Hospital View Nowra, New South Wales, Australia
By Moo&Woo on 16-Sep-10. Waypoint GC2F9EZ

I dropped in here just to get the travel bug for an overseas trip. Definitely missing.

Sick of the druggies. Not worth people finding needles.

I only had my Iphone which was not very accurate, but I crawled all around the rocks and up and down the cliffs here today and found plenty of beer bottles, a broken "walkman" and an orange golf ball but unfortunately no Cache. Trying to find a place for my Jeep Travel Bug to begin his Great Southern adventure direct form Eastern Canada.

Nice view, watch the drop off though.

Memories come flooding back of my childhood in Nowra. The time I visited here in my pubesence to see a young one where she had her appendix out. A pretty vision I will never forget.

(or is that creepy)

Took a few minutes to locate this one.Took travel Bug F1EBB5

Easy find after removing the needle container and loose syringe.
Left travel bug F1EBB5

nice one on my trip to melburne
merci

Quick find, but no TB as indicated TFTC TNLN

It is emabasing realy. Not many people haven found it.We dident even know if we were in the right location. The GPS was a descrase and we did relly fell a bit silly as we r 1 of 3 peole who haven found it! Dont worrie guys we WLL BE BACK!!!

Nice easy find. Wasn't covered well. TFTC

Dropped in.

TFTC SL. Log is wet.

Easy find. Nice view. Removed empty plastic bottle and wrappers. C'mon people caches are not convenient garbage bins. Elizabeth travel bug missing.

Amazing views from this location!

However i would suggest closed in shoes and no little geo kids, as about 15m away from the cache location i found a large pile of needles and other such items that look associated with drug taking. I wasnt game enough try and clean up the mess however if anyone knows who to contact feel free to do so.

Regardless be careful the view is amazing.

This cache has no log, no trackable, not even hidden well. Just waiting to be muggled. Please fix!

Fast driveby with little blue - TFTC

Quick find. Bit wet inside. Tftc.

No log in it, camo very sparse but did my best, needs some lovin.

No log, no camo, but a nice big cache in a nice spot.

My first find! Took us a few minutes to find but got there eventually.

Love this place. So peaceful. TFTC. No trackables here please fix.

Quick grab. Dropped odd TB. TFTC, log book is missing. There was a piece of paper but it will need maintenance .

Great view, well hidden TFTC

Our second ever find. On my birthday! Great view. V windy today.

Nice view

#657 - What a beautiful area along this edge of the river. We were down from Canberra for the dragonboat regatta on Sunday and stayed for an extra day to have a look around the area. Its such a nice place we will be back TNLNSL TFTC

Looked in all the wrong places till I heard "Found it"

Dropped off the Compass Rose GC

Pretty easy find.
Nice views of the river.

TFTC

Easy find when I looked in the most obvious place.. however I didnt do that at first did I
Thanks Moo&Woo

Nice quick one, glad we didn't have to go scrambling down those rocks TFTC

Our first non-find
But that's ok
We live to find
Another day...

marvi9 and geomissus with last light and drizzle upon us we were lucky to find it first go...beware of the proliferation of syringes..yuk! TNLN

A great place for the cache wonderful views and a nice cost spot. The wild flowers are just coming into bloom. Anyone for Golf? TNLN TFTC

Very windy up there today. The cache was exposed, did my best against the wind to hide it again but you may like to check it in a couple of days. TNLN, SL TFTC.

What a great view! Thanks for taking me to this spot in Nowra for a great sunset! TFTC

Easy find for GEOHubby after AUSKICK

tftc daveal

Lunch is over... Thanks for an easy lunch time cache...

A beautiful morning - while staying with our son,"TheHunterGatherers", what better opportunity to reach our 100th find. Everyone either at work, school or attending the CWA of NSW State Conference (as is Mrs Hunters & Collectors).
This is #97, a quick find after parking in the hospital overflow area.
TNLN. Thanks Moo&Woo for bringing me back to this lovely area beside the Shoalhaven.

Found this one uncovered sitting there for all to see placed some cover over to hide from view

Searched too hard, and brought along a new cacher " The Home Wrecka"!!! Took croc left fart putty! Yours truly.

A quick drive by grab, with Just a Cacher, on a run down to Nowra. No muggles around to hamper the search and a quick find on a damp cache so we dried it out a little while signing the log. Some nice views to be had today.

