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.

2nd time to GZ (first search called off due to grumpy geokids) quick find made a short distance from GZ. TFTC
 
20-Aug-22
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
 
13-Jul-22
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!

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!
 
28-May-22
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!

Find #: 2,530
Companion: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Grey summer morning
Cache condition: Good

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
 
16-Oct-20
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.

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!

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.

04-Jan-18
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.

#4670 (1 of 16 today)

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

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
