Logs
Looked around for awhile but no luck, even searched on the ground after reading past logs. Found a little frog hiding but that's about it...
Looking at Description, Hint & structure, seemed to me there were only a couple of possible hides, assuming co-ords good (and didnt pick up comments to the alternative in previous log entries).Nothing in these spots (I have a good long pair of tweezers nothing encountered.) Recent entries refer to finding log on ground not there either. Dusk approaching a good time as no muggle foot-traffic at all. Gave it 15 mins (enough to re-check sites in case Id missed something) Decided I was just wasting time, either because its not there, or it is and these two baby-blues dont want to see it. May be an idea for CO to check this one, given this and other recent log entries. Thanks for setting it up 3ferrets.
Found on the ground while introducing my muggle brother to geocaching. Unable to signlog as it was damp. took a photo as proof, and returned to where we think it should have been. TFTC
Found it mysterious animal inside where the cache is. Log wet could not sign. TFTC
Replaced the missing container with this small clear one I had I didnt have a spare log to use to replace the wet, soggy one though. Hopefully the next finder can replace the log.
Found log laying on ground, no container. Signed it, rolled up, and poked it back where I think it should have been.
Wasnt much in description to explain what i was looking for. And last person had hidden it deeper in that i missed it. Thanks to Chucktanoy for assisting me to not give up i finally found it. Replaced alittle easier to find but still hidden.
Streak Day #3712 - Stopped by with Dave8153 on a geocaching jaunt. Took a little to spot and retrieve. Hint doesn't match hide. TFTC

Nice little hide. Been after this one for a while and timed it just right with school hols on. Hint helped.
We are heading up the coast to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria.
Out grabbing a few around this area that we are staying or along the way. This container took ages to find. While I had first looked here and then expanded the search. When about to give up, returned to original spot and dug around before spotting the blighter but retrival made more difficult as it had been replaced too far in and the wrong way. Thankfully no muggles about, only passing traffic to contend with.
Thanks 3ferrets for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Nice find on our way with Techsavvy9 to an event. Cache was find quickly with a good hint and coordinates. TFTC
Out for a big day of caching on this fine Friday with Dart16

After searching for some time decided to give up and as I was leaving spotted it. Think the Co-ords might be a bit out as I was searching a different area. Thanks 3ferrets for the cache.
Yay, found it today, honestly, the only spot I didn't look.

Feeling like a big cache run today, I quickly strung out about 20x caches to do as well as pickup some furniture at the end of the day. Found some old DNF's and collected or is that didn't collect a few more DNFs for a return one day. TFTC's
No luck here today, apparently quite sneaky. I'll be back !

#9119 (12 of 13 today)
I am gradually catching up with my logging - am currently only a month and a bit behind. But that's still over 100 caches!
To be honest, while I still find searching for caches fun, I'm finding logging less so. But I have to log to get me stats and souvenirs, so...
Only a few Adventure Labs and my First2Finds have been written up in a timely manner - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.
Nevertheless, I have kept up with my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, but somehow I expect that will eventually prove too hard as I have to travel a good distance if I want more than a cache a day.
Thanks to all the CO's who have made it possible to keep my goal in sight. Most of the finds have been Traditionals, but a few Puzzle series and the odd other cache type have been grabbed where possible.
Sorry the logs are very generic, but I'll never catch back up otherwise.
###END OF GENERIC ABJECT GROVELLING SECTION###
Te Caching Calendar Gods require at least one find today - but I'm going all out and after heading up to the central Coast again, I snagged thirteen.
Targeted the area around Summerland Point, and the *Summo/Gwando* series. Enjoyed a long walk between fids there until snagging a few further south.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Easy find, but timed it very badly as school was coming out.
Ended up taking it with me to my last find of the day so as not to look creepy.
Then back after they'd all finished their pickups.

The wife crosses this over pass everyday leading a heard of kiddies, as her role as a teacher at the nearby schools. But today being a weekend in the school holidays we jumped on the road bikes and rode to Lake Munmorah from Tumbi Umbi for fun(?).
Me personally, I had only ever driven underneath the bridge so was the first time I had crossed over.
Luckily I found the cache in first place I looked, for a change. Nicely camouflaged as a 'nang', which kind if fitting for places like this.
Thanks for the cache!

Found in between rain showers. Log in great nick despite all the rain this week. TFTC!
Even with a little extra intel basically telling me it is where I am looking I still couldn’t find it, maybe it’s not there
Good cords but had me stumped for a little while. Felt like a noob when I checked the original place I looked more thoroughly TFTC
4th find with geodaughter,RyB09, today. Thank goodness we had metal tweezers that the cache attached to or we could not have retrieve it. TFTC
Timing. Been putting this one off, as i am normally on the hunt around school get out time. Seeing soccer practice is not happening at the moment, this was an opportune time to grab this, as i was a bit later than normal. Took several circumnavigations of the bridge to find this little sucker, after reading some logs. Hint did not help. Nearly lost the container forever, trying to get it out. I signed my name on the next available, and then notice that both sides are being used. Tut tut. Wonder what the etiquette for that is???, TFTC
Searched for this one just over a year ago, but had a DNF here.
Returning again with a little more information the cache was quickly found today.
Thanks 3ferrets for placing this cache

Looked in the wrong spot found a massive spider hahaha thought it was the cache until it moved...... but then located ... TFTC
Went up to the middle of the bridge for the view and to experience the wobble, then back down to find the cache. Didn't take too long to spot the little fella in it's hidey hole. A shame that the plaque is not there. Signed log and replaced a found. TFTC!
Second time around after last weeks DNF. Looking in totally the wrong spot. Nicely hidden away there, good spot.
Currently sitting on the grass pretending this is a text message waiting for the lights to go green before placing back.
Thanks for the nicely placed cache

This one took a while.
As the sun was rising, it eventually revealed something that we couldn’t see.

No luck for me. I really didn't have a lot of time to search properly. I did notice the plaque for the bridge is missing. I guess somebody stole it?
Hopefully I'll be back for a more thorough search.

We have travelled up from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, staying for a couple of nights in a park cabin at the Lake Macquarie Big4 Tourist Park in Mannering Park, to continue with our caching adventures on the Western shores of Lake Macquarie. Our previous visit to the area was in March/April 2018 for the OZ GeoMuster 2018 Lake Mac Mega Event, where our family’s chief puzzle solver had managed to solve (unassisted) a good portion of the Mega GeoArt puzzle caches that were on offer. And this new visit will hopefully see us complete most of the missing pieces of that Mega GeoArt, thanks once again to our family’s chief puzzle solver’s (unassisted) puzzle solving efforts. This was the 6th of 23 finds for the day, and 56th of 73 finds for the weekend.
We didn't realise that there was parking available right at GZ, so we parked the geomobile in Lakeway Drive, then took the shortcut track through to GZ. Quickly uncovered the hide and had CIH. Signed the tiny log roll and then replaced as found.
This pedestrian bridge looks just like the one that stood since the 1960's at Frenchs Forest (near where we live) but was sadly demolished recently for road upgrades associated with the new Northern Beaches Hospital. TFTC 3ferrets.

Found the cache and log signed. Cache on bridge log on ground. Replaced were we think it came from.
Found with Bedlem2 did not have the log in it but we looked around and found it on the ground and have replace it where it should be.
After Elisabeth Bay Curve, this was the next cache for the evening. We parked at the parking lot and started searching, both high and low. We soon focused on a particular area, but it still took some time, including searching in places where we had already searched, before finally finding the little bugger, well hidden.
Noted that the log was empty, so wonder if the previous logged finder did really find the cache.
