Trust the arrow, brave the spikes and enjoy the hide. Nice work on the outer container. Inner was tough to open and log a bit wet but got initials on it. TFTC and an FP for the construction.
What an actual Bush bash though spider infested bush Nothing worse Probably the spot you'd find me on the course looking for my golf ball Found my ball and continued on to the next geocache.
Been over a year since being back here for a search. From memory the grass was very high and very wet. Anyhow, after a little bush bash and pushing spider webs to the side I arrived at a spot which my a attention an old fridge , surely not I said to myself , this doesn't appear the style of Sweetmanda cache besides the coordinates indicated I was still 20 metres away. So I turned around headed little more into the olive trees . Something caught my eye at the base of a tree , oh what its it ? its a xxx how clever of you Sweetmanda now that's more your style of caches. It was a bit damp inside and dried it a little and logged my find. brilliant Sweetmanda TFTC
After some searching through the bushes we eventually found it. Found with The Booos, TFTC.
Find Number 6333
Booo Booo and Mr Booo searched and searched for the cache with the weather and the trees running interference with the GPS.
Mr Booo was just about ready to call it quits when he decided to check one last spot and found the cache.
Thanks Sweetmanda for placing the cache

A very unique container run through the wet long grass to it but great to see this sort of container
If you're having trouble finding it, join the club! Don't ball your eyes out, just keep searching in the rough. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC Sweetmanda
Another nicely constructed cache. Angry golfers destroy their clubs when they hit a fore. TFTC.
With the mercury expected to soar into the high 30's I made an early start of it as meandered around the burbs picking up a handful of caches along the way. Time restraints and the heat eventually forced me to call it a day about midday.
A well constructed cache that I had a fair idea what I'd be looking for, but eventually I didnt expected to find what I did.
Thanks

Back into weekend caching and there are lots of areas that have new caches or caches I haven't done yet. Today I picked Campbelltown and had a good go for a few hours.

Future searchers: if parking at the end of Gledswood Place, go around the bush not through. Much easier to head back in from the other side, it's cleaner and you won't upset the lizards.
After my first successful cache on a hot and quiet afternoon this one was the logical next step. My phone GPS settled relatively well just west of the cache and I spent a little while searching around. The cache itself would stand out a mile away, but a little bit of natural camo meant I had to get just the right angle. A very entertaining container.

I can confirm that despite being advised that only part of the cache was there by the last attendee, I can confirm that after visiting the site, all is in order as it should be. Nothing broken.
Down to Campbelltown area with Oldmorty and Missmorty on a day usually reserved only for crazy geocachers. Temperatures in single digits and moisture falling from the sky.
Made our way through the wet spider webs and bush to re-read the hint and narrow down the search. Bingo! Another well made cache from this CO and worthy of a FP for the difficulty in construction and imagination. TFTC!

OCW morty8888 & missmorty on a bitterly cold and wet day, chasing caches owned by Sweetmanda around the suburbs south of Campbelltown. We found all nine caches on our list in reasonably quick time and all caches were in good condition. Thanks Sweetmanda for a fun time hunting down your caches particularly this one where a lot of time has gone into its construction. FP awarded.
Found a way in, altho not the recommended. A short search and a find. Initially thought log was missing so took photo. Then I saw the log. nice assembly. Made way back out an easier was, know on to “where did that ball go”.? Nearby, tftc
So after returning home from work late tonight, I thought I’d check out this hide before I get another of those pesky emails. I’m sorry to have to say to those previous DNFs that unfortunately for you guys, the cache remains in its intended location. It is close to the base of a larger tree and it may not be what you’re expecting to see. The camo is themed and please, be gentle with it!
This cache was not what I expected based on the ratings. It featured some serious spider web and a wandering GPS. This lead to a lengthy search. Eventually I found the fun container with its lovely new logsheet.
It might pay to check the guidelines for the D/T as I would set it a star higher on the terrain. See what you think.

Another day for calendar finds - only got 13! So headed down to the Ambarvale / Glen Alpine area looking to push the count into the 20s.
Two DNFs meant I only just got there, before it was time to head home (note to self, need petrol).
One of the finds was an interesting walk to a great view - that's always welcome.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
And we're off and running. After starting with a DNF managed to find this one - but S-O M-A-N-Y C-O-B-W-E-B-S!
Initially went past it, but didn't take as long as it could have to make the find.
Nicely made.
Completed signing duties and replaced.
Onwards!

Cache has been very slightly modified to keep things in order, so please take note of everything before attempting to sign the log. Please don’t force or pull anything, there is no need. All PF’s have been entered on to what I hope this time is actually proper RIR log sheet! I was told the previous log sheet was just that, but I’ve obviously been conned. Happy Caching!
Log too wet to write on. Did take photo but don’t want to spoil the neat cache. Beware spiders and mozzies are in abundance. TFTC! Very fun!
The log is soaked, it needs replacing with some waterproof paper. Otherwise a great cache, thanks.
Another nice construction. After the 40mm of rain overnight, the logsheet was quite damp and only just signable. Thanks again, Sweetmanda
An awesome nighttime raid in the rain with Ad0nis. This one was very funny by this time it was pitch black and the rain had set in. Both our GPS were struggling and we were wandering around in circles, bashing our way through the bushes whilst trying to use our torches to help us see where we were going and avoid the giant killer spiders* that were everywhere. At one point I said to Ad0nis "you know if we were here in the day this would likely be an insta-find!'" I'm glad this one doesn't back onto your backyard Sweetmanda! You'd have enjoyed watching us Eventually we managed to stumble our way over to the correct spot and find a very cool, very well constructed cache! Well done, this is tee-ing up to be a very fun little series! Tftc!
*Not actually killer spiders, but still huge!

Caching in the rain on a Friday night with Meritonnn. Theme for the evening spiders TFTC
Seeing a bunch of caches pop up today, I had to wait for work to finish before I could go and try them out. Loving the idea and descriptions, so I had to make my way over to this one. I parked the geomobile on the main road which was reasonably close by, but still got very wet on my way through some bushes. Coords are spot on and it was a quick find. I found a log with only 1 other name on it so a 2tf for me. Loving this cache, it is great, I’ve never seen anything like this before and laughed so hard. Have a well deserved FP! TFTC Sweetmanda!
[FTC} To get this I needed to charge through the wet undergrowth and it took some time and drive to get the correct location. I checked several times but spotted the suspicious looking item where I had searched before.
Thanks Sweetmanda for a nice adventure this arvo.
