After heavy rain and flooding, I suspect the cache could have been swept away...
Given the clues and difficulty of the cache, 15 minutes of searching high and low should have yielded something...open to receiving hints as to where the cache should be.

Spent a bit of time looking for this cache but could not find it. Could it have washed away in the recent rain event earlier in Feb? Mozzies were still horrendous so me and The_Cachier gave up looking. Dog enjoyed the walk though!
Great find .. Love geocaching with this man.. thanks virgingeo now you’ve found 23 caches your no longer a Virgin

Did not find, if anyone could let us know where you found it that would be fantastic.
Wooo hooo number 101 and still going for the afternoon with nicolebr76gal and the geokids
Needed to fill some time around Nowra before heading home after the local IGD Event. Easiest agenda for the most grabs in one area, happened to be quite near last week’s bushfire but luckily all caches were safe and logged successfully. Arrow bouncing around the bridge but spotted a familiar colour sitting out in the open as I approached the opposite side. Tucked under a little better once signed.
I swear we seem to be driving round in circles. After a quick walk we arrived at GZ and what a gorgeous little area this is, the nearby preschool would have endless educational benefits. A quick feel and cache was in hand, our official duties were slowed due to passing muggles but soon enough leslturn8 and I were back in the car and off to near by caches.
Ducky and Ribit enjoyed a quick look around but were upset I wouldn’t let them go for a swim

A nice find after going for a ride with Princess Ellie and Grandma. Princess Ellie spied this one first.

We found the container out in the open and the logsheet in the creek. We fished it out and have taken it with us to dry out. We added a new logsheet and repkeced the container out of sight, as per the hint. TFTC
With our group of preschoolers we followed the clues and found it!!!! Super exciting and so much learning....

After arriving in Nowra yesterday afternoon and settling in then walking to some caches it is time to get out in the car and explore.
After returning from the 3 on the walking track on the other side of the road we headed on up the path to check out the Billy Goats. No goats nor trolls today but we did find a cache.

Another day spent down in the Shoalhaven area. This time I visited North Nowra, Bomaderry, and Shoalhaven Heads. Made a good mark on the map - finding nearly all of the caches attempted today. Once again, I met up with Bonfire7 and we had a great day outdoors! Thank you to all the Cache Owners for an enjoyable day trip.
The cache is back, with a few days to spare before it's 5th year anniversary...
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

Another DNF to add to this one.
This time I had an extra set of eyes, and with the last finders log... we still couldn't come up with the find.
Will put this one on the back-burner for a little while

Another marvellous find by salplus3 geokid. Needs to get a bit down and dirty.
Magnets have come detached and no longer able to be placed in original location. Moved to nearby broken slats
I grabbed a dozen quick caches in a couple of hours this afternoon. It was my first visit to this part of the world in ages. TFTC
No luck today,
Muggle kids hanging around and climbing under bridge.
Had to wait until the family took their sweet time to leave the area.
Went in for a look, couldn't find anything of interest, before they family then returned back here.
So I clambered up and a quick "hi, how are you?" to assure them I was friendly and harmless - not a pleasing response.
Left the area fairly quick soon after 5 kids eyes, and 3 adults being concerned with my presence.
End of the bridge is also broken/exposed. Might need a check

Because I was looking for a small, it took ages to eventually turn up. I'm sure most cachers would consider this to be a micro container.
Finally managed to get this one. Had been there before but lots of muggles on the track. Such a hidden gem in Nowra TFTC
Not sure what happened here but we needed three different attempts to find this one. Finally Jay got her feet wet which wasn't really needed and the cache was soon in hand. Thanks for giving us a bit of a challenge.
Nice little creek wander, & the Gruff / Billy found.
Creek running very well considering all the rain.
