Diving's Prohibited Point Clare, New South Wales, Australia

moved away from area. hope eveyone enjoyed this cache

Uh oh! Cache must be gone! I will be out of town for a couple of weeks - so will replace soon!

While visiting Gosford this week with the team from NASPO thought we would grab some caches.
could not locate this one
no cache but very funny to see the pirate run like he was being chased by a mutinous crew.

Spent 40 minutes here with 7 other which equates to over 9 Hours of looking. We didn’t find the cache and I was chase by a couple of big lizards so, all in all a very bad day was had by the Pirate. My friends thought it was hilarious to see me running away from the two lizards. Any chance of sending me a photo of the cache just in ‘cache’ I return at a later date???

We were caching with the Pirates and spent some time looking but with no reward. Lovely spot though.

And it was worth it to see the captain of the pirates emerge from the bush at full steam squealing like a cut pig because a couple of lizards allegedly chased him!!!

Thanks for the hunt. Hope it hasn't disappeared again.

KLE.

Didn't find, looked all around but ran out of time had to get back for Hockey Final

Loved the park here!
Thanks!

What a fantastic spot!! Especially if U have kiddies!!
Quite a few muggles and alot of mini muggles.
Popular fishing spot and play area!!
Thanks!!

Found whilst the kids played in the new playground. TFTC

Nice park,nice bridge,nice ducks and a great cache adventure.
Any fish in here?
Many thanks daznat99 for the hunt.

Continuing my walk around the water's edge, led me to my third find for the day. A tricky hide but eventually located.
Congrats Dazvat99 for bringing me to this very picturesque spot. Took time to stop and "smell the flowers" after completing log and replacing container. Observed seven black swans lazily swimming nearby which according to a local passerby is quite unusual.

Found as part of the McWinRexOn team, A quick dive produced this one, popped out to find the rest of the big tough caching team turning into wet sponges over a cat. Ah well at least McPhan chased it down the road in the car. heh heh.
Nice and easy find even with the sunnies on, TFTC

An unforgettable cache, mainly due to the unexpected arrival of a very seductive Burmese cat. I'm not usually much of a cat person, but I could have taken her home without a second thought. Luckily I did have a second thought because she belonged to someone else. While McPhan and I doted on the cat, RexTrex and BigOn made the find. TFTC!

Approaching this cache we had to skirt around a construction team at a playground, then wait for a lone muggle to make up his mind where he was going before descending on the GZ structure and coming up with the goods - and a cat. Well, not just a cat, it was actually Milo the friendly resident Burmese puss who makes friends faster than McPhan finds caches - which he didn't this time, but I wasn't going to mention that. Thanks daznat99, nice catche.

2227. After pointing out the cache to BigON (must rebuke the keeper of the LDR) I raised my head to find Milo the Burmese staring back at me. What a friendly cat if a little to adventurous for it's own good. Luckily this day it met nice people who would have taken it home if it looked like a stray. Mrs Winglen and I were going to do time share arrangement but when I blew the cars horn to make sure it wasn't near the road it quickly found home like a flash of lightning.

TFTC and the resident moggie.

I found this one before going to the Coaste festival at Gosford showgrounds

Not a troll in sight.

We had a lovely walk along the path on a beautiful sunny Winter morning towards GZ, and were amused by the passing parade of people including a mother with her daughter trying to stay upright on new roller blades; a little boy on his bike rolling backwards down the slope with his father calling out "use your brakes!"; a father on his bike with his young son following on his bike calling out "Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad.....". We found the bridge and after waiting for a break in the 'passing parade' Marco ducked underneath for a closer inspection, and being the "master of micros" he quickly had the cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC

Lots of creepy spiders lingering about! Very cool.

Hard to find but I found it
Thanks

lovely spot on a lovely day!!

TFTC, TNLN. What a lovely spot, hadnt been down here for years.
Cheers
Ben,Mel & Geokids

Is the Diving prohibited because of the rumours of trolls under the bridge? A nice little park, but no bike today.
thanks, Robmc.

Found 8:07am. Doing some work here and in Newcastle today. After driving from Sydney nice spot to stretch the legs. Easy find but had to dodge a lot of early morning walkers and cyclists. TNLN. Thanks

Found in a mix of old cache notes not logged so making it right now.
My notes say that it was a nice easy find, so I guess it was a I, unfortunately, can't recall the cache in detail.
TFTC

The entire SixStars crew were out on a bike hike on a warmish first day of autumn. This one was a quick find, although Rocky SixStar busted his cycling shoe on some debris near the find spot. Might need to use some stimulus package to correct that! TFTC

Muggle free time so quick find and log. Thanks for the hide.

