Hi akira13,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Ministro - Matt

Gone?

Think this one is gone

Think its been moved or stolen

Think it could be missing

Dnf

Despite 101 clues from my sister in-law who found it back in July we had no luck but lots of scratches from the thorns haha

Nice view!

Doh! And got a nice splinter for our troubles...

Love it! Found the little box, camouflage is a nice touch.
No need to go near the cliffs at all.

Found by Leila, second one today.

Our fist find! That's awesome!

Out day tripping in Sydney grabbing a few caches. Good camo but luckily a quick find. Did a traveler swap one in one out.

This one took me a while to find it. Walked up and down the path. GPS was jumping a bit. Kept on searching and was rewarded. Dropped a TB. Grtz from Holland

One last bit of adventure before returning to the campground. It took a phone-a-friend to help me uncover it.

TFTC.

On a very hot day, OCW Diddyhonda from Germany, decided to get a few more of the caches around the northern beaches.

With no hint, I thought this could take a long time, but DH spotted it close to the path as suggested. Another nice walk to GZ, but it is so, so HOT out here today. A spectacular view to the beach below.

Great spot. TFTC

Hello

thanks for showing the place / area.
it is a nice view of the beach all the best Diddyhonda

Quick find after a nice walk. Tftc Fränkies

Thanks!
Der Cache ist auf der anderen Seite des Weges als auf meiner Karte!

Mein Schatz hat ihn trotzdem gefunden

Vielen Dank fürs Verstecken und Pflegen!

Found while walking at the coast. Was easier than expected.
Took a TB with me.
Besten Dank!

Thanks for the Cache and greets from Switzerland!

2nd of the day. Took longer than it should have. TN Left a tb. TFTC.

Quick look whilst walking Palm Beach to Manly for the Bloody Long Walk! No luck- had to catch up to my Muggle mates so couldn’t spend too long!

Accidentally logged as a find! Only found the blackberry bush! A beautiful resting spot whilst walking Palm Beach to Manly. Hopefully return to get the find in the future.

This cache certainly has been a headache!
I first came here a couple of years ago but had no luck and there were lots of muggles around, then promptly forgot about it. Earlier this year, on the hottest day of summer I was in the area and looking for a daily cache so came here. It was awful in the heat all those steps, up and down, flies and the sun beating down then a good 30 minute search in the heat and then the trudge back to the geomobile. I returned twice more not long after, still no luck.

With a hint from a recent finder I returned today. Surprisingly the GPS was pointing in a different direction today - the weather??
Anyway finally found!
And the good part, the views from here are fantastic, worth the walk (once at least)!

TFTC # 2727, Streak day #265

We could use some help

Took longer than it should have done, as the 'micro' description had us looking in the wrong spots for something a lot smaller, but eventually had the cache in hand. Enjoyed the walk, the birds, and particularly the fab views all around. TFTC!

What a beautiful place for a cache. I brought my lunch along and after finding and logging the cache, I sat back and took in the view. I was hopeful of seeing a whale, but as the breeze was picking up to many white caps. Anyway a nice cache TNLN thanks.

Easy-peasy.

Beautiful winter Saturday evening. On the way up we were initially looking in the wrong spot. On the way down, however, we tried again and found it quickly at this second attempt.

Nice quick find on this windy winter day

Headed to the coast for my daily cache today. Spectacular views to be had on this cool and blustery day. Got tangled in some nasty blackberry vines before changing my search area.

Good find, thanks

Looked high and low for this bad boy to no avail..

Looked high and low with no luck.

Yay! Took a while but we got there!! Look down and have a feel and you will find it!

Good camp. Quick find. TFTC

Thought it was hard, good camo though

Too good for us today.

A beautiful place with beautiful people...

Check!

Out with JJCC collecting several caches in the area. Decided to travel up to the top of Turimetta Headland in order to photograph the nearby trig. Continued the walk to GZ and started searching for the micro. Eventually widened the search area and eventually found the small/regular sized container just passed warning signs. With the cache in hand, enjoyed a seat whilst we checked out the contents.Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache akira13, although the cache description really does need an update in order to reflect the true size of the container.

The following TBs came through for the mileage: Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust) & Vanlith The Youngling.

Edit 04/03/2018 - Have changed our Found log to a DNF as we have just been notified by a recent finder that followed our directions that the cache we actually found was in fact an archived cache named [A Decent Proposal](https://coord.info/GC3P1DJ). We will have to come back and continue our search for Turimetta Head-ache on another visit to the area.

Great views

Brigadier Garmin of the 64th Mapping Division brought us to within one metre of this location but the prize was not immediately observable so we asked the men to fan out and conduct a more thorough search. After about 40 minutes they returned empty-handed but covered in bramble injuries and sunburn. An argument broke out among the lower ranks over the merits of the words camouflage and disguise. Colonel Hayter who had been taking beverage at a nearby vantage point overlooking the ocean soon settled the argument after falling apon the cache himself and commenting on the excellence of the container. It was agreed by all that it was a splendid spot and a skilful hide. Indeed if he had read the description himself he would have warned the men about venturing too far. We left a small pink animal as the cache was looking a little bare. Thanks Akira.

