Unfortunately there was no response (or regular update) from the owner within the time requested and as per the original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).Ngaambul - Matt

Worker of the business nearby said that this cache no longer exists

Needs attention, will look for better spot.

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU.

DNF and I was told by the shop next door that the cache has most likely been removed.

Wanted to get a smiley on Nowra but too hungry to give it a proper go

Tft geo kid found it

Didn’t find it though we tried hard.

Chooo ooo [DNF] with dty73 youban Joolay and Aquilus1 on a quick Nowra invasion! Thanks Rock-hopper!

Unfortunately have to log a DNF for this one; couldn’t find it for the life of me :’(

A sad face for this one.
Hasn't been found for a short while, so ???????
Five of us looked for some time but alas a DNF today.
Down this way for the yearly Family camp at the nearby scout camp.
Veeery Verrry windy weekend.

Found 25/3/23

A bit of a hard one never find it on a busy day ...
Totally out of sight, just accident it was located

#3434 DT and I had to put in a rather long wait here until we could grab the cache. Once in hand we attended to logging before once again waiting for the perfect moment to replace. Cheers Rock-hopper. Certainly a hide that you must choose your opportunity to attempt. TFTC.

Good hide TFTC

Too many muggles think it’s missing

Very awkward find, nice quick one tho xx

Thank you!

Exploring the South Coast for a few days.
Had some spare time after dinner so decided to look for a cache in town, thankfully it was a muggle free zone at this hour.
Thanks for the cache

Great quick find. TFTC

A find in between ordering and collecting a pizza from the main drag. It was a quiet night being Easter Sunday and the full moon brightened up the sky. This was a quick find after reading the hint. tftc

Quick easy un eventful find on a Sat afternoon, Got a park right out front.

Cache teplaced

Not forgotten, still looking for suitable spot.

Still trying to find a suitable cache for this depleted site!

Reviewer note: new hide being investigated, will update in next two weeks.

Now that the plants have gone, there are limited places to hide a cache. I'll give it more thought, but might have to archive it.

This was "An Un-Event-ful Cache", as it was a DNF . However, not all was lost. The nearby bakery and café does the most lovely fruit and custard tarts. The custard is nice and soft as it should be. The coffee was okay too.

Found it but the log was impossible to reach, TFTC

Found but can not get it.

Found it! But it’s impossible to reach and sign.. log paper is out of reach

After a night of cocktails I managed to revenge a previous a DNF. However I didn't find a container, only the log with one other name on it. I would have replaced the container but I didn't have anything with me. TFTC

Had a good search today as there were no muggles around on Australia day. Even with the place to myself I had no luck

Found

Tftc

Cap of GC container was unscrewed and log was missing. Asked shop owner for paper to replace inside GC and she was most obliging. Wanted to know all about geocaching so gave her a quick lesson on what it's all about. TFTC, I'm disappointed the CO went to the trouble to maintain this one to have it muggled.

Nice quick find despite all the coffee drinking muggles around.
TFTC, SL...1st one to sign nice new logs

Found

Cache replaced. Please don't damage plants while looking, there is no need to disturb them.

Have just spoken to the business owner as they are good friends of mine.

PLEASE DO NOT DAMAGE THE PLANTS WHILE LOOKING!!!!

No luck, not in the places I expected it.

Everyone watched us and we kicked away from the area

Cache enabled, now that we are out of lock-down.

Sorry, but I'm disabling all my caches while this COVID 19 lockdown is in place. Hopefully we'll all be able to be out and about before too long.

Cache replaced, S/E corner of last planter box.

Is the cache up by any chance

Cache is definitely not there

Sorry, I'd meant to check on this one earlier, but it slipped my mind. I'll get on to it soon.

We'd almost narrowed down the search area when the lady proprietor emerged and offered a hint. We both searched where she indicated, but found nothing. Widened our search, and covered all the similar places, but still nothing. She was sorry that the container seems to have gone, and was keen to have it replaced. We told here we would pass that on in this, our log. Our thanks anyway to Rock-hopper.

OCW The Bebes after doing a GCNSW related errand. This one turned out to be trickier than expected. I though maybe around the back would give more opportunity to get closer to the mark, but it turns out the the front was the right place, just with the coords being a bit off. I tried the dirty option, but was a little to gingerly, and it was The Bebes who finally got the CIH. Thanks Rock-hopper.

We headed down from the city to Bombaderry on an errand to collection some shirts.

After we’d finished the business part of our trip we decided to grab a few nearby caches.

This one resulted in dirty hands, we’d hoped that wouldn’t be necessary but after re-reading the description we had to dive in

Tftc

Finally tried late one tuesday night a few weeks ago when i saw some other cachers having a go but gave up too easily. Some help from the owner and a better effort and turned a frown into a bjg grin. Thanks!

Sneaky

Late night find about to leave then found it.

Have replaced bag in cache

Decided to check back after a DNF and bingo...there is was. TFTC

Could do with a new ziplock and the existing one is torn

Hard to find

Found on Easter Sunday with the Carsten Crew. This one took a bit of digging around before we finally had cache in hand. Not many muggles around early on Easter. TFTC.

Good quick find while waiting for pizza with Bomaderry Bandit Lily

Found it but only after asking a local shop keeper who happened to know what we were looking for. The GPS co-ordinates were all over the place. Difficult to work out where to search when you can’t get a lock on location. However, now having re-read the description, the clues are all there. The hint helps but not as much as the Description. We have attached a photo of the garden bed that our GPS took us to but it’s not here. You’ll find it across the road from here. Hope that helps a little without giving too much away.

