Hasn't been found in 12mths, lots of DNFs, and a NM lag previous. I'll log an Archive log in 1mth time
We didn't find this cache today. No worries. Maybe next time 
A nice serene spot. Thanks for bringing me here

Looked for over an hour with my son ripping through lantana and had no luck. Was fun though
We found it quickly. Unfortunately it had been wrecked by water damage and a sticky lolly. There was also lots of ants in it. We tried to fix it up as best as we could however it still needs a new container.
Heading down the 'gong way this morning with a short diversion to try my luck. Soon located and signed the log. Yes its still sticky in there. Replaced the camo to give a bit better hide. TFTC colede crew.
OMG! Spikey plants EVERYWHERE!!!! Found it myself as Stumble's Mate walked right past it!!!
Maitenance severely required. Sticky lolly still a resident here. CO....pleeeeeeaaaaaasssssse can you do something!
Found... needs attention.
Lolly left in box and is very messy.
Beware next geocacher.

Found it! Someone left a redskin in there before us that has melted and leaked everywhere, so beware when opening!
Day trip down to Wollongong - between 15 to 20 finds today.
Quick find - very open and visible

This was our first cashe this year! agent orang3 and I decided to do some night cashing, so armed with torches and practical foot ware we set off. While we were crossing the field it started to sprinkle, but we didn't let that deter us and we plundered on. At this point our gps started to get a little flaky, so we decided to engage an old tactic called decide and concur! I stayed out of the trees filled with bugs and spiders whilst agent orang3 was the sacrificial lamb, I mean brave soldier. With me navigating with the gps and agent orang3 following my Orders we soon had the cashe in hand! Clever little hiding spot.
Can just imagine how the locals would have used this place for forts during their childhoods. TFTC.
A nice quick find. Upon returning to the car, I discovered I'd picked up a leech hitchhiker. TFTC!
First cache found, how exciting! It was hidden quite well, but we saw a flash of blue which alerted us.
What a great park for kids. Nice quick find once I found somewhere to park. Turned out I'd come in a very convoluted way in the car - getting back out was much simpler. TFTC
Found with Hush5, Oh to be a kid again and play in the trees and build forts etc. What fun. The four geokids all had a play in the park before we continued on our way. TFTC
Found it Yesterday but forgot to log it, the co-ordinates were jumping everywhere and there was lots of lantana and branches in there so it made it hard to move around. My co-ordinates where pointing me in the opposite direction, but I still had a look the other way and saw it about 3 meters away.
TFTC!

Found this one to-day, last time we went looking the Car GPS took us up Hospital Rd and onto some sort of road that wasn't there,this time I looked at map and got there with no trouble. TFTC
Found with company as we grabbed some caches in the area. the hard part here was avoiding the prickles of various types. SLTN..TFTC
Found with paulyman while out caching today. Watch out for the stinging nettle near GZ!
Found easy enough, I didn't see the stinging nettle at GZ but while signing the log I suddenly felt its presence on my knee. Ouch. Thanks for the cache it is a lovely spot, you just need to keep a better eye than I did.

[green]We headed down to Warrawong to the movies today and it was nice to see some sunshine and some blue sky after such a wet day yesterday. We went to see FROZEN, which the kids loved. Afterwards we went to Shellharbour Square to look around at the sales in all the shops, it was so busy we had a lot of trouble finding a parking spot.
On the way back we made a quick detour to grab our daily cache.
This was a nice easy find and sign.(The way we like them, LOL!) TFTC

After securing another Soccer Ground cache earlier in the day, I felt much safer moving into GZ to search for this one. I moved in and immediately spotted something untoward. Closer inspection revealed the container... Ah, we like it when that happens... 
Log out and name added, I tucked things away and moved off.
Cheers colede crew.

Quick find by geoson. Scared the life out of some poor lady walking her dog when we jumped back out of the bushes though!! SL TFTC!
Last one for the afternoon and few more down. A nice little spot and didn't take long to find the cache. Kids enjoyed the playground afterwards. TFTC!
It was a very busy place to be on a Sunday afternoon. The nearby soccer ground was a buzz with a very rowdy game.
Doing the caching duties wasnt a problem as everyone was focused elsewhere.
Thanks

Thanks for a quick and easy cache. The beaches nearby are really stunning. No soccer makes it an easy find and luckily no kids around.

Telltale colour quite exposed depending on angle of approach. As it was from the most logical, replaced camo a bit better.
Would never have found it from the original co-ords, just too far and on the other side of the creek so after 2 looks I wasn't even close, but an easy find with the new numbers.

Cheeky night cache after work, the hint didn't really help us... hide itself a little obvious, I would be concerned about it being muggled, at least in its condition when found. Replaced a little better. Cheers.
On a cold and windy night I headed to GZ. Coords are maybe a little out, but as others have said, it is an easy find when you follow your instincts.
Not a great night for caching, but keeping the streak alive regardless.