Found it with coffeegirl29
Easy find goood camo
Great arvo

Clever

Great view from here, not near the edge at all.

Quick find for this one. It's our last one for today. Nice view.

A perfect day for geobiking around Narrabeen Lagoon. We really appreciated the path/cycle way.

TFTC!

Beautiful walk around the headland. Ran into a friendly family on the way

Nice cache. Not too difficult. Beautiful spot.

Found it, beautiful spot TFTC

Tftc

This was a well hidden cache TFTC

Good hide, good views from the headland. TFTC

This one found in another great viewing area on the Northern Beaches.

A well disguised cache but not too hard to locate. TFTC

Easy find. Log is dry. Picked up TB. TFTC

Killing time caching while waiting to check in to our hotel for a long weekend. Found after a bit of a search. Left a TB. Concentrating on making sure I got the TB secure in the cache, I forgot to sign the log. I remembered when I'd gone about 100 m & returned, signed & left again. TFTC

A lovely location.tftc

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Loved the hide TFTC TNLNSL

#2450 (2 of 6 today)

I decided to head out to the northern beaches - a beautiful area I get to far too infrequently - for a few caches this afternoon.
Part of my plan was to go for my first few caches in the lauded *Minecraft series* - I got 2 of them.
In all as I wended my way south along the coast, I grabbed six, didn't attempt one and DNFed two others.
##END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
No great problem with this one - my second find today after a previous DNF.
Given the hint there was one obvious place to check, and while it took a few minutes to find the right spot, it was obvious once I did.
Log was fine today - ie not sodden.

Nice views from near GZ as well - to be expected on a headland, admittedly...

TFTF

Had a fairly good look around, both from the path and from a couple of nearby fake paths that had been made following the "where might I put it" theory. But in the end admitted defeat after about 15 minutes. Oh well, it was the only DNF for the day, and a nice walk up anyway. Thanks akira13.

Quick, first find for the morning. Tftc

Great hide, Found with Riddells and Ruby1952.

Easy found after reading description. TFTC. Still a little damp but could sing.

TFTC nice cache, log is soaking

I couldn't find it. I hope it hasn't been washed away after last showers! Any clues?

Hi,

found the box in the morning. Unfortunately the interior was sucking wet. Couldn't write down something.
Kind regards Patathei

A good one to look for but sadly it was all wet

Found it, tftc!
Logged on the temp book, the other one was indeed wet. GPS coords are decent.

Found with hypostene after poking around for a bit and meeting a few dogs. Nice camo.

TFTC!

Toby & Angus no 2

Needs maintenance! Found eventually

Found it however I was not able to sign the log book as it was very wet so I did not attempt to remove from its bag so it needs some maintenance. Nice spot with some great views. Two par gliders up this afternoon. TFTC.

Easy find great location!

This was our 2nd time looking for it. We found it really easily 2nd time!

Wow such a great view but a great find

We were visiting a friend in Warriewood and this one was quite close so we decided to go for a walk to Turimetta Head. Approaching from the north, we found our way blocked due to track work but managed to squeeze past.

It took us a little while to find the well camouflaged cache. It happened to be in the first place we looked but we missed it and looked everywhere else before returning to the correct spot.

Nice one, thanks akira13.

I loved the views and the solitude, the latter probably attributable to the track being closed at one end. I haven't done much caching for a while but this hide in such a great location has convinced me I should do more. Thanks akira13, a favourite from me.

Very tricky! Photos were quite useful! Found with h0z, sluggish and Blunt88
Happy Easter! ??

Hi , I am no longer living in Sydney. If anyone would like to take over my caches please let me know.

Cheers

We spotted this listing while dong the Geo Trek Event so detoured over given the D level. The last log being a DNF and a needs maintenance was a little bit of a concern but we soon arrived at GZ which gave the dog a bit of a walk. Great views on this lovely. A look at some of the previous photos suggested it was a small and not a micro we were looking for. After the GPSr settled a bit of a search turn up the camoed container. The original log is wet so we signed the temporary one. TFTC.

I couldn't see it at all! Wonder if it's still there. Had a big look and was there for a long time

Bit tricky to find!
Used the photos for some hints!
TFTC

Container was very wet
Could not write on the log
I wiped it out and left it dry
I also left a few sheets of paper until the CO can come and change the log

Thanks for the cache

Last cache before leaving the area. It took a little time to locate. Unfortunately we were unable to sign the log as it was too sodden, we were not even able to open the book. We took a couple of photos of the cache was located if the owner wants proof.
Thanks akira13

First- timers fun!

Logged from GCBuddy

Took some time, but we found it right on the spot. Good hide, but needs some maintenance. Very water logged.

Completely waterlogged, log needs replacing - tftc though!

Log needs reading, waterlogged.

Next on my walk today. After finding the nearby trig I got to this gz and spotted the cache straight away. Now thats a big micro TFTC

Can't paraglide today so took the geokids up to the head to grab this cache. Log book was soaked and needs drying out/replacing. Cool camo

TFTC!

Great cach

Great hide

Still all wet. Great little spot.
