Had a good poke around for 20 minutes, but no luck at any of the obvious places. Widened the search a bit and still couldn’t find it. Having found a few in the series, I think I know what I’m looking for but I wonder if it might have gone.

We are attending a birthday party up this way , given us an opportunity to grab some caches as well. TFTC

Found it but logbook is wet and was ripping as i was trying to unroll it

Log very wet and like last founder hard to unravel

Wet log needs replacement

DNF rectified with a surprisingly quick find today TFTC

Tftc found with rubymoon

Collecting a few more “Suburbs” smileys while in the area on a caching run with SF. Even with SF’s knowledge of the area, new construction and fenced off roads, our approach ended up taking several unplanned turns. Finally at GZ, even the arrow didn’t agree with where the cache was eventually found. Log very damp but did our best to dry and sign.

Found it - log to follow

Found

Didn't sign as log was too wet. TYFC

Fun

Was a grate game

Couldn’t find

Couldn’t find
The map said it was past the fence

Second geocache of the day! Tricky hiding spot. TFTC!

Thanks

Couldn't sign log as it was really wet good hide

Found It!
This one took me a lot longer to find than it should have. And then when I finally did find it, the log book was very wet. Dried it out a little and left my mark.

No luck with this 1

We used our looking eyes this times. Our gps was out a fair bit . At least have now found!! TFTC!! Thanks for checking on this cache and maintaining. We have been enjoying this series!

On our way home and stopped off to grab this cache as the rain continue. Thankfully a quick find...thanks to accurate coordinates. With the cache in hand we signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache ws_cachers.

The following TBs came through for the mileage : Vanlith The Youngling, Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), teamMerlin's Football, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Hidden Creatures Geocoin TB, Merlin's Steed, GEOCACHING WITH JORDYS GREEN LOGO, Geocaching - All In One Geocoin 2009 Geocoin, CITO Tag Geocoin, Schneemann, Premium Micro Geocoin, Scrooge "Mac" Duck, The Bison Tube from AUS, teamMerlin's GIFF 2018 Geocoin Companion Tag, Bigfoot 51, Purple

Coordinates were extremely accurate which helped me find this tricky little one. TFTC

Another Suburb ticked - #3. Made a quick find late at night although this was a bit tricky.
Fascinating the degree of development that has occurred in this suburb.

Tftc! Needs some maintenance with a dollop of glue for the magnet

Parked close by. Good co ords. Signed and replaced. Tftc

5th of 11 for the night & surprised at how quick I found it trusting the coords. What a great way to rack up 2hrs of night learner driving, thought I’d post it here, thanks ws_cachers

Have just checked and cache is still in place

Will check in the next couple of days

our christmas eve night time escapade
DNF tonight but found another spider
with Geomonster10 and the gang

Found a lot of these series but it just wasn’t here we broaden our search but still couldn’t find.

Don’t think it is here may need to check.

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Emu Plains for a short four day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains, and are planning to explore around Emu Plains and the areas between Castlereagh and Warragamba. Will be concentrating our efforts on collecting the Penrith geoart caches and the Warragamba geoart caches, most of which we have managed to solve before leaving home, and also hoping to complete a new local Adventure Lab that has appeared since our last visit to the area. May also collect some solved “Band Caches” puzzle caches, and “Suburbs of Penrith LGA” traditional caches, that we happen upon during our travels. This was our 21st find of the day (day 4), and 92nd find of the holiday.

This LGA traditional cache was next on our list, parking close to the cache at the end of the street, and then strolling over to GZ for a nice quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC ws_cachers.

Find #4948

This one took us a few minutes to find, despite the good coords. Just happened to miss it on the first run. TFTC ws-cachers

Well snaking my way west this was my second stop. Nice looking houses in the area with everything so new and pristene.

That was not what I was expecting!
On google maps this area is all paddocks and it looked like the cache might be on a tree with a bit of a walk to access it. On driving along I found a shopping centre. Surprise surprise!

I parked the geomobile in the street and walked towards GZ and made an assumption of where the cache was going to be hiding. The GPS however suggested somewhere different so I checked there and quickly found the cache.
What a pleasant area - it's so quiet here!

TFTC # 4598

A tour of some of the suburbs of Penrith along with ilook4geo seemed like a good activity on a very grey afternoon. Headed off and tackled some of the series in the limited time available. There was no problem in locating our targets and each log had both lots of initials added to mark our visit. Thank you for this series goes to ws_cachers.

Had the afternoon free so went out to pick up a few caches with goingplaces2. This one was found OK and signed. TFTC.

24 November 2021
This is find number: 5572

Thanks to ws_cachers for placing and maintaining this cache.

Streak Day #3058 - Stopped by with Dave8153 for a quick find on the way home. TFTC

We stayed in Penrith last night after attending our god-daughter's birthday bash, so that gave me the opportunity this morning to run around Penrith this morning collecting the next batch of its suburbs before we head back home to the Central Coast.

No shopping centre here the last time I was in this part of the world! Quite busy first thing in the morning but a quick find all the same Thanks for the hide and for the series ws_cachers.

Took a minute or so to let the phone GPS settle. Easy find, beat the rain

Standing right beside this one and didn't see it. Thankfully TW was there to rescue me!

Another shopping centre has sprouted! A touch harder to find than most of them, but got it eventually. TFTC

#8268 (5 of 5 today - including 2 Adventure Labs)

I rarely cache in the same area two days in a row - caching butterfly me - but as I was getting ready for the day's adventure some new caches were published. Aah, the question of whether to go for it!

Too good to pass up, really, but while en route one was logged, so it may end up a fool's errand. Fortunately the cache I went for first was indeed unfound, but the third was found at almost the same time as mine. Well, I got one of them!

More new caches and finishing off an AL completed my day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Before heading here I finished off an Adventure Lab I'd started a while ago at St Mary's. Two very familiar spots were visited, and the locations logged. Just glad they were within easy walking distance of each other. I found:
#8266 Bennetts Wagons
#8267 Victoria Park Memorial
###END OF ADVENTURE LAB SECTION###
Hit the car park - good I need a supermarket - and made quick work of the hunt. Inked my place in the log, put it back and headed for a few necessities before the trip home.

Another tour of your LGA. I’m glad you got to explore yours like I did mine in the Blue Mountains.

As a health care worker, thanks to all those who helped get the numbers down by staying in their LGA except for leaving for essential reasons. It made a big difference to the hospitalisation rate.

TFTC.

A somewhat tainted name nowadays owing to COVID 19. My phone wanted me over the fence, sanity prevailed and I found it in an obvious low down spot, thanks.

Relatively quick find, good spot!

Have repaired container

All good to go again

A nice quick find after correcting a nearby DNF

Joint FTF with WaywardWoman at 2pm

We had just logged the South Penrith cache, and were buying KFC for lunch, when this came in to my inbox. Headed to Caddens. Phone GPS a bit jumpy so searched up and down and WW eventually found it on the ground. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

#6021- Woo Hoo! We thought we had finished for the day, but……
Another joint FTF with thomo31 at 2pm.A rare occurrence indeed!
We had just got FTF at South Penrith and were about to treat ourselves to lunch, when this came up. Found pretty quickly, but magnet is missing. Our last of 15 caches for the day. We’re right back into it again and how we have missed the fun! Thanks

As per previous log. Container damaged. Will need to repair
