Great catch will have to replace the paper soon, will do it next time when were back
As we travel down the coast and call into all the wonderful coastal locations we are also being greeted by whale sightings. How spectacular! Thanks for cachegreatwhitefish.
While we were waiting for a few muggles to move on we just happened to find the obvious cache container in the corner of the carpark (a film canister wrapped in camo tape). It had been run over and was somewhat squashed, but we managed to push it back into shape and the lid still fit OK. No log in sight so we signed and placed a temporary log in it and put it in a reasonable place as close as we could to the coords.On checking on GC, the CO has not been active since 2016 so for future finders it is jammed in a gap in the treated pine fence. It would be great if the next finder could place a proper log please.Moving day today, but only a very short distance as we traveled from Batehaven to Broulee.We stopped in at Tomakin, a place we often snorkeled quite a few years ago, and collected some caches there while admiring the views at the vantage points they took us to. Finishing there we moved on to Mossy Point where we found another couple of caches, again at lovely points along the coast.We had lunch at a lovely cafe back in town before finally making our way to Broulee where we have set up camp..Another good day.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Greatwhitefish.**SKI Pair****
Accompanied with ALL7, I travelled to Mouya today for a few caches, but the weather is rainy then became a little sunny. Nice walk to GZ, and lovely view... TFTC P.S. Full wet on log, need maintenance..
This is the third time Ive tried finding this one. The last two times I was a fair way off. Having looked through other posts Im very sure I found the hiding spot for this cache but there was no cache inside. Definitely needs owner attention.
DNF beautiful day! Stayed over half hour and GPS totally off as it said 0 meters in the middle of the road
Great views. Cache needs some tlc. Turned container so water will not get in. Found on the Mega Capital Geobash coastal loop via Adelaide - Barrington - coast to Mexico City loop. A lot of caches and white line fever was sweated out. Thanks Greatwhitefish and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet! Some logs signed as TAD as teamed up with Tenkae and Deanside for additional fun. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Caching around on the road trip that encompasses Barrington Tops, Sydney, the Easter Geobash Mega in Canberra then the return via who knows where to homeThis one needs a lot of TLCThanks Greatwhitefish for contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy.
Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. Wet logbook
Found while making our way northwards along the Coast Road. Staying at Dalmemey Caravan Park for last night, we traveled to our next overnight stay at a quiet free campsite near Sussex Cove, sightseeing and finding caches along the way. Thanks for the cache Greatwhitefish!
Found it on a cool and dismal day. Not great for sightseeing but good for caching. Coords out by a few metres. TFTC.
A cache trip to the coast for the 20th anniversary of the worlds first Earthcache in South Durras and as part of an Canberran invasion with a number of CBR cachers staying Moruya till Sunday. After meeting up with everyone in the Bay the day went on with some more caches along the coast, by this stage in a team with Aquilus1, Albida33 and Joolay, we were targeting cache which at least two or more of us needed including a number of ECs, a virtual and a new grand TE adventure at Mossy point. This cache: A tricky hide for this one. But following the hint would get you there eventually. I missed it on my first check but Albida looked more throughly. Thank you Greatwhitefish for putting the cache out and maintaining it.
Weekend trip to Moruya and South Durras for the Twentieth Anniversary of the Wasps Head Earth cache, First in the world. Day 1. It was an early start to catch up with other caches down in Batemans Bay. I still managed a few stops along the way and had a smooth drive down the hill, despite all the traffic. I joined up with Tankengine, Dty73, Aquillus and Joolay and headed down to Moruya via Mogo and the LABs there. A brief lunch and we collected Youban was next. The after noon was a trip in Flintones tesla with Aquillus, Joolay and myself to target the Earth caches north of Moruya along the coast. We fit in a few other caches before heading onto town for a great dinner at a local pizza shop.I remember having a look for this once before and failing. Today I was happy that as we spread out to check various locations., it was found this time. There is no lid on the tin, but the hole seems snug enough to have kept the log dry.Thanks for the cache Greatwhitefish45290.9 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2018 New Zealand A#474**Albida**
This one was a hard one! Especially at night with all the huntsmans hanging around !
Took us a bit to figure out where it was but was a really good spot can see everything amazing view
This spot seems to attract a lot of people parking their car, sitting in it for a long time observing the views. First time I arrived I had to leave to go for a swim at a nearby beach before coming back 2hrs later. Then it happened again, I thought Id wait it out. Eventually I was lucky enough to scout and find cache. Tftc
#4115Indeed it is quite a great view! I found a cache at this lookout before many years ago, thanks for bringing me back!
#4479 Parked down the bottom and made the walk up to GZ. Spent some time searching on the wrong side of the bitumen where the GPS had us concentrating.Eventually Injuryman and myself made the move toward another potential hiding area and began our interrogation.Alas it wasnt until some log surfing that a previous finder provided just enough for me to concentrate on a particular spot and I managed to come up with the find. Log paper dry enough to add our names and cache inserted back in its place. TFTC.
I was about to give up and get out of the rain when I had one last search and found it. Lovely spot. Tftc
Found this cache then it was shoes and socks off for a quick walk in the water and sand.
Took a lot of searching before finally spotting, now I can stand back and admire the views. TFTC.
Could do with a bit of love. Unfortunately I was ill equipped today. Will have to come back another time for the EarthCache anyway.
TFTC.
Found with Amethyst Jewels.

