Unfortunately due to ill health this cache can no longer be maintained.

2 visits this morning to find this one even with a Phone a friend it would appear this one is gone.
O'well TFTC might be back one day.

It seems to have gone missing unfortunately. We will try to find a replacement first chance we get.

This was the only one of our Nescaslte trip we couldn't find, gave it a good look though

No joy this time...

Does this exist anymore???

muggles everywhere at 1am

tftc

As we arrived at GZ we sat and waited for a couple to move along , we waited so long that out parking ticket was going to expire. So with that we didn't even have a chance to try to locate the cache hence a note and not a DNF or even a find...We will return for this one another time

Wow at last we found it... Wrong bench... It always helps to bring Mrs Madstars to find them. lol

Thanks for a great LITTLE cache. Where prepared to replace the log but found a shiny new one all ready to go.

Thanks for the hunt... Great fun had by all.

MADSTARS

Put in a new log sheet when we eventually found the cache today. It's amazing how caches move!

We are unable to get to this cache for a couple of days. If you are planning to visit could you assist please. We need a new log - a strip of paper about 30cm long by about 7-10mm (scissors could come in handy).
Apologies to anyone who finds it before we can get there.
GeoPilots

Found this one but the log is full. Great spot though. Not too Busy today

WOW...I have no idea how you could possibly make this find during the afternoon. There are a ton of muggles about!
Made this find (luckily) early Sunday morning before anyone was out and about. Good thing as when I walked back through here in the afternoon the placed was jam-packed.

Had an initial idea where the cache might be as I approached but quickly moved to more suitable location and made the find.

Thanks for the cache from West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA.

Finally managed to get this one with the help of some little cachers!! Thanks guys

A busy day in the area, tried our best but no find will have to try again.

We came back today for the 5th time and had a look using more accurate corrdinates thanks to SUBYDAYZ. We finally found the little bugger with ease as the gps had us at the right seat this time. This is probably the most difficult and well blended in with the environment cache that we have seen so far. TFTC

This is the 3rd time i have attempted this cache and still unsuccesful. We must of looked silly after about 10 minutes after we had completly looked the table over. The cache was nowhere to be found.

We found the perfect day to geocache in the heart of Newcastle - xmas day, in the rain! Hardly a muggle in site. Had a great day, now we head back to Port Stephens to mop up the few remaining caches.

This is a really lovely looking cache! TFTC!

So excited to find this one, especially after reading all the did not find logs! Nice hiding spot and clever cache Thank you!

Tough find. Fairly muggle free today.Good hide, but be careful or all might be lost . Signed the log.TFTH

On a wet and windy day no-one except us was silly enought to sit outside. With coffee and a drink as props we explored and soon found the little camouflaged cache. TNLN of course, but we enjoyed the hunt.

Soon had this one between morning ferries. Sometimes having a rest helps.
JABs.

The best part of this find was that I got to have a lay down for a while. Almost went to sleep in the nice morning sun but there was a pie across the road with my name on it......... YUM

TFTC

We did two drive bys today in the wet.... bloody muggles.... They just wouldnt go home...

So we drove on...

We will get this cache if it is the last cache we get.

Thanks for the fun.

Hard to find but easy to loose.
Took nearly as long to replace the log.
Was rewarded with finding $2 between the decking.

We thought we would try to get this one while it was wet hoping the muggle count would be lower. The plan worked well with there being very few people about although the wet did make it harder to spot the cache. However after a few minutes of surreptitious hunting the Geo-wife got the find. Impressive little cache. We filled out the log while watching the tugs we saw escorting a ship out of the harbor at Holey Rock tow another ship in. We replaced the cache and ran to stockton to hit another spot that is normally muggle central. A great cache thanks. [Cache 71]

Found this one with the wobbly geokids and geodog.Nice little hide not to many muggles about today.TFTC

Well if it wasn't for a find yesterday I would have concluded that the cache wasn't here. Four of us searched without success.

Despite a pretty thorough search by the team (with muggles in high numbers nearby) we called it quits. No sense spoiling a good hide if it is a give-away for later ransacking.

204. No luck today and after a good search while trying to look inconspicuous this one eluded the quality caching team McWinTrexON

YAHOO!!! We found it this time. We had a rather unsuccessful caching day today, but the highlight was revisiting this cache and actually being able to find it. There were some muggles sitting on the seat near GZ when we arrived, but we didn't have to wait long before they moved on. We had a bit of a look around and then BINGO I spotted it! TNLNSL TFTC

I dropped my watch, then my wallet and then my bag....But it started to look weird...

