Good weather in the morning, enjoy drive on the way to home from Basin View.. Easy to find [:o] archive but cache still there as hide very well thanks
Decided not to look for GC micros so only appropriate that I archive any that I have hidden. Cache still in place as I can never find the damn thing.
Found this one with deputy Dog and haven't logged.
I remember this day as being a great caching day.
Thanks for the cache and showing us the art.

These laser sculptures are amazing. Good little rest area . TFTC log is little tattered
Sneakly hidden, not much of a garden to worry about entering as it is made hardy grasses. TFTC.
I had a shot at this cache back in October, 2010 but was unsuccessful. Today was a different story, the listed coordinates are spot on and cache located in short order. Log signed and all replaced.

Enjoyed a holiday in the Berry hinterland and relished early morning coffee in one of the many cafes. Picked up the cache in the interesting park before the crowds got up. TFTC
Found quickly.
Just lucky as the clue is a red herring.
No such shape anywhere near the cache.

Wasnt paying attention and drove strait past the Berry Nice Bridge...hub didn't want to go back Made sure I didnt miss this one! Had to wait for some muggles to leave but then had it in hand not long after TFTC!
Yay! Took a little bit, but after camouflaging myself by making a fellow cachet listen to me on the phone babbling rubbish to look innocent and finally unearthed the little one.... TF a hard/fun 1

After reading the hint we thought we were looking for a triangle shaped container. Soon realised that that was not the case.. however, the cache can't be reached from the pebble path, you do need to step into the other rocks.
Log is a little damp. SL. TFTC!

Thought that I could have a problem with this but got it in less than a minute. Spent the extra time doing a bit of CITO. TFTC
tftc sl 2nd time looking for this one found it this time in about 5mins the 1st time i looked the gps was puting me about 15m north of gz this time it was with in 5m for gz
Found very quickly in a matter of seconds, which was surprising because this seems to have given a lot of people grief. Luck was on our side today. TFTC
Third time lucky? In the past we have stopped on a way north but not had kind weather. Sunshine and a co-ordinated approach soon had the hide this time. SL TFTC
With an accuracy of 5m we had to search a little for this one. Reading the logs and the tricky play on words in a couple of entries, we were able to quickly narrow down the search area and came up trumps.
Quick easy find on a wet afternoon. Love the sculptures and history. Great hide. SL TFTC
took a little while, it was where the clue and the gps said, on a corner.

I did some weeding of the spreading weeds in the area because they were suffocating the actual plants that have been planted there and were visibly suffering from the weeds presence.
I didnt find the cache in all the weeding and the moving of things
I did find something that looks like it did have glue on it at some point
I put the offending article near the statue (for want of a better word) on a couple of other rocks
can the owner or someone else who knows what this cache looks like drop by and let me know if it was the cache or if i need to search some more
cheers

Looked and Looked, the photo hint made sense, but couldn't find... Not sure if all the rain has caused the weeds to grow and make this harder.

Looked and looked but did not find. After reading other logs, realised I have wrong co-ordinates. Will definately try again with new ones in GPS.
I decided think out side the *square* and think Triangle! ... there was so many triangular things i could see after setting my mind to it... but everywhere i tried didnt come up with anything.. was too hot to look for too long, then a truckie came along! SO...I bailed, probly check it out again next time i'm up this way!
Capellaman- After a bit of a search and thinking the brothers might be minding it, one more scan away from the Brothers, had it cornered. so to speak. T F T C.
(Rated 3 stars with [url=http://www.gcvote.com]GCVote[/url]) This was an excellent micro-cache which we found quickly, due to Mrs Jaybeem!'s quick eye and firm belief in the mystical power of the HTC Desire. This was lucky as it was in a crafty ground level hide.
The GPS was extremely accurate. Got it down to 0 metres. Always wanted to stop here. Thanks for another great time killer Tuena!
I had always thought there should be a cache here, and now there is. I'm not sure if it is accessible from the path for younger people though.....
any way, thanks for the nifty hide

There was a muggle parked nearby when Otiose and I arrived at this one but, he soon moved on and we were free to hunt... [^]
A quick scratch around and the cache was revealed, all safe and well...

Need better hint. Searched through rocks for an hour. Probably should of brought a real gps not an iPhone.
Wandered and wandered around and around.... Trinangular...... nope couldnt find it. Went south a bit, still nothing. Oh well.
** Coordinates Changed From **
S 34° 46.257 E 150° 42.427
Distance From Old: 31.6 feet or 9.6 meters.
I have hidden a replacement cache slightly to the south & changed the hint. Averaged co-ords over 10 minutes so should be reasonably accurate.

Got some advice at the event but still unable to find this one !!!!!!!!! 5 sets of eyes this time.
O well maybe another day

Time to see if I can find it! Had a look in the place I hid it but not there. Will rehide nearby.

Well, should have read all the find notes I think before we started looking for this very sneeky hide.
Anyway, we didn't find the difference or the the spot. So maybe better luck next time we pass by here.

This was our 4040th overall find.
Found at about 6:28 PM. An evil, evil hide but a logical approach to this one turned up a cache.
Thanks to Tuena for the cache.

Nowra Invasion 10. This roadside area was empty, so there was no issue getting the cache here. Thanks.

