Thanks for playing.

We arrived at GZ with Aries44duo, who had found it last and he confirms that the cache has definitely been muggled.
It's sad because this is at such a lovely location.
This needs CO action.

2nd time unlucky over 12 months later. Not having a good strike rate with hoojar caches

Thanks to the CO for helping with WP1 as it was difficult to see due to the numbers fading quite a lot. I know I got the right co-ordinates based on a previous photo and spent ages all around GZ for no return. Based on Aries44 log it might have gone missing based on the fact it was found in the open or I am terrible at finding it.

Visiting family in the area today with Mrs Aries we decided to use a hint I got a while ago for this cache. With the grandson in the pram we were able to neatly get the information.
On the way homeward we went to the coords and were rewarded with a find. A great location. We paused to take in the view and sign the log. Unfortunately the container was found in the open but with the log, pen and ziploc still intact. I managed to re-hide the cache in a better position but at the same location of course. TFTC Hoojar.

While taking youngest Grandson for a walk Aries44 & my self found the needed info for this cache. On way home we found the cache & signed the log. Lovely view. TFTC Hoojar,Chip & Ding

Dropped in for the search with seaker200 today,with 2 pairs of eyes we soon had the numbers needed,then off to make find,was a really enjoyable walk to GZ on such a beautiful day,
Thanks Hoojar,Chip & Ding for the cache

This was a fun multi with Bonfire7. clever hints and nice find. TFTC

I needed a multi cache for my streak/challenge for today. This one looked interesting and not too far from home.
WP1 was a little confusing, and I had my hands feeling everywhere, after 30min it was time to use eyes over hands, and I had the Coords to GZ...
GZ was very quick and easy which is nice, as I could then kick back and enjoy the views... just a little too windy to make it gorgeous...
Cheers
Seemyshell

this is my first multi. I have had premium for a while but never did a multi of mystery so this was very fun. Did not know what to do at WP1 so left and came back later with some help from Bonfire7 and his friend who recently did this cache. At WP2 the sun was setting and It was so beautiful. Found WP2 very easily but still super fun.

We've driven past here so many times but never stopped to do this cache before. Nice hide & views. TFTC Hoojar

Not the nicest day to appreciate the view from GZ but at least the rain and early morning run on a Sunday kept muggles to a minimum around WP1 though it took a little longer than it should to locate clue due to some misleading PAF advice. Maybe they relied on google maps which still show the area as a hole in the ground construction zone.

Backlogging caches with Muppet95,

Trouble at WP1.
Views at WP2.

Thanks for the caches!

Starting the next milestone with a multi.

Need to enjoy multi's more!!!

Took me a paf to get wp1,
wp2 was easier

Thanks for the lovely views on this sunny day

Just like a library experience. I look where the catalogue indicates a book to be and then cant find it there. I had to ask a librarian's assistance just to have it pointed out to be right NEXT TO where I looked.
The trip out to gz seemed a bit too familiar as I had been there a few times already, working on other caches.
Some of the houses there are really old, but what a view!
Thanks for the cache.

The only cache I found today on a trip up to Sea Cliff Bridge and Bald Hill with my daughter. Lunch at The Palms at Stanwell Park was fantastic!

TFTC Hoojar! Isn't that timber home near GZ amazing!

Put in more effort than we needed to! TFTC

Found WP1 and went to WP2 but didn't find it. Grass was very overgrown near the edge but still had a good look.

Last day of Baja15 holidays and came this way with our geohounds, after contacting CO replaced the cache, so it's all good to go. Not too many people out yet, but I'm sure it will be very busy, the days starting to warm up. Thanks Hoojar

I put in more work on this one than I needed to. Found with J+J.au. We eventually got this one together and should be all good for future searchers. SL..TFTC

Thanks to J&J and Baja for replacing the final WP.

Baja15 and I were caching out this way and unfortunately we didn't gain a smiley today, we managed to Find WP1, however at GZ we weren't so lucky. We than PAF to confirm the location we searched, we should have had a find. Maybe the CO could do a cache check on this one. Cheers

No joy today for paulyman and I at WP2.

Looks like this one is turning Into a problem cache for me. Found wp1 after I found out work was cancelled for the day due to rain. Got to where I believe wp2 was but found nothing. Maybe a check of this waypoint is required to after such a long time between finds

I have refreshed WP1, all should be in order again.

Had a few good looks for wp1 lately . Went with a previous finder who couldn't remember where to find them but also couldn't find it . Hasn't been found in quite a whole. Any chance of a check??

did not find it . we will be back.

