No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

Looked everywhere think it needs to be archived

Reports that it is missing. Will check

Sadly, I couldn't find this either. There was an obvious location but no cache

Had a look at the most likely location and failed to find it - could see an indentation of where I think it used to be, but looks like it's gone

Easy to find. Tftc. Nice spot. Im at woy woy visiting my dad. Havnt lived here for 7.5yrs.

A nice easy find while I was on a bushwalk with my club. Found quickly the hint helped. Lovely area TFTC

TFTC we swapped 3 tradables

Found with my son Sol and daughter Mila. Sol's 2nd cache find on his 10th birthday.
Removed a mouldy wallet. Kids traded trinkets. TFTC

Found it! Good hide, beautiful spot!! TFTC

Got it this time and didn't really need a reason to come back here for a quiet ramble

What an amazing hidden location. We were staying nearby and wouldn't know about this historic place if it wasn't for your cache. So thank you very much.

Out and about in Pearl Beach this morning finding the caches here.
A lovely morning walk through town from where I parked the car. [^]
Once I got to GZ I started my search. It was not too long before I found the cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Great hide. Calum and I found it pretty quickly. There was a party going on in the nearby garden so we had to be a bit secretive. Looks like the trackable has gone from here.

It was a bit hard the kids loved it

Out chasing waterfalls, end up finding a pearl instead beautiful area tftc.
Cache was a bit damp

I have not visited this spot for awhile, and I forgot how relaxing it can be. TFTC

Tombi joined forces with myself and my two geokids (aged 2 and 4) today for the reforming of Adventure Monday. We had a range of options, but the weather looked good and the kids were in a good mood, so we decided to take on a few fairly solid challenges today.

This was close to a waypoint for a much more complex and arduous cache so we decided to grab a quick park and grab at the same time. Kids made some swaps of items. Did not notice the listed TB. TFTC

Found on a trip down here on adventure Monday with the_garbageman and his two kids. We were coming here for a puzzle multi waypoint, so though we should find this one too. Nice sized cache.
Thanks for bringing us here, the bridge crossings and nice sized cache!

TFTC nice hide

Tftc. Quick find.

17/7/16. 7:39 AM. Cache #4025.
1st of 3 finds - Pearl Beach.

Staying up at my parents' house in Green Point this weekend, so got up early for some Central Coast caching. I picked Pearl Beach as it has a few caches within my home 30km.

Started at this one. Lots of rain last night has the plants and grounds all wet but it least it wasn't raining now. I had the place all to myself, so no issues in getting down and peering into the right spots. I finally got it. Signed, replaced and then off to my next cache, "Barrel-O-GeoMonkeys II ( Reload)". TFTC and thanks for the maintenance in May, SuperMoosie.

My little sister got married here Last year. Beautiful place. Thanks

Found

Fantastic spot. TFTC

Loved this !! Great location

Arriving at GZ I spotted about 5 girls around a container. Coming closer I was sure it was the cache! We briefly talked, but I couldn't get their GC name. I was prepared to swap the 3 TBs that supposed to be there.. Well, I ended up dropping off the TB [Emma geht auf Weltreise](http://coord.info/TB61FMW) and got nothing. After signing the logbook, one of the girls replaced the cache (thanks for that!). And thanks to SuperMoosie for placing it. Beautiful spot!

Replaced cache.

Hey SuperMoosie, I'm thinking of a caching run around Pearl Beach in the next couple of weeks; any chance this one could be up and running soon?

Checked cache and it has gone missing for the first time since 2007, will replace.

No joy here either. Given the difficulty rating it should have been an easy find with a solid clue. Nothing in the most likely location.

Spent some time looking with the geo kids no luck .
Sure we were in the right spot

Looked for quite a while. Dnf

Bummer to miss this cache but a beautiful area. Looked for about 15 mins. Dnf.

Lovely spot. Pity the cache seems to have disappeared.

