TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
I had come up to look for this cache with another Cacher, while an event was going on nearby, but we couldn't find it. After the event another cacher from the event who had already found the cache came and helped, gosh it sure does blend in well, Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl
Found It!Walked up here from the nearby event with Martin cousins who knew where this one was. It's surprisingly well hidden there!TFTC
TFTC Find # - 93OCW - GeoLorikeet Notes - The actual location is 6-7m away from the posted coordinates Good hide but the coordinates may need updating
Scoured the whole area for 30 minutes and still could not find the cache. Could have possibly been misplaced or taken with all the bush regeneration happening
Great view though!
Great view though!
No luck - approached from the lower track then managed to scramble up the slope in slippery conditions to begin search on this level. Thanks anyway. Great view with dusk lighting!
Definitely overthought this one and left the path when we didn’t need to. Finally had a reveal moment after carefully studying the images others had uploaded. In hindsight we just really overcooked it. OCW Martin cousins.

I’ve had COViD once, it was not severe for which I am very grateful.
Have has several other viruses in the last couple of years that were much worse, and a waterborne infection while camping that cut the trip short and made me question my dignity for six days.

OCW JennyFromTheFarm, now I’ve had this Covid twice and found it today. Made the grab comfortably without leaving the path. This one had us painstakingly everywhere before that doh moment.
No need to step off the bitumen path at all, thanks for the hide

Time to revenge a DNF. No Covid for me all these years, even when my partner caught it.
The GPS was not sure about the correct spot, but armed with a hint this turned out to be an easy find.

Visiting Australia from Guernsey. Channel Islands and delighted to have found cache. TYVM
We were in the area and thought we’d take a walk down here. Due to a tree down, we walked further than expected. Down one side and then back up and around to the other side. Really nice views and interesting arrangement of houses on the hill. Would like to come back and check out the little beach below. GZ was deserted and container found where the coordinates took us. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek
I’m visiting from Brisbane and decided to do a walk from Milson’s Point to Bradley’s Head, finding caches along the way.
The nearby bridge on my route has come down, so the track was detoured to the road above. However, I was able to backtrack from the other end. After a few minutes of searching, I saw something that I thought the cache could be hiding behind and it was - about 8m out. I could hear people above but no one on the track because of the track closure. Tftc

I was naughty and entered the track from the eastern end and made my way to GZ. What a pleasure to be able to retrieve a cache comfortably while standing. The camo was obvious.

Bit off the geolocation! Thanks to the previous log that mentioned not having to crouch/go off track. TFTC
Quick lunch time ferry trip over to Mosman to collect on old and a reasonable new one. This one was the old one. I'd been here before without much and today with a little info from a prior finder I still needed a good hunt around the growth but was soon reward for my effort. Coords were good for me. What a lovely area. Thanks for placing this cache Mcdicka #1676
Checked all the comments but still couldn’t find. The coordinates were a bit off the path, but was still fun to look and a nice view. 
Our last find of the day, made life hard for ourselves climbing all the way up from the low path >_< That'll teach us to read previous logs first in future! Reading previous logs helped narrow the search area. Good to know one doesn't actually need to leave the path to find this one - TFTC!
A lovely day to be about geocaching - especially in such a pleasant area as this.
This took me quite a while to find: not in one of the “obvious” places. Still, I got some clues from previous logs, and they helped greatly.