Thanks for the cache, Moo&Woo

We had to drive to Nowra to collect a loom, so, of course we did a bit of caching on the way - AND on the way back!
We found the contents of this cache wet, but the log was dry.
Thanks for the cache, Moo&Woo!

We were getting some interested looks from a muggle walking by as we headed off in search of this one. My friend, who is new to the sport, wandered around looking at the GPSr. He read out the hint and I soon spotted the cache in the likely spot. I almost had it signed and returned before he spotted me There was some water in the bottom of the container, so it might pay to have a little look at it at some stage

TFTC and the views from GZ Moo&Woo


Cheers

Hoojar and I completely over thought the location on this cache. We looked for a while before having any luck.
Cheers.

We overlooked this one on the first couple of paces, and then had the elevation all wrong. Eventually with time running short we fonud the cache in teh first place that we should have looked!

Cheers

Came down to the Hospital for work and ducked across the road for a quick find tftc

This cache really surprised me by its size, a welocme change from the micros we had been finding recently. Great swaps but we just signed log and rehid. Lovely views, TFTC

Number 5 in my nowra invasion today, took a little while to realise it wasnt *below* (where i found alot of sus black boxes) so i went back up and just as i was giving up, the first place i looked revealed to me its true form!!
I was a bit sad that it was filled with KFC rubbish and sauce packets >.> So I took them out. Not sure if a random person raided it and filled it with the rubbish or not. But anyways, was an interesting area! Thanks for the cache!

We found it, after finding a container containing NEEDLES. After opening the container and finding needles, we disposed of them straight away. Dont really want to know what happens down here. The cache was hidden per the hint described. Nice to see a larger container in towns. TFTC Moo&Woo.

Picked up TB2970M.

Found will log later

This is a great location. It was a frustrating cache. It was located well away from GZ and its location didn't match the hint. We moved it to a point closer to GZ and a better match to the Hint. Took Homer Simpson left a bug pencil. TFTC

Fourth of six for the day, but alas no find. Should have read the hint before heading out. We'll be back.

found after a bit of a search left a TB in there....thank you

Got to GZ; iPad's GPS and magnetometer a little confused. Eventually found the cache under a fallen branch. It wasn't covered as well as it could have when I discovered it, so I moved it *slightly* and reused the same fallen branch with plenty more material to cover.

Great view, great cache! TNSL.

Found a while ago while visiting Nowra. We lived in the area many years ago and return regularly. Great locations Thank you for the hide.

Photo of Cam helped

Found this cache while holidaying in Nowra. TFTC

FIRST FIND. Found with prehnite. TFTC

Nice cache also the view.thanks.TNLN

A nice quick find as you can barely miss the container... A nice place to enjoy the view as you sign the log too... [^]

Great to see a good size container in the burbs, not too many places you can get away with it...

Cheers Moo&Woo.

Found this cache at Noon while in Nowra for the weekend for a Rotary Conference ant to visit my Sister. Fabulous views of the river. It is always lovely to rock hop on some sand stone.

Thanks Moo&Woo for the hide.

3697. [font=Comic Sans Ms][green]Views all around I'd say. Top spot for a cache and took the time to admire the scenery and river and all and wasn't just bluffing as it took me a while to hone in on the cache.

GPSr directed me to the cache as if it was magnetic! A quick easy find. Log only. Thanks for the hide.

lots of goodies in this one a swapped a good one

Well the Kalmlittleexplorers decided to head north for the two and a bit weeks of the school holidays, and returned to a town full of new caches!! Awfully frustrating sitting in QLD getting emails that there is a new cache only a few klms from home and there is nothing you can do.

Second find for the day. The area surrounding this cache was fairly quiet today so we were able to pull up directly opposite GZ. It was the geowifes turn to conduct the hunt while i minded the sleeping baby. It was very cold and windy here today so the two older kids went for the hunt but soon returned claiming it was too cold.

Geowife had no trouble locating the cache, even though while she was signing the log a couple walked from the carpark over to the same side as the road as her to see what was going on!

TFTC Moo&Woo!!

