For the View Ettalong Beach, New South Wales, Australia
By GeoMonkeys on 31-Jan-08. Waypoint GC1912H

cache is not there... did a check. closing down.

Didn't know that GeoMonkeys had disabled it, we soon came up with no cache in hand. But I think we found something just as good. A little bluetongue was sitting among the leaf litter by a rock. Probably the tamest bluetongue we've ever seen. Even a few soft pockes with a stick didn't budge him. So we got a little bolder...
Oh thanx for the new location GeoMonkeys.

Thought I found the spire and the hollow but no cache.

definitely needs some maintinence. stay tuned.

Unfortunately I have to log a DNF this time. Spent a decent amount of time up there but no cache appeared.
Oh well at least there were fantastic views to drown out our sorrows

looks like a cache check may be needed... stay tuned.

Spent a good hour up there great view but no cache, is it still there?

Me and my mate (Who has now been introduced to geocaching) found this today, its good fun up on the mountain! ;p

Found with MrDamage and SkyPirate~. Mum wouldn't let SkyPirate~ put it back so MrDamage did.

Good view went out to the lookout aswell sneaky place to put a cache but found it beside Mrdamage and Auroraeva and a few more poeple it deserves this spot. TFTC

Found it with SkyPirate~ and AuroraEve TFTC. The view is good.

Great views so lovely up here. Thanks

A beautiful walk around here in a lovely part of the world. Lovely views of Broken Bay and Lion Island. Make sure you bring your camera to take some photos of a world class view from the cache position. We have been coming to Woy Woy all our lives and I haven't ventured up here except for finding this cache. So thanks for taking the time and effort to place it. TNLN TFTC.

Second find for the day. Had been here with my brother Bruwstera and was time to take hubby eaviate and daughter Missy mou. Still had fun looking and dredging the memory to find this one again. Fantastic views. TFTC GeoMonkeys

We Were pushed for time, nearly had to abandon the search. But alas, we had a last minute reprieve. When all seemed lost perserverance on and around the rocks paid off. TNLN. TFTC. Found by Bruwstera, Wackydo, Stampy and Blizzard.

Very hard to find. Don't go down the cliff - on face in rocks ( it can see the beach!)

Thanks for showing me a great spot TNLNSL

TFTC, great spot, even better hide.

Nice Views, well worth the walk and a cache as a bonus or is that nice cache, well worth the walk and a view as a
bonus?

Anyway thanks.

woo hoo found it! i havent climbed a mountain in years! good hiding spot but yea the clue leaves you a bit puzzled! took TB and left rex trex.

Looked around everywhere for ages but couldn't find it.

After having fond the Dark Obstruction we extended the nice bush walk.
The clue is really OK, but you have to think laterally.
Took a koala, left TB, lanyard and light stick.

Good spot, Great view

i was lucky to see it. clue didnt help much

On top of the spire? Found it anyway. Clue wasn't very helpful. Otherwise Good Hide!

found it.

nice view of ettalong good hide

encrypted clue is very missleading though i sisnt see a spire but good hide.

Nice walk along from "dark obstruction". Unfortunately couldn't find anything that fitted the hint and description.

On holiday and thought I'd find a couple of caches, why not!!! Lovely lovely lovely, gorgeous weather, loved the walk, introduced newbie who will log as chelseabuns.

Went geocaching with peteandsara. Second find for the day. View was awesome.

Big family weekend! This one was our favourite, even with the excessive and unnecessary driving around!

Found this one with TheMonks on a family weekend get-together at Ettalong. We might get a few more keen geocachers out of this.
Had trouble finding the right road........all our maps said we could drive right to the lookout at the top, but we found out you can't!
Anyway, we had a good time getting there and then finding it......lots of laughs
Took nothing, but left a Vietnamese 10,000 Dong note. Don't spend it all in one place!

