Talk about hidden in plain sight! Conspicuous yet camouflaged at the same time. TFTC!

TFTC! Snuck this cache in after sunset as the cold closed in. Encountered some spider webs and a millipede on my way to the cache. On my way back to the car, there was still somebody on the swing set close to GZ in the pitch black darkness!
Have not done this before, so I hope I'm doing this right.
(1) Used the last line on the front of the log but didn't have another sheet with me. The back can be used, it is blank but unlined.
(2) Didn't find a pencil in the cache.

I've been away from Geocaching for a long while and very glad to be back into it! Found this one quite easily as the sun went down this Sunday. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC!

Seventh of the day for PandaKeike, Goose360 and our crew. After making the trek out to GZ, it took a couple minutes for us to spot the container in amongst nature. Very cool finding this cache, definitely the largest container I've seen in my Geocaching travels. TFTC!
Sixth of the day for PandaKeike, Goose360 and our crew. We all had a bit of a chuckle at the hint before arriving at GZ. There were muggles all about: a family driving their car on the grass for some reason, and two big celebrations (a 3-year-old's birthday party and an engagment party) at the table areas nearby. But we ventured in anyway and nobody took any notice of our shenanigans. I think the camo was quite good for this one, it doesn't stand out as much as RHRP #3, which is a similar sort of hide.
TFTC, and for the entire RHRP series! For anyone thinking of introducing Geocaching to their friends like we were doing, this series from sevabo is fantastic as the caches aren't too difficult, there are a variety of different containers, and they are all in close promixity so you don't lose your flow by having to drive from place to place!

Third of the day for PandaKeike, Goose360 and our crew. Once we reached GZ, it was obvious where we had to look and we had the cache within seconds. I love how there was a single cufflink in here, we didn't take it but we probably should have as we discovered its matching pair later in the day at another cache! We didn't end up taking anything but did leave a bunch of goodies for future finders 
TFTC!
TFTC! Fifth of the day for PandaKeike, Goose360 and our crew. Spider territory out here so be wary. Goose360 also spotted a bearded dragon perched on a tree trunk, it didn't move the whole time we were there (the bearded dragon, that is, although I suppose the tree trunk couldn't have moved far either).
The coordinates aren't quite accurate, it helped that we had five in our party and we were able to spread out and search. Goose360 was the one who made the find, and it was cool discovering another container type I've not seen before. In broad daylight it shouldn't take too long to find as the cache doesn't quite camouflage perfectly with the background, but in failing light it would be a bit more difficult. TFTC!

Fourth of the day for PandaKeike, Goose360 and our crew. Be careful of spiders, there were a few large webs that we came face to face with out here.
First we spotted a lone little tomato on a tree and we double-checked to make sure that it wasn't the cache! After fruitlessly (:P) searching for a few more minutes, we backtracked along the path before one of our eagle-eyed friends made the find, which was hidden very nicely within the nature here. TFTC!

Eighth and final cache of the day for PandaKeike, Goose360 and our crew. We've never found so many in one outing, and it was very cool coming back to RHRP for the first time since early high school, so thank you very much sevabo
I was right there next to the cache upon arrival at GZ, if I had turned my head a little when I was having a look at something else I would've spotted it. In the end, I think this one took us the longest of the entire series (not that it was that long anyway, about 10 minutes). As several others have said, it is indeed a very sneaky spot. Love the hide, TFTC!

The first of a record eight in a single day for me! I was joined by my usual partner-in-crime PandaKeike, as well as Goose360 and two of our friends who we were introducing to the joy of Geocaching.
PandaKeike and I had wanted to try this one before but the area was cordoned off at the time. This time we were actually able to enter GZ, and also got lucky when the group inhabiting the area left for the day. We looked around aimlessly for a bit before trying the hint, and it wasn't long before Goose360 had found his first cache! What a great disguise, a very cool cache

Second of the day for PandaKeike, Goose360 and our crew. We spent a little bit too long looking in the wrong places and also discovered a little calling card that another caching group must have dropped by accident.
Eventually we were able to locate the cache, and as I write this I realise that we should've heeded the hint offered by the cache's name (which is so true, you'll certainly love the view when you get there!). The log was not in good shape and was very full, so PandaKeike offered an old bus ticket that we used to sign our names. TFTC!

No dice with this one unfortunately despite PandaKeike and I visiting twice today. Swung by in the early afternoon, but we had another lady on a phone watching us with suspicion (second of the day!), and pulled the pin to go eat lunch. Came back a second time but just couldn't find it. We shall return!
Got to GZ, had a quick look around, but left before long due to a large number of muggles in close proximity. Will have to come back another time. There were, however, some guys from the university circus society practising their juggling nearby - pretty neat!
Managed to sneak this one in despite muggles being everywhere! Lots of people passing through to and from the nearby building, a man on his Mac in one of the window offices, and a lady on her phone eying us suspiciously from the overhead path.
It was PandaKeike who made the eagle-eyed spot. Once dislodged, we signed the rather damp log and were happy to see that said lady on phone had vanished once it was time for us to replace the container. TFTC!

