Numerous DNF and a maintenance request logged. No response. It appears CO maintenance has fallen by the wayside.
Hey Paegleboy,
Any news on this one?
It'd be great to keep this one active for the Wollongong Bike Track Series!

I pulled up here to call the kids but couldn't find the cache.
Thanks anyway paegle.

The Geowife is heading to Newcastle for lunch with friends. After dropping here off at the train station, I headed south - got to keep the landmass in balance...
Ended up around Corrimal, so went for a number of caches nearby. Even grabbed a multi and a simple puzzle. By the time I headed home (90 minute drive) I had 13 finds - and a few DNFs.
Better still, there are still plenty here to grab another day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Well, sort of found it. Maybe.
Short search turned up a broken Sistema lid. Nothing else spotted.
In view of previous log this needs TLC ASAP.

A man who was watching MrsFrost and I search came over from one of the houses to point us to the right spot but it appears to have been muggled!
Out for the day to celebrate contactpetes birthday we found a few caches. Beautiful day for it!
As previously stated the hint doesn't match the location. Finally found after reading previous logs.

Must have. Been a spikey bush closer to the pole once.

Cruising on my bike on my day off. There was a man sitting at GZ in a fluro jacket. Was he another surveyor in the area? Then I saw the cache in his hands so went and introduced myself by saying "I am no muggle". A chat and a short ride together telling caching tales.
Thanks Geocaching

On a cycle ride north of the Gong. After spotting the green pipe, my compass had me heading into the scrub. After checking a few places and getting scratched I sat by the pipe to recheck the logs and then within seconds spied some camo and had CIH.
The log was a bit damp so I took the opportunity to have a snack while it aired. Then another cyclist pulls up and says "I'm not a muggle!". What a hoot! It's not often I run into other cachers by chance, but it's always good fun!
After the introductions we signed the log and replaced it. The log is quite dry now. Then we swapped a few stories while we cycled off to my next one. A pleasent surprise. TFTC.

Another quick find. Drained the water out of the container and signed the log which was on the damp side. Thanks.
Was invited to lunch by the beach and decided to get dropped off so I could walk home and hopefully pick up some caches along the way. (Lunch was awesome btw - pork roll and wine with a friend not seen in over a year). On the way home I watched the predicted East Coast Low start to roll up the coast line - spectacular! Made it home just before the wind and rain.
Log is damp but signable
Thanks for the cache!

The hint is very misleading. No need to scrape yourself up bush bashing like I just did for 10 min. The log a couple down that has us all cracking up is on target. Cache ok though log is damp but signable. TFTC.
The bike ride was quick but the GPS was way off so it took me about 20 minutes - half an hour searching. I would not of found it if I did not look through the old activity
TFTC!!!

#152 found with a few muggles about. TNLNSL I had the CIH after looking in the wrong place first. I love coastal caches. TFTC
Easy find. Not sure why this rates a 2 difficulty and the McCauleys Beach bridge rates a 1.5 though . TFTC.
Found it! We appreciate your recent upkeep & maintenance on your caches Paegle Boy, nothing worse than a missing cache! Cheers!
Looking for a good cache for geokids local tomorrow. Anyone know if this cache in place?
Could find it. High chance it was washed away in the massive surf/storm last weekend.
Nice easy find. The number of tourists standing right across (and even playing games right in the middle of) the path got quite annoying at times!
TFTC Peagle.... Thanks for the scratches.. Haha
Out Caching with Ali600, GPS slightly off, but Ali's Geosenses worked wonders and we soon had the CIH..

After reading the clue i was a bit hesitant given my attempt of the cache just to the north but gave it a go anyway and came away with a smiley.... and a LOT less scratches. TFTC

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
TFTC,
We had a day cycling from Bulli to Wollongong and return. It's now time to log my finds.
I am working towards my 3000th find and today's effort has reduced my remaining total from 46 to 27.
CIH and Visited trackables.

Found this one with my geocaching school group a while back. Came back today to sign the log. Thanks for the hide.
This took a bit longer than it should. We eventually found it in, of course, the first place we looked!

Wow, crashed around in the spikey bushes for ages then decided this was going to be my first DNF for today. Walked away and spotted it in a much easier location than expected. TFTC!

GeoWife1 and I spent the week camping at the Corrimal Tourist Park and of course we spent part of each day caching along the coast line. What a wonderful part of the country this area is, we had a most enjoyable time.
I looked in all the wrong places for some time before the penny dropped and the cache was spotted.
Log signed and cache replaced as found.

Another Bike Track cache down.
I don't know how I couldn't find this before.
Those are not spikey bushes. (turn around and point) Now these are spikey bushes!
Thanks for the cache.

Initially misled by an obvious geotrail towards matching clues, had to backtrack a bit and also ignore the arrow as cache name turned out to be more helpful in the end.
Found with miss milly after a break from gc , walked right past to start then nearly stood on
Sitting at the cafe, having a milkshake went for a stroll along the bike track, freezing cold but an easy find. (:great for our first find
