Decided to follow the coast around after finding Wilson’s Beach. A bit of rock hopping and as I got close began to look down and just about tripped over it. A lucky find as I could have walked right past it.
Two partly used log books but all dry. Don’t over tighten the lid. TFTC

tried to come from the path/track side but ran in to some campers blocking our path so attempted the ocean side and had much better luck
Was worried I'd spend ages digging through her rocks, but luckily i spotted some subtle signs of a hidden cache. Another awesome spot along this headland! Thanks heaps
Walked around the rocks from Lobster Bay to Wilson's beach with work colleagues. I love rock hopping so I was in my element. Grabbed this one on the way. Nice, cozy little spot. TFTC!
VERY VERY SNEAKY
THE KOG PAPER IS QUITE WET SOO
GEODADS FIRST FIND

In desperate need of 'Me time' I just picked a direction and drove until I reached a good caching ground. The heavy rain didn't even bother me.
It's been a while since I cached in this area, but with some still waiting for me to find i couldn't resist. The unpleasant weather merit a lot of others away a I only saw a blue tongue lizard on my travels.
Thanks for the cache.

Arrived at GZ to find the previous finder standing close to the cache. I said hello but she ignored me and walked off down the rocks. I quickly found the cache and was very happy to see that it was a very big one. Sadly the items in the cache were all wet, rusted and destroyed. The log book was very wet and I could not sign it without ripping the pages. I used the pen to carve my name on the back cardboard of the logbook. Signed DSD
Geokids found it, thanks for keeping them occupied
Logbook is soaked though

OCW EverestHigh and MaxAdventurer on a trip south. Day 2 of our caching adventure. We took the bush bash option until we spotted the SPOR and it was CIH. The kangaroos aren't the only ones hopping to this place. TFTC
A great roadtrip with friends, always makes for a wonderful time.
Apologies for the generic logs and thanks to all COs for their caches put out for the fun and enjoyment of others.

A late start to a day of caching that stretched into the night. A really nice stroll out Coomies way. TFTC
With another beautiful day free, I decided to head down to Currarong to find the caches in Abrahams Bosom Reserve along Coomie's Walk and the Wreck Walk. It took a little while to get into the swing of things. By late afternoon, we were operating at a decent pace and finding caches without many hassles. Thanks to the Cache Owners for maintaining the caches in the area!
Found with Muppet95 and Co. on an afternoon outing in Currarong. We had a great time walking around Abrahams Bosom Reserve & found a fair amount of caches as a reward. Thanks For The Caches
Our access route was probably not the best we climbed the rocks and found the cache.
Snake skin near by, was a good reminder to keep an eye on surroundings.

Bush bashed to this one where Gill&Tony made a quick find. Better get back to the track now and make up some time. We found a path back to the main track slightly southeast of GZ so we didn't have to double back. TFTC!
Find Number 1252, found at 12:12
GeoSon NationalSteel and I have wanted to tackle this path for some time now. Given the need to find a few caches for the Mary Hyde souvenir, this seemed a good day to go.
Even more rock scrambling, but a fairly easy find - at least compared with the last two. We thought we might have to backtrack to get onto the path, but we found a way to the top.
The cache was in good condition. We took nothing, left nothing, signed the log and replaced the container as found

Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Sorry for the generic log. TNLNSL TFTC
With The Rats soon to be headed North for a few months, it was decided that we needed to squeeze in one more caching day together before his departure. And so it was that Steeba, The Rats and I found ourselves headed to the northern parts of Jervis Bay for a most excellent day of caching. The weather was perfect, the caches enjoyable, and the company stimulating.
We did a lot of walking, a lot of scrambling, and a lot of caching as we made our way from cache to cache.
Thank you to all of the cache owners, and sorry for the boiler-plate logs!
Cheers

Hoojar, stteba and the Rats heading for days catch-up and caching before we head away for a few months holiday. Today we chose to head down south towards Nowra and surrounding suburbs where a plethora of caches had sprung up since my last time down this way. The day started well before sun up and we werestill going after dark.
Thanks to all the cache owners to whom we found your cache today. Apologises for the generic log but it doesn't detract from the fun day we had exploring the Shoalhaven.

