Quick park-n-grab (after a short walk), second of several today clearing some unfound caches that have popped up in the last few years. I circled GZ once and had a closer look at one particular part of the structure which revealed the cache. SL, quite a large zip-lock bag for such a small container! The log paper is in tatters but still sign-able. TFTC WhoGang!

Glad to log a find after a bad day. After taking geo-pup to the vet, I really needed a pick me up so I decided to grab the last of the modern wonders I had left (Taj Mahal in this instance). Decided to go out to Glendenning, glad I did as I took a walk around the park which was very quiet. It was nice to go for a stroll, can always count on geocaching to lighten the day! Took a treasure, and left a treasure. TFTC!

I decided on a day in Sydney's west for some caching today on this beautiful winter's day.
It was a much further drive than I had expected!
I have been here before although quite some time ago as the nearby establishment is a good place to park for the Western Sydney Parklands walking track which is nearby.

It's interesting to read the history of Glendenning. I'm always interested to know how our suburbs were named.
Geodog and I walked across the Pig Farm area. Its a bit of a wet squelchy area so I guess the pigs would have loved it.

I circumnavigated the object to get an idea of where the cache might be hidden and then found it in the first place I checked. Its a micro sized cache, not a small.

23-Jun-20
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
 
19-Jun-20
Thought we would try and find our first cache. Note to selves, night is probably not the best time to try for your first. Will try again in daylight.
 
10-Jun-20

This was the first of 14 finds for the day. Mizmaz and I had discussed catching up and caching when she was staying with family near me for a few days. This was the first target on our list and we managed to park as close to the cache as possible but still needed to make a walk, unfortunately on an embankment and through long, wet grass. We both noted likely hiding spots and made the necessary checks until we located the cache with cute camo. SL. TFTC and the short history lesson.
 
15-Feb-20
Quick PnG starting a “catch up and caching afternoon” with Sarah_Frances while I was in the area for a family function tomorrow and before tackling the nearby Star series. Likely GZ spotted from afar as we made our way through the long wet grass, with a colourful hide confirmed on arrival.
 
30-Jan-20
Found today, first geocache tftc!
 
23-Jan-20
Got to GZ saw what appeared to be a pink nose in the grass it wasn't attached to anything. Looking around eventually spotted a pink face. Convinced it to come out of its hidey hole. It was then I realised I had left my pen at home after I got changed. Lucky I have a spare in the car. That reminds me I better refill my back ups

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache WhoGang

Found with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) today, done in the evening to let the heat ease a bit. Parked in car park and walked to GZ, quick find with cache guardian looking on. Log signed and replaced. TFTC
 
04-Jan-20
Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H). It had been a hot day, so we left our caching adventure until the evening, hoping it would be cooler. It was, maybe, by a degree or two. We parked and walked to GZ and started our search. Soon we spotted the hide. There was a spider out and C took a photo. TFTC.

Thought it was about time to put some more smileys on the map in our local area. Went along with ilook4geo and had a successful day. This was a nice easy find and achievable despite the nearby fence construction guys. Found this one very quickly, retrieved it and signed the log. All was then replaced and we were off on the hunt again. Thanks go to WhoGang for this cache placement.
 
03-Dec-19
Started out today with goingplaces2 to collect some nearby caches. We had a lot of fun and found what we wanted. All logs were signed or had initials added. Each was then hidden again to keep it safe. TFTC.

Tftc. After wandering over from the car park we made a quick find and returned slowly to the car in the heat. Got back to the car and realised I’d left my phone over there. Damn another return trip in the heat.

#6691 (1 of 4 today)

After a busy morning it was time to head up Richmond Road to Glendenning for some caching goodness.
Went for three new caches and since I was close I had another try at a previous DNF - and got it!
Headed home in time to almost unwind before having to pick up Geoson #2 from the station.

Very windy out this afternoon. Just glad I wasn't looking for anything under a big gum tree.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked in Rathmore Circuit and took the path into the reserve. Didn't take long to realise where GZ was, and once there the search began.

Of course I immediately identified a logical hiding spot while failing to notice that the cache was right there. Sigh. Red Face
Didn't take too long to come back and spot it, thankfully.

Completed signing duties and replaced, then decided to walk to my next target.

[FTF] @ 4:04pm. Having just checked on one of my nearby caches and I was about to drive home when this notification came through. Wow! A new geocache 400m away, should be able to get a FTF before all those regional hounds come running. Arriving at GZ, I spotted many places to look but went to the most obvious and soon had cache in hand in the second place I looked. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM
Cheers dkmacca
