Hydrant on Path Mosman, New South Wales, Australia
By kireevi on 09-Oct-22. Waypoint GCA0PJV

Quick find with Graubunden. Narrow roads make it difficult if not using public transportation! Were over here for several Sunday finds. And the name of this cache was spot on! Favourite point in a row. TFTC kireevi

It was a great created hide. Clever. Found it. Thank you

Super fun

Nice hide and was wondering why there was a hydrant here. Now I know.Both existing logs are full so place a third in which should run a while.TFTC

Quick find for us today. Beautiful views here. Tftc

Beautiful location and nice camo. Fav point from us TFTC

I have seen this view from quite a few differing view points, chasing caches, and this is one of the best. Or from the beach anyhow. I searched the area, finding some strange items, a firelighter, a plastic flower, several beer bottles. It was only once i frustratingly looked afield, that i spotted it. A very clever hide. TFTC Fav from me.

This is a popular spot to sit and enjoy the view. I had to wait quite some time for the current occupier to leave.Cache location quickly spotted, but didn't notice the cache straight away.Sneaky little hide.Thanks to the CO for bringing me to this great location.Definitely worth a favourite point.

That took its time to reveal itself, looking over here and all along its over there, another FP Kireevi

Came to see some of the wild weather. I knew what some things meant and soon found a neat hide. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

TFTC!

Clever. T FTC. great views

What a great camo and view. Tftc

A very clever hide TFTC

Great spot. Log is full. Added small piece of paper. TFTC

Clever cammo TFTC

Stood and took in the views whilst some families left the beach, but gave me some good thinking time to find the cache!

Muggle hovering, so took in the area, figured he it where this was hidden, and made my move when muggle wasnt looking. Definitely a favourite point for this one TFTC

Clever hide wonderful view TFTC

Stunning view. Could stay the whole day and more here! Smart hide. TFTC

Not too many spots it could have been really, thanks. Great views, now I wonder who has cut down those trees!?.

Nice view today that's for sure! Tftc. Good hint and good find!

Amazing cache with an awesome view. Very clever!! Found with the vicxo22. TFTC!

Did with Nick, yeah

Nice one, thank you very much

Really cool camo. Take a seat and think about itTFTC

really cool cache

Today was a wonderful Sydney spring day so we set off on the next leg of our Bondi-Manly walk; this time talking the Balmoral-Spit section (with some geocaching activity to broaden the mind).This was the second of our finds; the view from GZ was wonderful, but not wonderful enough for some locals who had vandalised some trees and shrubs to get a BETTER view from their house. See photo.The cache was quite creative; thanks for it.

What a gorgeous spot. We usually have at least one summer evening each year at the beach below but weren’t aware of this access point before. Reading the story, I thought perhaps the CO was a bit unhinged but, as it turned out, kireevi, is all together. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek

A cache check revealed that everything is in great condition.

We passed this one on our way out after finding Mosman Hideaway. All still in good order!

Another bad day. Another day maybe?

Find #: 3,182
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Grey autumn morning
Cache condition: Good

After running the nearby parkrun I headed over to the nearby park. I searched unsuccessfully for the CO's other cache before going for a quick swim (brrr), and on the way out stopped off to find this cache. Luckily I was on-wavelength this time, so quickly had CIH - nice work! TNLNSL TFTC

Couldn't find it, though only searched for a few minutes while hiking through.

Another find on a sunny Easter Friday. Parked just beside the cache, and waited for the muggles that were there to move, which they soon did.
Nice cache, jut hoping nobody in dire straits take it for what it is supposed to be.

Very cool Kanye

Out for an early morning cycle over to Mosman, made a few finds on route. Arrived at the GZ, hum let’s start there, wow cache found!! That is brilliant! And I had time to sit and watch the sunrise. A nice rest before cycling back up that hill ! Definitely fav worthy. Cache in great condition. Thanks for placing this great cache kireevi #1880

(2 of 5 today)

Keeping the calendar finds coming with five caches around the Spit - where a new slew of caches have popped up recently. And as a bonus, one of the targets for today will fill a hole in my second lap of the D/T grid.

Started with a find in a location I've previously made a find - and managed the whole thig without paying any parking fees!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Decided to do this one before one closer to my last find - the tide is lowering and as it's right on the water I'll take every advantage I can get.

Got more advantage than I anticipated as this one had me going for too long.

First of all I spotted nothing. Then I finally spotted something. But a search came up short. What am I missing? Hopefully that small brown snake for one.

So stopped the search and had a sit down and a think - and that's what it took to make the find. So obvious in the end. But that took a good 20 minutes!

Completed signing duties, replaced and off to my D/T hole!
Have a favourite for the great camo.

