Arrrhhh. I hate not finding a cache that many others have described as easy. It's my second time here (the first being back in 2009) and my second DNF. The plants have grown lots since my first visit. Hmmm. Just checked recent logs (which I didn't have with me when I was there) - maybe I'm not that incompetent after all. Thanks anyway Team Casho.
 
23-Dec-11
Had a good look but couldn't find it. Can it be confirmed it's still there?
 
16-Dec-11
No luck for us here.
 
19-Nov-11
Looked for 20 minutes and couldn't find. May have been muggled.
 
01-Oct-11
Took a little while to find. High muggle area. There was enoughf wind to go sailing today, went caching instead. tnln tftc

Whilst entering this as a maintenance log, it may be that not much needs be done. It appears some garden work has taken place and the small retaining wall has been partly demolished (vandalism?). My GPSr GZ was to the right by about 2m where there is currently a good foliage cover. The cache was in a relatively open spot which I thought may not be best so I took the liberty to move the cache to the foliage (and where my GZ was!). I didn't think the cache was safe where it was. I hope this action does not meet too much disapproval, and so the owner may like to check the site at some stage.
 
17-Sep-11
For such an easy rated cache, I was nearly a dnf until I found it in what I thought was rather an open position. I moved it to the right from where I found it by a little less than 2m but in a more secure location. See maintenence log. Log only. Thank you.

TFTC. A nice easy cache...sort of. Yes, no clue required but after searching for 5 minutes with no luck, we realised there was another surfer dude on the other side of the street...3mtrs behind where we parked...hahahah

Took the torch because it was getting dark and left memory card with HD photos of where we live, Swansea Heads.

Crossing off a few local caches after the ICC event. Nice easy find but had to remove ever so carefully so as not to scare the blue toungue lizard guarding GZ. Very cute and yes it was real!
 
12-Feb-11
Found this before the get together. Cache guarded by a small blue tongue lizard that had made its home at GZ. Had to go down the road to turn around . Upon return there where two people standing at GZ. Looking for the lizard no doubt TFTC Gotcha16

Found it on my holiday trip across Australia, go by motorbike. It's very cool here.
 
05-Feb-11
Yeah, where was the cooling sea breeze today??
this cute little cache spot started the day. It wasn't too hot at this time but before long it was to the point that we were only looking for drivebys as walking further was instant blisters.
This one started the trend for the day too... PPx2 ended up beating me to the find more times than not Smile
 
05-Feb-11
It seemed like a good idea to go down to the gong with LimeSugarlink today to beat the heat a little
how wrong, such a blast furnace of a day but that didn't stop us, beat LSL to the prize first just by a
outstretched arm.The sculptures quite nice looking...TFTC...SmileSmileRazz

Reperio at 0835. On my home via a bit of a detour back to the ACT, and this one was the next stop. Having spotted the structure across from where I was parked, I was almost off to that one before I realised there were two. Waltzed over to the right one for a quick find.

Gratias.

After my brother found this one recently, he made sure he rubbed it in...... It was only 200metres from my front yard. Having a new born in the house (This is the same newborn that met Mrs Casho about 30 seconds after being born) , well he has consumed alot of my spare time lately, but today we decided to point the pram in the right direction and we had the cache located quite quickly. There was a bit of construction work going on at right at GZ but I have done my best to hide the cache so hopefully it will still be there. TFTC Greg.
 
06-Mar-10
Spotted this one after my good friend and collegue YoungGregB mentioned it to me. So, when passing by from Kiama the other night. Popped in and knocked this one off my to do list. Easy find. The google map photo was quite a help, and as such made the find without the GPS, under the cover of darkness. Great area, have been coming here for some time now and will do again shortly I imagine. Called out "Hello" to YGB, but alas didn't have time to drop in. TFTC!

Hadn't read the description for this one and gps sent us down into the bushes (following an obvious looking trail). Gave up pretty quickly.
 
17-Feb-10
As previous cacher said. Co ords were about 8 mtrs out??? Did not think to take a set and log them just had dry out the container and add a few sheets of dry paper for a temporary log. Will drop the old log off to your place soon. Thanks for the information about sails. TNLN SL TFTC

A quick find right at GZ in a very exposed position but no-one around to see. We used to drive near here through farmlands to the Farm beach. It looked a lot better then.

For some reason this one was more elusive than it should have been. I guess it pays to read the description & the difficulty levels before hunting.
Found whilst on a lightning trip to Kiama to pick up Little Mis Us.

Spent some time in the wrong area,dived too deep, Mrs Winglen came up trumps.

Thanks for the cache.
 
29-Nov-09
Making our way south as the afternoon was coming to an end, we parked close by then could not find the cache. Re-reading the description helped Wink and then I found it, phew only my third find for the day. Lucky I was driver and they relied on me - that expression McPhan has about 'earning your keep' was in the back of my mind! Thanks Team Casho.
 
29-Nov-09
An easy find TFTC
 
29-Nov-09
2611. [font=Trebuchet Ms][green]Well done Winglen on finding this cache a long way from where we were looking. As usual we head first and read later - ooops. Read the cache page and this one instantly becomes easier. I guess that's an issue with interstate raids.

TFTC and the edge.[/green][font=Verdana]
 
25-Nov-09
The hardest part was finding somewhere to park; eventually I opted for the footpath Red Face. Fortunately I wasn't there long, quickly locating the cache and then admiring the silver sail, before making my escape. Thanks for the cache TEAM CASHO
 
20-Nov-09
Had my blind eyes on today. The gizmo wanted me to go down the back. The description was telling me otherwise. I know it should have been easy, but not for me today.
 
04-Nov-09
A quick drive by on the way to the local cinema. Chip made the discovery in drzzley weather, searching was a great way to wash our hands after a greasy dinner Smile Had to really work hard to close the cache container, there is a lot in there for a little cache!

Cheers!

Found this quickly with Hoojar after a brief meal before the movies.

This one took far longer than it should have. The moral of the story is to read the full description of the cache!!!. TFTC.

You know when you drive around and think to yourself "there has to be a cache in there some where". Well that describes this find. Had never looked it up, even though we live around the corner. Thanks. TNLNSL

A nice quick find this morning. Actually meant to go to Holiday ha ha first but with all the new roads ended up at the intersection and grabbed this one first. Nice enjoyable spot for a cache. Thanks TEAM CASHO!
