I decided to take a short solo holiday to the beautiful coastal town of Kiama. It was supposed to be a relaxing holiday, but of course, the second I opened the Geocaching app, it became a geocaching holiday. Although, it was exactly what I needed! Another stunning location along this coastline, the gorgeous weather made it so picturesque. Unfortunately, the log was more small scraps of paper rather than an actual logbook. I did manage to find a blank bit of scrape which I signed my name onto, but this cache does need some TLC to replace the scraps with a logbook. TFTC

#5400 Super cool area. We had grabbed some delish local fish n' chips and made our way down here to enjoy. The tide was up rather high but didn't prevent us getting to gz safely. Nearly gave up on finding the very well hidden cache but Mrs BGF kept persiting until it was flushed out. TFTC and fun WIlbert67.

Tftc. Lovely place
 
06-Jan-24
Looked at the obvious spots. No luck and given the many DNFs CO needs to check.
 
06-Jan-24
Cant find after extensive search. Lots of previous DNFS
 
06-Jan-24
The cache was still there!! However I agree that is is much more overgrown then it used to be, so I decided to replace with a more permanent option!
 
01-Jan-24
No luck, too overgrown.
 
20-Jul-23
Nice walk to the beach but no luck here today. Looked in obvious spots,

Way too overgrown with prickly asparagus weed! But worth the trick to experience the view.
 
24-Jan-23
Spent about 30 minutes looking around with two others, no luck

On an adventure OCW Mizcupcake and we have headed down the South Coast nice and early to enjoy the sea breeze and some interesting new locations. We parked the geomobile and made our way over, finding a nice little trail down to get us to gz. The high tide was moving out but this zone was still dry so we searched around and MC made the find here. CIH quickly it didn’t take long, we both signed the log and replaced. TFTC!
 
05-Apr-21
So disappointed, have a TB I was planning on leaving here. I’m sure I’m in the right spot, but just can’t find it.
 
04-Apr-21
No luck. Very good scout from low water back up to tree line. Previous images had me in the right spot. Beautiful walk though along the rock platform so no disappointment. Local so will try again.
 
29-Jan-21
Did a quick check cache is perfectly fine and good to go still in the right spot
 
30-Dec-20
Nup. No go

Unfortunately we couldn’t seem to find it. We were certain we were in the correct spot and looked at previous images to see where the cache should be but nothing was there.

30-Aug-20
Looks like this one needs a check

11-Jul-20
Lovely view
 
08-Jul-20
Thanks for another cache in a fantastic spot. We were keen to check out Boneyard and knew there would be a cache nearby, we had a wonderful walk across to rocks looking in the little rock pools before grabbing the cache. Just as we were about to head back up we spotted some dolphins. So cute!
Many thanks for the cache. CHEERS!

Found it during our Kiama Christmas Trip...thx from Germany!
 
Sticking to the coast on this warm day. Thought I might check out a few Headlands in the area. Of course I would find geocaches whilst there. This was one of them.

Beautiful place
 
27-Jul-18
I was a little worried when I parked nearby and found a camper van with smashed windows. Either way I pushed on and had GZ to myself where I made the find. All found in good order with some super views to take in while signing the log. Well let’s say scratching a log with a pen that wouldn’t play along and some photo evidence

A friend had recently visited Cathedral Rocks and I was so impressed with the photos that I decided I just had to visit this beautiful spot, particularly the view through the cave.
Three other geocaching friends, Brewmaker, The Bebes and Everest High joined me for the adventure.

And the views did not disappoint!
We followed the track from the gate down to the shore and rock hopped over to GZ. Found the cache, SL etc then found a track back up the cliff to the top. From there we made our way down to the other side of the Cathedral and round to the cave. We also went up onto the next precipice for a different view.
So it was views from all angles - spectacular and really worth the trip!
Favourite point from me.

TFTC # 2593, Streak day #189

I attempted this last night in the failing light and failed to find it. I decided to come back when I could see better, and after checking photographs.
This morning I returned. I gave this a good search, with the photographs in mind. I found several large skinks in the rock gaps, but that cache continued to elude me. DNF Sad.
 
26-Mar-18
We had a good look around, but the cache was too well hidden for us. Thanks anyway.
 
11-Feb-18
What can we do during a cloudy day ... geocaching !
We found quickly the cache. But we stayed a while at this place because it's really relaxing to see the long waves entering into the bay and few surfers catching them.
TFTC +1FP

Nice little day trip, had a quick look but what I thought was the spot had people there. Went for a walk and checked it out on the way back, still no luck, but didn't really check for very long, and after reading the description later, realized that I was definitely in the wrong spot.

Will come again some day and check properly.

Thanks for the cache!

After finishing the cache series on the minnamurra, i needed a break from the water, so I made my way over here to find a land cache for variety.
Thus stretch of coast was clear when i arrived. The muggles were all down on the beach to the south.
A quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for this one. Picked up on a great walk along the coast from Bombo to Minamurra.
 
14-Dec-17
This was the only cache attempted on a walk with a bunch of muggles from Bombo to Minnamurra on a very hot day.

I left a coin which wants to travel in an easterly direction.

Lovely spot, thanks Wilbert67.
