Nice spot, a cute little spinderTftc

Lot of searching, but found itTFTC

Thanks

Cache in good order due to the vigilant guard. TFTC

Creative find, gave the kids a scare. TFTC.

Didnt quite understood the assignment until I spied the araneae in which scared the daylights out of me.

Really fun

Fun and easy find for beginner cachers.

Brought my partner SurdiVisio to reach beyond that incy wincy creature. I didnt want and I am not tall enough. Signed log, thanks

Great hide. Quite a surprise!

Found the cache, however I didnt write due to . Ha ha (I don't like them)!

A quick midweek caching day. Only a few of those each year, so better make the most of it by driving all the way to Penrith and the lower blue mountains.TFTC Wilbert67

#7766A wet week at home, and still a wet weekend in the Blue Mountains to come by the looks, we need to at least get out and do some caches! Decided to head down to this area and nab some of the newer unfounds nearby, mainly targetting D/T 3s and oldies, and whatever else nearby! end of copy paste Nice quick find, and themed container. TNLN SLThanks for placing and maintaining this cache pandsa

#7766The weather has given us a break, so were back to boots on the tracks rather than tyres on the road, still chipping away at some challenges and other goals as we go. It was generally cool, a few light showers didn't really slow us down a lot, bunches of leeches in spots! We went from multi to multi today, looking for old caches and "3's" as we went.That would be it! No arachnophobia here, but I was still a little careful.....Thanks for the cache!

Cheeky placement easy find

Cheeky lil find

cool little cache thanks

I agree with Andy

Wonderful little spot

Something here made me jump before making the find,very sneakyThanks for the cache

Love this one! TFTC

Danke

Cool Gimmick!

We found it! Such a good one!

My spidey senses were tingling. Moo moo

Tackling these 4 discovery caches in this unvisited (by me) Deanei Reserve at Springwood. First one here, log roll was full - now replaced by a plain paper roll. Lovely discovery amongst Mountain Bluegums.With TBs Canadian Flag, Dosenjger, Piglet Travel and G.N.I.A Travel Tag in tow.

Parked as well as we could at the middle of the cul-de-sac. Walked down to where the GPS pointed us and started searching, but no luck. Expanded the search to the other structure that fit the clue, and then soon found the cache, about 5 metres off the given coordinates.Signed the log in the last available spot, the log is now full and would need a replacement.

The hardest part here was returning the creepy crawly back, it may need a check, thanks.

Clever cache, tftc

A quick stop on our way into the Mountains for our Wedding Anniversary.

Cheers

Had fun with my daughter!!

Tftc kinda funny

TFTC kind of creepy

There are plenty of caches to be found in the mountains but we just selected a few to find with goingplaces2. Found it without much bother and replaced all as found before leaving. TFTC.

While enjoying a Blue Mountains drive and some great scenery with ilook4geo we visited this cache. Both names were stamped on the log and it was replaced as found. No fear felt here as it was quickly extracted. Thanks go to pandsa for this cache placement.

Love the construction of these caches and always a beautiful spot to go walking. TFTC

A quick hairy find, thanks

The furry ones are friendly!

Caught us off guard. On the hunt with swamp_skink! TFTC!

Out geocaching for the day with Lurliners I at first thought from the description it would be closer but soon realsed where it must be. Great cache Favourite Point.

What a way to put fear into one's psyche. Then came how to retrieve it. After gathering a pen from the car it became the perfect tool. TFTC.

The clue didn’t help at all

??

Ha! Thanks

OCW frazeydaze. We stopped here at this nice remnant piece of forest on our way to Blackheath for the weekend. Frazeydaze who is not a fan of creepy crawiles threw caution to the wind and went for the grab.

TFTC pandsa

Caching with oldmorty on a weekend away.
Definitely suffer from arachnophobia, so took a lot to retrieve the cache.
Needed a TOTT to extract the log.
TFTC pandas

Took a bit of searching but something jumped out at us and soon had CIH TFTC

Sneaky little hide. Tftc

??

