Will check

No luck. Not topside nor down the cliff

Dnf

Arrived at oi uraccommodatuon and on seeing the "stack" I thought there would a cache here for sure! Looked around for a while but no luck even the hint didn't help

Coordinates changed from:
S 33° 53.169 E 151° 17.125

Coordinates changed to:
S 33° 53.160 E 151° 17.135

Distance from original: 74.0 feet or 22.5 meters.

S 33° 53.160 E 151° 17.135

I won't call this a DNF, because I didn't search. When I read that the coordinates were out I looked about and saw so many potential hidey places I moved on. Now sitting at my computer, I see an alternative set of coordinates, which make sense. I wish I had been able to see those when I was there, but my Garmin only shows the three last logs.

Got a 1 foot reading at the petroglyphs. Will have to try again on our next visit.

Looked everywhere but cam up empty handed

First cache for the day. Good to see these in situ and not just on the telly. Great views with unobstructed views all round. TFTC

Trouvé avec du mal. De plus j avais oublié mon stylo pour marquer sur le petit déroulé...

I was at North Bondi with SmudgeyCat so we headed over to see these famous Aboriginal rock carvings. What an amazing location up here. We found the petroglyphs very easily, but finding the cache proved to be a bit more difficult. Looked all around the carvings with no luck, as that was where the gps was indicating. Then I read the hint and decided to expand the search area. Aha. A sneaky hide. Found with SmudgeyCat MM. TFTH

Found the Petroglyphs traditional cache at North Bondi a while ago with Geodude. Nice petroglyphs. MM

Nice find.
TFTC.

Suggested Coordinates I found accurate (Obtained from Google Earth)
S 33° 53.160 E 151° 17.135

There was a sign which said no trespassing but there were some people camping (??) so we thought it was okay to go there. A quick find!

Well that took much longer than anticipated..
Coords are indeed off, will add recommended ones shortly
Hint also helpful but not due to the repaint jobs on some areas which previously had this present, although upon locating the cache the hint was indeed true
What an amazing view here, would be spectacular for sunrises
Thanks for showing me this
TFTC TNLNSL

Nice quick find around one of the places that you would think would be a lot busier then it was.. tftc

Gotcha - Found on a freezing windy day. No one silly enough to be around. Found no worries.

Found it with Célia

Thanks for the cache.

Be careful of the golfers.

During a 10-day roadtrip from Melbourne to Sydney to meet up with CT_ZA I enjoyed some sightseeing and obviously a lot of caching along the way .
Having arrived in Sydney it was time to seek out some of the more interesting caching spots around the CBD and beyond. Perfect sunny weather this week made for some great outings.

I had to play a fun game of hide-and-seek with some golfers to get to this cache .
Thanks for highlighting these interesting petroglyphs, The Artful Dodgers.

A quick cache and dash between golfers. TFTC

Found quickly after visiting Bondi beach TFTC

Awesome views from up here. And some interesting aboriginal carvings.
Found the cache, but it wasn't where the GPS pointed.

Nice spot Found while visiting Bondi-Beach on a rainy day [B)] TFTC

Nice place. I logged it.

So I looked around for an hour until the battery in my phone died. Read everyone's comments and looked at photos for extra clues. Graffiti clue I find didn't help as there's about 6 different pieces of graffiti in the area. I don't know whether the recent storms have moved it but I certainly couldn't find anything. This was my first time looking for a cache so not a good start for me.

Today we made the Coast Walk. I was looking for a cache , Petroglyphs Cache. I found this nano quickly .
Thank you for show this important place to me. It was a place of great interest with a very nice view.
Many greetings from Berlin, Germany.

Another find with morty8888 and another of the familiar caches prepared and maintained by The Artful Dodgers. I do like the boldness of their caches. TFTC.

3rd time lucky. Sneaky but obvious after finding, obviously. TFTC.

Tftc. It took me a while.

First day on the Bondi beach, had enough sun and went geocaching. Unfortunatelly we did not have pen so photo log instead. Tftc

Took a slight diversion from my usual route home from work today, after a morning shift, to pick up a few caches around the Eastern suburbs areas of Sydney. This was the 4th of 5 finds for the afternoon.

Parked the geomobile in Military Road, near the Bondi Sewage Works, then followed the concrete steps & track up past the sewage works and into the golf course. Kept to the outside edge of the golf course, making sure I was well out of the golfers way, until I reached GZ.

