Either the coordinates are extremely off or it is gone because where GZ is it certainly not there anymore... Especially when the past like 10 people haven't found it!
Thanks for bringing us here anyway! Smile
 
16-Nov-12
People.
I found it last year 12m from GZ at approx
S33°50.632 E151°17.102
However I don't think you should go there as it involves climbing a fence and getting close to the cliff edge, and it seems to be off limits to the public.
Consequently I'm going to request this cache be archived as it seems to have been abandoned by the owner. A reviewer can make a decision about it.
If archived, this would allow a better cache to be placed near this great location.

A great day for a coastal walk, pity I was yet another cacher to log a DNF. Any chance the CO can check it ?
 
07-Oct-12
7/10/12. After finding World Cache up the road, Yelyac & I wanted one more. Bad choice this one. We had little hope, after reading the past logs, and searched rocks and ledges in a fairly wide area. Might need a check I think.
 
06-Oct-12
Long line of dnf maybe the owner should check on it.
 
15-Aug-12
DNF day... 1 of 5 caches.... >(
 
26-Jul-12
Had a quick look around, but possibly was looking at the wrong rocks ...didn't turn up anything today =(
 
22-Jul-12
Will come back again, maybe will come back another day, lots of Police around today, path closed further along Sad
 
04-Jul-12
I'm not sure about this one. Referred to the log about the security light, found that, and looked under every possible rock ledge. No cache. If it is indeed in that area, it looks like they really don't want people in there. It is fenced off and taped off.
 
Started to become increasingly frustrated throughout the day as every cache we went to, we couldn't seem to find. Even those with a very low difficulty level. Pretty sure we were in the right place based on other logs ("security cameras led me to GZ" and "the area is closed off"), but after a quick search in the pouring rain in the obvious places that the clue would suggest we got frustrated with being saturated and gave up. Oh well, will have to watch these and try again when we're back this way if they are indeed being found again.
 
27-May-12
Great spot!! Indeed, cords are way off. Found it after reading the previous logs, the one about the sec. camera. It does look like this area is closed off. Log too wet to write on!
TFTC
 
26-May-12
Coord. As previous cachers mentioned are way out. It is more east. Found without GPS. The previous hint with security camera guided shootingstar72 to GZ.
Cache needs maintenance. It's all wet. Nice spot nevertheless.
TFTC.
 
24-May-12
while locating this one lots of police and helicopters everywhere. Needed to explain that I was not going to jump as they looked for another customer down below
 
24-May-12
Was an easy find bumped into some fellow cachers at the same time.
 
20-May-12
What a gorgeous spot
Log book a bit damp but managed to sign ok
Thanks for bringing me to gorgeous place

Found out using coords from earlier log. It is on an area that is fenced off for Bush regeneration.
 
24-Apr-12
Great spot for a cache! Made a lot of pics in the area and had no troubles finding the container out of sight from all the muggles! Content is still very damp unfortunately and needs some maintenance.

Too many muggles... Sad
 
14-Apr-12
Notebook very wet and container half full of water... Emptied it out as best as I could! Nice!
 
10-Apr-12
Found the cache after a small search. Great view. Log and container very wet. TFTC
 
05-Apr-12
This took a while even with the alternate co-ordinates - which are a better fit. TFTC
 
02-Apr-12
Out for a recon of The Mattens with Baktrak and were close by.
The co-ords for this are way out and hadus looking completely the wrong place. The last log was very helpful.
The cache was full of water and the log is very damp. Managed to SL.

02-Apr-12
This was very close to the veteran that PPE and I just found and an irrestable quick one, or so we thought. After searching for too long by torch and phone light, we consulted the earlier log and moved further east than the hint might suggest. PPE soon had it then. An iconic spot to visit, TFTC.
 
25-Mar-12
We eventually found this after a long search. The original coordinates were a fair way off and the revised ones put us out in mid air.
I'm not sure whether this is s good hide as I don't think you are supposed to be where the cache is. Basically you need to go off the track where the pole holding the security light is.
My set of coords are
S33°50.632 E151°17.102
The cache was quite wet inside and our brief attempts to dry it out weren't that successful.
Anyway I logged it and rehid it.
This really is a most spectacular site so thanks for making it a bit more of an adventure.
 
06-Mar-12
Found it at 11:30 at night. Very eerie feeling :/
 
04-Mar-12
80 meters from the cache I was stopped by police Sad
 
24-Feb-12
Second look at original co-ords, but no find. Went to alternate co-ords but couldn't get to the area without climbing over the fence that said not to climb it, and with CCTV everywhere, I have left it for another time. Cheers.
 
23-Feb-12
Visiting from the UK with my brother,came on the ferry to Watson's Bay and waited for the muggle traffic to pass before attempting the cache. Had read the logs last night, so was equipped with the alternative cords posted, which made for an easier find. Great views, logged through 2 trackables, thanks for the hide.

Nice views around cache.. thanks. J-LEST-TEAM
 
09-Feb-12
This one took some searching. The coords had me about 40 feet on the other side of the trail. Since it was my first find of the day I didn't give up and the hint helped me get there. I didn't see the Geocoin listed in the inventory but I may have missed it since there was some other swag in the cache. TFTC

Try these coords. S 33 50.631 E 151 17.102
 
05-Feb-12
Took 2 attempts to find this, needed the updated coordinates which a previous cacher posted. Cache was quite waterlogged which is strange because the container seems quite secure. I tried to dry the stuff out a bit in the sun while I signed the log. T4TC!
 
