After talking to Colleda about geocaching in the local area, they told me that this cash man cache was still here, so i took a look and sure enough found it pretty quickly, log was full, which wasn't surprising for how long its been here for, cheers.

'Funny' how ineffective the GPS was under the trees. And it took a little bit of back and forth to zero in on the spot.
Nice hide and retrieval. Dry and intact

While we had come down to visit with the older son (brother) he had had to go to work, so we went off to find a few caches.
1435 GAFF1 While the GPSr took way past (lots of interference from the trees I guess) it also brought us back to just the right spot.
Obviously unable to leave a Correct Site Marker in that sized cache. Dry and intact - coordinates great.
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, All Season Caching 2007 Summer, Aust Light Houses, B 2 B ingot, Celtic cross, CITO tag, Iconic Bridges, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink coins, N-JOYO TB and trackable shirt.

That hill is steeper than it looks! It was great to stop for the lovely views and a nicely hidden cache, shame the park's a bit neglected. Yeah, we wouldn't mind an orchard here. TFTC The Cash Man

After a short look-around I got the right idea and found the small box. I think this is one of the largest caches in Australia Wink We found so much nanos today that it was nice to find this one.
Thank you says Enhaneunzig from Germany

I grew up here. It has grown thick since I was last here, and a concrete path down to the water seems to have disappeared. It was pretty much dark by the time I got to searching after waiting for a woman, her granddaughter and dog to move on. I wandered around the park for a while before zeroing in on the obvious location and finding my prize. Having just completed Rocky Point, helped me a little in finding this one. Thanks Cash Man.
 
17-Mar-12
Quick find today, nice view!
 
Well I didn't get the hint but that doesn't matter.
I found it anyway and a clever and effective hide it is.
Nice.
Thanks for the cache.

Swung by this cache in the drizzle and fading light for grab find #600! GPS led us straight to the great little hide. Sometime ago there would surely have been fantastic views of the lake. Found with TheOrmos and the revisiting CDM261. TFTC and the milestone!

I'd like to "mark this point" as my hereafter place of rest.

Wow nice little park. I'd never been to Marks Point before. Glad I didn't have to go down the overgrow and rather steep little track down to the water.

Wow, had been here two times previously and couldnt find a thing, Untill today Smile Searching without a GPS left lots of places to search and when we were about to give up yet again it finally clicked to me what the hint was about and we found it! Very well hidden TFTC

Good hide. Thanks

I liked the view but I didn't find anything. My GPS is out by 6m which always gives me a large search area. Even with the clue I couldn't make this work out. Thanks for bringing me here Cash Man
 
22-Jun-11
This was not a quick find Smile, eventually got it with the help of the clue.

Cold today with a stiff southerly buster blowing in. Found quickly Tftc.

Reperio at 1410. Another wonderful little view point visited today, and while there weren't too many spots to search around, I somehow managed to overlook the cache on the first run through, which subsequently added another 10 mins to the search time until I came back to the spot, looked again...and thought how did I miss that.

Gratias.

Found on second attempt GPS on target this time. TFTC SL

What a top little spot. I bet the % of Newcastlians have not been here. I didn't venture down the track but that looked tempting. Clear skies!
 
26-Apr-11
Found at 12:50pm, our second on an afternoon of picnicking and geocaching (as the school holiday finale). A nice, quiet spot that we may well revisit. Thanks!

XC on business in Mt Hutton for a few days.. Out for a run at dawn this morning before heading back to Sydney to fly home to NZ... Ran to here from motel nearby... Quick easy find once nearby muggle had his back turned...

My first encounter with fellow cachers, unsure of the proper etiquette we were pretty certain of their purpose and approached Mr and Mrs CDM261, glad we did, as it was nice to talk to someone else about this hobby.
A very clever method used to hie he cache, I did manage to disturb a rather large wolf spider who had made a home near the cache.
TFTC
 
20-Nov-10
Spotted mr and mrs CDM261 doing the signature cacher's walk; one arm up, holding gpsr, head down, eyes on the screen. Had to say hi.

Cool method of cache concealment.

SL. TFTC!

Interesting little park at the end of a quiet street.
Meet 2 fellow cachers - ogallcobair_MDG and Just_Ice_au. It's always fun when you come across fellow cachers. Nice to meet you guys!
Clever hide!

Beautiful view we are a bit jealous of the views from the cream house to the right of GZ. Quick find signed log and admired the view again. TFTC

9th find for today. Ran off to find this one before geo-Mum even had time to put the coordinates in the GPS! TFTC!
 
21-Sep-10
took a punt and found this without the gps. Cache was difficult to extract

One of those views people pay millions to wake up to every day. Seems only fair they should share it with us every once in a while! TFTC Smile

I want to live here! I had no idea Mark's Point was this big. Or this posh lol
 
19-Sep-10
I never realised just how big Marks Point actually is.
A nice easy find, though i dont quite get the clue o_O

Found at 2.30pm GAFF1. A lovely spot, but we wished the trees could have been trimmed so that we could get a better view. We disturbed a little huntsman from its hiding spot when we removed the well crafted cache. Gave us a minor scare.
Thanks The Cash Man - are you in competition with Madstars for the most caches around a bay?

We sat here to have lunch and then picked up the cache after we were done eating. A nice example of a home-made cache that was a little more interesting than most others in the area. TFTC.

Interesting to note that we were the third finders of this well hidden cache today, it turns out we were also following Mix as well as The Head Chef.
