Log full and zip lock ripped (no water has gotten in yet). Didnt have any to replace, sorry
A lovely bush walk to this cache. Found today with 2pods. Thanks for placing a cache here.
Playing rock and roll is better than being stoned. Geocaching is better than both of these options. Tftc
Parked the upper side of the bus stop at the start of the fire trail. Enjoyed the shortish walk to GZ where I made the find slightly different to my arrow pointer, cheers
With this the seventh and final day of my Wheel of Challenges streak and also needing to visit Westfield, I decided to kill two stones with the one bird and did the slight detour out to this one. I used lee737's coordinates and quickly found the cache, although I must admit some of the photos from previous finders also helped.
Many thanks for the hide in this nice bushland spot.

A nice walk here and a quick find. Still plenty of noise to be heard coming from the beaten track though.

2nd time to GZ (first search called off due to grumpy geokids) quick find made a short distance from GZ. TFTC
Park and short walk but after walking around and around I read some logs and noticed about 10-12 metres off GZ. Finally found, log signed. TFTC
Found after a short walk through a very wet and muddy track which made the hint harder to follow at the start of the walk than at GZ.
Looked in too obvious a place to start with, though I'm sure the cache would have been muggled long since if it was hidden there.
Thanks for the Cache!

Found this on our way home from the Newcastle Lego Show. Needed a find for today and this seemed quite a good one to locate.

Returning from a Lego show in Newcastle, Smurfyguy needed some cheap petrol. After obtaining that, Rama497 spotted a like hiding place and a quick find was made at GZ. Thanks for the geo-fun M4X13.

Tired of zooming past caches as we drive up the M1, we decided to spend the afternoon along the edges of the M1, going for those we just never seem to have the need to be driving past.... 7 finds including a trig, and a handful of DNFs, it was a great way to be out in nice weather for a change....
After a spidey-walk down from the road we knew where to start looking, only there were a few. A radius search nabbed the cache 10-12m NE from published (S101 E335).... logsheets were dry.... TFTC!

Found today on a cache drive around the Tuggerah - Ourimbah area, found 6 caches and had a few DNFs along the way, got chased away by the dark as well! Had a nice day overall with a few short walks!

In the area for a family visit and time for a quick find. A nice clean piece of open bushland for an afternoon wander. Thanks M4X13.
Mrs Cee on fire and found this one. No muggles and we had the forest to ourselves. Beautiful winters day.
Found with AprilsLost.
Coords were slightly off, but the description had us looking in all the right places, and it didn't take us long to find what we were looking for. Thanks!

After running the new Parkrun that has started nearby I headed over to find some of the nearby caches. After finding a nearby cache I spotted the trail that aimed towards this one, so ambled along and then up the hill. I circled around but eventually spotted the marker - CIH, TNLNSL, TFTC

Cloudy day today, with a little chill in the air. Parked short of the bus stop, and there is a firetrail that starts right there. And the pointer is aiming pretty much down that trail. So after a brief walk, the pointer starts to turn, so off i go, off the beaten track. Lots of spiders in their webs. Was soon at gz, and thankfully?, cache was in the first cranny i looked in. That tree is just amazing, and to think, its still living. Tftc.
Was a nice walk through the bush to get to this one. Certainly lived up to the name. TFTC!!
Found with Beary_Unicorns on a beautiful winter's morning.
Took us a while to find where to park and enter the bush, but what a beautiful little spot.

Found with shaneo58 doing some around the central Coast/Strickland National Park, coming down from Newcastle/Lake Macquarie in the morning, getting up in the low 20's deg later in the day. Made a quick find, but needed to add paper to sign the log . This is the 2nd cache of 12 for today. Log signed and caches replaced as found. Thanks For The Cache M4X13

Found it with Bill Hill531. Coords were out about 10m. Read the hint and follow your instincts. TFTC M4X13.
Found after work. Had lunch and a work medical, then came here. Nice little walk and easy enough cache after figuring out where it was from the hint, as the coords are a little off. So Smokey. Glad it was not any further from the car.
Thanks for the walk and cache!

Quick little find while walking the dog. Nice to get off the beaten track! As previous cachers mentioned, original log is a waterlogged pulp desperately in need of maintenance.
Ta for the jewelry - dog on a long lead so spent some time disentangling today
Lots of new bike tracks since I was last here

Nice walk with Taylapearce3 and GeoJess. Nice place for cache as suggested by the title. TFTC!
Nice easy find this afternoon, took nothing left nothing. Thanks for the hunt! Matt and Court
Today I headed up to the Wyong racecourse for the annual Central Coast Amateur (HAM) Radio Field Day. And after a fun filled day of HAM radio activities it was now time to head back to Sydney, but I couldn’t resist grabbing a few caches before leaving the Wyong area. This was the 4th of 7 finds for the afternoon.
After finding “GC5HFQR Pokemon Places - Dragonites home” I continued walking along the bush track, then deviated off the main track (off the beaten track?) and up the hill to reach this one. Quickly uncovered the hide, being careful not to do what the hint warned of, and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. The official log appears to be just a pulpy mess within a plastic bag, so signed the extra piece of paper that was in there (with one other signature on it) instead. TFTC M4X13.

