didn't find it, also found the magnet. Will log it anyway and hopefully the cacher will fix it at some point.Didn't find it, however in the area close by I found a magnet and lots of torn up paper. Owner may want to come have a look to see if it's been muggled.
No luck for us today. There wee a couple of ladies painting the view so my search felt a bit stifled.
Another type of cache that usually causes us all types of grief but today found after a short search – nice view - TFTC / TFTH / SL
On the way to tea gardens for some time on the river,great views of the area from there.The
cache was a little hard to spot at first but the clue helped....TFTC...

I like how this one is hidden. Luckily the view kept a family busy looking the other way! Tall Spartman grabbed this one first.
Team effort with barrelledover. She read the hint and we had the cache in seconds. SL. TFTC
A quick find was made, after a failed nearby GCA cache. The trees are growing too well, and the views are disappearing! TNLNSL TFTC
Didn't have any trouble finding this one. A quick grab.
Thanks for the cache &

Cache is in good shape. Took nothing and left some Aussie flags. If you're stuck, wander around a bit.
Sorry for the late log. This is a really nice place to pull into for a break. Great views and picnic tables. I was surprised by the cache. That's only the second time in 4 years that I have found one like that. Thanks PD186
Quick stop on the way into our favourite holiday destination. Doesn't yacaaba look enormous from there. TFTC
Just leaving Tea Gardens when I spotted this lovely park with great views. Now, I thought, this park should have a cache so I stopped to check, and sure enough there is one here. Found quickly and placed the log book in a new ziplock and replaced. I think that is all that is needed in this location and all is good. TFTC!
The GPS was all over the place for this one, and there was no container so someone needs to take a look at it. Tftc.
This needs urgent maintenance! I found the log and the plastic card on the ground, not sure if there was a container but couldn't see one lying around. Have put it up where I thought I might have been but there's no protection for it.
I found the logbook sitting under a twig on the picnic table in full view. After signing, as I didn't have a container of suitable size, I placed it in a new cliplock plastic bag, added a cranky face magnet which might help keep it in place and with the clue in mind, placed it in one of the spots that I thought might have been its original hiding place. Thank you PD186 for bringing me to this lovely outlook.
Found this cache together with Geissbock, three weeks ago on a warm holiday. Now I send greetings from cold and windy Berlin, close my eyes and remember... TFTC!
When we leave Tea Gardens in the very early morning hours to go to the Blue Mountains we did this easy one to say farewell to the Pacific coast. TftC and greetings from Berlin in old Europe.
1830 GAFF2 Found the sign of the cache first up, but couldn't find the cache, so went back to the car, read the GSAK page, and sure enough that was where I had been looking.
Placed a replacement log book in a ziploc bag for others to sign. May need a check up tho if in the area!
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, Aust Light Houses, B 2 B ingot, Iconic Bridges, Just Monkeying Around Oz, Little Moo, PAP, Slugging Around the World!, Trackabulldog, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, and trackable shirt.

This would be one for the Night Caching thesis book mark.

Another good cache located while on holiday in the area.
Signed log here then on to the next one!

We found the cache container but with nothing inside. We signed a scrap of paper and left it inside, but it needs a proper log book and pencil again. TFTC.
There was only one other visitor relaxing in front of their van, so we wandered over to GZ unobserved and collected the container as soon as we saw its hiding place. Thanks for the hide, it was good to get an overview of an area where we have never been before.
Tftc too small to leave any of our treasures for Geokids, but a lovely view and place to stop as we say goodbye to this fabulous area.
Easy find. GPS was spot on. Great view. Camping at Mungo Brush over Easter. Love the area. TFTC 
A quick stop by while in town staying at Zmungo Brush for Easter.
There are some good views to be had here particularly across to the bay.
Thanks PD186 for the cache.

Found late afternoon on the way into visit the relo's at Tea Gardens. There was one car pulled up but the occupants were too busy admiring the view to notice myself and the geo-son poking around GZ. Many thanks PD186
Yay my 100th find[8)], what a great location to see this area from. Found vey quickly with BP Jnr, it helped having done a similar cache just recently, I could see just where to look, retrieved with out raising the interest of some near by muggles and the log was soon signed. I think the council need to empty the waste recepticals more often near GZ as there was a not so pleasent aroma in the air and an awful lot of flys 
Found ths cache reasonably easily but the log has just about disintegtated, the cache need a new log and a pencil.

Found it right away and thought nothing of it. Tried everything before coming back to it to realise it was the cache all along. Cool cache tftc.
A nice easy find. Unfortunately, I did not have a pen with me so had to take a photo of the log instead. TFTC.
Nifty little one this. Nice views too. Cheers!

Log very scrappy and torn. Did not have geocache supplies so improvised and used small wrapper to protect log. May need tlc soon.
The only car here was just leaving but no, another was just coming in. Finally we had it to ourselves so we dived in before anyone else came. TFTC PD186
We were arriving from the north & the GPS bought us here along a unsealed road.
Great views from the lookout, we were the only people here so we had ample opportunity to search for the cache. A clever hide, snake no longer attached.

Stopped in the rest area overnight and found it in the morning. Great hide. thanks.
[Sat and enjoyed the view while we waited for some muggles to leave. Found the cache soon after, nice hide!] but the snake confused me; I hope I put it back right.
Reperio at 1230.
Last stop for the day on the way back into Newcastle...and when I arrived...there were three cars already parked at the lookout. Figured I'd wait a few minutes before wandering over to GZ, and as luck would have it, the three cars all left within a few minutes of each other. Once at GZ, I overlooked the obvious in search of something else...but eventually came back to find the novel hide.
Gratia PD186.

Came up from Belmont to give the Yamaha a bit of a run and to pick up 2 new listings in the area. Easy enough find. Log is a little ragged but there's still room for signing. Thanks PD186.
Nice quick find on the way to Yacaaba, called into the park here and soon had the log signed as the park was empty today. We know another cacher that visited here three times before they could search as the GZ was always crowded. TFTC.
Finally figured out about Favourites! Since this is probably my favourite view in the whole wide world, and it was a well-hidden cache, it definitely deserves a Favourite notation! (I actually found this one a good few months ago.)
Found it!
In what seems a quiet calm place we had to grab this one between visiting muggles.

Nice find once muggles had moved on. Tftc. Log is getting pretty tatty. May need replacing.
I actually found this in early March 2012 I must have forgotten to log it.
I remember it was a Cleaver hide, and that I had trouble getting it back as Muggles showed up for morning tea.
