Quick find

Found it

Found it

First cache for my nephew and nieces!!TFTC

I found it, thank you

Thanks

This was really fun!

a few meters off GZ now but quite easy

TFTClots of mozzies

super easy find on christmas eve happy christmas!

Thats a super cool one thanks for hiding that heaps of mozzies though I put that pink thing in there

After bush bashing fir no reason we round it close to the grass. A huntsman spider is guarding it carefully. TFTC

TFTC. After traipsing through the bush for over 10 minutes, going the wrong way, we finally found it

DADDY AND LUCA

Nice walk, never been here, beautiful park!

Tftc

Great bush walk. Lovely spot

Found it and got eaten alive by Mossies! TFTC

Found it! Dyl,Gem&BabyC

Nice!

It was an adventurous walk through the bush, but it was in plain view when we found it so we hid it better. Thanks for the hide!??

Cache replaced today with log, pen and swag at the same location. New hint- look for the pretty blonde dressed in pink.

Found right on dark though didn’t expect to considering previous DNFs. It’s in bad shape with no lid and 2 buried items. Quick tidy up but I live local so will replace the cache in the next week at the same location since OP seems to have left the game…

Dnf... think its time for this to get archived...with the amount of issues noticed throughout the logs and that the owner hasn't been on for 6 years

Think it's archive time

Good spot for cache. Still no lid. Very dissaponting

No lid. no goodies. Grandson not Happy. If not maintained needs to be withdrawn!

Log missing, no lid and not much inside. Pic if needed. Needs maintenance

Needs maintenance.... no log or lid.

Unfortunately the container was open and all the goodies gone. But the three kids and I left 3 new goodies hoping to start off the fun again.

Cut our hands on spiky vines but eventually found it!

I walked to this from the nearby cache. No sign of the bower this time. After fighting with the lantana I was giving up. When I turned to go back there it was in front of me. Glad to tick this one off after a previous DNF. TFTC

Still here, cache was open. Signed and closed up, be careful of barb wire and spiky vines. Doing again

Tftc

Did not find (dnf) search for ages
And when i logged it i accidentally pressed found it woops

Looked everywhere. No idea

Found scattered through the bush (seems to have happened before). Maybe this one needs to be moved to where it won't be disturbed so much?

TFTC

Found on the 19/11/2017 at 4:43:00 PM.

A planned caching trip out to Yerranderie this weekend was cancelled due to the forecast heavy rain, but Delloro and I were still keen to get out and find some treasure, so a day trip down the coast was planned instead.
I found the area oddly familiar. It seems as though I had looked for this one before with no success.
This time we saw something on the bush we thought as rubbish at first until Delloro started to explore in that direction and found the rest of the cache open to the elements.
We signed the remaining bit of log paper. A new log is needed.
After that we were chased by a swarm of mozzies back to the car.

Thanks for the cache.

Found container open with lid lying a few metres away. Needs new log

A little hard

Found with my geopooch on a visit to my family who've all quit Sydney for the coast. Pic is of her waiting patiently while I have a fun time scrambling through thorns doing the silly thing I do TFTC!

Last log didn’t fill me with confidence of a successful find but keen to increase my tally before an overseas trip with a milestone in mind, figured I couldn’t at least not try. Took three different paths up and back down the hill but easily found a smilie at GZ. Admittedly, contents strewn through the scrub directed my attention to a container with the correct cache name written on it so added some paper to a nearby ziplock bag, reassembled and tucked it in tightly into its hide for the next finder.

Looked in a few suitable spots
No cache but possible remnants of a cache container scattered around
Maybe next time

Was sorry not to have my geocaching maintenance bag with me today. Needs maintenance as soon as able from CO. Scratched monikers into the soggy log. TFTC.

OCWST. Agree with all the other logs. Cache was loosely located and log is very soggy. Scratched our details into the wet paper and secured the cache as good as we could. Really needs some maintenance. TFTC

Found it open and everything was in water. Needs some serious maintenance urgently

Found with shrimp 92 and nissan 65. Log was laying on the ground and bag filled with water. Unable to sign log but have photo if required Thankyou for the cache

Lots of looking found log on ground and bag full of water unable to sign log have pic if required with cullum68 and shrimp92 thanks for the cache

Nice spot for a cachr. Cache was found on ground and drenched so was unable to sign. Have photo if required.

Thanks for the sunnies. We left a ball. It was well hidden but a good adventure

A popular spot for the local kids and there pushbikes.
It took me a short search then i noticed the bluebird,
TFTC

Hmmm. Should I be insulted? Heading off to the cache, two kids rode passed. 'He's playing Pokemon' one said to the other. Far from it, I'm doing the very manly sport of GeoCaching, I thought to myself

Forgot my pen, so attaching a photo of the log

Tftc. Walked around in circles for a couple of minutes then spotted it from down hill.

No luck today

TFTC
Nice easy find
Boom

Pretty spot! Tftc

Drove down the coast to grab the 2 new caches available & while I was down here I thought I'd make a day of it. Hitting double-digit finds in one day makes the trip worth it, so I picked off the remaining caches in Shellharbour, Bombo and Kiama!

Last time I attempted this, we walked no more than 30 metres before giving up as there was a string of DNF's... how wrong we were, as it seems it was still findable!

Today I picked up a quick find + 100's of mozzie bites haha. I don't think I've signed a log faster.

Cheers!!

I finally turned my 2014 DNF into a found it log, and it was so easy to find today...

Found it, logged it, NEXT!!!

