Could someone please move along the trackable that was placed there before the cache goes missing? It's come all the way from Switzerland and it would be a pity if it stalls here.

I won't be removing the cache for quite some time - weeks at least - because I am rarely in the area. So there is time for someone to visit and move the trackable. Otherwise it will have to wait until I get there.
Heading back to Melbourne after a couple of days work in Pittwater. Dropped off a tb from Switzerland.

It was a bit too obvious and it seems there has been some Muggle vandalism and some not very family friendly drawings and comments. Agree with previous comments that it's a shame that the view has gone and also that the cache needs a good clean out. However, lovely path that we wouldn't have found if it weren't for the cache so thanks!
We took out some of the rubbish. The two trackables that are marked as being here are not in the container. Maybe the location needs changing to stop Muggles interfering.
Regrettably the location has changed since the cache was placed so this is being archived to open up the area for another active cacher to create a new hide.
Beautiful winters day.
Suns out, blue water.
Great walk, TFTC.
Although, could do with a bit of maintenance and a good clear out.
Also, the muggle's have set up a layer due west of the cache, so don't wonder into the trap!

It was very easy to find there was a path of dead grass where everyone had walked into the bush to find it very fun though
Found sign, but no sign of the cache, disappointed young boys. Wondering if it has been removed by the green team.
After a quick run down the hill, and a short search, the well hidden sign was soon discovered and then the cache in proximity. TNLNSL TFTC
Today I had to come to this neighborhood and why not to stop for a cache? Wow! That's a Beautiful location at the top!
I think......... that Tyreless could use the cache as a clue..., and make us to find the sign! ahahahh!! Despite my GPS was pointing 10m away, good one! No TB in place..
Thanks Tyreless!

Clue made sense when you were there, though reallg had to look for the hidden sogn. Once we did that it was easy to find the large container.
Great one. Hot day. Other cachers should stick to the main path. No bush bashing required. Have fun!
A very quick find while in the area dropping Miss Shifter at a Girl Guide camp. When we saw this one on the map we decided it was time to look for this one as we knew it was a cache that has been around for a while. The walk was a pleasant one, then came the time to look for the cache. The sign is exactly what we thought it would be but was well hidden by the overgrown greenery.
Thanks Charl and Tyreless

Found at 1:29pm.
Well it seems today that I was set on notching up a few finds so I could fill some squares in my 'Hidden Month' grid. I wasn't sure about which direction to head this morning but after doing some research into some clusters of both unfound D/T caches and Hidden Month caches, I found that there were several for me to collect on the route towards Palm Beach which included one nearly right at the tip of this particular landmass.
I ended up having to take some big detours to go and grab some of them but they were all en route towards the Northern beaches. I began with 'No bridges falling here', then 'Hagar's Heights', 'Stick Figure in Peril', 'Stairway to Heaven', 'Take a seat' and finally 'White Freeze' on my return journey back home.
Six finds all up on a pretty good day out although 2 or 3 DNF's didn't help my mission. I took the bottle of sunscreen with me as it was a bit of a scorcher and I'm known to get a little burnt after a warm sunny day.
'Stick Figure In Peril' was my third find for the day. This one would prove to be one of the easiest of the day but with that said I still struggled to locate GZ with any real conviction. The GPS had me searching an area which looked somewhat likely but was also slightly above the suggested terrain rating.
Anyway once I corrected myself I managed to make a pretty easy find. Interesting to see how the terrain here has changed over the years, I can see from the photo's that the beach was once visible from this spot but not anymore.

Nice cache. Left some owl post-its and will register a travel bug visit when I work out how, but the bug's coming with me to my next cache sorry!
Well the sign was difficult to see but the cache wasn't once I was beside it. I sat down to SL right there and a group of muggle walkers came along and I started to think how would I explain what I was doing. Needn't have bothered not one person looked to look my way despite my bright red T-shirt. So the stick figure really is in peril, no one ever glances his way.
Great views up here!

Went with the geokids and geodog to grab a few caches. Nice walk from Bassett St on a crystal clear day.
Those stick fugures just can't have any fun.

Today we walked from Palm Beach to Manly. Geohubby lets me pick up one cache a walk! There were so many to choose from on this route, but this one won because of the name!
Easy find. There's no pen so bring you own, or better still bring two and leave one! TFTC.

Today we were targeting caches North of Mona Vale Road, and this was the 5th of the day.
Parked the geomobile in Bassett Street East. We had planned to do "Cache in the Vale" first, but as we approached the area we noticed a fella sitting on the lawn quite close to GZ, so we continued on toward this cache.
We crossed the wooden bridge and then climbed up the track to GZ. I didn't notice the sign at first, as it was hidden by foliage, and I entered the scrub at the wrong spot. Backtracked and found the sign, then it was a quick find. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Find #542

Hadn't planned on geocaching today - just out for an afternoon at the beach. Hence no pen. Needed to sign log book so used one of the swappables and got creative!
On the way back from Barrenjoey Head, stopped for this viewpoint and quick find. Soon spotted the little man in peril. TFTC.

Decided to bite the bullet and head to another new caching area for me - the Northern Beaches.
I had four target caches - my primary target was a new hidden month, two secondary targets sharing a new hidden date, and a tertiary target of a still existing archived cache (The Hungry Hole GCF316).
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]
First cache and it's starting to drizzle. Oh joy.
Made my way to GZ and followed my iPhone - to a spot that seemed to have some sort of agriculture going on but no cache.
Stepped back and spotted something. Surely not... well that makes sense. Checked it and had CIH.
And I'd left my pen back in the car. And there's no writing implement in the cache.
So I walked back and grabbed my pen. So finally completed signing duties and replaced. Oops. Forgot to grab a pencil from The Hademobile for the cache.

Found it on a very hot Sunday while escaping the heat and heading for the Coast. Not sure why the bench is situated there as there is no view, anyway nice hide. TFTC
14/1/15. 3:41 PM. Cache #2176. Streak day #206. Last of 5 caches on a hot Wednesday afternoon. After "Cache in the Vale", I walked towards the beach and then up the big stairs towards the benches (that no longer have any view). I made this too hard for myself by heading way too far into the bushes; I should have taken more time to look for the sign at the bushes' edge. Once I finally had that done, I then had a little crawl to make the find. After signing and replacing, it was definitely time for a dip, so I headed down for a lovely hour or so at Bongin Bongin. TFTC }:)
We found that the tag was about 8 meters off. So if u r finding it hard- head down towards the headland a bit further. Cheers.
Great location. The Bush has has grown back. No view of the ocean from the comfort seat. Al the same a nice place to visit
Took a while but I got there in the end. Leopard crawling helped. A lot! Woo hoo
My GPS was over 20 metres off and the clue was obscured so it took a long time. I've removed obscurities a bit. Nice path.