30-Jan-12
Sad i spent ages here as I remembered there were new co-ordinates noted, but infuriatingly, I'd forgotten to bring them. I'm wondering now if I was at the wrong level? Great spot. TFTC!

Ajl47401 did the dirty work of looking through the bushes while I did muggle patrol and enjoyed the scenery. We took a TB and left 5 we brought with us from Bloomington, Indiana USA.TFTC!

We are just in from Indiana on our first vacation in Australia. Out with skp46 on a nice trip over to Watson's Bay for a short walk and some lunch. This place is a real feast for the eyes, especially on a beautiful summer day. Beautiful views of the harbor. Picked up a TB here and dropped 5 caches brought over from the States. These TB guys should get some interesting travels in the days ahead! TFTC!

Found the cache during a visit to Sydney after a nice ferry ride over from the Quay. Dropped off a travel Bug but took nothing. Great location. TFTC.
 
09-Jan-12
took a little bit of effort since i got half of the old coordinates and half of the new ones. figured out my follies. found the cache soon after. TFTC!!!

QEF after an awesome lunch at nearby Doyles. Had brother and sister in law with us, and sister in law very dubious about the nerd level of geocaching !!!

Logbook is very damp. Needs drying or replacing.

TFTC - amazing views from this walk.
 
26-Dec-11
found with Jackathol, could have take a bit but once nothing turned up at coordinates a quick look around at likely hides revealed the cache.

New Coordinates should be in the listing (they are spot on - although with a bit of sensibility people will find it anyhow) and logbook is soaked.

TFTC this is a great spot been here before and married across the gap just wasn't a cacher back then either.

Nice cache! Went down to the Gap to enjoy the start of the Sydney to Hobart race with my aunt, cousin (Beaverfox) and roommate, so we threw in some caches to find for good measure! Great day Smile
 
26-Dec-11
Nice find during the Syd to Hobart. Log book very damp so aired it out as we watched the race with LloydDownUnder. Plenty of muggles
 
26-Dec-11
Definitely needs maintenance, the log book was pretty damp and the plastic baggie was ripped. Tried to air out the log book for a bit.
 
19-Dec-11
Nice hide, tftc
 
11-Dec-11
during afternoon caching tour in the eastern subs. I always enjoy the views towards CBD and the walk along the cliffs. Tour ended unfortunately at Randwick Hospital after getting a branch of a tree into the eye. So keep in mind don't walk and luck on the GPS Display. Luckily it only hurts but was not so serious, now after three days more or less no problems. Could even fly to Singapur on monday. TFTC
 
10-Dec-11
Time was short as we had to catch a ferry. After seeing last log, realised it was somewhere else so that probably accounted for that. Tfth. cheers

Found with a Mad Russian! Super views from up here!

Found at 11.30am GAFF3. What a wonderful location - one of the best in Sydney. We really loved the area especially after being in the Blue Mountains and the bush for a week - what a contrast!
Pity about the cache though. It has been muggled, it is wet, exposed and about 11 metres from GZ. We removed the offensive drawings (quite a good representation actually) and tried to cover it up as best we could. Also included some corrected co-ords to stop cachers rummaging through the garden area.
Thanks Cache to Cache.

Awesome day at Watsons Bay! Found a cache and a big beautiful blue tongue next to it! Thank you so much for the cache!
 
07-Nov-11
Watsons bay in one of the more impressive scenic view in my eyes, i love the entry of port jackson, you can feel the size if a big country and of the pacific ocean. Wonderful. Tftc
 
05-Nov-11
Stunning spot. Used the alternative coordinates which were spot on. Lovely place!
 
28-Oct-11
Coordinates are slightly off. Intro'd a fam of newbies to geocaching. We spent a bit of time hunting around for this one. It was especially hard because they didn't know what they were looking for! Was a lovely day for it. TFTH.
 
27-Oct-11
Our 5546th overall find.

We eventually found the cache but only by using the coordinates supplied by a previous cacher. S 33 50.631 E 151 17.101 It would be great if the cache could be updated.

Thanks Cache to Cache for the cache.

Found with Big Matt and Shell during an early evening run around the eastern suburbs.

This was quite a busy little spot this afternoon but after a short search we found it.

#347 I totally loved the views from here. Both looking out to sea, and back to the harbor. Found the cache using the alternative coords provided by other cachers. Thanks for taking me here. TFTC!
 
22-Oct-11
As mentioned in previous logs, the coordinates are a bit off.
It took a while to locate the cache, but all the muggles passing by had no idea about what we were doing.
 
19-Oct-11
Some really great views from here, unfortunately there were muggles about all the time, I blame the great views myself...

We found the cache a good 6m east of where the GPSr wanted us. Thanks CtC.
 
06-Oct-11
Stunning view. I battled a bit, so used the co-ords in a previous log a viola.

SmileNice view.

Great cache with amazing view's and rich history. After being stuck for 5 mins I read recent logs and found K-Romer's co ordinate's which made finding the cache a lot easier (S 33 50.631 E 151 17.101) Cache was soon spotted, log signed and I was off on another adventure,
TFTC Smile

After grabbing a FTF nearby, it was advantageous to visit here and try to find this cache. What a spectacular morning and view. I have worked in Sydney for more than 30 years and had never visited this spot before and sat back and appreciated the glorious view. Thanks Cache to Cache for your cache.

29-May-11
I too found that the co-ords were out slightly, but used ones below and they seemed to be spot on. Another thing I noted was that the log was slightly damp, not wet, just a little damp and may need looking at soonish.
All that said, the views from the cache were quite spectacular and I enjoyed they hunt for this one.
Thanks for bringing me here.