Late log from last weekend
Dnf despite a decent looks down that surprised me given the size!
All was not lost however as Swampy 'fessed up!
Onwards to the Black Diamond...

Very very soaked!

Everything soaked. We removed the spoon which was keeping the lid slightly open.

Found with The Ninya and D_Blaze. Left Pathtag. TFTC.

Tftc. Paper is wet and can't write on it but good find

Fun find. Logbook soaked!

Found it but as per previous logs cache is waterlogged and log unable to be written on. I put dry paper in another zip lock for log not sure how efficient that will be. Definately needs maintenance but happy that I found it in this magical spot. TFTC

A bit sad and unloved

Couldn't sign log. Sorry I didn't have any gear with me to fix
. Misty

This is a lovely little picnic spot, thanks for bringing me here TFTC

Good fun!

Found it... Great spot for a picnic...

It was fun to find in the dark, definitely an extra challenge but after finding it it was really great.

Finding the cache was a little challenging but with persistence it was achievable. The log book was quite wet so some maintenance to the container should be done to make it waterproof. In the end it was a very exciting challenge and cache to find especially with family and friends. We hope that you can find the cache.

Found it going past on a bushwalk with mates. They now know what an arboretum is... tftc

For the record the song in my head - "Walk The Moon - Shut Up And Dance"

I was brought to Patonga today in search of a FTF which I was lucky enough to get. After the thrill of getting such a good cache I decided that I would drive to Pearl Beach also and grab this one too.

I've had my eye on this one for a while but haven't really had the excuse to come here. No excuse needed today other than to grab the cache! I pulled up in the car park and walked down the trail to be surprised by what I found. What a really cool spot! Just like one of the previous finders have said, I too have been on the coast for 30 years and have never been here (to my knowledge, perhaps as a child).

I made m,y way to GZ and made a quick and easy find. I like the idea of caches like this that can be in such obvious places but because not many people go to the area they can sit there hidden so easily. I pulled out the log and inked my name on it's pages before placing it back into position.

I was tempted to have a look around but decided I would save that for another time when I bring others to the area!

TFTC cheers

A very quite area today making for an easy find. Cache contents are wet, but log is dry. I wish I could have explored the area but no geo-dogs allowed, thanks.

Great easy one for the kids

Awesome. 30 years on the coast and never been here. Thanks.

Found it and left turtle travel bug

Found it. One to daddy!

Found it. Geokids were so excited.

Found it left bug

Second of the day yay. Left tb.

nice spot the log is wet so we placed another pice of paper in a plastic bag to log our find. thanks for bring us to a nice spot . [D:]

Found in about 2.5 seconds with geo kids. Cache was totally saturated after rain all day yesterday. Log book a right off needs drying out and new log book.

Beautiful park perfect antidote to cabin fever.

With WJEA- Pearl Beach Holiday.FOUND IT!

Paper drenched.

Easy find

Found whilst spending a lovely weekend in Pearl Beach. Unfortunately the log is drenched so my photo will have to stand as proof of find.

Log is drenched and going mouldy, and items in the cache are rusting. Needs urgent maintenance. See photo in previous log.

Great cache. Lots of fun . Fairly easy.

What a lovely spot for our first cache! Couldn't get gps signal but found the cache thanks to the hint. Log book was too soggy to sign. Cache needs maintenance. Took nothing, left glow stick. TFTC

Found it. interesting especially at night.

Enjoyed the park, extra interesting at night. A waving branch in front helped clear the spiders. Joined up with team dockburn 1 to find this one. Recent rain seems to have infiltrated the cache so impossible to sign log. Have taken a picture to send the owner. Tftc. Tnln.

Cache full of water. Log in poor shape. Tftc

Fun cache, great spot. Log is all water logged. Tx

First find many more to come

Check, first find.

Searched high and low for ages but could not find it it was my first cache to find and unfortunately unsuccessful.

