On a side rail journey up here after work. For a few nighttime finds before returning via the railway line homebound. Easy find after staying away from the blue line. Nice container. TFTC Morley196
Found it on the ground below where it probably shouldve been. Magnets seem to have failed and with the container being what it is all I could do was leave it at the base of one of the uprights TFTC.
Excellent 3 D amazing tool.
Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

I hadn't loaded this in my device but had a hard copy map of the Rivo caches vand this was on it. It was an easy find in an obvious place.

We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in North Western Sydney, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Holidays Avina BIG4 Holiday Park at Vineyard. Hoping to collect some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some Adventure Labs, and accumulate enough cache finds with our mini seven day streak for this month’s "Wheel of Challenges" (medium) souvenir. Photos will be uploaded to some (most) logs on our return to home base.
Today (day 2) started with an exploration of the area around Riverstone, collecting some Traditional caches and going for a walk around the Riverstone CBD for an Adventure Lab and it's associated AL Bonus cache, but sadly there was also several DNFs. After lunch we headed up to Richmond for a four stage MultiCache and a couple of Traditional caches. This was the 5th of 15 finds for the day (day 2), and 12th find of the holiday.
After a DNF at the previous cache, this was the next one we came to as we drove along Railway Terrace, and thankfully it was a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. The old police lockup keeper's residence across the road, next to the modern day police station, was quite interesting to see. TFTC Morley196.

Find #6199
quick and easy find, i thought it was a part of the pole. We had cache in hand in a matter of seconds, a few lookers but no questions. They could’ve SIGNed something suspicious
We SIGNed the cache quickly after finding it. We didn’t cop any questions from the mugglers near by.
#3168 Second of three finds while out and about in Riverstone. Quick find. TFTC
Out with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) to do an AL, parked nearby so had a go at this one. Arrived GZ and quickly had CIH. Log signed and returned, TFTC
Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H) . We parked nearby, walked to GZ and soon had CIH. Log signed and all replaced and we went across the road to start the AL. TFTC.
Out and about on a walking tour of Riverstone to find a few new caches that has been published since I was last here - as I was walking towards this cache, three cop cars rushed pass heading south with sirens blaring but when I arrived at GZ it was pretty quiet. The container is not actually magnetic as the hint suggests, but is still easily findable with the coords given. I carefully signed the log and moved on before the fuzz had a chance to get suspicious. TFTC Morley196!
TFTC. A nice quick find. I’m doing the ALabs in the area and doing a few geocaches as well. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley
In the area today and once I'd finished my chores decided to grab a few more caches in the area and this was one of them.
After parking nearby the cache was soon in hand and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

#7670 (5 of 10 today - including 7 Adventure labs)
Headed out in the afternoon for some caching goodness. Wanted a calendar find or two, and decided I'd head to Riverstone to clean up a few of the smileys still there.
Got everything I went for, but have to day I'm not a fan of caches placed in sight of police stations...
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Well, I have actually gone past this one, but there were police on the balcony, so kept going.
Today, no one to be seen there. So decided I'd stop for 30 seconds or so and search,and if I spotted nothing keep going rather than linger.
Luckily I spotted it immediately and barely had to break my stride. Took well, well away to complete signing duties before returning for the instant replace.
So glad this one is done and dusted.
And I'm right next to the start of another AL...

Our seventh find in Riverstone. We set out to find seven caches as part of a Run Down Under competition with the theme of "7", so it was good to complete that. Signed as The Shoes x3, TFTC.
Our final find for the day after getting little shoes to 1000 finds, off to get chips now to celebrate! TFTC!
OCW Sensible Shoes and Shoes Junior. Found this one on our walk around Riverstone for the Run Down Under challenge. It was #9 (the final one!) for the day. Great hide. TFTC
Day 2 of post-Christmas caching with aubeasty and we still had a bunch to find before we reached our goals. Rain, wind and humidity could not stop us and the mix of ALs and trads in the area got us over the line before the end of 2020, phew!
Another quick find while out doing the nearby AL. Don’t think any of the folks across the road noticed.

