Any idea if the cache is actually ok ? one of our geocoins is marked as being inside?
Could you let us know.
cheers
Gayle & Mark

The cache is OK.
they are working on the nearby bridge and there is a temporary fence up at the moment saying no entrance.
I'm confident that your coin is AOK.

There are still works going on in the surrounding area.
I will re-enable the cache as soon as access is permitted.
If I am excluding you from placing a cache nearby, please let me know.

I see that this one has been fenced off and is currently "out of bounds" while construction work is going on.

I'm finally going to log a Not Found after my 5th visit. I know it's there but I just can't spot it---yet!! Just like a polar bear in a snow storm I'm having trouble finding rocks in rocks. Homedg has given me some hints but this cache is still not finding me! I'll leave it for a little while and perhaps on my next visit I will see things differently. Good luck to the next visitor and thanks for trying to help Homedg. I'll be back. Cheers..........Gaztek

This one had the kids scrambling around for a while, I had to point out the clue to help them. They got there in the end. TFTC

Found it with rtec+ and rolphy

Out for a Jog with Quin4 & rolfy

great spot good hide! Falling Rock scores again!

Parked across the road at the baseball field. And crossed over the road and jumped the armco barrier. Didn't realise there was a temp fence installed till looking around at GZ. Had a really good look and still could not find ti even with the clue. Thanks anyway.

Temporary fencing has been put up warning of construction zone keep out. May need to check it out

Found this one after walking and driving all over the place looking for a way in and a place to park. Plenty of hidy holes here to look in and under however keeping the hints in mind eventually found it and then it was the obvsious place. Very sneaky Homedog. TFTC.

The Garnets

Spent about 45mins searching for this baby to no avail. Will try again.

When I arrived at GZ I had a terrible sinking feeling that I would have 2 DNFs in a row & this was my last planned cache for the day too (and I hate to finish on a DNF!). After walking smack into a big spiderweb at the start of my search, the B-Team took pity on me & decided to help out with this one. In the end he found the cache & I was most relieved. TFTC.

Driven past this one many times. Finally have a week off and plan to do many of the 'I should do that cache' caches.

Started of a few meters from the actual cache location, after having a look at the hint managed to find it.

Well its finally time to say goodbye End of the road you have taunted me for the last time,laughing at me every time I have driven past,remember those hot summer days when you made me sweat and cruse thinking you would never be found by me.I must admit your undoing came from a little guideance by my geobuddy limesugarlink
who I will be forever grateful to in helping to uncovering you...so farewell and goodnight end of the road sit tight..... .

Hey
Clever..
very clever.

got the clue ok but there are so many things here that fit the clue.
got it after a little bit of expansion from GZ.

was quizzed while i was there by some construction workers.. had to make up a story about someone throwing something out the window the other day and i was looking for it. thankfully they didnt want to help.

TFTC
had fun finding it

What a great hiding spot. Took a lot of searching but did find it.
Found on 21-3-09
Will need a new book soon. Needs a pencil. Or bring your own pen.
Our 1st Micro Cache, Thanks.

FOUND IT A WHILE AGO JUST FORGOT TO LOG IT
GREAT LOCATION. TOOK SOME FRIENDS ALONG FOR THE FIND. TFTC!

After about 30 mins of hunting, we stepped back with the thought 'we are smarter than this, use the clue, it will be easy'. Obviously not, another 30 minutes later and we decided to call it quits. We will be back.

quick find by geokid3 using the hints and previous finds today.

Tried briefly on sun evening 18/01/09 unable to look properly due to fading light.resumed search lunchtime today 2 hours and no luck,will return. .

found this one with Moneydork

A long hunt, but quickened thanks to the clue. TFTC.

We spent so long looking for this one last time this time I said to eba "right- I'm only looking for two minutes and we're off". Anyway, it took about two minutes this time and it was slightly out of place in this spot and lo and behold the cache was underneath! TFTC!

On a day out caching with Mr. Roo. What a ...difficult... cache, if the clue was meant to help, it did not help us. Thanks.

Albida

This one had me and albida pulling out our hair. Couldnt find a sqaure rock couldnt find a rock which look out of place. This wasnt a easy cache at all TFTC

Rock and more rocks ....... lucked it to find the right rock , that didn't quiet fit in .....
Thanks Homedg
SL TNLN

Had a bit of a hunt around for this one up came up empty handed. Too much broken glass and rubbish for my liking.

TFTH

Found with jkcourtz! Awesome search! dad got this before me! DOH! some thought went into this one!

Found 15:30. Took a little while to hunt this one down with geo-son. Clue helped.

Yep, it beat us!

Second time here this time with GK2 & 3. After 40 min looking and GK's throwing stones at each other was time to give up for the day. I'll be back.

