The Harmless Shark Parsley Bay, New South Wales, Australia
By The Artful Dodgers on 22-Feb-09. Waypoint GC1N0PA

This one keeps getting muggled and there is now an earth-cache nearby so its time to retire my first ever cache.

Anything happening?

Nope no luck for me either.

I will check and replace cache as it appears to have been muggled

Just adding my DNF as well. Had a quick look, but with the DNFs, wasn't that confident.

Will be back sometime, so will try again.

Thanks anyway.

Hm, second DNF for today. Sounded so easy and we read through all the logs and looked at the pics - but still nothing. Will watch this cache!

Searched without success. Will try again when next in the area.

We definitely found GZ, and Rock ledigeres, Even the spot were previous cachers took pics. No plastic container. If someone finds, please let us know, although if it was an easy find for so many, we would have found it.

This did not seem a very likely spot for a cache, but the GPS didn't lie. After spotting the container, we had to wait while an across the street neighbour made their way into their gate but we then retrieved the container, signed the log and had it back before anyone else came along. The rainy weather meant we parked very close to the GZ so didn't get too much wetter than we needed to. TNLNSL TFTC

TN left a coin

Out for a walk with meridith and stephen
They were intrigued!
Left a tb brought from uk looking to get to wellington!
A little closer to its goal

TFTC!

Nice little beach at the sunset

Another easy find tonight.

Found this one on my way to Watsons Bay. TFTC

Nice easy find on our stroll around on sunny Easter Monday. Dropped off travel bug. TFTC

Nice quick find while going for a walk with my partner Nir ('cold pizza'), my parents (dad is 'supersleuthdave') and Molly (the family pooch). Dad found and retrieved cache ...then we all signed log and replaced cache in it's hiding spot. Thanks for the shark facts ...very interesting! =) ...and of course, TFTC!!

Made the same initial mistake as many others but sorted that and then easily had cache in hand. Great spot!

A nice easy and quick find. TFTC.

Was pretty obvious where the cache had to be. I was lucky 'cause there were no sharks around. TFTC!

Strange place for a cache with this name

Easy hide but no TB, TNLN. TFTC

GPS took me to the National Park side, but knew it shouldn't be there. Whilst going to the cache, a car came down the lane and the driver stopped and gave me a long glance. Maybe it was the CO, maybe not. Came back 5 minutes later just in case, made the find, and then hightailed it out. Cheers.

This cache must be right on the border with the National park, had me scratching my head for a little while & then "bingo" that`s where it is, nicely placed away from the worst of the muggle traffic too. Wandered down to the beach after logging our find & had a swim which was so refreshing. Thanks for bringing us here.

Nice spot to bring the geokids, one of whom spotted it long before I would have O_o

Thanks.. was very easy found. J-LEST-TEAM

Our most Eastern cache. What a lovely park and beach. Tnln tftc.

fun find, good cache

Well hidden, the GPS went a bit haywire, so the last 20m was guesswork.

Great hiding spot! Took my boyfriend for the first time. Our 2nd cache of the day! TFTC

#9 out of 15 found today on my birthday caching extravaganza. This is my first caching outing while being a premium member and the Sydney to Hobart boat race was on today in this area so muggles were in hundreds.

Great spot! Really enjoyed the find. Went up above at first but then realised the cache was further down. Nice area. TFTC.

I came to town for a wedding and got to spare a few minutes geocaching with gazamataz. We caught a bus from Bondi Junction to nab a couple of choice caches and an earth cache.
I stumbled around for a bit looking in the wrong place as I always seem to do, before I regrouped and reconsidered.
I found a well hidden cache and left a dice and took a travel bug for a ride.
TFTC.

Found at 3.10pm GAFF1. Very informative information about the dangers of sharks. We have explained that to our overseas relatives on a few occasions, but they still won't go in the water when in Oz - they will eat you!
Thanks The Artful Dodgers.

Very quiet place . I dropped of TB Roadrunner. T4TC

#392 After finding the multi Forgotten Nuns, I went and found this cache. The different-colored rock actually gave away the hide. Haha... As I was signing the log, a couple walking their dogs decided to make a detour on this narrow lane. So I just continued on, and pretended that I was writing a journal. When they realized it was a dead end, they turned back. After they were gone, then I replaced the cache. Thanks for taking me here. The pool was packed! And people still kept arriving even though it was already 530pm. TFTC!

Found this one.
Greetings korpi

Started on the fire trail but soon saw the error in our ways
Took a little while for the GPS's to settle but the finally did as we finished signing the log and headed back to the car.

Don't know what the hide was like pre-NazzoR, but it's nicely camo'd now.

Walked down to GZ around noon today and found the cache after.........5 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could have been spotted by anyone walking or driving down the lane way so replaced the camo a bit better. TFTC, NazzoR

PS. Took 'Travelling Kiwis 2' TB. AND dropped off 'Four Corners Micro Geocoin'.

Our 5541st overall find.

A nice simple find after completing the nearby Earthcache.

Thanks The Artful Dodgers for the cache.

Found with Big Matt and Shell and The Rats during an early evening run around the eastern suburbs.

A quick find after completing the nearby earth cache.

TLLN and thanks to The Artful Dodgers for the cache.

Lots of muggles on this fine Saturday, but nobody took any notice of what we were doing.
Left TB Kiwis, took TB Turtle.

I was looking in the wrong place for a start. GPS settled after a while and took me to the correct spot which made it an easy find.

