NO finds and a string of DNFs back to January 2015, no sign of owner since November 2014. Let's move it on.
After a morning caching on the ridgeline it was time to head into town. Searched briefly and noted all the DNFs. Adding mine to the queue. Is this one still there?
Given all the previous DNF's we weren't very hopeful of finding this one. Its definitely not there. CO needs to attend to this please.
Sadly I did not find this cache whilst on a trip to Nowra and surrounds with Steeba and The Rats. caches.
Well we had a pretty solid look here, but we did not find any sign of the cache.
Cheers

Second attempt, got it with some hints. Great place for the hide, but no easy to see. It is fun looking around the GZ. not an every day event. TFTC SqareGates.
Found with a little help from a friend! TFTC Needs maintenance, maybe a tin cache so the rats don't eat it!!
tftc nice hide when i got there we noticed there had been some rats chewing on the cache and there is a hole in the cache but nice hide and a nice area hope there wasn't any alligators there
Went with sloany14 to find this cache. A rat has chewed a hole in container and is having a meal on the log book. Need to check it
Yeah yeah and yeah
third time lucky. Im positive I looked here before. Today after three attempts I got to sign the log. Rats have eaten into the container im sure they would build a nest inside it given a chance. Thankyou SquareGates

no luck. gps had me going from one side to the other. had a reasonable look around, but might have missed something obvious. i'll have another go after i see someone manage to find it 
This one was supposed to be a park & grab on our way back from Oooh, Scary ! But a thorough search at GZ left us scratching our heads. A quick read of the logs sent us to completely different area and it wasn't long before geohubby spotted the sneaky hide. SL TFTC SquareGates
In town to watch the new Tom Cruise movie - Edge of Tomorrow. Preferred Oblivion which I've watched up-teem times. Then out here but it appears at the wrong time so perhaps I can reset the day. Stood on the bridge to define GZ which was much the same as last time - northern side of creek. Looked under & behind any & all rocks to no avail. Cache will go into Oblivion now, over & out.
Called in today with the intention of testing the other set of co-ords but Farmer Brown was working beside the bridge so had to give it a miss. Another time.
A search, and a mighty stench of dead animal. we didn't stick around too long, but perhaps will try again one day.
Thanks,
Domsky

My second attempt at this one, this time one the right side! After wasting a lot of time last time I was here, this was a methodical search, with the tell-tales signs of a nearby cache revealing themselves quickly. Thanks for the cache SquareGates.
Went back for another look, and with the help of a phone-a-friend, this time I was on the right side of the creek and looking in the right direction. The cache was soon in hand, and found to be in good condition. This is the second cache I've found here. I grabbed some coordinates while here. Thanks SquareGates for the cache
Rated: for Overall Experience
Although the coords were not fdar off, it still left a lot of possiblities! Took aboput 15 minutes of thourough search to finally see the container.

No luck here today, and the many lizards were no help, refusing to point out the cache. Not even sure which side of the creek I needed to be on; a clue would be helpful here, with the gismo not working as well as it could in this location.

I would have loved to abide by this request - "Please ensure you return it to its original location and cover well after logging your details in the supplied logbook", however couldn't find it despite a thorough search. My GZ was in amongst those big rocks - too many rocks! Oh well. Thanks SquareGates. That was my 314th DNF. Stats are stats no matter how sad.
No luck here today. The troll had been carried away by the thousands of mozzies living here. I'll be back.
Found not only the cache but fellow cachers brooka13 and Pete from Lis and Pete.
Enjoyable chat sharing caching stories.
Thanks for the cache and opportunity to meet with other cachers.
Left a star to shine

After some difficulty with the GPS, put it away and went where we thought it probably would be. Not too long before it was in hand. Ran into Brooker 13 and Wandering Star. Had a good old fashion chat about where this fun caper had taken us.
Just about to give up when Pete from Lis and Pete arrived. Pete managed the find. Having a chat when Wandering Star arrived . Good to meet fellow cachers. TFTC.
Baja15 and I are on our way to the Bay this morning, and wanted to wrestle. a crock or two. No crocks but found a cache. Cheers. TFTC
Found with friend as we made our way down south. Easily spotted once I was on the right spot. SLTN..TFTC
A great find after my last DNF on the other cache released today. And I met another two Cachers on the trail. TFTC TNLN SL.
3rd to find
Even met Weeo in the process. Congrats to Rockhopper!
A memorable birthday cache. TFTC.

FTF . Given the endless hidey holes here I found it fairly quickly, and then met WEEO on my way back to the car. It's always nice to meet fellow catchers in the field.
Thanks for your first cache Square Gates, looking forward to many more!
