**This was 1 of 17 caches that was found by me on the 12th of 16 caching days here in Australia. Which also was the 49th of 75 days that my travels thru southeast Asia and Oceania would last.**
That we would be the last visitors was nothing that we had anticipated. As far as I can remember the container and log was OK.
About the rock I would rather call this the dragon rock.
*Together with Ingabo, jsson and Sivun I would spend 16 days in Australia. Our journey started in Melbourne and ended in Sydney. After that I continued to New Zealand while the others headed back towards Melbourne.*
*All in all I did manage to find 263 caches, 9 types, 3 new months and many more statistical fillers.*

Travelling from Wollongong to Sydney we passed by here. We (jsson, peter-tvm, Sivun and myself) logged as IJPS. A day with rain showers now and then.
Thanks for placing a cache for me to enjoy and find.

Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks kenco for the cache in a picturesque location.
Sadly a did not find for us even though we returned twice. Had a poke around but the endless precession of people made it impossible for a good look.
Found on a nice, sunny day in July while on a weekend away with the swoosher21 cache family, 6 very excited kids in total. Tftc
Find Number 1546, found at 11:34
With the current Groundspeak promotion encouraging caching for the numbers, GeoSon NationalSteel and I decided to try for all 100 finds in a two day weekend. The only signifiicant series that neither of us had found was the SST, so we set off down South to try our luck.
This turned out to be a fairly easy find.
The cache was in good condition. We signed the log and replaced the cache as found.

Another nice quick find in this series. This really is a beautiful part of the world. TFTC!
Nice area and even better when there is a cache to be found. Found with Touchstone7 on a weekend away.
Escaping for the weekend with genghicat we've decided to explore the south coast.
After a long day of exploring dirt tracks yesterday, Genghicat and I found ourselves overnighting in Bermagui so today we are heading back to Canberra via the coast.
We were originally attracted here because of the earth cache nearby, but after reading half the exhaustive description and with a low battery we decided we'd much prefer to be tourists than hard core caches. So thanks for placing this. We took some great photos of the area and enjoyed playing with our drone.
Cache was quickly located and is in good condition.

On a holiday on the coast. Our last day here and decided to come and see these amazing rocks including Horse Head Rock. The lookout had surfie muggles galore checking out the surf. Eventually we had a few moments to ourselves. Unfortunately there was a mountain of human excrement in the corner with a sickening smell which completely turned me off looking further. It's a great spot for a cache. No smiley for me today.
### Easter trip 2018 ###
----------
We've planed a trip to Jindabyne this year.
To get there, we took the inland route via Canberra where we've stayed for one night. We've then continued on to Jindabyne and have stopped at many interesting locations on the way there.
We've walkes up to the summit of
Mt Kosciusko on Easter Saturday. We've taken the main range walk up to the summit of 26km total distance. Great challenging hike past the blue lake and many other little mountain lakes.
The view up there was magnificent.
Back in Jindabyne, we've walked around the lake and have visited the sculptures near the lake.
We took the coastal route for the way home back to Sydney staying in Batemans Bay for the night.
We've stopped at many interesting locations and have visited some caches along the way as well
Thank you to all the owners for showing us the places

Find #216 6:55am. Beautiful spot !!! Quick find on my early morning walk, 2nd day of the Easter holidays. Quite a few muggles around. Had to wait a while to rehide the bounty. Not a problem, the view was intoxicating. Thanks for the cache.
The geo family travelled north from our campsite at Eden to explore the coast. We had visited this location some 5 years ago but wanted to bring the geo kids back here today. We had to wait out a few muggles before I had to go over to make the find here today. Signed and replaced as found.
**Thanks kenco for hiding this trad cache for us to find and enjoy**

It must have been the day for it Down at Camel rock. While eighthknox was holding the container A stranger asked if that was the geocache but declined to sign it. Then ass we were leaving another car bearing Geocaching sticker showed up. We watched but they checked out the view and left without signing the log. TFTC
There were mixed thoughts regarding whether this rock resembled a camel - the tune “down at camel rock” became stuck in our heads. We took the coastal route south from here. tftc
Thanks for bringing us to this great location a great beach with a great view

