Quick find after waiting for muggles to clear out. A few possibilities here so was happy to make a quick grab. Tnln sl replaced as found. TFTC

No luck here today

Thanks for a quick find here. Lovely sunny day.

Back for the 3rd time, after attempts 1 and 2 were unsuccessful due to cache missing. A pretty quick find, the 1st spot i tried last time in fact. Thanks for replacing and maintenance!!

Fourth of ten cache finds today with one AL (5 locations) and just one DNF. On a day out with Graubunden, my geospouse. Just realised that this was my 1400th cache find - excluding Adventure Labs locations.A quick find after recent maintenance by CO two months earlier. TFTC Cachefinders2

SurdiVisio had beaten me to find. Thank you!

No pen unfortunately- came for the AL as well but noted this while trying to get that working! Have a pic as needed.

Called in to check and maintain this hide and I think cache creep has had an effect when the CO cant find it, to do said maintenance. I have replaced the container in its intended place along with a new log in a bag. It is similar size to original but now black not white. I would appreciate any finder of the old container to let me know so I can remove it and check previous logs if possible.

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. Wet logbook so we photo it.

No luck here today Thanks Cachefinders2 for placing this cache.

Came here last week, searched all over. Messaged co and other finders for hints but still can't find it.

Not sure if it's still there.

Really easy

Very interesting location and nice hide. Doing the adventure lab.Thanks.

A beautiful church and interesting story about Granny Smith. Thankyou for bringing me here!!

Easy find while doing the new adventure lab.Tftc

Finally on my fourth attempt and even with a hint from the CO, it still took me more than 20 minutes. I found all the 'helpful tips' about the other side of the street and photos from other finders to be red herrings! My phone gps got me very close to GZ before it began to wander a bit. Log is in terrible shape with torn zip lock and dozens of small crumpled separate sheets. I added a short piece torn from a receipt as backup and signed the thicker piece of cardboard. # I did find Granny Smiths tombstone this time, which I hadnt found on previous searches, so another plus! Its on the south side of the church in a second section of graves I hadn't realised was there - it is almost under the left hand light-pole closest to Victoria Rd! PS - the apple in my photos was left by someone else. Thanks Cachefinders2

Another unsuccessful search. Perhaps I have no geo-sense! I’ll keep trying - TFTC anyway!

took abit but found it!!

Found this one today. Thanks for the history! There are some really nice views in this hilly area. Cache was on the other side than what the GPS suggested. Signed the log and returned. TFTC

Wandered around. Found things. Helped with directions for a lost tourist in his electric wheelchair. Took pictures. Found and signed with kiwisteve2.
Thanks for the slice of history!
Tftc

in the area today with work. grabbed this one on our lunch break. a little hunting and referring to the previous pics brought us back to our first location. should have looked closer the first time. tftc

Found tyftc

Nice one

Found it in the open so after signing the log decided to put some camo over it and some natural cover.
TFTC

Cool cache thanks a lot

Quick little park n grab…TFTC

A day out with the geo dog.  I decided to visit a few random caches in the area between Eastwood and Ryde. It turned out to be a nice day with a nice variety of hides.

What a great piece of history about one of my favourite apples. The cache was not on the place my GPS showed me, but once I searched a bit further out the cache was quickly spotted.

TFTC

Found this one on my way from the near ALDI back to the hotel, this was my second find in Australia, thanks for the cache!

Out caching with friends, searched around then read the previous logs and saw that sometimes you are on the wrong side, made a quick find then. Signed log and replaced. Thanks to CO.

Here for a wedding and fascinated to learn of granny smith’s connection with this church. Thanks for the history lesson!

What a nice church and surrounds. Our thanks to Granny Smith and her husband for their legacy.

Find #: 2,668
Companions: None
Muggles: A few walking by
Weather: Cool spring morning
Cache condition: Good

I decided to go for a jog 'n cache in the Ryde area, and this was my fifth stop. The container was visible on approach, so after signing (TNLN) I increased the camo. TFTC

In the area visiting friends and we had time for a quick detour to find this cache.

Nice to learn about some local history. TFTC.

Looked around on the wrong side but switched to the other and found it straight away! Loved this one, tftc! Also there were a bunch of muggles as it's Sunday morning, so maybe come at a time where there's less people, unless you don't mind )

??

Found it! Looked a tad strange looking Into a cemetary but TFTC

TFTC!

I searched where my phone was telling me with no luck.
Then expanded my search and saw something. Bingo.
Thank for the history of this cache and for keeping it alive.

Today we headed over to Ryde to grab some caches that we had either missed on previous visits to the area, or were new publications since our last visit. This was the 6th of 6 finds, and 3 DNF's, for the day.

Our last cache stop for the day was at this one, parking close to the cache in Church Street, then walking up to GZ for a look. Quickly uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

We then wandered around the church grounds and snapped a few photos of the lovely old church and cemetery, before heading for home. TFTC Cachefinders2.

Find #4606

Thanks! Found with FD99

A cute little grab on the monarch moths streak

Found this cache without too much trouble after brunch at a near by cafe

Felt a bit uncomfortable looking around here as it is a church and there were a lot of muggles around. I did have a fair look around but think I will have better luck when I can hunt in the dark with no people

Great hiding spot, log book needs maintenance.

