Thanks cool box

Sneaky and shiny big box. Pretty easy.Cool container with the wires poking out.

Found with t_L_d02. Bit of a treck, but it was fun

my first large size find !! awesome

Amazing container. Left a tb found with Sueetjesse

Amazing container follow the fire trail dont climb the cliff. Found with Cjannaway

Drove partway up fire trail, short walk to cache Backed down, interesting, some slipping, lots of damp leaves!!! But enjoyed the cache. Dropped trackable

Great hide, vicious mozzies so come prepared. We loved the cache container.

Great hint and container, I found it straight away. TFTC!

Found the silver box, flight recorder,loved it, good hide thanks GeoMonkeys

So cool container in great shape. Thank you for this cache.

Thanks for the cache. Decided to go for a lovely evening walk and ended up here, oh what a hill.

Nice one TFTC

Fun little find in a beautiful spot. Steep climb up the trail so be warned.

After a brisk walk up the short but very steep hill, i came to rest opposite. Hmmm. Might try a bit further. That looks a lot better. Wandered over to gz, and there it was. Was expecting a field puzzle to get the log out, but surprise. Would like to come back one day, and walk these trails. TFTC.

Fun fact the black box is indeed not black

Not quite a large but A good find still. TFTC

We are on a five day holiday to the Central Coast, staying at the NRMA/Big4 Ocean Beach Holiday Resort (caravan Park) in Umina Beach. Looking to do some of the many Central Coast Adventure Labs, visit some previously solved Puzzle/Mystery cache GZs, and to collect any other caches we come across during our daily travels. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base.

Today we visited Empire Bay, Kincumber South, Avoca Beach, Copacabana, North Avoca, Terrigal, MacMasters Beach, Bouddi, and Killcare Heights. Completed two Adventure Labs, and partly completed another, and collected a variety of other caches, including an EarthCache, a MultiCache, and numerous Traditional caches. This was the 24th of 25 finds for the day (day 2), and 29th find of the holiday.

Stopped at this one on our way back from some walks in the Bouddi National Park, Parked the geomobile at the bottom of the very steep fire trail, then clambered up the incline to GZ. Quickly spotted the entombed Flight Data Recorder, err cache, and signed the log. TNLN, then replaced as found. I don't know about a Flight Data Recorder,, but it's a nice box whatever it was originally used for. TFTC P3sKy_Geomonkey.

Find #5536

Christmas Day is over and the weather has turned; cold wet and stormy!
First cache for a few days; great position and cache is in good order. We used to run up the hill when we were young!tftc

Out for a walk while staying for the weekend in the area. Windy, rainy day but rain held off for most of the walk. Found on the way back but phone was not to accurate but made a cool find in the wrong location before something caught my eye on the way back when I was having one last attempt to find. Bingo. Nice container.

Where's the plane? No great find
TFTC Wilbert67

First time in this area and really enjoyed the walk around. Did this cache on the way back for an easy find. Absolutely love the container! Thanks!

Found it. Such a great spot

Steep incline at first but kids and I did it. Fun and not too hard to find!

Heading up towards Gosford from Canberra for a friend's 21st and decided to make some stops along the way

Staying nearby at Ettalong Beach this was a short drive after dinner glad I have a 4WD which made getting up here even easier. After a quick stroll up to gz the large container was spotted. Cool container!

TFTC

Found it. Once again geocaching has taken me places that I thought i would never gone. TFTC geomonkeys.

We found it - scotia struggled up the hill tho.

Found in the rain with Dad and Samuel and the gang!

It was a pretty ordinary day today, with constant rain - we still had a great morning walking in the area with friends, we did get soaked though!
We arrived here at the front of the team, so while we waited, searched for this cache. Oliver spotted it from below. Great container, probably the best themed one I've seen - where can we get some?? Obviously everything was perfectly dry inside.... and fireproof too! FP added. TFTC!

After meeting with today's caching companions at a nearby cache, we made our way to this cache.
A quick find after I eventually made it up the hill.
TFTC

A convoy of us arrived at the start of the track up to the gate: Banj5150, Mighty Minions, lee737 with the rest of his team, and barefootjeff. Although the track is well-made of corrugated concrete in parts, it was rather slippery today because it was covered in wet leaves, and the rain was just adding to the overall poor traction. I noticed my ute slipping a bit, so I put it into 4x4, and then the ride up was no problem. Everybody else did the same. Alas, Banj5150 had only 2x4, and under those treacherous conditions his ute slipped somewhat awkwardly off the road (something that's happened to me, even in 4x4 once). Thus, the first part of our adventure started with a little recovery operation with a tow-rope and a 4x4. Soon everything was good again, and the second adventure of finding a cache or two could commence.

