(Don't Get) Court In The Act Wollongong East, New South Wales, Australia
By Hoojar1ARC on 09-Feb-07. Waypoint GC10V8D

Darn! Court out by not checking the latest status. Have often had a quick look for this one and had a really good look yesterday and today.

This one has gone walk-a-bout...

Visited the area with a friend who had found it previously and he said it had gone missing. Verification on this please?

TFTC Found it after 9pm no one around.. Cheers AH

Finding this was a real effort due more to our incompetence (heading down a blind alley) than anything else. Once we had the right general area, the cache was quickly found. TFTC

This one took us AGES to find even with the clue to help us. We looked down three different alley ways before Bewilderbeest tripped it.

BTW, the log is full and needs replacing.

Thanks for the cache

Found with SuperJaz, Bewilderbeest, and Ultra Violet Z. on the Wollongong Invasion weekend. I liked seeing the old Courthouse building.

Thank you thank you!!!

We spent ages looking for this one, for some reason we were looking in the wrong alleyway. Once we looked in the right alley it didnt take long to find.

Thanks Hoojar

Found after the cache dinner with Mtbikeroz, Mtrax, Sol de Lune, Secret Squirrel and Captain Tomato on our Wollongong invasion weekend! TNLN, thanks Hoojar1ARC.

I Act-ually found this and I'm always caught in the A.C.T ..lol
I strolled up to this one with my trustly GPS and found quickly... its good to get ones like that..

Found with mtbikeroz, Tankengine, mtrax, Sol de Lune and Secretsquirrel-BJC on the Wollongong Invasion. This was a fantastic weekend of fun and sun, meeting the locals, and chasing excellent caches.

With six searchers on the go we could simultaneously check out both alleys. A quick find late at night.

Second to last find of 41 for car number 3 (Mtbikeroz, Tankengine, Mtrax, Sol de lune) on the first day of our caching invasion to Wollongong. Also along with us for this one was car 4, Secret Squirrel and Captain Tomato.

At a very late hour and with the muggle factor down to zero, the cache was found quickly. Log was signed by all concerned and we were on our way again.

Nothing taken, nothing left and TFTC.

Cheers,

A great weekend for the Wollongong Invasion with Sol de Lune, TankEngine & mtrax, and often teaming up with SecretSquirrel-BJC and Captain Tomato at times. A wonderful weekend of caches, views, sub-terranian and very clever hides.

Didn't get court in this one, despite there being several police patrols around late at night.

923(+9=932) with Captain Tomato, mtbikeroz, Tankengine, mtrax and Sol de Lune on the Wollongong Invasion – a wonderful sunny weekend with friendly welcoming locals, finding clever hides, near spectacular coastal views, rugged escarpment and rainforest.

Good cache name for urban micro

Thanks Hoojar1ARC for organizing the hunt and the cache!

Indeed gizmo coverage was my foe, but fortunately McPhan was looking in the right alley (in the dark by now mind you) so the McWiBiTe team made the find without too much difficulty and without prying eyes from the windows. Now for Crown Jewels, that looks like even more of a challenge.

Thanks Hoojar1ARC

Wollongong invasion trip by the Canberra based McWiBiTe team.
McPhan, Winglen, BigOn, Tealby
I was searching the wrong spot when this was discovered by the rest of the team. It turned out to be an easy find in the right area.
TFTC

1263. After booking in to the hotel, it was time to hit the city lights. Parked near here and walked all the rest for the night (bar one). Once I noticed that we were basically following the leader I changed tack and made the find. Off to the next spot.

TFTC and sorry we did it after dinner - not lunch as suggested.

Rated: for Overall Experience

And now the McWiBiTe team were on foot, for a long trek around town to collect the last few caches for the day...
Having 4 in the team mean that we could spread out & find this cache relatively quickly. TFTC.

Found this one with Osa-y-Leon. Was very easy after the hint. TFTC.

Found with Oz_Vixen. Pretty easy after the hint. Thanks for the cache!

Found late at night with no-one around. Talk about a micro! This is a classic. Thanks.

I've trod this path a few times. Thanks.

Great little cache. Luckerly my friend have brought a pen!

Found by Poddy 1 good spot

good hide

We swung by here at night and didn't have much luck.
I think we accidently pulled off somones doorbell thinking it was a cache but no.
Eventually the lights inside the court building all came on and security were peering out so we beat a hasty retreat - we will be back
Thanks for the hunt,
Fleacircus

Good hide, there was a bike in front of it when I was there though. TFTC!

Nice hide, Found it OK, SL TFTC

found it, finally

although some weird looks from people passing by

took forever to get the log back in!

What's this a brand new cache... nothing in the log book, and me having travelled 200+Kms to be FTF...

then i got home and read the cache page properly...

I only had the waypoint description and clue.
and a new log book had been placed only a few days ago...

fun to find in a city i havent cached in before.
TFTC

New log installed

Found on a trip to Wollongong with Elena and Co. Didn't have a pen so sent a picture MMS to owner.

Cheers,

Daaave.

Needs a new log book.

Found it & then took forever to extract the log book. Must pinch my daughter's tweezers & add them to my caching implements. Thank you.

Great spot with not alot of peace from the muggles. Nice little container too. The log is chock a block full now though.
TFTC

In Wollongong for the Syndey to Gong. Had a few minutes to kill. Nice easy find despite the GPS having a very off day. TFTC.

Grrriffo 21/10/07

Wow, didn't expect it to be left wobbling about like that.
But a good hide none the less.

TNLN TFTC

never would of guessed that it waas down there

Great hide! Very out of the way. Came with nayfim.
TFTC
Cheers! naw92

Had a look for this one, but it was just too hard in the dark.

