Relay For Life Wollongong East, New South Wales, Australia
By paegle boy on 31-Aug-07. Waypoint GC15J7X

time for this one to go keeps going missing

will fix up in a week or 2

will see what i can do

Took a group of young and up and coming cachers who were participating in the 2010 Relay for Life to find this one. Had read that it may have been muggled. After a short search of the site all that was found was the tattered remnants of the pink log book.

great idea, did it before RFL started

We found an old tattered small pink note book lying on the ground near the 'prickly little guards' which judging by the readable notes inside was the cache log. It would appear the cache has been removed or destroyed

Wouldn't expect to find a cache here. TNLN.

Thanks, found with wife and geo-pup.

Reperio at 2100. Without knowing the local area to well, I ended up parking in the Bunnings car park and made a quick jog to GZ. With no one around, the cache was soon found, although being very mindful of the little pricks guarding the cache.

Gratias PB.

TB Drop!

Came and took EuraTB didnt see any moose's though...

Found on a run to Wollongong with fitzy_1965.
There were plenty of people out because it was just glorious in the sunshine.
Quick find and onto the next one.
TFTC.

2382 - Found on a run down to Wollongong with ACBC66 for a Birthday Party - how convenient !!

Parked nearby and a short walk in led to a quick find at GZ. Thanks guys !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Nice theme. TFTC

Picked up in the morning after an overnight stay in Wollongong.
A rather spiky GZ, eventually retrieved it without too many ouches...Thanks

A quick early morning find before heading back to Canberra. Took trackable for relocation to the A.C.T. Cheers and thanks for the cache.

We were down in the Wollongong area for the weekend so did a bit of caching while we were here. We parked over near the tennis courts and had an enjoyable walk around to near GZ. Marco was the designated "muggle spotter" while I searched for the cache and we soon had it in hand. There was no TB in the cache despite one being listed. We dropped off the Eura TB and signed the log. TFTC

Good spot, left TB. Thanks

This one was harder to find than I expected, but in the end it soon revealed itself, prickles and all.
Thanks PB, and I had fun watching some young kids attempting some pole vaulting at the track..

found location and quickly grabbed cache before slow moving senior muggle came. did it with Toadmiester 7 and our dog.TFTC

Completed with Ace7 and our dog Milo who enjoyed the walk. Reached GZ and then waited till area was muggle free. Quick Grab OUCH and then logged and stashed. TFTC

Tbone and I were out this way riding bikes and stopped in to drop off a TB. I have a soft spot for this cache as it was the first Wollongong cache we found. I thought it was missing initially. LOL. I suck at geocaching sometimes.

A quick find with workmate Eddie who was being shown geocaching. Eddie says that this appears fun. Log only, Thanks for the hide.

Our 50th find - yahoo. Rescued the cache from the snails but should have brought some gloves. TNLN. TFTC

Found with Cranky Gekkos this morning, good day 3 down. Took a Vegas card and left a health lanyard. Thanks.

A quick find while the Little A's were running their area carnival... Ahh.. the weekends which I have spent here in the heat and squatting lies.... all good fun.
No TBs in the cache

Nice and easy find.

TNLNSL TFTC

TFTC SL TN left playing card

3rd find, Woohoo !!!

About 3+ miles into my walking tour of the area I ended up on the wrong side of the fence....Had to backtrack around for the quick find.....TFTC!!

Once I got my gloves on this was a quick find. Greetings from Everett, WA, USA. TFTC

Found with the pontifications of McPhan and Winglen ringing in my ears..

See, I told you it was there.

Thanks for the cache

As McPhan said, there was much anxiety about whether we had chosen the right side of the fence, until we spotted some likely cover. Found by Zsazsa7. Thanks Paegle Boy.

2601. [font=Trebuchet Ms][green]For interstate visitors the biggest issue was - in or out. Eventually we decided out and once at GZ the find was made at the only possible spot.

TFTC and the switch.[/green][font=Verdana]

A quick jog along the out side of the track soon found ourselves at GZ only one possible hiding spot, OCH OCH
those pickles hurt natures way of keeping the muggles away but a cache need to be uncovered.Just loved the
cache container fitted in so well with the area......TFTC SLTN....

444 - 3 for today. Found on 1/11/2009 at 12:48 PM.
An easy find, TFTC. TNSLLN

A quick find as I knew were it was after some previous visits! Thanks for putting it back online. The cache is in perfect order.
TFTC Wilbert67

the we site is http://www.relay.cancercouncil.com.au/relay.html?relay_id=358

it's on the weekend

will have a look when Relay For Life is on

After a hint from somone who found it a while ago, I had a quick look being in the area anyway.
The cache is not where it supposed to be!! Please check up and replace or archive this one.
Kind regards Wilbert67

cant remember if that was the date.... i made a new account....was an easy find

Being a last minute trip, I didn't go through the last logs like i should have. Having very few places to look at GZ and not finding it, I checked on the Oregon that i saw in the last log that its gone. (over 3 months ago)

This one needs to be disabled until its checked/replaced.

Thought there were TB's in the cache. Went to pick them up but the cache wasn't there. I had only found this a few months back so I know where it was then.

Should be checked out.

