Even though this one cracked over 300 finds I checked today and it is definitely gone again so time to start over.
We had travelled down from Sydney to Kiama for the April school holidays, camping for a week at Kendells on the Beach Holiday Park in our Jayco Swan Outback camper trailer. With our holiday now coming to an end, today we were driving back home to Sydney, but planned a diversion via Port Kembla to pick up some extra caches to add to our holiday total. This was the 4th of 11 finds for the day, and the 43rd find for the holiday.
We ended up having to walk back along the main road to this one a bit further than expected, as we missed the parking area entry road. So after a 300 metre sprint we arrived at the "feature of interest" where, thanks to the very helpful hint, we quickly spotted the hide. But we had to cover our actions by taking many photos of the "feature of interest", with some shots being taken from an elevated position
, before we actually had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found, with even more photos, or simulated photos, being taken to cover the container replacement. TFTC steeba.
Find #1693

Just about to give up when my son looked up and said.. is this it? Omg this is it!!!
TFTC - my second for the day and third overall was successful under the stealth of darkness however I don't recommend doing it barefoot. Well hidden cache, almost didn't see it until I flicked on my torch
Muggles Everywhere!!!! Used the old 'suss dude on his phone to no one' routine.
I went to check on this one and it is indeed missing, so will need to be replaced shortly.
Found with geo granddaughters on way back from birthday party just around the corner. TFTC 
A weekend away was hatched with Rapidlywild to head down to the Wollongong area to collect a few smileys. After getting an early mark from work we packed the car and headed down the highway and through the meandering hills to the coastline, collecting a few caches along the way. We did the obligatory stop at the Robertson Pie Shop for dinner, arriving just before closing time. After a late night exploring around the town we hit the hotel for a few hours of shut eye before heading out for a big day collecting the SES series and others we had solved when preparing for this weekend.
Thanks to the cache owners for the cache placements and bringing us to the Wollongong area. The variety of puzzles on offer was enjoyable, some of the puzzles we have seen something similar before and some were quite challenging. Thanks for the challenge.

Plans were in place for sometime to attack the SES Puzzles with FurfacesLL and the Queens Birthday weekend was decided on for collecting them. We started working our way thorough the puzzles together, some were easier than others, and eventually we had them all solved. We took off after work friday and was home Sunday night.
We had a very muddy weekend but enjoyable all the least. Thanks to the CO's for the placements.
No issues locating this one today, signed and replaced.

Today was a wet n rainy day so it was quickly grabbed, signed and replaced without any attention!! 
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. Send me an email (via profile link) or a message in the message centre (also via profile link) if you have any concerns.

Found this one after attending the CITO Event today that was just across the road.
TFTC!

I was meeting my sister at noon down in Wollongong...so that means some caching on the way down! I had a great time and got eight.
This was my last for the day. I had spent a lot of our lunch talking about geocaches. So it was decided to show my sister what it was all about. My sister has injured her leg so had to find one where there is not much walking involved. We drove right up to this one and it was lucky we had her geotool to help retrieve and put back the cache (without it I wouldn't have been able to get it by myself). It just took ages to get it back due being a high muggle area. Thanks

Well I found it but it was way to high to attempt at this time of day with the nearby subway packed with muggles!! Lol will come back at a less muggly time n sign log
Yippee, first to find the replacement cache. Had this one on the list "to do" and when I was loading into the GPS saw that it had been disabled, but luckily I spotted it back on line so after a small problem solving the "vertically challenged" situation soon had the cache in hand. This was the starting point for our planned LIPT series. Good hide and another interesting "local landmark". Thanks steeba
I better just put this one offline for the moment until I can get a replacement out there.
Have previously found this cache checked it today but it is now gone looks like someone has removed it from its spot so it needs to be replaced
Searched and re-read others comments. A bit suspicious this one has gone. Thanks anyway, cool lighthouse.
Sue saw it and Dan reached for it. The advantage of being a South African couple (Apartheight). TFTC
Find 18- found this while waiting for our daughter doing her drivers test down the road ? TFTC...love the container ?
Thanks for the great cache

Found. Thanks for the cache hide. Found with *Throsbyonchurch* and *Little Panther*
I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” *Throsbyonchurch* and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.
I found this cache jointly with TOC and now I have my own account I am claiming my finds. My caching name is not in the log book though as I didn't have one. I can cache on my own now. Thank you for the hide.
Liked this little hide. Certainly required some tactic of extraction especially for the lower challenged. Went snooping in circles until I read the description properly and then presto. SL and returned. Thanks for the good hide.
Found it but didn't sign log as was too hard to reach. Had it been night and less muggles would have gone all out for it. TFTC
well spotted after lunch
grabbed while there were no muggles walking past
busy busy

Muggleville today. Took a little second guessing but you'll kick yourself if you read the clue and take more than 5 min to find this one ... Anyone have a spare boot (8 min). In the end, great hide and TFTC!!
Found! No log in there though. I put a receipt from maccas (don't judge) in there and signed it, for the interim. Thanks!
Find #136
Nice easy find, no muggles about due to the bad weather.
Unable to sign as log is missing

Great find, wasn't too difficult to find after having a bit of a think between 4 friends happy hunting guys
This was very easy, found within five minutes it was fun to start off our night of hunting.
A mizzly sunday morning so very few muggles about made this a good choice to add to our shopping excursion at a nearby BBQ retailer. Lucky I had the geohubby handy for that extra bit of reach. TFTC
Visited with Gill&Tony today. As I have already found this one I acted as a distraction while he made the find.

Find Number 672, found at 13:36
Today we travelled to Shellharbour to celebrate the ICC's 9th annual get-together and also to celebrate the fact that steeba had completed 10,000 finds.
NationalSteel and I had lunch nearby and then I decided to have a second try at this one. I DNFed the cache when I was very new to the game. This time it turned out to be a quick and easy find. Maybe my geosenses have improved.
The cache was in good condition. We signed the log and replaced the container as found.
Thanks steeba for the cache.
