Hiding location has been destroyed. Thanks to all who found.

Found it!
This was a very quick find this afternoon after having a haircut close by.
Cache is very exposed because the bush it is under has lost all its leaves.
Picked up trackable.

This cache urgently needs maintenance as the bush it is under has lost all its leaves. It is completely in the open. I have covered with rotting leaves, however it needs moving rather than a quick rehide.

Disabling until I can check & maintain this cache.

This was to have been my 73rd find on my two day solo Newcastle raid, but it was not to be. It would appear that the recent council grass cutters may have taken it.

Found it and dropped off trackable

Nice spot tftc

Tftc. My first log.

Found after about 20minutes of searching with phone gps, nice hide, Found with WebbyHRT

Found it, nice area for walking. Thanks for bringing us here. Regards, Team AR2147, Germany

Big cache

Took a bit of finding but got it. Good one

What a lovely walk. Will have to walk to the other end sometime, just to see where it comes out.
It has been a very hot day ... over 36 degrees in the shade at home, so after some lunch and an afternoon nap it was time to venture out aroudn 4pm when it was a little cooler ... 26 degrees and go do some geocaching.
This cache was our first port of call for the day.
There has been some scrub clearing going on in this area so we feared for the cache, to no avail as we eventually found it hiding away.

ZIG Zag Zagged my way down the path,found easily,nearly skittled by a flying cyclist.Caching takes one into some great places,wonderful views from here.TNLNTFTC

Yay

always like walking along these tracks.

I have had this one on my gps for a long time and about 2 months ago I had a look at how to access GZ but didn't get a chance to have a look. Today was a great day so a early lunchwas in order as I went past here and a very nice wallk to gz was in order. spent a little time looking for the cache before finally spotting the hide. TFTC

Very nice walkways around here, muggle-joggers galore though and I got here on dusk. Nice big cache BTW, plenty of room for swag.

Amazing place didn't know it was here took golf ball tb left coke ball TFTC

Left Travel Bug and enjoyed the walk around green point! Thanks Macca!

I nice walk down here which Mrs C has done a few times but first time for me. Couldn't see the smiley face but could see the cache from the path. Nice cache full of goodies. TN left halpenny. Replaced and tried to cover it better bit there's not much grass here at the moment. Thanks macca1.

Good Friday is a perfect day for caching, especially in usually high muggle areas, new record today. Got sprung retrieving container but she was a friendly muggle, TFTC macca1!!

A bit of a struggle with this one, till I stepped over and kicked it.
Great walk.

Found at 9.00am GAFF3 in the company of Robmc. Another brisk walk - 3rd one for the day and it was just 9.00am! The bell birds were in full swing today. GPS was not co-operating and had us going up and down until eventually we took the bit by the teeth and went in to do a proper search.
Thanks macca1.

We walked down the well defined path, and eventually Zig-Zagged our way to GZ. The weather couldn't decide if it wanted us wet or dry. We weren't sure where you could hide a regular around here, but eventually Pprass found it.
We then continued down to the rainforest.
Thanks, Robmc.

Good hints and it was in hand TFTC

Nice stroll down the path, needed to use the hint as I couldn't spot the cache with in the torh light.

Thanks.

Unreal spot to take the geokids for scooter, see sun nature and log sum caches! TFTC

Last of 5 finds of a day out, mainly at Green Point Reserve.

Took us a while to work out the smiley face.

(12th Find)

Thanks for another great location. We are still amazed how you can't see something as obvious as a cache when it is right in front of you?!?

thanks for the find. grabbed the trackable.

Found with the family. TFTC SL left some swaps for the geokids.

Nice day for a walk along the lake. Thanks

This was our very first cache find
Took a soldier, left a doggy.

I remember when this zig zag bike track wasn't here and it was just a bloody steep hill to climb. TFTC left behind a soccer ball stress ball

found after a bit of a search took tb
tftc

We can see how this cache got its name! The only company we had was the bell birds all around us. TFTC.

Found the cache easily after a lovely walk in the bush. Left a travel bug!

After spending much time locating the access roads to this cache, when I was within 300mts my GPS told me I had a flat battery.
With no spares I thought I was to fail, but just managed to find and SL

Quick find on a pre-dinner cache hunt. Cache is in very good order.

First cache, great fun and a fantastic walk
Thanks macca1

Nice spot. Children swapped toy soldiers for wand and bath salts. tried to cover it more.

Very good Track to GZ.. hide well.. thank

What a great location, unfortunately its cover is wearing thin. SL, TNLN, TFTC.

found it pretty quickly, surprised it hasn't been muggled. Daughter gave it a good cover after swaps.

Our 4921st overall find.

This is a lovely walk in the bush and the cache was spotted easily as the grass is starting to die off over the cache. We tried to recover it as best we could before heading further down the hill.

Thanks to macca1 for the cache.

Walked on to find this one and walked up the hill and onto the bike track. Found cache nice and easily and SL. Lots of nice swaps took smilie sticker, ball and jet and left nail clippers, car and ice cooler. However, getting out of here was another thing - we took a wrong turn and took ages to get out - but finally after stepping in a pile of !@*$ left by someone - we were so glad to get back to the car. TFTC.

Found at 3:20pm, our fifth on an afternoon of picnicking and geocaching (as the school holiday finale). Although we have walked along the lower tracks previously, it was our first visit here - thanks!

Fantastic hide SL left wish stone took trinket TFTC

Tnftc sneaky hide

Another great walking track that only the locals seem to know about. Thanks for sharing it with us! The clue had me confused for a while, looking for a smiley face, but a very careful look eventually found it. Well hidden, nice cache with lots of goodies inside. TFTC

We really enjoyed this area and finding the caches along the path.

Reperio at 1700. Continued on our walk from 'Rainforest Boardwalk' through this wonderful area of bushland. We didn't complete the entire walk, although the this evening would have been perfect for it.

T - GC.

Gratias.

This was a lovely walk along a nice walkway. Once we got near to GZ we were a little puzzled with the clue but then we spotted a smile. The hide was really well done. Dropped off the DDRAMS GC and signed log. TFTC

Cycled along one of the best cycle ways in Newcastle from Warners Bay to Belmont collecting a few caches along the way. Great spot. Thanks for bringing me through here.

A short walk on a deserted path soon took us to GZ. The cache was quite well hidden despite its exposed location, we TN but left a smiley face. Thanks for this hide.

TFTC gret hide. Found the cache easily following the clue. TNLNSL

TFTC gr8 hide

Now back up we go after a quick find, but can see why its called zig-zag

Found on a 40 degree day not much cover over cache TNLNSL

Easy find not that well hidden, good sized container, well done. Really is to hot to be cashing today. TFTC.

Couldnt find on "pole" but we found the Cache thanks to great hints, Great Cache and a great hide.

Found it. number three for the day.

Didn't see a smiley face, but we DID manage to follow the other clues straight to this cache!

TFTC. Nice walk

We found an access point close to GZ. After checking some of the local property we headed down to GZ. Love the hide very effective. We enjoyed the walk TFTC macca1. [891]

Parked at the Ross St carpark, and went on a jaunt for this cache. Took a few wrong trails, which only increased our knowledge of the paths and trails through Green Point Reserve!
Left a few toys, TNSL TFTC

Took a bit of finding this one. The GPS was confused with all the tree cover but after a few back and forths it jumped out and grabbed us. Nice big cache with loads of swaps for the little ones

Thanks Cash Man for the more accurate coords.

Went for a walk down to Green Point today with Mini Cash Man.

A relatively easy find using the hint. Although the smilie face is impossible to see.

Thanks Macca