The log looks as though it has been wet and it’s very damaged. Could not write on it. Good cache though. ️
I had to leave MrSmash and dingoman007 behind for this one while I dodged spider webs and enjoyed the tinnitus simulating cicada song. I trusted the GPS a little too firmly and after I'd looked in all the good looking spots it sent me to, I decided to regroup and looked in another spot that I hadn't considered before. And on this occasion, that last place was the right place (of course!!). Thanks M4X13.

The Geowife is hightailing it up the Central Coast for a few days - as is her wont at this time of year. I'll be at the Sydney cricket Test starting Thursday - as is my wont!
So today I thoughtfully offered to drive her up. Then I could spend the rest of the day caching in an area that I haven't cached out!
In the end I went for sixteen and managed to find the lot. Quite a few had medium walks through the bush attached to them - thus upping the average quality level of the finds.
Then the late drive home, having told Geosons #1 & #3 to arrange their own dinner. Win / Win / Win today!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
A new hide near the Geowife's friend's house. I can't let that stand!
Last time I was here I found another new cache in this park. Not so long a walk today - the main question was the route.
Winding pathless way there, a more path following route on the way out.
At GZ noticed a likely spot but the iPhone was pointing to another.
Checked the other and one or two more near that. Then came back to the likely spot. No... yes, that one!
Completed signing duties and replaced.
Good start to the day.

Did not intend to geocaching today, busy day. Coming to Tuggerah to try to find some supplies, I couldn't resist to have a look at this cache. Very neat! Nice place!

Out and about to pick up some smilies on a sunny NYD.
A nice but noisy bush walk to GZ. Love the cicadas, spotted and caught a very noisy Grey Nurse and spotted a Black Prince. A quick find at GZ but be carefull, the leaf litter on the rock is very slippery. TNLNSL. Thanks M4X13

A very Merry Minion christmas to all. On our way to christmas lunch at my mum's and stopped to find this cache. The cicada's were sooooo loud. I walked to Gz and saw something that looked logical had a look and no luck, My gps said 20 metres away so I kept walking then when I got to 20 metres my gps pointed back where i started looking first and there was the cache on the other side of where I originally looked. Thanks for the cache M4X13 tnln replaced as found sl
After a day at The Entrance I made several stops on my trip back to Sydney to hunt for caches. This was my last stop, I'd collected 6 smilies and one DNF.
After finding Corn on the ? I headed over to this one. Probably could have walked from there but I drove around to the start of the track which I recognised from a previous find there.
The track was clear but a bit squelchy underfoot after yesteday's storm. After a while the GPS pointed uphill so off I headed hoping not to do what the hint suggested!
I thought the co-ordinates were good as the GPS led me straight to the cache. Signed the logbook and visited some TBs wanting to get their miles up. Everything was replaced as found then it was carefully down the wet slippery hillside and off to the freeway and home to Sydney!

A quick find. GZ was 13 metres from where my phone was determined to put me so I resorted to using the clue which really helped. TNLN TFTC
This would have been the easiest FTF if I wasn't overseas at the time. It is 50m from my house and on our regular dog walking track! Today we finally got around to making the find. TFTC.
Nice walk, took the correct path from near "Pipped by the Post" and had found the cache easily enough. TFTC!
We were heading up the M1 and detoured to this cache. There was parking not all that far from GZ and then a track that took us close to the cache with only a short walk through open bush to a very likely place. Some camo directed us straight to the container so we were soon logged and heading back to continue our journey. I liked the final location even though the M1 was doing its best to drown out the local wildlife, so thanks M4X13 for a good hide.
FTF with Robak65. My first FTF. Was on the phone when Geo Hubby raced out and told me there was a cache near home. In the car and off we went. Mozzies were plentiful and was getting dark but soon had CIH.

Sitting at home watching TV & decided to check the phone when I saw a new geocache less than a kilometer from home...!
Grabbed the GeoWife, pen, torch etc, jumped into the car for a run up the hill. Stopped just short of the bus stop with fast fading light and following the pointer on the phone, I was off down some sort of trail.
The GeoWife was being a little more cautious wasn't far behind.
I over shot GZ a little and Aussie CBRXX came up with the goods.
Extracting the log we found it empty Yay an FTF @ 19:15
