Pikku Taditam 2 Manly East, New South Wales, Australia
By ilikeprivacy and groundswelldottv on 23-Mar-08. Waypoint GC1AF3Z

Rather than throw another DNF on the pile I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the probability of it being missing is high. Hoping the owner can check on it soon to confirm or deny.

I don't get over this way very often and last time I did I was unable to find it yet others have found it since.

Given the recent string of DNFs I think archiving it is most appropriate.

No luck - is it still here???

We spent quite a lot of time looking for this one. We looked here and there. We looked high and we looked low. Unfortunately we found loads of pieces of rubbishy junk but not this plastic bottle. With a 4 and 5 year old up the top with us we couldn't give it a 100% look as we had to keep an eye on them. Hopefully it is still there. Enjoyed the spot anyway and we were enroute to other caches so it wasn't out of our way.

Not found

Lots of places to look!

Quick find. Odd container which is no longer waterproof. TFTC!!!

Found with Drazka1, thank you for the cache.

Nalezeno s Niki5, dik za kes.

Round and round in circles. Did not find today

Crazy cache. Hope it survives the next Australia day clean up. Couldn't sign the log....

Didn't find and the uninspiring feedback meant we didn't look long.

Don't know how I missed it last time?! Yes, the container is in very bad shape but at least I didn't pick up any ticks this time.

First cache in Australia. Easy find. Dropped a TB which I retrieved in Skane in the south of Sweden, Europe. It has followed me to Chicago and Singapore where it had been logged add a visitor. Keep on moving.

listed tb not there...

Found with Shani-elle, there was no TB as stated in the inventory (sad face) signed the log

Found OK but I agree with previous finders that the container is unsuitable. Took photo log, and TB which was holding the top on. Will place TB in a more suitable place. TFTC.

Found it with jessjo and hayleyd123

I looked around for along while and was about to give up as it was getting dark. I found the cache but the container needs replacing as it is not suitable. It is very difficult to get the log book in and out. I signed the log and put it in the snaplock bag and just put it in the top of the container.
Could the owner or the next cacher please bring another container with them.
I am not sure if this is the original hiding place as the GPS was out a little.
There is some great views looking back to Manly.
Thanks ilikeprivacy for the cache.

Great views from the top. Cache well hidden but needs maintenance, it's got holes in it.

Holes in the capsule. Paper is soggy and no pen. On the plus side, great views!

I had a LONG look around today, but even with the lack of muggles, I came up empty. Still not sure if it is up top, or where my GPSr was pointing me, which was down one level to the North. Anyway, after about 25 minutes, I gave this one a miss. Must be well hidden. REALLY enjoyed the views though!!

Our third try today, and first succes!! Premier for my friend Pancakequeen

Maybe it's not in the 'not crack' either?

Fantastic views tho

Streak day #175 - after finding bandicoot stash on the other side of the headland I decided to drive over and grab this one as it would tick off another month hidden from the list. As I wandered up the path I was a little disappointed that I wasn't going to get as nice a view as in daylight, but I was still impressed when I got to the top. Meandering around the GZ I came across the cache by accident. It was an odd container for a cache and I would have thought that it was larger than a nano. But I was grateful for the quick find. I managed to get a log out sign it then cram it back in. When I came back out to the track I had taken the harder fork for finding the cache. But I didn't mind too much since I had wanted to check out the view anyway. TFTC.

First cache of my Ozzie holiday this year beautiful spot.

Saw a snake chillaxing on a rock.

That was a longer search but we found it. What a beautiful place. Thank you.

No luck today, awesome spot!

What a nice view!!
Found this cache when travelling with Mallorcatommy!

Thanks for this little box.

Every day we are travelling around is same but also different. Today we had again the pleasure to visit some very beautiful spots and were also able to find nearly placed geocaches. I thank every single owner for placing it and giving us with doing this an other good reason to come here.

Great views... although container was a bit of a dissapointment ... but thanks for getting us here!

Finally found it after a lot of scrambling around- we went the hard way! Saw a water dragon on the way- amazing! Great views too. All the logs in this cache are falling apart and there's a hole in the container

Drut was here - found it after scrambling up some rocks we thought it was just another piece of rubbish at first then on closer inspection we were finally rewarded after a long search

Found by Brooky Venturers.

