A good place for a cache. TFTC

Lots of mouldy log books inside! Found while doing a nearby earth cache TFTC

Not an easy one but got it. Thanks!
 
11-Jun-24
Little off the coords, but didnt take too long.
 
11-Jun-24
Took a while to find it, but at least we found it, and it looked pretty nostalgic!
 
20-May-24
Found pretty quick, unfortunately the contents are soaked and moldy. Tftc Smile
 
09-Apr-24
Lots of treasures! Found in the wall thank you. Collected a lot of spiderwebs today.
 
31-Dec-23
Couldnt find. BUT a very cool hint.
 
25-Dec-23
Apparently the hint is too difficult for some. The - in the hint is a minus. What happens when you write out the 3 (what letters do you get)?
 
17-Dec-23
what is up with 3h bruh. hint did not make sense. dropped off some goodies including a SMART WATCH
 
24-Jun-23
No luck today! Looked at the wall, the trees, looked for the ants lol but unsuccessful! Also don’t understand the hint. Time to watch the boys play soccer, might try again another day!
 
25-Apr-23
Found It!
I spotted this one as soon as I arrived. Then opened it up and out came the ants. Got rid of most of them, signed both the logbooks and then rehid the cache. Nice little park.
TFTC
 
01-Mar-23
Fumbled around for about 30 minutes taking heed to ignore the wandering GPS. Was about to give up but tried once more after starting in a more open area to get a better reading. Hiding spot was not obvious on the side I approached from. A huge ants nest occupies the container so be prepared!
 
01-Dec-22
Clue makes no sense and coordinates are 20m off. But got it. Good for swaps. Tftc
 
20-Sep-22
Rubbish in it
 
17-Aug-22
First time actually doing this prooperly still there in tact and nice little spot
 
14-Aug-22
Went in the bush and under the bridge but couldn't find it
 
14-Aug-22
It was no where to be seen, we checked the bush, under the bride and near the wall and the hint was of no help.
 
11-Aug-22
Short stop between jobs. Nice quiet park.

My gps put me in the open but geosense got me home. Thanks for placing.
 
10-Aug-22
Sticks and Stones everywhere.
Impressive wall.
Cache box has been damaged but is keeping dry in its hiding place.
SL, TFTC

A very lucky find, as I was actually in the middle of collecting info for the nearby earthcache! A lovely little spot, thanks to The Antipodes for the cache! Note the cache is excellent condition, but the container is missing a big chunk out of one side and is now haunted by a huntsman spider
 
05-Nov-21
Thanks for the great cache
 
31-Oct-21
Hint made absolutely no sense so we bush bashed a bit until we found it
 
27-Oct-21

On International Earth Cache Day, I decided to walk JordsAU's Ryde District Quarries Earth Cache.
Together with Eagle Eyed Monkey Girl we also walked through this little pocket of bushland and were lucky to find a nice big box as a kind of bonus cache.

Found while discovering some of Ryde's history in an earth cache.
Massive rocks make one feel small.
Thanks The Antipodes

A great hiding place. Very easy to find though. Love this as this is the first geocache I found. Surprisingly, I walk through the forest every day.

Hint didn’t make sense to us but with a bit of searching we found it - cool location, more detailed description and hint would make it an even better one. Made a swap so a success overall
 
18-Jan-20
Nice easy find after putting the phone away and exploring the area. Tftc

As both Anominous Sign and I could not stay still, we decided to go for this cache while waiting for our bus home. As usual, we chose what we think is the shortest distance to the GZ from bus stop, which added terrain rating to the cache. Cache was soon located after arriving at GZ. Still too long till the bus is coming, so we heading to the next bus stop. TFTC!
 
05-Jan-20
We were on our way to a bus stop after a busy morning of caching when I noticed this one right near by.

The bus wasn't due for another 16 minutes so we decided to give it a go.

We approached directly from the round-about which added a few points to the terrain rating. Once at the right level we wondered around, following the GPS, but the geosense was more helpful in the end.

Signing duties done, we left via an easier route and still had time to walk a few extra bus stops before our bus arrived. Thanks!
 
