Had a look around, storm last week seems to have taken this one. Found a sistema lid with faint marker pen on it but no cache. Needs a check
Found it. Good clue. niece was scared of the trolls. Would be nice if there was a list for ppl to writer ur names. Not like bitss of scrap. 
After a game of golf up the road I needed a cache to get the Leap Year souvenir and this was our nearest unfound one. Timed it perfectly - not a person in sight. Scrambled about dodging spider webs (unsuccessfully), putting hands where they really didn't want to go, working from one side to the other. Had I started at the other side first the process would have been much quicker and cleaner. TFTC Hoojar.
Find 60. Thanks for the troll hint ☺ Lots of webs . TFTC and for the new donated log book ☺
Found while in the area finding cache's to try to achieve Wazza9's goals he had set himself for 2015. Now I know where Russell Vale Golf Club is.Thanks to Hoojar.
TFTC,
Today is all about numbers. I am trying to achieve 3 per day for 2015.
Visited trackables.

Out geocaching with the geo-squad.
when arriving at GZ, took about 15mins before we found it. Hidden very well and lots and lots of webs and creepy crawlies.

Troll clue, gotcha. Five minutes later, still no find and my spider stick was looking more like a fairy floss stick at the carnival. Must have been the sigh to part the remaining webs like Indiana Jones and low and behold, GEOCACHE! TFTC, Hoojar.
I was heading down to work this morning and doing a couple of caches on the way. A bit of a poke around for a while and then located the hide. Found log shredded in small pieces (aka large confetti). I had a small new log with me and a zip lock bag...so replaced same. TFTC Hoojar.
It's not missing. Went there for a second time and found it. Good hiding. Thx guys
2nd attempt here, out caching with inthistogether & luck6. Came out with the goods today but it was an empty container. A kind donation of a new log & zip lock bag was donated by luck6 who was very prepared! Note BYO pen to future cachers..TFTC
Found empty container so we refilled with supplies from Luck6 - cache back in place. TFTC
Found this cache, has been defaced and all contents has been emptied and replaced with grass, found the list of geocache finders in the creek and returned to box
After a slight misshap with the creek and a wet shoe cache was found and a small basket ball put in container
Nice quick find once I made the right decision about what side to be on. TFTC.

Yay - my 7 year old old so happy it was the first one she's found herself! Creepy spot but great adventure. No trolls!
After searching for 8 caches today, sadly this was a DNF for myself & inthistogether! It wasn't through lack of trying either. With a nice solid stick to clear away our many friends & the camera to search behind sections we weren't game to place our hands we came out empty handed after what we felt was a thorough search. Did find a gorgeous calla lily growing down below so that made me feel a little less disappointed 
Fairly quick find and fortunately not as dramatic as the previous finder's experience! TFTC.
Only had time for 3 in Corrimal/Russell Vale tonight.
Been here before, not brave enough to tackle the cobwebs.
After reading previous post about using a stick and using a camera, I found this cache!
My presence under the bridge prompted locals to call the Police.
5 minutes later, 3 cars, dog-van, human van and 8 (including dog) Law Enforcement Officers later...
Happy enough for a chat, I was surprised none of them had encountered geocaching before.
Thanks for the cache Hoojar,
Thank you to the Police for being vigilant at their jobs,

After an enjoyable day finding a few caches around Lake Illawarra yesterday, I got up early this morning to continue my way through the LIPT series...as well as find a few more local caches throughout the Illawarra region. This was another cache in this series picked up today, and with no one around, the cache didn't long to find.
Gratias Hoojar.

TFTC - lucky I don't have arachnophobia, it would have made this cache VERY frightening.
Having arrived at the Corrimal Beach caravan park today with DiMorgan and husband Bill we got settled and had a cuppa after our taxing trip from the north to the south side of Sydney. Not sure we took the right route. This afternoon we headed off to enjoy the coastal drive and do a few caches. What beautiful scenery. This was one we found. Thanks to Hoojar
After settling into the caravan park we headed out to find a few caches. We wanted to head north to see the cliff bridge as we have seen it so many times on tele & it looks so spectacular.
The area was quiet busy as it was just before school finished & all the yummy mummies were waiting for their children. A scramble down the bank led to the well hidden cache.
Thanks Hoojar

A good find with CacheHunter83 and some family friends. Our first cache for our holida.

Down in the Illawarra for NYE with geofamily, was lucky to get a couple of hours away from the kids early in the morning to find a few geocaches. Slipped on the wet grass on approach and nearly ended up in the creek. Like a previous finder, my efforts were hampered by spider webs, once cleared i also used the camera phone technique mentioned in earlier log entries locate cache fairly quickly. SL TFTC! 
No trolls but a truck load of spiders webs to greet me this morning. Fortunately, I found a stick to sort that bit out and soon had the container located... Out with the log and in with my details, I was in and out in a couple of minutes... [^]
Cheers Hoojar, Chip & Ding.

Nice quick find with the use of a camera phone to check possible hidey holes. TFTC
Nicely tucked away.
Did the old trick of taking photos using my phone with the flash to find what's hiding beind things.
Tftc and the sweet spot

Found with snorris after work. Took a little bit of time to find but got here in the end. Thanks.
Came back better armed with the gps rather than the iPhone. This worked a treat. With CougarZ. TFTC.
Found it yesterday but logging it today so I can get the souvenir. Great cache you can't find it without using your hands or a touch and mirror. TFTC!
I ducked under and something caught my eye, yes there you are...Thanks Hoojar.
Zero muggle activity today and a spot on GZ search was in vane. 2nd for the day, 2nd DNF 
Missed it this time. I must of looked in every single spot possible but where the cache is. Oh well, there's always next time. Otherwise, a nice spot in Wollongong to hide a cache, wherever it may be!
After all the rain this area is very muddy, but grabbed and signed log quickly
Don`t often do much caching at night but at this time of year the daylight hours are fairly short so by the time I got out of work it was pretty dark but previous logs suggested this was an easy & quick find. Arrived at a deserted GZ & was soon crawling around under the bridge, quickly found the cache & signed logbook, another calendar day filled in & another great cache in this series.

A very quick caching stop on our way home, Ace7 and I made short work of this one. He was quick out of the car and onto the scene. Shortly after the cache was in hand. Thanks Hoojar. I needed to pick up a cache today and time was running out as darkness decended. TFTC.
We started today with some challenging caches lined up but the morning proved to be very frustrating with several DNFs in a row. We resolved to collect some of these new caches which eventually made up for a shocking start to the day. That's geocaching isn't it, lots of variety. I still can't believe there are so many suburbs in Wollongong, one more found.
