Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU.
DNF Cache today unfortunately- looking at previous logs and images we were sure we were in the right location. Im thinking it may have been taken by someone - may be worthwhile for CO to take a look and see if its still there.
Just like others, once I sat down, I was able to make the find. Pen ran out of ink so took a photo of the log. TFTC
Delighted to be here from Guernsey, Channel Islands and to have found another cache! TYVM
Today we went to see the coast at Cremorne Point and beautiful views of the city together with Marcela. We stopped by here for a quick find.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
I’m back visiting from Brisbane and spent the day on the North Shore finding 16 caches plus 2 DNFs. Only one spot where it could be really. Tftc
A quick stop on the way home from Friend’s place. Nobody around so this was a quick find. Thanks
We found it and its really fun, make sure to take a pencil as there is not one! Good luck everyone!!
I was detoured here because the trail from Cremorne Pt to the Mosman marina was closed due to the damage done to a footbridge by previous heavy rains. I searched the indicated GZ without sitting and then tested places I could sit before trying what should have been the obvious.

TFTC. After a while of looking we could not find the cache, but after looking at the past logs of other geocachers and a bit more digging were able to acquire the cache. The pencil we brought ended up being blunt, but luckily we had another one.
Overall, great caching experiance.
Thank you AussiePam

Thank you AussiePam
I made that harder than it should have been. Got to GZ and started looking, then I sat down I spotted the cache
First for the sessions caching day. A nice sit and read of the cache description. Oh look, I’m sitting right next to it! Tftc!
tftc!Glad I found this one and got some insight into the local psyche. Too funny! Signed the cache with a great view of the circular trouble maker. TFTC!

On my way to the GHHH's Community Event I cris-crossed through the surrounding area for a few of the many caches I have not found yet.
What a great story of resilience of the local community to bring back the flowers.
After getting into the green dragon the cache was found. The logbook was very wet, so photo log instead.

Great story! Got to love a fun protest by the community against the local council. Cache found and log dry enough to sign. TFTC and the story.
Nice quick little find today. Logbook saturated and unable to sign. Picture taken if required.Tftc
Was looking for a bench this whole time! Couldn't find one so took a rest... Bingo! Tftc, love the roundabout, wish I saw it in its hayday!
A nice easy find by twilight after a long day at work.
I took a detour on my way home to go for a bit of a walk and find a cache.
Thanks to the clue it didnt take me long to locate the cache.
Unfortunately the log was a little damp but i was still able to perform signing duties.
Thanks.

TFTC. Have decided to reawaken out old UK geocaching adventures due to lockdown. Our first of this new quest!

Just after a few finds today to keep the numbers ticking over - and get a decent number of finds in April for only the second time.
Thought I'd target the multis around Neutral Bay / Mosman as I'm after more for the stats.
Didn't start well with two DNFs, but it improved from there. Got three in the end, and then had diabolical traffic all the way home.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
So after two DNFs what does one do? Go to a redo of a cache I'd previously found - a traditional not a multi. Seems safe enough!
Got a park close to GZ and decided to check where I found it last time.
And there it is!
Poured water out of the container and grabbed a log which was wet in places. Thankfully I had a dry place to sign.
Replaced and... time to try another multi?

TFTC AGAIN !
Was out and about with ANVIC and this looked very familiar. Logged the original a couple of years ago . . so here we go round the roundabout.
Cheers KV

After solving a nearby puzzle, stopped here on the way home, to check out where the flowers have gone. TFTC
OMG I have finally hit the jackpot. About to give up thanks to the heat today, I went back into the car for the 2nd time to cool off. TFTC.
Found this one in the weekend when it was 40 degree heat... I nearly died as a result, well almost. I found 13 GCs that day and can I say that I often took sanctuary inside my car with the air conditioning on full. There's dedication for you to the GC cause!

Took a nice stroll down from Miliaray a road to this cache while waiting for geodaughter to arrive from the city. The plastic bag is broken and in need for some love by the CO.
Nice when this happens, you spot the cache the moment you arrive at GZ. Rarely happens but nice when it does. TFTC
Found this cache two days ago (23/6/20) after a lovely walk along the harbourside.
Placed a brand new trackable I was given a long time ago by a friend but never got around to placing.
Unfortunately I did not have a pen to log my find, but I hope this photo can be accepted!

Having found the original version of this I have left this one for a day like today. Warm sun as I sat, signed and discovered a trackable. TFTC!

In view of the easing of some Covid-19 movement restrictions, I'm re-enabling this geocache.
We have, however, been asked to continue vigilance, social distancing and sensible hygiene practices.
We have, however, been asked to continue vigilance, social distancing and sensible hygiene practices.
To help stop the spread of Covid-19, The Australian and NSW Governments require all of us to stay at home unless we are: shopping for essentials, receiving medical care, exercising or travelling to work or education.
Many of us have continued hunting geocaches – justifying this as exercise – and telling ourselves we're doing it responsibly by avoiding high urban traffic areas, practicing social distancing and hygiene etc. Some others are possibly less careful.
As a Cache Owner, I feel duty bound to follow the lead of wiser heads (wise guys?) and lessen the temptation to break curfew, so to speak. To that end, I'm now temporarily disabling all my hides. Please don't try to log them.
Hopefully, if we all do our bit for our collective well-being, our community will make it through this difficult time.
Let's stay home and work on solving some of the pesky puzzles we've been avoiding tackling. Or maybe get creative with ideas for future hides. And of course we can still geo-chat on social media.
Be safe – and keep smiling!
