It took a little bit of rummaging before we discovered the likely hiding spot and soon met with success.
Thanks for a good hide! Took me a while - thankfully no muggles to interrupt my searching:)
Temporary NANO replacement in place till I can resolve the magnet on the larger container.
#156 Very cold, windy day. With the most absolutely huge waves at the beach. But quick and easy find with the hint
156. Found it! Stupidly windy and the surf is insane. Interesting day to be geocaching
After a dawn event to watch the sun come up after the winter solstice this morning, I headed over this way to find a few more caches today. A lovely way to spend the morning of what has turned out to be a beautiful day.Thanks for find #6241TNLN

Great hide. Found this one at night so was really dark but with the help from the hint and my phone it only took me about 2 minutes. TFTF Wazza9
Tried to be creative and looked at log but unfortunately we're were not lucky enough this time, maybe after our walk we might try again
It's not very often that we visit the Sutherland Shire but the family wanted to go to the beach today. When that's the case we usually head up to Avoca or somewhere up that way; it's generally much quieter there with fewer people, more parking and a huge beach. Anyway, it's good to discover other parts of Sydney, too.The others went to get their dose of solar radiation while I opted to sit in the shade under the lifesavers' tower and read my book. I'm not much of a beachgoer. After the suntan-seekers came back medium-to-well-done they sought out some refreshments at the nearby coffee shop. I checked my geocaching app and headed off to look for this one cache for the day.Considering how busy the beach area was, this hiding place was absolutely quiet. Not a single muggle about. I checked the indicated area and at first found only a folded-up T-shirt, which didn't seem a likely candidate for a cache container. Nothing was visible otherwise. Drat, had it gone AWOL again?!? Then my hand bumped something and it tumbled out. Aha, success. Nicely hidden.After adding my name to the new scroll I put it back as I suspect it had been hidden, noting that the magnets are not very strong and any light touch would probably dislodge the container very easily -- probably like what happened when I was feeling about for it during my search.Anyway, I'd certainly like to explore the cycleways around here oneday, but probably not during the heat of the summer. I'll do some research and perhaps come back at a cooler time of year. Thanks for the cache and for alerting me to the options of riding my bike around this area in future.
No bike today but have been meaning to stop in here for a while and was nice and muggle free!
Don't belive this cacher who added the needs maintenance but will disable till I can check late March.
On today's trip we looked for this one. Unfortunately there were only two tiny magnets and a piece of plastic in its hiding spot. It fitted the owner's description of the hiding spot, so the geocache obviously occured to be in need of maintenance. However the owner says that this is not part of the geocache he hid, so either wait for a check or search for it yourself. Maybe it's still there. Due to the former mentioned I withdrew the "needs maintenance".
This was such a great find the clue was very smart. I did it with my youngest cousin and uncle was there 1st time finding a cash and they loved it thank you very much!!!
Followed the cachers' instructions and took a rest. I soon was able to see the cache and manoeuvred it into a position where I could access the log. First in the new log book. Good little cache in a well-trafficked area.
FOUND! Great take a break there. I forgot take my pen but I leave my bracelet like as my signature nice hide, thanks.
Sadly someone has destroyed it. We found the tape from it and the paper scrunched up and shoved in the table. We put it in a new container and stashed it away. Happy finding!!
New container in place.
If you are seated, last post LH end.
Please replace carefully.

We found it on this on a cold afternoon. My 8 year old son and I nearly gave up looking even after reading the clue. Very ell hidden! Thank you for providing a fun and memorable experience! Paul & Will
Given the last 2 comments, I visited today and replaced a missing rubber seal and log sheet. Also moved the cache BACK to the original position.

A good find although the logsheet is completely saturated and cannot be written upon.
