Archiving this one as it has gone missing again.

DNF for this one, I looked at all the likely you would/could hide a cache around GZ, also looked at previous logs for any hints.. grey team.
Attempted to find this at 10:59:00 AM on 23Oct2020

Found with Azzepious,
Our first for the morning on our northern adventure...
TFTC

Lots of muggles about and needed some tools to get the log out. Paper also wet.

Maintenance required, needs a new log

Found with Littlemisslonglegs
Nice find especially with a muggle parked very close lol but was too engrossed in his crossword
Thanks for the cache

Great cache

Found with dad TFTC

??

Nice scenery good hide

Found with Gum62 and BEK76 TFTC

Driving around exploring the area stopped here and looked at the rough surf. Made a quick find but took a while to get the log out of the cache. TFTC

Once we had the right tree it was an easy find. Had more trouble getting the log out to sign. Tftc

A quick find today at the second spot I looked. Yay! TNLN TFTC

Checked this one tonight while in the area. It is still in place.

We had a quick glance, but too many people are around so we will leave it for another day

#16763. We are staying with Rob's sister who lives not too far away. Decided to have a little drive and try to find a few caches - easier said that done. Muggled out at a couple of spots and a DNF on a Challenge - now that was annoying.

Last find for the afternoon. It was so busy last time we visited but today with the smoke, the cool breeze and grey skies all was quiet - only a few empty cars parked nearby. After a bit of a search Rob discovered the hiding place so we added our names and continued on our way.

Thanks grey team

First day in Lorne (NSW), and Bettyboo3747 and I popped into town for a small caching fix.
Very smoky in the area , but not a all hot today.

Luckily the sea was a bit choppy and the surf crap!
It meant there were only a few empty cars in the car park this afternoon, and the cache was soon in hand.
We had been here before but it was always too many muggles.
Thanks, Robmc.

Gotcha - Found with a lot of searching. Couldn't find it last year. Tftc

Nice little forgot or pen though

Sneaky little hide. Found ok. TFTC

Out caching with Team737 and kingfisher_au, found while in the area for the camping event at Diamond Head. Thanks for placing this cache and bringing us here.

found this one after a short search just a tad tricky but all good in the end thanks for the cache

Checked this one today. Everything is good here.

Found with Gum62

Found it

Wahhh couldn’t find this one today. Searched and searched.

We were heading back to Wauchope after a caching run through Herons Creek and Laurieton and decided that a few more caches were in order to try and reach our goal of 5000 finds (GC and GCA) before the OZGM event in July.
The cache was located very quickly as it was exposed, it was concealed better when we returned it.
Thanks for the hide grey team.

Tftc! Lovely beach good hide

Found with MoSSau

Tftc

Thanks for cache found with Loney Ra and ss

Had a few likely spots near GZ, so we split up and started searching, one of the geokids had it in a few minutes. TFTC

Did not find dew to lots of under growth very wet conditions

Thanks for the catche

Found thanks!

Tttc what a great place

Stopped for a drink at the cafe and then walked over spotted the cache almost straight away but my arrival was at the same time as all the surfers were leaving a hard retrieval signed and replaced tftc

Good one thanks

Holiday time and so many muggles! TFTC

There was quite a wait for this one as a young surfer parked right at GZ dried off, slowly engarbed herself, applied stuff to her armpits and then, finally satisfied with her toilette, departed the scene to leave an encumbered search zone. That’s after the windscreen was washed etcetera. Another car turned up almost immediately but they were soon off to the beach. Then another cacher appeared. Muggle heaven. TFTC grey team. Found 28/12/18 3:15 pm. Cache 1703 for us.

Found and logged using the Cachly app for iPhone.

A nice easy find. Ran into LBHFans as he was finding the cache as well. TFTC

On a maintenance run today. Checked this one. Replaced log and added some extra waterproofing to keep dry.

Quick easy find, log bit damp

Log Drenched unable to sign...

Lovely area.
Log was wet.
Tftc

another beautiful view

Arrived in the area yesterday and enjoying caching here. tftc.

I've had vertigo all week whilst visiting the coast so haven't been able to really geocache. Just studied to look over the ocean and noticed there was a cache directly behind us. MrGT generously made the find for me while I guess him from the car. Nice and easy find dirt him. TFTC.

A nice walk from the caravan park.
Thanks.

Tftc

Great cafe nearby and views of the sea.

Didn't find. Will come back

We're currently having a couple of days in Port Macquarie as we make our way to Brisbane for a family celebration on the long weekend, so I took the opportunity to get out and do a couple of challenge caches along the coast that I'm interested, plus a few others along the way.

I expected this to be a fairly straightforward find, but my phone's GPS had trouble communicating with the satellite gods through the cloud and tree cover. The hint was therefore gratefully accessed but I still ended up having to check the best part of a dozen trees before I came across the hide. Fortunately, there weren't too many muggles around today!

