We found the log book at gz, but It was damaged and very wet. Couldn't find the container. May have been muggled. Needs checking out.
Cache seems to have been muggled, was laying out in the open, no log book to be seen anywhere, just a few items in the container. Put a piece of paper in with name on it in, as I had no replacement gear on me.
Needs new log and bag.
Put back where I assume it was, if the owner needs location of where I put it in, please contact me.

Down in Gosford area for some caching today. This was number six.
What a pleasant little creek but let down by the amount of garbage. Took a while to find this one. Was a bit out with coords. No money left to grab either. Nicely hidden cache. And there were no little kids to frighten off either. TNLNSL. Thanks Seaeagles1997.

What a pretty little spot for a cache!. You would need more than a rubbish bag to take away some of the things we saw discarded around the creek. Today the satellites had the GZ 7m South of where we found the cache.

I'm currently wearing a back-brace to help with an injury, but I was still mad enough to give this one a go. Nice spot, but I didn't have a bag to take out any of the garbage. I had to check a number of spots, before I found it in an area that perfectly matched the hint.
No money found for me today.
Working just a hundred metres away today, this cache was pulling like a magnet. I've never seen a creek with such beauty, apart from all the rubbish laying about, the underlying beauty in the formations is undeniable. Its worth further exploring this one rather than grabbing the prize and runnung. TNLN

Gps was all over the place and my PAF didn't help 
but what's this! Sweet 
pretty neat area!
but what's this! Sweet pretty neat area!0710 This area certainly needs a CITO event (or TWO). Read the cache page and hint, so maybe GAFF2.
A bit of light doesn't go astray either.
Thru; 3Bros, B2B, Baa, Neigh, and Oink coins, SummerLovin521 TB, and Trackable shirt

Was on my way to Stanwell Park from Taree, and saw this was one I'd loaded from higher D/T download Query.
Found the way over the creek without getting my feet wet, and had a good look around, but now that I've read the sheet, and hint may be ready to come back some other month.

Reperio at 1550.
Well this one turned into so much more of a debacle than I expected. Having just returned from the Blue Mountains today visiting family, I had a little time spare before my doctors appointment, so took the opportunity to swing by this one thinking it was going to be reasonably straight forward. As I approached GZ, there were three kids about a 100m away, so I quickly headed to GZ to make the find. Sat down right next to the cache, and just as I was about to reach out and retrieve the cache, the three kids spotted me, and came over to see what I was doing. After a brief hello, I tried ignoring them hoping they would go away, but instead, one of them jumped over the creek and started asking all sorts of questions...In the end I asked them to leave, but they refused. I stood up to leave, and with that, they turned around a ran away. So...sat back down...grabbed the cache...signed the log...replaced the cache and left. I walked out from the trees, and as they were nearby, they saw me and bolted. After wasting about 25 mins at GZ, I just managed to make it in time for my appointment. I did enjoy sitting at GZ though.

.Found in the shadows of twilight only concern was crossing the water in the dim light
GPS was heading to both sides for a while but one area looked more interesting and "right' for a hide. Looks like the water level has been quite high, but the cacje is fine. TNLN, thanks.

A good spot, I wouldn't like to be there after heavy rain. A lot of large rocks and trees so did a bit of looking around. It is a wonder it survived the rising waters in that location. Thanks.
Went for a run down there this morning with geodog to check on it.
Cache is still in place so go find it!!!

DNF.. I used to play and swim here as a kid, so going back was nice. Spent about four hours over three visits looking, but no luck. Noticed an epic amount of water has shifted a LOT of stuff around down there recently..
Did this one in thongs, as Fury Ferns decided it wanted to contribute some mud to my shoes...
Unexpectedly beautiful spot, thanks for bringing me here!

Beautiful spot. loved it. been quite a few places in Kariong but never here. TFTC!!!
More memories. Many moons ago when there was no houses down here and only the Mount Penang Boy's Home across the highway, the dam upstream was used by the "Kariong Kids" in summer. The water was much cleaner then. The creek was followed many times down into (eventually) Girrakool for a walk, smoke, drink and other stuff. AHHH for the 70's again.
What a spot! We found a huge cray fish at least 8 inches long then right near GZ a bearded dragon was absorbing the last of the heat from the sandstone.
Mrs C was so excited about the rock bridge and the various other weathering features along the creek as well as the way the trees have grown around the rocks.
Mr C took many pictures with his new slr toy and we'll put a few up when we get home.
We are going to award this cache a favourite point based on the location. It is truely a beautiful spot do close to a busy road and houses. TFTC.

Magic spot. Found a container on the ground, open. Thought it had been muggeled, but perched a bit more just in case, and found the real cache. Nice hide. T.F.T.C.
This is quite a nice creek, despite its proximity to the F3. There was even a Kingfisher in the tree above. A bit of a wander around GZ soon showed us the hiding place, we left a TB and took the Coin. Thanks for a good hide in a rather nice place.
Headed off at 6:00pm to try and get FTF. It was an awesome place, a great place to explore one day. Except it was getting rather dark so we came back to locate GZ once more. Within mins we found it We opened the log and found SuperAdvancedMedia had got there first! Oh well, we left a TB for the next cacher.