TFTC, and thanks for bringing us to this little garden. PandaKeike and I definitely wouldn't have run across it otherwise! You do need either some height or some athleticism to reach the container, unfortunately I don't really have the former but had enough of the latter to get the prize. There was, unfortunately, a muggle lurking at GZ when we were around, but I think the cache should be okay.
We didn't have loyalty vouchers to swap, but we did leave a trackable: the Rusty Orange TB, a Chinese coin which is aiming to go to deity sites. The TB owner notes that "anything will do, even a tree" so we have planted it here for now at the 'tree' in this garden. We were in a hurry so not sure if we just didn't look carefully enough, but we didn't see any other trackables in the container, but there are supposed to be 4 of them...

Went to the wrong tree at first and couldn't turn up anything... barking up the wrong tree, as you might say! Rechecked my phone, managed to get the right one, then had the cache in hand before long. Love the design of the container, TFTC!

Found with PandaKeike after a loooong struggle! We saw many logs about the mystery personal trainer in the park, but didn't see him around today. We were running out of time and were about to leave, before our last-ditch check saved the day.
After checking out pictures at GZ, I realised that a trackable I was hoping to leave here probably wouldn't fit inside the cache (and sadly it didn't). We didn't find the log wet, unlike our hands! TFTC, very clever hiding spot!

TFTC! #16 with PandaKeike. Learned a lot about pollution control and weirs out here. Email to follow shortly.
This was my first Wherigo cache with PandaKeike We started off several weeks ago with the farmer's challenge at the river. We had seen this puzzle before but certainly hadn't performed it in real life so this was fun, and certainly good exercise as well! I wonder what the muggles thought about a young couple armed with phones in hand, shuffling back and forth across the bridge over and over again...
After that, we stepped into the complex for food and a bit of shopping. By the time we headed out to the Gecoache coordinates, it was already dark and when we realised that there was a fair bit of bushland to get through, we pulled the pin and left this one unfinished.
We then returned to Geocache GZ during daylight. After I walked into a couple of spiderwebs and had to swipe a little crawler off my chin, we hit upon the area and had the cache in hand quite quickly. Never would have spotted this one in failing light though.
TFTC, lots of fun!

TFTC! Got this one while attending the Geocaching NSW AGM / meet-and-greet with PandaKeike, first moveable cache we've run into.

Nice and easy one, TFTC! Found the two that Toren_Dane mentioned, signed both logs.
You do need a bit of height for this one, luckily I was just tall enough! Found with PandaKeike.

PandaKeike and I were here for a while but no luck. We'll go for a second try another day!
#10 for PandaKeike and I, TFTC! Sorry I might've broken the attaching link on the cache in my enthusiasm. We improvised and were able to replace it in its spot, I think it should hold. Left a couple goodies in there for the next traveller too!
Nice one, TFTC! Our first mystery cache, I quite like these, I was so proud when we cracked the code!
We got to GZ just as darkness was encroaching, and were able to get in and out pretty quick. I do like the retrieval method, it's very clever! Found with PandaKeike, #12 for us.

First, an admission: PandaKeike and I attempted this one at sundown while there was still some light, wasn't quite a night cache.
We followed the treeline, made the 90 degree turn and were thrown off for a bit. After following the instructions of previous finders, we took another turn to check out some more trees before hitting gold.
Left a little something in the case for the next person along (it's meant to be worn around the wrist). TFTC!

TFTC! I've been through this area millions of times, so it's pretty amazing to discover that there's been a cache right there, hidden for the past 6 years!
Relatively quick find even with muggles roaming about. We did also get stopped mid-search by a preacher who talked to us about Heaven and Hell, and why we are all sinners!

No dice with this one! Went with PandaKeike as nighttime started to roll in, found the area where the sleeper was before, but couldn't uncover the cache.
Did spot a few trains and many headlights passing by on the adjacent road. Think we will have to try our luck again in the daytime!

Ventured down here with PandaKeike just after sunset, unfortunately we couldn't turn up the treasure. Sadly it seems our beginner's luck has run out as we go 7/8 after our first DNF. We'll be back soon to have another go!
TFTC! Managed to sneakily avoid getting our hands involved with any unseeable insects or webs by using our two cellphones! One with the front-facing camera to take a peek, and the other armed with a flashlight as the sunlight faded.
Squeezed a little letter X eraser in there for the next adventurer. Found with PandaKeike.

Was in the area today, and on a whim I thought I'd see if any caches were nearby. We happened to park in the carpark right next to this one, so brought my family along to show them what Geocaching was all about.
With the hint it was a nice quick find. We had no problems with the lid or the magnet. TFTC!

Struggled with this for something like 45 minutes. Was about to pull the pin and leave, but a last-ditch attempt got the goods! TFTC.
Found with PandaKeike. 3 from 3 so far!

What a fantastic cache! We were here for a good 50 minutes looking, discovered it quite quickly but were convinced it wasn't it. Close to giving up before a final investigation revealed the bounty.
Found with PandaKeike. Log was completely full though so had to squeeze our names in between others.

TFTC! Found 2 caches here in the same spot. Signed both and left a dollar in the newer cache for the next person.
Found with PandaKeike. 6 from 6 for us so far as we stop for the day
