Another dnf to add to a poor strike rate today. Thats 4 from 5 yhis morning arrrgh!
First DNF for the day! Too many spots it could be hidden and I could not figure out the clue but a great view! Tftc
Signed back in to the gc website. Backlogging a majority of finds over the last year. Started my own account and it's time to sync it out. To avoid confusion I wont change the date logged.

Second go at this one, tried it a long time ago and had to give up after rock climbing for ages n coming up empty handed. Well today was a very different story!!! Walked right up to it and only had to look down!! Funny how that happens sometimes! I was still 10m out according to my phone gps tho :/ then the fun began..... Opened my treasure/pen tin and the $50 note I piped in there for snacks at cafe after flew out in the wind and had me chasing it across the rock.. What a site I must have been!! Safely in hand I then dropped the log and had to do it all again!! Anyway log signed and off to cafe I go
Quite tricky for our second find, but after lots of climbing and searching we found it.
What fun cruising up, down and around and around and around the rocks. Found you in a good spot, albeit with a wet, salty logbook.
Added new paper, hope this helps. The hint does not help you find it but you know what was once in it when you find the container.... Thank you!!

After much scrambling up and done rocks, finally found it! Mostly by luck though - my phone was showing I still had 10m to go. Think the red rocks might have thrown it off....
Coordinates where a little off so look around, the paper was wet had to wait for it to dry out which didn't take long needs a new sandwich bag but overall great cache with a nice view
Tftc....what a find and site had to careful of muggles and also had to keep the little kids back off the rocks but at the end of the day we were successful....log sheet very wet, needs maintenance
Our 5th find. Great location for us newbies. Could not sign book as saturated. Thanks for your cache ☺
TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. The log is damp
Slow going today,
After going back to the car for a headtorch, I made a quick find.
Thanks for taking to me a place I wouldn't otherwise have explored.

Number 4 for Mandalf and I today. I liked walking along the rocks and discussing our favourite tiny, candy-coated chocolates. The log is totally soaked though - I would recommend putting the logbook in a bison tube to keep it dry and that into the larger container! TFTC
The log book was soaked, but the walk along the beach was nice. I really wanted to go for a swim. TFTC
After going a bit off course and being distracted by the drill holes, I eventually ended up in the right spot. It was very windy (on the plus side this meant no muggles) so not the best day for enjoying this lovely spot but TFTC.
Scurrying around the rocks with a bit of a sea running. Always with a "weather eye" on the incoming surf, thinking I could get swept away at any moment. However the sea wasn't as bad as that just me being a bit nervous.
Took around 10 minutes to finally locate and do the business. TNLN, SL, Visited a TB. Somehow the clue didn't help? TFTC Hoojar.

Took awhile to locate until I read some previous logs and I went straight to it. An interesting location. TFTC
Cold windy day, but managed to find it after a short search. My gps was saying a few more metres south east. TFTC
Took a bit of finding but with the help of a previous log, we found it. Great spot, first time for us. TFTC.
I at first went over the edge where there were drill holes in the rock but on ascending to the top the cryptic clue became obvious, but which one????
Took a little while to find but like others, the hint in a previous log helped. Sharp rocks can scratch fingers on retrieval! Log is just a little damp but still fine despite the location.TFTC.
Booo for this one!!! No luck today after scrambling on the rocks for ages!!! Will have to try again another day
Quick find on a fun caching day in the gong
thanks for the clue in a previous cache.
Left a star to shine for Red Fox

Decided to look for this after finding another close by. Found it after some looking.
Second find for the day. We had a bit of a scramble over the rocks and were almost standing on GZ waiting for compass to settle in the wind for about 5 minutes until we realised where it was. A great little hide. Thanks Hoojar.
Didn't have the time to stop off and grab some caches in this area on Friday, so was glad to be able to stop back and grab some today.

