Spent some time on this one and came up empty headed along with a lot of others. Might be time to can this one if the owner isn't looking into it!
3/3 DNFs today on Spit-Manly walk. Serious maintenance and updating required.
Been a while between caches. Did this one on a lovely walk from Manly Wharf. Left TB in there. Lovely spot.
not too hard once you read the previous logs. walked from manly wharf. beauty of a spot here! Took the TB TFTC!!!
This cache is a bit off but still really fun. We put a trackage in their for someone to get back to holland. More info on the trackable on its profile. Thanks heaps, Paddy and Marco 
Another cache where the GPS put me spot on the GZ but no cache did I find. I must have covered the whole wall but found nowt except the the "other" non-Geocache, a painted plastic pipe. Gave up on the other caches in the area as an ice cream and the beach were calling after a rather hot Spit to Manley walk. TFTC
A quick lunchtime cache hunt (I work near here).
The hint is awful - this cache has suffered "cache creep" since it was placed by the CO. It is around 7m south and 5m lower in altitude than where the hint takes you. And it's pink, not orange. Sorry if this amounts to "spoiling", but the out-of-date hint was spoiling it for me.

If you dont read the hint, it is in a logical place and not far from the 0m mark. Head down a little 
A little slippery after the heavy rain this weekend but still a top spot and very interesting piece of history glanced over. Have been meaning to do the Spit Walk for a long time. I should be moving up this way soon, so will have time to grab a lot more local caches and Munzees

Easy find - lunchbox size. Phone ran out of battery and we still got it. Team Giles
Had to come back for that one after we ran out of time and patience last time. Persistence is our strength! TFTF
Good fun find with Geodad, interesting to see the stone plaque. TN Left UK1p, TFTC.
Glad we read the notes to tell us it had moved an found quickly. First time ever to this part of the world!!
On the great Manly - Split Walkway this was our first stop. It was a little bit off but QEF.

Cache found by Brookvale Venturers, with me and Wingala along too.
Container has moved slightly from where I first found it, however it was still hidden reasonably, and not far off the coordinates, especially with tree cover throwing the signal off as it always does.
If anything the 'new' hiding spot is better, as it definitely can't be seen from the path.
A slightly wider search and you should have this one without a problem.

Friend couldn't find it so went back with them to make sure it's still there and cache is missing from original spot. This means it's been muggled but if someone has moved it can you please update the coordinates and the hint so geocachers don't look in the wrong spot for a long time and go home disappointed.
Unless this cache has been moved from original spot the hint doesn't help here. Friends seem to also confirm this cache may have been moved or muggled.
TFTC!
It was well hidden-clue was obvious once we found it, but a tad challenging otherwise!

Find made possible with directions given in the HINT...we particularly like the stone gate!
Found on the second attempt. This cache was definitely missing in action when I last checked on December 22. It is a bit of a mystery. Nice to tick this one off. TFTC.
Quick find (the hint was pretty much a giveaway) in a great historical spot. Lots of muggles afoot on this gorgeous holiday weekend, but none followed me off track to the cache. A nice diversion on the Spit-Manly walk--TFTC!
Very pleasant caching experience - scenic location and a decent sized cache in a spot not overflowing with muggles =) TNLN, TFTC. Hope to come do some more caches in this area again in the future!!
Third cache of the day ! What a beautiful morning. TFC Took Travel bug ! Will come with us to our next trip overseas.
A bit of a search and small bush bash....all fun & relatively easy. Great Cache and fun items to swap. We left a magnet and took a Geocoin " Attibute to all Caching Dogs"....will relocate this coin soon.
It was nice to get out and about for a walk along the harbour today after our long walks through Scotland over the last few weeks.
A great day for geocaching.
Thanks Weetbix101

Reperio at 2120.
This was a great little spot to visit, even at night, as the moonlight glistened off the water and made for a nice ambient feeling. Wandered down too far initially, but eventually I made my way to the right spot, and the torchlight bounced off the cache making it fairly easy to find. Would be a very nice spot to visit during the daylight.
Gratias Weetbix101.

Ony 400m from the home i grew up in, so kinda had to go find this one.
Easy find for us tall enough, and yes, a seriously bright little cache.
took mini rubber duck, left army 'action guy'!

Nice quick find to round off a very enjoyable caching day in Manly. TFTC
Approached from the top.
Departed via the bottom.
The brightest cache container I have ever seen!
Cheers.

Finally a success after 2 DNFs. This one couldn't hide very long. The two small caching apprentices were a bit sad that they were too short to find the cache.

Like a previous finder, I spotted this from some distance off - I covered it with some leaves to hind it a little more.
Nice afternoon for a walk - lots of people were out with their dogs (like me), but I was probably the only one there with a dual mysterious aim

Approached from below and container was in plain sight - amazing it was still there. Have covered with a bit of local camo. TFTC
We missed out by a matter of seconds to this one by a bunch of kids.
Great to see how much fun caching bring to both the young and old.
