oops

Sorry guys... Been out of town.. Thanks for letting me know.. I'll replace the log book ASAP

Cache and contents totally wet - Everything needs replacing (cache container and log, etc).

Found with DazndKy
TNLN tried to sign log - to wet

Rather quick find with CDM261 while waiting for the females to complete their shopping at nearby Erina Fair. Spotted the cache on approach; found to be completly sodden to the point of being pulp. As such we were unable to write in the log. TFTC.

Found it with 2 friends new to the game. Cache is wet though and needs maintenance. TFTC

All wet

I use to have Jenny Craig as I client and had to visit them every 13 weeks I never knew then what I know now!
Found safe a sound due to the rain there were not many if any people about.

good cache.

A nice quick find late in the afternoon when muggle activity was at a minimum.

Easy find, but had to play it cool in s muggle-infested spot. Roadworks and peak-hour traffic made our escape interesting. Used to live on the Central Coast - I don't miss this traffic hotspot!

Nice quick cache, grabbed during a lull in muggle activity. TFTC SL.

Schnell gefunden!!! TFTC!!!

Nice quick grab at 6:30 am no one about
Thanks Skatta Brains signed log

TFTH! Good work!

Drove past at the right time of day for a quick grab. Some days you just love urban caches like this. TFTC!!

found it. very obvious

I reakon this could be hard in the middle of the day, straight outside all the shops door's and all. Soon had it in hand though.Cheeeeeers. Browngang

It took us a few u turns to locate this one as there is a big fire in a business just down the road. Quick find. TFTC

Easy find!!

Quick find Nice and easy night visit.. SL. Geodaughter took bead, left rubber..

Hint makes life easy

nice urban cache! Daughter was straight onto this one. TFTC.

A quick snatch and grab here, sat down and did the cache duties on the spot, luckily for me no muggles in sight.

Thanks for the chance to add this one to the RS collection.

very clever
kids found it with ease as muggles around dont suspect playing kids.
thanks!!!!!

We found this one on a caching weekend on the Central Coast. This is a very busy area and there were lots of muggles around, so we had to employ the old "talking on the mobile phone" tactic. I'm afraid I have to admit that I had a bit of a "boy look" and didn't spot it, so Marco had a go and found it straight away. TNLNSL TFTC

Some muggles close by but the old trusty phone trick allowed us to get the cache SL TNLN TFTH

A quick and easy find and retreaval. Found during Rudi63 and the Walenators assualt on a "Everything North of Sydney" caching weekend TFTH....SL...TNLN

Found by Mary & David at 1045. You are so right about the mix. A real birth-to-death experience. A quick find and now off to the pie shop. Mary had a chicken mornay, and David had chunky beef. Our thanks to SkAttA BrAiNs.

Great find geokids had fun TFTC

XC on way back to Sydney stopped here early for a quick find... Nobody around so was easy..

Quick pull up and log. Paper was a little damp.

This was one of the first caches I looked for but never found. After getting in a bit of practice and knowing what to look for it was an ezy find the second time

one of my favorites, love the urban magnetic. the challenge of being stealthy amongst the muggles and not looking like a suspicious wierdo. not much muggle activity thou

Talk about laugh, I wonder how many people have made the same mistake. After thinking it was obvious what I was looking for knowing where I was going I didn't have the need for a GPS. Drove in, pulled up right near what I thought was the spot. I thought it would be a bit obvious to just go for it, so went to the bakery for a treat, and turned eating said treat into a reconnaissance mission Colonel Braddock would have been proud of, only to come up empty handed. Then looking around the light bulb that sits above my left ear went off and after another stealth mission we found GZ and log was signed. Thanks for the lesson that sometimes obvious isn't just obvious.

Just signed up so logging all my finds with RTEC+

this was amusing trying to be subtle around all the people. some muggles just won't leave!

Found while visiting for the weekend with the family. TFTF

We were in a precarious situation with 2 DNFs under our belt....

We had to break the curse by finding 3 caches in a row....

Thank you SkAttA BrAiNs for helping us along the way...

We sat out the front of the shops acting like disgruntled husbands waiting for the wifes to finish shopping... works everytime... lol

1.15pm No 16 of 27 and (2 DNFs)

With having two DNF's in a row we needed this one to keep the spirits going and the spirits were on our side. With minimal muggles around we were able to locate, remove, sign and return....Now that feels better a find. TFTC

Tamykian feeling better

This was a quick easy find (3rd for 2010) on our way through town on new years day. This was so as there were no muggles to be seen anywhere they must have all been in coles wherever just came from.

Tftc

So the geokids have been to the beach and are in the back seat and now want to go to Erina Fair, so let's compromise, I'll do the cache down the road and then will go to Erina Fair after.... too easy.
And so was the cache. Easy find.. Nice colour coding

Yes what a mismatch of commercial ventures here, but there's more... just down the road. I suppose the extreme diversification ensures that at least a few people are in the car park at any time.

