Bouy oh Bouy Hawks Nest, New South Wales, Australia
By MADSTARS on 06-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1TB0R

Unfortunately I am unable to replace this cache.

Somebody else can have the pleasure of this hide. You might be able to put it in one of the buoys out front of the house.

By the sounds of it, the owner likes to have a chat to cachers.

Looked for this with the family while kicking off the New Year with a geocaching run up to Hawks Nest. A great way to start the New Year. This one is gone. The hide is still there but the cache is gone. Wasn't possible to replace it. Thanks Madstars

Again like others, found the tree etc..and as culture 50 has done, will claim it as a find until you disable it. Clearly needs maintenance . Like the spot. Have never noticed it before despite coming up past here every Xmas!

Like other cachers I found the tree, the bark, but no cache -so unless it is disabled I claim it as found.

so very damaged:-(

empty m and M container no log inside.

Hi Madstars we searched the area and found the logs in the garden but no container if you want the logs back e-mail us your address.

Container missing.. The owner of the house with the buoys came over to show us where it was located but cache has been removed...

No mistaking why the cache was so named. Made for an interesting photo. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great cache. Had previously driven past this location so knew where abouts it would be.

TFTC TAKEN BIG FISH CACHER 2 WILL MOVE ON

Dropped a travel bug

Strange sight! A quick find on our way through. TFTC

Very Interesting sight. Brought some new people to the game with me, they enjoyed it. We gave it two shots because we got lazy first time round cause everyone was hungry and the GeoKiddy was getting restless.

TFTC

Took us a while to register that GZ was actually a little distance away. But then an easy find. TFTC

WOW - what a sight. Reminds me of the Booty Tree cache in Clermont Queensland - try that one if you are ever there. Thanks for the experience and the cache.

When we spotted the location we thought it would be on private property, but the GPS said otherwise and the cache was soon to hand. Enjoyed the view - thanks.

How many bouy's are there?? Don't know but there was 1 cache nearby. SL TFTC.

Low and behold no sooner had we arrived at GZ did the owner of the bouys come driving past. "you Geocaching?" was his cry!! We quickly signed the cache and was taken for a personal tour of his yard. He tells us that anyone is welcome to investigate his interesting yard. TFTC. What an adventure!

Not sure how you came up with the name MADSTARS , Neat location not sure what the purpose of all the gear is but it makes for an impressive sight. The cache was found quickly and the log was full so we left a replacement before heading off for lunch. TFTC MADSTARS. [998]

A big thanks goes out to Subi-Two for the maintenance of this cache.

May the Caching Gods give you another quick 1000 finds.

Cheers Mate and congrats on the 1000 finds...

Is this guy a swimming instructor or a fisher person. OCD perhaps? Is this art? Pics attached. Clear skies and TFTC.

found after poor result fishhing.

We were concerned that the cache might have been located at a private residence but after the GPSr settled we were relieved to find that was not the case. Amazing location, we had to get a few pics of it. TFTC

Found it No. 3441 ... quick find with no one at the premises ... TNLN ... TFTC

Needs maintenance - log sheet has been wet and is in poor condition

12:45 - wet, but very successful day so far

Actually found this one several days earlier. But without a pen was unable to sign the log. Dammit! Returned here today with Takka03 and several newcomers to the sport, D&M's, who had great fun locating the stash. Also bumped into the girlfriend of the Bouy house owner who walked past and overheard us reviewing the cache notes. It appears they're aware of the cache's existence!

Tftf. Tnln..

My log for thisone seems to have not gone through.
I was up here for australia day weekend,and took advantage ofthis to find this cache. although lots of toruiest and walkeers in town made it hard to get a cahnce to grab the cache.
felt a little develish hunting in this area as the lands were in use by the congregation.
tFTC!

wow what a collection, we pulled up right next to gz and found cache easily, thanks madstars

We found it on the Bob's Birthday Ballistic Blitz, couldn't miss it. Bouys Ahoy matie! All shipshape in Bouys World. TFTC SL

Wow.. What load of old..... Whatever floats your boat I suppose .. Haha.. TFTC

What a collection of buoys. We got to GZ just as Mass was finishing. Made a quick find undetected. The cache was pretty exposed, tried to recover it better. TFTC

Our third cache. Great fun to do with the kids. TFTC. ROWELL+MUM.

did not take long to find

Nice spot!

what a quirky land mark!!!! found on a family drive great fish and chips around the corner!!!!!

TFTC A great spot at Tea gardens lovely area enjoyed the hunt .

Loved the house. Knew we were in the right street when we came around the corner! TN. SL. TFTC.

Unusual decorations I'm sort of glad my wife didn't think of it. TFTC

At The Rock with my school on camp. Came down here to go dolpin watching and found this - bouy oh bouy. This guy will be right when global warming kicks in, his whole block of land will just stay afloat. Thanks for the hunt.

3rd for the day. Amazing place.

Had to avoid some religious muggles while we marvelled at all of the buoys...TFTC

Wow, what a sight this house was! While we were searching for the cache, the owner of the house Ben came over for a chat. He was quite impressed that his home was "on the net". We asked what the "pride and joy" of his collection of bouys was and he showed us, but it remains a secret! Look forward to a cuppa Ben on our next pass by, gosh it's great to meet good people. cheers from Mark and Debbie.

