I thought with such detailed hint and no one else here this would have been an easy find however the X in the clue is missing in reality so that was a lot of manoeuvres to do.Beautiful view though
Took a while as it is firmly wedged in.think gaps in structure and leaning over rails and you won't need to lengthen your search like I did.tftc
We are spending a few nights at the nearby camping ground. After dinner I went off for a walk to find this. The walking trail is closed for construction work ATM. Nothing to stop a hungry cacher though. Will be a nice walk when it's finished. Had to do a little hunting but got there in the end. Surprised how close we are to the cliff. I'll have to come back in the day light. Thanks for the cache.
Our group got to GZ and then went on the hunt. A quick find after a look around. Now off to enjoy the view. TFTC
We were in the area for Father’s Day’s and what a way to top the the day off by finding a few geocaches. This was the second one today and we want to say thanks for placing this cache in such a beautiful location. It was really nice views from this location and I placed another piece of paper in the container as the other one was a bit damp.
Well i came back a second time and found it straight away but then muggles arrived so had to be sneaky to return. Tftc.l
Not the easiest cache to find but the hint helped. Lovely lookout, we could see back along the coast where we’ve walked. TFTC
Found it with the kids. 2 years after we were here last. Thanks Covid!! Didn't have a pen so took a photo. Thank you
After awhile of looking we were able to find it! Thanks for showing us this great location
Took a little bit to find.
Not how I thought it would be but how often goes that happen when you go in with preconceived ideas.
Just about to give up and there it was right in plain view, I had jumped the fence.
Log was a pulpy mess. Replaced with new sheet in clip log bag.
Spectacular views today, great spot.

The hint is a step in the wrong direction,
Took a while but found. Well hidden. TFTC

A location that is second to none and very familiar to me..great job(unfortunately log too wet to sign)TFTC
could not spot it, but as soon as i climbed over the railings, i spotted the prize! TFTC
After camping at pretty beach for the night went for a short walk after packing up the tent. We had been to this viewpoint but then on the way back I said let's find some caches. This was LucferArmoured's first experience caching. He found before I did when I mentioned where it was likely to be. Thanks.
Found after another nearby cache. Really glad I came here - the view is spectacular. The X in the hint requires a bit of lateral thinking. The log was a little damp, but I managed to dry it out a little bit. TFTC.
Found by Katsumar. Was a little away from the spot suggested by the hint but seems like the best place to return it. Nice view! Thanks.
TFTC. Great spot. Cannot actually see it from between the rails. IE lean over the rail but no need to climb over.
Tricky! Got there finally. Little hard to reach and had to think through the clue more carefully. The x is still there and will never wash off. TFTC!
Heading home from a weekend away with SES, took a short detour off the highway for a few smileys. Interpreting the clue took a while and to places probably not intended but, in the end, provided the right angle to more easily spot the find that could have been accessed differently. Intending just a quick dash so I could get away without paying for parking, didn’t stop too long to enjoy the view.
X seems to have disappeared but a cheeky little cache was found regardless, TFTC

Can’t believe I just lost another pen, luckily Roxygirl has a spare. Great view
Couldn't find it the first time but on the way back read the logs and it was a quick find. Cache keeps ending up on the floor
Beautiful view! Cache had fallen so picked up and placed back into spot.

Had a day of caching in the Shoalhaven region. Picked up caches between Huskisson and Pretty Beach. A nice day outdoors to start the school holidays.
Found a small container on the ground. Replaced in a gap in structure. TFTC

Structure has had a fresh lick of paint, so recent that you can see splashes of black on the sword grass! Couldn’t find it today, if the paint job was after the most recent finder than this one is possibly gone.
Found 10:17 28/6/20 while enjoying the Merry Beach - Pretty Beach walk. Awesome views. Thank you Philma for the cache and bringing me to this location.
We finally got to go away after months of Covid enforced weekends in Canberra, so we headed down the coast for a winter visit. Whilst the weather wasn't great, that was fine, because we just relaxed, read books, stayed inside and generally took it easy.
After 24 hours of relaxing we decided to head up to Snapper point and explore this walk that we hadn't done before. It was definitely worth it, we got to strech our legs, the views were amazing, the bush was cool and we saw some whales, which is always a very cool thing to happen.
The cache is in good condition, although it was completely encased in spider webs, I guess another consequence of Covid.
Thanks for the Cache Philma

