Hi Ben87, please check cache location. I think its been removed.

Disabled while its being sorted out

No joy today. I think it has been removed.

Went looking for this today with Die Zuckerschnecke. Sadly we could not find it as I had before.

Came here last month and the cache was intact, even picked up a trackable. Came back today to drop off a trackable and the entire cache is missing from the original location where it was found. Has it been moved or muggled? Shame to lose this cache.

Found. Luckily with no snakes or spiders. Two trackable a missing but found a different TB to take with us. Z2...B

found a while ago

No tbs in the cache.
Found easily after finding the track.
Left a travel bug.

Parking at the top of the hill not far from GZ I spent a few minutes looking for a pathway down the hill, once that was spied it was only a short stroll & the cache was found fairly quickly. Log book is a bit damp but able to be signed.
TNLN,SL TFTC.
Cheers from CATONY.

Disappointed I overlooked doing this cache from the river recently, would have been just perfect on a high tide!

TFTC Ben87

A quick find, cache a bit damp but logbook still signable.

As it was such a beautiful day, I decided to approach this one from the water by kayak. Big mistake at low tide! The mud was knee deep and sticky! I ended up looking like a New Guinea Mud Man but the cache was found and another smiley added to my tally so all was right in the world. TFTC. TNLN.

Detoured out this way to collect a smiley. Quick find using hint, SL and re established camo. Nice hide Ben87

Nice walk down after spending some time looking for the entrance to the track. The cache was in full view from the track so we hid it better for the next cacher. No pen.

Probably the first and last time I'll get to play navigator - lead alraklooclooc and myself on a wild goose chase before she decided to pull over, map it out for herself, memorise the route and make me redundant. Good times, haha.

found it

Reperio at 0030.

Being dark, when I first pulled up in line with GZ and looked into the scrub ahead of me...I was thinking that there must be an easier way as the terrain stars were minimal. A quick read of the previous logs soon had me on the trail down to the cache...and as soon as I arrived to GZ...it was spotted. A very nice little piece of bushland.

Gratias Ben87.

A quick find after a false start. Found with Rat&Brats. TFTC.

After heading down a track which turned out to be people's backyards, we doubled back & found the right path.

An easy find before walking further down to check out the water - nice spot.

SL which is a bit damp TNLN TFTC

TFTC. Significant place for one of us. Grew up very nearby. No geocoin.

Like others before us, we took the steep way down , only to find the path directly back out! Easy find. Log signed but is damp. TFTC. Some nice houses around the area

Found with the family. Took nothing, left marble. TFTC.

First find, didn't have a pen!! Take you're own!!!

can someone move the its a race coin closer to regina sask. canada please,,lol would like to see if it can get home. ty

The cache was opened and container lid was lying away from cache. Needs to be checked and put back in its original position. TFTC!

Found it , bush was hard to get through but eventually got there in the end TFTC

Not the greatest of walks down there in the damp, but good spot. Odd that there are stairs in the middle of nowhere. TFTC

TFTC, Visited trackables in company to experience the local area.

Took a while to find a way down in to the reserve but once there this was an easy find. I also enjoyed taking some 8 megapixel quality photos with my OMG NEW PHONE which has a built in camera. tftc

Went with Mandalf and Ridersofroryhan. We entered the Reserve from the wrong side at first but enjoyed that as it felt like being in a rainforest (it was really rainy). Easy enough find when we finally went from the right side.

Not a 100% pleasant cache to find on a wet day, pushing through all the branches and leaves. But a nice place and would be a great cache to find on a dry day. TFTC!

If it wasn't for todays date I probably wouoldn't have gone out caching at all. Now I did and this one was fun despite of the rain!

Our GPS was a bit off, but no mistaking the hint.

Well hidden. TFTC

#Man Kingdom

took 5 minutes before noticing the camo tftc

Found cache, great hide. Did at 9pm.
Unfortunately no coins like previous logs suggest and no log saying otherwise.

85# quick find you made it look like the cache was not there with the camo the camo was nice tftc

dropped off geocoin

We needed one more for our 900th and this looked like one of our favourites with a walk in the bush. The track is getting a bit overgrown and the moon was taking over from the sun, but we soon reached our target and saw the camouflage. No swaps, but a Coin was left. Thanks Ben87 for a good hide in a nice bit of bush.

Nice hide. TFTC

Sick hiding spot. And we did it at 1:30am so it shouldn't be too hard to find

I have had this one on my watchlist for about eighteen months.
today, being in Sydney, my mission was to complete it.
i arrived and like others initially had difficulty finding the trail head, but with that accomplished, I made my way down for a quick find.
Yay.
You see, it's been on my watchlist because the name of the cache is also my surname. thanks Ben87 for the caching fun

A good quick find, thanks.

this was my first ever find! just around the corner from my house. thanks!

I nce peaceful park, and ine I would never have had reason to go to if not for the cache.
No muggles, no noise (apart from the odd passing car), and a nice easy find into the bargain.
thanks.

