Disabling cache as any remaining containers will be removed and the cache archived shortly. Thanks to all that found this cache. Perhaps if it is a worthy location on of the locals will place another cache here.

The cache has been collected and is now being archived.

Found it!

it would have been an easy one if I took the standard route, gotta learn not to follow the needle blindly. TFTC nice and quiet her today

easy find TFTC

What a fantastic place, I have driven past on the highway but have never come into here. Thanks Big Matt and Shell for bringing me here and for the cache

Team work was involved!

TFTC SL. Went the wrong way but found it quickly.

Nice cache. Thanks

Wow. Didn't even know this was here. Thanks for showing us. Kids learnt a few facts, we saw some sunbaking roos and a fun find. Tftc

Nice dam spot. Found the dam cache not far from the dam car park overlooking the dam view.
Took top, left knucklebone, signed log. TFTC

geokids find this one. nice spot. tftc

This cache was not where we thought it should be and took us up the garden path! However we made a grab at1505 and left our customary ladybug. Took nothing and signed log. TFTC Big Matt and Shell

Well didn't know this dame was here. Been coming to the coast for years but hadn't been out here. My grandfather even lived on ridge road for a time.

There was no pen in the cache but we had our own so all was good.

What a view...and what a surprise..our first day geocaching with dghoffy
many thanks for the superb location...

Geocaching with Puffins2. Have driven past this road so many times, thanks for giving us a reason to come down here. TFTC

relaxing trip in the bay, also tryed to find some caches. TFTC

Decided to get out of Canberra for the weekend and take the caravan down to Batemans Bay. We parked not far from GZ but slogged in the hard way to find this one. Coming back to the car we found a much easier way. We took the AU TO US TB and signed the log. TFTC

Found on a boys trip to the coast and dropped a trackable.

Tftc. On the way to Mogo. Never knew about the dam before.

The spill way is running currently, lot of water, the dam has a morrow smooth water surface. TFTC

Found at 1:00:36 PM GAFF1. Well after the disappointment at the bridge, we thought we had better look for a very simple cache for our 7,000th and 1st!
And here we are in a quite bush setting spot which is what we prefer in any case. We headed of into the bush - the hard way as it turned out - and then after checking a few spots a very obvious one appeared right in front of us. It's amazing how in the bush you need to focus on many layers - just like when looking into space!
Thanks Big Matt and Shell

Quick find TFTC

Heading home after a weekend at the coast so thought I would grab a cache or two on the way. Didn't know this was here and it was quite a surprise to see the water right as I came around the turn.

TFTC!

Got it! No pen so had to sign in charcoal :S

A lovely spot for stop and look. I never new this place existed (what else is caching for).

TFTC!

beautiful dam almost no disturbance from muggles. watch out for snakes and ticks when in season. still gorgeous!
thank you Big Matt and Shell.

Found @ 11:52am with hccatcher11415 on the last day of our trip the Bay

As is the case, we took the hard way in and found the easy way out! A quick find in an interesting location, thanks for the cache Big Matt and Shell!

Nice easy find on a day at the coast

After drawing blood on a tree branch, my GPS took me straight to this cache... TFTC...

Beautiful spot. Fun to do with the kids. Kangaroos were about

One of many caches I did on my beautiful vacation to Australia!!

After 5 minutes of searching we found it. TFTC.

Found after a trip to mogo zoo. Nice dam, great day. Thanks for the cache.

Nice spot. TFTC.

Well, we were visiting the Botanic Gardens and noticed that Deep Creek Dam was on their map, and so was a viewing area of the Dam. So we proceeded to do the walk through the gardens up to the dam, only to discover that we were on the wrong side of the dam to the cache.
Made our way around, then Mr FM jumped the fence to start looking. Mrs FM did the tourist bit, then followed around the fence and made a quick find!
We took the Geocaching GC.

Camano Joey visited as we saw some of his real life counterparts nearby.

It was a big day out at the gardens today. An Easter egg hunt had been organised for the littlins.
So we took our young fella along.
All the locals and long weekend holidayers turned up. So there was a big crowd.

Supposedly the organisers had expected this and placed 4000 chocy eggs out on the law for the hunt.
All were assured of getting and egg or two.

After the hunt I snuck away to have my own little hunt.
A bit of a detour through the scrub until I made my way onto the road. The rest of the way easy going.
Found without trouble.
The dam looks good and is full of water.
Thanks for the find

Had to hone in on my Bear Grylls skills for this one! HE HE! TFTC

I located the cache and we exchanged swaps, while watching a family of Black Swans swimming by, thanks.

Mr KC jumped and away he went while Mrs KC took in the views, read the information and looked like a lone tourist for the one muggle that drove in and out. The dam is quite full at present and quite a picture. TFTC

Found on a caching run with ACBC 66 and fitzy_1965.

Out finding some "treasures" with Fitzy and the geokid (Awesome L).
It's great to see the dam so full, a few muggles today but we got what we needed in between visits.
The geokid was very interested in the dam and it's workings.
TFTC!

Good find geoson locked straight onto cache. SLTN

My neice found it while I was tracking it down with the GPS

Found on a pleasant weekend down the coast after deciding to get out of town for a few days

Great spot. Left keyring and took nothing as the cache was looking a bit bare. Thanks for showing us this area.