Had a good scramble through the chips but no luck

19/01/2019 -- DNF -- As Arnie says "I'll be back."
Thanks for the hunt and Thanks for bringing us here to this location Rock-hopper.

Getting dinner when I noticed here was a nearby cache but not in a position to look for it. Went down to the river to eat. It is so lovely down here with the lights flickering over the water at night. Returned to GZ to search for the cache and trying to keep a low profile due to muggles in the building. Suddenly a lady appeared and said I was not even close. That sure took me by surprise. Re-evaluating things and changing position I began searching again. There was a couple nearest the door who didn't even bother looking my way even when I did appear in their line of vision. Maybe I should have passed on this cache, I obviously had my eyes shut . . well it was 9pm and I was tired. OCW *Little Kitten* and *DustyJapserJet*.

10 = 9 1 0 [8)] not attempted.

Unlucky this time.

Sorry didn't have a pen so attaching a picture of log as evidence of the find. TFTC

Hier musste ich doch etwas länger suchen. Schlussendlich wurde meine Ausdauer dennoch belohnt. TFTC

Thankyou!!

I actually swung past GZ a few times today, but there was no chance of snaring the container, or so I thought... First visit at 0620 this morning, the adjacent cafe was ridiculously busy and with muggles coming and going, I had no chance of hunting without looking suss. Plus, a shop owner across the road was setting something up and was keeping an eye on me.

I revisited around 5pm, only to see a bar sign and a lonely guy sitting inside said venue, looking directly out. Hmm, guess it's a no-go this time as well...

I had dinner with a colleague at the nearby Indian (recommended btw), then after the meal, suggested we enjoy a nightcap down the road. Sure he said, so we ended up here for my third time. While enjoying a scotch, I asked the young lady behind the bar if she was aware of the cache out the front. Sure she said, it makes for quite entertaining viewing sometimes, when the sheepish hunters come along... Well, that's handy I said as I now know I can scratch around without having to worry. [^]

Not only did the lovely lady know about the cache, she came out of the venue and pulled it up so I could sign the log. Now that's service I thought. With my details added, she tucked it away and we headed back inside where another scotch was in order.

It could take some scratching around to find this one and I can see how previous finders could have taken a while.

Cheers Rock-hopper.

We have been enjoying a short hiking and caching holiday in Nowra this week and walked by here this evening on our way to the RSL for dinner. We looked high and low, we even tried some digging, but gave up to go to dinner. We tried again after dinner and after reading logs. No one around and Dan, in desperation, got out a backhoe and unearthed the cache. TFTC

My friend Ruby found the geo on her first try

Found it! this was a good one, a lot of muggles but was able to pass as someone who lost their ring

The ladies in the dress shop were most helpful!

GOT IT!

This one took us a few time to find because the coordinates are 20meters off we where walking around the block lol

Headed down from KV for the day and this cache wasn't far from where we parked. I was surprised the GPSr held its ground and guided us faithfully to GZ. Mrs Aries made the find. We logged and carefully hide it again. TFTC Rock-Hopper.

After a couple of false starts & breakfast at The Hopper Society, Mr Geo laid hands on a neatly hidden cache. Kutgw

Good one look for black tiles

Nice quick find here!! Lucky its a very hot Sunday and the muggle population was no where to be seen!!

TFTC

WOW - I wasn’t sure how to tackle this one at first! Muggles left-right-and-center given it’s peak holiday period. Finally just decided to go for it as subtly as possible. TFTC

On my red bike near the red rocket

This is our 2nd day in Nowra. We have driven through Nowra a number of times on our travels north away from the Victorian winter, but this is the first time we have actually stopped here. We are having a great time exploring the area and seeing the sights thanks to our own tailor made geo tour. What better way to get to know a place than thru the locals knowledge. So thanks to all the CO's that have hidden caches for us to find.
We arrived here not long before lunch on a Saturday, probably the worst possible time, with muggles everywhere but there weren't that many possibilities.
We had a quick look and then resorted to past logs which gave us the extra clue we needed to make it a quick search. With no one in the immediate vicinity we had the log signed and cache replaced in quick time.
TFTC

TFTC!

Too many Muggles, couldn't really search at all.

Found with Libby in May

Found

Needed the clue for this one plus reading previous finds. Felt a bit odd for a little bit. A couple of muggles saw us. Oops. Found with Steph and Tish

Couldn't put my hand on it today.

Of course it was in the last one I looked. Just finding a place for dinner. Thanks.

TFTC

Thankfully the establishment in question was shut up tight today as I ran through the rain to try and uncover the treasure at gz. took a lot of rummaging but got there in the end tftc

Have to be honest, really didn't like digging around here for this one. But CIH quickly enough. TFTC and the smiley.

Almost walked away but the we got it!

Found it

Thanks

Much cooler this morning, so we hit the streets with the sparrows this morning as we knew this one required stealth due to muggle activity. Lucky for us there was only one muggle nearby and we were able to grab and log this cache. Great spot for it in spite of the stealth required! SL; TFTC

*Live logging *
Found with sesblocker.
Phew! Not a quick find. We resorted to PAF.

Not there as far as we could find. Maybe needs a check
