Came to check on the cache only to find it missing! Sad to see, but we will get it back up soon.

No luck on this one, Tried pulling all of them off, but could mould find any tool

Could not*

On my way home from a friend's house I took a wrong turn and ended up near the hospital. I decided to pull over to figure out the best way home and while the gps was loading I thought I'd check if there were any caches nearby. To my surprise I was parked about 20m from this cache.

Despite the darkness and no lights in this area, I decided to try my luck. Torch in hand I proceeded to ground zero. Surprisingly it was a quick find. Loved the camo, if you weren't looking for something you wouldn't know it was not supposed to be there.

Cache in great condition. Log signed and replaced.

Awesome hide! TFTC

Took a bit but found it

With this being near the hospital I was worried about finding free parking not too far from GZ so I left the geomobile on the western side of the park and walked across.
Now that's a really nice park, such a good idea near the hospital.

I walked around to the cache and checking the clue spotted something worth investigating.
I sat in the shade on the path, probably an odd thing to do but no one seemed to take any notice.
Well I could see the log but how do I get to it?
Of course I'd left my geobag in the car so had no TOTTs with me. I was just about to walk back to get something when I realised I had what I needed in my hand after all.
Well that's very clever!
Worth a favourite point.

With the log signed and everything back in place I put the cache where I found it, which seemed like it could get wet but that's where I found it so that's where it goes.

Awesome camo

With the sun warming up and some time afforded to head to this area with Oldmorty, caching was the order of the day. With the hospital next door it didnt seem too odd to be hanging around here. Oldmorty did the duties on a familiar container. Nice one and RIP Shirley. TFTC!

Time for a catch up with morty8888 for some exercise while searching for some little boxes. No little box here, but a cleverly constructed bold hide.
Thanks for placing this cache SabAndZac. RIP Shirley

Nice little hide. Well done tftc

Nice quick find, not to many people around. TFTC

Really nice construction on this cache, thanks for the effort

My favourite cache so far!

Clever!

I really liked this one and it was very crafty. TFTC

Back logging. Found this cheeky one with the young 2 geo kids before an appointment. TFTC

Log is all dry and cache is back! Happy hunting

Just a bit of maintenance! We have to dry the log out…

Fantastic cache with a wonderful story!

A great day of caching in and around Campbelltown and George river. Caches along the river reserve were great, struggled with the town caches as usual in Campbelltown. Glad all was provided

Thanks. Very clever. Loved my first geocache!

Tftc we itthe cache is a bit moist with the rain but we did a bit of cache maintenance (DRYING)

A very nicely constructed cache complete with TOT. We went to nearby table to open and sign. Unfortunately due to the rain, and maybe local flooding the cache was full of water. Drained out but log book was completely soaked, and we were unable to sign. I did take a photo if required. Very well done for a first hide, thanks.

Sydney Road Trip
I am taking a drive to Sydney for a couple of days to visit my daughter. Cool cache. Love the way you have deployed this. Thanks for putting out this cache SabAndZac

A nice bit of camo. TFTC

Nailed this quickly, then bolted. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC SabAndZac

My second cache on a soaking Twosday afternoon outing. I had to park a bit far away but that's perfectly normal around here. I haven't been in the park for a long while and in the past always visited with friends so it was nice to remember those times as I walked to the cache.

When I arrived I almost couldn't believe it - this cache is another really clever variation on the same idea as my previous find today! I would have been happy with either find but to get both within 15 minutes of each other was fantastic. A cache with a lovely story and a lovely container makes me hope we'll see some more SabandZac caches in the near future.

Full disclosure: the provided TOTT is terrific but I didn't notice it until I'd made use of the one I always carry. I saw but I did not observe.

There was a nicotine addicted muggle sitting right a GZ, I waited her out and soon had cih. Thanks, great camo.

Great hide very clever. No muggles around this late in the day. All out celebrating NYE TFTC.
Happy New Year.

Tftc. Great hide in plain sight. Muggles were scarce and even got a car park right near GZ.

Love this slightly different take on a design I’ve seen before! Very inventive! Have a fave TFTC

Find number 5835

At first the co-ords took as away then it settled and pointed back a few meters and we immediately spotted the container. After opening we added our name to the log and replaced just as the rain settled in.


Thanks SabAndZac for placing this cache.

As I was in area after visiting dentist decided to check this one out . What a fantastic hide , excellent. As I had no TOT or pen I couldn’t manually log . Very interesting story , TFTC . I returned the following day (7/12/21)to log and realised there was NO need of TOT. Once again SabAndZac a great hide and even better story about Shirley , she was a remarkable person . This cache deserves FP. Well done SabAndZac

A very nice cache. We were impressed. Deserves a FP. TFTC SabAndZac

Over here for an MRI and thought we’d take a go at this one. Nice and quick with nobody around to see. Signed G, K, M & P. TFTC

By the way, beautiful butterfly and photo of Shirley, have a FP

Naturally I found the required tool after I signed the logbook!?!

Nice cache.

#8338 (4 of 7 today)

Head to the Campbelltown LGA today for more calendar finds. Was after five, but ended up grabbing seven. Bargain.
Started with some *Park & Grabs*, but I was specifically targeting two older caches that I've eyed for quite a while. And a nice walk they were too.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Still hitting the P&Gs, and this one has turned up close to a previous DNF - mercifully archived.

This is a much better hide. Even though there were muggles nearby it didn't interfere much as I quickly spotted the hide - not correctly reassembled by a previous finder.

Made the grab and took away to complete signing duties after using the provided tool to access the log.

Completed signing duties, reassembled correctly and replaced before heading back to *The Hademobile*.

Found this one whilst the geowife was in the doctors, the clues and gps led me straight to ground zero, a coat of paint would make the search more interesting , take a screw driver with you . TFTH.

Found with Dragons 2010. Dragons did the directional find and i found the loot. Good hide. First one that i can think of that i had to have a toolkit to open. Good one for your first attempt. TFTC

After a visit to a Dr nearby, tried this one with Gotcha16. Having read the previous log brought along a TOTT, which wasn’t needed but another one was. So a short walk back to car with the cache, then a find. Returned to where found, tftc

Bit late logging this, but after work on Monday I thought I would take an evening stroll through Park Central and try and grab this at the same time. Approaching GZ, I was pleased to see the area deserted as this place can be quite busy at times. As I walked in the direction my GPS wanted me, I could see something suspect and sure enough it was the cache. Taking it to the nearby table to extract the log and sign, I was thinking I may need to use something in my geo-kit but soon realised this wasn't necessary. Well done, this is an excellent first cache! I also enjoyed your picture of Shirley, judging by the picture and your description she sure does look like she was a great lady and this is a nice way to honour her. TFTC! FP awarded for your great effort in cache construction.

Nice find early this morning. TFTC.

I don’t go for FTF, have only found a few in my time, but this one arrived in my inbox 30 minutes before leaving work, and was on the way home. With the rain, well, I had to at least give it a go. Drove up to a very handy spot and made my way down. I have to admit, I’ve had my eye on this area for a little while since the others vanished. Made my way down to the GZ, and spotted something rather familiar to me! But I can most certainly confirm that on a normal day, you may need to be Houdini to grab this one unnoticed! Very good piece of work, and now that you’ve set a standard on your first hide, we’ll all have great expectations for your subsequent ones! It was very touching to read of your mother, it looks like she may well have loved a laugh along the way!