Hope this is OK to log this as "needs maintenance" rather than DNF.

Hi. Nice easy find, just what I needed after a long lay off.

I've left two travel bugs and one geocoin (Canadian). The owner of one of the travel bugs (the one in the plastic bag) was asking me to move it on (quite rightly after many months). Could someone pick up this travel bug and move it on after its companions as it is meant to move? I didn't have time.

Thank you,

Kane.

yew i found it! first one, yes its sad. youve gotta start somewhere though!
i took a blue paper clip and put in a mini green highlighter!

I wanted to do this easy one on the invasion tour but was outvoted, a solo driveby and walk today produced a good result. I just love the sound plastic makes when its tapped especially in these areas. Bumped the GC that I will log later as it's buried in the car somewhere.
TFTC.

Hooray, Tbone and I found it! It is a great one from new geocachers. Nice to know they are some geocaches I can find.

Took the bindeez rabbit and left a small tape measure.

sneaky hide but fun to find
took tape measure and keyring
left polar bear and geocoin
TFTC

all good

Found easily on a day out caching. Took TB, My Left Toe....ewww grosss!!!!! TFTC

found this one with Moneydork

I participated in the relay for life in New Zealand.
Added a travel bug.

Found this with KellickGuider and BxAG on a weekend away.

Another one for NJ on her weekend with BxRG and KellickGuider.

Took my sister, brother in-law and their two sons caching for the first time and this was the first cache we found. They were suitably impressed and the kids loved it.

Took marbles and left a spinning top.

TFTC in a nice area and easily accesible.

In the area for the weekend and found this on a quick detour from the beach. Left TB

this was my first cache found-- its a nice easy one to start with

Found it easy.

But no Travel Bug in cache

Found at 6:30pm with no Muggles in sight.
T: Travel Bug, Marble and Rubber Duckie
L: Key Ring, Shell and Beedo's.
TFTC

Found at Relay For Life as my 100 cache

After short walk I found it with no problems, good cache-drop TB- thanks paegle boy

will have a look when the Relay for lifeâ„¢ is on and will be bering a new cache to (if it is not there)

Might want to check this one. There is a pile if cut timber and leaves where once there would have been trees.

It couldnt be anywhere else but where it was, but it still took us a while to find. There were people warming up at the nearby facilities. It looked like they were going to go pole-vaulting judging by the long pole and mats they were dragging out.

Thanks for the cache

Please note that I dropped a TB (Blue Cat) in this cache but accidentally recorded it as having been dropped into 'Has the postie come yet 2'. Ooops! I hope whoever decides to move it on can sort out my little mess.

Our first find on the last day of the Wollongong Invasion weekend. A nice easy find to start the day. TFTC

Found with SuperJaz, Bewilderbeest, and Ultra Violet Z. on the Wollongong Invasion weekend. This was very very well hidden.

Thank you thank you!!!

Our first find on Sunday morning. It wa very quiet out and not many muggles to worry about. The cache was well hidden but we found it soon enough. We also saw a coal train go by!

Thanks paegle boy.

Left Sun Bug TB...Wollongong is warmer, if not sunnier than Canberra.

Found after the event dinner with MTBO, mtrax, SS, CT and SDL. Very long coal train went rattling past just as we found the cache! Most impressive. TNLN, thanks paegle boy.

found after our Invasion dinner, we had to circle back to find an better car park, found quickly.

Found with mtbikeroz, Tankengine, mtrax, Sol de Lune and Secretsquirrel-BJC on the Wollongong Invasion. This was a fantastic weekend of fun and sun, meeting the locals, and chasing excellent caches.

Enjoyed the early evening walk to GZ, timed nicely to coincide with the passing train. Thanks Paegle boy.

35th find of 41 for car number 3 (Mtbikeroz, Tankengine, Mtrax, Sol de lune) on the first day of our caching invasion to Wollongong. Also along with us for this one was car 4, Secret Squirrel and Captain Tomato.

Another find after the cache dinner. Parked nearby and walked the path to find the cache in it's hiding spot. And yep, the coal train was a long one.

TNLN and TFTC Paegle Boy - is this the 50th you were looking for!!

Cheers,

A great weekend for the Wollongong Invasion with Sol de Lune, TankEngine & mtrax, and often teaming up with SecretSquirrel-BJC and Captain Tomato at times. A wonderful weekend of caches, views, sub-terranian and very clever hides.

A nice hide in a nice spot, Thanks Paegle boy.
So, my fellow cachers think that coal train was long did they - Ha - I've seen 3 times that length up in a Nth NSW location. But hey, whos counting carriages, it was a NICE spot anyway.

918(+9=927) with Captain Tomato, mtbikeroz, Tankengine, mtrax and Sol de Lune on the Wollongong Invasion – a wonderful sunny weekend with friendly welcoming locals, finding clever hides, near spectacular coastal views, rugged escarpment and rainforest.

Enjoyed watching a big train come past.

Thanks paegle boy for organizing the hunt and the cache!

I didn't spot it when i had a quick hunt

found this one quickly, although the walk in was from probably the further location you can park and still be nearby.
nice hiding place, lets hope they don't trim the trees.

Close to Michael's place and our last for the day. A late log so no idea of what we swapped.