We are staying in Tomakin for a few days, and this morning, after breakfast took a walk to the headland to enjoy the views. It is windy and cool but absolutely spectacular and before jumping back in the car, we came to find this one.

We brought out the big guns for this one. The medium one navigated the way and the big one soon had his hands on it.
So many muggles around due to the whale sightings of the last few days.

Found but it's in need of maintenance, the wet log is stuck inside the lidless paper - but we got it out and signed the log, thanks for the cache
Wow! Great views. Tough search but found it in the end. Needs maintenance (no lid). Thanks for the cache.
Out for dinner. Quick find hopefully. Got to GZ. looked and looked. Where is the little bugger, Stop looking found it signed. Not so quick. Thanks
Bunadoorian, mysister and brother-in-law and myself came here after tea to continue our sight seeing tour using lookouts as our guide. This cache had us all looking but especially - Bunadoorian and I looking everywhere. Finally Bunadoorian had the cache in hand. It was tucked away very well. TFTC Greatwhitefish.
After an extensive search of the area finally the cache was found tucked away in a little hidey hole. TFTC.
Off to the south coast of NSW for a week.
Cache was surprising dry after all the wet weather. Nice hide.

First find for us! Thank you! Very overgrown, but when my son actually looked properly where I told him to we found it!!!
Very weathered and no lid so we couldn’t sign the log as it was too wet and soggy.

Went back twice and scrolled threw logs can’t seem to find it in the location it could just be because of how over grown the area was!
Very overgrown up here, and muggles everywhere! Had to give up after a bit, too many people up here.
Great location. Good view! Lid was missing so log was pretty damp. Might need a new container!
Thanks for hiding! Took us a little while but we found it!! What fun even in pouring rain
On a Mission with AngelG27, TikvaNZ and ZQX (signed as FATZ) during a public holiday in the ACT. Aim was to pick up earthcaches and some other selected caches.
Nice quick find here. Great spot. TFTC Gwf

A bonus mission to the coast mainly targeting earthcaches, with ZQX, AngelG27, and Fox in Jox due to today's public holiday in the ACT. A quick find here before catching up with the others to check out the nearby earthcache. TFTC.

Cache 8998 on 30 May 2022.
The weather forecast was not looking good, but nothing was getting in the way of a holiday Monday mission to the coast for team FATZ (Fox in Jox, AngelG27, TikvaNZ and ZQX). We did a loop from CBR to Nowra, then south to the Bay and back up the Clyde, grabbing caches of interest along the way. Not as many as planned but still a good haul!
TikvaNZ found this one after we DNFd it a couple of years ago!
Thanks Greatwhitefish for the cache and the fun!

The container needs replacing as lid is missing. Sadly I didn't have a zip lock bag but a small one would help keep the new log dry.
Spending the weekend camping and decided to pop up to the lookout and have a look. What an amazing view.
Thank you for bringing us to this amazing location!!
I also added another sheet of paper as the others were soaked and was unable to get the log out of the cache

The log is wet and needs replacing. Lid is missing but a nice spot for a view.