Found at 14:55. Yep, that's a micro

A beautiful Sunday afternoon, but there was nobody around to catch me in the act here.

Thanks Hoojar1ARC

Nice and easy. Thanks.
Regards Philma.

Nice cache. very small and good spot. Well done

Nice Easy find today, we misinterpereted the clues last time.

changing accounts, due to confusion with other BV's.
previously logged as bulliventurers.
new account- jit1BV

We’ve never been caught in the act but certainly have caught a few.

Nice hide. Very petite cache though. took me a while to actually get the log out of the thing.

TFTC!

New log is ready to rock.

Well if the log is full I had best take this one offline until I replace it with a new one...

yay nice hide but the clue makes it too simple. desperatly needs new paper, took me longer to get the log back inside then it did to find.

Found it after school this arvo but bulliventurers and daniel is good beat me to it. Nice quick find but i think the clue gives it away a little too much. Also, it desperately needs a new log. i couldn't fit my name so i had to add more paper and some how i managed to fit it all in.

haha beat hoschke118 to it!
second one for the day
IT WAS SO SMALL!
nice hide
yeah the clue makes it way easier
TFTC
bulliventurers

oh yeah! thats right! first one that i found before hoschke118!! take that! found it with bulliventurers...took about...3 seconds..wooh! found 2 in one day! hint gives it away

Got it before woodyson. What a small container!!

Good hide but a little exposed.

TN and there is no way to leave anything but sign the smallest log I could imagine.

great hide i didn't know containers came this small either

Walked past the likely hide on the first attempt as muggles were about. On the second go managed to find this tiny one very quickly and was grateful that it wasn't painted to match the surrounds! Thanks to Hoojart1ARC for a nice hide.

A great micro hide. Well done Hoojar

2:49pm
After knocking on all the doors and windows for someone to show me the way, I resorted to looking. had it quickly.

Cheers

Wish I had longer fingers.....
I had just looked in this spot and then Webby came along and looked in the same spot and came up with the goods

Took nothing
Left nothing

Only one muggle and son

Not too hard to find with the clue. No muggles and easy parking on ANZAC day.
Where do you get containers that small.

TFTC

Ironbark

Very hard when your gizmo is playing up on you. Almost got bausted by someone who probably lives near there.

Your clue helped us a lot! GPS was going crazy in there.
Very clever hide! Pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon.
Cheers!

Found it more easily than I did a parking space, even on a Saturday. Fortunately, no muggles around (just their cars). TFTC

Another great hide by Hoojar with a great container.

nice hide W-L....it was the coolest container i have ever seen!!!

brilliant hide W-L

Found it....... only just. It wasn't easy in the middle of the day, but I did the old "shoe has come undone and had to sit down and do it up" trick. Not easily done when wearing thongs but worked none the less. Excellent hide with a container I've never seen before. Greg
PS front side of the log sheet is now full.

Nice hide
Thanks

Found after I had lunch at the mall. I have never seen a cache like this before.

I hadn't found a cache in easy so i went to find this before school. The cache was very very small.

A simple find in suburbia! Shell went in to grab this one and quickly came up with the cache. Couldn't beleive this one has the same difficulty as Which Level.

TNLNSL

Matt & Shell

As we were in Wollongong for an event anyway, we thought we'd grab a handful of caches while we were here... found this one just as the heavens opened up again, great hide but I would hate to attempt it during work hours?

Thanks Hoojar1ARC!

here we were stuck in a lane way with cache in hand when a muggle spotted us....?? is this a drug deal she might have been thinking...we left the area with cache in hand so as not to induce more suspicion & then return just as quickly to place this little micro back in it's hiding place....Just as well this poor old couple had their glasses on, or we may not have found it at all.. TFTH

Took more time resetting than finding it. Couldn't you fit a pencil in there? Well done.

Cheers

Found it on second attempt. Came in from the S last time, this time from the N which resulted in a bit more accurate GZ. Thought I had looked everywhere here before but anyway found it quickly this time.

Just note that even out of business hours there are tenants on the top floor of the building as I got 'caught in the act' after retrieving the cache.

Found this after a night of SES training. Theres definitely an advantage to caching late at night.
Trust your gps and this is an easy find. Thanks

had to put my glasses on to find this one in its sneaky spot cheers Hoojar

This would have to be the smallest cache we have came accross so far. TFTC Hoojar1ARC.

Previously frangipani pixie - I am logging this old find, under my new user name - TFTC

Jiminy cricket you've gotta be quick to log a first to find in this town! Thought I might still be in a chance with this one, but the gribblies had beaten us to it. TFTC Hoojar, I didn't know this shortcut existed.

Nice one Hoojar; I came across one of these sneaky little containers in Canberra when I first started caching. I had a lot of trouble then but I must have learnt from the experience. GZ was surprisingly deserted when we arrived. Mrs Gribbly had first go but gave up a little bit too soon. I missed it at first glance and then after a closer look quickly came up with the goods. We were both happy to be the FTF. Left a little pin in the container to make it easier to retrieve the log. SL

Defeated by another Hoojar micro cache in Wollongong! Pretty quiet time of the day without any muggles but after searching high and low couldn't find it. Will keep it on the list.

Headed out with Merlin411 for some caching after work. Was quiet when we arrived but ran into a familiar face whilst there.. mind you, I think we looked like drug dealers as we were in the alley for some time.. looked and looked in the hiding place but kept missing it, had a quick phone a friend, didnt give away too much and then the cache was in hand.

Went Caching with Frangipani Pixie once she finished work. Looked and looked in the same spot, but kept looking past the cache. Had a little bit of help from a phone a friend. cheers..