2nd find for the day. TFTC TNLN

Our 4th find. Right near our house. Knew from the clue without co-ord...well known house in town!

Bonjour from French Canadians,

Another nice Madstars's cache. It's a great way for us to discover Port Stephens.

TFTC, TNLN, SL

Well all I can say is that is one fine collection of Buoy's.
Ya think he might be a fisherman?

Parked next to the cache for an easy find.

TFTC

Wow what a collection

I have been past this place a long time ago but had forgotten about it tftc

My geohusband found it before me because my gps was playing up. Wow what a place!
Thanks MADSTARS for the cache.

Great place!!!

Oh BOY !!! TFTY

This was an easy find but if you do not time it right it might be quite difficult. tftc

TFTC. A great little house in a place with the most thought evocative name! It was deserted when I visited so a simple cache to find.

Visiting family. What a collection! TFTC

There is certainly no missing this place! As many have said "Boy oh Boy"! At first we tried looking a little bit too close to the boys - but then we trusted the GPS and searched further away. It then wasn't long before we located the cache. TNLNSL TFTC

Boy Oh Boy
What Boy???

Boy oh boy
What a spot!

good drive bye cache

bouy oh bouy is right and the sprinklers weren't on. thanks.

Our first geocache! Great spot love the house!

Found on way to watch the Formula Windsurfing champs, but just got rain instead.

Aussie day trip to tea gardens

Work in progress. Difficulty factor gets a bit harder when there's choir practice going on nearby. I'll be back.

Cache not in place as described in description, but found nevertheless.
Replaced as per hint instructions.
TNLNSL TFTC

10am. Sprinklers were on and so search was hampered.
Hint did not help us find it but we cooled off in the spray.
Thanks for bringing us here. Will be back.

We found this cache in the company of three long time friends for whom this cache was their introduction to geocaching. We were staying the other side of the port and took the ferry to Tea Gardens for an enjoyable day out.
We would never have seen the street art except for the cache. Thanks for an enjoyable and interesting detour.
TB Saskia the Maid wanted to stay near the buoys but had a slight obesity problem and couldn't fit in the cache so she continued her travels with us.
TNLN TFTC

Found with Daniel 2:22. Quick and enjoyable. Thanks!

Found after a short search, but WOW, what a collection! Not something i'd personally ever do, but i can appreciate the effort that they put in. TFTC

Nice spot

Found it, was visible and easy, but not where the coordinates were pointing. Tried to make it bit less noticeble.

[Found this cache even though the GPS was directing us away from where we actually found it.

Got absolutely ravaged by mosquitos. Not surprising though, it had been raining for a few days.

This cache wasnt covered at all and I dont even think it was hidden where it was supposed to be according to the difficulty or the hints. This definately wasnt a 2+ star difficulty.

Covered the cache slightly to make it less visible to the muggles.

For any future seekers of this cache who are looking at the hints -] dont look at the fork look at the base.

Yes, quite a collection indeed. A quick find and signed to get back on the road again with the Silver Bullet. Cheers MADSTARS.

Bouy's gallore alright. Found cache with Tamykian.

Bouy I have never seen so many bouys in one location...What a picture, well I would have taken one if I had my camera. located the cache SL and moving on....cheers Tamykian

i can see the reason behind the name

we were looking for this one and found PPRASS first

said hello
exchanged geostories

and then headed off the next cache with PPRASS


fattyacid and family

Found at 4.25pm GAFF!. We had a bit of problem with this one at first, as our GPS was telling us to dig up the ashphalt in the middle of the carpark to find the cache. So we widened our search and we found the cache a mere twelve metres away. While replacing the cache we heard an excited group of kids rummaging around the bushes, which turned out to be the fattyacid team. We had a good chat and learned abut each others experiences and then decided to continue to do the next two caches together.
The buoys at the corner house are an interestin collection, wonder if they were all washed or otherwise obtained.
Thanks MADSTARS.

Hehe! like this one, we were trying to guess what the name meant, then we turned the corner! The camo had come a little unstuck, signed log and reinstated the camo, one last laugh at the decorated house and off we went.
TFTC

Mad bulldog & Pup found & boy what a lot of Boy's .
TNLN

With the rest of the family getting ready for bed I decided to head out and grab the rest of the caches in the area. This cache was first for the night, we had actually spotted it the day before but we were looking to suspicious to some local muggles so decided to leave and return later, making it an easy find tonight.

Thanks Madstars.

GPSr kept pointing me to the middle of the car park looked in the garden a little bit but gave up pretty quickly i will come back another time and try again

THE CACHE FLY

Quick find near an amazing place.
TFTC

Found at 1050hrs

Bouy there are lots of them nearby. An easy find on my trip down to Port Stephens.

We didn't put in a lot of effort, however it looked like a lot of the trees had a recent cut back.

Bouy o bouy indeed.When I first read this cache name I expected to turn up near the waterfront.What a strange surprise.TFTC Madstars.

There are a few!!!

lots

This cache took a bit of finding.

2521.

You are right, the location kind of speaks for itself! A nice quick find.

Thanks MADSTARS for the cache and our fifth *FTF* for the day.
