Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. Wet logbook so we photo it.

Nice find and thankfully fairly quiet so not too many muggles!
 
Had to be stealthy due to much curious muggle activity. Nice hide. Ty

Streak day #38.

This one was a quick find at GZ. I loved the use of 3D printing!

When approaching GZ, I initially missed the turn off to enter the carpark, and had to do a loop around the block. On one of the side streets, some teens intentionally pushed a shopping trolley in front of my car. Fortunately I was able to react in time and no damage was done.

Log could use a plastic baggie to stay dry (and a new sheet would be good too)

18-Oct-22
Spotted this one on my geo-map while having a bite to eat at the nearby shopping centre so swung here by when I'd finished. A quick find but as others have reported, the log sheet is pretty damp at the moment ... was still able to scrawl my name on it though.

Thanks for the smiley Morley196.

My geodog Zelda has a cache named Zelda's Zoo too for you. A quick find but the log is too wet to sign. We tride to scribe. Needs TLC. TFTC
 
17-Apr-22
Way to wet to sign. Pretty simple find especially with the clue. Needs new log paper. TFTC
 
26-Feb-22
I read that there was a need for a new log...and and O ring. I had a log in my wallet, but not the other. I replaced the wet log and screwed it up nice and tight, but this wet weather has a way...

In the vicinity for work today. Thought I'd grab a quick cache find during my lunch break. Spotted the hide on arrival but found the log in a less than pristine condition. Although damp, I did manage to inscribe my moniker. I guess this container is not quite waterproof.
Thanks for the fun.
 
17-May-21
A CO visit is recommended to replace the rather damp log. Perhaps the addition of a rubber O ring will keep the log dry in future.

Today we took another trip out to Rouse Hill on the Metro driverless train, travelling from Chatswood Metro Station to Tallawong Metro Station, to continue with our cachey exploration of the area. Our walking route took us from the Tallawong Metro Station, following the suburban backstreets, into the western side of Rouse Hill Regional Park. After collecting numerous caches scattered around the park we exited the park on the eastern side and then followed Windsor Road down to the Rouse Hill Metro Station, where we boarded another Metro train for our return journey homeward. This was the 12th of 12 finds for the day.

We continued following the pathway beside Windsor Road, then ducked down Commercial Road, to end our caching day with this one. And it was to be a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Log was full and quite wet, but we still managed to leave our mark.

And now it's time for us to get ourselves to the Rouse Hill Metro Station for our homeward journey. TFTC Morley196.

A nice late afternoon drive through the area, stopping for a few caches along the way. The cage was quickly spotted and the small 3D printed cache container soon thereafter.
Log sheet is wet, so a photo log instead.

OCW marg+1 around Kellyville, Bella Vista, and King's Langley today.
We found trads and multis and had some dnf's but best of all we had a great day out and I would like to thank the various CO's for providing the caches.
 
22-Aug-20
Looked like an afternoon full of DNFs until I found this one. As others have mentioned log is full and damp, so I signed over a faded bit. TFTC

Headed here after Tallawong station with Rheneas, and we had CIH within seconds. Log is now full on one side, and because paper is wet, writing on the other side will be difficult. TFTC Morley!

Yay found it... too a while, I would recommend standing on the path side rather looking at it from the car park!

Paper it a bit wet but everything else is good Smile

HA!HA!HA!Ha!Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I'm actually out of the house - for one of the acceptable reasons that isn't "exercise" (how for from home can you go to exercise anyway? Can you drive to exercise? I suspect not) or food shopping.

So... diverted slightly to make a find. This find.
Nice quick one too.

Made the grab and found a fairly damp log. Managed to sign and replace, but I think an O ring here would be beneficial.

Then to Rouse Hills shops - got toilet paper AND hand sanitiser. Very surprised at that!
Now to head home and put the finishing touches on a new cache - I suspect there will be very few placed in the next few months. And this one will be within normal walking / exercise distance from home. Of course when it's actually published is anyone's guess.

This was the twelfth of 14 finds for the day. After finding ‘Quakers Star 10’, Mizmaz and I returned to my house for a quick break and refresh for the next part of our adventure. We wanted to complete the nearby multi at Rouse Hill but were also looking for nearby traditional caches that neither of us had found. For this particular one, Mizmaz advised me that it wasn’t too much of a detour and we parked in the parking lot right next to GZ. Taking a shortcut without damaging the area, we found GZ straight away but trying to open the cache required a bit of twisting and turning. SL. TFTC.

Adding a quick PnG to a “catch up and caching day” with Sarah_Frances while I was in the area for a family function tomorrow and before tackling some other priorities nearby. While an easy find of a standard container, first one I’ve seen made of this.

No, don't start me off on another challenge!
I did know this challenge existed but have tried hard not to think about it.

Plenty of parking at 7.30am on a Saturday morning, got the spot right next to GZ. Basically a quick park and grab on the way to Scheyville. Took longer for the lights to change and get back onto Windsor Road!
Might have put the wrong month on the log, too early to think.

*** FTF *** @ 15:30.
Was on my home from Epping when I saw these new Morley hides publish. Decided on 2 out of the 3 for possible. FTF's. And I was rewarded on both.
This one is a spot I drive past almost daily. I knew exactly where it was and to park. Found GZ easily. It was then a case of checking 4 spots before coming up with the goods.
Thanks again Morley.
 
02-Dec-19
Came along here tonight with ilook4geo and met again with ris768 and Deep_99 who were just finishing off the signing duties on the log. Added both our names to the list and had some more geo chat before heading back home again. There was plenty of parking here, especially at night. Thanks go to Morley196 for placing this cache and for a Z cache.
