Found the note pad like national steel, did a bit of digging and found the base of the box but no lid!
I'm calling this a tentative find because although I didn't find any container in the only place near GZ that matches the hint, I did find what appears to be the remains of a logbook nearby and signed that. I put it back in the hint matching spot but it is exposed to the elements now. See photo. If I'm way off let me know and I'll change this to a Note. TFTC!

TFTC - a bit soggy after the rains... Tried to dry it out a little in the beautiful sun..
Doesn't seem very secure in its possy but I can't imagine anyone stumbling on it here. TFTC.
As I was down in the gong for a few hours this morning with time to spare, I decided to grab a few caches. Since I had just dropped off at a rellie's place in Towradgi, this seemed an ideal cache to start with. No trouble finding it, once I had checked the hint and realised where it actualy referred to.
thanks
thanks
Third cache for the year had us scratching our heads for a little while, GPSr was being a bit weird in the overcast conditions however once it settled down we headed to the correct GZ. Didn't really want to go scratching around in lantana thankfully cache was lying on the ground nearby just out of sight. SL and replaced where I suspected it should be, although may end up on the ground again if we get any more extreme weather. TFTC!
Initially thought we'd have to do some clearing of lantana to claim this one then BINGO not so hard after all! TFTC Local knowledge helped with this one Used to live in a neighbouring house and spent many a long day playing on this bridge with my brothers
3 out of 4 geokids ran off in the wrong direction, while one stayed with the GPS and me, clever thinking. TFTC Hoojar.
Ventured North to keep my caching streak alive (116days) with Geodaughter Tadpole7 and we made the find quite quickly. It was a beautiful evening and we had a glorious view of the early evening stars and venus in the West. Nice little park Hoojar and thanks for your cache and the series.
DNF - was very boggy and muddy wasn't easy with 2 little ones in tow. Maybe another day.
We tried to make this one harder than it needed to be.. but went back to basics and had the cache in hand..
Hogwarts, one of my first caches was on the other side of the creek. Busted by cCraftyCharlie on the day and had no idea what to do.
Today it was different no-one about and a nice quick find.

Not easy to navigate the streets, not being a local but managed it.
For some unknown reason I crossed the creak then realised my error, oh how trust in the arrow on compass can lead you astray. Had CIH quickly at GZ. SL TFTC

Another quick diversion off the highway on my way home after another nightshift, got to GZ just before 07.00, was able to park less than 100 metres away from GZ in a side street & once out of the car was quite relieved to find that I was on the right side of the creek, no muggles around at this hour thankfully although GZ has been well chosen & would normally be out of sight of most muggles using the park. Made a quick find of the by now very familiar Hoojar cache container, well hidden yet easily retrieved, another cache in this series knocked off. Hoojar you`ve obviously gone to a great deal of time, trouble, expense & effort to put this series out & i`d like to thank you for your efforts, it`s much appreciated.

Thanks for the cache. Again, you may want to take a dog with you so you don't look like you're going to pee in the bushes!! Had to explain to a muggle who asked if I was ok that I was looking for my dogs lead that I thought may have been left behind. When he asked where my dog was now my quick thinking brain blurted out that she had to stay at home as she no longer has a lead! Must go, need to buy a new dog lead.
Boy it was hot today for late April....Just as well this was a quick find. Thanks again for all the WS caches.
Found the cache and checked black cobras butt for prickles, no prickles found but nice butt for a cobra
This was a nice cashe which agent orang3 and I did during some night cashing. We started off on the wrong side on the creak so we made our way to the right side. Once there we had a close encounter with a spider but after that Agent Orang3 found the cashe.
Made our attack on some more of this series, I had no idea there were so many Wollongong suburbs. SL..TFTC
Last cache for this lunch time run with the mini. Odd little reserve, someone has been doing donuts on the grass. Bet the neighbours love that!
Thanks again for the hide and the series to date!

Is this near the spot where one of Wollongong's early caches was? Or perhaps further north? In any case I never found it. Today was a different story though and the cache was even a little exposed in its spot. Thanks!
Don't know how you found this location? Luckily my gps send me to the right side and I made for an very easy find.

Cache had slipped down from its clue, which was lucky as I probably wouldn’t have seen or reached it otherwise. Tried to put it back best I could but it kept slipping so placed a rock over it to help.
With such beautiful weather it was too nice to sit at home on Easter Saturday so we headed to grab a few new suburb caches.
Nice easy find in a spot where the Hogwarts express use to be.
Thanks

WOO FTF!! We were standing at the original GZ wondering why there was a cache hidden in someone's backyard. This can't be right can it?? So I checked on my iPhone and the coordinates were JUST changed. Unfortunately that meant we were standing on the wrong side of the creek. So we jumped in the geomobile and off we went again and we then had much better luck this time around! Thanks!
Ha! That's cool. I figured i'd try to get the south ones too! Didn't know how far behind i was! Well done lukeandmelody!
Did some caching south of here yesterday only to arrive home amidst a scramble for FTf In the next instalment of. Wollongong suburbs so. Better late than never
Xelanhoj! Once we figured out you were headed north after a DNF at Towradgi, we headed south. Lol!