We’ve been watching this cache for a few months as it was home to a special little ninja turtle travel bug. Unable to visit due to the horrendous bushfires on the south coast, we finally had an opportunity to make the 3.5hr journey here today! And what a great find!!! An older cache, a breathtaking view & the little TB we’d been wanting. We had other tb’s to trade, but none that would fit in the cache. Picked up Mikey to move onwards. A great spot for the cache!! We passed a mob of kangaroos and an echidna literally crossed the path in front of us. Well worth the $8 entry fee to the park. We might even return here to camp one day! TFTC Philma xo
BYO pen, found the trackable, but no X... or maybe the x is a little funky looking
Been camping at pretty beach for the last few days and decided to make the short walk up to grab this cache and check out the lookout. Very pretty and peaceful. TFTC!
Awesome view and we drop a trackable Mickey will start his adventure in this gorgeous spot
After finding the X the little box was quickly grabbed. Thank you for showing this place and the cache.
Down at the coast for a long weekend with the family. Today it was a tour just me and the Geooma to visit the Kioloa area and collect a few caches.
Took a few minutes to find. all in good order.
Thank you Philma for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Found this one on a mid week escape with my newly retired geobuddy StrangeTrousers. Nothing like a little warmth and fish & chips away from the cold of Canberra. Big thanks to ST for all the driving. We used our stamp Kayaking cachers to log the find.
This place is very special - we got to see some whales breaching.
Thanks Philma for giving us a reason to discover it

#5366 7th for today
Time for another mid-week trip out to the coast to defrost and enjoy the seaside. I was joined, as usual, by my fellow, professional geocacher CBRChic. This time it was a bit of an exploratory trip as much as a geo-trip. Some of the areas visited did not have many if any caches. We started up at Bawley Pt and headed south via Shelley Pt, Kialoa, Pretty Beach and finally Pebbly Beach. We also spotted a pod of whales heading up the coast.
Fantastic views from here. This is where we spotted the whale pod. Had to wait for a large group of muggles to clear before we could attempt the find. They were German so I'm sure they would have understood our activities.
Thanks Philma

Bit of a tricky one, there was a Muggle, but he was distracted talking to my Hubby so Geo Kid managed to grab it un noticed!
Heading north-east with PacGirl on a Easter roadtrip, we had no real target other than walking up Mt Kosciusko on the way to wherever we were going. I love these unplanned roadtrips where there isn't much of an agenda!
By this stage we had hiked around the top of Mt Kosciusko, made an impromptu visit to the Queanbeyan Mega, and ended up exploring this stunning part of the NSW coast.
After wandering around Merry Beach we found our way to the top and extended our walk to these nearby caches. Great views from this lookout, and obviously it's very popular as it took ages waiting for a break in muggle activity to retrieve the cache.
Thanks Philma.

Stunning views from here! Muggle companions took photos while I hunted for the cache. As we were leaving a pair of muggles were headed our way so it looks like we timed it perfectly. Thanks Philma
Beautiful spot. Came here for the view and checked for a cache after the fact. Bonus! Log seemed to be full.
TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
Found with GrimRaider, Kittykatch, Joolay & Tankengine.
After a big day yesterday picking up a number of caches, today we thought we would pick up a few more before heading home.
The views are pretty nice here and even the trail up to it was nice. It took a little traversing to get up the stairs to the look out as the recent rains have made puddles of the steps, but it wasn't too bad. We got to admire the view before a couple of tourists came which then made retrieving the cache a little more adventurous. Tankengine made the leap to reach the cache and Kittykatch signed the log while Joolay and I played Photogarphy Diversion Tatics to keep the tourists thinking that we weren't caching at all ; ) Tftc Philma!!!

Found with Joolay, dty73 and Tankengine on a beaut weekend of Canberra cachers hitting the south coast. Lots of fun and great caches. Wow the view from this little lookout were fabulous. Found the cache without much trouble - cache found in good condition. Lovely walk - TFTC
Found with Kittykatch, Grimraider and DTY73 on a caching weekend at the coast. Fabulous day and great to explore as I have not been in this area for years. I came to Kiola about 20 years ago for a short stay with Uni. This lookout is stunning and so glad this cache bought me here. Absolutely beautiful. Definitely worth a fav point. TFTC
Nice cool night for a ride so headed off the beaten track to find this one- took a while and then after reading previous log found Gz tftc
Log pretty full

Caching with oldmorty on Australia Day. Could not see an X anywhere. It was very hot so took the easy way out and wandered around the fence to under the platform and soon had CIH. It wasn’t until we sat down on the steps, to eat our lunch, that oldmorty saw the X. Very clever. Not what I was expecting. TFTC Philma
OCW frazeydaze around Bawley Point & Kioloa. After parking in the designated parking area we started our walk up the hill towards the lookout and whilst initially not understanding the hint it soon became apparant after we found the cache. SL and then sat for a while and enjoyed the view while we ate our lunch. TFTC Philma.