My mind was just drawing blanks this afternoon. Another multi, another dnf. This time though i must have overthinked it at wp1. It has to be easy! Will gather a brains trust for next time

good one.

this was a good one, my first waypoint

found out about this cashe from my mum who one day was helping this old lady look for it, so one day agent orange and myself go looking. Waypoint 1 was easy to find so we grabbed my mum who was working a couple of shops away and showed her where to look. After that we continued on to the finish line where I agent black cobra beat agent orange in locating the treasure!

We had gotten the required WP quite a while ago while we were wating for a train @ Thirroul Station.

So today Cheeky Dave was on an RDO from work and thought he'd finially finish this off

So i arrived nearby and made my way to GZ, a beautiful morning to go caching, not many muggles out walking so I had GZ to myself... I looked in a few spots, no luck.
Read the hint & discription one more time and it made sence!
Bingo, I sat down on the seat and did the log thing, a bit of water inside and a damp log, but I really didnt mind sitting here drying this out, after all - WHAT A VIEW!!!
TFTC

found the first one where I expected it to be, not so with the second find, I did eventually find it though.

Found the coordinates without too much trouble a while ago but we bombed out at GZ. Headed back today for another go and this time a speedy find! Gorgeous views!! TNLN SL TFTC

Good teamwork and we had WP1 quickly. Sometimes you wonder though what bystanders think of geocachers at work... GZ is such a beautiful spot! Nice hide With M&M007 and SLKH

Great cache. Found it with M&M007 and Momoo14

Found wp1 easy with cameras all around.Wp2 had a fantastic view.TFTC

Wasn't sure of finding this one after all the DNFs. Had a quick look then took a lunch break while waiting for a muggle and dog to move on. We highly recommend the Library Cafe where we enjoyed our lunch and sat and thought about the WP hide. We began our search again and found it straight away, right where we thought it would be. Enjoyed the final hide, nice spot. TFTC.

WP1 gave much more trouble than GZ, but eventually the cache was in hand. The co-ords for both WP's are spot on. TFTC.

We were initially over thinking WP1 until after we had lunch at the library cafe, and suddenly we knew what we should look. GZ was a little over grown, but took way less time than WP1. Visitors should pop into the library cafe to see the coffee artist who can paint faces in your flat white. TFTC!

Poo. Thanks for the chance anyway.

504. Argh. Four of us and no luck. We spent ages trying to see where our GPii settled but searched everything anyway (except for where the info was hiding of course )

Well, we (all 4 us) gave WP1 a good go, but having looked for a good 15 minutes, we came up empty handed. I'm sure it's in an obvious spot, but it was not our day to find it.

Thnaks anyway Hoojar, no doubt we'll be back one day...

No luck for me here either although rain stopped me looking too long at WP1.

Easy multi to do, dammit, back the way we just came from, oh well, car was pointing in that direction anyways.

Great views, would hate to live in that house, everyone walking through ya "backyard" like that.

Dropped a coin.

Cheers

Part of team Canary's caching run with Rainbow Spirit.

A Phone-A-Friend reminded us not to trust a nine year old's look!?!

Then a short drive to GZ for an easy find.

TNLNSL. TFTC.

Once again I swear we looked there before, yet it took a return visit with some paf help to show us where wpt1 was!
At GZ I got the short straw so as to speak, to go near the drop for the grab, ha!, I love heights....thanks Hoojar, another DNF off my list.

After picking up lunch, we headed to the library to make our last find of the day. Found the co-ords relatively quickly, and on our way to the GZ it started to rain quite heavily. Made a quick dash after parking the car and found the cache relatively quickly. Despite this however, we receieved quite the drenching. Great views. TFTC

Found without trouble with little red and princess. Had some fun kiddie wrangling at GZ, but once the rule 'Stay behind the fence was established, understood and accepted the cache was in hand. Found a plastic money box near the hide that will be reborn shortly

No sign of TB

SL TNLN TFTC

Couldn't find the coords at wpt1...sigh...

After several DNFs for this one, walking towards WP1 it suddenly dawned on me where the necessary information must be. It was, so on to GZ. Found it OK but then realised, no *#@*&^! pen! I really must get better organised. Thanks for what turned out to be (for me, at least) a challenging cache.

10am. HedleyLamarr and wife could not find this so they called in the expert - me - as I have well over 250 Caches (266 actually).
Guess what...it did not make any difference.
With rain and some muggles...but will return. Logs indicate that this is a "oh how could I have missed it before" cache.
TFT hunt

Couldn't find it even with professional help.