What a gorgeous spot, the views are spectacular! Good hide took a little bit to find. TNLNSL TFTC

A perfect day and an excellent short walk. We let the GPS settle while we had morning tea, then strolled over and picked up the cache. The nearby lookout has one of the better views in the area. TNLN and TFTH. A great cache GeoMonkeys.

Really enjoyed this walk up here today. Didn't see a soul but could hear lots of traffic, weekend lawnmowers and dogs barking in the suburbs below. Took little tin, left socceroo disc. Thanks Geomonkeys!

Another fine cache from the Monkeys. A bit harder than normal as I didn't allow for the usual (and unexplainable) 8m quantum leap between the Monkeys and my co-ords. After extending the search to allow for this, a very sneaky hole was found.

Thanks for the walk.

Another joint effort with cousin Schnappstix. I had no idea the view from here was so good ( or even that there was a view!). Still only our second geocache - this could become a habit!!

Found with geocousins. What a great view it is. Thanks for getting us to explore this hill which I have driven round many times. T screwdrivers L Big red sports car

Walked across from D.O.on a nice track, with the odd view of Woy Woy below. The search for the cache was frustrating at times for me, with the clues a little cryptic.
'Daddy's Little Helper' my 6yr old daughter scrambled over the rocks despite my pleas to keep away from the edges! She has the makings of a much braver geocacher than her 9yr old brother who was happy to sit well away from the edge.
We were just about to but in a DNF when the cache was spied in a micro cave. TNLNSL, TFTC and the great views down the coast.

Teamed up with ruffasguts4x4 and Deputyd0g and coy for a day of Central Coast Caching. This one came online just a day after I was last up here and the possible FTF was the first thing I thought of when it was published. Oh well a chance to finish it off came about today. Nice easy walk into GZ and the Cache was located quickly. Nice spot and thanks for showing it to us.

Whoa what a view! A good cache to, quickly found and logged, enjoyed the walk here from Dark Obstruction, with Deputy Dog and Wandering Wilko's TFTC TNLN

Very NIce walk from Dark Obstruction and a good Hide. Yes an a great spot.
TNLN SL

Nice walk,but not so good the second time when i realised I still had the pen and had to go back again!

I HATE 'bejeezees big' SPIDERS!!!
i thought attempting this cache at this time of the year i'd miss the orb spiders, but there were plenty of other to make up for that!! nice view and wasnt that hard to find in the end. TFTC!!!

We found ourselves onlt 130m away from the cache, but realised we had an elevation, and access issue, so we approached from another angle.
Took about 10 minutes for find this one, then spent longer admiring the views.
TNLN
Thanks Pesky!

The bejeesus spiders!! I hate spiders

Az happened to turn off from the track to take in the view and a few photos, and lo and behold when I followed it said we were standing on GZ! Turns out that it was not quite true, and we ended up phoning a friend who 'told us where it was' when the hint failed to click. Turns out she hasn't actually done this cache yet and was confusing it with another one, but nonetheless the hint worked. TNLN. Thanks for convincing us to come and take a look from one of the best vantage points in the area.

Did this one with Toonarmy. Nice walk and nice views. Nice place for a cache - thank you for taking us there. TFTC

Found with The Carey Clan.

Easy find in the end took Noras och Lelles starlight TB for our troubles.

At least its all down hill on the way back.

1 of 2 for the day (17 of 18 for the weekend) More mossies hear than almost anywhere I have been before.
Found with Team Wintonio and Team Super Best Friend.
TNLN TFTC

Thought we might be first to find as there were no logs.
Set off with Team Batty, racing against Team Super Best Friends. Found it first, but alas it had already been found.

*FTF* Its a great view from up here, I can nearly see my house... I have been up on the moutain before, but never along this branch of the track.Left Starlight TB, keyring, took car.A few mozzies were around.Headed back along the path less traveled.

P.S I you wander off the track around the base of the resivour you may see a picture of the Geomonkey himself.