Had previously looked for this one but there were muggles everywhere. Returned today and found it quickly. TFTC

Nice site,nice day,had cooled down a bit so we spent some time sitting on the rocks. Thanks for the interesting cache.

A couple of us ducked unnoticed to find this cache whilst avoiding the fishing muggles nearby. Cheers Gav [3238]

Found with the kiwi team on our great Australian caching tour.
Bit of team distraction tactics employed to foil the muggles.

A nice find during our Australian caching adventure

found this one with tofska red Iguana Moneydork and ADV

What a great location and the council has done a fab job with all the new cycle paths.

Joint effort with Mightybent. Took a while but we got there in the end. 11th cache for the day.

After looking for this cache back in July without sucess I brought in dentoz for assistance. After 10min of looking we were running out of options then I spotted it. Yah. Nice spot, glad to have this cache crossed off my list. 13th and final cache for the day which is a personal best. Cheers.

Nice walk. Good one to knock over with Creek Shrub (GC1AT2E) at the same time. Cool micro in a cool place - great on a hot day! SL. TFTC.

Found it this time.

Have to try again some other time

Look all around and had to give up as there was alot of walkers going parst.

A quick find at 1100hrs after waiting for some muggles to leave.

TFTC

A find in the pouring rain with Ding and Chip. Thank God for Gore-Tex!

Cheers

Found with hoojar and Ding.
It was pouring rain but we thought that it would be worth the walk anyway. I found it quickly enough but hit my head on the way back. Quite hard. Still have a headache.

Cheers for the cache.

After reading the couple of previous logs gspblu thought I could handle this one single handedly. So he stood and watched while I proceeded to look and look and look he eventually took pity on me and came to help but luckily my pride was restored when I spotted it just before he did .

Amazed at how clear the water was and we picked this area to sit and have lunch because it was so nice (the very friendly magpies joined us but they lacked table manners by trying to pinch the food from us as we ate!)
TFTC daznat99 a real nice one

Red tag came up with the find in the end but couldn't reach so I had to help.
Magpies need to learn manners far too friendly.
Thanks daznat99

[ One of the quickest micro finds ever, nice area, SL TFTC]

fairly quick find by the geowife while i waited above. TFTC

A bit of a flook in finding this so quickly but that happens some time. First place I looked and presto.
Thanks

No luck with this cache for me this morning. Too many places to look and not enough time.

Great hide nearly took a dip.

Had a few laughs at this one. Could easily have taken a dive! Lensim & I 6th one for the morning. Thanks.

What a pretty spot! We keep getting shown all these places we didn't know existed right under our noses! This is cool fun. Happy Geocaching, Woyboys.

Lots of muggles, and lots of places to look in, but we finally got it.

No 3 for today
Rain On & Off
Great Hide & Great pencil
TNLN TFTC

nice easy cache nice hide

tftc

Like others before us it took a little while to put our hands on this one but we got there in the end TFTC SL

Did this one with Toonarmy. Took a while to find and thankfully Toonarmy is tall and can stretch. TFTC.

Found with The Carey Clan.

Spent quite a while looking for this one but there it was right in front of us if only we'd spotted it earlier.

TFTC

The geo-men looked for a good 10 minutes for this one with no result, girls found immediately - yay!

Found with richlink. An easy find though a lot of muggles out on bikes. Thanks.

[This entry was edited by philthy747 on Monday, March 10, 2008 at 4:55:04 PM.]

Found with geo parents and richlink. An easy find. Thanks.

Finally got this one today after flawed timing in the past when the cache was moved slightly. Bit of a reach with all the rain but no probs. TFTC.

10th of 16 for the day.
What a milestone.
Found with Team Wintonio
TNLN TFTC

10th of 16 for the day with Team Batty
found at 5:10pm.
A short search for our 10th. Great spot, fair few muggles.
TNLNSL TFTC

This was our last find for the day and we were just about to admit defeat when we found it. A nice area and it was raining so we didn't have many muggles to contend with. TFTC.

CRYSTAL PAULS

Found after a bit of a search. Muggles here tend to ride bicycles.

Yay my first geocache ever!. did it without a gps!. i live localy and input the coordinates in to google earth and found it that way. great spot i spent many hours of my childhood there. took me 15 mins to find it. found at 1:50 pm

Good fun my first find with a second only 30mins after.

