Perhaps it's been muggled, lots of rubbish and footprints around the coordinates
Same as the cacher before me, looked behind lots of trees and under lots of rocks and specifically under rocks that were behind rocks. I think it's gone. Can you confirm please, CO?
Another day well spent down in Nowra, chipping away at more of the 50km radius.
Found roughly 15% of total remaining hides, which is pretty sweet!
It was quite hot today, hitting 31 degrees, but I managed.
Thanks for another nice day out.

2nd official DNF today.
Came back with GPS and gloves, but GZ seemed to be empty too.
I replaced the rock back under where I think it should be.
I'll return one day

I have a very strong feeling that this one has been muggled.
The GPS, Hint and GZ all lined up.
I found a rock, but there was nothing hiding in the area.
Will most probably need a check, although I'm fairly certain it is missing.

Visiting family and we had a great time walking by the river.
Thanks for hiding the cache and showing us this nice area.

nice day for a walk. i'm sure last time i was up here i could drive right in. nice spot
What a smelly place this is. Thankfully a quick find. TFTC JenneG & Budgy. Left a penny.
Nice easy find to begin the day's walk. Cache was not covered and quite a few youngsters had written in the book and taken a few things. Perhaps it needs to be relocated. Not much in it now so perhaps that will stop them. Recovered with the rock. TFTC. 
One of the simpler caches of this series. I found it uncovered and fully in the open. So I re-hid it as best I could because I could tell where it was supposed to be.
Thanks and Cheers from Browngang

Oh the magic of mushrooms. Must be the grotto seducing us with it's natural beauty. Found very quickly spurred on by muggles approaching. Took: hand grenade, Left: Darth Vader sticker, SL, TFTC paysandu
Nice hide:-) TFTC guys. We couldn't sign the cache sorry, pencil was blunt & we forgot our pen. We managed to dodge the rain.
We had to wait until a few walkers had passed but then soon found the camo and cache. Thanks for this hide and the others, we only had a short time available today and will have to take the full walk next visit.
Found with rathard and purple-me.......no problems with this one.

Great walk on Good Friday. 100% success rate with five Paysandu Grottos (1-3 inc. A's) found. Finished off with the long walk to the western end of the Grotto (and the nagging feeling we may have walked past another one.) 
Having arrived in North Nowra today it did not take long for us to go out and get some caches. Enjoyed the hike and finding this cache. Thanks to paysandu
2nd for the night with Illaroo n Husky Scouts.
Nice light drizzle, long overdue!

Nice easy find to start the day coords were slightly off, but hint made it obvious. TFTC
