cache removed Archived

Thirteen geofind of the day. Now its nightfall. Easy find, yet not so easy to write ones details down. Log sheets stiffened with the cache soaked a bit. Still its a find. TFTC Max_5

Spent about 20 minutes couldnt find it (

Nice arvo for an explore after the zoo.Needs maintenance.Didnt have a spare logbook with us.TFTC though..

Found the cache, however its heavily waterlogged and needs maintenance. TFTC!

Waterlogged

TFTC! The path leading down is a bit overgrown but it clears up. And as mentioned in other logs, the cache is waterlogged. A good walk nonetheless.

There were many places to check along the path here. After getting a little lost, a log pointed us in the rigjt direction to which it was an immediate find.The log is a wet moldy crisp completely unsignable. Needs maintenance. TFTC

New logbook needed

TFTCQuick find but log is drenched so couldnt sign.

Found..... But it had water in it

#18 Fun find. Log is a little dirty but we signed and returned to its hidey hole. TFTC

Cool spot! Log has been a bit wet

Found in the first place I find

Found 5/11/23.

Found it instantly. 5/11/23

Great spot

Thanks

#23 Schofields to Doonside 29/05/23 can’t sign log needs maintenance TFTC

Rehid it
Hint: stone wall,pine tree

Good little hide TFTC

Log requires replacing. Mouldy and sticky

TFTC, found it quite easily . Log is wet and slimy lol, so we didn't sign it. PS, if you are adventurous, climbing down the rock wall is do able . We walked around.

After having found 'Magnificent', we followed the footpath, later on the lower path, to this cache. The cache was quickly found, and retrieved. The log is wet and quite difficult to sign.

TFTC. Quick find at GZ. OCW MF428 & Lookoutlexiisabout.

Took the wrong path originally so clambered down the rock wall to make the find and continued along the lower path to the next one. TFTC

TFTC. OCW MF428 & Miltsy92.

Good hide. Fun find.
Inside is very wet and sticky, could not sign.

Good spot
Little bit sticky

Found the geocache. But it took us a awhile to find it aha was an amazing hiding spot.

well hidden but easy to spot with a good eye

Supper easy to find great tftc

TFTC Nice quick find

Co ords seem a little off but previous clues made it a nice easy find thank you

During a rain break I went for a walk through Bungarribee and looked for this cache.
The logbook is wet and my pen did not write.

Thank you for the cache
Team sissifalke

The area where it was placed has many snakes and other creatures so I didnt go near it

Find #: 2,734
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Pleasant summer morning
Cache condition: Good

After finding the lake-not-lake cousin cache I ambled across to this one. Once at GZ I soon spotted the likely hiding spot - CIH, TNLNSL, TFTC

It was hard but, you might look high, you might look low but the hint is: look from afar.

Easy find!

Approached by the recommended route and stood back before taking a punt on the likely spot. Thanks Max_5.

TFTC

Great and easy find

Quick and easy find. Will hid it better

????

Easy find

Almost fell off a rock wall ??

Found it near a pine tree. Good spot.

A good amount of cammo, but would be instantly recognisable to the seasoned geocacher as with the other one, log is a bit moist. Tftc

Easy find, look for the flash of colour as other users posted. Cleaned the contents as it had dirt and rust and put the cache back where it was. TFTC!

Parked the car and then walked along the path to GZ. The cache was found straightaway. The log was signed and then the cache was replaced as found. Thank you Max_5 for placing this cache.

#8514- Not a part of the area I can say I've been to before. An easy spot but a bit harder for me to get up to. Log is a bit Damo but still fine to write on atm. Thanks

A very quick and easy find in the end as unfortunately it was sitting right out in the open. After signing, I tucked it back in the obvious spot and arranged some camo in front of it. Tftc!

Just as i was arriving at the GZ i received a call from work asking me to come in 3 hours earlier than id planned to.
I ended up scrambling down the rocks and thankfully made a quick find before racing home for a shower before heading for the job.
Thanks.

What a nice walk along here. The shade was welcome on a hot Sunday afternoon. Once at GZ the container was sitting out with the lid off and log and contents strewn about. We gathered it all up and tucked it away in the obvious spot placing some recognisable camo in front of it. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Thanks for the great cache

Found it with my friend took a little while but me managed to find it.

It was easy just follow the gps cords

Abseiled down from above, well jumped down the steps, but realised I needed to go up a bit to enable CIH, thanks Max_5

A very good location. Easy find, saw it from the path

TFTC, quick find.

Took a bit to find but the colour helped us

Easy find but there are so many places to look
Good luck

Eventually found.

After completing the AL in Nurrugingy Reserve, I drove over to another part of the parklands for some more caches.
Not a very straightforward find but got it in the end.

TFTC!

