Gone. Cannot maintain

TFTC !

No luck today

Couldn't find‍

Late night grab on the way home from training TFTC

Found It!
A quick find here, but then it isn't really hidden is it? Not too many people here today either which made things easier.

Nice location! Have been here many times and didn’t know there is a cache here

The traditional Friday afternoon post work geocaching brought us to North Rocks today. A nice little shopping centre and a muggle free search and we soon had CIH. As is our won’t with OME caches we listen to the songs on the way home. This one brought a surprising memory from Mr Gaztek after we read the lyrics and the song background. His parents raced greyhounds when he was young and they took a greyhound tour cross America in the 70s. In Florida, they stayed at the Fontainebleau Hotel! Mr Gaztek’s mother was a famous and successful greyhound trainer in Sydney and had lots of firsts as a female trainer. Unexpected geocaching connection! SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek

Interesting coincidence story from Gaztek below. Cool

Hah I’ve not seen that before thank you

A NY song I'm unfamiliar with but once again, OMU has exposed me to something new. Had to wait for the trolley guy to move on once I'd finally spotted something suspicious, which turned out to be what I wanted. Thanks Old Man Emu.

TFTC. Took a photo but didn't sign the log. This was an opportunistic find. I was here doing a delivery and thought I'd check what was in the area. Lo and behold this cache was only 50m from my location. Not knowing the area, I figured it had to be on the rooftop carpark for a GPS signal, so I headed up there and quickly spotted this one. I'm surprised this is still here after so long due to it being so obvious.

Just casually leaning on the wall... Waiting for the muggles to load the car and go

TFTC. I’m not familiar with this shopping centre set up so wandered around trying to find where the actual area was to start my search. At least I got my steps up. When I did find the correct area it was a quick find and a cache I had never found before. A good idea. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley and it wasn’t too wet coming down.

Still here !

????

Easy to find

Thanks! A quick find

The kids and I had no luck finding this for our very first geocache

Thank you

Out for my first cache day of the new year. This was a great way to start.

Very quick and easy find, when I lived at Rydalmere I used this shopping centre occasionally and never even realised this parking area existed. Thanks Old Man Emu.

An afternoon of Covid safe geocaching in my LGA took me around some interesting caches in the North Rocks area.

The parking lot was deserted and I could park very close. Good hide Old Man Emu!

TFTC

Nice fun one for the kids

Pick a harder spot

Easy find

Tricky find but patience paid off. TFTC.

Found it.

Fun! Thanks for the concrete find.

Found it with Lunalovegood72....nice hide....we were looking too low at first....tftc

Luna Lovegood72 got it. Almost gave up but ‘ hung in there’ and it paid off!

This cache is so visible from the parking area I am surprised it is still in place. Nicely engineered old school cap.
Love the music attached to these caches

Just checking a few after the massive rain. It's still here.

Be safe everyone.

Good

Great cache. Parked next to it, grabbed, signed log in car and replaced.

Nice easy cache followed by a coffee and cake as a reward!! TFTC

Quick find with Bougie Rogue,Everest high, and Brew. Came after a breakfast catch up.

Cheers for the cache!

Another quick find. OCW Brewmaker, Morry9 and Boogie Rogue. TFTC Old Man Emu

Quick find once at right level. TFTC

TFTC of course it’s name makes sense... now!

Another great hide OldManEmu.

Parked not far away at about 8am in the rain. Few people around. Just me and the cleaner.

Cheeky hiding spot - beware of muggle interest.

Very open! No muggles around. Tftc

While looking for it we got approached by a fellow cachet who had already found it. Offered a clue but we did not need one. Thanx

Relatively quick find TFTC

Not the exact location but found it in the end

Nice and easy

Late night stop for me, had to sign in highlighter, it was the only thing I had on me. TFTC.

Pretty easy one to find

Find #: 2,385
Companions: None
Muggles: Some in cars, but not too close
Weather: Lovely winter morning
Cache condition: Good

I decided to go for a jog around the area, and was on my way back when I got to this cache. I spotted the container on approach, but it would be unlikely to attract the attention of muggles. TNLNSL TFTC

Ocw oldmorty, first time in a long time. Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

Teamed up with marj01 for a days caching, our first outing in a while. The break from caching has sharpened marj01's senses as he was on fire today when it came to finding the hides. TFTC Old Man Emu.

TFTC. Quick find. Log & cache are in good condition. Geodog Atlas was out caching with us.

Good quick find for us - hope the muggles don't get it. TFTC.

Out with Clazza to pick a cache for the new month. A bold hide, not quite as expected.

Good one, thanks OME.

Nice one! Quick, easy find. Tftc

The hint had me perplexed, until I saw the container.
I had expected something completely different.
Tftc.

After the recent rains this one certainly need a new log. All good back in play

If it is stuck to a drainpipe, I think it’s been broken

Log is soaked but it was Nice and quick, first cache of the day. Tftc

Easy find on the 7/2/2020

Found it with jackjay1 and ozuk. Thanks for bringing us here

This one was nice quick for me and Geo-Sevabo. Thanks

Great day out for caching - enjoyed the travelling with sevabo and ozuk. Thanks for the cache.  ★★

Quick find once at GZ.
Thanks for the cache.
Log is damp.

TFTC. SL. Finally found it! A bit wet the log. Good camouflage.

The navigator is dodgy

The prior location just didn't work. If you phone a friend they might direct you to the old location but its about 28 m away as per updated coordinates. A simple cache.

Replaced

Needs maintenance. It was a good spot but I may also move it.

Unable to find tonight. Have checked with previous finder and is no longer here

Might need a check by the CO

Need stronger magnets for this one. Worked had been called off because of the rain once I got there so gave me the opportunity to do this carpark caches before they got busy. Sort of secretive spot but where the cache actually sticks means it pretty visible. Did my best to hide better. Tftc tnln

quick find on wet morning. walked past and saw waited for area to be clear before taking away to open and sign undercover. replaced where i found it

After having found the nearby cache on the other side of the shopping centre we walked to this location. A quick walk and grab and the off to the outdoor dining area for lunch.

OCW the Bebes. Quick park and grab. Tftc

Quick find for last streak day

Well that was somewhat of a disaster, the smart phone took me around the world and into the shopping centre carpark. Then I wandered about trying to get to GZ. Got there in the end.

Dropped by to check and it was in a puddle of Rain ! Rain ! Where did that come from we need more !

I suppose BluTack makes a bad magnet outdoors so I've upgraded to real magnets. It's delicate. Please examine the contact, replace as is was and she will survive.

Also the Log baggy was ripped and open ! I reduced its size and let it dry on the hood of my car whilst doing a few calls. It's serviceable but I'll print a new log and use a better log container.

Nice to see the Dice was still there !

It was down low and my arms could not reach it. Going in to get it reminded me that I could lose a few inches off my waistline! Time to exercise Al! TFTC

I made the grab for this one after Mum spotted t. TFTC

Grabbed by Little Shoes on the way home from picking up dad. TNLNSL TFTC.

Quick find with Deep_99 to keep the streak going. SL #4213 on streak day #2605 I rolled a 5 TFTC

Quick find with Ris768 rolled a 2 thanks Old Man Emu for placing this cache

Log 2072 Streak Day 965

If you get the right parking lot, you don’t have to walk that far nice spot! Tftc Katzakas and Krystov

Found it quickly. TFTC, OME

Another quick find, with Little Shoes being sent in to make the grab. We found the cache loose on the ground, and suspect it's not where the CO placed it. Rolled the dice and scored 2. TFTC

A quick park and grab.
