Pretty easy find, wasnt too keen to walk into the bushy area, but there was a clear parting. Thanks!
Previously DNF this one in its previous form after looking for ages. This time I was able to make a nice quick find. TFTC
Well that took a long time. Very overgrown. Found with Steph_w01 and Aaronw0813 and geodog
Searched and searched and finally found it but because of how overgrown it is, it was abit difficult.
Didn't fancy the waist deep in ferns adventure, I'll be back when it dies down a bit
Coordinates changed from:S 33 41.848 E 150 57.011Coordinates changed to:S 33 41.844 E 150 57.014Distance from original: 28.8 feet or 8.8 meters.Changed this one up a bit
Decided to do a walk & look for some more of this series, some good sized well camouflaged containers. No luck with this one though, couldnt get the GPS to close in, and it could be anywhere. Ill be back. TFTC
Went back after owner maintenance. Found it after a search which took longer than it should have. Ty
Out with morty8888 for another days caching; today around The Hills District. I was glad avenge a previous dnf here when it was in a slightly different location. TFTC
OCW Oldmorty in the Hills area in 34 degree heat meant quick finds would be the aim. We searched for bait knowing what we were looking for and with deafening cicadas, we eventually found exactly what the hint suggested. TFTC!
I have replaced it.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 for this month’s "Wheel of Challenges" easy & hard souvenir chase. Photos will be uploaded to some (most) logs on our return to home base.
Today (day 3) we were heading homeward, going via Galston Gorge, but stopped off for some caches along the way. Collected some Traditional caches and a few previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, and had another (unsuccessful) go at a longish Mystery/Multi cache in Fagan Park at Galston. This was the 2nd of 8 finds for the day (day 3), and 53rd find of the holiday.
We had done the rest of the Smalls Creek cache series back in May this year, but this one (#7) was missing & disabled at that time, so we stopped by today to complete the series. Took longer than expected to find this well camoed cache, but the keen eye of the family's chief puzzle solver soon spotted it and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Nats.

Find #6370
Have replaced the cache in the original position, where the bicycle sign used to be.
It’s been a busy few months, I have the replacement cache ready to go - just need to find the time to go & place it. Will get onto it asap.
So sorry guys, the tree has been cut down & the container is gone. Need to re-think this one. Will replace as soon as I can.
Could not find this one. Checked every tree within the area. The tree the instructions direct you too seems to be non existent but i could just be doing something wrong.
Out this way with sport so had a look around to see what was available. Plenty of wet ground and Wander Dew in places. Plenty of muggles in various sections. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Unfortunately did not spot this one. Was about to widen the search when I noticed a red belly basking on some mulch. Although no threat to us, we retreated and left this one for another time.
Found it! Use compass in your phone and point North! In good traditions of #3!
On a bright, sunny August day, I figured it would be great to go on a leisurely afternoon bike ride along the beautiful Smalls Creek cycleway (before magpie swooping season starts) and find some geocaches! Starting from the north end and making my way south towards Samantha Riley Drive, this was the seventh find of the series. Probably the most challenging of them all (which isn't saying much, I really appreciate having a series of easy kid-friendly hides to help boost geo-confidence!), as noted by a previous finder, the bicycle sign is gone, but a quick review on Google Earth / StreetView confirmed where the sign used to be, had to wait for a few dog-walking muggles to pass before making a relatively easy find with the hint. Unfortunately there is water in the container and the log is damp but was still signable. Maintenance recommended. TFTC __Nats__!
Started at No.l and found them all so far but this one got me giving up on the way. Decided to go on to Nos. 8 and 9 and revisit this one on the way back. On the return visit I realised there was one tree I hadn't checked and there it was. Bicycle sign not evident any more which didn't help!!
Checked every tree north and looked around , it’s definitely it hanging on a branch anymore
The bike pole has taken a fall but the cache is perfectly intact and on the tree
Found the right tree, as there were a couple to choose from. The cache was in the position as suggested. Decided not to remove it as a muggle dad across the road was gardening on his front lawn. The cache is somewhat exposed, however does have some camo over the top to try and conceal it. I can’t imagine a muggle would stumble across it though.
TFTC. It’s a lovely drive through the suburb.

A quick find, gZ has been affected by the removal of a large tree so the cache is exposed. I have messaged CO. TFTC

OCW with Calypso62 today to try and reach the summit of Acongachua.
Back today to find this one as it was disabled when we were here to collect the other.
This was a quick find.

Out on a caching run with Rama497 to gather points for the current Reach The Peak promotion. Nice to grab another one along this pathway. Thanks for the geofun.

I had to change this cache due to bush clearing in the area & the fact that it kept going missing from the sign. It is no longer on the bicycle sign anymore but about 7 paces due North, on a tree. Here's hoping it lasts this time.