OCW morty8888 on a cool blustery day. Morty8888 had previously found this cache and it was on his suggestion that we stopped off here. I fiddled around for a while, looking for something that vaguely represented the cache name, however, it wasn't until morty8888 said that I had walked past the cache several times that it was CIH.

A cleverly disguised cache and worthy of a FP. TFTC kireevi.

Found - great spot - great hint - it tells you exact spot.

TYFTC!

Found it! Awesome spot!

Love the ones hidden in plain site. Quick find while an awesome boat/waterslide came cruising by. Poor kid (.. oh wait )

Find 700 for the tribe

Ocw geospouse and in our sunday best for a nearby wedding we had the chance to look for some caches including this one. Boy were we overdressed for the occasion on a stunning sweltering Sydney day! But in the area we were so caching we went.

Walked here from not a mint tin. There are some awesome stairs ascending from the beach to here, or descending depending on how you look at it! We came up to find the cache.

Geospouse again came up with the goods here. Cache found in great condition. SL and replaced as found. A majestic spot and what a lovely cache to bring up our 700 milestone. We enjoyed the stunning view for a moment but then had to move on. What a spot!

Thanks for hiding in such a lovely location! This is why we love geocaching!

A quick Christmas find this morning before the beach gets busy! TFTC!

Found 11.25am on Friday, 23rd December, 2022,

All the legal requirements as per Geocaching HQ rules and guidelines have been fulfilled for this cache to claim a find.

- I visited the area in person
- using a GPS I located the cache
- the physical log inside the cache was signed
- the cache was replaced exactly as found, including camouflage
- the area was left exactly as I found it
- an online log was completed

The best part about finding this cache was that the Fire Engine was parked in front of the hide and the Firies were in the park.
As I had to stand amongst them to retrieve what I assumed was the cache I explained our game to them and they were interested. I said lets find it and tried what I thought was the cache, and they said that was quick!

Loved this cache! Also the view is fantastic!

After spending a night in what would have to be up there as one of the best hotel experiences in Australia at the Wildlife retreat at Taronga Zoo, we took a drive down to Chinamans beach.
Really enjoyed this very creative cache hide that actually took me a few minutes to find and almost warranted a facepalm.
The cache borders the property that my Grandmother lived in the majority of her life and I have fond memories of visiting her as a kid playing on the beach and amongst the rocks. Also learnt that a chunk of what is now beautiful parkland here also belonged to my ancestors. Lovely to see so many families out on a Sunday enjoying this beautiful spot of Sydney.
Thankyou so much to the cache owner for such a great hide.

Loved this cache and the great views. Fav point awarded for the ingenuity. No room for SWAPS or drops. Cache and logbook are dry. SL TFTC TFTH. Replaced cache as found ready for the next cacher.

Brilliant hide in a brilliant spot, fav thank you

Needing at least one find for today, to increase today's cache count on our “finds by found date” matrix, we headed over the Spit Bridge to have a look at a couple of kireevi caches. This was the 1st of 2 finds for today.

Did the double shuffle in the carpark at The Spit to initiate a "legal" left turn into Parriwi Road, then down Cyprian Street to the cache location. Arrived at GZ and was impressed with the water views, then refocused our attention and made a quick find of the nicely crafted cache. Nice work! TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC kireevi.

OCW Discobob3 tonight and this was the last cache of the night. Made a quick find. TFTC

Very creative way to hide. Though a quick find with Jennyfromthefarm. Water was so calm and tranquil with no one here just as the sun set on our final cache. Time to go home for dinner! Thanks again Kireevi.

A quick trip to here and a quick park and grab. Nice hide with lovely views. TFTC!

Ten years ago, there were a number of highly creative, but ultimately guideline-offending, geocaches archived in the Sydney region. A reviewer of the day had found some of them and took the hiders to task, resulting in much angst and a heated war of words, polarising the community in what some remember as the great geocaching schism of 2012. But in reminiscing of a decade past, I digress.
I spent quite a while fruitlessly poking around the area near the hydrant in the dark before taking a different tack. A top spot to come to and catch a wonderful view and a clean sea breeze while finding a cache. Thanks kireevi.

Very good hide! TFTC

This is what I really like about geocaching. A new location to go to, a great spot with a view, and a clever hide. Favourite point from me! TFTC!

An easy find at a location with a spectacular view.
The cache was made a little easier as the container had been accidentally exposed. Put it back as well as i could.
Thanks.

Afternoon caching in Mosman with Brewmaker and Everest High.
Great hide in a stunning part of Sydney. The house right next to cache is amazing.
TFTC!

Worth coming to find this cache because of the awesome views. OCW Brewmaker and It's Dozzie. TFTC kireevi
