Took a lot of time here, looked everywhere, did not find. Lovely walk though. Please replace or review the cache.
Spent a good amount of time trying to find...area looks disturbed may need to be replaced
The area was a bit of a mess. Looks like someone spent new year's Eve up here. Broken glass and toilet paper around the place.
We think we found the right site and have sent a photo & message to the CO for confirmation. Kutgw
OCW EverestHigh and MaxAdventurer on a trip south. Quickly found at GZ. I hope it lasts before some stickler for the rules knocks it. Nice spot. TFTC

We enjoyed the walk along the beach, picking up two other caches along the way as well. Now, how do we find a cache in the bush without a hint? Lucky. Dan looked under something and found a well constructed cover. TFTC
Spending some time in Culburra Beach with the geofamily. Better do some caching as well. A quick find.

Out with BB and we just started our morning with a brisk kayak adventure! First stop on the way to 2 more. Such a great spot. Will be back for many other caches!
Well disguised cache in a Picturesque spot. The log was in fine condition. Thanks for bringing me here.
Nice walk along the beach with G&T for a quick find. Beautiful area here. TFTC!
Find Number 1244, found at 14:14
The Puzzle event at Callala Bay was a good excuse for a day's caching. After the event, GeoSon NationalSteel and I joined forces to try for some of the caches out towards Myola.
This had been on my to-do list for quite a while, but I didn't want to taclke it on my own. We had a pleasant walk along the beach followed by a quick and easy find. I definitely reckon that this is worth an FP from me.
The log was damp but useable, otherwise the cache was in good condition. We signed the log (sometimes we sign micro logs with G&T or GT) and replaced the container as found
Thanks RiverRuners for the cache.

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!

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!
A very enjoyable walk along the beach to grab this one. Found very quickly thankfully.
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.

Beautiful location. Took about 20 mins to find. Unfortunately the notebook was wet. Dried it out but also unfortunately the pen i took didn't work. Thanks for the cache
Last stop before the Huskisson New Year fire-works. When we approached GZ we thought we might have to give it up for the sake of muggles. Walking around the spit from the beached showed some potential for cover so gave it a try only to be interrupted by a father and son bonding ritual. We'd have to step away and return in a while. By the time we got back it was dark and working by the light of phone-torch we made the find. Coincidentally, at the very moment I removed the log from the container the first skyrocket exploded above us - the show had begun. Signed quickly and headed back out to the beach. Happy New Year!
GZ sure saw some amazing fireworks tonight being New Years Eve. We walked the beach to GZ just before dark. So many people tonight but dodging muggles the cache was found, the log being pulled out just as the first fireworks lit up the sky. A fitting tribute to a fun afternoon of caching down here.

About to cross another item off the bucket list....kayaking in jervis bay!!
But first a cache to find. Gps had me wandering around a little but after 10 min or so i found the clever container. The wind ended up being a little too strong for a pleasamt paddle but ill be back for sure. Couldnt keep the silly grin off my face at managing to get here even for just a few hours. I love finding caches while paddling. Tftc

We're not used to flat walks where we live but as flat walks go, this was tip top. Having been in Huskisson 15 months ago and not found this cache, it was on our to do list. Thanks RiverRuners and good to have met you at the 10th ICC event cache a few weeks back.

Found on our 2016 Vincentia trip. We decided to go kayaking this morning, but as we got to the beach, I realised that I forgot the GPS at the holiday house - damn it! I had a rough idea on where to go though, so once we pulled up on the beach, it took about 10min to get the right spot. We initially did a but too much bushbashing, but we eventually got to a lovely and clear GZ. Such an awesome hide. Unfortunately, as we weren't actually expecting to find this cache, we didn't bring a pen or a camera. I can provide detailed email proof if required, but geocaching is fundamentally an honesty game. Such an awesome container in a lovely spot - great experience. TNLNSL. TFTC!
That well deserved favourite got a little delayed in the bad weather but better late than never eh RiverRunners [:X] [B)]
When we left the car park it was looking like rain so we took rain coats with us. Just as well, by the time we reached the beach the rain cloud was clearly visible across the bay. WE are not fair weather cachers though so we kept on the trail. Then the clouds opened up and the wind was driving it into us from the seaward, never mind the right side of the bod was nice and dry! It was stillpooring down as we approached the GZ. Looking looking wiping rain off glasses looking looking, then the familiar cry here it is from the Newberys team. A very nice cache RiverRunners and it made the long walk in the pouring rain all worth while. The cache is well worth my favourite. We 'observe'd that plenty of thought and work had gone into this one. TFTC TNLN SL and it was time for the long walk back to the car park. Still raining hard and wind off the ocean, well we are wet on both sides now and as predicted the rain stopped as we got to the car park but soon stared again!
The WEEO and I had a fab day of caching down here, and this cache was one of my favourites of the day due to it's location. We have previously done the caches in Husky, and looked forlornly across the channel to the spit and the cache here. Today we found it! That said the weather was really bad, there was very heavy rain as we walked along the beach, but we had gortex on and were in fine spirits joking about getting very wet. Would have been a great one for the geokids on a fine day as there were heaps of shark eggs along the beach and some other interesting stuff to look at.
...and to top it all off, the cache hide had a bit of style and was well made too. Great spot and cache, worth my fav point. TFTC.

Fun little find with the kids on a warm sunny day.
Heaps of people about on the long weekend making the most of the great weather.
It took a while to find this one. But when it was found the kids thought it was great.
Thanks for a bit of fun.

Went for a walk with the rod to try and get some flathead or anything else that would have a bite. Nothing...
Then went in to find this cache, took a little while as it is very well camouflaged.