I stopped on my way to work this morning hopeful of finding a cache to start my day. Alas it was not to be, 'though I spent more time at GZ than allowed me to get to work on time. In the beautiful morning light I wandered and wondered viewing some lovely old memorials and walking away with a smile on my face but no smiley on my map. TFTC I hope to be back again some day with a happier result.

On a nice little Sunday walk in the morning, and on the first cache hunt trip in about three months.

This one took a little while, needing to scour both sides of the area. But the container was revealed once I spotted something that might as well be used to cover it.

All good here. TFTC, Cachefinders2!

Pretty sure I know where it is but under scrutiny of muggles over road.

Just as I gave up, the muggles went in. Quick find. SL. TFTC.

Tried this a few weeks back, but there was a muggle intensely watching me, so my search was fairly brief.
This evening, I had the GZ to myself, and quickly spied the hide.

Came here with the Missus on a rare joint geocaching mission. Well, I did just spend a few hours walking around Ikea while she picked out what she wanted . Cache location was easily spotted using Geo-senses and I had my pen out before I checked to make sure there was actually a cache there . Unusual little graveyard. TFTC!

We spent some time trying to find the grave of granny smith, but couldn't locate it. Fortunately we got the cache. TFTC.

A nice little church and graveyard. We had a look for Granny Smith's grave but didn't find it. We did find the cache though. TFTC!

Tftc. After a quick scout around on the wrong side, we swapped over for a quick find.

Tftc. Nice little walk to this quiet place

Quick find with Ris768 for the daily cache. thanks Cachefinders2 for adopting & maintaining this cache.

Coords out a bit but found in the end.

Co-ords took us to wrong side but soon found. TFTC

Lovely old Church. Interesting find. TFTC

Very interesting location and nice hide. Thank you!

Thank you. Took a few mins to notice the spot. Thanks for bringing is here

Nice hide. A real park and grab.

After lunch at a nearby Persian restaurant, his_old_lady went shopping while I did a cache. Spent a bit of time searching around the wrong side. Finally walked over to the right side and quickly found it. Thanks for the cache and the interesting bit of history.

Needed a few finds to nudge closer to my next milestone planned for the weekend. A handful around the Ryde area was just what the doctor ordered. A chance meeting with the Morty duo saw us team up for my first 4 caches before we parted ways on this hot day.

I've looked at this cache on my map for a long time and today I was finally able to make the visit. Not at all what I was expecting. Spent a short while exploring where my phone was pointing before it decided to point somewhere else which is when I noticed... Now my name is finally in the logbook

What a lovely old church and graveyard. Reminds me of England. Once the stream of muggels walking by abated it was soon CIH. TFTC.

Got to GZ and was looking around then spotted something not right, went to investigate and yes CIH.

Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

Tricky find but geoson has the eye. TFTC.

Cheeky found dad couldn’t find it but young brains always win

Took a little too long to locate this one. I was concentrating on one particular spot, as the app had me there. I did widen the search once toward the ultimate spot, but still went back to the first place. Then I had that moment when one says something like, "Why are those stacked like that?" You know the rest. TFTC

An interesting and historical part of Ryde, and an easy find.
The log booklet has fallen apart but is quite dry and still usable.
TFTC

Thank you for cache bringing me here a Sydney icon full of history

I got to the GZ and started looking around. With nothing springing out at me i expanded my search and soon had the cache.
I really liked learning the history of Granny Smith. I knew she was Australian but that was it.
Thanks.

Quick find at GZ. Lots of old graves. Signed on first page as I was OCW EverestHigh. TFTC

Tftc took I bit to find

Found after a bit of a search

Found it after a bit of looking around. All los since 5/7/17 signed by kazzacosmo just wondering where all the logs inbetween have signed the logs as the original log is there but was too wet when kazzacosmo replace a new piece of paper for logging. Please explain

TFTC

I loved this cache and the history. It's right near where my daughter and her new twins live and the weather was perfect today for a walk. We explored the churchyard too - so many stories.

And it was the twins' very first ever geocache find.

Found with RoamingRomy and MoonManMissSunshine

Thank you La Perouse and Cachefinders2.

Worth a favourite point!!!

Found with our mum RoamingRomy and nana, AussiePam

Our very first ever cache!!

Heading home after a daytrip around the northern beaches, wanted a few more quick smilies as I approach an upcoming milestone. Noticed this one was on the way and had a feeling it was an old nemesis dnf from years ago I may as well try again. Once at GZ though, nothing looked familiar and I realised I was thinking of another long-archived cache. Never mind, still got a quick find and even in the dark, I had a new bonus stat.

Happy to take a break from peak hour traffic and was not disappointed, was greeted by a beautiful old church and headstones, but I was there to claim a smiley and set about finding the cache, log signed and back into the geomobile

Pretty easy cache. Had to wait for a woman in the retirement home to walk down the road before actually being able to get it. TFTC

Located at 8:35pm. Very clandestine little hide. Had me going for a few moments before reassessing the area around me and zeroing in on a particular spot. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

TFTC!
I was glad to find this one after failing to previously. My log mustn't have come through, am logging with a best guess estimate.
Coords had me abut 5m north of where I managed to make the find and do the legals.

Took a while but was glad to finally have in hand log very wet replaced with new one and plastic bag left old one in cache hope ok

Didn't even try to attempt, to many DNF's
