I was not easy to find

Searched around area could not find

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU.

couldnt find it in or outside the church grounds, lovely spot though

With the geomistress, referred to most recent photo and geocache was not hanging there on the tree

Had a very long look no luck

TFTC found on our way to Batemans bay

Very hard but fun

sadly log totally soaked lovely old church though thanks

A trip to check out some of the awesome places in NSW and grab some old caches. TFTC.
A nice quick find. No chicken scratching.

#1565 Spotted this one on the map a week or so ago and knew we’d be heading between Nowra and Berry or vice versa at least once or twice during our trip so made sure to keep it in mind. Today we were heading back to Nowra from Berry and made use of the exit from the highway to reach GZ. A relatively quick find upon arrival that didn’t have us fluffing about for too long. Now back onto the road. Thanks Rock Hopper for placing this one!

#3403 Travelling South from Berry to Nowra, we made use of the exit to have a look for this one. Coords were good and cache was quickly spotted. Thanks Rock-hopper for the cache.

Like an earlier finder it was necessary to enter the grounds because of the outside passage being bloccke4d by gardening refuse.
The cache was in plain view from inside the fence and would have been easily accessible from outside if not for the tree cuttings.

Was right near us the whole time and didn’t see it

A quick find whilst checking out this beautiful corner of Australia
Log saturated needs replacement
Cool spot
TFTC

When we arrived, there was a fete on at the church, we walked around the fence line, had to jump the fence, as a lot of rubbish is on the ground. After a short while I noticed something we were looking for, stamped log and replaced, thanks to Rock-hopper.

TFTC,
Passing by for a weekend down south and collecting a few caches.
Nana nel found this one.

Exploring the South Coast for a few days. As mentioned by previous finders, log is soaking.
Thanks for the cache

Pretty spot but no find for me.

Found on the 13/06/2022. Was accessible from both inside and outside church groups but due to the over growth it was easier to retrieve it from inside the church grounds. We didn’t leave any name on the log as it was way to soggy to remove.

Couldn’t find it after 10+ mins of searching. Pretty stop though

Lovely little church , thanks for bringing me here , great views . The cache was easily spotted from just inside the grounds on the fence line . Afraid the log is quite wet , very difficult to write . TFTC rock-hopper

Easy find once I knew it was outside the church grounds - still definitely most easily viewed and accessed from inside of them though!
Understandably Soppy log so here’s a photo

A beautiful historic spot! Thanks for bringing me here Rock-Hopper!

TFTC!

My 2nd 2'sday find to earn the souvenir. Yay!
Needed something easy & close to home.

once we stepped outside the church grounds was an easy find tftc

woohoo we come here every year and this year we finally found it

Found on our way home from a weekend away, with grandma_1

The GPS jumped all over and the husband needed a no.2 so have to come back.

Quick park and grab tftc

God has forgiven me for my sins now i just hang

I missed church by one day, so now I'm hanging around the tree

Easy find

Woohoo another morning find!

have passed this cache many times and always told myself, next time i will get that smile.
today was the day that I finally claimed it.

Quick stop and grab. TFTC!

Found today with Gracey303033. Also corrected Scott_Thommos date (wrote 20 instead of 21)

A great find with oliverowens

What a great place for my first unloved cache! I had a bit of a heart attack moment when I dropped the cache and lost it in the grass! Thank god I saw a bit of shine reflecting from the sun, would have been a bad time messaging the CO saying I'd lost their cache! Tftc!

was too hard and too hot

We're free from the Covid lockdown now, so happy caching!

Sorry, but I'm disabling all my caches while this COVID 19 lockdown is in place. Hopefully we'll all be able to be out and about before too long.

Cache replaced, looks like original tree has been removed, so cache replaced in similar location.

Gave it 10 then gave up. Have people waiting for me.

We looked for half an hour and sadly no find for us today. The fires in Nowra did catch our attention

2nd attempt finally found it! I don’t think it was where it was put originally due to what the description said but I’m unsure, I just placed it back where I found it, tftc!

Finally found this one after the second attempt this one was a hard one

Wow this has definitely got the better of us today!! Searched and searched could not find even went through all prior logs and it was found twice today!!!!! And with a pic of what it looked like! When we don’t have a food coma and lacking in caffeine we will come back to find this little bugger! ️

Found by Mary and David at 13:00. Glad to have met you at "The Gong" and passed on our pathtags. Sorry that the Mega is over and now we are heading slowly back to maccamob HQ. Found GZ surrounded by orange flags marking off the Environmental Protection Zone for the road workers, but still able to access the cache. A FP for showing us this beautiful little old church. Still being used for worship, too. Our thanks to Rock-hopper.

About to give up as the showers started , then spotted it . CIH.
Had to use the tree cover to get back to my car without getting too wet.
Thanks for the cache.

Have to try again when we have more time

Gotcha - Found with a bit of searching. Tftc

Yay! Trying to keep my slump at less than the 19 day record (from April 2014) is proving difficult this year - my geomojo has well and truly disappeared. Traveling to a different neck of the woods today meant I had a chance at new territory but we got talking and only had time for one - but we DNFed it. After a quick food stop on the way home I saw this one on the map and said let’s do it. On approaching GZ I saw some temporary “decorations” and wondered if this would also be a DNF, but after disregarding my preconceived notion as to what this one would be, I soon found the actual hide. Thank you! And thank you for the celebratory bunting, that’s why it’s there, right?!

Good find. Nice views and church.
Thanks

Great spot. Pretty views. Beautiful old church. TFTC

No luck today. There is “danger tape” around the fence line. Looks like possible council work happening there. So hopefully hasn’t been disturbed. Will try another time.

No luck here today.....

Found with the hitchiker

Quick little find before Sunday mass

In a break between showers i was able to pull off the highway and find this one today.
Having had a blue frownie face on this one for a while its good to turn it into a yellow smilie.
Thanks.

Nice camo TFTC

Well camouflaged fun cache

Easy find

Very tricky! TFTC

Spotted this little sucker after a short search. Tftc

I had a good look but couldn’t locate it today. I’ll have to come back again some other time.

I'm on a course at HMAS Creswell for three weeks. My new friends had never heard of geocaching, so we set out to get a few during our day trip to Berry. This was the first geocache we looked for, but didn't have any luck. I was disinclined to spend too much time looking for it, when my friends had never found one, and needed a good high to get them going...

OCW the Bebes. Another stop off on our way up to Sydney. Found the right location and a quick search had CIH. Tftc

Heading home after a lovely weekend at Currarong with PelDroedGwin, couldn’t resist stopping here for one more.

A beautiful view from here

Grabbed some free mandarins from the neighbours too

Tftc

Good spot

Great geo! Took a while and lost our pen looking for it..here’s proof

A nice place to visit as we drove home from Callala Bay. Nano in the desription had us confused as we expected something magnetic. However, Sue managed to see the cache and Dan gave her a geocuddle. TFTC

Very easy but good fun lots of grasshoppers!

Dnf 2nd Dnf here

Yep

First one for the month on the first day of the month. I haven’t been able to do much caching lately so it was nice to stop and check this sneaky little one out. TFTC

Found with mitch respect

Out with WEEO on our way to Nowra. A nice country church but we had to be quiet as there was a service in progress. Mrs S spotted it eventually.

Thanks Rock-hopper.

Well camouflaged!! TFTF - Homeward bound #12

In Kangaroo Valley for a week long holiday with the family. Today we decided to take an afternoon drive down to Nowra, then Berry and back. Easy find and met a couple of other cachers as well. Thanks Rock-hopper.

Found with Han. Thanks for the find.
