Not even with some info from a relatively recent past finder.... I gave this thing a good going over too.... a CO check would be appreciated.

Have been here before, I was chased away quiet quickly today by the swarm of mozzies. It would be nice if the CO could give a hint to lessen the time spent being drained of vital fluids

A relatively quick find, signed the log and continued walking around the pond to the next one. TFTC

After being bitten coopious times we stopped searching. A hint would have been nice considering the amount of annoying mosquitoes

Good day for caching today! Parked in Floribunda at the 'Wetlands' sign & set off down the pathway. Saw some very small baby waterfowl, how cute! Many ducks, a very big gander with his goose. Got to GZ and started the hunt. Finally found (about 3m out by my GPSr). SL TFTC shrieking_eels

Found with Banj Ward TFTC

Found with Beary_Unicorns on a sunny Sunday afternoon, just Miss Unicorn

Had looked for this one over a year ago, but it wasn't one I was in a hurry to find. Nice area in winter because there weren't any mozzies around. Took a little bit of a search but found without any hassles. TFTC!!! #1497

Thankfully, a light breeze and the time of day ensured the area was mozzie free for my visit. That, I appreciated... I also lucked in on the find, putting my hand on the container in the first place I looked. That, I also appreciated... [^]

I made use of the nearby bin to sort out the business end of things, before tucking the cache back in place and heading off in search of another.

Cheers shrieking_eels.

A nice quick find once you got pass the mosquitos attacking you, a nice place to visit if you weren't being eaten alive by mosquitos. The hint no longer matches as the container has been repainted. Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here.

found it with Aussieben with a gps which decided to play up only because we were swamped by a 1000 mozzies wow never seen a place this bad
TFTC

Found with the aid of a stick. Also found someone's 'Wednesday' undies. Glad I came on a Saturday! Nice peaceful spot, except for the odd honking of a waterfowl.

Nice hide

Wasn't sure about this one. Had been over 12 months since last find, but aha!!. TFTC

Sneaky little hide , glowing red duck eyes a bit creepy though

After a good 30min search could not find. Will come back another day and try again.

My son and I decided to head out for a morning of geocaching to make sure we got the Goodbye 2015 souvenir. I have been here at least twice and my son once. This time we parked on the more main road and walked down the winding path to the cache. I looked in all the same places and it was just there. Wow! So glad to have finally found it. Cache in very good condition, inside and out.
Thanks for the walk and once again replacing the cache!

Lovely afternoon walk around pond
Smells like something died nearby

Went for a walk during lunch time and found this one. TFTC

Replaced and ready to go again.

After 3 previous DNFs on this one, we didn't really expect to find it, so weren't disappointed when we didn't.

Do I just have bad luck here? Last time I looked it was missing and it seems it could be the same again?

Couldn't find it after heaps of searching. Hasn't been found for 6 months so suspect cache might have gone astray??

Not Found. Wasted too much time and literally too many hiding spots with GPS all over the place.

Easy find today then had to sit and wait for muggles to leave that were walking around the lake before replacing cache. TFTC

Mmm don't know if it is a medium size one, but is a nice spot for it good cache

Came with my geo niece & nephew. We fed the ducks and eels, played on the equipment but they only were happy with a 2min hunt. *sigh*

8678 + 999 = 9677. Found during my visit to Newcastle this weekend.

After todays Event I hitched a ride with wombatatcrows (and mr roo) to continue our caching run. This was the next stop. A quick search the cache was found. Signed, returned and moved on to the next one. An appropriate cache to do while the Knights were giving a touch up to the Eels nearby !!

Thanks shrieking eels !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

6483 Found with team Bob (grimraider, kittykatch ACtChill and DarzeeDi) on a trip up to Port Stephens. Had a great fun caching. Did two events. Met up with alot of lovely people and I even did a night cache.

Not really a regular but a quick find on a lovely lake TFTC

Found with mr roo 300814 and Fitzl

Easy peasy!!!! Found it but no tb bummer!!!!

Found, I don't think it is a regular

TFTC!! Loved this spot. Even though we did this one at night, it was still so peaceful.

I've put a replacement out.

Shrieking mozzies maybe, but no cache could I find.

After dancing in the H2 0hhh I thought this one would be a quick save. Unfortunately I spent just as much time here with the same result. GPSr didn't help, at different points in time it said the cache was at every corner of the shipping container. Still cant believe I couldn't find a regular size container!

This is number 50 for me. Thanks for the cache.

Good cache in a very nice area.

