TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Log full
Lovely spot & this had us going round & round. Luckily after a persistent search cache was found.
Was about to give up when we ran a hand over our previous areas and BAM! CIH. TFTC
Dropped a rock here for NSW rocks people as well.
Log seems very full.

After some numbers today to keep the Caching Calendar Gods happy, so decided to head south to the area near Mount Kembla.
A very pleasant, yet sobering day, with many caches referencing the mining tragedy of 1902.
Found almost everything I went for, including a few with recent DNFs. That's always satisfying.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Well, that's an interesting sculpture.
I was a little worried that the last log was a DNF, and also about the number of muggles walking past.
Finally got a break in the passing parade and went for the spot I expected it to be. Luckily, I just happened to be at the correct angle first up to spot something worth further investigation. Made the grab.
Gotcha!
Not sure if there is supposed to be another component to the hide, but at least I had both camo and log.
Completed signing duties and replaced as found.
Now to retrace my steps.
A favourite here for the series.

Great spontaneous outing today with Stumble's Mate to clean up a bit of the local map with finds. Wonderful history here today and what a lump to find!! TFTC!
Sneaky little hide and nice work on the container. Very pleasant path here despite the history. TFTC!
FINALLY! This stretch of caches has haunted us for a long time, but we got there in the end.
This is the 3rd or 4th attempt at this one. Started where it actually is, then moved elsewhere, then came back to it. TFTC

Was convinced this would be an easy find. Had a few good stretches of time with no muggles. I need a t-shirt that says "I tried to find Memorial Pathway 1 but all I got was this stupid NSW Rock"
That took way longer than it should have. Awarded a favourite from us due to the effort put into the cute container.
Nice first one on the walk. Used to walk this path years ago and little did I know all these treasures were hidden! Forgot to bring pen
Took awhile but got there in the end. Liked the cache! Thanks for hiding it.
Took quite a while with walkers coming past at different times, but I eventually got there. Of course it was the only tiny spot I had not checked. TFTC
This is being our abilities for the time being. Also not keen while the guardians are in residence
Finally back for another look and without a soul in sight made a quick find.
Love the container.
Don't come of a morning as there are so many walkers it is like Pitt St.

The first find for the day was week earned. I almost walked off after trying to search with my fingers, while eyeing of the wasp on its small nest above.
I eventually found the right angle to spot the hiding location.
A nice little camp.

Had to search for a while to get CIH. Chatted with the neighbour. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC
Got down low and had the local neighbour interested. He and we were impressed with the camo. I guess he might surprise a few seekers in the future, but he is very friendly and good for a chat. Great walkway and historical series. TFTC
Another quick find on the memorial pathway, luckily there was not another soul in sight so I got down and low and made the find with my eyes. I love the container as well! Thank you
Looked and looked, felt and felt, even though I didnt have gloves, but could not find it
Quick find. Sadly my pen didn't feel like working so I took a photo of the log! Tftc!
Lovely one as the dark descended. Barely managed to secure the fund
Thanks.

A day out with the seaker200 team. This shared pathway is lovely. And comes with a lot of history for me. Gets a fav.
Spent quite a bit of time looking, but no luck. Not sure if it’s missing or if we just missed it.
So many walking muggles I just couldn't get a good go at it. Down on all fours for a quick look but it was very quick.
Next time.
Next time.
Headed out with Mizmaz this afternoon to grab a few local caches that'd popped up while I was on holidays. Parking at the eastern end we enjoyed a nice walk around this trail.
Got this one after having to check nearby spots as we didnt get it on the first feel.
Thanks

Unexpected invite from Mr Rat to join him today had me ticking off this series bit sooner than I’d planned. Still, the company and second set of eyes made for a pleasant and collaborative stroll along the pathway. Clue kept us glued to an obvious structure and eventually the trickiest of the lot was located by touch. Glad that’s all we felt
One log stood out as a great hint. Not exactly what I was expecting after all the others. Thanks for the little series.
Found while bird watching with Gronk and Juno. Found the 2nd time on the way back.
Took advantage of the day off by clearing out more of my 50km radius. I put a significant dint in the map, finding 26 caches in total! Thanks to all the Cache Owners for their caches.
An easy find on this impressive structure. TFTC

On the way home this arvo I decided to pick up a couple of these freshly minted caches.
A very interesting area with a lot of sadness too.
I loved the miniature rail and the diesel loco close by the trail. Another bonus was to see part of the remains (sleepers and rail plates) that have been left as a reminder on the spur line that one ran into the mine site.
A straight forward find with a muddy knee Did the signing and put back as found. TFTC Jet
