Sadly I did not find this cache whilst on a trip to Nowra and surrounds with Steeba and The Rats. caches.
We searched here for a long time. A very long time. Far too long actually. But we still could not come up with any cache.
Cheers

#purpleelephant #blackpanther Omg finally found it, after numerous attempts, looking over the same place a thousand times, TFTC
Cool little find, so funny to think I've walked past these things so many times living in Nowra

TFTCSad to see this garden in such disrepair once there was a Gardiner who loved it..
Found it.
I have a feeling it didn't need replacing because the log that I signed has many signatures dating back a long time.

Took two attempts, but found it!! High muggle activity, so night time makes it a little easier to avoid suspicion
2nd time lucky as first time to many muggles around to search. Come back at night and had a better look.
Found with geopeekers by night almost gave up, would be hard to find during the day with muggles about. Left 25cents for the kids. Great container.
Finally found. After numerous attempts at this one. It ended up an easy find exactly in the same place we had looked at before. Tftc.
Located by Em from team SquareGates whilst doing some joint caching. Has taken us a while to find this one, so glad to knock it off the list. Thanks for the cache RiverRunners.
The damp day did not discourage us from our caching activities though some sunshine would have been nice. We enjoyed exploring the different areas particularly the coastal walking tracks which provided a challenge in terrain and cache hides. The scenery was totally awesome and finding caches in these sorts of areas reminded us what it was that drew us into caching in the first place. Thanks to RiverRuners
We didn't look for long, but we did find a wallet with all the cards in it, so handed it in at the local member for parliament office.
Thanks
Thanks

18/1/2014 in Nowra with some time to kill with Liv81 so drove past this one on the way to grab some dinner....TFTC
Yes 3rd cache in 20mins on a roll......even her the musical sounds of you've got a friend in me lovley ....lets go one more for tonight...SL.
Had a quick look, but with high muggle activity, and being quite warm, we decided to leave it for another day.
Took a while. Women wanted to use the public phone fit a serious discussion with her partner who had left her. Finally she left and we could search in peace. Lovely building that has been nicely restored.
Came to Nowra to get away from the city for a few days and find some local caches. 1st one for the trip. TFTC
Found on the way to Woollies on the day before Christmas. Yuckky butts in there too, but TFTC

Visited here to day with a new container, but alas it was not suitable. Back to the drawing board.................
Warm day better than yesterday cold with windy... Easy to find as hide very well thanks 
Have been here at the Shoalhaven Eisteddfod nearly every day for the past three weeks, without the team or the GPS, but methinks I may have spied some geocachers in the vicinity. Today was our turn to search the gardens and any likely hidey hole. Found reasonably quickly. Yay! SL, TNLN, TFTC RiverRuners
This one took a little while to find but after some searching and a near miss by the popo, we had the cache in hand. I love this building, TFTC! n_n
Found with snorris and marachup. Gizmo had us looking in the wrong spot, but snorris widened the search and made the find. Thanks.
Found with paulyman and marachup today while visiting family in Nowra. Given the hint we were looking for something specific, and after a bit of searching we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC.
This one had me stumped for a while, GPSr was taking me all over the place.
But found it in the end after being quizzed by the local shire worker who wanted to know if I had found it yet.
Thanks RiverRunners.

After yesterday's DNF, I contacted a previous finder and was given a broad hint. Even with this hint I took my time finding it. Eventually the cache was located.
Interesting building, one I had seen but not noticed before. Thanks for showing me it a bit more.

Found with Maximoo and the geokids. Might have even convinced a non-cacher to give it a go. Tftc.
Lots of Muggles today. I did manage to search the two obvious items, but came up empty. Maybe next time
TCTF anyway.

Looked at the wrong thing for a while then realised my mistake and made a quick find. The streak continues! TFTC.
My daughter loved finding 'treasure' inside this one. Thanks. Left one for the next person.
A rare moment... In town and not on a non-caching mission. So I had time for a quick caching mission. Only two problems. No GPS and no pen. Oh well, how hard could a micro be around here. After a brief reconnaissance of possible hidey holes I lucked upon the correct location. Now I just need to go back with a pen to properly log my visit. Thanks RiverRuners.
Some weeks have past since I have been able to find this little treasure. Great to see the container again.
Thanks Riveruner for creating another cache in an iconic location.
Left a tiny star to shine
