Logs
I was down this way a couple of days ago & took the photos & did the calculations once home as I knew I would be returning today – took a bit of time to hind GZ as this area is very overgrown but found the likely hiding spot & GPS was reading 0 – it met the hint description – unable to find cache – hope to complete in the future
Passing through the area today without caravan or time constraint so decided to find a handful of GCA caches along the way. This one had my attention looong before today so it was on the list to get to.
What an interesting sculpture. I liked the mosaic.
Didn't take me long and I had the cache in hand and log signed.
Time to hit the road again add I've still got a few hours travel ahead (not including caching which I might have to let go now as time is getting on).
Thanks for the interesting multi SDL

Out for a drive with Black Bunny. The wind was nasty, the cold was something else, but the caches were worth the trip!
Thanks, Sol!

Out with Just a cacher for a Sunday drive and we decided to grab a cache or two as we passed by. A quick grab here today.
Thanks for the cache Sol de lune.

I had a photo of the required info from a previous trip, so had worked out the coords before I left home. There was a break in the rain, so a slight detour and soon had cache in hand. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
A great place to visit. love the multi. Found the cache easily. Also dropped off a moveable gnome nearby. TFTC
Last of the day before heading home. No problem doing the calculations and cache found OK.
Thanks,

Stopped by to do this multi on my way up the highway for another cache. Quick calculations and quick find.

With my work done in Nowra, there was some time to have a look around the area. So I popped over to this one after a rather extended trip on my way home. A set of coords were so sorted and I was off again to make a quick find. Thanks Sdl for showing me this spot, albeit dark.

I had worked this out before I got here to save time, as I was travelling with a non geocacher, and they think I stop too many times. The cache is in good condition. The town seems improved to my last visit here, and perhaps I might think to try out a cafe next visit. TFTC Sol de lune.

Decided to do some GCA caches on my trip to Bowral today for an appointment. Have been to The Arch not so long ago for the GC traditional here, and now back again for this multi. Quickly solved the equation, then off to GZ. Probably haven't been up this section of the old Hume Hwy since it was bypassed so many years ago, so GCA has provided the reason to visit. No traffic, easy find. Left a 2016 Cancer Council pin. Thanks for multi, Sol De Lune

The number of times I have been to Marulan and I still hadn't solved and collected on this cache I got a photo of the sign last year and after that who knows what happened but I thought I had completed the entire cache and collected on it.
We have been out all day and called by Marulan for dinner which was eaten at GZ for this cache. I got the required information, calculated some co-ordinates and set about finding the cache.
The cache is in good condition considering it hasn't been found in quite a number of months. Log all signed and cache placed back in its hide't hole.
Thanks for the hide Sol De Lune.

Found 8:55pm. I wanted to grab some caches along the way on my commute between Canberra and the Central coast and this cache was suggested so I took the opportunity after dinner at Marulan to look this cache up. I had coords pretty quick and headed out to the posted location but after doing a GC cache first. At GZ I had to look around a bit before spotting my target. Thankfully it didn't take too long given the temperature. I had the log signed in next to no time and the cache returned to where it had been found.
Thanks for the cache, Sol.

Had missed out on this one a few times already, mostly because of lack of time. Today heaps of time, but the weather was not really on my side. Still decided to do the stop and have a look around. Great little multi!

#GA395 - 07:55; I was out on a caching run with the CO, so I insisted we drop by Marulan and collect the newish multi there. He was a bit coy and took me to the GC multi which had been published since my last visit. Anyway, worked out GZ for this one and headed down there, turned the geomobile around and the CO says "it's that XXXXX or that XXXXX I think!" Turned out it was neither. All good in the end though and the real hide was located and log signed before we headed off further along the highway for a big day of mainly GCA caching. TFTC Sol de lune

A Sunday drive to Goulburn for a bit of caching & waymarking. Called in on the way back just missing a heavy storm. No problems this time. Thanks Sol.

Found whilst out and about this way! After this and a couple of GCs in this town, I ended up driving up and down the main drag numerous times! Have seen the arch before. It's looking a little sad now - I think it needs a makeover! Thanks SDL.

Found on our trip to Ettalong Beach for the weekend. STF – I can’t believe that after all this time, another GCA cacher hasn’t come to find it! Anyway, it was a really cool experience to come back to this park. We had already found the cache before, but it is still fascinating to think that this is the only town that runs through the 150 longitudinal line. After the coordinates were quickly solved, it was a short drive to GZ for a quick find – while trying to be careful about the possibility of snakes. TNLNSL. TFTC SdL!

On the ay to Sydney to see a Cirque show, I allowed enough time to get the new GA caches along the way. I was great to visit this spot again and the numbers led me to a nice out of the way spot for the cache. Thanks. *FTF*

Wondered whether an * might mean divide so tried that. Took me further away to a stockyard but on private property.
Solved coords via a Groundspeak activity last night. Coords took me to a circular stormwater lid with 13 metres yet to go so looked there as otherwise would be in neighbours yard. Lid wobbles but heavy. Has protuding steel. On hand & knees but needed whipper snipper. Will visit some Waymarks instead. Ta.