Parking in this area was fairly near the cache but looking at the area it didn't look very user friendly with more of those horrid Farmers Unfriendly weeds. Nevertheless we battled through and ended up very close to GZ. But......wrong level. It does say in the cache information that there is no access from the level we were on but a bit of careful climbing and even vertically challenged me made it to the correct level.
From there it took a bit of searching to reveal the cache. For me it was about 10m away from the posted co-ordinates but that might be due to the wall creating an interference. Another cache hide that would arose a suspicious geocacher but look like another rock in the wall to passing muggles.

Took a while to get CIH. OCW Jackscruff after event nearby. TFTC Max_5

Wow saw one of the biggest lizards ever an area like this! Borderline Dino! Tftc

OCW MavEtJu today as an escape from the everyday and super happy to be out for a walk. A fantastic placement as it really could have been anywhere and it was well away from muggle eyes. Thanks Max_5.

It's time for MavEtJu and ziggiau to raid the area. Second lot, between Blacktown Olympic Park and Bunya - TFTC!

Saw the tell tale sign of a geo-hide for a quick find.

Came by here with my Mum.

Took a few moments to find but a quick flash of colour caught my eye and sure enough I'd found it.

Mum thought It was really cool.

TFTC

Nice spot. Found with Julie. TFTC.

Found! The log was a little wet. Left a peperclip

Some good and succesfull caching in the Parklands and Quakers Hill area. Had solved a lot of puzzles in preparation and also prepared myself for a lot of bike riding. Just had not counted on the weather not playing. Although mostly cloudy and only a few drops here and there, it was the heavens opening up about half way through the day, only 400 meters from the car but enough to get soaking wet!!

Another day for a cache find with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0), parked car a little way from GZ and took a nice walk to GZ. After a bit of searching as units had given us a large GZ area, T came up with the find. Log signed and returned. TFTC

Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H). We headed out for a short walk and to go for one of these caches. We parked and headed towards GZ and then back-tracked a little to get on the right path. Once at GZ we started our search. Our units wouldn't settle and there were plenty of potential hides. We did a bit of climbing, then extended our search area and soon had CIH. Log stamped and all replaced and we left a trackable. Then we continued along the path and back to the car. TFTC.

Look the tight path straight to GZ even saw a bit of colour as I approached so a nice quick find

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 Max_5

This was the twelfth of 19 finds for the day. After finding ‘My Backyard – A lake view maybe’, we headed back along the path, as I indicated to Mizmaz that there was another cache nearby. For an unknown reason, it never appeared in Mizmaz’s search. Using the hint wasn’t too helpful, so we kept looking for spots that appeared to be hiding something. After a few attempts, Mizmaz found the cache. SL. TFTC.

Catching up with a caching friend for the day, targeted the Nurragingy AL and a cluster of new options since my last visit. Glad the 100% success rate of quick finds in SF’s and the CO’s backyard made the effort in 35+ degree heat (and minimal shade) worthwhile. Had plotted my agenda using a list rather than “all in a radius” PQ and had missed adding this one. Luckily it showed up in SF’s app and we could complete all current Backyard smileys in one go.

**Total find count: 1144**

Our last childfree day before heading back to work. A few sporadic caches, as well as two Adventure Labs @ Rookwood.

A relatively quick find once the GPS settled.

Also spotted at GZ, some wild rabbits/hares keeping watch.

Tftc! Another find for N today and the first time for us meeting other geocachers!

Decided to do a bit of caching today with ilook4geo and found this one easily. Actually it was here that we met some fellow cachers. We chatted for a while and all was put back as it had been found once the signing had been done. It was good to meet someone else who was out on the hunt. Thanks go to Max_5 for placing these caches in our next door neighbours back yard.

Found this cache while taking in the view with goingplaces2. Met some fellow cachers here which was enjoyable. It was an easy find, log was signed by all parties, all was replaced. Job done. TFTC.

Bit of an adventure to get this one! TFTC!

Found on the way home, doing a ‘Canary’

Easy find, fun for after school activity, minus the excitement of standing on a bull ants nest....ouch!

#7279 (3 of 4 today)

Out before Fathers' Day festivities for some calendar finds today. Decided to head out to the Western Sydney Parklands for four - and found them all without too much trouble. Then back home in plenty of time.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Walked the somewhat neglected path, it seems to me and by the time I'd checked the iPhone, I was already 20 metres past it.

Back a little and took in the area. And that looks like a probably hiding spot... Right first time!
Made the grab, signed, replaced and tossed up walking or driving to to final target for the day. Decided due to time constraints it had to be the latter.

14:10hrs - found. Blimmin' phone GPS gave up the ghost as soon as i got within 5 metres of GZ. Paced back & forth, searched a few places & waited impatiently for GPS to settle. Started assessing the area, & poking my hiking pole into likely hidey-holes. Heard cache give a telltale rattle. Signed log; left 3 hand-made key ring charms & and a jelly bracelet I got from another cache years ago. TFTC - fav point from me, just coz I can

Quick find with Ris768 thanks Max_5 for bringing us to this new location

Should have read the cache name earlier!?!