I will have to come back and try again early in the morning... 12 mid day is impossible...

Thanks

Madstars

Found it without muggels.

For a change, I went straight to it....too easy.
Lots of people around, but no-one paying attention.

I finally found this one, after several hurried searches while waiting for the large crowds at the wharf today (which was an absolutely beautiful day) to look the other way.

It was a great Sunday afternoon but there were heaps of people around, we found it pretty easily, Mathgen who we met at Fort Scratchley just bet us to this one.

Moneydork did a great job of finding and logging this one whilst I played the photographer decoy to try and distract the fishermen out early on a Sunday morning. Cheers Gav [3998]

A clever little hide. TFTC

Nice little & a great spot. TFTC

GZ was clear of muggles so I sat, ate lunch and found the cache.

Thanks.

Checked the cache and put in a new log sheet as the old one was virtually full.

This was one of those caches you see as you walk towards it. And at about 8.00 at night, thee was no-one around, so a quick find was made.

As usual, it took longer to roll the log up then to sign the thing........

Thanks for the cache.......

I love this part of town, great views and always alive. Sol de Lune and I come through here about 8 ish and we spotted a fair few people in the area on the approach and were not sure if we would be able to make the find. As luck would have it it was in plain view. Amazing how many people don't spot this one.

Thanks GeoPilots and The Woody Five for the cache.

Turned up to this cache on a Sunday.. muggles everywhere. First we sat at the chairs and tables near the ferry wharf waiting area, we poked around under the seats scratching our heads... we then noticed another seat close by. found cache pulled log out and dropped it on the wharf planks coming very close to rolling between the cracks and in to the water below. saved the cache signed tiny scroll log and replaced it. TFTC

Ah!

This one gave me so much trouble.

Finally found it.

I tried to find this one yesterday, but a fishermuggle had his gear set up less than one metre from ground zero. Last time I was here I had just finished the Harbour Swim.

This morning: out early (7.15am), coffee (flat white), no muggles (despite beautiful morning), cache (in hand).

T4TC.

Nice little find

I got to gz and the area was relatively muggle free, so I thought I was onto a winner here, but after scanning, probing and searching for 30 mins, I gave up. Maybe next time.....

This is a difficult find due to the muggle activity at the site during the day. Would be very easy without any muggles. Did not sign log.TFTC.

We tried really, really hard to find this one. There were plenty of muggles eating in the nearby establishments but not close to GZ. We really weren't sure what type of cache we were looking for - is it magnetic? We tried all sorts of strategies to not look obvious - taking photos, tying up shoelaces, lying in the sun.....but no luck.

nice and easy.

thanks

15:49 This could have taken an awfully long time to find, but lucky for me it didn't. A very blustery afternoon, and only a few muggles to watch for. Great spot to take in the harbour views. Thanks for the cache. I averaged the location to be: S32 55.527 E151 46.855 (about 3-4m from listed co-ords.)

This was a pleasant spot to be.
Had to watch out for the muggles, but they didn't noticed.
Also spotted a few pelican's and coming from Holland that's not very usual.
The Webees thank you for a good cache.

Logged 2.45 PM

Well the GPS'r had me sitting all over the place while only a few muggles were in sight. Luckily too engrossed to see me hopping from seat to seat. Nice little hide and thanks for the hunt.

Found at 1050hrs

Tried this one last night, dark and raining so muggle factor zero, but was unable to locate it. I was going to try again on my next trip, after sending the owner a message ( thanks for the prompt reply )

But had time before heading back to Port Macquarie, I am always better on the second go, but I just about to give up on this one, and "Gee that looks a bit odd" One of the best uses of urban camouflage caches I have found. Really enjoyed finding it.

SL & TFTH

we would like to claim the FTF
nice and quiet at 6:30am


despite a high muggle this little one I think is a stayer

Dropped by to show the cache off to the grandchildren.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 32° 55.527 E 151° 46.866
Distance From Old: 62.4 feet
A new cache has been placed. Hopefully it will last longer this time without being muggled.

A new container in a better (we hope) spot.

It's gone before it was found!
What a disappointment.
It will be back soon - but it looks like a better hidey hole and/or better camo is required.

First to not find



Nice location
The clue fitted well
But no cache


Before destroying the black end caps
Would a clue be possible



Fattyacid

Tried with a friend helping.
Did not find.
