Thanks for playing.

Look everywhere for this cache and was with someone who had found it and confirmed that it was not in the place they found it. I will put a maintenance log as it must be missing. I believe the last 2 people didn't find, as one said they didn't but posted a found log.

I'll add my DNF. The underbrush is very downtrodden. With no muggles around I could search extensively and apart from rubbish, no other success.

seems to be missing

The WEEO and I gave the bushes a moderate going over and didn't find anything. Couldn't scoure the place though as muggle fishermen were nearby.

Went looking for this one . There were no muggles insight so was able to have an uninterrupted fossick around for about 20 mins, but to no avail.
This is a spectacular walking track.
Thanks Hoojar, Chip & Ding.

What better thing to do on a wet afternoon but some caching. A nice one to get. Loved looking around the area. Thanks to Hoojar

Diving and Events at South Coast Feb 2014. After a great time at the even, ZZ7, Sol de Lune and I headed off to try for as many of the LIPT caches as time would allow. Two DNFs but plenty of finds, and many more to do on other trips. A few bonus caches along the way. The development here seems to have been done without anything coming from it. Thanks.

Get views across the water. Really enjoyed watching the water ski antics of one guy. SDL quickly made the find.

Nabbed with Albida33 too. Pleasant afternoon exploring the area after the Rat's event.

Thanks for the cache and the series. (nice meeting you too)

An easy find while watching the wake boarders nearby.

TFTC Hoojar

Watched the guys and girls on the nearby ski run as we walked down towards this one. Look like a great day for it...although the guy we watched wasn't doing anything fancy.....but still cool to watch.

Great hint and the cache and was very quickly in hand. Always like that when on a run out of town.

Thanks for another one Hoojar....

Easy find! Had no idea there was a wake boarding cable with trick jumps

Bit blowy today, but we enjoyed the walk along the lake . TFTC

Found quick

Found it nice and quick.

Our 8200th overall find.

Found with FarmerFrentzen on our Christmas break caching trip. Found today with a minimum of fuss. There were a few people out on the pier waiting for their turn. One bloke was in the water being dragged face first up the lake.

Thanks Hoojar for the cache.

Found during a run down to Wollongong with Big Matt and Shell.

It had been a little while since we had cached Wollongong and with the publishing of the LIPT we decided it was time to make another trip down south. The weather was near perfect and a very enjoyable day was had making our way around Lake Illawarra and surrounding areas.

Another quick grab in the area whilst watching the wake boarding action.

Thanks Hoojar for the cache.

Quick find.

Quick find

Quick find before lunch

I travelled up today to photograph the Cable Tide Wakeboarding facility for a waymark & was relying on a LIPT cache to get me there - a surprise! Once around the corner heading to this one saw what I was looking for. It's moved. Very entertaining to watch & got some great shots with my little digital camera. Thanks Hoojar, Chip & Ding.

The last of our traditional finds today, before we headed to the middle of the lake for a most unusual event. We parked almost on top of this one, and made a quick find.

Thanks

This was the last cache we did before driving back around to the yacht club to launch our kayaks into the water for an event. We parked close an found the cache in an instant. Thanks for all the caches we found of yours today, Hoojar, particularly the pirates cache.

Another great find while touring around from cache to cache.

Unfortunately quite a wet day but found some good caches between showers.

I was originally going on a free 4 day cruise from Sydney to Melbourne via Hobart for work, but it got cancelled at the last minute.
The flight to Sydney and from Melbourne had been bought so I changed plans and turned the break into a 5 day geocaching road trip.
I narrowed the zillion caches between the two cities by only concentrating on 'unusual' cache types, ( letterbox, wherigo, earthcache, virtuals and caches that would help me towards completing the Jasmer Challenge).

Day 2 of the road trip had me heading down this way. I have never been along this section of coast line and was constantly looking left and right as I was driving along between the on again / off again showers.

But by the time I got to this cache the sun was shining and I was getting hungry, so I stopped for a pizza.
While that was cooking I went for walk and found a few nearby caches. A quick find here.

Thanks for the cache.