Hunted around down time. Plenty of potential hiding spots, too many muggles.

Yep!

Thanks from CZECH

the only protectors were water dragons and lizzards, but being honest, they are pretty sloppy watchmen!

Looked for a solid hour no luck :[

Tftc

Short visit of the TB

Enjoyed the scramble and the cracking view here. Was pretty busy today but no one was interested in what I was doing

Tft

geokid #2'a cache jedi like powers found this one immediately. TFTC

This one was the second last cache for this day. So I made my way up the hill and met a tourist from France. When I found the container, it was really obvious to see, so not good hiding. It seems that the container has other friends than geocacher, because it has lots of holes and/or bite marks in the lid and everywhere.

So maybe needs to check .
TFTC and greetings from Germany, searching_star

This was an easy find, thanks to the good co-ords.

Need some TLC getting chewed

Bush rats have started to eat through the bottle and cap. Logs are pretty much full.

Found it needs maintenance. Getting chewed on

No sign of it.

Found on a nice walk, TFTC, Greetings from Switzerland

Picked up a tick instead!

No luck today!

Huh! That was a tough one. My navigation was completely off but decided to give it another go on the other side of the rock when coming back down. Thanks for the cache! My third Australian one, it's def been a good day in Manley. Greetings from Finland.

Spent the day scuba diving at Shelly Beach. Fabulous spot!

Danke für den Cache

3rd time lucky and nailed it. Photos helped as iPhone compass was a bit off. It's true, a trained geocaching eye make this easier. Thanks

Found on a sunny Sunday afternoon visit to Manly. Scrambled around GZ for quite a while, checking various "cache like" camos, until finally turning up the genuine article. TNLNSL then climbed "the rock" for some magnificent views over Shelly Beach to Manly and beyond. A truly great vantage point. TFTC.

Scrambled around quote a bit, but no luck finding the cache.

Found with Jimmy, Harry and Joni. Another lovely spot on Manly. TFTC

Boooo hissss!

After visiting The Bower, I continued on the trail to Pikku Taditam 2.

This one was almost too easy for an experienced Cacher, I spotted it straight away

Thanks for this Cache!

Found 4:59pm, #2 of 2 (day), #636 (total)

Nice day for a rock scramble

Disgused among all the other rubbish

Found during a very nice daytrip to Manly. I climbed all the way up to enjoy the view and find this cache. This wasn't easy because there were lots of people up there. But in the end I managed to log in a sole moment.

Come on we found this one. Not registering

Went around once before we spotted it

Yeah

Yeah

An easy find in the end. The bottle needs urgent attention - someone has been scraping it on rocks and it is full of holes. The view from the front is great.

Other things have been happening here.

Ha. Almost gave up on this clever cash, but then approached the lookout from a different angle and spotted it.
Magnificent blue sky surfie-sea morning - brilliant place to be for sunrise. Thanks. way-finder

Easy find but not that good container.

Laughed when 'gar' walked up behind me and brought to my attention that I'd walked right past the cache container - had even seen it! Obviously caching eyes not quite on as well as I thought. Walked around to the other side of the rock for the views. Awesome walkway here with some stunning views. Very hot though today - glad it isn't yet summer. Over from NZ for a weekend tagged onto 'gar's' business trip. First time in Sydney and loving the ferry and walk in Manly. Thanks ilikeprivacy!

Second DNF - but I didn’t really prepare for it, as I was with my visitors from 日本. We watered
The Arkaroooo (TTB415BN) at Rosa Bay, had a drive toWooloomooloo, Sydney, around the Opera, and Darling Harbour. Koichi steered the vessel underneath the Harbour Bridge. It was slight rain in morning, but now it went better to have lunch in Manly, where we landed near the wharf. Walked to the beach and out to here, return over the headland. In the boat again, we got around North Head into open waters, back into Port Jackson, bit here and there, then home. A lovely place - will definitely come back for another search!

Last find for the day.. Time to walk back to the ferry and got to my side of the harbour. TFTC

On holiday from NZ and went for a walk to find this cache. Hubby went up the top to take loads of photos while I searched and searched. But no luck. Did find a lizard who scuttled away rather quickly. Thanks anyway ilikeprivacy

Took us a while but we finally found it!

Wasn't quite what we were expecting but glad to have found it in the end .. After quite a hunt! Tftc. Labufam

A quick find while in the area walking.

