TFTC my first magnetic one easy to find but till quite fun! I do recommend for beginners
If theres an event over here, lets go geocaching nearby. Fourth of several finds today. Thanks njbowie for giving this cache for everyone to hunt.
Thanks for the cache kinda easy but I went for a fun walk after with my dad and I sharpened the pencil in the cache #28
What I found weirdest here is the door that seemingly goes.. in under the road!!TFTCI came out here for a little bit of exercise after a couple of weeks with a cold, and also to give my new car a run. Parked on Allambe Rd and went all the way to bexley north, had lunch and then jumped on a train back to Beverly Hills. A really good run for a couple of hours.
Had half an hour to kill while waiting for a pizza at Bexley North so came to this cache. At GZ it was a quick find. Signed logbook and went back to pick up my long awaited pizza.TFTC
No need to find a parking spot, just cycle along this fabulous bike path. Nice colour.
Using instinct to find side roads rather than access from the M5 as the satnav would suggest, had a short walk to spot on co-ords for a quick micro find that really stood out to match the one star difficulty.
That took far longer than it needed to with GPS coordinates and surprisingly effective camo!
Signed the log and replaced as found; TFTC!

Once again GPS led me around but looked a bit further and found. Like the different camo! tFTC
We have arrived in Sydney on a mission to find caches in LGA's we don't have.
We have been expertly advised and guided by Nana Nel in completing this task. Today we ticked off 5 and enjoyed the sights along the way.
Many thanks to all CO's for placing caches and helping us achieve our goals.

ANZAC cycle way closed so my dawn cycle nth ended up down to Kingsgrove instead. Picked up this one on route. Quick find, fun hide njbowie. #1928
After cycling from Riverwood to this end of the cycle path, I moved onto the path on the north side and started heading back. I really appreciate the placement of your caches njbowie. Thank you very much
Hardest part about this cache was just the parking and navigation in- easy find at GZ! TFTC!
Out and about again, left Queanbeyan very early this morning and headed to Sydney via Bateman Bay and along the coast. Not after big numbers of hides but after getting LGA numbers.
Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today
Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

Stopped off at Kingsgrove this morning, prior to starting my afternoon shift at the airport, for a small cluster of Traditional caches located in the area. Parked the geomobile in Karingal Street and followed the pedestrian pathway to three of the caches, then returned to the geomobile and drove to Flatrock Road for the last one. Was then heading towards work, but stopped off at Bardwell Valley Parklands for an older MultiCache (now functioning as a Traditional) for the final find of the day. This was the 4th of 5 finds for today.
Next cache stop was at this one, after relocating the geomobile to Flatrock Road, and it was a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced the nicely colour matched cache container as it was found. Colour is not quite as well matched as the previous two, but it's still a good camo effort. TFTC njbowie.

Found after collecting a puzzle, simple find in an obvious spot, thanks njbowie
After an uneventful night last night I decided to start the new year on an active note and do a park run followed by some first caching in this year, a couple of events and a bike ride. It will be almost impossible to beat last year's statistics, but you never know.

To finish of the year, the cuzzys (9 and 5) and I went on a scooter along the local bike path. Ended up doing 6kms from start to finish. Of course we grabbed geocaches along the way!
This was number 4, of 5 before it was time for dinner. I made a reasonably quick find, to the annoyance of Mr 9 and Mr 5. We signed it and headed on to the next one. TFTC

(3 of 3 today)
Man, is it hot today.
Was originally planning to go out in the afternoon, before attending the Big Bash game at the SCG tonight - Sixers won, and walk between these three caches. But after making the first find, and looking at the distance to the next one, decided to just drive in the cool, cool aircon!
No problem finding all three I attempted.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Sometimes Goggle Maps is less than useless. This cache was one of those. It wanted me on the M5, and even when it realised I wasn't travelling on it, suggested crazy routes. When I parked 100 metres or so from GZ it was still telling me I had a 6 minute drive, not a one minute walk. Yikes!
Just glad I remembered the area and access points from previous caches.
Walked to GZ, and second time in a row picked the right spot first time.
Added my ink to the log and replaced. time to head home so I can head back out again.
No muggles spotted near any of the caches today - they're clever enough to stay indoors out of the heat.

With some business south of the harbour this morning I looked for some caches to find afterwards. The 3 along the M5 Linear Park Walk looked promising.
Weaving my way here from the original stop was much harder and slower than I anticapted but once parked in a side street it was a short but noisy walk to GZ.
Using the D/T rating (particularly T) I couldn't spot anything. When I did find the cache I could only just reach it so it's definitely not a T1 which means someone in a wheelchair could reach it - absolutely not. Still after signing the log I replaced the cache where I found it because that's the rule.

Parked at the end of Flatrock Road, and followed the path to GZ, where the cache was soon located.
Accurate coordinates, obvious hide. Still took me longer than I’d like to brag about!?!

I spotted this one late last night. Its fairly close so i wanted to go for it but decided to take a detour first thing in the morning rather than scrambling around in the dark at midnight.
I parked on Flatrock and headed to the GZ. Circling around the site i approached from the wrong side but ended up making a quick find.
Thanks.
