Very damp log, paper has disintegrated. Added another piece of paper but had no other materials to rescue container. Tftc
Found with 'just pants' and geo-dog. Beautiful spot, saw some seals playing down below. Unable to sign as we both forgot a pen. Attached photo of log
Great beautiful location. We took the long way to get there, which is walking in from the beach from the north. Lots of rock scrambling and bouldering. Not recommended during high ride or for the clumsy footed or the light hearted adventurers. But eventually we scrambled our way from the rocks up to the platform. Great bit of afternoon adventure!
The hint helped to keep me from jumping the barrier thinking the cache may have been hidden down under! An beautiful sunny day with almost no wind. Had the binoculars working overtime however, and unfortunately, no whales to be found. Well worth a visit. TFTC
Found with DogBoyOz. A long weekend down the coast to a new area for us, so a day's exploring and caching was in order.
This was the first cache of the day. No whales but plenty of muggles, which made it hard to retrieve and replace the cache, which was done between waves (of muggles, not water).
Afterwards we ventured down into the rocks below via the nearby park. Fascinating formations. Loved the lava bubbles and the holes they left.

Windy day find, log almost blew away... Dunno what I was doing last time a had a little look for this one, maybe I had to abandon the search due to muggles... 
TFTC - a fave spot! Left my first TravelBug — TB651ZD. Live long, little bug!This entry was edited by loopycacher on Thursday, 24 April 2014 at 13:07:33 UTC.
Thanks Liz and Bruce, your tin still working! No whales today, no surprise there. Very windy, great sea colour and familiar type of street layout, thank you Walter Burley Griffin.
The damp day did not discourage us from our caching activities though some sunshine would have been nice. We enjoyed exploring the different areas particularly the coastal walking tracks which provided a challenge in terrain and cache hides. The scenery was totally awesome and finding caches in these sorts of areas reminded us what it was that drew us into caching in the first place. Fav point allloc. we also replaced the eclipse tin with a new one with a magnet because the other one had lost its lid. Thanks to RiverRuners
Very windy. Great views. Seas wild. Locals jumping off rocks even wilder. Found after search. TFTC
Didn't see any whales, but a couple of dolphins were going past when we arrived. Awesome views here.

Took a while to find this one. Very very windy. Left feeling quite rattled. But found it!
Quick find. Lovely spot on a hot day. great breeze blowing today. Unfortunatley no pen to sign. Container could do with a lid.
Staying around here for a couple of days so I thought that I would grab this one. What a beautiful headland 270 degree view of the pacific ocean!. Got my hands on that which is to be found without too much trouble although a muggle turned up in the middle of the proceedings and that slowed things down a bit. The really really wonderful bit though is that we got to see some humpbacks breaching in the distance as they made their way South . Lovely just Lovely ! TFTC RiverRunners
Had no idea where it was! Only a kilometre down the road from where I live so I'll try again.
We came down here the other day when it was blowing a gale and pouring rain and decided we would come back at a later date. So today was the day, it was unbelievable how busy it was and we had to wait half hour before we could attempt it. Didn't get to look for long before another muggle arrived, but she caught me in the act before I could stand up. Anyway next thing she says is "are you looking for the geo thing" so thankfully it was a friendly face. Had a long chat signed the log, and we were off but no whales today just a lonely seal tftc
A cool cache in a place I have visited many times before! The clue was very helpful. The cache was missing its lid, but the log was in good condition found with geoscoutdan
found with geoscoutdanFantastic location, spent quite a while looking out to sea and the surrounds.
Gets a favorite RiverRuners.

Thanks again RiverRuners !

Struggled briefly until GeoNiece asked 'What size is it?'. Then when I checked, I changed where I was looking and found it quickly.
Others have talked about the wind, but today it was beautifully still. GeoSon reckoned he saw a whale, but I think it is about 5 months early

A few day's caching and lounging around Jervis Bay with Bettyboo3747.
Great view from GZ. Unfortunately, we were not here at the right time of year to get the whales either coming or going.
A bit of grovelling around and Bettyboo had the cache in hand.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 3031. Robmc and I are spending a couple of days at Green Patch and fitting in some caching too. We are visiting further afield today. It was rather wild, cool and windy here and the magpies thought we had brought them lunch. They hopped around after us. This one took us a little while but with one last look and feel I had it in hand. Nicely camouflaged here. TFTC RiverRuners.
Took longer than it should but after almost giving up I stood back and spotted the container, SL, TNLN, TFTC
What a beautiful location! Cache found quickly, thanks for bringing us here.

Nearly got blown off the lookout but the view and the cache made it worth hanging on. TFTC.
TFTC!! Nice trip down the coast, we came to this look out, and then checked and realised there was a cache here! Nice surprise!
I heard from the locals that there whales off the point today. Standing room only on the platform this afternoon.
Beautiful spot. No whales though. How many people stopped and turned when told that theres heaps of whales out there.......but their under the water.

Plenty of whales here today, but they were all under the water.
This truly is a magnificent place though.
Many thanks for sharing this place with us RiverRuners.

Quite a few muggles at other lookouts but fortunately we had this spot to ourselves making it an easy find.

Found this one on the ground. We assume it should be stuck to something, the magnet seems very weak. No whales today it must have been too cold for them too. JenneG and Budgy
Took just on an hour to find & replace this & its not even the whale watching season. They were lined up with people waiting their turn, me included but I needed them to ....Gave up & went down the road then back here. Fair dinkum. Couldn't find it & always watching over my shoulder. Then I spied it - on the ground. I have no idea where it should have been despite feeling around so left it where I found it. Would have liked to have been here a few days ago, perhaps. Thanks RiverRunners.
A bit windy but lots of sunshine, view from here excellent. Found after a brief search. Thanks.
Well hidden..I missed it..my caching brother found it where I had already looked..night caching..must return to see this spot during the day..looks beautiful!..TFTC RiverRuners
Very windy return to a place I remember very fondly. Had a few amorous encounters up here back in the day. On a trip back to visit family in Culburra and Orient Point. Tnln tftc cheers
