Didn't read all the dnfs before arriving. Still, a part of the world we'd never been to.
Came for an easy stroll with family only to find it isn't here and others haven't found it either. Oh well. Nice day to view the ducks
Searched high and low and in view of the previous comments we think its either dropped in to the water or been muggled .
I was shopping with the small kid and since it fell asleep in the pram, I decided to go for the little detour and look for the cache in the wetlands. When I reached ground zero, I think I saw what might have been the cache, but it was impossible to retrieve - I therefore decide to log DNF. As the previous finder already posted: this cache definitely needs some maintenance (or closure, if maintenance cannot be provided).
Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Quick find, however I could not sign the log as the cache was stuck in the hidey hole.

Cache was impossible to retrieve from the hiding place. Please have a look and replace.
Serious maintenance needed, but it is a great spot. Very peaceful, even with a group of Scouts passing by. TFTC
Out a and about with family and friends wildlife watching and birding.. 46 sp birds, 4 reptile sp, 1 mammal Red bellied black snake most exciting along the track, cache needs help just pulp nothing to sign ....
This place is awesome for wildlife variety.
Cache is tragically in need or a rebuild, but can be found.

Hi , I am no longer living in Sydney. If anyone would like to take over my caches please let me know.

Hiya. Sorry to have to report this but the cache seems to have lost it's top and the log was wet and jammed in.
Therefore we couldn't sign the log.
Thanks
Therefore we couldn't sign the log.

Found after short search.
However we couldn't get the paper out so couldn't sign it.

Found, we think, the cache but like the previous cacher we could not sign the log.

Found this one, managed to gently get the log out, (it seems to have dried up a bit, after the sunny days we've had - lid still missing, found with Sluggeh and Menace,
Fount it. Great hide. Couldn't get the log out to sign, but still a win.
We also got to see turtles, ducklings and a red belly black. Well worth the walk. Thanks

7/10/15. 1:31 PM. Cache #3085. Streak day #472.
1st of 2 today - Warriewood & Ingleside.
I had the wetlands walkway to myself this afternoon, probably because there was a threat of incoming rain. I started at the posted coordinates and then widened my search, trying all the places I thought of that could hide a cache.
After a few minutes getting nowhere, I thought I'd phone a friend. Just before the call connected, something I tried revealed the cache, so I hung up, grabbed the cache and signed. Quick replace, and just in time, soon after joined by a muggle walking her dogs where she shouldn't be. I left to go look for "A Chelonian Bale" next. TFTC.

Lovely area and a neat hide worth a favourite point from me. Thanks for the cache akira13.
#2049 (7 of 8 today)
Decided to pick up a few caches along (sort of) Mona Vale Road today. Left home later than I was intending and so only found 8 (out of 8, so can't complain too much). But I did have a few nice bush walks, including one 4 kilometre round trip walk that I could have parked 150 metres from if I'd wanted.
Finally called it as darkness started falling.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Time for just a few more before sunset. Well, there would have been but this one took a while.
Parked in the bay near the start of the walk and made my way to GZ - to find a note taking muggle right in the search area. So I took in the surroundings - lots of water birds (which was probably keeping the muggle there) - and a few walk pasts suggested a possible hide or two.
After 15 minutes the muggle finally moved on (only 100 metres or so, but now out of sight of GZ). So started the search of the spots identified and so had CIH!
Camo works well.
Opened the cache and unlike previous logs (which I had perused while waiting) had no difficulty getting the mostly dry log out and completing signing duties (one of two areas on the paper are slightly damp). Just tapped it on the boardwalk.
Then back to the car. Just time for one more, but the other close by is all DNFs. Hmmm...

Streak day #148 - was considering doing another nearby cache to clear a square on my difficulty/terrain grid, but considering there was tape across the start of the path I thought it would be better left for daylight. This was just around the corner. Park the car and wandered out to GZ. Came across another line of tape but this one had already been flattened so I continued along the path. Once out on the boardwalk I fairly quickly had CIH, however as with previous logs the paper is rather damp so it's not possible to get the log out without pulling it to pieces. I think some maintenance is in order. Sneaky hide though. TFTC.
Second time round trying to find this one, and it turned out be a quick find. The log is soaking wet and we couldn't get it out without destroying it. TFTC
Found it while out with dad,Lisa,Sal & Kaila - Tftc but couldn't sign the log as couldn't get it out
Nice tricky container that I'm familiar with from home, the grandkids enjoyed finding this one, TFTC
#215 very nice camo - replaced rusty log as the container isn't very water tight
Found on a lovely sunny day, signed TM91 on a dry section of the log... Log needs replacing however, TFTC
After our island adventures (Gilligan's & Jeannie's) we decided for a quick visit to the Warriewood Wetlands before heading home. Parked the geomobile at the playground and followed the track & boardwalk to GZ.
We were looking in likely spots but then the family chief puzzle solver yelled out "bingo" and she had CIH. A very cunning hide indeed.
As others have said the log sheet is in urgent need of replacement, but we did manage to sign it as it is currently quite dry. TFTC.
Find #318

Find #318
Cache check during an afternoon ride with the geo-son. As previously indicated the log is rusted solid and un-signable at present. Its a great cache so we may try to fix it in the next week or so if the CO is unable to.
Found this sneaky one but unfortunately this one has been completely water logged. Log is destroyed and metal has rusted all throughout. TFTC though.
Found whilst out on an early morning walk, beaut camouflage although log is soaked and jammed in tight, took pic of find if required, TFTC
Took longer than it should have, and even in the middle of the week quite a few Muggles walking by making this a bit tricky.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
First ever geocach and i found it:-D Tricky hiding place seriously! Thanks to my Mum Shaz wnd my sis Zoe + my dogs milo and rollie for their help and patience
The previous logs helped in finding it - although I was thinking along too complicated ways. Not even dared to open the container - soaking. Thanks for the nice sunset stroll opportunity. Photo proof available if requested for log.
We camped in Narrabeen for a couple of days, and this morning we found this nice hidden cache in a beautiful park. Too wet to log. TFTC from the Netherlands.
Couldn't think where to look, then an idea came like a 'bolt from nowhere'. Log too wet to open.
Yes!!! Finally we got a smiley today after searching. 3rd times a charm...fantastic hide!! Couldnt sign the log as it looked too wet to even try and retrieve. A new log might be needed, took a photo for evidence.. .. Thank you akira13.