On arrival GZ looked unlikely, so I took a look at the hint and quickly realised where I needed to be. Searched around for about 5 minutes, then spotted the little fella and it was then CIH. Signed the tiny log sheet and replaced as found.

The coords seem to be out by at least 10 metres, according to my Garmin 62s, but the hint is excellent and gets you to the correct spot without issue. TFTC The Artful Dodgers.

Find #1499

More like nano cache Very nice hide. Thanks

Quick grab. Thnk for showing the Petroglyphs.

The golf course was no trespassing zone

Found the carvings but no cache. Thanks anyway

Pin is about 10m off but it didnt take toolong to find once at the right location tftc!

Beautiful spot!! TFTC

Still, I don't get it. There are several places fitting with the new hint. Especially one can be seen from GZ. (Should be a multi btw if the cache is not hidden at GZ. ) Checked the others as well. No idea where this one is.

Found it at last! TFTC The Artful Dodgers

Found on a windy, rainy day at Bondi. A different ambience but still a spectacular view. Thanks for replacing the cache as it was definitely missing when I looked before. TFTC The Artful Dodgers..

OK, the chain fence that this cache was attached to has disappeared. I have move the cache back closer to the original location.

Hope I've been just blind today and the cache is not gone again.

Loved the engravings, thanks for the cache

Could not find this one today. Coords and map had me at the NE corner of the shed but nothing found.

Ok this cache keeps disappearing so I have moved it and changed the container type

Spent the morning doing the SCG & Allianz Stadium tour, then lunch with friends in Randwick.
Afterwards, decided to pick up a few more caches near the coast - T4+ caches excluded!

Found four - one with another cacher - and DNFed 2.
An OK caching day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Started here - the site of a previous DNF. I noted the cache was recently replaced, so thought I'd ahve another go here.
Somewhat muggled, but the girl sitting near the edge enjoying the view and reading was mostly under an umbrella so couldn't see me. I just needed to be quiet.

Went around more than once and felt in a lot of spots - some I really didn't want to poke into - but nothing for me again.
Will keep an eye out for other finders before returning a third time.

Just wondering if the container has been replaced....

Need a new container so will replace and update

Again only a log - adrift on ground so will claim. Put this under cover
Needs attention though asap and a container

Found log sheet but no cache. Signed and counting as a find

#21 Sydney

Found only the log sheet, but where is the cache?

Please look at the picture....

TFTC

Nice view! TFTC

Second day of our holiday in Sydney. Today it was time to visit Bondi-Bronte-Coogee.
First find of the day, pretty straight forward although the coordinates were a little bit out for us. Scenic views from GZ. TFTH

Not an easy find. But the view is fantastic.
TFTC

As we reviewed the log we got some hints which proved helpful. The coordinates were a little off. The silk was still there by the guarding. TFTC

Patience is a virtue

Avenging an old DNF here today; it still took me two loops around the structure mentioned in the hint to find it, but eventually I did and I'm sure it wasn't there last time. Since I get to Sydney for a month or two every year now, I only had one real 2015 chance at vengeance here so I'm happy. Not many Muggles around and it was a lovely morning. TFTC!

Tftc lovely spot and cool old history. Gound cache difficulty retrieving cache. Losy pen.
Found pen sl

Probably our last find in the Sydney area on this holiday. Somehow found the cache rather quickly which allowed us a few minutes to admire the steep cliffs very nearby. Then as we headed back to the car, we heard "FORRREEE!!" We ducked and only then realized that we had crossed a golf hole on our way in and didn't even realize!!

Well that took longer thanks to a cache guardian that had added extra silky camo! Collected lots of trigs on route and a fabulous day to be caching on the coast! Cheers!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found with Clazz after we gave our muggle walking companions the slip. I made almost one complete circuit of the structure before I spotted the sneaky hide. Unfortunately, I couldn't make much out of the carvings. SL TFTC

The clue is very useful - but that is a big shed for a small trackable. Mr MR found it in an area that I had just checked. Hard to see if the sun is shining at an unhelpful angle. TFTC

Decided to grab more caches from Bellevue Hills and north to Vaucluse before tonight's Big Bash cricket at the SCG.
I had seven caches in mind here, all hidden days I haven't picked up yet.

