This cache needs to be archived as there have been many attempts at hiding it and it keeps on going missing. Has been disabled since October.
I definately would not have found this without the photo clue. Either the coordinates are way off, or it should be an unknown cache to find the hiding spot given a puzzle or hunt.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Great walk and past posts helped a lot in finding this one. When signing, the little cow went south accidentally so we added a loom band instead. Thanks for bringing us here.
Found with geoskids... Beautiful spot and the dolphins put on a show for us!!!
Success! Took a few visits and an email to the CO to see if we were on the right track. When it popped up, asked, "How did we miss that before?". Isn't it always the way. This is my last cache in the area as we head home bright & early tomorrow. Will definitely be back to this beautiful area & hope there are more caches to find. Cheers quintrex4
What a beautiful spot! Really enjoyed the walk along the break wall with geofam. Well spotted by Pa-cacher. Even the dolphins put a show on for us. Love this spot. Thanks for bringing us here.
Great outlook for a cache visitor. The dolphins put on a great display. Found with Gourmetgazelle and geo kids.

TFTC. We had a fantastic time around the area on a caching weekend. Didnt find it but we actually think its missing. Lots of muggles around! Great location!
Did not find. We looked for quite a while but no luck. Maybe taken by a muggle??
Zusammen mit Springginkel bei einer Erkundungstour gut finden koennen. Seh schoen hier.
Besten Dank und Gruesse aus Germany.

Sorry, but I couldn't find it. Looked for a very long time and eventually gave up.
Found after about 20 mins looking on trip south for a caching weekend with LonelyRA and NSW Lone Rovers.

With C62 in tow, I went for a pleasent stroll along the breakwater. Only problem were the muggles enjoying the water. Even C62 cound not remember the location of cache. However, without too much trouble, I soon had the CIH & without any muggle interferance. Nice location. SL TFTC

Found after a bit of (unnecessary) mountain-goating. That notches up our 700th cache. Thanks. (Great spot)
What a great spot, even on a wet afternoon, this is a lovely walk along the wall. A few muggles about but were able to grab the cach when the coast was clear. Thanks quintrex4 for the cach and bringing us here.
The photos came in handy for the positioning of the cache on the breakwall as the 'x' had disappeared. TFTC.
A very nice ride with a strong tailwind to get to the end of the wall today by bike
But something really, really odd happened when I got off the bike a few metres short of the end !!
Something so incredulous, it deserves to be written in italics [:o)]
I found the cache within 10 seconds !! [:o]
Yes !! A micro cache in a sea of rocks .... Found within 10 seconds !! [:o][:o]
Unbelievable !!
If feels so nice to get one back on all those cachers who log finds with "A nice easy find. TFTC"
Nice view by the way [^]

Pulled up and walked over to the track and then got sidetracked for quite a while as we watched 3 dolphins cruising nearby.
Then we set off to walk out the breakwater passing a much closer car park on the way. Oh well the extra exercise didn't hurt us.
Took a while and stumbled across this one eventually. Couldn't get any help from the clue but the alternative co-ords someone suggested were spot on for us.
Thanks.

Well the are lots of nooks and crannies to search and perhaps our eyes weren't up to it today. Tried using the hint, but didn't work for us. Maybe next time we are down this way we will be successful.
A late afternoon walk along the wall seemed a good way to end the caching day. A few fishermen but none where we were going. Found the cache quickly ... that surprised us in this type of location. TFTC quintrex4.

A lovely walk out along the breakwall after enjoying some fish and chips for lunch. The cache took a bit of finding with Smurfyguy coming up with the goods. Log was signed and cache replaced ready for the next finder. So many nooks and crannies to look in! Thanks quintrex4.

Lucky we met pprass who was out checking on this one. Gave us a little guidance. Lovely spot. TFTC
After some odd logs - especially from Zargfinders, we went out to check this one out and found that the latest replacement has disappeared. We think that the storms in February must have disturbed the hiding spot. Also we couldn't find the clue indicator.
However to our surprise the second replacement was found a few metres away with Zargfinders name it!
We shifted it to the new location and took a spoiler photo and also fine tuned the co-ords.
The cache is a key holder under an "X" that will not last too long.

This cache was made a little easier for me as I was with the pprass team, they had gone to check on the cache and make sure all was okay. I love walking along breakwalls, and after we found the cache we met another couple of cachers, bamboozer - this is the best part of caching, going to such beautiful places and meeting so many nice people. Thankyou for a great cache quintrex4
went for a nice walk here on the way back from the Gold Coast / Coffs Harbour. Fished here 8 years ago!. one of my favorite spots in Australia. We serched for a while but could not find. Brought back some memories though!
After quite a search geodad found the cache NOT where the clue said, quite the opposite and far too. Anyways geomum got the cache and we signed in. Nice area.
Got quite wet when retrieving the cache when a squall came over the breakwall. TFTC
A lazy day picking up a few in the area with Bettyboo3747.
I don't often walk out on north wall, this was a good excuse.
Lovely view across the water this morning.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 2322. Caching today with Robmc around the area. Such a beautiful sunny day and off to go snorkelling after this one. Plenty of other people also enjoying this area. A nice walk to the end of the wall and a relatively quick find thanks to the hint. We think we have seen this container before!! TFTC
Over thought it! Great little cache. Found with Geokiddie-O. He found it on his own! We added a small eraser to the cache. TFTC
We got to go out with PPRASS today - the morning was beautiful and clear as we headed along the coast. There are some great caches around here and in such scenic areas. This was one that needed replacing and PPRASS had bought along a container.
Thanks to quintrex4.
Thanks to quintrex4.
Well it looks like the cache was replaced prematurely as the whole area was graded after the wall was reinforced.
Another container has been placed at the same co-ords and you don't have to leave the "path" to get it!

Came by GZ...and while there were a few muggles wandering by, I had a look at numerous spots when the coast was clear...but no luck. Maybe next time.

A nice walk along the break wall led us to this little cache.
A few fisherman on the wall, but it was quickly logged & replaced.

Amazing that this is still here. Spent a few mins clambering among the rocks.. wasted time...
Nice walk out onto the breakwall, also gave me a good opertunity to 'study' the bar crossing. Also watched the GPSr go face down on the concrete whilst in the hands of geoboy, ouch but only minor damage. SL TFTC.
Awesome spot to watch the surfers

A nice find on the breakwater. Enjoyed watching the tide racing out and checking the bar out for future reference in case we ever want to bring the boat in. Thanks quintrex4.
Unfortunately, we didn't find the micro caceh, There was quite a bit of littere around the rock which was a bit distracting. However, we saw whales!!!! Yea! Great location. Maybe we'll try again next time we're up this way.
It was pretty busy on the wall with dog walking and fishing muggles so we took a seat and waited for a break in the traffic before finding the cache. Lovely spot for our first cache of the day. TFTC.
Wet and wild today. Tftc

Found in the company of Wombat-1, Mrs Wombat-1 and the Wombat-1 dogs.
A great afternoon spent fishing with Wombat-1, too bad the only thing we caught were snagfish.

There were no muggles around today as it was a bit showery so I had a clear run. Found the cache pretty easily in a really good hiding spot. Thanks for the cache quintrex4
Nice walk along the wall dodging muggles and spits of rain. this was a combination find - yet again - by geohusband and geoson.
great views thanks for the walk and TFTC
