Description
ICEM - Caringbah
In a futile quest to complete the "I Cached Everywhere Man" series, welcome to Caringbah. While I searched for my first geocache in Caringbah at the reserve near Kareena Park, I found my first in Miranda at Karimbla Park.
Caringbah is an Aboriginal word for a pademelon wallaby. The suburb was originally called Highfield, but it is unclear whether this was a position description or whether it was named after an early resident. Caringbah was used from 1911, after the steam trams began operating between Cronulla and Sutherland.

Logs
I had a really good look for this one between cars driving past, so close to GZ. No sign of it, although I checked all possibilities in this type of construction. It looks quite new at GZ, perhaps the original construction has been replaced?
Lucky last before heading back to the ranch for a spot of din-dins. As I approached GZ, I could actually see the container so after signing the log at 18:15, I replaced it ever so slightly further in so that it can't be seen by the casual passer-by.
TNLNSL. Thanks once again Team MavEtJu.

#GA2753 - 16:00; Day six of the 2018 Oz GeoMuster mission with Sol de lune. After a night in Kempsey, the plan for today was to cache southward through Harrington, Crowdy Head, Forster Tuncurry and then in to Sydney, in particular Rockdale and Cronulla to set up for an assault on a series of puzzle caches tomorrow morning. After another early start we soon found ourselves in Harrington, then on to Crowdy Head for the trig and the lighthouse out there. After checking out the views in Crowdy Head, it was back to the highway for a while before taking the turn off for Forster and a couple more finds. Took the tourist drive back out of town, emerging near Bulahdelah and then south along the highway back to Lake Macquarie to collect a couple more caches on the way past and then to check in on the remnants of the Mega crowd in Morisset before setting off for Sydney. Made it through the traffic much better than we did on the outward leg and soon found ourselves in Rockdale where we added another dZ to our found list. Just need the locals to get some caches into Marrickville and Ashfield now to complete the set in Sydney. It was then time to head into The Shire for a last run for the evening before setting up camp for the night. This one was a nice quick find to start the mission. TFTC Team MavEtJu

Day 6 of the Sol de Lune / LuckyL10n great northern escape. Or better put, a run up the NSW coast after attending the Morisset event.
After an overnight stop at Kempsey and a visit to Crowdy Head, Forster and Rockdale, this was our next stop....after a long drive and battling the Sydney traffic. (Don't tell anyone but the traffic was pretty good today)
We parked just up the road for this one and walk back to GZ where the cache was quickly found. Log was signed, cache replaced and we were off to the nearby gardens before they closed....not that we knew that at that precise moment in time.
Thanks TMEJ....first of few of yours today...

Careful not to park at the roadside, better to walk a little. Very familiar spot!
