Thanks for my first find!

In the gate

found it

too short to reach it

Finally found it after 3 hours in total of searching. Didnt expect where it was and was hard to get to if you arent tall.

We found it. The GPS coordinates are about five mettre off and forget looking Trees.

Could not find once again Where should I be looking?

this took way to long but so funlook for a hollow divot in the top of (A) gate

Get noobed

Nice spot to find a cache, compass is not 100% so dont look in the but with a good look u will find it

Schade

Difficult if you're vertically challenged found with Corey1404

TFTC! Quick find with ChickenEmpyre, log was hard to get out at first but managed to pry it

DNF Looked for a good 10 minutes with a friend and couldn't find it. We kept checking the app for how far it was, but it would go from 2m to 4m in one step for some reason, any hints for when we check again?

Looked everywhere but couldnt find it. Somewhere around here maybe?

Found after almost giving up. Great hiding

Found with samdoggy and hulioxxx. Log needed replacing, it was soaked. Tftc

Tftf

Found whilst doing Bondi to Manly walk with my geohiking buddies. Love it. Have replaced the log. Previous one is paper machete now. Cache guardian nearby. TFTC TNLNSL

Log really needs replacing. the spot but sadly cannot log it . TFTC!!!

Paper is wet

Not so easy for a first geochache, but got it!

Whohoo. Found it. Great find.

Well have to try again another day

Mplc trouv pas de en plus beaucoup de monde

Canon pour protger le port

TFTC

Fucking cache

Classic cache hiding spot. Cannon is distracting Log is ripped and ruined though.

Interesting location, but totally understandable. Thanks for bringing us here. We would never have known about this spot if not for the cache. Thanks.

All looks good to me!

Wow!! What about all the No Entry signs?? Oh, we found a way down, reached high, worried about spiders but we preserved and found it!! The FP is because my Geohubby got to relive his youth, growing up here as an Army Brat! TFTC!

looked everywhere

Still there!

Will check this cache this week and replace if necessary.

This is our second time looking for this one, annoyed that we can’t find it, would love another clue or hint that would majorly help

TFTC

Unfortunately no luck today

My last day in Sydney was spent walking around the lovely bushland of Middle Head. Once I read the hint, it was an easy find before muggles arrived. Log was dry when I found it. Interesting location. Tftc

DNF. This was hard I was looking around the tall grass but I couldn’t find.

Second time lucky. With a hint from the CO. Sneaky hide. Signed sort of. The paper doesn’t really like to be written on in its current condition.

Log needs replacing. Wet.

.

Looked in the wrong spot for 30 mins then got a hint form a previous finder then finally found it
TFTC

Great hiding spot, nice cannon. TFTC!

I made this a lot harder than it needed to be! Was looking in the wrong spot for like 15mins

Almost DNF'ed this one but had one last look in a place I had already tried. Very cool location and nice hide. Thanks so much!

We found it! Our first one ever too!
Took a little while to find, bug the clue helped.
The log book is falling apart and we didn’t have a pen to sign it.

M

Took a while but found! Log book could do with a replace, this bloody rain!

Tftc! Had no idea one was here! The log has a bit of water damage though so I couldn’t sign!

Great spot

Looked with a friend for a while to no avail. Any more hints anyone could give us?

Booom! Great find before work.

Glad chippymick64 was with me on this find as GPS was out 8m. Great hiding spot though in an awesome historical spot! TFTC!!

Not a find for us this time but we will try again another day!

Obey the hint for an easy find.

OCW JimmyDave, around Balmoral and Mosman. We really liked this location and enjoyed finding this cache. Thanks.

Great hide. I love walking through the old emplacements. This is one I’ve never noticed before

Been down Bradley’s head road a hundred times. Never knew this bit was here. Thanks

Hi Owner

we had a walk from Balmore Beach to Clifton Garden very nice Trip.
The cache is ok ,
Nice area here
Greetings from germany

The Logbook

Over for a swim at Balmoral and to catch the start of the Hobart from Middle Head. Lots at people around so targeted this one and made a reasonably quick find, could have been longer if not for a bit of geo sense. Thanks for placing this cache decentcachers #1260

Found whilst at an event in the park. TFTC.

A fairly quick find after checking obvious places and a process of elimination. Grabbed while at a nearby event TFTC

Nice quick find while at the GHHH event.

Loved the location of this cache! Found with Loci612.

What a fantastic cache! Incredible location, really love abandoned places and I wasn’t expecting to find this place here, I just came for the nearby event!

An obvious favourite point from me, a solid hide as well. I can see why this doesn’t go missing, well done. Shocked this doesn’t have more favourite points then, places like this are what caching is all about! Favourite from me

25,403. Found with minniek during a two day visit up to Sydney.

The draw of two Community Celebration Events in two days made us plan a route to attend them both plus knock off our remaining Sydney Local Government Areas for our quest to finish off New South Wales soon. An early afternoon start from Goulburn yesterday and we attended that neat event. After a night in a nearby hotel we hit the streets today ticking off the LGAs. Once that was done it was on to the CCE. During the very well done event, a bunch of us walked the short distance to try for this trad. Under the watchful eyes of the CO I made a pretty quick find. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then went back to the event.

Thanks decentcachers !!

It was just a matter of feeling my way until I got it. TFTC

Fitzy_1965 and I decided to head up to Sydney for the night due to a couple of Community Celebration Events on offer.

This morning we headed off into the heat that has been lacking for the past month. I'm sure it must have been 25 by 9.00am and just got hotter as the day went on. Today's aim was to pick up the last few counties we had left to collect in the Inner Sydney region and then end up at the CCE in the afternoon before heading home.

A nice quick find under the watchful eyes of the CO. What a fascinating place! and nice to meet you today decentcachers.

Never knew about these old fortifications. So interesting. No issues finding the cache but on replacing the lid, the attachment came off. The CO was still at the event and while sheepishly telling him Id broken his cache, the look of surprise . Where did I find that? Apparently It's found the missing cache and now there were 2 there.
All good the broken cache was removed.

Interesting fortifications at this location where we have not been to before. The cache was not hard to find and the log was soon signed. Thanks for bring us to see this part of Sydney's history go to decentcachers.

Found this one while attending the nearby event. Didn't know all this was here. Log was signed and replaced as found. TFTC.

Out walking on first sunny day for a while and thought I would try this one again which had eluded us a couple of times. No problems today. TFTC

Great hiding spot. Our geoson found it after focusing on one specific area. TFTC

Replaced cache today! New bison tube with fresh log!

Happy caching!

Gone sadly will replace soon!

Nice!

Goneski

Did not found I think it is gone

Did not find but if you do find your pretty good!

Got to spot. Could not find

Spent a solid halfas looking for this sneaker, will return to succeed.

Searched for half an hour and couldn’t find it.

TFTC

Cheeky hide but fun found it with a little help from JustineKinch

Couldn’t find, spent 1 hour of our Sunday looking, had a big argument with the boyfriend trying to find this. I’m hungry, I’m lost, I haven’t found the canister and my relationships on the rocks.
Was it worth it?
Yes.
I’ll be back.

Not where you’d expect! Sneaky hide

TFTC. coords were a little off, but found eventually found it.

Awesome hiding spot!

Hopefully next time. Fenced off.

Love this spot

How cool would love to explore the tunnels in the area TFTC

Tricky!!

Navigation gets a bit confused, but as long as a few spider webs don't bother you, you can find it.

Parkrun nearby and then some local caches around Mosman and Balmoral before heading south again for some caching along the way.
TFTC Wilbert67

Looked all over and no luck finding among the expected hiding spots.

Second time unlucky for me. This is not my cache.