Well, it didn't go that well. Three were DNFs, two others were not quickly accessible. Sigh.
And the cricket didn't go well, either.
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]
After finding parking impossible for two Bondi caches, I came here. Nice easy access.
Between dodging two golfers and two sightseer muggles, I scoured GZ for about 45 minutes but came up short.
I did note part of the structure near where my iPhone was pointing has been vandalised recently - and if that part was hiding the cache...

Second DNF to start the day. Does this area of Sydney hate me?

Found it on my second lap. On the way out had to wait for a golfer to do a fairway drive. He wound up with a nice looking swing, and .... It went all if two metres .

Nice hide tftc

That plaque is hilarious. Or tragic. Well it's a statement of the times isn't it.
Wonderfully quiet at dawn, thanks, great spot.

Found it! TFTC!

Quickly found. TFTC!

TFTC

Took a while but eventually found it, unlike a couple of years ago.

Absolutely awesome views! TFTC

Another cache misspalot had found previously and showed me the way. Seriously. I couldn't find anything today. It was all her! She was on fire!

Must come here to play again. What great views

A qaepag!! Found it so easily as the sun set and we saw the last view for the day of the bay from this cache! Beautiful! Tftc

Current steak: 105
Cache no: 1055

Quick park and find with AlphaDeltaIndigo. 18:27 and its starting to get cold.. So glad it was a quick find. TFTC

Beautiful sunny day but no find!

#27 in Australia
The first nice day with beautiful sun. It seems that all people of Sydney are gathered here at Bondi Beach!
Amazing view. How many balls drop down the cliff?

We came straight up from the lost treasures of Bondi cache via a gap in the cliff. This placed us a couple of 100m away and the rest of the walk was easy and pleasant. This would have to be one of the best golf courses with a view around. The smell around GZ wasn't all that pleasant but we battled it and quickly found it after a scare at first as we found a lone magnet that we thought was part of the cache, but wasn't.
TFTC

After arising from the depths of hell, well not really, more like the area of towering rocks and gorges. Slightly odd and smelly spot here. Made a surprisingly quick find considering the nature of the hide. TFTC!!

Very cool carvings but was a bit windy to hang around for too long

Made a quick find before we blew away

Tftc

We were reluctant to approach the carvings too close today with a gale threatening to blow us over the edge, and it was a bit sad seeing the vandalism that has occurred. The cache was retrieved and logged before racing back to the car out of the cold wind. Thanks again to the the Artful Dodgers for a good hide in a great location.

Having found the Lost Treasure of Bondi nearby and hearing there were some carvings nearby we headed over for another cache. We used the path across the golf course to Ben Bucklers and then over the carvings. There seems to have been some checkered history here and the other carvings relate to the Spanish landing long before Cook. It was then over to GZ and once we had a likely corner lined up we made short work of the find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Found after some consideration. Bring a pen. I only had a highlighter. Lucky I was not alone because I am vertically challenged.

Fully expected this one to take a lot of looking but with a quick stop to read the logs and a swift check for muggles retrieved the cache and signed the log without arousing any suspicions. TFTC

Determined to find it but it took much longer to find then it should have!! Looked back through many logs and agree that for some of us it is certainly at least a terrain2 or 3. Luckily someone was with me! Tftc - a wonderful view.

Did not find. Part of rear side of shed is damaged. I think from wind yesterday. Propably cash disapeared.

Structure was damaged months ago. Cache is definitely there.

Having been watching this for some time, I was glad to see it be re-enabled by the CO, and seeing that another nearby cache had also been re-enabled on the weekend, I figured it was time to make an assult on North Bondi caches. GZ was easy enough to locate, however looking where the pin was indicating on Google Earth reviled nothing. I expanded my search and stopped to read a few previous log entries, which gave me some inspiration. When I spotted the magnet decoy I knew I was close, and the cache was soon in hand shortly afterwards. Coords were a little off, but I think that's perfectly OK for a cache of this nature and adds to the sense of adventure. SL and replaced. TFTC Artful Dodgers!

Another quick find on first visit to bondi. TFTC

Found while doing a spot of caching in the area. A great spot. TFTC.

Saw this one come back online and decided to try it again after a previous DNF as it was missing. The old magnetic strip is still attached to the structure but is a red herring. The replacement container is there in its hiding place. Signed the log and then walked a few metres to the Petroglyphs and admired the carvings. Afterwards, played some dodgeball with some wayward golfers. TFTC Dodgers

I will check the cache this weekend.