Travelled up the coast with pdbunce and FootyFanatics to avoid the heat in Sydney (topped 41) on a day that was 31 degrees in Umina Beach so we made the right decision by staying close to water. Found it really easily and recognised the cache container immediately. Yummy. No koalas spotted today which is a shame but pdbunce and FortyFanatics needed the wrestle some turtles.

Found it on a stinking hot Sunday while escaping to the coast with evangt and pdbunce. Last one for the day and an easy find in a lovely park. TFTC

Retrieved VW Mini Van. Where will he visit next??? TFTC!

Never knew this little park was here at the back of Pearl Beach.
Quite a nice little park area, will have to go back one day when we have more time to explore.
Our 2 yr old enjoyed chasing the turkeys while we searched.
Took Tigger Tae and left VW Mini Van at his first beach stop.....
side note - no other trackables were in the cache

Very Awesome Cache for a beginner like me. AWESOME!

Headed over to these parts with Opa-Bob to check something else out, but figured while we were here...
What a Lovely little spot I would never have bothered to visit if not for the geocache here, but as indicated, would make for a lovely (and cool) picnic spot thru Summer. We had the place to ourselves today and wandered along the pathways until we came to the right area - not sure if it was the moat direct way as it seemed the way out was much more direct. I spotted the obvious hiding spot as we entered the clearing (from 50m out) and had cache in hand before Opa-Bobs GPS had even come to the party. Shortd through the SWAG and carried out the trash, which made way for the largish TB I was carrying. Tigger Tae likes it here. Thanks for the hide

This cache epitomises what I like about geocaching ... I have been taken to a wonderful place that I never knew existed and that I now want to go back to with the geo-wife. Thanks for putting a cache here Supermoosie ... very much appreciated.

A lot easier than originally thought

Don't you think it's rude that jelly blubbers are named jelly blubbers. Self fulfilling prophecy if you ask us. Pondering the big things on this day at the beach we realized a storm was a brewing but as brave cachers we needed a quick fix before packing in the day. Driving the narrow road to the spot we found a small car park next to the path that led to our treasure. However we were constantly watched by wild muggle turkey while I performed turkey distraction dance geobff wrote in log. Lucky we're vegetarian or other solution would've been wild muggle turkey dinner! TFTC!

Lots of treasures! TFTC!!

Lots of treasures! TFTC!!

Easy find, great location

Nice area probably wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for the cache. Thanks

WIGGIN

To easy

Found it

Yeah we found it. Lovely walk. Found some nice wildlife.

Luke, Melanie and me bush turkey in the lobotomy!

No trackables

Took a bit longer then originally thought blame it on the navigator

Our bird watching and bush walking group came to this beautiful place today. A first visit for me.
Loved the rock formations and wildlife, so picturesque and peaceful.
Hadn't been planning on doing this cache but as we walked to the picnic area I realised I was looking at a spot I had seen in the photos so I went over and had a search and a cache was quickly found.

SL & rehid.
There are no trackables in the cache.

TFTC - a bonus find today!

We found it! Great spot, very peaceful

Found by Mary & David at 1335. A true pearl for David. He used to come to Pearl Beach as a boy with his family for annual holidays in the '50s and early '60s. They stayed in a little cottage on Agate Avenue (before it was sealed, and there were no houses on the north side of the road). The cottage is still there too. Before the family had a car, they would get the train to Woy Woy, then the bus to Pearl Beach. Couldn't get used to seeing people swimming in the surf along a large stretch of the beach, knowing how many sharks his Dad used to catch off that same beach! Good to see the rock pool has seen some upgrading though. The whole place is far more developed (and expensive) than it was back then, but the Crommelin name lives on. We did recognise the house that featured on Grand Designs Australia. Our thanks to SuperMoosie.

My first geocaching adventure and I found it with my family!

Found my first geocache

Beautiful spot. No TBs. TFTC.