Very cheeky. Help out Skyejam and Savabo while we were here. TFTC

Thanks to other cacher with kids that they found it while we were in the car oh dear about something you will get surprised TFTH

Very lucky, one of cacher with the kids arrived while we logged dnf. He found the excellent cache and let us signed the log. Thanks for leading us here

Lucky I’m not scared of spiders! Great hint.

We are on another short (four day) caching holiday in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, staying for three nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains. Planning to collect some of the solved GFA puzzle caches around Luddenham and Wallacia, then visiting the Blue Mountains from Springwood to Wentworth Falls (over two days) for numerous Adventure Labs and other targeted caches.

Today (day 3) we completed two Adventure Labs that had their various stages scattered around Springwood and Winmalee, and also collected numerous caches of various types (Traditional, Multi, Mystery/Puzzle, and Virtual) that we passed along the way. Also visited an old "2 Dogs" Traditional cache from 2001 that we needed for an "old school" challenge cache. This was our 12th find of the day (day 3), and 58th find of the holiday.

This one took us a while to find, and it was the family's chief puzzle solver who eventually spotted the hide and had CIH (her eyes are better than mine TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC pandsa.

Find #5327

Tftc, great hide

OCW [@Hiker_Barbie11](http://coord.info/PR14DFRX) and [@0sprey](http://coord.info/PR8VJR2). TFTC!

The GPS was a little jumpy at first and so it took a little while to find. The hint made sense once we had CIH. TFTC!

Took a little bit of searching but after reading some logs @hiker_barbie11 spied it. TFTC!

Spider almost scared us away but great cash tftc!

Couldn't see it??

Headed up the mountains today as the calendar gods are twitchy, and the rain gods are flooding everything near home.
Checking the BOM Radar, I hoped the mountains might be dryer - didn't quite work out, but could have been worse.

Found ten - as well as five Adventure Lab locations - but one DNF and a "looked from a dryer spot but saw nothing" kept me from having a perfect day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Started here under a light sprinkle.
The iPhone prevaricated, so was unsure of my spot. But the search I did as the rain increased didn't turn it up. Expect it's still there, though.

Will need to return on a dryer day.

TFTC.

Got it.

Parked close by. Quick find. Cache all good. Signed and replaced. Tftc

Fount it

Love it!!

#6,059

After starting with #4 we followed the track across to the other entrance to the reserve and found this one. There were many spots this one could have been hiding, and I chose the wrong side first. Bikerbuddy spotted it on the other side and pointed it out.

Namaste

#6109- Our early with thomo31 after the wild storm last night. Awoke to an overcast morning. This was our first stop. A quick find once at GZ. Thanks

Found with WaywardWoman while caching early local today. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Yuck spiders but good fun. Team Gough strikes againTftc

easy find

Tftc. Good one

Nicely placed in a dark arachnid-location. TFTC pandsa

Took a while to spot this one, my son and I both enjoyed this one TFTC

This was just waiting for me and saying hello. Forest walk was enjoyable. TYFTC

Sad

Quite an easy find in an area we have explored only recently, but were pleased to grab some new caches in the forest and further exploring places we had not visited before. Living in such a large LGA gives us plenty of scope for walking in this wonderful area during these covid times. Cache is in good condition. Signed and replaced. Thanks Pandsa for placing the cache.

With lockdown over, I made a trip up the M4 to The Bluies to meet up with with TC and EH. We made our way around this nice piece of bushland grabbing the new trads, a multi and a puzzle.

While checking out one feature near GZ, along came zz_11 and geoTravels who joined us in the hunt and the remaining caches in this bushland. With EH acting as my TOTT, it was found once we chose the correct option to read. TFTC

Found OCW Brewmaker and Team Canary. Also met Geotravels and zz_11. TFTC

Cool cache. Found with some fellow caches. Thanks for the cache. Good to see new ones!!

Found with EverestHigh, Brewmaker, zz_11 and GeoTravels. Once we went back to the right place.

TFTC.

Found with some new friends.
Always great to rock up to look for a cache and see people looking around.
Thanks so much.

Ohh that’s funny!! Tftc

Found it . TFTC

Tftc - easy find tan here thinking it was FTF but wasn’t
