pretty quick and easy. not quite sure how there are so many dnf's. anyway, got right under the structure then turned around and was staring at it! great little container. TFTC!!!
The rain stopped so we when out for a find and grandma wanted to do some bird watching being a wetlands nearby. See saw a variety of feathered fiends and will becoming back will her full kit as she heard the call of something a little rare.
Had a nice walk along the foreshore and saw some other nice dogs.
Spied the general location of GZ and as we got closer the right area to search became a little more obvious. A little bit of the search and CIH. SL

seems to be quite a busy little jetty today. A lot of people working around so couldn't search to much.
After all this time, I am still only 3rd to find! Whoo.
as everyone before me has said, you need to look a little harder and think a little more before abandoning this to a DNF.
having said that, i put my hand on it first place i chose to look.
I sat and watched a family of ducks go past, there were at least 12 babies, and the parents were a little frantic trying to get them all to go in the same direction. then I saw a fairly large crab scuttling along in the shallows so i watched it till a boat made waves and scared the crab into the deeper water.
very little sand to get down on this time, but if you choose the tide right you'll be fine.
thanks for the cache, i took out a AA battery as i fear that given the time between finds, the battery may corrode and leak in this salty environment.
fun cache in an awesome place, i think i saw a few Quintrex's whilst here.

Judging from previous logs,and extensive looking,cache is lost 
great view and kids park nearby.

No luck, we were all over and under it.When we saw that the last few entries were DNF's aswell we called it quits.
Our only DNF for the day, looking at previous logs I would say it's gone

We were down the Central Coast for a weekend of caching. This is a lovely area - thanks for bringing us here. We passed a couple of "locals" drinking out of their brown paper bags and headed over towards GZ. We searched the area three times, getting down and sandy but came up empty handed.
Well hidden, great to find! Need to get down on the knees and keep the head down for this one. Good one Quintrex4! 
At last, an FTF to the Fishes, although it was only 3km from home. At this time of day you have to avoid the crowd of drinkers, why do they have to wrap their beer in brown paper? The cache was not easy to spot and may prove difficult when there is more sea than shells. No room for swappables, so TNLN. Thanks for the hide quintrex4, I wonder if you work nearby?