Stopped at this rest stop and made our way to gz where Albida found it quickly. norkmeister was still reading the clue so we told him we had already found it TFTC
This one took a bit of finding, but only because we kept being sidetracked by the old grave stones. This cache was extremely interesting, so thanks very much for bringing us here.
The dogs enjoyed the walk, too.

Tried this a month or so ago and came up blank after a reasonable search. Cam past today with a few minutes to spare and even had some left over. Easy find when you don't make it too hard. Oh and daylight alos helps. Thanks Tuena.
just left from the invasion event cache in Nowra and a quick stop to admire the art work and the cache work, took a bit of search but came up with the goods, found with Tankengine and Marcus V.
Tricky little sucker, but didn't take tooo long in the end! (Thanks to multiple sets of eyes!). Interesting location, thanks Tuena!
Reperio at 1205. Stopped by here on a visit to Nowra for the weekend with a party of 5 ACT cachers, and after a quick poke around in a few of the more obvious spots, the cache was found in a spot I wasn't expecting. Great little memento for The Berry Brothers.
Gratias for highlighting this spot.

The event group had split and our group were heading up to Kiama. Gosh it is good to do this in groups. I think this was the only one that I actually made the find, I'm sure we looked totally normal turning over all the stones !
It all came together easily with a little hint from a friend.
I should read clues more carefully.
Thank you Tuena

After 15 minutes of looking looking looking no luck. Coords put me at about the right place but nothing spotted.
Will try again another day. Might bring geodog number 2 (a beagle called Spot), he might have better luck.

This cache has been a thorn in my side and the cause of blisters on my fingers. Not any more!
I finally spotted the difference.
The log is full. I didn't have a proper geocache log, but I left an extra strip of paper anyway.
SL, TFTC.

Cache run on the way from Auckland to the Megga Event in Wagga. Took a few sweeps of the area to locate the cache. Great hide T4TC.
Well spotted by Moneydork, could of taken a while otherwise.
Interesting memorial.

Could only afford 5 minutes or so. Ended up with blisters and stone bruises on my finger tips. I swear that I moved half a ton of rocks.... and still no joy. Absolutely insidious cache!
And I even had a 'good tip' from a previous finder. Oh well, next time I will bring a rake and shovel...LOL.
Thanx anyway.

Second attempt at this one. a hint from black & white helped but pure fluke found it in the end. I think it might need attention i could be wrong but there was not really much to spot.
This one was a clever hide but with the help of Geo wife we soon found it.
Signed the Log and we were on our way.

This was a surprisingly quick find only because of the Geoson (Geo1337) and his keen vision.
The area was very wet which made spotting the difference even harder. I had mentioned to him a possible cache type and this is what he was looking for, However he came up with something different. "How did you manage that???"
Thanks for this tricky little hide

After 4 previous unsuccessful visits, I bought a friend today, determined to find this elusive cache. But somehow today it was readily apparent, and the cache was soon retrieved, signed and replaced. Thanks Tuena for a frustratingly clever cache!
It was very very quiet there and after short search found it .......by geowife. Very good hide, congratulations Tuna. Thanks
Tried on my way into Nowra and my way back, but no luck. Couldn't see anything that looked different, GPS was pointing away from figures, so not sure if it's attached, or in the grounds.
Had about a 5min search to no avail due to time restrictions. I like these ones that leave you thinking. Interesting to learn about the founding fathers of Berry. I will be back. TFTS. SAC
Couldn't find this one last time but today with the family in tow didn't take too long. The thing out of place made sense when the cache was found. Quite like these sculptures so TFTC!
Back to this cache for the third time today after a great morning spent on the beach at Geroa. This time we were armed with a good clue from Tuena - OK, so it was directions, but we still had to follow them . Luckily we found it easily today and all good at GZ.
Thanks again for the clue Tuena, this was a trickky little hide at a dual monument that I have come to love. Pa and I will always have fond memories whenever we drive past this spot in the future.

Second try at this one today - pretty sure I know what i'm looking for but just can't seem to find it.
Are there any local cachers who can verify this cache is still here, thanks . I'll also contact Tuena for a hint.

Oh no, its the cachers lament - "I didn't read the whole description", so I dipped out on finding this cache today.
Took the cachekid out for a drive from Nowra to get him some sleep, and ended up at this cache. Had a look around for 30 minutes but I think I was looking in the wrong place for the wrong thing (having just re-read the description).
Oh well, another trip will get the geoson some more sleep tomorrow, and maybe we'll have time to get some of the other caches in Berry. Have to remember to always read the whole description....

Stopped off here on the way to Jervis Bay for a few days break with some friends. Our non-geocaching friends spotted the cache straight away!

Found this one on our holiday road trip to the South Coast. As we were heading south we had to pull off to the left hand side of the road and then cross the road to the park. The GPS took us close to GZ and Marco had a lucky break when he put his hand on the cache in the third place he looked! A nice rest area [despite the discarded bong not far from the cache.] TNLNSL TFTC
Found this one last night in the dark on the way home from Shoalhaven Heads. This was our second go at this one. We were not able to look too hard last time due to a truck resting near by. We had the owner call in at home completing a cache a few weeks ago but even then he didnt give any hints to find this one. Was not even able to get. We were about to give up as the torches were going flat when GK2 had the cache in hand. Thanks for the hunt of this one.
Like others, it took a bit of time but persistence paid off. The coordinates were spot on - which helped. Very sneaky. I notice the 'David' statue seems have grown an appendage. We did a a bit of weeding of the gardens to show our public spirit.
