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.

After finding the Harbourfront cache, we walked over to the picnic area and quickly found the cache. Plenty of muggles on a Saturday afternoon. We signed the log (which is getting full)and returned the container to its resting place. Thanks for the cache.

As it is holiday time, decided to have a 'geoday' with Halcyon123 and Happy Uke. This time we decided to try for some near my home grounds. Ended up with 7 finds out of 9 attempts, pretty pleased with that effort!!!

Had geokid with us, so thought we were set for some camouflage while hunting this cache - but it was made a little more difficult by part of the area being roped off due to work. Still managed to nonchalantly grab the cache though. TFTC

Not really a DNF as the Splash'N'Dash Aquathon finish line was set up right at GZ so searching around the wires without looking suspicious was out of the question. The official sitting nearby was giving me some strange looks, so I abandoned my attempt until another time. Will have to wait until I return to The Gong fora visit.

I found this to be very difficult as I believe it needs a clue to assist the find for people who don't have a GPS but otherwise great spot! 1/4 for the day

Found after a picnic nearby with a fantastic view. We can't get over how you can park and picnic for free so close to the beach; in Europe you'd pay a fortune to park in a place like this!

Two muggles with me who were fascinated. Thanks for something to do on an afternoon drive in W'gong.

Coming out to Wollongong from Canberra for a mini two day trip finding geocaches along the way Smile

Greatly appreciate the maintenance you did on this one Krafty Charlie Smile It was great to be able to sign a fresh log rather than a full one as lots of micros contain!

Sneaky little hiding spot, coords were in the middle of the park so it was obvious the only place it could be haha.

Thanks for bringing me to this park!