Very quick find. First for Lloydy

Easy one. Didn't know about the cable park

Found during my stay in NSW. First week we were at Sydney, since I went there to attend a conference. We did quite a lot of walking around this astonishing town. Most of the caches were just small mint boxes or nanos, but that is to be expected in such a big city. I'm especially thankful for all the bigger caches that were easier to find, since my time for the geocaching was somewhat limited.

After the first week we rented a car and went to explore the NSW national parks. Since the Blue Mountains were closed due to bush fires (hope all is well now), we went a 1000km to see Mungo park. We saw a lot of kangaroos, emus, wombats and some koalas in the wild. On our way back to Sydney we visited Canberra and some beautiful parks north of it. We enjoyed the drive-in view that allowed us to see more beauty in shorter time. We spent last day in Royal National Park where we fooled around at a beach and in the waves. We did a short walk on a cost track, which showed as how beautiful the ocean and the coast really are.

Unfortunately, we had to head back to our country ;-( I hope we get to visit NSW again some day.

Thanks for every cache there.

Easy easy. Clue gives too much away.

Found with bloss

Yayy easy found with the_Doitsch

The cable was certainly getting a work out today.

TFTC

Cheers

Haven't seen cable waterskiing up close before!

TFTC Hoojar

Out there, but not out there...Thanks Hoojar.

Milly great find watch out for all the poo

Found with Katsumar on the last day of the Scouts Geocaching Competition. We took a trip around Lake Illawarra by Car, Skateboard and Scooter.

Quick grab on this one.

Thanks, Hoojar!

Quick find this afternoon. TFTC!

Found on a big cache trail around Lake Illawarra with Nicksmyname on the last day of the Scouts Australia Geocaching competition.
More log details to follow, but have to log this tonight.
Thanks, Hoojar!

A quick find after work to keep the challenge going. TFTC

Found it!

Easy find tftc

Easy. Description says all.

Found with figtree rovers

Easy find tftc

Caching with the Rovers. Easy find!

found with figtree rovers was very simple nice park

Exactly where clue said so not a great challenge but interesting nevertheless. Father used to bring us prawning here when the second lake entrance was nearby, and the water was clean. Like the foreshore enhancements. TFTC.

Out today with Krafty Charlie,Gribbly & Muggle for a caching day.
Great water ski park nearby
Nice quick find, another suburbs cache off the list
TFTC

Last one for the day. The boys day out was very successful. TFTC

Another quick find and thank goodness! Absolutely blowing its ring out today! TNLN TFTC D

Out with Krafty Charlie, Cheeky Cachers and a muggle. Place was deserted so easy to find but the wind was freezing and blowing us away.

Found this one fairly easily - no muggles around. Was a nice day for geocaching around the lake. We'll be back to get the other caches around the lake another time.

A good hide. Well concealed, yet out in the open. TFTC.

Quick find on a fresh winters morning. 2nd attempt on this one as I tried it months ago but think it was missing. TFTC

Found on our Wollongong caching holiday. Spotted this area after a long drive on the previous night too. A quick park at the designated area and a short walk along the path to GZ where the cache was quickly found. Bold hide, hope it lasts. Lovely area. From here we could see the GZ of our previous cache. Took TB. TFTC Hoojar!

Quick find without a muggle in sight (unless you count the hundreds of black swans) left a leather bracelet.

quick find watcehd skiers

Lived here for a long time and have never stopped in. Thanks for the visit
TFTC TN Left Survival Key ring

Found whilst cycling with friends (Pipes_Down_Under). I have passed this way several time before, but this time stopped and picked up the find. TFTC

Out for a cycle with friends (Kembla) from Berkeley to Darcy Dunster reserve and back and grabbed a couple of caches on the return trip.
This is a big open area and a very quick find.
Great day for a ride and cache.
Thanks for the series Hoojar, I have a few of yours now

A nice easy one, but we did get a funny look from a muggle walking her dog, as we were just standing around doing nothing at all really.

After a previous DNF I didn't need the GPS for this one.

TFTC,
Out for a cycle ride from Berkley to Shellharbour with a few friends and picked up a geocache find at the first rest stop.
Visited a group of trackables.

A quick and easy find on the way home from the CITO event. TFTC.

Easy find on the way home from the CITO event, although there were lots of muggles about. Fortunately they were all watching people fail to cable-waterski, and didn't notice my retrieve and replace. Beautiful views from here too. TFTC!

