I'm really sorry!
As I was returning the cache to its little hide it fell into a large crack and it disappeared out of sight!
It, with the log will need replacing.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Couldn't find this hide after a lengthy search on a couple of the levels. Did come across a little black snake resting on one of the ledges.
Might need checking.
Thanks. The Bushies.

A bit of a look around and found the cache a little way from where the GPSr indicated. Log is too wet to sign so I left one of my small pegs with ladybird and name. Visited a TB. TFTC Segway2012.
Definitely needs a new log.

Cute little container - log damp. lucky my gps was good here as there would have been lots of places to look. As it was a nice easy find for no. 5 on my caching morning. TFTC
On a drizzley morning with granddaughter before heading back to Campbelltown a quick find among the rocks, Log saturated out in open not in container. added new paper. TFTC
Found with Chrissy61,Lots of climbing, log not in container was soaking wet. Added new log and put back where it should have been.TFTC
Enjoyed the walk along the path from the bridge. So many spots to hide a cache here. SL TFTC
We came down from Sydney to spend the weekend camping at Killalea State Park. We have been there several times before, and like the place. Saturday we dedicated to geocaching in Shellharbour, Albion Park and surroundings. It was a hot day, with temperatures reaching 32 degrees.
We started to search on the wrong level, but as soon as we found ourselves on the right level the cache was found and the log was signed.

Now that it is spring, bees add an extra challenge to this one. Also found a lizard hidding. Soon had the cache in hand thanks to the clue. TFTC
A.P, A.P.R, O.F and Shellharbour cache run today.
9am - 3pm [8]

I came here recently but as always happens a minute or two tonight in the dark and the cache was in hand- how did I miss it before [?]? TFTC!
Came here in daylight this time to try and tick today off on the calendar and had much the same lack of luck as last time. Then I realised that second level does not mean upper level and was soon searching elsewhere for a quick find. TFTC!
Took a little while despite how easy it was. Just glad the wind deters locals for walking past while I was on the hunt.

Probably the smallest cache we've come across. Thankfully not in trees for a change. 7th cache found today and 5 were hidden in trees. Thanks
Hrm, looking for this one in the dark probably wasn't the best idea. Will look for an easier one nearby and come back for this another time. TFTC anyway!
Reperio at 1040.
Came down from Newcastle this morning ahead of the 10K Milestone event for The Rats this weekend, and today I had the chance to do a few Illawarra caches.
Parked about 100m away...and enjoyed a nice stroll along the path to GZ where the cache was found in the first place I looked.

Found with 'sesblocker'. A quick find thanks to good coords and a handy hint. TFTC
An impromptu find with no writing implement handy so electronic log only. A lucky search, parking the bike within 1m of the cache. TFTC
Not sure we would have located this one without the help of a past finder (Thanks BlacknWhite!). Thanks Segway2012 for the cache
Rated: for Overall Experience
Second try for the day and after much searching and giving up on the first and much searching for this one nearly gave up as the weather was closing in.
Looked in the right spot three times and on the fourth time must have uncovered it because there it was. TFTC.

The search seemed to take such a long time and it wasn't until we used the paf method that it was located just before the heavy rain began.
Thanks for the cache Segway2012.

Right on the money but muggles come through at speed and you can't see them coming but got the job done.

Would like to say we joins it as quick as hoojar but this was not the case. Kids came here yesterday but could not locate. Came back today with a little help but still took us a while. We were looking in the right place but just not where we were meant to be looking. Don't go much on the cache container but that me. It reminded me of my kids homework they were given and a few other recent cache finds on the area. To make an art piece out of recycled rubbish. Anyway better keep caching and get the kids back to their homework.
Is it just me or has the cache standard dropped in the Illawarra. We have a 10 year old back home putting together better caches then the ones we have found the last couple of days.

Quick find behind the first bushes I moved. I hope this is more waterproof than I think it is.

Back to Mount Terry for a few more caches today. Parked in the nearby side street and was soon eyeing off spots. After a short search the cache was in hand.
Thanks

With the new coords it is a nice find, with the old ones it can be very tricky. Unfortunately this container is not waterproof, so after some rain the log will be drenched.

We spent ages on this one, about 40 mins or so, the co-ords we taking to one area and even trying to use the updated co- ords. We were still not having any luck. Decided to give up and was walking along checking every nook and cranny...BINGO I found it, was just about to sign the log and a muggle walked around the corner, it was the C.O doing some maintenance. Nice to meet you Segway2012. I will say that our compass was still about 15m out. TFTC
Grabbed the new caches in the area with company before driving back up the mountain. SL..TFTC
My first ftf. Good hide. Tftc Segway2012.
