Vale Of Ah Leash-Free Dog Walk East Hills, New South Wales, Australia

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Cache restocked after absence of owner.

Thanks fellow Geocachers for the logs. Suspect I've been muggled again. Will restock cache soon.

Looked for it for a long time, came up emty handed. Found the spot where it would have been with a few little trinkets. Looks like Owner isn't playing anymore !!!!

DNF with "The Neighbs". Muggled for sure. Found what we believe to be parts of the cache contents. CO needs to check.

Walked 400m from the outer carpark. I believe I found the tree (cracks and evidence of other searchers). I found a couple of those plastic squares with numbers on them from those games where you have one space and must move the numbers around to get them in order. Is this evidence of a muggling?

Me and my mates first Geocache, easy and looking forward to more!

Good find for the kids Thanks

Dropped in on this cache after the somewhat damp event nearby. The was a fare on at the other end of the oval, but the weather was driving the customers away when I arrived.
A nice walk to GZ and a quick (and dry) find.
Thanks, Robmc.

The approach to GZ was flooded in knee deep water but we persisted and made the find. Cache was still safe and dry.

Swam to GZ with Zepaniah3:17 took trackable will drop near mascot tomorrow

Woohoo! Some local maintenance! Found it not long after MrRyanMurray - stole his TBs, left a sheep (can't dogs and sheep all just get along?). Nice spot, don't park inside the gates approaching night :p cheers

Nice easy find now it's back online after the muggling. Nice tranquil area here. Sat in the sun and breeze for a while. Left I love New york TB and Travelling Zodiac TB. TFTC.

Cache replaced.

I'd been here a couple of years back but there were people camping near the cache location that day. Today I came back with disguise, bringing along my dog, Tally, to help with the search. Alas, like previous searchers, no luck. Still we ended up having fun at the nearby off lead dog park, well Tally did at least anyway.
best wishes,
Wal

With the specific hint found where cache should be, but no cache. Maintenance needed

Refer last log

Adding drop for Super Samuel - may his sheepish exterior survive any encounters with local dogs!

Travel bug update! Plenty of visits, only one drop off.

No luck. Night cachers.. don't get your car locked in here after sunset :p

Looked hard for quite a while but no luck, might be gone?

Cache updated today.

A little bit drizzly today so not a person in sight. Lovely playing field, newly marked out. Dropped TB, TFTC.

well hidden, walking back as the sprinklers go off and walk back to the car to see none other than flashing lights, i would like to thank the local Bankstown police department for accusing us of doing drugs and telling us we cant drive home in an unregistered vehicle, i would just like to let you know, we did anyway ;P, took coin, left sticker

A day out on the bicycle - hot and muggy! - so GZ was a good place for a rest. There were 1000's of junior muggles on the adjacent playing fields but this area was quiet.Took T/B. Cache in good condition. TFTC

Not a muggle in sight making this a very easy find. Nice spot, and left a TB.
Thanks,
The Hancock Clan

Came for a look but unable to get to GZ as there was a large party of people with tents set up, probably a New Years Eve party I'm guessing. Oh well, I'll come back another time and bring the geo dog out for the trip.
cheers,
Wal

Nice place to visit, beautiful playing fields, easy find.
Careful though the old tree is getting rather fragile.
TNLN

Very nice spot [(8)

Thanks for our second cache, forgot to bring a pen, so we left a dog magnet, entirely a coincidence but oddly appropriate. TFTC

Relogging my old finds.

Number 4 for today's caching adventure with Charleemonkey. SL TFTC.

Quickly hit this up, fourth cache for the day.. oh man.. this heat! Even short walks like this require plenty of hydration! Watch out for the ants when retriving the cache! There's a big nest of bull's. Had to be a little sneaky when retriving the cache as a local dirt bike rider was taking a break in the shade of the trees. SL TFTC!

What a beautiful spot- thanks for bringing us here
Pleanty of people exercising their doags.
TFTC

What a nice area for a stroll as long as you leave your vehicle on the right side of the open gate and the workmen don't lock the gate after they come in to start work on the club house. It was a nice stroll by the George's. TFTC.

very easy find on the way to work. cache needs to be a bit smaller , just my 2 cents, but i have camo'd it a bit better for safer keeping.
tnln,tftc.

I was just trying to do one cache today so I'd cached on 5th August. Easier said than done.

In the end this was the choice and thankfully was as easy as a nice quick stroll across the parkland and then a half-exposed cache. Too easy.

TNLNSL. TFTC!