Thanks

[Never thought I was going to bag this one today, after 40 mins I was about to call it quits, when I reread the clues for the umpteenth time when it finally clicked....rocks...square....ah ha! SL TFTC]

By mistake I park the 50 mts. away and found it. Thank

I must have rocks in my head but with only 1 set of eyes I couldn't find it despite the clue.. perhaps next time

I thought I had rocks in my head when we got there but the clue sure helped!!
SL TFTC

Found with aussie_watsy....TFTC!

Cool spot. TFTC!

Nice quick find in the early morning.
JABs.

This is one of those ones that could take forever or you could have it straight away. We read the clues and after a short hunt mr bloopy spotted the right one. Cheers!

Woohoo...found this one this afternoon!!
AWESOME hiding spot...very clever!
Took us about 20 minutes until Geo Jye found it.
Thanks for a great find Homedg.
Team Thomson_8

Took ages but did't give up. Worth the hunt. Excellent hide. TFTC.

15.10..... Wow it was a very excellent to hide the cache!! Thank you for the cache. Accompanied Sevabo.. TFTH SL

Found by Mary & David at 1115. Took ages. Mary announced that we'd spent enough time and needed to move on. With those magic words, the cache appeared before us. Bingo! Our thanks again to homedg.

Some cache setters have way to much time on their hands!!! Seems that there are a few in this area - this was the first of 3 similar ones we did today.
Had to phone a friend in the end, as we were beside ourselves, even though we thought we knew what we were looking for. Seem to remember who designed the alternate route here & when it was designed!
Quickly signed log & we were off to the next one.
Thanks for the cache.
cheers.

Not as difficult as seemed likely

I was working close by today so decided to have another crack at this one, read up on some previous logs and had a fair idea what the method used was, but which one?
I thought well I'll start with all the spots I overlooked last time and what do you know there it was in no time at all! Very Devious Mr homedg Well done. Signed my log and returned to it's spot think i put the 12th instead of the 13th down but oh well not to worry!

another log that we remebered that we hadnt log after begin told again and again from tegator to log i thought i better. tnln tftc

Bit of a challenge this one just getting the car near this.

Spent about 30 minutes hunting GPS accurate just had problems finding the thing. Nice hide and the second of this kind for the day.

You can fit a round peg in a square hole. Seen similar types around.

Found at 1645. This one took a solid 10-15min search, and not because of the hide, but because of the number of rocks. GZ was little off, but a good spot to put this type of hide. Other caches could do to follow.

SL. TFTC.

Looked for this one with Tramper Ted. Spent some time searching but unfortunately without success.

We were fairly certain what the container would be before we had left home and were momentarily confused when we couldn't immediately see exactly what we had expected to see. The hint helped us get this clever container in our hands fairly quickly. A very clever cache container sitting right out there in the open. At least we proved that we're not squares!

Another cache I was lucky to find quickly. This could take forever with less luck. I was also luck enough to be able to park right next to the cache as the barriers weren't made to keep out motorcycles.

With the description and clues we thought the find would be made quickly. We probably spent too much time on this search as GZ seemed very obvious.

Couldn't find this puppy. Eba even got out of the car and was frustrated we came away empty handed. Even a phone a friend didn't help. One for next time.

The geokids and I spent quite some time looking for this one but could not manage to find it. Though I reckon the hint was pretty obvious I checked in this area but to no avail. It has been a while since it has been found. I wonder if it's worth checking that it is still there?

New log book dropped.

A great cache on the way to another. TFTC homedg

3rd find had to look but with clue was not hard to find
thanks good hide

Upon arriving at GZ I felt that I would again walk away empty handed... but not this time!

Cache was in my hands within minutes; how on earth I missed it last time is beyond me!

Cheers.

Found it with Hoojar1ARC, follow the clues and it's easy. GZ was a few metres off but that's to be expected. Oh and log book is definitely chockers. TFTC!

Stopped by to check on this one.
Didn't have a replacement mini logbook on me however there are still a few "back of the pages" left.
Will replace the logbook soon.

Always better when you have to search for a while. Good hide, but note maintenance log. SL

Log book is full. Very good hide, though. TFTC.

Well 2nd time lucky with this one, nice hide. thanks for bringing us here
keener

Back again for another try following a DNF in December. This is one really annoying cache! Searched again for 15 minutes, and then decided to harass Gribbly at work for a clue (Thanks dude!), and found the cache about 10 minutes later. Ahh, the relief of knowing I can cross this one off the list!
TNLNSL, Thanks (I think!) for the challenge!
best wishes,
Wal

Finally found it was my 2nd attempted. thanks for taking me there. SL

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA we found it...Big thank you to Everlasting for help with this one....Took some more muggles along for a trip as they are curious as to what the craze is all about....must admit they were still none the wiser of what was happening after we finished....SL TFTH

tagged along with trishtrish35 for the second try at finding this one.....woo whooo.....we finally found it...

Looked high, looked low and got more and more frustrated...will come back and try this one again hopefully before we go home...Have realised we need to be a lot more cautious because of broken bottles etc around this area compared to home....