Nice little cache. Left some more swag as the cache had only a log book so this may attract some more kiddies.
TFTC

Interesting patch of bush. The hint made this an easy one and then we even manged to find the track to get back out of here. That's a bonus.

Easy find, the camo had fallen away leaving the cache rather exposed.
TNLN TFTC

Muggle wife again had the eyes for this one. Nice area. TFTC. TNLNSL.

This was hidden well - but the clues and coordinates are spot on. I found myself climbing a very large felled tree - if you do this you are too far away. Took the beady eyed signal and left some batteries.

Report: Went for a quick explore down this road as it is the first time I have been out this way I think! Was worried when I saw the thick bush but then spotted the path head and skipped down to the cache site. I was running late for lunch at the pub so when the camo that was very well in place fooled me I had to resort to the hint before the obvious came to light. No rain today thank god (unlike yesterday!) but a bit of moisture in the box Left a TB for continue its journey. Nice part of the world here, hate to think how much it costs to live here though!

Nice morning, so I took the red rubber duck out at Woronora boat ramp. Thought, I might upload a few caches on my eTrex. High tide allowed landing in Thompson's Bay - you wouldn't do it at low tide with all the mangroves and oysters on rocks. Barefeet, kwoel and I, The Arkaroo - and snaky ground! Finally, we found the way up; my first try to approach landmarks in nautical miles and feet. However, I didn't remember any of the descriptions, so we searched 20 min and gave up! Maybe another one today...

Nice easy find, thanks for the cache.

Found with the CrankyGekko. Thanks for the cache

Made this a little harder than it needed to be- parked and tried to find a way down- eventually stumbled downwards and approaching GZ found a track, then another which led me right to GZ. Took a bit of searching/ thinking as the clue had me a little puzzled but then spied the hiding spot and presto!

Followed the track back out which popped me up the western end of the reserve and a quick trip back to the car. TFTC!

I remember coming down this finger of land many years ago, I'd just forgotten how nice it was until today.
Finding the cache was easy after I found the right track in and dodged all the wet branches.
Thanks

quicky easy find on my way home from work TNLN TFTC

What a great spot! Did a bit of a TB exchange and had a wander through the very wet and overgrown surrounds - perfect afternoon for the youngest LegoLad!

Looks like bush regenerators are hard at work here, it is a long hard battle to keep weeds at bay....
After finally finding the way down to GZ, it was an easy find, thanks for bringing me here.

Younger daughter, Bethany, was having a friend over today, but we had to pick her up. She lives out at Illawong, so I figured I might as well get something out of the drive too. We stopped at the Reserve before picking up Bethany's friend, Tayla. Unfortunately the path mentioned in the description didn't seem too obvious from where I'd parked (at the bus stop), so we straight lined it down the hill to the cache. Ahh, there's the path, and the steps!
Bethany searched briefly and came up with the goods. We signed the log and then headed out the easy way and back to the car.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache Ben87.
best wishes,
Wal

This was a quick find. Lots of mozzies around.
Swapped some TB's and grabbed the Fire Memorial coin (I have one as well - pretty nice)
TFTC Ben87

Tx Ben, was a quick visit. Left two TB's. SL TFTC.

Just dropping off a geocoin - I was unable to take it futher afield, soz.

526 - 1 for today. Found on 24/01/2010 at 12:07 PM.
A quick find in a nice quite location. TNSLLN

A nice & peaceful location in a nice area. Didn't see any snakes etc around but can imagine there's quite a few about in this dense habitat.
Took TB, thanks,
The Hancock Clan

I've been meaning to get this one since I saw it come out some weeks back but you gotta go where the work takes you! (This is my 1st opportunity in a while)
I enjoyed a brief walk to GZ and soon stirred up some basking reptile close to GZ..........whether it was a lizard or snake I'm not sure however it was kinda large.
Needless to say I found the cache took a bug and a coin and replaced them with another bug hurredly.
I Replaced the cache with came and scooted on back outta there only to stir the same reptile a second time
Great reserve thanks for showing it to me

Of course I took the shortest but hardest way in. Looks like I just missed RAGS. This was probably a nicely maintained park at some stage. Someone has gone to a lot of trouble making all those stairs.
TNLN. Nice spot. Thanks.

Dropped off Sydney the Travel Turtle geocoin.

I've just added a couple of items to the cache for people to swap.

Found 8:50am. Nice secluded location. Also a Rainbow Lorikeet nesting area. TNLN thanks.

We actually saw this cache pop up last night, & when it was still there unfound at lunch time today, we decided that a FTF would be good to mark our 600th find..... so off we went.
This is a nice little reserve, with lots of birds around & some nice glimpses up the river. We did not even know it was here. Mrs Us did see evidence of a snake by way of an old skin, so future cachers make sure you keep your eyes open.
Found the cache quite easily - coords were actually pretty much spot on, so no need to the hint at all for us. Luckily the *FTF* was still there for the claiming & that we did. Took the FTF prize.
Dropped off the Queen of Caching Geocoin.
TFTC - well done on your first hide.
Cheers
