By Rock-hopper on 05-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2M390

Sneaky little hide, removing the spider webs will help you find this one! Log tightly rolled up and put back neatly. TFTC

Found tyftc. There was a guy mowing when we found it, so we had to be super stealthy.

Stopping to stretch our legs on the way to the event tomorrow. Lucky we carry tweezers in the car, a quick find by Mr Minion. Log is full . Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl

A lovely walk around NowraTFTC

What a beautiful and hot day for geocaching today. We found it

Nice area and thanks for leading us here

Find and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

Quick find as the sun set
Wasn’t enough room for the date in my log so just stamped it with my username

Very interesting stuff about the most history building in Nowra! Couldn’t see it in the dark though

Signed and replaced as found

TFTC Rock-Hopper!

I found it

Found it after having a burger at the awesome Three Pots Cafe

TFTC. Easy find near the motel.

Yes walking from the cp around the corner I thought there should be a cache here. No pen or anything so not signed the log. Tftc

Completing the nearby Lab cache we found your cache along the way.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Tweezers eouldbif helped

Found by my son
We were in the car ready to give up but went for one last look. Moved the spider webs a boom found it. Very tiny but great !

Virtually parked 7 meters from GZ . Interesting spot to have this significant bit of history and it’s nicely maintained. Note the log is almost full . Thanks for bringing me here .TFTC

Geowife got an early Christmas present if a massage at a nearby beauty clinic and so I got an early treat if about 90 minutes to go caching in Nowra. Met some interesting locals and found most of the caches I looked for (and started yet another adventure lab).

This was the first on the back streets near where I started. An interesting location and a quick find. Read the sign on the nearby graves while I signed the log - didn’t realise the fence included barbed wire until I leaned against it!
Cache all good here.

Gotcha - Found easy enough. Tftc

Nice quick find. TFTC

Very quick xx

A quick find but it takes much longer to re-roll the log

Exploring the South Coast for a few days. Lots of new houses around here, quick find in the obvious spot, all is well.
Thanks for the cache

A quick find after reading a bit about Mr. Graham and visiting the grave yard. TFTC!

Thanks for the history lesson with this one. Always appreciate some extra info!

Nice little one! TFTC

Nice little park and grab

Nice and small

Another awesome park and grab

I love a good lockdown park & grab, especially in a place where there is something worthwhile to discover.
TFTC

Wicked, quick little find

Never knew about this little area before and a great hide. Tftc

A very tiny log, so I only signed GW. Cache and log are okay, with still room on the log. TFTC Rock-hopper.

A nice quick park and grab in a simple location. Lots of works going on here. Tftc

Tiniest one I’ve ever found! And I never knew these graves were here. Thanks for the history lesson

Cleared away spiderwebs for the next to find

A very interesting location. TFTC

Got my hands on it but, with 2 kids in the car didnt have the time or patience to sign such a small thing. Tftc

Found it!

Looked everywhere but the sign I went to go back to my car and saw it. My first micro find! Yay!

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.

Back in our home town for a day's caching. Can see a few changes in this spot

   CUT AND PASTE SECTION
Streak day 67
Below is a blurb about us.
We are trying to get a badge from Project-GC for writing found log files of 100 words or more. Once we get this badge we will stop writing this. We are also trying to
get badges for adding photos to our found logs.
We Started caching in December 2019 and by January 2020 we were hooked. As we are on the road full time (living in a caravan), caching fits in well with this lifestyle.
It is taking us to places that we would normally not have gone.
When we move to a new place we also look at what caches are in the area and how many days we will need to be there to get the caches we want.

Interesting place! Thanks for bringing us here FP TFTC

Sneaky find.. TFTC

A quick find while driving around locating caches to return jewels to the museum for Mystery at the Museum.
Stood and read the sign while signing the log.
Thanks for the hide Rock-hopper.

Found by Mary and David at 14:45. A FP immediately for bringing us to this spot. Mary loves cemeteries, even tiny ones like this, for the symbolism of the headstone designs, and the social history to be found on the epitaphs. Thinking of little Hermiony Ivy, who was called Lovely, and who died aged only 7. We did see the house from another vantage point. Definitely haven't ever seen a photo displayed like that before. Our thanks to Rock-hopper.

Having to make a quick trip to Nowra, I thought I'd take advantage and snag a few smiles along the way, shame the weather didn't share my enthusiasm.


Was not expecting to find this as I pulled up. Looked in all the difficult places first then the find was made

TFTC

?

Very small. TFTC

Sneaky

Tftc making the most of a sunny autumn day

Quick find for Matilda of the Bomaderry Bandits!

Nice quick find. Interesting spot with a hopefully protected graveyard in what is now a new residential estate.
TFTC

Found with *Throsbyonchurch* and *Little Kitten*

Found while OCW *Throsbyonchurch* and *DustyJasperJet* Thanks for the cache hide. SL and returned cache to where we found it. ♡♡☆☆

Found -- 8:08 pm -- Thanks for the hunt and Thanks for bringing us here to this location Rock-hopper.