A fine hide in a very interesting container. We added our names to the log book before putting everything back as found. I have to admit, I never actually watched the programme LOST. But at least I can say that this cache has now been FOUND.

Found today before heading off to do Up The Mullian, in the rain. Had fun doing this cache!

TFTC Shifter Brains

So satisfying finding this! My first macro after taking the plunge with the subscription. Thanks for the hide.

Nice high bushland setting. Great box
Thanks for maintaining the cache

I was hooked on lost so I was happy to have a lost série for my 300 find and it did not disappoint. But yes better not to spoil the end hey!!!!!!! Fav point , I have to!!!

Quickie

Easy drive up if you have a fwd:)

Found. TFTC.

What a cache container !! Love it.....TFTC

**Total find count: 814**

We came here the interesting way. The roads are nothing like those in Sydney. I have no idea how some of these houses live on these steep slopes. But a different container from the everyday made for an interesting find.

Found with the stunning GeoBrat94 who will also find a new home for her first trackable! A stunning location...tftc

Found by GeoBrat94 -- tftc collected my first trackable 28-7-19

Off to Byron bay, the long, long way around!

Amazing cache after a sketchy drive up. First cache of the year with TeamScozzy! Left my very first trackable behind to make its way home!

Awesome cache! Found with RangerNed who dropped in his very first trackable. All while the geotoddler slept in the car. Our first cache for 2019! Thanks

Traveling South to a friends engagement party. we just had to stop for this cache. SL TNLN.Thank you very much for this cache, We had this cache on our list. We missed the trail on the first pass then had to do a 3 point turn. Just then a local in an expensive Merc arrived looked at our very dusty 4WD and decided to wait. We found the correct trail and Stopped just below GZ and wondered over to the Cache. Upon returning to the car we saw another car parked on the lower level. we have no idea what he or she were doing. If we have exposed this great cache to muggles we are truely sorry. We just didn't see or hear the other car till we returned to ours. Fav for a great cache

#5425 (2 of 10 today)

Too many days recently with only one find. I need to get the daily average up - can't have less than 1000 finds in 2018!
Decided to head up the Central Coast for some numbers, but just too tempting to not go for a nice bush walk.

Found ten and there were a few crackers in them - gave away three Favourites, all well deserved.
And as usual, the Frog knows when I'm away from my normal caching area and published some new ones close to home... still haven't found the tracking device he has on *The Hademobile*!

And cleverly tried signing a few logs 19 September - I think I corrected them all!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Hmmm, can I head up there in the car? Answer was probably "Yes" but I ended up parking in a safe spot a few hundred metres from the trailhead.

That initial climb is STEEP! Had me worried I'd not make it to the multi nearby.
Closed in on GZ (wondered on the best approach, but then it became obvious) and actually managed to spot it from the back. Relocated so I could make the grab.
Fascinating container, and surprisingly heavy.

Completed signing duties and replaced.
Onward and upward!

Sorry duplicate

One the way home from netball today I was telling my girls about trying geocaching. So no time like the present. Lots of fun exploring. My 8 year old was super stoked to find it.

Best cache ever tftc

TFTC. Loved the black box. 1st macro find

Good cache, nice view

Awesome place

A great day for a walk on a beautiful winter's morning. Thankfully the find was much quicker than watching the series. Much better these days when you can binge watch these shows.
TFTC GeoMonkeys

Decided on a last minute after school geocache hunt. Successful find & trade in the beautiful autumn sun. TFTC

After a bit of trepidation getting car up track we walked geodog and found yon box. I watched most of the series, enough to get the gist and keep wondering as well.
Clever cache
See Baktrak's athletics

Went searching for this mysterious box with MummyPenny today. The good news for the survivors is that we found it and their fate is sealed. The bad news is that, well, um, they're um ...
Yes, I sat through six seasons too. Could it have ended any other way?
We signed and resealed but then a cloud of swirling black smoke drifted out of the box. I tried a long jump into it but it vanished just as quickly. Or did I?
Namaste.