Found on a drive home with sgt.rios88, a good hide hard to find with nearly no tourch light lol it seems someone swapped out my batteries while i was at work- 180 Lm High powered tourch with no power = no good lol TFTC TN LN

quick find on the way home after a long day at work then doing some caches was a quick one we had planned to do more but with failing torches we had to abandon caching after this one was a good hide tftc

Nice easy late afternoon find while the dog had a splash in the river!
TNLNSL

Lots of puddles around after the rains...kids had a ball. TFTC.

A quick walk over the cricket field got me to GZ.
TFTC Wilbert67

Thanks.

This was not hard to find, in fact I could see the cache before I reached the tree.
I have made it a little harder to see by covering it with leaves etc.
TNLN

Found this one today while in the area nice little spot a couple of boats and a jet ski on the water and no doggy doo doo to be seen.
Took TB LN SL TFTC

Took my muggle brother on his first cache. I let him go ahead a bit and he grabbed it. Not sure if he's a convert but we had fun Swapped TB's.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Further maintenance and dropped off the "Segezha, Russia" TB and my new one "Ted E Bear".

This cache has been re-stocked.

Another great find. Nice park area watch out for muggles and magpies. Took with me a geocoin. TFTC

My very first cache I found..... To many muggles and magpies.... TFTC

Nice quite day with no one around. Found cache easy shame about all the rubbish in the area.

left coin
TFTC

Geo wife sat this out to hot to far rule was in force yet again so went for a stroll soon found GZ lots of boat
muggles around cant blame them a great day to be on the river.I soon had cache in hand forget the spider
some stupid muggle had put a cigarette in there[:(!] not so nice if a geokid found it promptly disposed off it
The Geo pups would love the the leash free area..TFTC.......

7:20pm. Had to wait until the rabbit left GZ. Wasn't sure if it was a mugglebunny.
Touch footie was on but no one paid me any attention.
Nice place - hidden away.
Left dinosaur and took a green car.
TFTC

Nice quick find at 0925 on my way to umpiring baseball. Had to negotiate the muggle kids playing cricket, but they were more interested in the game than me.

Palmed the cache and took to the river bank to fill in the log and watched a little water skiing before replacing and heading off.

TFTC and TNLN.

There were a few muggles in the nearby areas on trail bikes, boats and water skiing but not to cause any concern for cachers.
Quick find after about a 200m walk today. I did end up dropping the cache due to a large black spider. With the spider sorted out caching duties completed and cache returned.
TFTC TNLN

found it at 2020 tftc tnln sl

Good to see some wide open spaces, heave dew starting to settle on every thing.
JABs.

We had a bit of a walk to this one as the gates were closed. Was good to stretch the legs.
Nicely tucked away out of sight.

TFTC

Found while in Sydney on a business trip.
This was a nice quick and easy find.

I parked in the space provided at the park and walked through the to the GZ. There was a few people playing with their dogs in the park but they took no notice of me. Being a week day the ovals were clear also.

GPSr was spot on for another one in the bag.

I am discovering more of Sydney on these short visits than in the years that I lived here.

TFTC.

Chip and I passed all of the sporting muggles nearby. Thankfully we aren't at that stage of life yet!

Was beaten to the cache as Chip was super keen.

Cheers

Found 16:50. Nice quick fine. Left measuring tape. Thanks.

Hoojar and I decided that we would head out this way on a weekend and weren't there some sport matches!! Actually when we were making our way to the cache we heard the umpire telling a father that if he can't control himself and shut up he would have to ask him to leave. quite amusing how there are parents that live vicariously through their poor children.

Found the cache without any problems. Ran the last bit so i could beat Hoojar and find my first cache of the day.

Cheers.

323 - 6 for today. Found on 31/05/2009 at 3:47 PM.
An easy find, was exposed too much, hidden it a bit better. TNSLLN

passing some trackables through

Got here just after 5pm and the gates were shut. So it was a little trek to GZ.

Took a little time to isolate the cache and extract it, but got there in the end.

TFTC TNLN

Great hide !

Muggle free .. No hassles finding the cache !

Another great park to take my geo.pups ! They even have an obstacle course ! Awesome ..

TN.Left Red Band !

TFTC !

I remember coming here one other time to do this cache, but for some reason we didn't go ahead with it - I think it may have been mid-winter on a wekend and the number of footballing muggles kinda scared us off!!
Today was very different - hardly a soul in sight & Mr Us took the stroll (well he was the only one of the team there) across the fields to the cache location. A quick find as a couple of water skiiers zoomed up and down not too far away.
No swaps, but the cache is about as full as it can get - well done.
TFTC
Cheers.