Awesome Sunday weather to watch the cable tide operating. Watched some good stacks over the jumps! Tftc

#2 of 3. Our trip to Jamberoo was thwarted by rain today so G, L, I & Junior S went to see a kids movie while Senior S did some park and grab caching.

This was a quick find. Looks like, in better weather, this would be a good spot for skiing.

TFTC Hoojar.

Fantastic another easy find after 2 DNF's this afternoon. Great location with views over the lake. Didn't realise they had a wakeboard cable run on the lake. TFTC.

Nice spot TFTC

Found with imgettingannoyed

Distance from original: 16.3 feet or 5 meters.

Cache moved by a couple of metres, it appears that it was either dropped or allegedly may have blown away in the wind.

New container in position.

Had a shocker today. Two looks two misses, this was one of them.
Better luck next time.
It appears there have been a lot of people looking around this spot in rescent days and obviously they have DNFd as well.
The old fisherman on the wharf wanted to know what was so interesting at this spot as he had seen people looking each day for the last week. Obviously not logging a missed find.

Ironbark.

If people actually logged their DNFs I would have known sooner that this one needs to be checked up on. Their is no shame in a DNF!

too many muggles around today. Maybe will try again another day

Stopped off this morning on the way home from work, even just after 07.00 there were a few people walking their dogs etc so had to wait a few minutes to grab the cache........glad i`ve got long arms I can tell you, picked up the TB that was in the cache & will move it along shortly. As others have noted the cache maybe in a bit of danger in adverse weather but is a nice hide nonetheless & a peaceful spot by the lake on a warm summers morning.
LN,SL TOOK THE TB TFTC HOOJAR

Lucky I had to get down low to retrieve the cache which was spotted through a tiny crack at the right angle. Not sure how long these type of hides (third in a row) are going to last placed so precariously with the strong lake wind and tides. Contents of this one already soaked so found but didn’t take the TB.

This was our second attempt and this time without fisher man at GZ. I wonder how long it will take till this cache will have a swim. TFTC

Found it. Thanks

GZ was surprisingly deserted when paulyman and I stopped to grab this cache on the way home today. Great hide, TFTC.

GZ was pretty well empty. Searched in a likely spot given the clue, but came up empty handed. Expanded the search a bit further, and then reached out for the find. Thanks.

On another quite hot day this one was a quick trip from the car to retrieve and then back again. TFTC!

Its always good when you can grab a cache on your way to or from somewhere else as I have today.
Talk about being flat out to get this one. The walkers who seen me must have been wondering what I was up to.

Thanks

Geojinx is fast losing the tag. She found this one after a little searching right where I had had a quick look. After the push ups where complete we took the cache further down the jetty to record it away from passing muggles. The sea gulls rose up out of our way as we approached cause we are big and tough and they are small and weak ..and hang on them five are staying put, move for we are bigger, well Ok then we'll go over here you stay there. Tough bunch that lot. Fantastic spot. The cache is dry and in good nick. TFTC

Another spot that i have not been to in a lot of years

things have really changed

thanks for the cache and i to am loving this series

Quick find on a run around Wollongong. Thanks Hoojar. Enjoying the series.

Armed with my trusty piece of cardboard protection from the previous cache at Primbee, this cache was relatively easy to obtain. I was worried about dropping it though! This may be a very busy place at some times of the day so I was glad it was only 5:30am and there were no muggles around.

Thanks Hoojar for the great series. TFTC.

As the southernly suddenly gained a lot of power this one turned in to more stars then it normally would be! Even away from everything and the container on the ground, the wind was capable of easily picking up the hole container with content. Finally managed to log and then put the container back in its windfree spot.

Visiting family in Australia, thought we would find ourselves a trackable to take back with us to Canada. Thrilled to find Mr Bean's Teddy Bear, which we will make certain finds a new home overseas soon.

Second last for the day. Tricked me for just a minute. TFTC

So who's gonna be the first to drop it? It was almost us! LOL. Easy to find....bit harder to retrieve Oh and we agree....definitely nicer than the Primbee one!! SL TFTC

Tftc

Thank you Hoojar, Chip and Ding for setting this cache and giving us another reason to visit this area again. It looks very different now compared to what it did 20 years ago.
