Really like finding recycled containers used for geocaches.Found this one on the ground and placed it back in it's pouch after signing the logThanks for the adventure and the cache [auzzy_mate](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=23db0ac0-4a44-435f-a668-e7c33d11220e) & [mizmaz.](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?id=2811097)
What a great place for a cache. Found with Samac68. She found it on the ground after I quickly found the caches proper home. We pushed the cache in snuggly in the hope that it wont fall out again. Such a beautiful day.
It was an overcast day and quite misty down the coast. Almost the perfect weather for Geocaching today - as it keeps the muggles away.
This one was a quick find but the pocket was empty of log. I've signed a leaf for a temporary log. Nice spot, I was here for the SLSC Adventure labs too.

Quick find whilst exploring this beautiful area. Thanks for placing a cache here for us to find.
Quick find but no pen after parkrun, so off to hunt one down. Found a man in the car park that had so many pens. Bingo. Back to sign the log.

Log is quiet soggy, beautiful place in the morning.
Came nearby to watch the Cycling World Championships. With a bit of time between laps it was a good opportunity to grab this cache. The find was quickly made in a clear spot. Thanks for placing it here.
In the area working on a couple of AL's, saw there was trad nearby, after reading the hint, it was a quick find, signed log and returned . Thanks to mizmaz.
TFTC,
Finished a nearby AL WP and came over to find this one. Well placed, visited trackables.

Swung by to check on reason cache is often being found on the ground (which it was again today). Amended attachment which should hold better now. Please "take care" when replacing.
Greats spot. We watched the skydivers landing, found the cache and then spent some time at the park. TFTC
What a fun case. I found this while doing a run. Thanks for the find, it was a good one
Quick duck and grab in the rain, not in his holder, but quick find on the ground, replaced back into his respectfully home. TFTC
Easy find the hint was very useful

PS the log paper is very wet and it will need maintenance
I also didn’t have a pen at the one so we took this picture

This was a double bonus for me. Not only did I find this cache on earth day. I got to identify some coastal natives. TFTC
A few caches on a nice relaxed day trip to Wollongong. Thanks fuzzy_mate and mizmaz
We're overnighting nearby as we head home after a week at Narooma, and this gave me an excuse to take an early morning walk to the beach. No problems making the find ... thanks for the smiley auzzy_mate and mizmaz.
Out with Littl3Vix on a night run tonight, we've begun to resume our night raids again a nice quick find for us once a local fisherman left. Thought I was originally saving a draft
An evening down the coast caching with Mizcupcake and after grabbing a quick bite to eat we headed to the beach. We saw a couple of caches close by and headed over. Not any muggles in sight but a couple of cars still here. We headed over to gz, and in not too long had CIH. A quick and easy cache tonight. We both completed signing duties and replaced. TFTC!
Find #162 for the tribe, day #16 of our little streak.
Out caching with the geokids this morning on a spectacular summers day in the beautiful Illawarra. They enjoyed riding the waves at Towradgi beach, first time ever for the youngest geokid. We also found the adventure lab cache at Towradgi SLSC. Will pick off the other four in that series another day.
On to this one which was an easy find at GZ complicated by plenty of muggles who were out and about today. Cache and log in remarkable condition. Log is almost full.
Thankful for those who have taken care of our dunes and beaches. The Illawarra really is a stunning area.

While camping down here in Wollongong me and my geodad wanted to get some caches. When we arrived we saw this one was a close cache so we got onto our bikes and decided to ride there in the dark and find it. Thank you for this cache and I like how it was hidden.

Found with my geo son while down here camping.
We come down every few months but haven’t done a lot of caching here though.
Great little hide with a clever cache.

A quick find in a beautiful location with an incredibly sad history. Only a couple of weeks ago I watched a documentary on Cheryl Grimmer - the anguish her brothers feel to this day absolutely broke me, as does the haunted look in her poor mother's eyes in the photo on the nearby memorial plaque. Let's hope those responsible are one day brought to justice so her family can gain some kind of closure. Sorry for the tangent, tftc!
We are staying in Wollongong for a few days and took the opportunity to grab this cache whilst we are here.
Cache was a nice quick find after a lovely walk down the beach.
Great little hide which was easy to access.
Thank you for placing this cache here in such a lovely location for our enjoyment.
TNLN TFTC.

Out for a walk with the geofam, picked this up on the way home. Nicely hidden no fuss cache nicely put together! Thanks!
Unfortunately pen decided to take a holiday, photo taken instead

New attachment method and clue amended to prevent contradiction of the hide's initial intention. Co-ords, size and DT remain the same.
Original GZ being re-assessed post-adoption. Considering a spot that doesn't contradict the cache title and requires trampling sensitive vegetation.
With social restrictions easing and reviewers agreeing it’s safe to start publishing new caches, I’m re-enabling this hide (subject to ongoing monitoring of the situation). As we get out in the field again, it’s up to all of us to stay covid free so please continue to take precautions while playing the game… for yourselves and others.
Despite warnings to stay home in a global health crisis, I’m amazed at those continuing to venture out and log finds, especially new account holders (evident by 10 or less smileys to unknown names). As a responsible CO, I am temporarily disabling all my hides (urban or remote and unloved) until “social exposure” guidelines are lifted. This is for the safety of the finders, those that follow you and those that think it is ok to venture out because someone else did. Any finds recorded before the cache is re-enabled will be deleted so your risk will have been for nothing. Thanks for understanding and stay safe!
Amazing location! Nearly lost the log cause it was so windy lol! But don’t worry, log and cache are back in the hidey hole. TFTC

)We are on our tiny tour of Australia. Mostly enjoying the area, seeing a bit of Australia and picking up caches when possible.
We were spending the night nearby and decided to go on a walk-about and enjoy the beach. Took a bit of blind searching but finally got our hands on the wee little thing.

Came to Fairy Meadow for half price cannoli but didn’t have the patience to wait in the queue, so we headed to the beach to find this cache. Great hint. Thanks mizmaz for maintaining.

This cache has good intentions, but it's hard to find and retrieve the cache without trampling the very plants it's supposed to protect... Strange one! TFTC.

8th cache found in New South Wales City Of Wollongong.