This cache has been restocked. (Geo_Gadget_Guy)

Found the Cache pretty quickly one I got to GZ. There was a group of water skiers camped nearby but fortunately they had their backs to the spot and I was able to locate the Cache, fill in the log and replace it without any problems. Very busy down there this morning, with boats going passed continually

A nice stroll across the cricket and touch fields to find the cache. Cheers Gav [2823]

Found this one with Moneydork, Tofska and Rediguana during our Australian caching holiday.

Team GPS.org.nz Cache Raid: A good walk to a nice spot. T4TC, M@

Quite a stroll to this one. TFTC

The first find of many for the day...my first find for Geocaching. Great location. Raining but no issue. Good location as a hiding place.

My first ever Cache!

I went with the BF (Oldridge) and my little brother... he spotted it for us.

What an exciting start to what could be a great hobby!

TN, LN.

Thanks for the hunt!

Found with Secretsquirrel-BJC.

One of 24 caches picked up on our day trip to Sydney.

A very easy walk across the fields to GZ and a quick find. Cache was a little exposed. Watched a rather noisy speed boat whiz by then back to the car.

1120+11=1131 with Captain Tomato

Thanks Geo Gadget Guy for showing me these lovely immaculate playing fields, nice park and lovely river. I really like these trees - they have a lot of character.

Made sure this one was better hidden.

WanderingAus wandered by on a damp day 115 of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find.

My find No 846, LCC, TNLNSL, grabbed Bruce the Bilby TB (ref = TB1961C), dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

Interesting name! A large flock of Cockies flew to the fence where we parked, but quickly lost interest when they realized we didn't have any food. There were many other birds, including Ibis and some cranky Masked Lapwings. TNLNSL. Thank you for sharing this nice reserve, and for the cache Geo Gadget Guy!

Dropped:

Bruce the Bilby

Nice easy cache. Some muggles with dogs (to be expected I guess!).

[nice easy find, would be muggle central on weekends. Also this area is prone to flooding, and the cache is at ground level. TNLN, TFTC.

Strange name for a place, and a strange time of year for a cricket match to be in progress. Luckily that was near the clubhouse and not near the cache where I was all alone. Found quickly, grabbed the TB. Thanks Geo_Gadget_Guy.

well, took a long walk to this one through all the fields and car parks. coords were off at least 15 feet, put us out in the open rather than where the hint says. left tb tftc dictaham and clan

I'm with Maccamob - curious about the name!
I will have to look up my local history books and see if I can find out. Another great part of the Georges River.
TFTC - Geo-wife found this for us on a caching afternoon.
Geo-son took car, left a star wars lenticular pin.

Found by Mary & David at 1205. Delighted to see another stretch of this interesting river system. Thought there might have been a sign to explain the name 'Vale of Ah', but we didn't spot one. TNLN. Our thanks again to Geo Gadget Guy.

Found @ 1240 Quick Find While on the Phone TNLN

Quick find in nicely kept grounds. TNLNSL. TFTC.

We found it when start to rain, nice cache, and please
leave the container well hidden because was not.
I change the 50 cts. coin.

This was the first cache my son and I did together, I have been caching for a couple of months now and I'll probably have to buy him his own GPS now.....another convert.

5 of 5 for my first day geo-caching!
TNLNSL

Thanks!

We have been meaning to get out and kick-start our new-found past time for ages. Signed up the in-laws in the process!

Great cache, good hide, well described (don't feel like such a novice with the GPS now)

1st of 5 for the day

First find for us! With team Jody and Kara.

Nice quick find in compnay with Ortaga. Great little spot for a swim.

TNLNSL TFTC

Found at 1125. After making the walk across the playing fields, I came to a surprising little area inhabited by plenty of muggles enjoying the full extent of the water. After checking the wrong area for five minutes, found the right spot and cache, which wasn't covered up very well. Great spot on a hot day.

TNLN. TFTC.

Ta nice spot found path to GZ, fast find. TN L party popper

We had a lunch date with some friends who live nearby> After a magnificent lunch, we introduced them to geocaching (at their request) with this one. We managed to avoid the swamp and took the easy path right to GZ. The youngest member of our party (Ben) got his First Find! The river looked great. Lots of muggle activity on the opposite bank but our side was muggle-free.

Good find in a closed park ...

First cache for the day found this one around 945am.
After fighting the swamp and it nearly ate me i found another way round. (no swamp monsters luckly). Found the cache did the log thing and put it back and off i went.
nice hide took nothing left nothing.