Was out today with my bushwalking club. This one the group didnt go past, it continued down the tar road, while I ran up the hill to grab this cache. A quick find of a nice sized cache. SL and then ran to catch up with the group TFTC

We were out and about finding caches and this was one we found. What a great spot for a cache. We made it almost a driveby by going up the track next to the house with 23 letterbox. The houses in this area have a fantastic view. We tipped the water out of the flight recorder box. The other container with the log book was dry. Retrieved the TB to move on. Deserves a favourite for bringing us to a lovely area. Nice to see how the other half live. TFTC

Found the cache and left a tb passenger. Beautiful location and great cache tftc

Nice spot thanks for bringing us here. Maybe the quick walk up and spotted pretty quickly. TFTC

Kids were super excited. They feel like pirates. TFTC

Found with stephanniiee123

Nice one, thanks.

Really loved the cache. Brilliant idea. After a little rock hopping we were CIH. TFTC.

Found with ChelseaBuns, Nala and mum. Great cache Tftc. We drove as far up as possible Lol.

Such a great show! Well done. Wear spray.

Found with Slothlover123 and TZooz.
A few friends and myself holidayed on the nearby street over new years this year and pounced on the chance for a quick cache!
Beware of mozzies!!! Nearly got eaten alive signing the log.
TFTC!!

Attempted to drive to GZ with no luck parked at the bottom and walked. Spotted easily. Fun cache. #jC

Another beautiful sunny day so I headed out this way.
I parked the car out on Wards Hill Rd and walked the Daleys Point track in.
A quick find once i got to GZ. [^]
I grabbed the TB's inside.
Thanks for the cache.

Our second cache of the weekend, and another quality GeoMonkeys hide. Drove right up to GZ and spotted the cool container from the car. When we win the lottery, I think we might move to this area! Left a couple of TB's, and that's another fav point. TFTC!
Cheers,

Day 2 The Entrance.
Today we headed south of Gosford to Pretty Beach & return. Covering the ocean to the bushland.
Such a big variety of hides & caches found.
This was quiet an adventure driving up towards the cache. A very large container found.
Worth a favourite point.
Thanks for placing this cache GeoMonkeys

Back as team novo today tackling some more local GCs! Another great GM themed hide reminding us of why we love this game. TFTC!!

Very creative!

Found after going to "Up with the Mullian" to look for my lost GPS using a 4 meter stick with a hook on it managed to retrieve it, then headed to this one as it was close to may parking spot. Excellent container, all in good condition. No mozzies today. TFTC

Went hunting with Jerp. Loved the themed approach. Just the right level of difficulty, and an interesting find. All in good condition. TFTC.

#4 Really enjoyed this one. Good hide!

Our second find! Brilliant and easy and I like how you created a very real flight recorder!

Found with Lance91 and geo-dawgs a while ago, getting around to logging it now liked the size of cache, tftc

Christmas. Family. Boxing Day Sales ... yep, I went caching. I am in search of Larges so as to tick a final goal for 2015 and the opportunity arose to take the olds for a drive in this area (they lived here when I was a wee grasshopper - the area has somewhat changed in the last 40 years). Of course, I took the chance to nab this one - just one. Having checked out the bridges nearby, and the amazing waters, this road was, umm interesting, and I was glad I could make a quick find as the parking job was a bit ordinary. A lovely day, and a lovely cache to mark it for me.
Turns out it was the last one for the trip thanks to the rain.
Thanks for placing this cache, GeoMonkeys. Found in good condition.

Nice place! Great container! Found it totally exposed in open air. Not sure if it meant to be or muggle activity happened. Anyway, I hid it a bit more. Thanks GeoMonkeys
#362 ??

Found with TOMBI!. Parked near locked gate and followed track to GZ. Nice views along the way and at the cache. TFTC

Nice easy find on my morning bush run. Great cache. Actually looks like it could be from a plane. Heaps of rubbish around. Will come back and clean up. TFTC

Wow what a unique cache, great spot with no muggles. Memorable as this is our 50th cache find

Great spot lovley view clue metal box

That was fun! Our very first find!

That was fun! Our very first GC

Great cache!

4wd takes you to the back door!
Barack box rocks - albeit in a shiny way.

Round 2 of our Sundeel treasure hunt.

Initially we were looking for a track close to a place to park our car and then found the track, which started off as a driveway.

At the GZ the rescue crew found the lost flight data recorder relatively quickly and saved the day.

Signing duties done we stashed the cache and re-camo the sight. TFTC

Our first find! I didn't even know this place was here and we live down the road