Another fine day out with my caching mates Hoojar and The Rats.
We tackled the Currarong headland first, then Callala Bay before light defeated us back in Nowra. Some great bushland and then bay environments during our travels. And some well constructed hides.
Bit of a generic log for most but TFTC!

ACTchil and I took the day off yesterday to spend the weekend at Currarong and grab some caches here before it got too cold. It had rained all night so we were happy when we woke up and we could see blue sky. We had a quick look before setting out and hoping weather would stay ok, clouds started to lurk. This was a hard one and we trekked through lots of bush to find it, we nearly gave up and then ACTchil came up with the goods. I left my 2 personal pathtags for someone to put in their collection. tftc wandering stars
went for a long weekend at Currarong near Jervis Bay with Darzee Di and we got some caches including this one. tftc wandering stars
Found on our trip to Currarong. After figuring out the correct approach to the cache, we hopped across lots and lots of rocks on our journey to GZ - we had to be careful of the approaching high tide though. Once we arrived at GZ, it took us a few minutes to spot the cache in it's hidey hole - nicely sized container! TNLNSL. TFTC wandering stars!
Tftc! Dave of Davaura Inc found with lance91 and Mikhan Inc. left a little surprise for the kinders
Spent the day exploring commies walk and caches all around the area. Found 20 today with 1 DNF on a windless and calm but cloudy and rainy day.
This was find #7. After chasing humpback whales around the point and sitting in a cave/overhang to have a bite to eat we got around to finding this cache. Nice and big, left some swaps TN. tftc

Ahh. How's the Serenity?? (Are you *really* surprised at that quote??)
Again, spoilt for the scenery but co-ords were waaaaaaaay off for this one. Rock-hopping and praying no guard huntsman were in situ, cache was found eventually and log duties conducted. TFTC

An awesome spot- views were fantastic. Spent the afternoon with StumbleTrip. Unfortunately the coords are waaaay way out but carefully picked our way across the rocks. A great site but in need of checking the coords. TFTC
Visited here this afternoon with Seaker200 to pick up the plug TB. Never tire of these views.
#1842 10 of 28 today.
Today I celebrated Canberra Day by heading out of town. I've been eyeing off the fascinatingly named "Abraham's Bosom" reserved out on Jervis Bay. It's about 2 hours away from home so I thought I had heaps of time. Anyway I was a bit ambitious with what I thought I could get done & found I was running out of time. Still, it's a spectacular spot.
Dropped a TB.

Clear a few objects and all is good
The track has become quite overgrown
The cache us in a clear location with a great ocean view

Bit of a fight through the webs to get to this as I left the beech too early. Great viewpoint but no kangaroos.
Today turned out to be the best caching day ever for us in Australia. 32 finds, no dnfs, loads of beautiful views and places, excitement......the tunnel of love....! We met Czech, Austrian and Australian cachers going the opposite way and as always with fellow cachers that was lovely. We also met a young French couple doing a years tour of the continent and perhaps converted another group of muggles to our strange hobby. The caches were a mixture of easy ones and much more difficult ones with a whole range of placing/camouflaging which made the day even more interesting. A huge thanks to all the cache placers.

Search around the shelter for awhile but my phone had me all over the place.after a bit of scratching around I found something hiding away.

