If only... The cache was here, came here and didn't find anything with about 6 pairs of eyes looking, which almost confirms this cache is no longer here. Great spot though, deserves a cache, hope it gets replaced

It was dark and the ocean was loud and scary but the cache was still found. Interesting was the different colourations between each rock. Shame the coal wasn't still in the ground. Tftc tnln

Mothers Day... Lots of muggles. Great clues. Not too hard but had to use girl eyes. Yay. Goekids safe.
 
08-May-13
After my first attempt at Geo Casheing failed dismally due to me not bringing along my phone, and the toddler wanting to launch himself off the cliff, I sent him off to childcare and tried again!
YAY! Think this is the start of an addiction!
Took the dino, left Lisa.
thanks Horseybunch!
 
07-May-13
This was a great place for lunch but we had already had that at the Birubi Beach café, another superb location in Anna Bay. Once 2 dog walkers were gone we were soon at GZ and looking at a likely bit of camo. Thanks for the hide in an excellent location.

We ventured toward Nelson Bay with DiMorgan for a good day of caching. The weather was overcast but quite pleasant. We had a list of caches to wanted to find and this was one of them. This is such a scenic part of the coast which makes caching most enjoyable.
Thanks to horseybunch.
 
14-Nov-12
We have spent the day geocaching with Liz & Bruce. Headed to beautiful Nelsons Bay where we saw
wonderful beaches, sand dunes & crystal blue water. Found many caches along paths & trails. A very successfull day of caching.
Thanks horseybunch

Found at 10:03 AM GAFF5 in the company of Phetlern. Third cache of the day in our clean up Port Stephens - again! campaign. The sea was quite wild this morning, but there was a clear and lovely sky promising a great day.
Thanks horseybunch
 
29-Aug-12
In Port Stephens again this week to pick up a few caches.
Number three today. This was an easy find and just out of sight enough to avoid passing muggles. However, it was found by muggles a couple of months back and they logged their visit and replaced it!
Thanks horsey bunch. TN left 1943 halpenny.

Thanks for such a great location for our 200th find.

Left: red pen, 2 x AA batteries, and a stretchy grub.

Reperio at 1150.

Stopped by on a little tour of Nelson's Bay today, and what a fantastic spot! Wandered over to find the cache slightly exposed, and once the logging duties were done, I had to stop for a few minutes to enjoy the wonderful view and the feel the sea breeze.

Gratias horseybunch.

Thanks for the cache. As visitors from Chicago, Illinois USA we really appreciate caches that are placed so visitors can find them. We have enjoyed the area and have made interesting side trips because of caching.
 
02-Dec-11
Took the long difficult way to enjoy the scenery.
 
29-Nov-11
Certainly a lovely spot and could have sat at the table for a while taking in the scenery, but it was getting late and time for dinner. Thanks horseybunch.

Pushed through some shocking weather and found it. Lovely spot.
 
25-Sep-11
Needed to get out and do something so did a drive out here. Sat in the car with the rain pouring down trying to pluck up the courage to go and find it. Finally put on the wet weather gear and retrieved it. Signed in the car and returned. Dropped Magnifying Glass TB.

Nice view, nice place. If only .....! We had the place to ourselves, apart from a few muggles who walked by just after we parked. The cache was found easily - sadly the great 'decorations' on the container are starting to fall off. We watched a spear fisherman in the nearby water with the biggest flippers we have ever seen. He didn't seem to catch anything though. TNLNSL TFTC

Got to GZ but a young couple were sitting there feeding the baby. Seen a whale so went back to the car and we went around the corner and ended up seeing about 5 whales. Went back to grab cache, the couple were just leaving. Had cache logged in no time.

Boy you Horsey Bunch get around! Lovely spot. We stopped into grab this one on the way home from a great day out at The Bay. It gave us the chance to daydream about the pre children days when we lived in a beach side pad here. TFTC Smile
 
23-Jul-11
drove almost to GZ, out we jumped. No rain (give it a minute!) but bucket-loads of wind!!!

luckily for us no one had an umbrella otherwise a Mary Poppins impersonation would have been a happening!

quick find, enjoying a nice view even in the rain that came.

If only I realised the *FTF* was up for grabs on this cache I would have headed here first in the morning. Luckily I updated the GPS the night before heading up this way for the day and this cache was in the update as I was just getting the next cache along the coast and I was suprised when I opened the log book to see a blank FTF page. Great location and I like the decoration on the container.

Thanks Horseybunch.

After dropping a family member off at the airport we decided to grab a couple of caches. This is one of the few remaining in the Bay area. Great spot to visit and a quick find. TNLNSL TFTC horseybunch. [1081]

Thought I had a FTF but "someone" hadn't yet posted a log from this morning. Still great spot. TFTC
 
16-Jul-11
Easy find beautiful spot got here at 11:15am but missed the ftf by 3 hours
 
16-Jul-11
I spotted this new cache after I got home from Nelson Bay and was not very well so I though I will go this morning. As usual GD had the same Idea and got there just before me. So chalk up yet another 2nd to find after GD.

This is one of my favorate parts of Port Stephens and a great spot for a cache.

I was impressed with the camo on the container as well.