It was easy to find and a good location

A bit of bush bashing to fond the path but once we were there it was easy to spot geo cache style cheers

Great spot here

A find whilst out on a caching run with Black Bunny and Just a Cacher.
Thanks for the cache! Sorry it's taken so long to log this.

Out on a run to pick up a few caches with Just a Cacher and Candy Cane 101. A quick find in a lovely bush setting. SL TFTC

Found with Candy Cane 101 and Black Bunny on a day trip to the coast, to get some of the caches we missed out on, yesterday.

I was a bit concerned about going past the fences for this one, but Candy Cane 101 and Black Bunny had no such reservations, and had found the cache in a very short time. I saw some interesting lichen.

Dropped in today and replaced the log book as there was only 1 page left in it.

In the area on a cache maintenance run and I couldn't help but drop by and grab this cache. Ding enjoyed stretching his legs and having a sniff. There was not a soul to be seen at this quiet little location.

Thanks for bringing us in here.

Cheers

A day trip to coast a chance to grab a few more local caches. Very quiet here today, so it was quick stroll up to GZ and quick find was made.

Been past the area many times before, however the first time I've ventured in.

Thanks BM&S for the slight detour. Left 2 x TB's.

Good family cache. We found it with our 2 and 6 year old sons after a picnic at the nearby botanic gardens.

First time up to this point. May have been up here years ago when I was a child but I cant remember that. Quite nice and not something you would expect.
TFTC

TFTC didn't stump us.

Cant believe i have never seen this one before after riding my push bike through this area for years left a small flower pin

found 22/5/2010 a nice view an good to see the dam full after recent rains.., left pencil in log. ntnl tftc

Have wanted this one for a while so finally the timing was right...nice cache. thanks.

Beauty view the dam - seem the water bit low... No swap SL. Thanks Big Matt and Shell

Driven past this lots but took a cache to get me in. Nice spot.

Always nice to come somewhere different and of course find a cache!

Cache run on the way from Auckland to the Megga Event in Wagga. Quick visit and a quick find. Great spot for a cache T4TC.

Tide a little bit out today. Lots of kangeroos seen.
TFTC

Nice damn and lake, and the spillway was seeing some use. Cheers Gav [5026]

dam looks thirsty, but plenty of water coming down the shoot today

Nice spot for a cache. TFTC

Nice spot for a cache. TFTC

Quick easy drive in find
TFTC

Just before 8:00am I arrived at the carpark which already contained 8 vehicles and a lot of muggles milling around [:o]
Some sort of official Eurowater tour was happening and the crowd consisted of engineers and other water related boffins.
My own geomobile didn't look out of place amongst the landcruisers and utes and they must have thought I was turning up late
Once they realised I was just a tourist they kindly jumped in their vehicles and left en-masse [^]
So there I was alone
Here cachey, cachey, cachey [:o)]

There was a delightful waterfall cascading down what I can only describe as the world's smallest dam spillway nearby

TFTC and informative stop.
I now know more about the Eurobodalla's water reticulation system than 99 percent of the residents

I'm pretty sure I dropped the Evil Emporer TB here too

Great location - the water was really pumping out today!

A wander and it was to hand.

Grabbed the 'All Earth GC".

A quick visit to swap GCs. Albida

No one around, quick walk found cache. Never been here before. Thanks

Nice find with Geokid Finn. Left keyring, took watch. TFTC.

TFTC been meaning to do this one for a while

We had the place completely to ourselves today as we had time to find a few caches whilst the rest of the family were surfing at Broulee. GeoJim and I had a bit of a clamber before realising there was a much easier way in....doesn't it always happen that way? Anyway, all good fun and we found the cache. Swapped geocoins and wandered back to the geomobile to enjoy the views before heading back to Broulee. TFTC

Was raining and cold today. No one around as a result which was useful. Dropped off Road Trip coin. TFTC

Lovely spot, but the water seemed pretty low for the start of summer

Found by Mary & David at 0905. The water level looks well down, so we guess the dam is now in use. Still wonderful reflections though. Spotted a young wallaby close to the road on our way in. Collected 'Cyris The Diver' TB. Our thanks again to Big Matt and Shell.

Found it @ 10:00. Enjoyed the site thanks Big Matt and Shell. Here's a pic of the gang appreciating the "engineering" art. First find for the day whilst visiting for a wedding. Left Cyris The Diver. TN

I arrived here early in the morning, the place was deserted. Went and found the cache, and just as I was walking back, a maintenance vehicle arrived. I thought they would go thru their gate and leave the place empty again, but they loitered. I eventually came down the track and had a few words. They had thought the car had been stolen and dumped!
Thanks, Robmc.

It's fantastic seeing water in a dam even if it's only for emergencies... TNLN.

Found at 1700. Nice quick find well out of view of muggles in another scenic spot. TNLN. Thanks Big Matt and Shell.

1763 - Found during a South Coast run...

Drove as far south as I had planned and started to work my way up. Found this nice cache by ex-Canberra cachers - and Mates - Big Matt and Shell ! I always enjoy an interesting learning journey as part of a cache - and its nice to see a Dam WITH water in it for a change !!

Thanks Guys - hope we catch up again soon.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Out caching with Zak Power Team.