After camping back from Eves we thought we would headed up and do the Two 2 Dogs caches and a few others along the way. The track for long sections had more puddles than not with many seeming permanent given the bush bash trails around them and made us wonder how so many of the caches only had a T 1.5 rating even without the puddles or ponds.
Coomies Corner was first and we had to bush bash about 5m to cross parallel track than did not join for another few hundred meters. A short search and a nice bit of camo. Signing done at it was onto the next. TFTC.
Coomies Sandstone Desert was next and another nice bit of camo effort. We completed the signing and kept going. TFTC.
Coomies Among the Heath was also a quick find at the likely spot TFTC,
Seeing the one at the trig was obviously missing it was then out to Beecroft Headland. Some nice views hear and we soon worked out wear we needed to be. Nice to see an ammo can. Sign done and back to the main track. TFTC.
Top of the Steps; Seeing the DNFs made us think to only have a half hearted look as it looked like something was damaged so after a brief look we moved away and scanned some older logs which made us think it was there as there had been a pattern of finds and DNFs. We had a new position in mind and came at it from a different angle had us spot it about 5m away. Just as well we came back. The log was signed and off to The Tunnel of Doom. TFTC.
We have done a number of 2 Dogs caches and they certainly knew how to pick great spots. Well this one was a ripper. We did both the walk around the platform as the seas were slight and the tunnel itself. A bit of thought and we realise the location. Great to see it still going. Log signed and a fav or from us. TFTC
More wet trails and we left the 1.5/1.5 caches plus it would be dark soon and we wanted to get the other 2 Dogs cache. Costal Serendipity was next as we headed to the small beach and then back round over the rocks. This one took a it to find but once approached from the right angle the find was made and the log signed. TFTC.
Back to the track and then off again to the rocks and beach to Wilsons Beach. We found a bucket and thought fantastic a large only to check the cache page. This one took some find but we got there. TFTC.
We then stayed on the beach which was a good move as we headed to Wreck Sight and had spotted the old anchor on Whale Point before. Reading the description it sounded like an equal bush bash from the top or bottom and as we prepared to tackle it from below it was the shorter of the two. Great to sign another 2 Dogs log. TFTC.
The sun was setting fast as we headed for a Fork in the Road and made a quick find after waiting out a passing fisher muggle. TFTC.
We found a torch in the back pack so with fading light headed along the track to pick up Sleeping Rocks as a quick find. TFTC.
Coomies Contour Lines took a little bit to find as the torch was now out. TFTC.
Coomies Blackbutt Heaven was the next quick find by torch. TFTC.
On to AB Boardwalk and we guessed the right location first up for another find. TFTC.
Coomies Lone Little Gum Tree was our last find for the day. TFTC

The fifth find while collecting a few around the northern part of the Beecroft Peninsula. It was getting pretty late by now and my parents had called me as I was on my way to this one, asking for me to come home ASAP. The rain was coming down a little harder now but I still had a couple to grab. I jogged from the previous cache to this one, along the rocks too. Once I arrived at GZ, I began to search frantically. It didn't take the longest to find but it certainly wasn't the shortest! Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC wandering stars!
I think it's great to think about the special people in our lives abd what a spot to do it! Great location! TFTC.
This was tricky. GPS took us to a totally wrong spot first up. We recalculated and then found it. TFTC
Me and the missus had entered the Paddy Palin 2015 52nd Rogaine near Bendalong. Decided to come up here early on the Saturday from Canberra, to find a few caches and enjoy the coastal scenery before competing on Sunday. TFTC.
One of us went the logical way one of us climbed up the rocks.. fantastic cache amazing views! Thanks.
Found on our bushwalking club walk lead by Seaker200.
Thanks for the cache.

Oh, the joys of a rock hop. Great at the time and painful reminder the next day. Never-the-less when you find the cache it makes it all worthwhile .... lovely spot. TFTC wandering stars, SL TNLN
Da haben wir es uns wieder schwerer gemacht, als es eigentlich war. Auf dem Weg zum Cache mit Spinnen "gekämpft".

We walked up to this cache to show my uncle this great spot and to drop the last 2 trackables from Germany. By the way-this is a great cache. Thanks for doing it!!!
Up early to walk the coomie track and visit our most favourite cache. The coastline is spectacular and you feel like you are on the edge of the world here. No one around except a few divers around the rocks. The water is so crystal clear so i guess they have a great view of davey jones locker! Noticed a TB so had to plunder the cache and take the XMAS Cow hostage. Will move her on after a quick trip around the Shoalhaven. Thanks for a wonderful cache Wandering Stars!
After attempting other caches on a lovely bush walk around the Currarong headland we went to Wilsons beach . Beautiful-No bluebottles and March flies super! Then we went to do this cache just around the corner. After a very long search we finally found this big cache at a great location!what a place! We dropped a trackable we brought from Germany and sent it on journey
Thanks for this cache!!
Thanks for this cache!!
This is a nice cache .
We did this cache after we had a little walk to Wilsons beach were we had a nice swim without blue bottles and sand flies .
On the way back home we nearly pasted by the cache so we did it .
The view is very nice and when it is high tide you can hear splashing the water against the rocks .
It took a little time to find the cache because you could hide it every where .
Thank you for the cache
