Had a fair chance to search for this one as there weren't that many muggles out here on such a horrible, windy day.
But this one beat us I'm afraid.
All was not lost though as we grabbed the GCA virtual while here.
Thanks.
 
Still can’t find it

We're staying in the Head Lightkeepers' Quarters for a couple of nights, so this one was very close to home. Very nice accommodation next to a beautiful structure, and a great hide overlooking the rocks and ocean.

26-Dec-18
Down south at the Central Coast of NSW for a large family holiday with IolantheK.
This is one of about 20 or so caches we did in the area.
We searched and searched, poured over the log, but it was IolantheK's determination that
payed off [^]
Not an easy cache to search for with so many people using the stairs.

T-Tech and I are holidaying at The Entrance for a week over Christmas with our extended family, and today we have the whole day to go geocaching! Wahoo!

It's been more than 20 years since we were last at Norah Head, and we have some fond memories of family holidays at the caravan park when our kids were little Big Grin Today we made sure to take the walk out to the lighthouse. At GZ T-Tech did a lot of searching while dodging the passing muggles, but as others have said, it wasn't until we took a seat and had a think that we worked out where GZ was. Then in between muggles coming from all directions, I went over to make the grab. TFTC, Whitepaws9.
 
23-Dec-18
On a road trip with my muggle friend from Canberra to Brisbane with a stop to walk the 5night/4day Green Gully Track. So many muggles today that my muggle had to shelter me to quickly get my initials into the log.
Enjoyed the road trip with all its scenery, towns, beaches and wildlife. TFTC

What a magnificent place and great views. We visited the place with a team of -minn, whafe, kimallus and me (jyrkios) on our way from Sydney to Newcastle.

After admiring the views and the stroll around for a while, we found a quiet moment and no muggles around the hiding place. After a quick move I was at the cache and found it in no time. Thanks for showing us this beautiful place. Greetings from Finland and Sydney. Thanks for the cache.
 
19-Oct-18
What an amazing lighthouse and shoreline! After walking around in the sand and admiring the water within the gaps, there was a good quiet time to have a look at this one. Jyrkios quickly picked the container after thinking about the possible locations for a bit. Kimallus, whafe and I were keeping watch during the process. Wink TFTC!

How can you go wrong when there is a rainbow stretched across the sky as you arrive at GZ! We were out for a drive with geograndkids and parents of GeelongCats family and got to this wonderful lighthouse and rock ledges and sea sprays - such fun! SL TFTC Whitepaws9. Log was dry and intact.

Nice find, beautiful location!
 
Lovely day for Geocaching!
Our first cache for this holiday, and found with a niggle member of the family who was intrigued as to what all this Geocaching business was about!

We climbed to the top of the light house and enjoyed the beautiful view. Highly recommend the tour. The lighthouse is the best kept one we've seen - perfectly white.

TFTC, SL, all in good order.

Off on a week away with GeoSnag1. Great to get a way to some place so beautiful. Especially so good to go visit a place with so many caches. Nothing like a relaxed week away with hubby and a little caching thrown in.

This trail was a highlight of our holiday away. Hubby and I also got to take tour of the lighthouse shich I loved o course. The tour is really worth doing.

Norah Head Lighthouse is a great place, with a charming lighthouse overlooking the blue ocean. And as a bonus there were two caches; an earth cache and a traditional.
So this was the second cache at the wonderful lookout point.

Heading for a swim at Soldiers Beach and a detour was made to have a go at this. Not many people around so had time for a look. Initially made a hash of it but when sitting down to have a think the penny dropped as I was staring at something and I made the find. Awesome spot.

I was at the lighthouse looking at the unusual rocks at the base of the cliff. I was with my wife son and 2 grandchildren. Being a Sunday in a long weekend there were muggles all over the place including dozens looking at a few whales reasonably close to the shore. After we had been on the beach for some time we went up to the top again and found there was no one around the area at the top of the stairs. Grandson went to find following my instructions and there it was. Thanks for this one in a lovely area.

Using the phone rather than gps, so the signal bounced all over the place. Eventually found, signed and replaced. Mo muggles while we were searching, but stacks came down the track as we were returning, so we were very lucky to have the place to ourselves for the 10 minutes we searched. TFTC, whitepaws9
