Good Luck Mate Belmore, New South Wales, Australia

Found it with a lil help from the hint very wet after a rainy day. The gz was quite off and the difficulty was WAY to misleading, recommend changing. Anyways I'll stop talking and just say, Tftc bushnoob.

Find# 12400This was a very easy find. The coordinates are very accurate.TFTC bushnoob

TFTC

Tftc - no muggles which made it easy

Tftc - found with whsoeii

Found It!Not many people around here today due to all the rain. So it didn't take me long to find the cache (once I got myself on the correct side of the fence!)TFTC

26 February 2024This is find number: 9190Streak Day: 2993Found Today with Snoopy1976, a quick and easy find, looking elsewhere and then spotted it. ThanksThanks to Purplepeopleater for placing and maintaining this cache. TFTC

Streak Day #3882 - Over this way with Dave8153 for our cache of the day. Quick find for us today. TFTC

Between tennis on TV and a uni assignment, we needed a Saturday afternoon leg stretch which had us in Lakemba for geocaching. We visited here unsuccessfully in September 2019. Today we started looking in all the wrong places until our eyes fell upon the container fully exposed. We replaced it and covered it with a nearby item that looks like it was meant to hide the container. The hint is helpful but not entirely clear until we found the hiding place. SL TFTC CheersGaztek

Quick find but wasnt in the first place I looked. TFTC

All good in the hood here this morningTFTCMaybe a 4 in peak hour, but not on a Sunday morning

Feeling low yet a good find once hinted. With TBs Canadian Flag, Swiss Duck and Pittiplatsch in tow. Thanks

Found quite quickly. Good hint. Beware of needles.

Hi

Was not sure what to expect. Old mate was resting on the bench seat, so i had to out wait him. Whilst waiting, i was circling, looking like i was waiting for someone. I was. HIM to move on. LOL. Anyway, i had spotted it before he finally got up and trudged away. Straight to it. TFTC.

Well….. after surveying the area I saw one thing that I wanted to check and it was indeed the cache. Thankful, because it could have been a long search here otherwise. TFTC

Quick find for the rating, as I spotted something alluded to by a previous finder. TFTC!

Sydney Day 7: McMahons Point - South Head - Everleigh - Sydney Park - Belmore

Today’s agenda was a whirlwind of a journey, as I had promised to bring my partner over to Watsons Bay (which I have touted as my favourite place in Sydney) and them, later, to have dinner with the in-laws over in Belmore. That meant that there was a lot of travelling to be done today, on top of clearing up some of the outstanding caches on my Sydney to-do list. So, round and round I go, by ferry, light rail and train to complete another fruitful caching day.

(End of the cut and paste bit)

Popped by this one on the way with the partner to have dinner at the in-laws’ place down the road. It was a tad tricky, since I was initially distracted by what I thought was the hint object. After circling the GZ for a while, I saw the right thing and the cache soon after. Signed in and it was off to dinner. TFTC!

Good hide...thanks

I spent a few minutes looking on the large structure, but then started to look for something that matched the hint. It was found in plain sight...so i covered it with what had fallen off. TFTC

Haha not sure if this needs a 4 star difficulty!
TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Walked into the general area and started my search. It was staring at me and it took a second to realize . Signed log and returned to its spot with what I presumed was it’s bit of camo to hide it. TFTC

GREAT (double?) HINT! My GPRs didn't lead me to quite the right spot, but certainly to the general area. Searched a couple of spots to no avail, pondered the meaning/s of the hint, and soon spotted something a few m away. Yep, got CIH, signed log and replaced. TFTC!

I think somehow I was always fooled by the difficulty (well I was in my search too I guess). I thought parking would be an issue and although I went around a little bit didn't take too long to find something. Once at GZ I made this three more stars of difficulty than it actually was- and of course the hint made perfect sense after I found the cache. Glad to have this one off the list. TFTC!

Presenting at nearby Canterbury Leagues and this was a quick grab on my way out of the station. Thanks.

#17222 - 2:06:00 PM; In Sydney for a couple of days with the geohoney. While she headed into the city, I set off on the train again to see if I could claim the last couple of the Sydney LGA's I had outstanding. Unlike yesterday, the weather was fine, although a little humid. This was my last stop after visits to Burwood and Strathfield as I made my way here. It was also the closest find to a train station I managed to get in the last two days too! Despite the rating, it didn't take too long before I spotted the cache and added my name to the log. TFTC bushnoob

First ever find for one of us. A busy spot but found this one quickly no problem. TFTC!

Tftf

Met up with my friend in her lil part of the world at Belmore, thought I’d take her caching. Quick easy find, such a thrill for her first cache!! TFTC ??

EZ Find!

Cute hint TFTC

GG good cache

Focussed on the wrong object for too long before scaling down my expectations. Thanks bushnoob.

Walked through Belmore today, found it after not too long, I like the magnets on the container TFTC

Easy find. Already visible when we arrived. Signed and put back. Nice spot. Tftc!

Nice quick one while waiting for my daughter doing a dance rehearsal at Belmore Park. TFTC.

TFTC,
Working on a personal challenge with Nana nel to lift our found on every day count to 10 per day. For this date Nana needed 5 and I needed 3. We knew that 3 previous DNF's in the area were adopted and probably in good condition under the new CO so caching in this area would probably be good to us. 5 finds and 1 DNF, thanks to the CO's who take care of their caches.
Sure we looked there and many other places before. Great to turn a DNF into a smile, visited trackables.

Found today with Wazza9, stamped log and returned. Thanks to CO.

#2944 Quick find on my way to lunch with Rieka nearby. TFTC

Parking is the most difficult challenge here. After circling around it was eventually found with good coordinates.