Thought we'd give this one a second try. After approx 15 mins, the GPSr settled down and the coords were spot on! Now why didn't it do that last time?!? Great camo! As we signed the log, bagpipes started playing in the distance, and quite a few curious lizards came to check us out - nice touch homedg! Thanks for the fun!

No luck today. Spent quite some time searching, and found a couple of really good fits for the clue, but no cache revealed. It's in there somewhere, so I'll drop by another day.
best wishes,
Wal

"Memories,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were"
(start humming the tune to memories now)
Ah the old days, so many memories. When you had to wait for the 100 carriage freight trains to pass-by or those pesky commuter trains. Or the idiot that would pull right up behind the other vehicles at the crossing and block people trying to turn right out of Menangle Road. The night I could hear my mates Ducati 900 Desmo from several kms away as it crossed the rail line and then roared away along Narellan Rd as fast as the bike could take him. I trained and played footy on the area that is now the Campbelltown Mall carpark. Koshigoya Pk, Hurley St and the library were once cricket fields and the Catholic Club had an outdoor swimming pool. It all seems so distant now.
(end humming now)
I finally got around to doing this cache, which is ridiculous as I drive past it several times a week. I did actually get here the day it was listed but put the wrong numbers in the GPSr and left my PDA at home. Better late than never.

Cheers,
Mike (Pi).

Nice sneaky little hide. Found after about 15 minutes of looking - the clue helped greatly. Thanks for the hide.
Took TB

We looked, but no dice. Robbie vows to wait for "proper" pit stop areas from now on - she painstakingly found a secluded spot in the blackberries, only to realize she was sharing it with a nearby homeless abode! Thanks for the hunt, maybe I can drag her back here one day.

Dropped in for a check and yep. the sneaky little bugger is still there and all is well with the cache.
The log is getting pretty full but should last a while longer if people use both sides of the pages.
Dropped off a Geo coin for the next finder.

So many places... And yet I could not come up with the find

Next time...

1ARC

it was fun to find. A bit of a challenge.
thank you
P.s. broke a nail

Great cache - love it so much. Again thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

Kiwi on holiday having lots of fun finding caches. Sadly we did not find this one although we looked and looked before admitting defeat.

found this one in plane view,it still took 20minutes to find it.place back the right way.

interesting

Droped off TB.

Spent about 20mins looking for this one without luck. GPS kept taking me to a spot that looked likely but no bananna. Will give it another go when I pass again.

Being familiar with a similar Tangles one nearby, this one turned up very quickly. Nice work. Thanks.

I was out here a week or two ago, but was called away shortly after parking the car. I returned today as I was in the area again, and the cache was located after a 10 minute search. My GPSr had ground zero about 5M away today, but as soon as I had scoured GZ and expanded my search area a little the cache was discovered.

A job well done homedg.

Thanks.

Good one homedg, coords spot on, the new clue helped.
Regards Philma.

2:27pm
What can I say, Mrs Webguy had this one in 10 seconds flat. Much better hide than your previous caches, keep it up.

finaly found it... must have moved that rock 20 times....
good hide

This is certainly a tricky little cache. I knew what I was looking for, but finding it is the hard part. Just as I was about to give up the GPS pointed me to a new GZ and presto. Took the TB. Thanks for this brain teaser.

What can i say? 1 hour spent looking and thinking then some more looking and a little more thinking, it was going to be my 350th find yet i couldn't get the goods, great hide, wherever it is

Fourth of nine finds on my first day in Sydney for this trip. Geez, I hate 'em in rocks! I especially hate micros in rocks, As soon as I saw GZ I decrypted the hint straight away. I still spent about 15 minutes scrabbling around trying to interpret the hint. My interpretation turned out to be correct, and I found the cache at 1715. Second to find. I managed to fit a Travel Bug into the cache that is specifically designed for micro caches. Thanks to homedg for the cache.

IN: Micro Bug TB
OUT: Nothing

My first haystack for the day, and after about 20mins I gave up and moved on.

had a couple of queries on this one, although nice to see The Old Sod logged it as a DNF.
Checked the cache again today and it is all intact, and co-ords are accurate to 2 mtrs or so.
Email me direct if you're looking for hints.
Homedg.

Every now and again a casher seeks a cashe that eludes thier every effort, i think i've found mine....
Spured into action by Tangles comment i went down after work on monday spent 50mins looking, NOTHING!!
So went back tonight another 45 mins, ARRRGHH!! still nothing.
Looked in every nook and cranny, stuck my hand in dark and uninviting places and came up empty and frustrated!

But i will be back, (maybe a back hoe and sieve would help.....)

The Old Sod

Very disappointed in the local cachers we drove past this cache on the way to the city in the wee hours of the morning and showing considerable restraint we drove past.
As we where passing on the way home again many, many hours later we thought that someone would have logged it, but NO. So we did the cache and then continued our way home.
Word of warning if you see a certain ex politician coming out of the nearby hamburger place don’t take his photo.