Thanks for placing a cache here at North Haven Beach grey team.

Checked on this one today. Cache was still in its hiding place but I have updated it with a new container, as the old one was rusting very quickly. Cache is still hidden in the natural surroundings in the garden between the carparks.

Missedya - Looked and looked but could not locate it.

Found

Updated coords had me on the tar on edge of carpark.
Way too populated to search for a cache here
Cheers

Got a nudge so I returned and starting an expanded search then soon noticed the tiny tiny cache....High five to me woo-hoo
TFTC

We could not find it I go my family to help but still could not find it

I searched both locations. I found the "W" but no sign of a cache. I intend coming back in a month or so. I trust you will check and advise.

Distance from original: 87.2 feet or 26.6 meters.

This cache had come off its original attachment so have moved to a different location close by.

We are staying in the area for a few days and happily we were able to find this cache. The hinge has fallen off and the cache was located in the bush. Thanks to grey team for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

By the time we arrived Grub Fred looked like he'd been having a long hard search which was because they had. But for us with impeccable precision timing, the cache was in his hand. [^] Easy find! Seeing the cache and hearing where it was made us realise what an absolute miracle it was they found it. Since we couldn't work out exactly where it'd come from we put it close by. TFTC grey team.

Find No: 6390. Visiting from Newcastle, heading home from Bill & DiMorgan's Christmas Cheer on Marbuk Event, out for the day with geono., Leslea found this little sparkly thing on the ground, couldn't work out where it really belongs so geono. hung it on the bush behind the "double wood", thanks for the cache grey team!!

Quick find on a nice arvo
Small lil thing! And such a nice beach
TFTC TNLNSL

Quick easy find

Major stealth was required for this one, there were muggles everywhere! But, as usually, the geokids provide a good cover story. Beautiful spot. TFTC

Quick find, one of the smallest containers we have seen. Thanks for the cache.

Down from Brisbane grading a few caches

TFTC

Muggles city this morning but managed to sign and put back with the help my geo wife

Find #1595
We were on our way to Diamond Head to camp, we grabbed some caches between Laurieton and Bonny Hills. On a particularly windy day we found 15 without a DNF (for once) before racing the weather to camp to get our tent up.
Such a nice spot, we had lunch here (oblivious we had left our caching backpack at the previous cache...) in the car on account of the cyclonic winds. Gets the award for the smallest container we've ever seen.... TFTC

We went camping at Diamond Head, and found some caches on the way....

### **TFTC** ###

Enjoyed pretending to take beach photos at GZ to stealth recover this cache.

I had been here 21 July, but had no luck (am sure I had looked there), but with a family eating their chips less than 10 m away I wasn't going to get too obvious.
As it was, tonight I had to wait 20 minutes for a muggle vehicle to move away so that I have a look, and found it @ 2055, pretty close to GZ, but 'obviously' unable to leave a CSM. Dry, and intact - no o-ring on this kind. no chance to leave a trackable.
Tossing up whether I would add a bookmark for the Night Caching elective, as I have heaps more than required! (Nah!)

Hi there grey team.

We found your cache **"North Haven Beach"** at 10:56:00 AM today. (This makes our total find count 17441).

Today we cached around the 'burbs' of Lauriton and North Haven with Di Morgan. we had a most enjoyable day & found 16 caches in a variety of container types and sizes (& DNF'd 1). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

Today we cached with Ian & Penny we headed south into grey team country. Most of the locations we visited had glorious views of the ocean, it helped to remind me of the wondeful area we live in.
I'm glad its not the peak of summer or this would be so much harder to look for without attracting attention.
Thanks for placing this cache grey team

This was an easy find even though a muggle wanted to have a chat with us when we arrived. One distracted the muggle while the other made a careful find. Log was signed, then it was carefully replaced and the muggle was none the wiser. Thanks grey team for placing this cache as well.

Love this spot- the waves were so clear and big. Beautiful day- quick find. TFTC

Easy find at a really lovely location. TFTC

Great easy find! Thanks.

A beautiful beach. Lucky we have a local friend who is showing us the sights, otherwise we would probably have missed it as our time here is limited.
The carpark was all but empty so it was only a short walk to GZ for a nice find.

Found at 10:15 AM GAFF5.
We were showing some good friends from Melbourne the lovely beaches and views around Camden Haven and as we were near this cache, we just had to have a go at it. Karl actually found the cache in a surprisingly open location.
Thanks grey team.
Feedback: There was no magnet attaching the cache when we found it. Just jammed in

TFTC Enjoying the drive along a beautiful coastline.

Great view. Thanks

Very quick find. Nice spot. Tftc!!! #1081