**Cache Condition:** Good.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
**Trackables:** None seen in this cache today.

**The Cache**
SL and returned cache to its hide'y hole. Not as quick a find as could have been. An interesting location. You actually can't see Graham Lodge from GZ anymore it has been overshadowed. I think the homeowner opposite was watching us and we didn't know as when we left we saw someone sitting in their upstairs room looking out over us while having a meal or watching tv, I didn't take too much notice.

**The Day**
OCW *Little Kitten* and *DustyJapserJet*. A quick trip down the south coast and back. My companions wanted to visit a friend, much to my desire not to, I wanted to cache Sussex Inlet and clean up the map that area of the map. Being the lovely person I am, I relented and we went visiting. By the time we arrived in Nowra it was late. There was no way I was leaving town without a cache find.

10 = 9 1 0 [8)] not attempted.

***Respect peoples caches - money, time and effort that has gone into them.***

Nice hide. Another interesting fact about this area. TFTC.

Never knew about this graveyard in my 30yrs here. TFTC

Nice cache, thanks!!

I’m on my way back up the coast today and after grabbing a cache out in the bush i came and found this one.
It took me much longer to locate this one than it should have. The coords are spot on and i knew it had to be there somewhere but it seemed i checked everywhere else 3 times first.
Thanks.

Thanks heaps!

Love looking at the old graveyards

Another place we would probably never have seen but for Geocaching. Thanks for the experience Rock-hopper. Loved the glass photograph. Fav point from us. Kutgw

Tftc

Found it.

Awesome! My second find yet and it’s adorable!

Having driven from Canberra yesterday I've spent a bit of time exploring nowra. Now it's time to head towards home.

Cache found quickly in good condition Tftc
Late log. Found in my history.

Traveling the long way to Melbourne. Tftc

very old, wondering why it is still there, TFTC

.

Geokid’s good eyes I’m dimming light found this tiny little beauty. Definitely last for today TFTC

On a epic bushwalk today. through the semiurbans. Got this sneaky cache to show for it. Great hisotry. I blew the mind of some friends who didnt know it was here

This is the smallest one me and my son have ever found, the coordinates where so accurate tho which was great

This is our 2nd day in Nowra. We have driven through Nowra a number of times on our travels north away from the Victorian winter, but this is the first time we have actually stopped here. We are having a great time exploring the area and seeing the sights thanks to our own tailor made geo tour. What better way to get to know a place than thru the locals knowledge. So thanks to all the CO's that have hidden caches for us to find.
The coords were spot on but it still took us a few good looks before we finally spotted this nano.
TFTC

Smaller then expected but remember name James grayam

Found it

Very interesting history. Took me a lot longer than it should have. Massive case of cache blindness. TFTC

Quick finf. But had to get pass the guardian of the cache. A big not so friendly spider. But all well that ends well. TFTC

A quick find thanks to accurate coordinates. Then we wandered over to check out the graves. There is something really spooky about these old graves that are starting to collapse.
Thanks.

Another good find on a geocaching holiday road trip.
Enjoyed visiting the caches in this area. TFTC

Could only find one nano container at site.

Don't understand why there are two cache containers here.
Signed the one that wasn't full.

TFTC
Ironbark.

Found with The Matetrix on a bit of a road/camping/hiking trip. Most interesting. Log full, no room to sign. Took photo. TNLNSL TFTC

Took a long while but at last found it TFTC

Easy park n grab.
OCWF SL TFTC

For me, nano's are never an easy find. But stopped past here while tooling about town on other errands. Took a few moments but came up good in the end. TFTC.

*Live logging*
Found with sesblocker!
What a great day for caching in Nowra.
Cemeteries are a favourite place for a cache, even small Cemeteries with nano caches Lol.
Thank you Rock-hopper for bringing us here.

Cool

Spent the afternoon walking around Nowra, scoping out as many caches as we could.
This one was very easy and we were able to find instantly.
However, the pen was not working on this paper so we were not able to sign.

Short walk from Visitors info centre to grab this one, log is full and needs replacing. TFTC

Found it with Gary's help TFTC

It is a shame that responsibility for the management of landscapes around significant heritage buildings like this are, for the most part, left to local councils. Nice spot nevertheless. Nothing taken, nothing left. TFTC.

Early morning after sleeping uncomfortably in the back of my X Trail as all the hotels were booked out, I went in search of morning life giving potions, coffee. However nothing was open. In my hunt for breakfast I managed to take a couple of side-tracks and grab a couple of caches as well.
This one was nice and easy, perfect for one whose mannerisms resembled that of a zombie at this time of the morning.
Thanks for the cache.