Our three man team set off in the morning, with Sandwichhman,
Cccritter7 and I keen for a 43km ride full of caches.After
heading from Lambton through the Uni, we came out at Warabrook,
picking up caches along the way. However, trouble started
when Cccritter7's chain snapped. This put an end to our great
plan of heading up to Ash Island, then Kooragang, Stockton,
Newcastle, then back home. This was unfortunate, and we
slowly made our way back to Ccritter7's. We then managed
to get another bike, and headed through Jeso Bush to find
a few more. We then stopped off at Hungry Jack's to refuel
on our way to Maryland. We took a break at Sandwichhman's,
refuelling, then Cccritter 7 and I headed off to find some
of the Maryland caches. We then headed back to Wallsend,
picking up a few multi's, then heading slowly up McCaffrey
Drive. We split ways, and our 35km bike ride/GeoCaching
adventure had finished.

Thanks for the cache Shrieking Eels.

I have been to Warabrook a few times but never knew this area existed.

As the previous log stated the lid was off. After signing the log we placed the lid back on and put it back.

TFTC

Nice little area this is, well what we could see in the dark with torches. Headed in first once again for spider duty, man these guys were everywhere!!!
Located the cache with the lid off, signed and placed everything back in. TFTC

Easy find at a peaceful place on a lovely sunny winters day. Cache was easily found as it was lying out in the open with lid off. Replaced lid and returned to its hide. TFTC

Quick cache with a nice view

Easy find. Had no pen to sign the log though. Tftc

Second attempt, must have been muggled when I was here last, this certainly is a pretty place although a bit rainy today, needed one for my 366 day matrix, now 360 of 366, only 6 days to go, TFTC shrieking eels!!

Working nearby and needing a cache to keep the streak going before I drove back to Sydney picked this easy but very scenic one. Lovely place to stop and unwind thanks for bringing me here. TFTC

Thanks for the cache! Tnln. Tftc.

Found this one while out for the afternoon with muggle brother to pick up a few caches.
What a great place the ducks were coming up to see what we were doing while searching around.
The cache was found after a couple of minutes and log signed ok. Sat still and was not even noticed by 2 muggles and the dog walking past.
Thanks to shrieking eels for sending us to this wonderful place.

Found it. Awesome find and great day for it. TFTC

not bad

The places Geocaching takes you! Never knew this spot existed!!! Arrived at GZ and had a look for around 10mins. Realised that we were looking in the wrong place so went back to the ipad and saw that the cache was in another spot! Looked at the spot and retrieved the prize! TFTC

Found this cache while on holidays. More like a Shrieking Swan when there at night.TFTC. Cheers

Quick find on a night time hunt.
SL TFTC

Love the area

nice spot TFTC

Tclc

Tftc geo gf found it

Had heard about his place but never taken the time to visit. What an excellent asset for the neighborhood. If I worked in this area I'd be down here in my lucnh hour just chilling out. After a short but pleasant walk GZ was soon established and once the GPS settled the cache was soon in hand.
Took cocky, left halfpenny. Thanks for the experience Shrieking Eels (even though we didn't see or hear any).

Came for a lovely walk along the path and looked everywhere but it didn't turn up. One of the land care workers walked past and wondered what we were up to, he pointed us in the direction of where the old cache must have been and it wasnt there. Him and the other workers knew of its existance but it must have since been muggled or its hide was just too good for us today. Anyway, nice views and nice area.

Found on lunchtime wander from work and 3rd attempt! First time the GPS had me up the hill, second time I was just blind ( could have sworn I looked there ) and now finally got it

This was the cache that let me discover this park - I work right nearby and had no idea. Thanks for that.

Mind you, I remember the area as the abattoir across from Uni and still have problems distinguishing Eau de Abattoir ( warm summer evenings ) and Eau de Cabbage ( Edwards Hall kitchen )

Muggled cache has been put back where it belongs, and log has been replaced.

Didn't have time to log as I went as per usual. Was pushing to get as many done before I had to see family.

well its still there. I left one of my 'cybermew3' tags inside

Found it after a couple minutes of searching (and getting bitten by mozzies). No logbook to be found, nor any of the trackables. Only a couple things left in the cache. Not sure what's happened.
TFTC, first one found in NSW.

Hmm no luck this afternoon!

It was pitch black by the time Toriaz and I walked the meandering path down to this cache. It was very quiet and eerie. We saw no wildlife but we found the cache in the first place I looked. Thanks

I'm glad bikerbuddy found this one quickly because it was a bit spooky in the dark.

Thanks

Found while out caching with spikeymikey who had found this previously and he informed me that someone had moved it from it's original hiding spot.