Quick find on my way down to Vincentia for a boys weekend!.
TFTC TNLN

Regrettably there was no climbers here today but I have been here on ocassion when climbers and abseilers have been scaling the rocks. I found the cache rather exposed, but after doing my business I hide it a bit better.
Thanks

It's taken a few weeks to get arround to it, but I finally detoured past this one on the way home from work. Made a quick find. Love the container. If only I still had my old Nokia phone I would have loved the swaps too. TNLN. Thanks M&W for yet another great view of our fantastic river.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found this one after an awesome morning at the NSWGC South Coast Invasion event where we met heaps of other cachers from all over NSW! Dropped off Q1C1+1, only to have it picked up again within seconds by another pair of cachers!!! Hope they can help this TB further on its goal ^_^

Must say I really enjoyed the view at this one. Quick find TFTC

Another top spot overlooking the river and our find was made easier with fellow cachers at GZ with the cache in hand. We TB’s thanks.

A nice view and pleasant stroll to an easy find. TFTC

Found and logged at 10:05, While in Nowra for the Geocaching event
Great views over the river
TNLN TFTC

A quick find with SherpaNT & Deputy D0g. Plesae heed the warning abot the cliffs with any Geokids. There is no need to go near the edge. TFTC

Picked up on a cache hunt down south with Bower Bird and DeputyD0g. Didn't take long to have cache in hand, thanks to the abundance of cachers around! TFTC SL

South coast Invasion. I love the way the cliffs over the river are so close to the world. Great spot. Thanks.

The terrain rating had me thinking that this was under a rock overhang. Not so complicated in the end. Big drop down below.

I arrived just as SpinDoc, Richary & Zal were signing it. That brought the difficulty level down to 0.005

Report: Sometimes being a cripple helps. While Rich and Spindoc scaled the cliffs looking in harder then necisary places I pottered around the top of the cliff in my sling. It brought a smile when I found the cache with my foot while kicking some things around. As we all signe the log Mr Darcy again popped up to reap the spoils of our find. This appears to have been one of the most popular caches in Nowra today for the event! Report Ends.

We found Hospital View (GC2F9EZ) on a trip south to attend the Geocaching NSW - South Coast invasion caching event with Bower Bird and SherpaNT, my 13th of 19 finds and my 1412th overall find. Met up with a number of cachers at this one.... TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache, Moo&Woo. Deputy D0g.

Found with Tuena.

Found with Zalgariath and Spindoctors. The high terrain rating has us looking in the wrong spots initially before it was found, we thought more scrambling would be involved. But still it was in hand fairly quickly. Thanks Moo&Woo, nice views over the river from here.

Gave it a try before the event today and came up with 2 containers within 5 minutes, alas neither of them was the correct one and both had a lot of needles in them!!
Gave it another try after the event and turned up with the goods within minutes.

GZ was being over looked by the security guard from the hospital on the other side of the street. We entered the bush a little further up and sneaked back without being seen.

Wonderful location over looking the river and a great big cache container with plenty of goodies!!

A bit of a group visit after our showground meeting.
TNLNSL

Did after the GCNSW event. As I arrived some fellow cachers were just leaving, found it then another group arrived as I was leaving...popular cache today! Thanks.

You can sometimes get lucky and today was no exception to the rule. Surprisingly we located the hide much quicker than expected even though it was very well hidden. We were just lucky today.
Great views from up here it’s just a pity that most of the people that see it are patients or hospital visitors.
Many thanks Moo&Woo for setting the cache and giving us another adventure.

This one was found quicker than expected- thought it might be down the rock a little more. TFTC!

Geoboy waited in the car while I made the discovery, took a bug left nothing TFTC

Found with ihavedreams. 1st for the day. Dropped travel bug. TFTC! excellent views, pity about the clouds though

Good spot to visit with a great view

Left a few stars in the very full container.

Thanks Moo&Woo

Found this one! Yay us. But please beware just before I found the cache I found a sharps container ( plain black box) that anyone could mistake for a cache of they didn't look closely. We took it to the local hospital and disposed of it. Just a worry for the Geokiddies that know they are looking for a 'cache' and run to beat Geomums/dads.

The gizmo had us going around in circles, then the clue kicked in and we soon had the cache in hand. A nice day to be out and about, and a scenic location for a cache; we enjoyed the view as much as the cache. Glad to see the hospital from the outside rather than the inside. Thanks Moo&Woo for the cache.

Initially saw too much of Ben Dover's crack & that was a little to scary. Took a safer option & soon had the goods. Left a coin & a rock. Thanks.
