No response to the NM log, CO last logged into the site in 2010 and hasn't logged a find since 2007.

Is it time for this one to go?

Geocache has been tampered with and moved. Spoke with volunteer firies who had handed cache over to police as it had condoms with suspicious substance in it. Owner please speak with firies to sort a new cache

Find Number 723, found at 15:04

The main focus of today was the event to celebrate J&J's 10,000 cache finds. As a sideline, I decided to try and beat my previous personal best of 10 different D/T combinations in a day. So, armed with a list of caches with unique D/T combinations, I set off. At the event I was joined by GeoSon NationalSteel who had found almost all of my target caches. He was able to advise which ones to tackle and which to leave for another day.

13th find and 11th D/T combination for the day. We found the container, but it was empty. No log of any kind. We took a photo if the CO needs evidence. We added a scrap of paper as a temporary replacement, signed that and replaced the container as found.

Thanks cheekyfrogs for the cache.

TFTC,
Down at the Gong and had nothing loaded in the GPS'r. This was the nearest so time to take a short trip SW. Visited a group of trackables helping to keep my continuous days going. Almost over the hump, about 102 days to go in my attempt to get 366 days including the 29.02 in the streak.
 
12-Nov-12
A quick find for us, we found a cache with a similar tricky hiding method recently which helped, TFTC!

Mission successful.

This was a relatively easy cache. This may have been due to more experience. It was really well hidden too.

Loved the camo TFTC
 
11-Nov-11
Found about 10.30pm after dinner at a friend’s place around the corner and en-route to the 11/11/11 event. Had parked in such a way to provide a light source however, distracted by my search, scared the bejesus out of myself when I heard a train approaching and looked up straight into my car headlights thinking it was the train! Once it passed, my night vision returned and heart had stopped racing, made a quick find in the first option I touched.
 
05-Nov-11
A quick find thanks to the helpful clue. TFTC!
 
28-Sep-11
3 from 3 for us this day! Clever hide. I grew up here too. we used to camp on the site in my youth way, way before any buildings were there. Geokid and I took a walk down to the top waterfall. There used to be a track to the lower fall but we didn't have time to go down there. Great memories. SL. TFTC
 
21-Sep-11
The hint was a dead give away, walked straight up to it. The RFS headquarters gate was open, but there was no need to go inside. Thanks cheekyfrogs.
 
14-Sep-11
A good cache in a lovey spot. TFTC

06-Jan-11
An easy find. A very nice view to the south.
 
01-Oct-10
Found while my geodaughter was at a piano lesson nearby. A very sneaky hide indeed. Signed the temporary log inside and thanks for the cache.
 
Meaning to do this one for a while, as it's so close to home. TFTC
 
24-Jul-10
Found cache fairly quickly, then a young local came around and I asked him which way to the waterfall, "I'll take you" so we got escorted to waterfall, glad we went, amazing what you find in the middle of suburbia. TFTC
 
28-Jun-10
Great spot, the view would have been amazing but we didn't want to trespass. So cold! Thanks.
 
07-May-10
Had this straight to hand - although I was tempted by the big structural bolts nearby. Let the Geokid replace as long as he was 'discrete' - dont think doing a happydance as he retreated counted - nice hide TFTC
 
04-Apr-10
Enjoyed the view and the cryptic clue. Very nice hide. Signed temporary log, nice and dry. TFTC
 
04-Jan-10
Quick find for Care Bear and I. Guess after caches have been around a while, you can glean more than enough from the logs. Not that I am complaining! I need all the help I can get. This is a fun cache with an excellent view from the fire station. Plus Care Bear also got to see a train going past GZ.

I took the liberty of putting a temporary log into this cache. I will replace with an official log ASAP. The old log was certainly full and given the owner hasn't logged into geocaching.com for more than 18 months, I'm not thinking he is going to change it anytime. I will scan in the old logs in due course and post a link to them.

Despite leaving my cap on I was able to find this cleverly hidden cache. Didn't dare unroll the log sheet so signed on a spare bit of space on the outside. Had thought of having a look at the view near the station but someone's dog took exception to my presence so jumped in the UAV & left. Thanks cheekyfrogs.
 
05-May-09
Quickly found on way back from Which Bridge?
 
28-Apr-09
As I saw a hide like this before it was a easy and quick find at 8.52 today. Nice hide anyway.
The logbook is full and needs replacement!

Drove right next to it and found quickly. As others have said the log book is really full and needs replacing. Thanks for the cache.
 
17-Jan-09
log sheets are full. had some but would not fit without removing old logs so left as was with new log sheets required.
 
17-Jan-09
another one for geodad. top cache clues and past finds made it easy.
 
27-Jul-08
My bush wasnt on fire, the rain saw to that! This cache has a nice location.

Thanks for the cache
 
27-Jul-08
Little Buds seems to have a knack for finding these sorts of caches and he easily found it after I walked right past the jolly thing. Thanks for taking us to an interesting spot. Perhaps we will return sometime to check out the waterfall but today wasn't the day for it - too cold and wet. TFTC
 
27-Jul-08
I found this cache easily, for some reason I just knew where to look. Found with SuperJaz, Bewilderbeest, and Ultra Violet Z. on the Wollongong Invasion weekend.

Thank you thank you!!!
 
27-Jul-08
Found with Secretsquirrel-BJC on the Wollongong Invasion. This was a fantastic weekend of fun and sun, meeting the locals, and chasing excellent caches.

Didn't have to search too long for this one. SS said hi to the local mutt while I did the cache log.
 
27-Jul-08
This is a great spot with wonderful views. The cache is also very well camoflaged. However, while the rest of us weer wondering where it might by, Little Buds just walked straight up to it and went 'found it'!

We didnt visit the waterfall, we had seen enough water falling - from the sky.

Thanks cheekyfrog for a very well done cache.

*Overall Experience: 4*
 
27-Jul-08
931(+9=940) with Captain Tomato on the Wollongong Invasion – a wonderful sunny weekend with friendly welcoming locals, finding clever hides, near spectacular coastal views, rugged escarpment and rainforest.

Talk about million dollar views for the local RFS.

Thanks cheekyfrogs for organizing the hunt and the cache!

Overall Experience: 3*

Last member of the McWiBiTe team to log this one. No one about, not even the dog mentioned later in the day. Excellent location and million dollar views. Found quickly enough.

Thanks cheekyfrogs.

So far we are on a roll today, on day 2 of the WIWE. 33rd cache for the McWiBiTe team - TFTC - no muggles around this morning.

After cleverly convincing McPhans GPS that it was actually in outer space and having promised it premium batteries as well as a boosted signal if it just pointed the other way for a few minutes. Then again it might have been the directional portable GPS jammer in my pocket or even maybe those pesky electron carrying devices overhead. This allowed me the vital few seconds it took to walk up to it and say here it is, A nice simple classic micro cache.

1273. The rest of the crew had well behaved GPSs while my etrex led me away. I suspect espionage or bribery. Quick find over yonder while I was looking at a cow pat.
