There are too many bees, was not keen to go rummaging in the bush and risk getting stung.

Had to leave this one after looking for about five minutes and a muggle in overlooking house coming out to water garden. It was too exposed for me to continue my search. Oh well.. Another time. Tfth

Took more feeling that looking
 
08-Feb-21
With the weather being considerably better than yesterday, the decision was made to head out in search of a few caches. An enjoyable afternoon was had as we made our way through the western suburbs and unless otherwise stated, all caches were found in good condition.

We must be hungry because we came up empty handed. Disappointing and not without trying. Was meant to be the last one for the kids, after a great run of finds, before heading home. We found this super hard, luckily the playground was here to keep them entertained while we continued the search. Have to leave this one for another day.

Find 4 of 17 with two DNFs on a bike ride through Manning, Salter Point and Waterford to one of our usual lunch stops at Lo Quay, Fern Park then back again. Beautifully crisp winter weather today and most of the time the river was twinkling and flat as a pancake.

Second visit as it was missing last time. Quick find today. Thanks for replacing and TFTC jacaro44!

This cache took a lot of searching. Our search took the interest of a council gardener so we had to explain what were up to. Surprisingly he said he hadn’t heard of geocaching before heading off on his way.

26-Jul-18
Organised a day off work to go geocaching in duck country along with the Machman.

Another great day enjoying some very well hidden creations from Duck43 followed by some puzzles we'd recently solved. Great weather to be out and about.

Quick find while in the area. TFTC

Nice quick find here in this beautiful park today. Momentarily came at it from the wrong side but once we corrected that it was in hand in a minute. Beautiful day for caching this Easter Long Weekend. TFTC!
 
19-Mar-18
Hard to get eyes on this one. Tried reaching from different angles. Might be an advantage to take a small human with you.
 
19-Dec-17
No luck at all and the likely spot seemed a bit too difficult to access with the bushes growing fairly thickly.
 
19-Dec-17
Too hard. Dnf
 
21-Oct-17
Came back and found it this time!
 
02-Oct-17
Our first go at geocaching and we DNF. Disappointing for my 8 yr old especially as this was an easy one.
 
13-Sep-17
Found by Mary & David at 1550. This took us far too long, but our indicated GZ took us to the wrong side. Once we gave up there, and relocated our search, we had the cache in hand in no time. A FP for the lovely park, the local real estate, and the echidna egg. Our thanks to jacaro44.
 
04-Aug-17

Found this sneaky hide while spending a Saturday morning caching in the area. TFTC
 
12-Dec-15
Went to find this one when I was in the area. Located where I was supposed to be looking for it, but between having to retreat a few times due to random people cycling, walking, neighbors leaving or going outside, I still managed to have what I thought was an alright look and unfortunately nothing was found.

Out caching with Lazarus68. Wandered up to the playground area and figured that the other side would make a more sensible approach to the situation, So walked around and quickly had the cache in hand. Thanks jacar044 for the cache in this nice little park.
 
27-Sep-15
Can't believe that this was harder to find than the two Duck 43's we found on the river.
 
26-Sep-15
Stopped at the park to find first cache for the morning before heading down to the river to try and find some more. Thanks for the cache.
 
06-Sep-15
Found by Lil Geo-NinjaKid! Muggles around as a family was walking across the road for a Father's Day picnic in the park. A quick entry into log and back to its spot. TFTC!

Found myself in the Salter Point/Manning area this afternoon so decided to track down some of the local unfound caches. Had a good strike rate in the twenty or so minutes that I had spare, three from three.

Had a go at this one previously but there were too many little muggles close by to conduct a proper search. The coast was clear today so I knuckled down to the task at hand. After about five minutes I was running short of time and had decided to give the game away when I checked one last spot and was stoked to have my hand on the cache.

Turns out I was making it much more difficult than it should have been. Cool

jacaro44 I found your cache at 5:22pm, this was the 3rd of 3 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2152. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.