TFTC. Quick find. OCW MF428 and the geokid lookoutlexiisabout. Geodog Atlas was not with us today.
A quick park and grab, first of two I targeted to finish the ancient wonders list.
Two ALs and an influx of new hides had me coming up a day earlier for a family function to lay assault on the Riverstone area. Passed this GZ a few times while doing a few loops of Rivo ticking off smileys in a logical order for my records. Wonder if the cops notice how busy this corner gets with people on devices.
Cop it or stop it. Found it, so keep going. Cache on! OCW Brewmaker. TFTC Morley196
Drove over from the eastern burbs today to complete a couple of Adventure Labs and a few traditional creative 3D-printer caches by the CO. Owing to their placement, most were a quick park and grab. TFTC Morley196.
TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Today I decided to have an early break from work(ing from home) and head out to grab some geocaches. Wrestling my way through school-traffic it took me a long time to drive from Castle Hill to Riverstone.
Once arrived, I unfolded my foldable bike and started my Riverstone exploration and picked up quite a few caches, a Lab cache adventure and many creative 3D-printer creations.
Magnetic got my started on the wrong food as I inspected the metal objects for some mint-tin. I was not expecting the cache that came out of Morley196's 3D printer.

My last attempt to find a cache situated, similarly, almost led to my being arrested. The occupants of the nearby establishment photographed me and my driver's licence, and sent me off with a warning not to lurk with geo- or any other intent, ever again, not nohow!!!. So it was with a bit of trepidation that I re-offended ... but all went well, and it was soon CIH, log signed, and a successful getaway made.
Thank you, Morley196

Riverstone tends to be a place I go through rather than to, so it was good to spend an hour or so around town this morning, using the good old geo-map as my guide.
I particularly enjoyed your cache making abilities ... it's amazing what you can do with a 3-d printer these days. Thanks for your efforts morley196 and, along with goingplaces2, for showing me a good time in Rivo.

Drove to Riverstone this morning cv with the adventure lab as an incentive. Turned home with a lot more finds then anticipated! That always good. Lots of interesting containers in the area.

Just doing a cruise around Rivo with ilook4geo and picking up some caches that have appeared since we were last here. There was no problem in finding each one we looked for and muggles were thankfully elsewhere. Thanks go to Morley196 for adding this cache to the game.
Found this one with goingplaces2 and quickly did the duties with as much discretion as possible. Names were added to the log and we were on our way again. TFTC.
Quick find after getting a multi splinter on my middle finger. A dot, dash and a dot.
Very busy along here. No good time of the day I'd expect.

My second Rivo find after filling up the car with cheap petrol. A nice bit of 3D printing. Now boys or girls in blue spotted today. Thanks Morley196.

Just a heads up. I found the attachment component of the cache was broken, although it was still attached. It still works but the you might like to check on it.
#5338- First to sign the new log. Another nice easy one- wasn't copped! Thanks

A quick stop from the local church cache and we found ourselves searching for and finding this cache.
The search was over within 1 minute and the cache brought to the GeoVehicle post-haste.
The cache is in excellent condition but as stated by the CO, tweezers are a must.
Thanks for the cache.

Our first day out geocaching after the global pandemic. We have still yet to get our geocaching eyes and fingers back into gear as we were only 50% successful today. Oh well, plenty more caches our there to practice on.
With the geomobile strategically parked to avoid the eyes of the constabulary, a reasonably quick find was made. Luckily we had tweezers to sign the log before replacing the cache as found.

Geodog and I continued our walk around Riverstone heading along Railway Terrace until we reached the Cop Shop. Its new and modern and seems very large for this area.
I could see a likely spot to hide a cache and as luck would have it a large 4WD with stuff on the roof was parked perfectly to shield me from prying eyes across the road.
The cache was a quick find but getting the log out was quite difficult. I carry a small TOTT to help with kind of camo but it was still tricky.
SL and replaced the cache then we headed south on to the next one.

With an early mark from work, Parked up close to GZ, with 5 new Morley hides, decided to walk the loop.
Easily had CIH, extracting the log sheet was interesting but replaced in a manner that it should be a simple task. Thanks Morley
