A great ache thank you

Now that we are coming out of lockdown this cache is now available to find.
Thank you for your patience and to all of you who have been vaccinated.

To help stop the spread of COVID-19, the NSW Government has ordered everybody to STAY AT HOME unless you are: shopping for essentials, receiving medical care, exercising or travelling to work or education.
While some people would regard geocaching as a form of exercise, we feel that this activity is NON-ESSENTIAL, perhaps involving unnecessary travel and therefore should not be undertaken during this time of crisis.
Who knows how long this current lockdown will last! Right now, every one of us has an important part to play in helping to keep our families, friends and the wider community safe in the fight against the spread of COVID-19, by STAYING HOME. Unfortunately, the situation is not improving and there have been an increase in the number of finds on our caches.
As a result of the health authority’s directive, we have decided to disable this cache and respectfully request that you do not seek out and claim a find whilst this cache is disabled. If you do log a find it WILL be DELETED.
Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to bringing our caches back into play after the restrictions are lifter.
Regards
Shifter Brains

Second day of caching in Newcastle and surround before making my way home south via the Entrance in the late afternoon. Again perfect weather today and a light breeze. A quick find and a quick stop within meters.

We have travelled up from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, staying for a couple of nights in a park cabin at the Lake Macquarie Big4 Tourist Park in Mannering Park, to continue with our caching adventures on the Western shores of Lake Macquarie. Our previous visit to the area was in March/April 2018 for the OZ GeoMuster 2018 Lake Mac Mega Event, where our family’s chief puzzle solver had managed to solve (unassisted) a good portion of the Mega GeoArt puzzle caches that were on offer. And this new visit will hopefully see us complete most of the missing pieces of that Mega GeoArt, thanks once again to our family’s chief puzzle solver’s (unassisted) puzzle solving efforts. This was the 17th of 23 finds for the day, and 67th of 73 finds for the weekend.

A quick find after having to drive some distance beyond the road barriers to be able to turn around and get to the correct side of the roadway. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Wow that cache container is VERY attractive TFTC Shifter Brains.

Find #3415

Found it!! Very sticky spot.

For years, I've driven past here and never stopped to get the cache. Finally got it today. Very quick find. TFTC!!! #1670

A quick drive by. Unable to sign as log soaked.

Found on way home last night forgot to log log very wet in closed photo

Nice quick find on the way back from the IRB racing at Caves Beach today.

TFTC

Ironbark.

Ran out of time and sadly DNF.

After my training in Newcastle finished earlier than expected (I probably could have got the last flight home if I knew) I could either drive straight to Sydney and sit in a motel or take my time and get a few caches. The answer was obvious so I just looked at suitable stops along the way and grabbed a couple at each location to break up the journey.
Next one on my way - very busy road but quickly found and disappeared a bit further into the bush to sign.
TFTC Shifter Brains

Busy road! TFTC.

Found it

Tftc

Thanks S&D ... finally didnt have traffic behind us to stop for this pick up.

We'll this was our first family cache, we used the hint and once we realised we were looking for a micro cache we found it in about 5mins. Thanks for a nice easy first cache.

Think away from the obvious

catching up on some VERY backlogged logging while in isolation. found with banj5150 (banj ward), log has been dated back to when it was found. tftc

Found with Beary_Unicorns on a very hot Saturday morning, visited trackables, tftc

One of the best catches I have ever found really recommend it super fun from your boi Luke and Jacob. Thanks

Last for the day.
Thanks shifterbrains. Happy 2019

Auf dem Weg kurz gestoppt damit wir heute noch einen Cache finden konnten.
Jedoch ein spezieller Ort zum Anhalten... dafür sofort gefunden, rasch geloggt und weiter gefahren.

Besten Dank!

Thanks for the Cache and greets from Switzerland!

Thanks!
Vielen Dank fürs Verstecken und Pflegen!

Quick find!! Thanks

Left kids that were with me in the car due to side of the road. Great cache

After an excellent day out on the water bird watching at Swansea I needed a cache on the way back to Sydney to keep my streak going, only 3 days to go until I reach my target number of days!
On the map this looked like a likely suspect and on the drive up I'd spotted the monument. The tricky bit was going to be whether I could pull of the road in the traffic. Lucky, no one behind when I got to the monument!
The co-ordinates were good and it was a quick find. Not so quick actually retrieving the cache, that's a really strong magnet and a very awkward angle.

