With five TBs in tow: Cheetah, Harmony Smurf, Canadian Flag, Dosenjger and Dog Tag (with his green soldier tugging the tag all the way).

Nice hide. TFTC
 
20-Mar-23
Holidaying in Sydney for the weekend (seeing Billy Bragg tonight!) and decided to walk along the harbour from the bridge west. Great to pick up a few caches on the way! Thank you for your service!

(Cache is waterlogged, needs some attention)
 
06-Mar-23
Very clear location but it still took me some time before I spotted the hide. I’m retrospect I can’t understand why, but once I saw it, there was no chance it couldn’t have been the hide. So a quick sign since it was muggles free in the area, and then I was on my way to the next one.

I’m trying to get to a 100 logs before leaving Australia, so I had to power through at least 20 hides today to not leave too much to do on my last day. 35 degree heat towards the end but I had an early start and managed to have a pretty nice day after all, with a total of 21 geocaches found! Now I need 8 logs tomorrow and I should have reached 100. Smile

A big thank you to Mr, Mrs and little Miss Nilbog_Aus for creating and maintaining this geocache, so that the rest of us can entertain our hobby. The log is signed as Bubbles.

Lovely day in beautiful Sydney ️

Visiting from Brisbane, I found this cache easily while on an enjoyable walk around Balls Head with friends. Very strong magnetic! Wonderful view so a fp. Tftc
 
13-Feb-23
An interesting dug out below here, a short search was had and the cache was soon found without a muggle insight. Cache is all good here.

Today I headed to Sydney for short meeting I needed to attend, with the rest of the day free before my flight home I decided to make my way around caching the north shore before heading back to the city to catch the train. Total of 26,000 for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Argh!!! My initial sweep found nothing and annoyingly there were some workman nearby finishing off their lunch. I must have waited 20 minutes for them to move along and then couldn’t find the cache! I decided to leav it and move on and as I walked away I looked back and could see the cache!!

Log signed and replaced as found.

Have been curious about this cache name for many years and finally today I got to tick it off my list. Logbook, even the temporary scrap of paper, absolutely soaked but managed to make my mark and return as found.
 
19-Apr-22
A gorgeous day for geocaching. After months of rain, it hit 28C today and we took advantage of the outdoors. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks around this area and all the gorgeous views.

My son and I made the trek from Waverton Park to the UFO landing pad before we quickly realized we weren't in the right spot. So we made our way to the correct spot, and as the location drew nearer, I spotted the cache from afar. Never had that experience before, so it was fun to run straight towards it, and TADAAAA.... pull it out of its hiding spot!

Geokid happily made a swap and we drunk in the gorgeous view.

The log was soaked through and needs replacement, so I left a piece of paper to help others, as a temporary measure until the logbook can be replaced.

TFTC!
 
16-Apr-22
Perfect view, need new log though, damn la Nina!
 
22-Mar-22

A little midday walk around Balls Head to collect the caches there. This was the first one on the map to target.

The landing pad was easy enough to find. Probably. But my shyness of muggles took the best of me and I tried to look more like taking photos and enjoying the views than deliberately searching for something. This spot would either need an early morning run or some camo to make the search less obvious when you're on your own. Perhaps I need to don a high-viz vest and take some spanners to look like it's all good to act odd here...

The views, however, were rewarding themselves and worth taking in.

Few checks here and there but the container remains hidden. On another day, then...

TFTH, Mr, Mrs & Little Miss Nilbog_Aus!
