Latitude 18 Manly, New South Wales, Australia
By Dr Livingstone on 25-Aug-07. Waypoint GC15D51

Hello,

what's about our TB "Jack the Kangaroo" ?

Greetings from Germany, alex_und_jojo!

Cache got muggled !

Have you got back down here or should it be archived?

I own Latitude 18 - I see the last 2 logs were said that they couldn't find it, so I've disabled the listing and will get down to check it as soon as I can - but that won't be until Saturday 2 August.

Had a good look and couldn't find it.

Is it still there?

Didn't find it. Did plenty of searching, but grass was recently mowed quite severely and bushes were hacked back. Maybe discovered? Tried this one on the Spit to Manly walk.

What a great walk will come back to complete it shortly
tnln, tftc

Waling from Manly to Cammeray, this was our second.
Took a matchbox car to make room for a TB and dice we were leaving.
Logged in.

Found this one as I warmed up after a dive at Fairlight. The sky was blue and the water was very clear, if a little chilly. I could have sat there all day and watched the world go by. TFTC, no swaps to hand, so TNLN SL.

nice easy find and our first of three for the afternoon. exactly where i would've hid it and a beautiful view. left pin and plate tb and took princess cleo tb.

First cache in NSW - great place to start the search. Love Manly - first visit in 1969, long gap between drinks.
Thanks for the cache.
Left travel bug Princess Cleo.

Last cache for the weekend. Sunday evening, quick search and find under the cover of darkness.
Stood for a while enjoying the tranquility of the harbour before heading home.
Left dog at the cache (small soft toy, not a real dog).

This was my last cache for the day. Walked past but the Gismo took me back to the spot and with a little help from The Voucher (found it Mar 1) I made the find. We've walked almost 14 miles from the city. Next stop some pub in Manly.

Had a long walk to Merry Widow and after find Merry Widow and registering our find looked up to see a bus pulling up on a near by street. With a bit of waving and some running managed to catch this bus. The driver was wondering what we had been doing. When we explained Geocaching both the driver and the 1 other passenger took details of the web site and we beleive could take up Geocaching. The bus driver dropped us off at the closest stop to this cache. After a short walk and some searching we found the cache then walked back to the peir to catch the ferry back to Cicular Quay.

A short walk from the spot the bus driver dropped us off and a quick look and we had our 3rd find on our day trip to Manly. A walk along the beach back to Jetty a coffee and the onto Ferry back to Sydney. TFTC

We've walked this path many, many times and finally decided to take the GPS with us... found the cache easily enough, but a bit tricky to reach - luckily we had a friend with us who has loooong arms! Loads of muggles about, but easy enough to hide from them behind a rock whilst writing the log. TN Left Koala, SL. TFTC

Found with kimjayne. Left pen and golf ball. Nice view.

Kimjayne has posession of this TB12VBZ coin, found at Latitude 18 and will be taking it to Montana, United States of America, for another stash. This little coin is really seeing the world! We were with Narrabeen for this find, and left several interesting goodies in the box. Cache is in great shape.

A quick and easy find after a couple of very frustrating DNFs.

Cheers.

Found this one quickly after a short walk from the car. Grabbed TB.

Found by friend we were introducing to geocaching. Took the Canadian geocoin, left fireman. Will take the coin on our mission to South Africa.

I found this one quickly while visiting Manly for the day. What a wonderfull place, and a great way to unwind after a long week of work. The views here are fantastic. I dropped a coin and TB that want to see Australia. TFTC

First cache Down Under! Left Canadian Geocoin and took TB. I will move it inland or back to Canada!

My first of three finds for the day. Dropped Maui T. Bug. Took nothing. A beautiful day for the walking tour of caches around Manly. TFTC!!

Quick Find. TFTC

Joint effort with smatty and mightybent.Good spot for a picnic lunch.

Stopped at this cache with dentoz and smatty for a picnic lunch. We spotted some other caches coming out of GZ, the GPS was a give away. Smatty hid his!

Nice GZ, so close to the path but out of sight. Thanks very much Dr Livingstone.

nice spot and an easy cache thanks..

After doing some caches earlier in the day with some local friends in the wild and wooly weather, we had warmed up with some delicious mulled wine and tumble dried our saturated clothes, and decided to have a look for this one before catching the ferry home. The GPSr wanted to send us to our untimely death but mrs bloopy used the force and found the cache in a snap - grabbed the TB.

#124. First find on a return walk from Manly Wharf to The Spit with cousins Sune and Jane. Easy find. Surprisingly out of view of the path given how close GZ is to the path. First find in NSW after failed attempts to find CBD micros on other vistis.

Nice view but a little rainy. But nerven the less, we got it.

Nice little walk from the ferry. My GPSr had me about 10 meters away. Found it anyway. TFTC

Found after a visit to Oceanworld!

Walked past here on the way to Fairlight pool for an afternoon swim. Most exciting cache of the day due to numerous muggles walking past. We went for a combination of speed and hiding (and commando rolls from the 7yo) to get and replace the cache.
Took a $1 coin (used to buy delicious bread rolls) left a bracelet.

