missing

i'm not fixing it

dropped in for a quick look and so the kids could have a play on the playground. could not find! nearby beach is great, i grew up in the gong and had not been to this beach before. TFTC.

I believe this one has been muggled

Has the cache been repaired yet.. please advise

The cacher who owns the cache no longer caches, I will fix this one up for him in the next couple of weeks.

Maybe a cache check is due, pulled off the loose caps only on the fence post and on the logs looks like where a
micro would be hid.The ocean views great a find would have been better.....

Hmmmm. There appears to be a lot of action like the kind recommended in the hint. We found many lids loose and on the ground everywhere. We put a lot back too. But we didn't find a cache. Will try again another time. Great spot anyway. And we visited the Wombarra Sculpture Garden up the hill from here. Cheers...........Gaztek

Bad day at Black Rock, 3rd DNF, will try again sometime, convinced we'd got the right place though, maybe it's been muggled.

Found it, thanks

Found it with dodgy123, SL, cheers.

Even a seat was thoughtfully provided where you can sit, fill out the log and admire the view.
Thanks Wombarra Boy

no1 easy find no muggles

A few muggles, but they paid no attention to my grab and go/ SL TNLN TFTH

Nice easy find, the last cache for a day of cahing down the gong. TFTC

A nice easy find, with no muggles about at all. TFTH...SL...TNLN

Rolled by the cache on the way home from the beach. Found after about 5 mins of searching. Clever hide!

Had a bit of a search before some muggles turned up. We abondoned the search and will come back.

This place is paradise and what a great location for a swim.

As I was Caching solo this morning I was grateful that the park was deserted. It only took a short time before I found the Cache. Nice one and thanks for showing me a really cool beach.

164 - What a clever hide. As we arrived there was some muggles near GZ as we approached them they moved on so we had the area to our self’s to do the hunting.

Thanks for the hunt

Found many of similar hides. No problem for me.
Found this cache during my Australian caching holidays. TFTC and cheers from Germany,

Nearest cache to home so just a short stroll and a find (by the Mrs again)! TFTC

Did alot of what the hint suggested.... and it looks like alot of others had done the same.
But no find

A quick grab in the rain. Nice spot to stretch the legs. TFTC

TFTC during a good drive.

This was a very sneaky one indeed.................. MIssy found it TNLN SL TFTC

4:10pm.
Cunning!

Found at 5.20pm. Last one for day.

Great spot, easy find.

after checking on our cache we stopped here after a short look we found it nice spot if it was sunny

Using the alternate coordinates in the previous logs made this a relatively quick find and didn't have us searching in the wrong area (which has several of the 'usual suspect' type hiding places)

There are a lot of these hides back home so it made for an easy find.

Visited Ra's Gecko

Beautiful see views all over the coast line here.
A hading place not unfamiliar to me so an easy find!
TFTC Wilbert67

Found 13:20. Nice hide GZ was clear of muggles.

Had to wait while some inconsiderate family let their 3 year old play in the playground.

Once they had gone it was easy. Co-ords were spot on.

[As per an earlier log we had already decided to ignore the posted coords and use our hunch as to where the cache would most likely be hidden. The posted coords lead you to a seat where evidence of damage caused by previous caches who were looking for the cache using the posted hint was evident.

We found the well-hidden container at S 34 16.445 E 150 57.461.

As hints are meant to assist cachers find an elusive cache-hide, perhaps a more useful hint would be:] Fence post[.]

Fantastic views from GZ. Took us a little while to hunt it down as the coords were a little vague, but the clue was very helpful.

TNLNSL

TFTC!!!!

The park was deserted when I arrived this afternoon and I was able to search unhindered. I didn't take too long before I found the craftily hidden container. Typically this type of hide is given away, but the hider found a novel way of avoiding the tell tale.

found it last for the night with geokids asleep in the geomobile
getting use to this type of hide think we would have found it quicker then we did.
tftc

Our first cache of the day after meeting up with Team Webguy nearby. It was sooooo hot! The beach was calling...

12:53pm
Easy find, once we ignored the co-ords. So hot in the sun.