This was a great little find in a beautiful location. Our first cache in a long time!
Definately one hump - depending on from where you look and what you count. The cache wasn't too hard - just had to wait for the mugglers to disappear. TFTC.
First one for today. Sun is out but surf is pretty messy. High tide means no way of walking to camel rock sadly. Think ill walk part of the coastal track rather than kayaking today. Log is damp and disintegrating but still.cirrently usable. Tftc
School holidays have started and that means time for a road trip. Sydney to Mt Gambier via the Little Desert, then back home via the Great Ocean Road, Melbourne and the coast back to Sydney. Caves, rock climbing, cache and lots of photos along the way. Cheers to all the cache owners who placed them along my route. All the ones we found were in good condition unless i have made a note.
Great views of camel rock and the geokids loved seeing the surfer out in the waves. Cache was found safe and dry. TFTC kenco!!!
I spent the weekend camping at Mimosa Rocks National Park and sought out geocaches on the way down and the way back to Canberra. This cache was a straightforward find on the return journey from the coast, made easier by being a fairly large small container rather than a micro. Thank you kenco for installing and maintaining this cache.
We had visited this area about a year ago, but there were people write a GZ so we did not look for the cache Back today and it was quiet in the late afternoon so we made a quick find.
Thanks

Thanks to all the owners says Moorhelmi.

Took a bit of time as muggles abound at this site. The iPad had the co-it's spot on. Signed the log & stealthily replaced. Kutgw

It is a long weekend in Canberra and a welcome trip away as work has been hectic the last few weeks. I was pleased to accept an initiation to stay with fellow geocachers Boeing737 & Jetfuselage (hope you're looking after my plane Will). The south coast is beautiful this time of year, however, with the warmer weather, the reptiles are on the move and I spotted numerous lizards and two black snakes.
I was surprised how quiet it was, I thought there would be a few Canberra cachers about, but no: just me. Forgive the generic logs.
I had trouble finding this one. GPSr was wandering all over the place. It was showing 12M off when I eventually located it.

We tried to find this one earlier in the day but a persistent muggle thwarted our efforts. On our return later on, we had the place to ourselves making it an easy find. TFTC!

#4392 - 16:45; The day had finally arrived to head to the coast with fitzy_65 and mtrax to give the SST and BFH series a run. The initial plans had been hatched with f65 a while ago, with mtrax joining in after a chat about forthcoming plans at a recent event. We had stopped for a couple of caches in Nimmitabel, along with a pie and a coffee at the local bakery before heading on to Bemboka for a couple more. We had started on the main mission of the SST heading north on the Princes Highway, passing through Quaama and Cobargo. Despite a few DNFs along the way we had now completed that part of the mission and were now headed along the Wallaga Lake Road towards Wallaga Lake and then on to Bermagui where we planned to collect some of the local caches and spend the night. This was another quick find and sign in a nice location at the beach near Wallaga Lake. Would have liked to have done the earthcache nearby, but time was getting away from us and we still had a few more on the list for the rest of the day. TFTC kenco
4:43:00 PM: (47 of 53) Find#10370
coords spot on nice spot for a break but getting close to our accomodation for the night getting a bit dark now must press on..
Weekend away mission down south coast mainly for the SST series, the start of the trip down brown mountain boy that was pretty cool and by that I mean cold but once we push out of the mountain it warmed up pretty good to a glorious day, and the drive was pretty good .
Came in from Bega and headed towards bermagui for the night Some where hard and some where easy
Found with Fitzy65 and LuckyL1on
Note need to update some of the D/T to reflect they aren't all the same.
thanks kenco

10745. Found on a weekend run down the coast with mtrax and LuckyL10n to do the SST and BFH series and any other caches in between !
Left Canberra quite early for our run down to the Bega & Bermagui regions. This was the next stop for the trip and one of the bonus caches we were to find. What a lovely view from this one ! Quick find at GZ. Log signed, cache replaced, and we were on our way to the next one. Starting to get a bit dark now.
My thanks to my trip companions and all the cache owners for a great weekend !!
Thanks again kenco !!