01-Dec-19
Thanks. I'm glad you're exploring brought me here, I'm also a local but never realised this was here
 
29-Sep-19
Found it
 
27-Sep-19
This certainly is a nice tranquil patch of green space. I took the "mountain goat" shortcut in and spotted the telltale signs of camo straight away. Returned to the car by the more regular route.
 
21-Sep-19
Came along here on a cache hunt with ilook4geo. Read the cache page and the hint, but that did not help any. The cache was found using geo instinct more than anything else. The container and contents were in good condition and all was replaced as it had been found, after the log had been signed with two more names. Thank you to Antipodes for placing this cache.
 
21-Sep-19
Out for a cache hunt this morning with goingplaces2. The hint was not helpful but just looking around meant the cache was found fairly quickly. log was signed and we moved on again. TFTC.

Looked in the wrong spot for aaages.
 
26-May-19
I made hard work of this, with the GPS dancing all over the place.
The hint didn’t really help me, but eventually instinct led me away from the GZ the phone was offering.
Spotted a likely spot and boom! CIH.
Had I noted the cache size, I may have looked here earlier.
Tftc.

Last cache for the day. While the rest of the family decided to spend a bit of time in the playground in a park just up the road, I decided to use the time to walk over to this cache and see whether I could make a find.

This is an interesting little bit of bushland / reserve. I noted a sign up saying there was bush regeneration underway, which is always a nice thing to see. These little green patches all over definitely make Sydney such a wonderful city to live in.

The clue didn't really make any sense to me, even after the fact. I thought I would see something to guide me, but instead I had to use my geosense and just look around a bit before I spotted a very likely place. That turned out to be the correct spot, and the container was actually fairly visible. I had no problem extracting it and getting to the log sheet to sign my name.

I returned everything as found, but hid the container just a bit better so that it wasn't as visible as when I had spotted it. Then it was time to get back to the others and finally head on home after a long day of exploring the Ryde area through caching. I'll have to come back sometime to find a lot more caches that I downloaded but never got to on this trip.

Don’t understand the hint but found it !

That hint was hard as rock

On a day that should have been spent in air con, Oldmorty and I decided to go looking for little containers. I had visited this a few years ago but time ran out so today was the day to get a smiley. Oldmorty took the lead and was signing the log before I knew it.Off to lunch. TFTC!

OCW Morty8888. After parking in the vicinity of gz we walked down and although the phones were playing up a likely hiding spot was investigated. Bingo CIH. TFTCV
 
06-Feb-19
I decided to go grab a quick cache at lunchtime today as i was working fairly close to this one.
A lovely spot with a lot of shade.
At the GZ i put down my GPSr and began searching the old fashioned way. It didnt take too long before i spotted a flash of something interesting and had the CIH.
The cache is in good condition and the log is dry.
Thanks.

#2292 I got here early for the CITO so wandered about in the vicinity to see how many caches I could knock off. In the end I found 5 before the event.

This one was the second for the day wandered about here for a while trying to find where a cache could be hidden where the GPSr was pointing. In the end gave up looking the thought where would I place a cache and a couple of minutes later I spotted something suspicious & I had the cache in hand

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache The Antipodes

Family day hiking to Buffalo Creek Reserve. Took a little while. My initial thought was correct. Didn't figure out the meaning of hit. TFTC

Today we headed over to East Ryde to continue with our short walk and "park & grab" cache hunting, and to collect some solved puzzle caches. This was the 8th of 15 finds for the day.

After completing our circuit bush walk around the Field of Mars Reserve, and collecting several caches along the way, we next came to this cache. Parked the geomobile in Niara Street, then followed the track and then the old roadway over the bridge and up to GZ.

Quickly uncovered the hide and had the generously sized cache container in hand. Signed the logbook, swapped a Ninja Turtles keyring and a souvenir Thredbo penguin (out) for 4 coloured dominos and a vintage 1963 Australian Penny (in), and then replaced the container and camo as found. TFTC The Antipodes.

Find #2649

Just in Sydney for the day for work. I had a bit of spare time between work commitments so I went to find a few caches. Nice one! Classic cache. Classic hide. My GPS was a bit vague in this terrain but I went to search a logical spot and there was the cache. Thanks for keeping this one alive. TFTC, Biggles.

Since my work day has brought me to this area I thought why not seek this cache. Soon found the track and located the cache. A little hidden gem. TFTC