Quick find

Quick find with mike250. Tnln tftc

Easy find as we were walking past. Beautiful area. Had a look at Nielson bay after. TFTC

I was a bit worried about the neighbours but I was in and out quickly and none of them appeared.

Thanks.

Oops! Wrong path. Made the correction and within a minute had the cache in hand.
SL TFTC.

Quick. Annoying barking dogs. Bel & me!

Took a little longer to find than it should have, but fun nonetheless. TFTC.

I always enjoy caching in Sydney. TFTH.

Found it on a nice sunny sunday winter afternoon, TFTC

This was a quick and nice find today - great fun
It felt a bit like lurking around in the front yards of the residents and one of them was busy with his car, but he didn't notice me.
Thank you for this experience!

Nice easy find but got sprung by the owner of no 39 at the end of the cul de sac. He didn't invite us in for a cup of tea.

Nice walk tyo get to this cache across a very beautiful landscape. Many thanks !!

Found after a quick search.Many thanks for the discovery of the cache and greetings from France

Nice walk in the park - Managed to avoid sharks and muggles!!
TnLn, SL TfTc !!

Like others I wandered around in the park for a while. TFTC

This was find #4 for the day. What a beautiful neighborhood but it was a surprise to find where this cache was located.

Out of muggles path, Thanks for the info

Reperio at 1155. Went for a walk around the nearby trail and soon came across GZ. With all the wonderful bushland across the track, I was surprised where the cache was actually located...in full view of the adjacent houses. A nice area for a walk.

Gratias.

Great place, which we reached by Kayak, but search in all the possible places failed to find the cache.

Then Kayaked back to Rose Bay and saw departure of cruise liner Queen Elizabeth, so while no find to record - a great day in Sydney Harbour!

Geocaching by boat, today on Australia day - a traditional boating day. Savoy Truffle and The Arkaroo are underway in a red rubber duck, 19 kW. We have just finished the Earthcache nearby on a completely busy Shark Bay Beach.

Quick find of this one - passed in swimming cozzies only - thanks for the cache, mate

An early morning raid on this cache so as to avoid the muggles bit I still had to wait as it was garbage morning. I found the cache quite quickly and signed the log and replaced. Thanks for the adventure and your cache.

Report: Good work Dodgers. I was a little worried this was in the National Park but no, you are spot on, just outside the border. All things considered a good compromise hide. While GZ itself is not out of the ordinary, just 100m is the fantastic beach as mentioned so do make sure you walk up the path and have a look. Plenty of eye candy around too on this great spring day I also picked up the nearby Earth Cache and while I didnt have time for a swim, summer must nearly be here because many folk were splashing about in the water.

Well after dropping Code 1 and Discombob off I did a six point turn in a narrow street and headed off to find some parking, which was not going to be so doing laps I watched as both guys crossed the trail and headed up into the neither, but upon my return found them almost back where they were left with cache and log book. I reversed down to join them and a quick stop soon had cache back and us gone.
JABs.

The area didn't look or feel right so I checked the hint and went with an area that fitted it better a short distance away above where we started.
In the end we just trusted the GPSr and ended up back near where we got dropped of and made the find. A short delay from the muggle coming out their driveway and the cache was returned.

Never heard of some of those harmless Sharkes before.

TFTC

not quite where we thought the cache would be - no sharks in sight!

nice hide

Quick find while in area. Took TB

I had a really long walk today. I go for a walk form Bondi Beach to Watson´s Bay and back to Bondi. That was a walk from 24 km altogether.
This cache was my 6th today. There is a really fantastic view. Thank you for showing.

Great views and a well placed cache for the location too.Many thanks for the scenic location.

Nice Park TFTC

A nice walk around the point and a quick find on the way back to the car after a stop at the nearby kiosk.

As the Kiwi Explorer said - too cold for a swim this time of year, but worth the stop just the same.
Found it on the return to the car from completing the nearby Sydney Harbour Earthcache.
Thanks

Found this one quickly as the co-ords were spot on. Mrs KE still isn't convinced that a swim at Shark Bay would be a good idea - fortunately it was winter so we weren't tempted by the water today. TFTC. Picked up a coin here but it hasn't yet been dropped in by the owner.

Found it on a nice walk from Rose Bay to Watson Bay.

Took a coin and placed the Saarlandcoin 2008

I'll drop it now.

when is ledge a wall??? placed: TB1Z0XK in the cache

Dropped off TB, snagged geocoin for trip to America!

Called in to drop off BEDE #5 Canadian Forces GeoCoin to move on.

I enjoyed finding this one although I initially thought the cache was more in the reserve and a bit closer to the water. So many hiding spots at GZ. A quick search and cache was in hand. I moved away to find a seat to log the find and was visited by a very nosey crow and magpie. Both birds came withing reach, very tame. They were obviously looking for a food handout but I had nothing with me. Bad luck guys. The "Honeygum Yowie" trackable was not in the cache. Hopefully, it has been taken by a previous cache finder and not logged yet. Fingers crossed it hasn't gone missing. TN. Left a kaleidoscope viewer to add to the goodies. Thanks Artful Dodgers for an enjoyable cache in a lovely part of Sydney.

Nice day, nice place.. T4TC! In: ---, Out: GC-Skiing, GC-999

Visited this one with Rainbow_Underwear; another pretty spot near the harbour. No sharks, Jaws theme or blood on the water, sadly.

A quick easy find, in a quiet part of Vaucluse.
Thanks for the chance to come this way today.

Nice quick find on a very wet day. TFTC