After numerous attempts finally found at the Thirroul Library and then at one of the best view points on the coast. Took Travel Bug W0MXW4 and will place on north coast. Great location Wima Li

Thanks to Redbackspider for confirming that this cache is still there

652 - 5 for today. Found on 16/05/10 1:59 PM
All is OK with this cache. WP1 easily found, no muggles around on a Sunday. The final location for the cache was easily found, coords are spot on. Travel Bugs are still there. TNSLLN

I believe this cache has been muggled.

Have tried three times to find this cache but no luck. It could have been muggled.

No joy. Must try harder!

Muggles galore at WP1, but that was not a deterent and the required information was quickly collected. Then off to GZ, where finding somewhere to park was the toughest task. A fabulous view briefly sidetracked me from the mission at hand, but then remembering the reason i was there, I soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache Hoojar, Chip and Ding

Rated: for Overall Experience

No muggles at WP1 or GZ today in the wet. Nice quick find and a great walk. Swapped Travellers TFTC

Didn't have to much trouble at WP1 despite the time of day! From others logs I expected GZ in a total different place? Enjoyed the spectacular views and left quit quick because it was hot at GZ!

Found with Quin4 while out for a morning run, Had looked right there before and not seen it, but did today, Took TB

Found on 3rd go with rtec+ during our morning run and swim.

Foun this one today after two new ones up north.

Found WP1 a few weeks ago but was only able to attend gz today with a quick easy find.

There was no traveler in the cache when we were there but we did drop 4 into it to get get them on their way again.

TFTC

Found the co ords at Wp1 but then couldn't find the cache. Got spiked with numerous needles from the trees.

A great spot for a cache, not being a local not too sure on relevance to the new library.
Anyways, couldn't find it in the dark, had a muggle coming and going 50m away also.
Things were pretty disturbed at gz, and din't want to go too far past the rope in the dark! A long way down me thinks!!!
Next time we are up that way from SA I guess...

Took a little bit to find WP1. I had just updated the firmware in the GPS. Turned it off and back on again and then no problems. Co ords spot on. Took some time out and went for a look in and around the new complex. Very smart and inviting. Then off to claim the cache. At GZ I sat back and enjoyed what God has given us. Great spot and a neat hide. TFTC SL TNLN

Found this cache during my Australian caching holidays. TFTC and cheers from Germany,

We decide to go up North caching for the day. Once we arrived at waypoint 1 we had a quick poke around and came up with GZ. Lucky for us there weren’t too many muggles around today.

Once at GZ we started to wish we had brought our swimmers, the water was looking pretty good today with the sun blaring down. After a short search the cache was in hand.

Thanks Hoojar, Chip & Ding for the hunt.

Took a while to find the co-ords but they were where I expected just didn't look hard enough in the rain.
Then put the wrong co-ords in the gizmo and trugged around up in the bush getting covered in leeches.
Checked co-ords silly me then headed off in the write direction and found the cache right where it was supposed to be.
Took TB but it was not the one logged as being there.
Bit of a mix up by the dropper but he has been informed so all should be good.
What a mixed up afternoon.
P.S. Leeches don't like salt water and it stops the itch too.

I had to come up north for work so I thought I'd extend the journey a little more and grab this cache. WP1 was a hive of activity and with some muggles sitting right near the posted coords i thought I'd have to walk away, but alas a good cacher always finds away.
Off to GZ and wht a day to be taking in this vista. The beaches were full of bathers and the swell was up a bit so there was plenty gromets out surfing.
TNLn Thanks guys.

great spot and a good walk their.
DROPED OFF SHIP MATE GINGER.

i beat you tom lambert to find it
thank you so much for hiding it

Came under the cover of darkness but that nealy brought me undone. At WP1 nearly got busted by a romatic couple coming around the corner just after retrieving the coords. Nearly. Then at GZ all good using my torch when a group of 10 or so came out of the darkness to stop 10m away on thr park bench. Layed flat in the grass to complete the log and quickly got away from there. Got back to the car only to discover I had dropped my phone in the long grass. SO had to do it all again with people not far from me. At least I could use the excuse of looking for my phone I had dropped earlier! Thanks Hoorjar, Chip and Ding

TB drop

and this one

Published

We were out this way recently I saw this spot and thought 'there is a cache waiting to happen there'. And so it was [^].

What was sheer good luck was that I was due out at Austinmer at 7pm tonight- I would rarely be out this way so luck was on my side. Also I happened to check the internet after work and everything fell into place.

WP1 was pretty straightforward then off to GZ- this was even on the way! A beautiful spot- would love to live right at GZ. Thankfully the muggle factor was nil and after a quick search the cache was in hand. Grabbed the coin. Thanks for a nice little multi in a great part of the world!

Oh, and another FTF! Yay!
