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.

Great hide. Spiky plants ouch. Lid on tube starting to deteriorate - needs maintenance soon
Found it together with vogi84 during our honeymoon in Australia. Greetings from Switzerland. Today we drove from Coffs Harbour to Leura. Nice lighthouse and nice place! TFTC
Zusammen mit Fränzi88 auf unser Flitterwochen-Reise durch Australien gefunden! Danke fürs Auslegen!
Found after making the husband wait till all the muggles had left only to realise our pen was dead can describe cache and location to owner if needed. A beautiful spot! TFTC
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.
TFTC!

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 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.

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

Exploring this beautiful area with family visiting from South Africa. Quick find with the help of geo-son. Beautiful spot!!
Found it. Lovely lighthouse to see and the coastline too. Beautiful day for me to catch up some caches around here. Thanks Whitepaws9 for placing the cache.
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.

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. 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.
I visited this back 2015 under a different name, kamfindit and now I have a new name... I was found it in 2015...
Geohubby just sat down and knew instantly. Think I looked and looked but was obviously too close
A tricky retrieval! We spotted it from the track but there were so many muggles (see pic)! And then a wedding! Patience, patience, patience... And it was time for the kill! Got it! Awesome spot with great views, and a beautiful old lighthouse. TFTC!

Next time.

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.

Found with dakotacats on a full day out exploring the local area whilst attending the nearby OzGeoMuster. TFTC
We have arrived at Morisset for the Mega and today with Gullivers Travels54 and Whitewebbs. We found a variety of hides and enjoyed the sight seeing around this area.
Excellent views from the lighthouse, a worthwhile visit. An easy find at GZ
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found with whiskasnz on possibly the busiest day of the year. Found the cache quite quickly after reading a previous log but then had to wait ages for a bus full of muggles to leave. Got there in the end. TFTC
We are currently in Morisset for the OzGeoMuster and headed out this way to find some caches, and this was one we found. What a lovely spot and a beautiful lighthouse. TFTC
Attending the Oz Geomuster at Morisset. Thank you for placing this cache.
Excellent spot for a cache. This is what geocaching is all about - treasured sites.

What a beautiful location. Amazing lookout. After a quick look around realised where the Cache was hidden. Set my Geogirlfriend on the quest to snatch it out whilst no muggles where around. Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC
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.

Holidaying in Norah Head, took the nephews out for this find at the end of a lovely walk.
5/5 for the day with mbyrne26 Great view, had to wait for all the tourists to disappear before looking, TFTC!
Another cache ticked off on our road trip today geocaching with cargo147. Had to wait for the juggles to leave, surprising no more came by while we were searching! After a bit of searching through the tall (spikey!) Found the cache, signed the log and put it back all before any more muggles cane along! TFTC!
Looks like they have painted the light house recently what a coastline!! Tftc
I enlisted the help of my entire family to form a wall to block muggles ans one of our younger members made the retrieval. Gorgeous day out! TFTC!

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.

Beautiful spot. Bit hot but not too windy. Thanks for bringing me here TFTCSL
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.
Spent the night in Canton Beach, and came up to the lighthouse early in the morning. tftc.
Found on second visit to the spot!!! Found by the 7year old!! Left travelswithmum.com card
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
Found it ! The wind is so strong today Ferret1 nearly got blown over (literally!!)
Thank you for the cache. My second time looking for this one and finally found it. No mugles this early beautiful spot!