Found today by Mr Emu @ 8.00 p.m., GAFF3 http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/GAFF . After starting with the wrong approach, I trusted the (excellent) coordinates and the penny finally dropped. It was right on dark, so I was lucky to find the cache at all. Thanks daznat99, for the cache, and the visit to a nice part of Gosford.

4th cache for the day with homedg. returning to this one after last attempt when cache had been muggled. after taking a phone call and leaving homedg for a good 15 min to search on his own i found it within 5 min of a search of my own.
tfth sl

Tegator and I decided to split the hunt on this one. I diligently searched my side of the structure, while Tegs dilly-dalliyed on the phone doing some serious property transactions.
After I gave up on my side, Teg's hung up and grabed the cache.
Another one logged.

A beautiful day meant that there were large quantities of muggles to deal with. However, there was still enough breaks in traffic to search without dramas. Found the cache quickly, and sat on some rocks to (hopefully) inconspicuously fill out log. Our second for the day. Shame about the play equipment being a bit derelict, but 2yr old 'C' still had fun kicking a footy around.

Visiting a friend in the area, thought to do a cache or two.

TNLN TFTC

Had to find again cause I found and put a wrong name in(that was when i was a muggle). Good new spot!!!
TFTC, TNLN 8D

By the time I arrived here the rain was coming down quite heavily. This had the fortunate side effect of keeping everybody else at bay. I was able to take shelter to fill out the log, keeping it dry.

Lovely little park and due to good co-ordinands we had this one in hand in seconds

9:53am
Stoopid GPS wanted us to go via the LONG way along the track, hit it with a brick and went to where I figured I could get close.

Nice little park, left the girls here while the boy had this one instantly. Signed the log, looked at the fishlife below, collected the girls and continued our Central Coast meander.

Cheers

Checked out the new position. It should be less likely to be muggled took a few minutes to find.

[This entry was edited by gkseal on Monday, August 27, 2007 at 8:23:44 PM.]

Couldn't find this on Friday night nor Sunday but now I read more I think thinks have changed since I downloaded the co-ords and printed out the notes! Will have to come back this way again next time.

looked all over gz looked up looked down looked in the spot where i would put it and in the spot that i would not put it but arfter 20mins looking no find today but the next time we come to see the outlaws i will be back

gkseal... your kids were right...cache is gone, have replaced now and hopefully it hangs around a bit longer this time. cheers.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 33° 25.957 E 151° 19.122
Distance From Old: 24.1 feet
Hopefully this one is more kid-muggle proof? Hope so!

found this one night with a torch

My kids tell me this is not kid proof as too many kids play under the bridge and may find it.

Found at night with Caleb and his torch

We experienced a similar situation to Wyoming Wombats two fishermen near GZ but luckily for us they moved away just after we arrived. It was a quick easy find in a nice little location.
TNLNSL. TFTC.

A very easy find once a fisho had left. First time there, worked out where it was and silently cursed the fisho. @ hours later, returned and found it.

TNLN

Brought the family, as instructed, although the ducks didn't seem to want to eat them!

Found quickly on the way home from work.
lesson to self. keep better eye on new caches. 4 new caches in local area and I missed all of them for the first couple of days!

Better be quick if you want to find this one before it gets muggled. I'm surprised its still there, during School holidays.

Took little torch, left a sticky dash mat thing that holds you gps in place ( it just needs a rinse in warm water to restore its tack.) I have upgraded to a proper gps mount so this is no longer of use to me.
thanks for the cache.

found with cherryred. very lucky not to have been caught by muggles riding past, somehow managed a freaky break in footpath traffic. left a purple tricerotops and took a blue frog. TFCT Daznatt!!

This quick find brings up my 50th geocaching.com cache! YAY!!

Nearly lost it after it took a tumble down somewhere but it was retrieved safely. Took nothing, left little snail. TFTC!

We were beaten to the FTF by Cache on Demand, who has been very quiet lately, good to see him back caching again.
An easy find on quite a rainy day, thankfully there was a break in the rain. The geokiddie wanted to play on the park equipment but it was a bit waterlogged.
TNLN
Thanks Daznat99

Saw this pop up as I was logging my finds for the day so I thought I'd grab it on the way out to dinner. Quick easy find thanks Daznat. First day caching in a while so a FTF was a good way to end the day. Many thanks Daznat!
