That was a a really cool one.Coordinates send me to the middle of the road but obviously its not.
TFTCFind #38One week ago.... Thor didn't find it and was unhappyToday..... Thor has found it and he said it was quite cleverThor was trying too hard last time
DNFThor didn't have luckHe thinks it's missing because he looked everywhere around the spot where the coordinates were placed
Find #29Another quick drop by today. No muggles and pleasant if cold weather. I do have to say, out of my not-so-impressive 28 caches this is the coolest container Ive found (if you can even call it that). TFTC- 3:00pm
OCW frazeydaze around Castle Hill today. A quick park and grab. TFTC sterocacher1
Out with oldmorty caching in the Castle Hill / Glenhaven area.Quick park and grab for this one.Thanks to stereocacher1 for the cache.
Ooh - this one was a fun one. Our eyes scanned over it a few times before we realised. Brilliant hide! TFTC
Found It!Another quick find here. I've found a few of this style of hide before.TFTC
Thank you!, didnt know if there was a prize? If not the magnet still looks cool (I didnt keep it )
Thought we would stay in our local area today with iloo4geo and tidy up some solved puzzles as well as pick up a selection of traditional caches. This one was in good order and was quickly spotted. Log was signed with both names and we only just managed to squeeze our initials in and all was replaced as found. Thank you to stereocacher1 for this cache placement. The log here is full and needs to be replaced please.
Made a joint find here with goingplaces2 and am happy to add some more smiley faces on the map fairly close to home. Cache was found, log was signed, all was replaced. Job done! TFTC.
We were trying to look for heritage park geos but decided to stray a bit onto this main road. Took us about 3-4 minutes to find and we ended up looking straight at it a few times. Really fun find, the log is full but we just flipped over the piece of paper and wrote on the back. Thanks for the fun find!
We are on a short (three day) caching holiday in and around Camden, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Poplar Tourist Park in Elderslie. Hoping to collect some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some Adventure Labs, and find as many different cache icon types as we can to go towards this month’s "Wheel of Challenges" souvenir chase. The homeward journey will be via Galston, where we have pre-booked tickets for the Sunday running of the Hornsby Model Engineers Galston Valley Model Railway. Photos will be uploaded to some (most) logs on our return to home base.
Today (day 3) we were on our way back home, going via Galston for our booked session at the Galston Valley Model Railway, but we still managed to find some caches along the way. Stopped off at Narellan for a few Traditional caches before hopping onto the M7 Motorway, then collected some "park & grab" caches along Gilbert Road at Castle Hill before arriving at the Model Railway at Galston. After a fun few hours of watching & riding model trains we stopped for one last previously solved Mystery/Puzzle cache at Galston, before heading for home via Galston Gorge. This was the 9th of 10 finds for the day (day 3), and 57th find of the holiday.
This was the next cache on our target list that we came to, parking the geomobile on the side of the road and ducking over to GZ for a nice quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Now it's time for us to head to the Model Railway at Galston. TFTC stereocacher1.

Found this one as we were passing by. Trying to maintain a streak to see if we can get a souvenir this month.... just a personal challenge. Thanks stereocacher1.
Having effectively completed a caching streak last month it looks like another four weeks are required to complete this month's souvenir challenge. With that in mind, we ventured out in the rain to find a cache and decided to make a strat on this little series. With the cache in hand we signed the log and returned as found. Thanks for the cache stereocacher1.

Found. Good, first today Logged D + L TFTC Darwould & Plus Elle from Calgary, Alberta Canada
Park and grab this time. I found it on the ground. It is flat and its shape does not conform to the place it sits, so i guess it can easily come down. TFTC.
TFTC and a nice find on my way to an event on Monday in Galston. The parking was great along Gilbert Road which made it easier to park and get the cache. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley.
Find #: 3,111
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Hot morning
Cache condition: Good
After a jog nearby I decided to find some caches (even though what I really needed was a cold swim), and this was close. I parked nearby, but then got confused by which side of the road to look based on previous logs; I should have just trusted my phone's GPS. Once I figured out where I was supposed to be it was a quick find - TNLNSL TFTC

Drove past it originally and then popped a uturn to park, expecting it to be on the other side of the road. Crossed over and it was a quick find. Coords were a little off but their weren’t many structures to check. TFTC
I was assuming it was on the other side of the road, I was wrong. The camo is failing and will need some TLC, thanks.

Out on a maintenance run. This was the final of 5 finds for the afternoon. I initially was thinking it was on the other side of the road. There was really only one place it could be. Thanks for the geo-fun stereocacher1.

Out after three recent placements not too far from home.
The first two caches were not too difficult to find, but the third was a little more "fun".
However, successfully found all three. HUZZAH!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked on the other side of the road and made my way to GZ.
Quickly spotted it as part of it is starting to peel off.
Completed signing duties and replaced.

Found with WaywardWoman while caching in the area. A busy road, but room to park nearby. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
#6776- A quick find with thomo31 once the Gps settled. Our last of 15 before heading back to the mountains before the rain seemed ready to set in. Thanks
I pulled up and crossed the road. Searching uphill and downhill, the GPS had me 15m out from where I eventually found it. I found on the ground. It doesn't seem to want to stick a flat object to a curved surface. TFTC
I like a power trail/series of caches along a route so today I came out to Castle Hill for these new caches.
Parked in the shade opposite and waited for a break in the traffic to cross. While I waited I could only see one place where the hint would work so I went there first.
Definitely a P&G. I liked it!
Signed the log and with no traffic in sight I was quickly in the geomobile heading to #2.

Another great hide. The hint is very useful as the GPS points me to the middle of Gilbert Road
Now waiting for the missing #3 of the series ??

Got the smiley! Thought I looked there the other night, but mustn’t have been thorough - embarrassing search effort on my part. What matters is I now have the smile.
Tftc!
Tftc!
Met Alfyboy in the field, and was a quick find, thanks for the series so far, stereocacher
My GPS wanted me in the middle of the road. Eventually it chose the right side.
TFTC.

Co ords were a little out. About 10 metres. I haven’t seen this sort of hide in a while. Nice one. Did the legals and replaced as found.

Intrigued by the size attribute, but alas I was foiled tonight.
Must have missed something obvious. I had widened the search area to +-15m, but my patience was dropping. Gave up at midnight.
Will be back during daylight to have another crack!