Very late doing the souvenir hunt and saw this one would fit the bill. A quick and easy find as we approached from an odd angle and the container was tipped just so. SL TNLN TFTC RiverRuners
It was a nice walk this afternoon for TaurusSix and myself. The red seaweed was impressive. Dropped of a TB and retrieved another.

We were so excited to kayak over from huskisson to look for this cache, we didn't bring a pen to sign the log. We loved the cache and the camo. We dropped off Mollie the cat and have taken a photo of the log and her going in. Found with Richo's
Found with jimkath on a visit to Husky. Kayak over not too bad - kayak back a bit tougher!! Great hide, really liked the camo. Remember to take a pen, or some nice cacher might leave a small pencil behind for the future - enough room. TFTC
Awesome cache! Loved the trek up the beach and after scrounging around for a while we found it. Very well hidden and a satisfying find!
Enjoyed this one too! Parked in the car park at the end of the road; headed down the path on the creek side for 50m, before going up some steps to a short bush track which took me across to the beach side of the spit.
I don't think it was low tide, but there was more than enough beach available to stroll the 850m or so to GZ, which was pretty spectacular. I bush-bashed the last 15m, which proved unnecessary, and found a cleverly-constructed hide there. SL&R.
Still can't get my head around why Callala hasn't been given access to Husky via a bridge or road; instead forcing locals to travel 35mins round every time? Perhaps one day! TFTC & a FP from me!

Found with robbieracer66 and cullum68, lots of red weed and port jackson shark eggshells all along the beach....good hide, tftc
Found this on on New Years thus year and forgot to log it I found with mudpig92 it was a bit if a tricky one well hidden TFTC
Took the walk along the beach, a nice time of the day to be doing so. Easy find.
Fantastic effort you have gone to!!! There wasnt a trackable in there as per logs but we left one (wales flag).
Took a while with the iPhone dancing all around, but we found it eventually in partnership with 'ChrissyGee'. No trackable in place, however we did leave one. Thanks RiverRuners for the cache, and making the effort for such a great container!
Wow what an awesome cache. Cannoned over from wollimia for the nye fireworks with sophieheggie after the crowds had cleard we started the search turns out we pretty much park our trusty vessel very close to gz with sophieheggie making the awesome find tftc
Great location! Nice walk along the beach with geosister from Myola to find this holiday cache. TFTC
My first solo kayak trip topped off with this find - my second "Up The Creek" cache (first one was at Patonga). Launched kayak early in morning at Holden St ramp then had glassy conditions for paddle up to Huskisson, water was crystal clear. Made landfall at the sand spit and headed inland and after a brief search found this brilliant cache - very nice work RR!
It's always a pleasure to find a cache that the CO has obviously spent some time and effort on. After the find had morning tea overlooking the bay, in the meantime the wind had picked up significantly making for an adventurous paddle back to the ramp. TNLNSL TFTC.

Kayak expedition with my dad great fun nice camp we found the cache just in time to catch our vessels which started to float away from the turn of tide!:-D TFTC
Did the long walk along the beach from Myola to the point and searched and searched. I had given up and was leaving when I saw something that was not out of place but for some reason asked me to look. Bazzinga, sneaky hide.
We live in a great place, with spots like this. A beautiful creek on one side and the bay on the other with its white sands and crystal clear waters on the other and what about the views.

We walked it in from Myola, enjoying the glorious weather. The cleverly crafted cache was found after a short search, certainly was not what we were expecting . Swapped trackables and signed log. Thanks for a creative cache and for bringing us to this awesome location.

Sneaky little cache . I loved it but the swim from husky almost killed me haha. took an aussie flag geotag
Chuckle. Great location. Great cache construction. A favourite. Brilliant. iPhone 5 got me to within 3 metres. Thanks for the thoughtful cache. Left a red bear tb
After walking down from callala beach I searched and searched. with my phone not helping I went off the compass and soon enough I stumbled onto the cache. Glad I could get this on the last day of the year. TFTC and great camo.time for a swim
Found in tagging along with The Hancock Clan. After a quick look at the radar app we decided that the rain is not going to get us. The water was gorgeous and calm and we found the cache. Fantastic location and the manta ray as a companion for our trip back did top up our experience!
Thank you, RiverRuners, for the cache and thank you, Hancock Clan, for paddling!

Found in the company of the Mad Russians. Being such a beautiful and calm afternoon we decided to get the kayak out and hop across to this one from the jetty. We were there in no time at all but it took a little to locate the cache.
After the duties were done we reboarded our vessel and set off for a quick paddle up to the bay. The water was so incredibly clear; it was like looking into a fish tank! All of a sudden a massive black shadow appeared beneath the kayak and we jumped a mile! It turned out to be a manta ray, probably about 3-4 metres across. Awesome!!! It came right up to the kayak and at one point I felt it could have engulfed us with it's fins either side of the boat. We then followed it for a short while watching it gracefully swim around before it headed off out into the bay. An incredible experience!

While spending the weekend in Callala Beach we walked to the end at Husky. Checked the phone and discovered this nearby cache. Excellent camo and well constructed. TFTC
A nice walk on the beach today! It was even getting hot on the return, but alas I had no swimmers with me. Can imagine the DNF's on this one as I found the cache uncovered? Put it back the way it suppose to be, so the 3 stars are justified again! Very good camo!

Will have to return in winter. Too much tea tree and one of us acquired a tick at Red yesterday so didn't want another one thanks
What a beautiful location, not a sole in sight, cache soon located, nice work. If it as warmer I'd love to go for a swim. Took TB. TFTC
Great afternoon for a walk to do a cache to add to my list. I loved the camo.Very smart river runer. Took a TB Star for a visit and left a star
Was a little unprepared today, will come back another day when I have long pants on....and the massive goanna/lizard is not sunning himself on the path