Quick grab, forgot a pen again tftc

Too hard when our gps couldn't zero in. Found lots of blue items that belonged to the bird....but that's all we found.

Another day.
----------------------------------------------

Found this one after following the bird .

Find the bower bird you find the box

Sticky lantana. Fun find

Quick find despite the lantana. Nice little suburban park here. TFTC!

Found it second time here. Got the point from the Lantana both times. TFTC

co-ords a little out. But cache is there. TFTC

Chloeboyd8 and i found it while a group of sneaky rats came by

Found on a trip to Nowra and surrounds with Steeba and The Rats. When The Rats suggested a day trip to the area, none of us could say no, there are quite a few caches that have popped up around here of late. We had a great day driving around collecting some fantastic caches.

Having found the other local cache, this was to be our last stop. Again I honestly expected a DNF. As we approached we heard someone yell out, "Found it!" And thus we bumped into Jackpot31 and her two neices. I had a DNF here yesterday. Even bringing The Rats here (a previous finder) today, I still expected another DNF. I was very amazed to not only have a find, but to have teh log handed to me. Always great to meet another cache in the field, and thanks for making the find, and hence making this one super easy for me.

Our last stop for the day, onwards to home.

Cheers

Found on a day trip down to Nowra and surrounds with Hoojar and The Rats.

Another one that was great to get off my list today- we even bumoed into fellow cachers which was great. TFTC!

No luck here this afternoon for Juno and I. Our first DNF of the day. Search as we might, we could not find a cache.

same result as previous 2 logs specially re the mozzies and the bower .Cheers 4 now

Found the spiky bushes, found the blue objects, even found an old barbed wire fence, but found no trace of the cache.

Co-ords took me near bower bird collection of blue, but the actual bower is now non-existent. Previous log by CO says that cache will be moved from this location, but I can't see any change of co-ordinates on the caching page.

Anyway, the mozzies drove me out, so I didn't look further afield.

Found after a bit of a search with FreedomFinder and the geograndkid.
An interesting collection of goodies. TFTC

There was a bit of a tangle of thorny vines to get past to get to the goods, but I think I have encountered worse. Log only, Thanks for the hide.

Wow what an adventure that was!! Geokid not very fond of thorns and mossies were rife!!Very well hidden though and a great bushwalk so close to suburbia

what a day!

out with Sam again and Fido, lovely day considering the weather

Some of these today were tricky but Sam usually came up with the container

thank you

No luck this time.

Headed north to do some caching today. Never knew this reserve existed. Enjoyed the walk and nice collection of all things blue. The cache look a little time to find, about 10 mts off. Perhaps the co-ords could be updated to keep cachers away from the bower. The log was last signed by The Trio on 18 May '14, so perhaps the last log on the cache page (littlemore4) should be deleted. SL TFTC

After a bit of searching found it
A little off the beaten path

Found the bower bird nest, found the spiky bushes, didnt find the cache

I hate asparagus fern and mosquitoes. Just saying.... After a bit of searching around cache was in hand.

Well that was harder than excpected! Kids wernt impressed!!

nice cache, bit of mud and brambles but good to be out in the bush

TFTC

Left Dr Spock Geocoin, its first attempt to boldly go!

Took a bit but found not too far from co-ords just the prickle bushes of all types give you a hard time.
Loved the bower, the satin picks the best blues.
Contrary to popular belief this is not a nest but the place the male satin bower bird uses to lure in the females and seduce them. They nest elsewhere in the scrub in a higher safer place.
Still, getting interupted every time you have a few girls around would get on your goat.
No need to get close to the bower to find the cache anyway.
Maybe a clue of "west of the bower" might help to keep cachers at a distance. No one wants to see it damaged.


TFTC

Ironbark.

As others have noted not the best spot for a cache hide, and those thorns! and I don't mean the lantana! Loved the bower, but not a spot for a cache hide.

CO you could temporarily disable the cache until you relocate it, just a suggestion.

Quick find that's not too far from home.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for the cache alex pappas7.

found it them bloody bushes

with all of these comments coming though im starting to agree too them, this cache will be moved too a better location in the next coming weeks.
thankyou
sorry for the terrible hiding spot!
this cache will be moved when i get some free time in the next couple of weeks

Got there around about way, this could be a beautiful bush walking track if it wasn't for all the lantana. Soon arrived at the clue spot and nobody was home. Extended our search and soon had CIH. TFTC

Found with company. We walked in via the numerous tracks woven throughout this nice reserve. I have to aggree with previous finders that with so many other areas to hide this cache it is unfortunate that it has been placed so close to a Bower Bird nesting site which tend to be such a delicate envoromental habitat. I recomend relocating this one before the area becomes damaged. SL..TFTC

Found it

Teamed up with Wilbert and we made an assault on these 2 new caches. Found the obvious track in and the bower bird nest. Pressing on I made my way to where I had GZ and found nothing. Coming back we expanded our search until I found the cache 13m from my posted coords.

I'm not sure the location is ideal as the bower bird nest while currently not used, looks as though it does get regular use and I hate to see the nest destroyed by cachers.
Thanks

Teamed up with The Rats for this occasion and together we made a reasonable quick find only 10 meters from the Bower birds nest. Container will not last in the long term.

Ftf yay

Tftc

Found with Segway2012 on a quick run out in the evening. Tftc

Found all the things mentioned in the clue but no cache. Didn't want to disturb the bowerbird more then nesseccary. I have no idea, unless it is burried against the geocaching rules?