A quick and easy find with a great view

Found this cache today on a great walk along the coast.
TFTC twinky...

Found at 1510. After walking from 'KangarooHop', arrived to find a muggle resting near GZ. Luckily fter 10 minutes he decided to leave. Found the cache quickly, and took a few photos of the wonderful view.

TNLN. TFTC.

A quick grab whilst geokids were in the water slides.
Found after a bit of a search (at the wrong elevation[:(!]).
Took 2 x TB's Left $1 coin.
TFT nice C.

Fairly quick find this one during breaks in the muggles. Nice views of Manly. Took a geocoin. Thanks Dr Livingstone.

A quick find after a fantastic sail race.
Nice spot!
Ah and saw a penguin as well.

Took the ferry out to Manly and had a great walk out to this cache. Saw a penguin in the water and watched some boats go by. Grabbed the Red 4x4 and dropped a TB that wanted to return to Australia and a local geocoin. Thanks for a beautiful cache!

A nice spot to relax after a walk through Manly. TFTC.

Second last cache for the day with Toonarmy. Nice views and easy to find, although alot of muggles around. Took the Bunyera Prowler53. Thank You for the Cache.

Just arrived at this one with The Carey Clan when someone walks up to us and say "I know what your doing". The yellow GPS is a clear give away to anyone in the know. We introduced our selves and Zedfanatic introduced himself.

He'd been unsuccessful in his hunt for this one so wished us good luck and went on his way. We were a bit luckier ourselves and found this quite quickly so The Carey Clan chased after Zedfanatic so he could also sign the log and everyone could go home happy.

It was harder to find parking nearby than it was to find the Cache. Great spot with brilliant Harbour views, thanks for taking us there

Took: GeoWoodstock4 Geocoin
Left: Bunya's Prowler53 2007 Geocoin

Got as close as we could with this one, and walked around a bit, there was a muggle sunbaking right where the co ords were telling us it was, so we couldent really do anything. Waited a while but she wasn't going any where in a hurry. Will have a try and get back to this sometime soon.

Nice quick easy find after two DNF earlier on in the morning. Left a VW Car TB and a GeoWoodstock4 Geocoin plus a few toys in exchange for a YoYo.

Doing a little caching while on a business trip from Reston, Virginia, USA.

Thanks for placing this cache!

Cache On!

Another great spot along here for a cache. I was on foot so this was the last one for me today before heading back to the ferry. Nice spot. TFTC.

I came a bit too early to the Jazz festival so I came here to kill time. Found it after looking for a while. This is my second find ever, and the first of the day. After taking thongs and leaving an equidna pin I went back to the festival, which was already on.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Jazz & Geocaching - what a perfect combination! We took some time out from the Manly Jazz Festival to grab this cache. An easy find in a great place with magnificent views across the cove towards the heads. It was nice to escape the crowds for awhile and sit on the rocks listening to the sea. A muggle-free area on this busy weekend in Manly.

When no mugglers were enjoying the sunshine on the nearby cliffs, this was a quick and easy find in the windy weather. Took a car and left a huge black spider.

Great view! A windy day while we were there too but otherwise nice and sunny.
Thanks for the cache

This is a path I am very familar with. I have walked this section many times. Mind you that didn't help me find the cache, but it wasn't too hard.
A great outlook.
Thanks, Robmc.

easy find could have missed it
never knew the place existed
not down on the rock
now have a dirty sock
(lntn)

Great Walk from around grotto point to here and into Manley.
Easy find, no muggles while we were there enjoying the sunset. TNLN-TFC, Bushpigs, visiting fron Cape Town SA

MUGGLES MUGGLES MUGGLES everywhere, sitting right on top of where I suspect the cache was. Disappointed not to find, but that was well made up for by the lovely day and the view. Maybe next time I'm in Oz we'll be more fortunate. Thanks!

lovely stroll and enjoyable search.

Nice easy find to start the day. Got this cache a 3:am and even at that time of night the views are great.
Took the T/B "BVI Bound" and will place it in the "Travel Bug Motel" near Sydney airport with a note to the Caribbean or somewhere near, that way it should reach Amelie and Remi sooner.
Thanks for the cache Dr Livingstone and thankyou Molly & Jack for the travel bug.
Regards Philma.

Not that easy to get a chance to look. Two mugglers (female and male) spent at least an hour in the sunshine. When they finally left and I was on my way, next couple was already laying down ... Have to go back another day!

Lovely view looking out over the water, nice easy find.

nice walk by the water and easy find with good views TNLN

Dropping off the BVI Bound Travel Bug.

This is the start of BVI Bound's journey. I would like this TB to make its way around the world, to the Caribbean, and be placed in any cache in the British Virgin Islands, where friends of my kids can go and find it.

Please help !

Hi

I've posted my coordinates - Dee Why, by the way.

I've popped a travel bug in the cache - do I need to wait for it to go live before I can make the appropriate log entry, or should I be able to do that now ?

Best

Patrick
