Fun find! Thankyou!!

Took a few minutes of searching to claim this one. Going by the clue didn’t help narrow things down, after stepping back for a minute and surveying the surroundings I found something that didn’t quite look right and sure enough the smile was found.

16,460. Found on a bonus caching run after picking up minniek from Moss Vale Train Station.

It made sense that after driving all the way up to MV to pick minniek up that we take advantage of it and do some caching. Next find for the day. A quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and we headed off to the next one.

TFTC Hoojar, Chip & Ding !!

I caught the train from Sydney to Moss Vale after a night out for a work function. Fitzy_1965 picked me up and we went caching for the rest of the day. Started in Robertson and ended up in the Dapto area before heading home. 22 caches for me today.

Quick find here today.

The app directed us to go across the road which contradicted what the map was telling us, not sure if it was just an issue with my phone or not but we eventually found it Smile

Found Smile -- 12:20 pm -- WOO HOO !!! Found, and I've redeemed myself. I was thinking it was going to be a great day for caching with a cool morning, that was until we arrived in *The Gong* where it turned out fairly hot. I came down to collect a chair I had re-gassed and wasn't really prepared for caching. Decided to come here and have another look. Pleased to tick this off almost 12 months on. Went up to Unanderra for a quick squizz at the hardware cache with no luck because I was guessing on a hunch as to GZ and then over to Mmm Beer to try a redeem on that one too. But alas this was the only find today. Thanks for another cache hide *Hoojar*.

More like a Did Not Look - fence here and it put me off as gps said it was behind the fence.
It seems like it’s been ages since we last had the really good weather for caching. Having a moment of cravings I've taken advantage of today's glorious hot afternoon to get out and about with hubz and the two sprouts. With petrol at a very much cheaper rate than home, it was an easy decision to come down here, cache and fill the car.
I have had such a wonderfully fantastic afternoon sleuthing our way around the back blocks of Albion Park and up toward the escarpment areas. Gorgeous green grass and awesome views, I sure was loving it up around here in places I have never been.
Even though we had an afternoon start we cached until the sun disappeared over the escarpment and with that headed home.
