Any news on this one Lawnikky?

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Sifting through my bookmark lists, I found that there is quite a few caches that need attention from their respective owners or the local community volunteer reviewers.

Any chance the CO can check on this one?
Thank you

Cache not available

No lick

A cycle-caching day-trip to the Illawarra area on a 'warm' day. Spent most of the time looking for taps and bubblers to stay hydrated.

Nice view up here. Unfortunately, this turned out to be my one DNF of the day.
Found some artefacts that suggested I found the hiding spot but that the container might be missing. Messaged CO who concurred with my speculation.
CO very generously offered a 'virtual' Find. But I'll post the DNF for now and log a 'real' find when I'm next in this area. Not to mention this hilltop is definitely worth revisiting.
Thanks for the imminent TFTC, Lawnikky

Found with nissan 65. Bit of a dumping ground here. Thanku for the cache

Found with cullum 68 on this lovely day thanks for the cache

The gates were open as we also arrived at the car graveyard on top of the hill. We also had to dodge these wrecks just like Bonfire7 had done before us.
Cache located and log signed.
Thanks for the experience Lawnikkly.

The gate was opened so I could drive all the way up,once up there I had to dodge all the burnt out cars and other crap to park up near GZ,I soon found it and moved on,not a nice spot

Whilst visiting the area for a very quick visit, I decided that I had to cross off a few of those "haven't yet found" caches.

This location brought back quite a few memories, having grown up only streets away. TFTC

A 400m walk uphill. Good exercise and great views from GZ. Nicely hidden, just out of sight. TFTC

Nice view from the top of the hill

Tricky uphill find on the geobikes. Good view up here. tftc

Another cache for the day to keep my streak alive. Before picking up my kids. Nice and easy one. Found it on the ground, enjoyed the view and Periscoped my adventure.
Cheers

Lovely view great from the top

Plans were set in place with fitzy_1965 for a weekend caching mission around the Illawarra region We had a great time nabbing a whole bunch of caches with the only disappointment being the high number of DNF's due to missing containers

Up we went for the wander from the car for this one. Saw the glint of a familiar type of container for the find. The magnets have come loose but they still do the job of holding the container fitzy got three bonus trigs up here as well

Thanks for the hide, Lawnikky

11825. Found during a weekend caching trip to Wollongong with specimenX. Overall a great weekend with the only downer being the high number of DNFs - especially around the lake.

A plan was hatched for specimenX and myself to visit Wollongong this weekend to attempt the SES (those that we have solved anyway - we have a few left for next time) and LIPT series plus others. We arrived in Wollongong last night inorder to get an early start on the trail today. Next find for the day. Parked at the gate and hoofed it up to the top. Quick find at GZ. Log signed, cache returned and we continued on our way to the next one.

Thanks again Lawnikky !! Nice to see a few Trigs up here as well !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Well I had done one of the lower down series a while back but it was raining and with the kids never got to the top. Fixed that up today and some great views I must say down towards the lake. TFTC!

Nice walk up to the cache love the views

TFTC

Kids strike again.

Arms were scratched from the all too friendly lantana and just as I was about to huff off, I noticed something familiarly green and did triumphant FIND dance. I'm sure the security guards got a good chuckle. TFTC. These views are amazing!!

Found it. Nice view

Signed back in to the gc website. Backlogging a majority of finds over the last year. Started my own account and it's time to sync it out. To avoid confusion I wont change the date logged. Send me an email (via profile link) or a message in the message centre (also via profile link) if you have any concerns.

TFTCs

Both gates were open today, so I almost parked next to the cache Great views.

Great walk from the lake, tftc

Got it. Nice easy one. Great view. Horses came over to say hi to the geo kids too.

Top of the hill this morning. What a great view especially over the lake. A few moments of search and had the cache. Signed the log . TFTC Lawnikky.

In the area to tick off a few numerically ordered cache finds. Managed only one of the three along this road after confirming with the CO the others need maintenance. Never mind, at least my calendar day has been filled with this quick one. Only time I’ve been up here was for an SES evidence search a few years ago which happened to be a very hot day and we were grateful for some shady respite in the bunker which now seems to be boarded up. At least today was much cooler than then or yesterday’s freak April heatwave.

My favorite for today so far. Very interesting location (shame the bunker is locked up) and great views. TFTC!

Another sweet one

Great hide, great idea

Dead plant gave it away

Great little run in thongs!
Beautiful view thanks for bringing us up here.
Tftc
Boom

I can't believe how embarrassed I felt after logging a DNF on this cache before, even a PAF! I blame it on the plans I had for that day. Anyway someone seems to have sprayed the lantana, and bits of it is slowly dying. It should make this easy cache even easier to find so nothing like my last visit could happen again.
Thanks for the cache.

Another nice easy find, thanks for the walk. Oh and Tftc

The day off work had me driving down to Gerringong to Shoalhaven Heads for ~20 caches.
Unfortunately a massive storm hit the surrounding areas, so I made my way back North, through Shellharbour, Dapto, Farmborough Heights and Wollongong to pick up the new hides - making a total find count of 10 today. After all said and done, I drove through yet another huge storm on my drive home!

6th of the day, 3rd of relocation.
Quick stroll up here & I didn't actually expect to see the lake from here!
Cheers for a quick find

TFTC!! Have lived in dapto for years and have never been up here!! Easy find!!

Found!

I have some great caching plans for Australia Day. So while i was waiting for the rest of my group to arrive, I thought to find done of the easy traditionals.
All I can say is that woke there are some obvious spots to hide a cache, my scratched up arms are crying while having to log this DNF. Hopefully I will have better luck another day.

Great views from up here. A different angle to usual over the Lake. I had heard about the Bunker, but hadn't ever made the time to find it.

Cheers

Watch those speed humps if you are in a low car. Great spot and nice views from here. Thanks for showing us this spot. TFTC

Beautiful spot with the animals, we found a donkey, not that he was missing! A little creepy with the old concrete dome (whatever it is). TFTC & a great morning walk with geopup

Quit a few new caches coming out in my local area, always good to see and very welcome. Today had some spare time during work and picked most up!

Well worth the walk up the hill. 1 to find the cache , 2 for the view. TFTC

Great views from the top of this hill, TFTC

I managed to find a lot of deadbeat today. These caches made for a fun afternoon . TFTC

More of a non-attempt than a DNF.

Just as I got to the gate, an unfriendly looking young man on a motorbike came hooning past, and up the hill. I didn't fancy walking up... I'll return

Sorry for the late log on these caches, but we've been having too much fun on school holidays. We went out caching with Dad (The Rats) and after getting to the top of the hill Dad soon found this one.
Nice view
Thanks

Its going to be hot today so we're glad to have these done . Now we're off to the beach for a swim. TFTC

Great view from up here, took a little bit but found in the end.

TFTC

Ironbark.

Headed out to continue hiding my own series and thought we'd stop here as it was nearby.
A couple of possibilities here but we soon had it
Thanks

So after much hunting and failing I actually asked for some help on this one, so nice that there r like minded peeps out there to lend a hand cheers off to find the others now

First to find with Inthistogether!
It was hid at Theright height for me.
TFTC

After having Inthistogether drive past us on their way to this one I knew a FTF was out of the question.. but with 4 pairs of eyes we found what is certainly a familiar hide for the day without getting scratched up!

FTF with Golden_Tree along with and Section42 - it was a race for FTF today but I'm happy with my 2 FTF's and 1 Joint FTF. The hot tip from me is DON'T FORGET YOUR PEN LIKE I DID - I then had to walk back down the hill and up again. TFTC