Nice quick find....by me....after geodad signalled the car in vain...bout time i found one he reckons!!!! TFTC

A very quick find during a break in a very scenic drive. Found this within 30 secs Cheers Gav [2860]

Spectacular views and a nice beach, enjoyed the visit.

No kids around which made it easier.
Required a bit of thinking, but didn't take us too long.
Awesome hide!
The old log was a bit soggy. Perhaps needs replacing.

This could have been a whole lot harder during the day with muggles around, fortunately no-one to stop us doing a proper search, found by the Wollongong Invasion team.

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.

Glad we managed to get this far north of the Gong. Six pairs of eyes searching had the cache in no time. Thanks.

30th of 41 finds during the first day of our invasion to Wollongong. Found with Mtbikeroz, Tankengine, Mtrax, Secret Squirrel and Captain Tomato.

Hit the park, made the find and it was then out of the park.

Glad there were no kids around, made it a wee bit easier.

TFTC.

Cheers,

Found on day 1 of our Wollongong Invasion weekend with Secret Squirrel, Captain Tomato, Mtrax, Sol de Lune and Mtbikeroz! Nice easy find, our second northernmost find this weekend. TNLN, thanks wombarra boy.

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.

Nice little hide beside the sea, Thanks.

913(+9=922) 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.

Clever hide.

Thanks wombarra boy for organizing the hunt and the cache!

First find for the Wollongong Invasion weekend, Found the coords a bit out but got there in the end.

Thanks wombarra boy for the cache.

thank you for that Usat31

thank you for that Usat31

Found with Gregonaut and Kazbomb in the dark using torches. Muggles training nearby and their offspring on the playground added to the adventure. Had a lot of fun. TFTC

Found it Wombarra Boy & replaced the log book - don't know if it was full or not, as it was absolutely soaking & could not read anything.
Put the full cache in a zip-loc bag, along with the soaking log. Put New log inside container & performed full cache maintenence, just as the owner SHOULD have done, but didn't.
Easy find. Probably should be a 1/1.
Cheers.

found quickly, difficulty rating is too high.
tnlnsl

Quickly in hand

We pulled up here and there was no one else in sight which is always a relief when a kid's playground is involved. The cache was found quickly while we admired views of the surf.
Thanks wombarra boy for the cache

can someone put new log book here for me

is the log full or not

Nice quick find.. TFTC

Bessie, our mascot loved running through the park on the way to GZ.
Clever hide wombarra boy but the log is full and requires maintenance.

found first go but may have arriased suspision of some nearby muggles.

Geokids found it pretty quickly

Caching for the day with the Gribbly's so anything that mentions a park was part of our day. The Gribblet enjoyed the swings etc and of cause we enjoyed the cache.
SL TFTC

Quickly Grabbed this one with KC. Gribblet had a play on the swings while we were in the area.

Nice little hide, actually found by Geokid (well done Lisa), making this our third for the morning.
Thank Wal and co for the company.

TFTC Wassa, Geokid and dog.

Out with Wassa and Lisa, headed down to Wombarra after taking longer at Stanwell Tops for a cache to watch the Ambulance Rescue helicopter take off with the latest hapless victim of a road accident in the southern end of the RNP.
No one around the location today, making it just a matter of time before the cache was found (by Lisa).
TNLNSL,
best wishes,
Wal, Juls and Jono.

Lots of rabbits around.

A good start to an afternoon caching expedition, with an easy find in a nice location. TFTC

My first cache. Luckily only 0.5km from home. My 3yr old enjoyed helping me while playing on the slide. Took a while to find but hey it was my first time.

883. There was almost, but not quite, Mexican stand-off at this one. Some teenagers were climbing up on top of the nearby crate. They were keeping a watch on me and vice versa. We both managed to get what we wanted to do without the other side intervening.

TFTC and the view/park.

Wombarra is a cracking place. Thanks fpr bringing us here. Great waves and a creek for the kids. Great place for my 4th Aussie cache and my 400th cache in total.

The old 'Get smart' gag of the pebbles in the stock trick. Thanks for the views.
P.S Mrs Rat use to just live up the road when she was a youngen'
