I'm teaching on a course at the Ridges hotel. Have a little break? Just stretching my legs very happy to see theres a few lical caches to grab.Very accurate coords lead to a quick cache in handThanks for maintaining the cache
Find #: 3,768Companions: NoneMuggles: NoneWeather: Grey spring morningCache condition: GoodAfter running the Parramatta parkrun I still had some energy, so decided to go for a second jog around the nearby University campus (including the adventure lab) and then a loop along the river. I approached GZ and made a quick find in the likely spot - TNLNSL TFTC
Not too many issues with this one in the darkness. Was on taxi duties for a concert and this was part of my little caching run. TFTC!
Decided to take a detour between work and the train station and pop by the tramway. Fortunately, I did not get bailed up by police this time like last Wednesday when they busted me on Church Street. Today, GZ was completely muggle free but did see a tram pass by. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
Got to GZ and lots of possibilities to hide a cache. Looked at one spot and nothing then moved along, no nothing. Went back to original spot and looked at it from a different angle and spotted the cache
In Parramatta for work again and woke up stupidly early so plenty of time to go for a walk before heading into the office. Had the choice of heading back to the cemetery in the hope of finding one I looked gif last night or over to Tramway Avenue to collect a few more. In the end the numbers one. First actually tried to ride a tram (plenty going through and I thought not busy as so early) but as I jumped on told not open to the public yet. Oops / at least made each of the locations very quiet. But seems a waste of money running dozens of empty trams all day!A short walk to this one and a quick find though I did over think it and not go for the most obvious spot. Could be busy here in the future so glad to get on a quiet morning.TFTC gavingo4
I was in the Parramatta area, while C8 wanted to check out Westfields. That's an excuse to go caching. With the Cosmic souvenirs up for grabs, these few around here were just the recipe.It was chilly out there today, but I enjoyed the walk from cache to cache. On approach, I guessed where it could be, but had CIH from the second one. Sat down nearby to do the legals, then replaced and went on my way to the next one. TFTC
I am not sure how I missed this one being published and only found it when I looked at the nearby Really SideTracked cache. Found a good parking spot almost next to the cache and then a likely hiding spot which turned out toe be spot on. Even saw a light rail carriage on test which is apparently pretty common. Thanks gaving04 and have a favourite from me.
A quick stop on my way to an event being hosted by this CO, and a very straightforward find. A train, sorry tram, came by too while I was there.Thanks for the hide gavingo4.
Fascinating to see this new piece of infrastructure. They were doing testing tonight which was great to experience.SL TFTC
After living in a surrounding building during the whole construction period. Its nice to see the space open. TFTC
Up at Rosehill for Uni graduation, we had time to duck over to the Parramatta light rail.Found after a short search.TFTC
Out for a few caches today with ilook4geo. Very dull day, but no rain to hinder our search. Found this one OK in a popular hide and signed the log, then it was back to the car. Thanks for this cache go to gavingo4.
Walked along near the line with goingplaces2 to get to GZ, where a very quick find was made. TFTC.
Find#317 @12.38pm. Noticed previous finder didnt sign log book. SLRC as found. TFTC.
$14054 14:40Another quick find along the Parramatta Light Rail line. TFTC gaving04
At first I was convinced that I wasn't going to be able to reach into the obvious spot, in the end I did and there it was, thanks
Nice find, thanks gavingo4. Enjoying a short break with my geohusband SurdiVisio who already found this.
Looked both ways when crossing the rails, but no trains in sight.Cache was quickly found in a suspected location.
Walked to this one after finding sidetracked nearby. Always wondered where the bridge over JRD went to. Now I see it. Easy find and all dry inside. TFTC
A quick find while eating my yummy lunch (obtained at the nearby food van) at the yet unopened tramstop. TFTC Gavingo4
Turned out to be a nice day to be along the Parramatta River!I parked the geomobile on the north side of the river and walked across the new Alfred Street Bridge and then down past the station to GZ. They were doing some kind of testing there so I was hoping one of the trams would come along but I was told, no trams today. Now that was a bit disappointing.At GZ not only did I find the cache but another way to access the location. They've done a good job landscaping around this area. With the hundreds of new units nearby this will be a very busy place soon, I hope.TFTC # 5853
A very quick find while passing through to a small job at Wentworth Point. This light rail should be good once its running
7 March 2024This is find number: 9338Streak Day: 3003Found Today with Snoopy1976, a quick and easy find. ThanksThanks to gavingo4 for placing and maintaining this cache. TFTC
Streak Day #3892 - Over this way with Dave8153 for our cache of the day. Quick find for us today. TFTC
#10291Headed out for one today, so picked this recent placement close to home.Once at GZ i found the app was all over the place and a cursory check of GZ missed it. Took a bit before I returned and checked properly. Obvious really.Added my ink to the log, replaced and then had a wander around the new tram station.SLTNLN TFTC
2TF on a very warm day. A nice easy find with no muggles around. Thanks. #1758