Was a bit worried after seeing the DNFs before me, he managed to track this one down after previous logs were scoured (as were ALL walls). Nice view from up here. Having not done either the upper wall or the lower wall before, I ended up doing a bit of a loop to be able to get the high Rd and the low Rd. Meant I got to Scotland before myself.
Tftc!
Tftc!
Looked where comments seem to suggest it should be but no joy. Great view though…
Found! Took me a while ^^ cleaned up the container slightly and provided dry bit of paper. Old logbook damp.
No luck for me today, but I've now some extra info from yeah_nah_brizza so hopefully back soon to make the find.
I was 6/7 meters off from where it was showing me. About 15mins of brain power later I managed to get the win. TFTC!
Made this one much harder for myself by starting on the wrong path but eventually got on the right track. Sneaky hide. Log too wet to sign (thanks La Niña)! TFTC!
Just take a breath and look around you. No need ro go to the bushes or walk away from the spot
It’s there, just well hidden behind a rock around chest height. Lovely spot thank you, with the beautiful sound of a Willy wagtail to accompany the experience.
was looking high path and low path within 20m of said geocacheA nice easy find in a beautiful spot.
I was looking for somewhere i could go for a walk and pick up a cache and this fit the bill.
I spotted where it was pretty quickly but had to wait to pick it up as a couple walked passed and decided to stop and enjoy the view just down from the GZ.
Thanks.

What a beautiful part of the world, especially at night. Made a quick find after a short search.

This was close to a place I once frequented back when there was a dilapidated footbridge across the bay. The GPS thought I should take a giant leap but I did a bit of torchlight searching where I was first. Thanks Mcdicka.
Really nice view from here. The cache was quite wet inside, so I did my best to clean it up a bit. Left a little something to brighten up the seekers in these COVID times. TFTC

A leisurely stroll today with the Geowife around Cremorne Point. Started with the two recent traditionals, and then grabbed the three ALs nearest the lighthouse. A nice day for it with no wind to chill the bones.
I was after calendar finds today, but the two physical caches will do.
No great problems with any of them, except one issue with a container - already reported by a previous finder.
Then home and out for dinner with the family.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked between the two physicals and made our way to the first target.
A few spots, including GZ, yielded great views of the bay. We spotted the ferries Supply, Golden Grove and Alexander (all named after First Fleet ships) while walking.
At GZ I picked the wrong side of the track - looked mire obvious. But with nothing spotted transferred to the other side and soon noticed something suss.
Yep, that's it.
Competed signing duties and replaced.
Onwards - well, back the way we came - to the next one.

This is a great find - if you are on the lower path follow right to towards the ferry there is an upper path an easy find up there ans a beautiful spot Rick 4 / Trace 3
Cool location, even if Tracy was the one that found it!!! Still up 4-3 for the day!!
Don’t climb up the hill, take the path less travelled!

I was on the main path and I got within 12m. Then I read the cache description again. I was a bit confused about this other path but eventually I found it. Got close to GZ and started looking but to no avail. Read previous logs which narrowed it down. The first spot I turned over was the cache.
Great spot, but despite extensive search, could not find. Only 1 from 3 on today's outing. Not good for my aim to hit 100 this month...
Finally found this one icw georabbit. Hi side. After a good hour or so, I extended the search. There is no need to bushbash for this one. TFTH TFTC SL. Great view, awesome area for a walk. Had a nice chat with a Sydney chap, Alex. All part of the journey.
Gr8 location for a hide and worth the views. SL TFTC TFTH Replaced cache as found ready for the next adventurer Thanks and cache on
A quick find on TRLT with the accurate coords. Lovely views from up there. TFTC Mcdicka.
Like most, I made this one harder than it needed to be for the T rating, after a key word in a previous log I instantly had cache in hand. TFTC
Today we headed to the other side of the Spit Bridge to grab some caches for International Geocaching Day 2020, and to make a start on the new "Wonders of the World" geo-challenge. Also needed some more finds for the final Memory Lane geo-challenge Souvenir. Started off at Cremorne Point, then down to Tunks Park at Northbridge, and then finished the day at an undisclosed location for a solved Puzzle cache, which hadn't been found for well over 2 years! This was the 1st of 5 finds for the day.
Parked the geomobile in one of the parking slots near the Mosman Bay Ferry Wharf, then followed the road around past the Mosman Bay Marina, and then along the pathway to GZ. Quickly uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. It's a good view down into Mosman Bay from GZ. TFTC Mcdicka.
Happy International Geocaching Day everyone

Made it a bit more difficult than necessary. A recent log pointed me in the right direction. TNLN SL TFTC.
