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.
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.
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.
Found on the way to Goulburn and beyond on a crazy caching weekend away with PD, many thanks for the hide.

Parked just as we rounded the corner not far from GZ. Deb quickly had the cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC.
The cache was an easy find, if somewhat exposed, so after doing the cache duties I rehid it a little better. Thanks TC, how goes country living?
Thanks team casho for this cache, have driven past this area many times not knowing there was a cache there. a quick and easy find for me and my son today. took the co jeep tb and put some kids stuff in the cache. SL TFTC
Nice easy find. sat under the trees and had a paddle pop our teacher bought for us.....YUM!

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.

Our first Ozzie find, kinda different, while being aware of the wildlife. We are so lucky not to have to worry about snakes/spiders/geckos.

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!
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.
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

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...

Tftc. Great spot. Great for kids to find. Took bug and whistle, left small soft toy.
Quick find but hard to be stealthy so had to hide behind the structure to do the signing. TFTC TNLN
Quick find en-route home. Tried to be as discrete as possible, but this is a REALLY busy roundabout these days!

Kiama 10. I was a bit worried about the possibilities as we approached this one, but as it turns out there was a different solution. Thanks.

Thank for the cache; came with a few friends on the way to drop one home. Good spot, watch out for broken glass!
This was our 4038th overall find.
Found at about 5:55 PM. Found this one on our way out to find a few caches tonight. Took a bit to locate but got there in the end.
Thanks to TEAM CASHO for the cache.

did this one late at night and eventually guessed where the only real place it could be. TFTC!
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.

Don't get down this way much so I grabbed the opportunity to do some of the Shellharbour caches. This was nice and easy. Quick poke here and there revealed the cache. Dropped a coin and log signed.

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.
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.
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.
A very quick find and drop a Baby Elephant from "the Old ?Swan Lake Cache. thanks Team Casho
So we were on dark because it is a pretty busy little place. Look stop look stop look stop look found TFTC
Found during our 2010 Wagga to Wollongong Caching tour. The tour was conducted over 5 days taking in the various sites and towns situated between these two cities.
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.

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 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.
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.

The hardest part was finding somewhere to park; eventually I opted for the footpath . 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

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.
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 Had to really work hard to close the cache container, there is a lot in there for a little cache!
Cheers!

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!