Another great find while touring around from cache to cache.
Very windy and cold today

After 15mins of searching turned out our foreman was ontop of it the whole time lol
A beautiful day to be out and about on the coast today and a rather rotund senior gentleman must have thought the same. As I clambered over the rocks at the GZ I encountered this person baking in the bollocky nearby. I gave him a friendly nod and quickly backed off from a most un-pretty sight, thinking I would have to accept a DNF here. Anyway, thankfully, he soon decided to vacate the area so I was able to go back and make the find. TFTC.
Really beautiful spot despite the factory backdrop. A favourite fishing haunt many years ago. Nice to see it preserved and improved. TFTC.
Found on our Wollongong caching holiday. Parked at the gate and walked through the gap to go to GZ despite a few workers working near the GZ. Didn't realise that this one would be in this type of location. We were looking and looking and making sure that no one fell off the cliffs. Hopefully muggles didn't think much of us. After a few minutes the hide was spotted. Very nicely hidden. Great view and a good way to remember an old friend. TFTC Hoojar!

Big waves today....couldn't get to gz .... I am a nervous nelly near the ocean. Will come back soon
Quick look after work. After 20 minutes of crawling over every rock and looking in every crevice and watching over my shoulder for rogue waves time to throw the towel in.
Hellz yes!!
Looked late in the arvo
Must have searched every crack
Asked every crab
Pulled over every rock
Finally!!
Tri marks the spot !!

This one outfoxed me!
GPS had me on the very edge of the rocks - I wasn't game to turn my back on the waves as I was alone so after a skittery 20 mins searching I threw in the towel.

I feel so defeated . We looked everywhere for this one but had no luck unfortunately. And wow, talk about seaspray!
Spent some time poking around the designated area, but came up empty handed. Might revisit with a bigger search party!
Paulyman and I looked over and under, high and low for this one, but to no avail. We will return!
Did this one with the Newberys and that young fella is a serious cacher. I was feeling a bit unsure on my feet but persevered. Then the young one yelled out "here it is" and the little critter was in hand. TFTC.
After clambering around for a bit we found the cache nice and snug. Surprising to see 2 other people logged it before us today. Great view. TFTC
Finally got this one, joind forces with Baja15 and we came up with the goods. The seas are high and lots of sea spray. TFTC
Having looked for this one before unsuccessfully, I was even more determined this time. As stated in other logs, there is so many possible hiding holes but today it didn't take too long and there it was. SL..TFTC
Shocked we found this one so easily. GPS was jumping all around today and micros in the rocks are certainly not my favourites to begin with, but today was a lucky day and before long I turned over the right rock! TFTC!
I was defeated by this one, although I only had a limited time (5 minutes) to spend looking as my priority was checking out the local Trig Stations.
In any case no find here for me!

Very interesting spot this, the Police chopper was practising rescues on the grass and nearly blowing me off the rocks by swooping overhead every few minutes for another go. I was anticipating a really long look but it fortunately didn't take too long. Nice area, TFTC!
So many good places to hide the cache. Its a wonder we found this after only a couple of minutes. Great place, great view, but a bit windy today. Thanks for bringing us here
Many cracks & crevices it could be in but no joy for us today, tide was coming in so didn`t have a chance to check further down.......maybe I should have got wet feet & given it a go! Cheers.
Many hands make light work! found this cache fairly quickly, it did help having 7 people scrambling the rocks looking for it. Good hide!
My 2nd DNF today, after 5 Finds. I hadn't been here before, so enjoyed this headland and heritage park, and although the "rock-hopping" got me to within 3 mtrs of GZ, I couldn't find it.
TFTC nice quick easy find. Cache currently has a pencil. Plenty of muggles around made grabbing it a little tricky.
Just as well we like rock hopping.
GPS told us we were within 500mm of cache. There was much looking.
There was still much more looking. ( Still looking) Then geoson said time to head out, but kept lookng. Found it where GPS said we were 3.5Mtrs away and in the first spot we said "no it won't be there". There was much rejoicing.
Great spot. Cache is dry. TFTC

Thanks for this cache before we had a 20 min look apparantly my satalite said it was 1.99 m away and my phone said it was 2m and then I found it in between some rocks TFTC SL