This would be a good location to change it to a SideTracked cache like Lakemba and others i have planted. Just needs to be renamed and a bit of history about the great station.

Thanks for keeping this one going.

Being a Parramatta fan, I have never ventured into this part of deep dark Dogs territory. Found after a longish search.

SL TFTC

I think you need more than good luck for this cache.
Not saying it isn't there, just that it was too good for us if it is there. What started as a good start soon went bad with 3DNF's in a row and only 4 finds from 9 attempts.
I have been set a personal challenge by another cacher to lift my every day finds to 10 per day.
To complete this by the end of 2022, I have about 60 days that I must cache on and need to get up to 6 caches on the worst day. Since my local area has been almost cached out, it is necessary for me to travel to new areas or areas I have not cached in for some time. Unfortunately, my success rate is in the hands of the CO's maintaining their caches. An hour drive each way today for a les than 50% result will not bring me back in a hurry to this area.

omg this one was honestly super difficult during our geo-hunting
was actually our first hunt for the day and the first to stress myself and partner out till next time I guess

Even after a PAF I had no luck. I'll keep an eye on the two I've DNF'd and if I find myself out here again we'll see what happens
Thanks anyway

Very muggle heavy, even at this late hour.

Fabulous camouflage, definitely not the “orange egg” mentioned in other logs.

I believe it hadn’t been replaced quite as intended, which helped considerably in the low light situation.

Regardless, an excellent cache! Have a favourite point.

Tftc.

very muggly and hint too cryptic for me. 20mins time out.

TFTC after reading logs decided to have a proper look and bingo found the real one but no pen to sign but have photo to prove no it’s not the orange egg

bushnoob I found your cache Good Luck Mate on 11/10/20, 5:55 pm. This is my find 2757 and find # 16 today. Don’t think this is in the right spot. CO should check this and put it in the correct spot or reduce the difficulty rating. Found it quite easily. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Orange egg container with a small toy man inside. No log. Added a temporary log, signed and replaced as found, just below head height. TFTC

Its not the kinder egg on the billboard. Don't freak out

found it on a morning out with the GeoBro but it seemed out of place so we replaced it where we thought it should be. TFTC

Found but i think it had been moved. TFTC bushnoob

️

Too many muggles about, especially workmen type who didn’t want anyone snooping around their gear which was stashed at GZ.

Found after a search and PAF. Sneaky little hide and cryptic hint. Tftc

After searching for sometime we resorted to PAF for a gentle nudge, still took some searching. Cool camo. TFTC

Returned with extra time to spare and eventually CIH was made. Just being methodical in my approach gave me rewards, thanks bushnoob

No luck mate, looked until I was required to leave to make an appointment, shall return

No luck for us on a quiet Sunday afternoon. We found a pretty likely spot that did not have room for two but it just didn’t come to light. Fortunately, or not, we found a debit card and some ID cards that had probably been discarded by a thief and took them over to Campsie police station. Will watch with interest. Cheers... Gaztek

No luck today

After finding three other caches of the CO this one eluded me. I searched the metal fence at roadside, I caressed the bench, I poked in the garden and scoured the big sign behind. After no luck I camped on the bench and read all the past logs until I thought that I maybe arrested for loitering, so it was time to move on. I won't be back without some intel. TFTC.

#6411 (1 of 3 today)

After a few finds today, so thought I'd try a few new placements down south. I went for four, but was majorly muggled out of one.
But the other three were relatively easy finds - OK one took longer than it should due to flaky coordinates.

And I got a short bush walk in on one of them. Good day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Found parking nice and close this morning, and walked to GZ. Surprisingly few passing muggles too! Walked to GZ and... spotted it in the first place I checked. Quickly made the grab and completed signing duties on the bench.
Then after a few muggle walk pasts, back for the quick replace.

Good start.

Started to have a look then a couple of muggles came and started a conversation right at GZ.
Ill try again later.

A tricky hide that took a while and a bit of help.

TFTC.

Forgot to log my DNF. Got me searching for 30 mins and the only thing I saw was an old shoe...

I searched, I failed!

Found easily at night with few muggles about. TFTC

Easy find at night with very few muggles around. TFTC bushnoob

Tftc. Took some time looking while waiting for the break between muggles. Mrs Jaybeem made the find tonight.

This is the second time I’ve been here, the first was when FTF was still up for grabs.

At that time I had a very brief look around, in a half hearted manner before dashing off to continue running errands.

Today, I was gobsmacked at how I managed to miss this, even with a half look. I’m pretty sure I stared straight at it last time......oh well, it’s a smiley now

Interesting and fun container

Published

Cheers, that was fun.

I was thinking of going over earlier for this newly published cache but delayed it, and by the time I arrived there was a small group of people gathered at gz. The sneaky cache had been found after a bit of a search, and the log was passed around and signed as joint First to Find [FTF]. Then the cache was returned for the next finder. Good to meet some new friendly geocachers, and, of course, an old one (Brewmaker!). I'll give a fave point for this one. TFTC

Having grabbed a FTF on the FTF HOUNDS series along Heathcote Rd, I decided to stop here on my way to Summer Hill to visit my daughter. Geodude AU had asked me earlier, but I was heading south at the time! So a quick call and we arranged to meet here.

As I approached GZ, I saw what I at first thought were muggles, but the telltale sign of a phone, searching in odd places and a cry of "Have you found it yet?", revealed a small group of newbies. So we banded together, as GDAU arrived and after a bit digging around the very unique cache was revealed. Certainly only "room" for one!

Nice to meet up with some new cachers, and old cachers too, for a joint [FTF]. Giving this a FP for the container. TFTC