Found it on a wonderful trip to the Central Coast visiting my sister. My second of two caches in Australia. TFTC!

great find.
Found with philkell

Lots of muggles
Thanks

For some reason the GPS was on wrong side of road and way way off. If it wasnt for the name of court or clue we never would have found this one.
high muggle traffic but were able to pull it off as most shops had already closed and stealth was needed as closest shop was still packing up outside.
TNLN (too small)
Thanks!

This cache could be a real hot find..
Thanks for the hunt SkAttA BrAiNs

It was nice to do a little caching with my bro from Perth. The circumstances of the visit were sad though. I dedicate this find to my sister in law.

Found in conjunction with Badja on a visit from Perth

Anybody for pizza

When I first looked for caches this one happened to be on the hit list as we travel from Sydney to the central coast fairly often to visit family, but, I didn't have a clue what to look for. 90 caches on and this one stood out for a quick snatch & grab. TNLNSL&TFTC. [:o)]

Attempted during the day but there were too many muggles watching from across the way. came back later on during a less busy time and was able to nab it with ease. TFTC. first find in a populated area.

Went late at night on the way home from dinner. This place is teaming during normal hours. Always good fun snooping around to get caches like this one.

Log book getting quite full.

TFTC

I arrived close to closing time and soon located the cache. Unfortunately the only customer in the adjacent store was with a shop assistant examining goods directly facing the cache. I was finally able to grab the cache and return it safely unseen.

Jagged a quiet time, no muggles, TFTC!

A nice relaxed find to mark my 100th cache and celebrate a great pie at the nearby pie store. Thanks a bunch!

Must have picked the best time to look, with plenty of parking and few onlookers. Thanks for the hide.

Found on the great Top Gear tour with Geo-uncle Lat & Long Junkie. Another lucky break that we were here on Sunday night. Hardly nobody about. Plucked the cache from its hiding spot with ease. TFTC.

This was cache 100 for us on our TOP GEAR LIVE tour to Sydney. Grabbed it from it's hiding spot with little trouble. Wouldn't want to try for it during the day. Could be a bit of a challenge then. TN/LN/SL.

Easy find, and due to light Sunday afternoon traffic an easy entry. Nicely disguised!!

A nice quick find - not quite a driveby Cheers Gav [3211]

Found with Rediguana, Tofska and ADV on our caching holiday.
Catching up on caches that I missed when logging the trip.

Found with the kiwi team on our great Australian caching tour. Had to watch out for a muggle nearby.

The kids loved this easy find. TFTC log signed and replaced.

Easy find with the clue. Didn't get caught napping....

Liked this as a great example of an urban cache. Easy find but enjoyed this one nonetheless. Thanks.

Hagar nearly got out of the car before Helga found the cache.

As we approached GZ I spotted where I thought the Cache would be and luckily put my hand straight on it. Reading through the logs we were the third visitor today, very popular spot you’ve chosen. It was very warm and the Geoboy suggested going into the close by air conditioned shop to fill in the log, but I thought that was pushing our luck a bit far.

HOO BLOODY RAY! I finally found one of my nemises caches. Previous searches had me in a garden next to a bank. Read the new and improved clues, knew where it must have been and found it without a GPS.

Had to be sneaky with the muggle in the bedding shop watching.
thanks for the cache

As geo-hubby decided he was settling in for the afternoon to watch the AFL finals, I decided on some retail therapy.
Had already got a FTF on another cache on the way (sorta) to this location and wasn't caught snooz'n with this one either.

The wife found this one with my geo sister. A quick find and out before the sanDman came around.

Good cache. A muggle was sitting opposite s we blocked him off with he car.

As my parents always say I.R.O (In round & out) and the caching stuff was done. Thanks

With muggles about we stealthily made and logged the find before moving along.

Cheers.

A great quick find for a start of half a day of caching with Hoojar.
Had to act smooth with a few muggles around.

Having young kids always helps with this type of cache as kids are always climbing around.

Nice and quick. Thanks for the hunt.

Found this easily. It was a good one. The main thing seemed to be getting it without others seeing!
That was fun! Thanks Woyboys

Grabbed this cache are a bit of shopping at Erina Fair. Nice easy find given the clue but had to be discrete. First log in the new book for me. Thanks SkAttA BrAiNs.

its back, finally sorry it took so long guys!!

acuracy is all over the place, you might need the clue if your getting stuck

went to check on and change the log book and it seems a gardener has removed this tiny container. will be back soon maybe bigger and hopefully better

The GPS sent us to the wrong garden to begin with but this was soon rectified. Found without delay and returned to the same spot once our log was done, however this one was quite wet and needs some attention soon. TFTC

good one! but could be betta hidden, cause its kinda obvious...=/ but good place and clues!!!!

sorry for the confusion everyone, the cache is still there, its just reception goes from really good about 10m from gz and really really bad at gz... im hoping these new co ordinates help

Had a good look in the planter box the GPS was pointing to but a DNF ensued. Also didn't understand the clue here. Have now read logs and realise the co-ordinates are a fair way out. Owner will have to update co-ords on the listing itself.

2nd DNF. Am I missing something??

Nice quick find while in the area. Love the container. Thanks Skatta Brains
