Logs
I found the cache but the contents have been removed and only the container was there
Found it after looking in the wrong spot for awhile note book is full and very wet not in same spot as photo
Today I'm down in Bulli ahead of the Geocaching NSW Winter Walk at Sublime Point.
With time to spare I came along here to pay my respects to John.
The water was quite high in the creek and I wondered if this area was cut off in our torrential summer last year. The hint was helpful but the GPS took quite a while to settle. Finally spotted the camo hiding the cache. The log was rather damp but I did manage to sign it. There is a TB in the cache but it was too wet to move along today.
Saw some interesting fruit growing near GZ.

Came to this one late in the afternoon after a few passing showers had already been through, so I brought the brolly out, and was glad of it - it only took the slightest of breezes to bring showers down from the trees!
I initially looked in the wrong spot, thought I saw the grey brick mentioned, and was concerned to find nothing behind it. I spent some time checking everywhere around it before moving along the wall a bit - but there was nothing there either. GPS pointed back to where I started, but I was quite sure I'd checked that thoroughly already, so instead headed to the far side, and there it was. A proper grey brick, not the grey sort-of-a-brick I found the first time. And yes, there was the cache.
The cache seemed to be sealed fine, but the log was quite damp and soft, and could use a proper drying out before it start to get mouldy. Travel bug still in the cache.
TFTC, and for sharing the memories of your father, SeabreezeOZ.

So many mosquitos, 5 minutes of searching gave me over 10 mosquito bites to had to evacuate
Easy Found. TFTC. We visited this cash on our last day in Australia front the jersey Channel Islands.
TFTC! Quiet little park. Took a few minutes as coordinates were a bit jumpy. Beware the tiny critter with teeth as it will alert others to your presence! Found with Ebbsy87.
Nice to find a new park as lived just around the corner, and never knew about it!
It was in plain sight when we found it and surrounded by spiders. Tried our best to hide it while avoiding the spiders. Really lovely park, glad we visited. Tftc
Headed down south to find some treasure around Bulli with Oldmorty and Missmorty. Found this hidden gem of a park and soon found the cache. RIP John. TFTC!
Morty8888 and I ventured down to Bulli to meet up with missmorty for some local caching. We didn't see a grey brick but did see something that needed further investigation. CIH.
Thanks for placing this cache SeabreezeOZ.

Very good find! Wasn’t sure where it was at first, thought it was on someone’s block but then soon found a super cool play ground hidden! Loved the swaps and had a great time
Quick park and grab. Wow these neighbours are lucky to have practically a private park to themselves. Who knew this was here. Thanks for the cache and bringing me here.
Easy find - cute park - very noisy dog on guard and loads of prying eyes on nearby balconies.
TFTC. Container was in plain sight at the bottom of the wall, so have re-hidden it. Beautiful park.
Found with nephew. Great way to memorialize someone. What a great little hidden gem of a park.
We found this recently whilst on a quick getaway for the weekend.
We arrived to find muggles but whilst the little ones had a quick play,myself and the geoteen snuck away and found rather quickly.
A nice little hidden park tucked away. TFTC

#8755 (5 of 13 today - including 3 Adventure Labs)
I am terribly behind in my logging. It's getting close to two months since I regularly reported on the caches I've found. YIKES!
In this time only the Adventure Labs found and my First2Finds have been written up - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.
But I've been busy finally getting ready to move into our new house - now in and I'm still coming to terms with the extra room/rooms!
But I did still try to find time to cache on the days that my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day demanded I find something. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, but somehow I expect that will eventually prove too hard as I have to travel a good distance if I want more than a cache a day.
Anyway. thanks to all the CO's who are getting short shrift from my generic logs. I hope to eventually get back to them and flesh them out, but no promises.
I've found some fun Traditionals and solved some interesting, but not impossible puzzles. And Multis and other cache types have been grabbed where possible.

Anything interesting from my day will be added here - don't hold your breath.

Easy find today in a deserted park - how did I miss it last time? I even remember this spot!
Ah well, DNF expunged!

Great new park. Never been here before. Kids loved it. Hint is a little off, but easy enough. Tftc. RIP John.
A nice quick grab but the hint is a little off. Brick is not the colour stated. TFTC.
Me and my 2 yr old decided to look for this and it's our first ever find. Great spot. Thanks
Find #170 for the tribe, day 23 of our little streak.
Out caching with the geokids on another stunning summers day and what better cache to look for than this one. A lovely shaded reserve with some retro play equipment that you don't see much of these days.
Geokids had a play while I quickly located the cache. Cache and log in excellent condition. Left a little treehouse book and took an ooshie.
The geokids loved this one. Thanks for placing a cache here, we never would have located this Park without a cache to show us the way. And thanks to John all those years ago for getting this space to be allocated as a public space. A lovely way to remember your dad.
Now off for a swim at Woonona beach and to get the adventure lab at the surf life saving club! TFTC!

Lucky other Geo’s found it And gave us the heads up. It’s now behind another coloured brick
Found after searching for quite a while, suspect it's been relocated from original hiding place...
Found 17:27 12/9/20 while visiting family nearby. Thank you SeabreezeOZ for the cache and bringing me to this location.
Down The Shire way for dinner with friends, so thought I'd go further south for some finds. Had originally thought to hit Helensburg, but misreading a "Road Closed" sign I ended up a lot further south, with a lot less time to make some finds. And a few DNFs didn't help. So only got three finds for my time, where I'd been hoping for two or three times that.
Oh well.

Picked the wrong one for my last find. Third DNF today out of six attempts.
A muggle was there when I arrived, and another arrived during my slapdash search.
I probably looked suspicious anyway.
And it was only found today so I'm confident it was there.
Now I'm late, and if I'm too late I'll miss out on the red wine! Luckily there was a little left.
Oh well.

This was such a sick hiding spot for a cache! Thank you for making this cache because it was the third cache I found today!
Had a fun play at the park after finding this cache! No pen but can provide pictures of proof
Hmm... This one was a little odd. Found some distance from where the co-ords were indicating (but still in the retaining wall) and no grey brick hiding it - just sitting there very obvious. Managed to find a brick to place over it. Dropped off Day of the Dead TB. Lovely little park, Tftc!