TFTC # 2932, Streak day #364

Cool

TFTC
This is the first cache I’ve found with my wife and the furthest south I’ve found one.
Cheers.

Nice easy cache love the note tftc

First on the new log. Tftc

Log replaced.

Nice and easy. Other muggles think we are up to no good. May want to think about a new log soon.
TFTC

Very easy

Sneaky

Shoutout to whoever beeped at us looking for the cache. Very good find!

A qaepag, which is supposedly our last cache. But is there ever something called last cache?
TFTC Shifter Brains

OCW PelDroedGwin, ADI, Brewmaker and EverestHigh

Always time for just one more cache on the way back to the city

A quick grab by ADI

Tftc

Earlier in the day I was welcomed to Lake Mac, now I feel welcomed to The Central Coast. TFTC Shifter Brains

One more! One more! They said on the way home. Found in the dark. TFTC

OCW the Bebes, ADI, Everest High and Brewmaker. We just could not resist stopping off for one last cache as we headed back to Sydney. Tftc

Found after a long days work. Few red backs in hiding spot so be careful. TFTC

Today we headed into the city, we had a cacher from NZ Tawhai Team who had not been there before so we combined our caching with sightseeing.
A glorious Easter Sunday morning, we found a variety of caches in some amazing places.
Quiet an impressive Welcome to the Central Coast sign here.
Thanks for placing this cache Shifter Brains

Streak Day #1725 - Out with dave8153 for a quick find whilst doing lab caches. TFTC

Cache find No. 2368
Streak Day : 836

Out today with Snoopy1976 doing the Lab caches and found this one along the way. TFTC

Rapidlywild suggested we head up to the Oz Muster event when it was first published, so between us and a few others we set out to solve the puzzles around the area, not that we got to all of the ones we solved, what a shame we will have to return one day to collect them when the mosquitos are not as active.

We had a great time over the weekend, grabbed lots of caches and met some fellow cachers,

Thanks Rapidlywild for another enjoyable geoadventure.

Its GeoMuster time around the Lake Mac. Been planning to attend this one for a while and was happy to see it get Mega status. Very enjoyable weekend away with FurfacesLL #1 and catching up with so many different cachers.

After a big day yesterday, we were up and ready for another day of geocaching

After attending the flash mob, we headed south towards Cachentine series, collected a couple along the way. No issues here.

Thanks for the cache hide Shifter Brains its been a fab weekend!

Not in the most obvious spot at this location but look around and you might find a suitable substitute cache location. Cache is in good condition and magnet is really strong. Thank you CO for the cache.

aFound with Little Roo on our way from from a fine day out TFTC

Found with Bryzee TFTC

Very easy to spot but difficult to dislodge. I placed it back on the adjacent side to be less obvious but is still clearly visible depending which way you approach. Tftc!

Quick find. Big red back spider standing guard so be careful

Found by The Empire
On our way to Newcastle for the Ice Hockey, time for a few drive-bys! Thanks for the cache, Shifter Brains.

Family's first local geocache. Nice and easy to find!

Decided to brave the ominous weather & headed south to cache around Gwandalan/Summerland. This was the first stop of the day, pulled over next to the sign, light drizzle started, contemplating who should go & find it, when Julie spotted the cache & she was IT! Yes, she had trouble with the strong magnet, too! Back in the car, out of the rain & out of sight of the whizzing cars, Log was signed & cache replaced as found. Good start to the day! TFTC Shifter Brains

#4003 (8 of 15 today)

It's milestone time again, but my target has flown the coup. Almost 90 minutes away, I'll need to be quick - and lucky.
And I still have 4 finds to make first. Luckily there are 4 other caches nearby...

Managed to get 15 for the day - best make the day worthwhile after the long drive - and 14 other caches besides.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Stopped here.
Another cache another sign. How many big signs are there around here?

Quick find. Two problems. One, there are a lot of redback type webs at GZ. Second, that is one strong magnet. Between the two it made grabbing the cache difficult.

Finally got it and completed signing duties, then replaced.