Would have the potential to be a favorite, if only I found it! Looks, I stay with one find this day, the Bowler nearby! All Sydeneyside was out to Manly, and accordingly busy present place. Must be back another day, in the next 10 years. DNF!

I needed to go for a walk and free my mind, so I went geocaching. I have been at this cache before but didn't have a pen. Today, halfway I realized I forgot my pen again.. So I bought one near the beach.
After climbing up to the very top, enjoying the view and let my thoughts flow, I went for the cache.
Once found I saw the pen I bought is broken (damn!) but I managed to sign it anyways, even though my signature is in the same condition as the container.
Anyways, thank you for bringing me to another spot I would've never found without Geocaching!

This container is unacceptable. There are holes in it already, looks like an animal did it.
Please replace the container!
And while you're at it, the logbook is almost full too.
Thank you

With geobuddy, Snickersallan. Took some new TBs, Big Red, Bluey, Bluey Too, Relay Runner, Goldie and Green Skippy, for mileage. TFTC

With Snickersallan. No difficulty Extracting log. Co-ords are a little off. SL Replaced log as found. no room for swaps or drops. TFTH TFTC

No "nightmare" finding this one with Mystic Seer, bit difficult to retrieve log though. Lots of photographer muggers around, TFTC

Looked for this one while walking the Bower trail today. I had just gotten to GZ and started hunting when I looked up and saw this guardian staring at me face to face. From about 6 inches away! I'm glad he wasn't excitable, because I sure jumped when I saw him! We both didn't need to jump, someone would have gotten hurt (and it probably would not have been him...).

I waited for a while hoping he would leave and finally went on up the top to look around. I figured he'd be gone before I got back and then I could hunt without disturbing him. No luck. He was still there when I got back and was just daring me to move him.

Rather than risk injury to one of both of us I just moved on. Maybe next time...

Beautiful View, disappointing Cache...Nevertheless TFTC

Tftc

Following on from finding The Bower, I headed south along the path towards this cache. I'd done a little research on this cache so had an idea of what to expect. There were a couple of people creeping around the bush near GZ and I half expected them to be geocachers looking for this cache, but after a moment I realised they were simply muggles scrambling up the rocks trying to find a better photographic vantage point!

The cache container was spotted some way off, talk about a message in a bottle! I wonder how long it will last before it gets accidentally mistaken for rubbish and removed? While difficult, I did manage to extract a portion of the log paper to sign. Quite scenic views from this part of the coast! TFTC ilikeprivacy!

Difficult find but if you think outside the box you can get the log out. TFTC

Came here many moons ago when we were tourists to Oz. Came back today with kids and no longer as tourists. Agree with other comments that current container is unsuitable. Just results in the logs getting torn trying to remove them. Thx for bringing us back here.

It is not food. Someone love it.

Greetings from South Korea.
감사합니다.

1Bus to Watsons Bay, boat to Manly and a quick walk round to the beach front. Weather went a bit dark so we decided to go for a few nearby caches. This was the nearest...

Overlooked the container twice in plain view as just litter!

Only realised it was the geo-cache as we were leaving GZ. Lid of the container is damaged (gnawed?) so the logbook is not protected from the elements. The container makes retrieval of the logbook more difficult than actually finding it!

Lovely location deserving of a more robust and appropriate geo-caching container.

Today it was another nice sunny day, and I decided to spend it in and around Manley. Took the ferry out together with what seemed like thousands of people, but unlike most (all?) of them my main goal was to find caches, not hang out at the beach, even if I did that too.

Another really nice view of the area! Some people were climbing down the rocks nearby, but I don't think they were cachers. An easy find, but quite difficult to get to the log-book.

Thanks for the cache! My 2123rd find!

Awesome area to sit on the rocks and watch out over manly. Was looking up and down for the cache and eventually found the interesting container

Another nice little walk and cache soon found by BB altho he said it wasn't a nice area lovely day to walk around Manly beaches tftc

Difficult to get to and plenty of rubbish around cache but found in the end ok!

Found it after a good look. The container is very disappointing. The cache definitely needs some maintenance. TFTC

So much rubbish in the bush here I didn't recognize the cache till I started to clean up the area - than what's this in the bottle?

Didn't bring a pen so took a picture instead.