We have never been to Warabrook and didn't realise it would be largely industrial despite the huge lake. A very short walk showed us GZ and a partially uncovered cache. The local landcare group had already written in the log so knows about the cache. We took the GCoin, thanks for the hide in a nice place.

Lovely cool day today as really nice stroll to gz as easy see show cache uncover, very lucky.. then hide well put cover it.. look ok... thanks

Another great spot for a cache, with all the birds, ducks and eels.
It was a quick find for the geokid 2 while I took in the vista.
TFTC TFTH

The wetlands look like they've had plenty of TLC and are looking great. A quick find and on to the next. Thanks shrieking eels.

4935. [font=Century Gothic][green]Still wondering what the glowing red led light is doing just right of the cache and about 5-6 feet up on the wall. Hopefully the container is still there as I simply had to push it.

Lovely spot. Took golden eagle. TFTC

I've been to this part a few time before for other caches, but never tire of coming here. An oasis in suburbia.
Cache found without difficulty.
Left TB eagle. Left Cockatoo keyring, took red car. SL TFTC

Great secluded spot. Have to bring the rest of the family here another time.

Lovely spot for a walk, nice quick find today with no one about. Wind was howling today so the gizzmo in the pond looked like it was about to blow a gasket. TFTC.

nice spot found with a little looking .only one trackable hamster hes going a little bit north to check out the beach real soon. TFTC

TFTC. What a nice spot and a nice easy find though all 3 trackables are MIA.

That's 6 missing so far today.

Left Hampster trackable and took pen.

No eels today, just a couple of dogs barking and a bunch of teenagers on skateboards.

It has been some time since we popped for a cache but the weather was in our favour today..We did have to go and buy some bread to feed the ducks while we waited for the mower man to move away before we could locate the cache..Young Tamykian signed the log and we left the ducks quite content that would be very full.

thanks for the hide

Tamykian

Few muggles walking past today didn't see any TBs in cache TNLNSL

Nice spot no muggles as it was a bit wet. No TBs in cache SL TFTC.

Found it this morning whilst on a early morning walk before starting work. I love walking in this park, the birds, the wind gadget on the lake and most of all the trees.

Left bright coloured mechanical pencil and trackable (lost keys) took cache critter (moo coin).

left the kids to play on the equip
and took a walk for this one

nice hide

good to see a full size cache

fattyacid and family

Reperio at 1345. Finished work for the day and headed off to grab this one as it wasn't too far away. Once parked, I found a good access point and enjoyed the walk to GZ where the cache was soon spotted. This is a nice little spot to walk along, and I'm sure, sit and relax for a while.

Gratias.

Dropped off Moo Geocoin.

nice spot here TFTC

I didn't have much time today between work, football and my daughters 18th party so went for a quick find, luckily I had this one before the mossies attacked and I was on my way. Great spot.

Thanks.

What a "Premium" spot to come to.
Enjoyed the stroll, and squashed a few mossies.
TNLN Thanks Shrieking Eels.

A pleasant spot where I had some lunch. I knew where the cache would be and I looked there first up. Fail.

10 mins later and a few more mouthfuls of lunch then an ice coffee. Another look at position 1.

Success. Don't you hat that when you don;t look properly. Clear skies!

Our 4906th overall find.

Today's date was another one on the calendar that had to be marked off and this cache was our next nearest to home so it was the one I did today. I found a park on the street and took a short wander down the cache and found its hiding spot quickly. It was a nice hide and a good area. I never knew this area existed. I had to make a quick exit before I was eaten alive my mozzies.

What a lovely location. I left half of me behind (with the mossies) just so that I could enjoy it for longer.
The rest of me signed the log. Shame the special 'NSW Maps TB' that I was carrying wouldn't fit in. A premium cache would have been a great place to leave it for you Novocastrians. (Left it in Convict Bathe instead).
TFTC. No TB inside, as previously mentioned.

We had been here before looking for another cache, but were on the other side of the waterway. We parked about 100m away from the cache and enjoyed a nice walk down a winding path. This is a lovely spot - thanks for bringing us here. We got a bit of a fright from a few water birds prior to getting close to GZ. After a quick search we found the great hiding place. There was no GC in the cache despite one being listed. TNLNSL TFTC

What a nice little spot!!!
Had a look for this one this morning when 2 muggles out for there walk decided to stop near to Gz for a chat.
I went for a bit of a walk myself while i waited for them to leave but they just didn't want to go so i decided i would come back later for this one.
In the mean time i got a bit of a tip from team_stevens on where to look and on returning later on the cache was found quickly..
SL with the help of the local mozzies. TFTC and left my calling card.
No geocoin in the cache.
