Thanks to the person who posted the pic of what it looks like that helped me find it
Very tricky! I was just about to give up, when I saw the cache. Thanks for challenging me.
Have been looking at this cache for quite a while thinking I'll go get it, we'll today was finally the day, the sun is going down and I was close to giving up but finally had this cool cache in hand, very creative glad I finally did it, TFTC
Note book was left out in the open in the plastic bag. Some water damage.Tried to hide it back where it might have been
2nd cache of the day and tested the little guys skills, with some help from some previous photos he was excited to find this cache and wanted to leave a little friend
Lovely little park. Thanks for bringing me here. Great camo and hide. I would have sat and admired the view but the mozzies were out and very hungry today!
Its Valentines Day today, and while Im not doing anything particularly romantic, Im in town visiting my sisters for a bit, and that is something special. Even though they only moved up here a few weeks ago, its nice to see them, and this trip will be the last time I see one of them for a long time as in a few days she will be heading off to Uni in Adelaide.We all stayed in playing on a new save file on our shared video game wed made in the morning and eating snacks for most of the day, but at some point we needed to do a food run. I, wanting to keep up my streak but fearing the impending rain, took advantage of this and asked if we could possibly stop at this cache at some point, as it was on the way. If they werent into it, I would have come by myself later on, but they were quite happy to come along and even helped in the search once wed arrived. My younger sister was driving and managed to park very close to GZ, and from the minute we stepped out of her car we all started admiring the area. The flora and fauna are so different here from what were all used to back in Canberra.We quickly made our way towards the GPS reference. My sisters were both in front of me and their keen eyes very quickly made the find before I could even reach it! I signed my name and then we headed off to the shops. By the time we came out of Coles, it was pouring with rain: so Im glad we came geocaching first!Even though my sisters are muggles, we all quite enjoyed this cache. They thought the pun was clever, and we all got a kick out of the container: it was still in great condition and camouflaged brilliantly. Theyve had to endure me talking their ears off about geocaching many times, so they definitely knew what it was before this but Id say this particular cache was a great practical introduction for them to the game. Happy Valentines Day. I may not have had a Valentine, but (as cheesy as it sounds) I was lucky enough to spend this day of love spending time with my sisters before were all well and truly spread apart, and being reminded to celebrate all of these different kinds of love Thanks for the cache
A quick find on the way home Eva was off like a rocket to play at the nearby playground
This is what I love about geocaching: takes one to somewhere totally different. I can only imagine the orange trees and dam here. But like a lot of farmland, gets built over. Still a little pocket of bushland here. Will be back to explore. Great camo cache. Tftc and thanks for taking me here.
Found it after dropping in on someone nearby. Took a couple of minutes but at least half of that was because I'm extra cautious to ensure I don't run into any spider webs - they're were some but not really too many here.
The log is damp and going mouldy - the ziploc bags seem dry, but even just high humidity can be too much moisture for paper, and once it's damp, a log won't be able to dry out while still in the cache. Also, the cache pencil has poked a hole in the outer bag.
Was still able to sign my name, but the later pages are the most affected by mould, so it really needs to be fully dried out soon, or replaced entirely.
Thanks for the cache - I did enjoy the camo!

While in the area we decided to grab this one, after some shenanigans getting into the right street due to some annoying roadworks on the intersection. Once we parked we followed the GPS to the tree, or what we thought was the tree but after widening our search we had the container in hand, GPS said 2-3 metres at GZ so must've been a bit inaccurate at the start...

Heading to Gosford for a day of caching, we made the diversion through Cooranbong and Ourimbah for some older caches that had been on the map for too long.
The roads and half-done roadworks (seems a permanent state?) hindered us, but we eventually got to GZ after a U-turn or two.... the GPS then promised us the cache was about 10m from where it really was. Of course it had us at a promising structure. Trying the phone, it took us directly to the cache, just sitting there. All in good condition, the double bagging is doing its job.... I do remember DNFing a similarly named cache somewhere not far from here ages ago, so it was nice to find this one.... TFTC!

First find ever! Found by me and my best bud in the pouring rain. Got us both hooked on geocaching
It was a bit muddy after recent rain but I found it reasonably quickly. Good camo. TFTC
We are on a five day holiday to the Central Coast, staying at the NRMA/Big4 Ocean Beach Holiday Resort (caravan Park) in Umina Beach. Looking to do some of the many Central Coast Adventure Labs, visit some previously solved Puzzle/Mystery cache GZs, and to collect any other caches we come across during our daily travels. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base.
Today is our last day of the holiday, and we will be heading for home, but we still managed to visit Gosford, Lisarow, Ourimbah, Wyong, Tuggerah, and Mooney Mooney Point. Completed an Adventure Lab, solved & found a Mystery/Puzzle cache, and collected numerous Traditional caches. This was the 6th of 16 finds for the day (day 5), and 82nd find of the holiday.
Stopped off at this one and made a nice quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced the nicely camoed container as found. It blends in really well, nice work! TFTC The GeoKrew.

After a very confusing 20 minutes we finally found it!! I'd say it's a bit trickier than a 2.0 difficulty rating though )
The kids wanted to come back past this one on the way home from a day out searching for Trig points. We changed our tactics from the last time around and managed to find the well camouflaged cache. We put our names in the shiny new logbook and headed off for a go on the playground.

Cache remodelled and will be more visible now. Please note that maintenance has been done in the area close to the cache but not in its immediate area. It is safe. All good to go!
No luck with this one. Dropped in with the kids on the way home. After a quick look the call of the playground was too much for them.
Yay found it. Good camo.
The log is so wet that it's mushy and slimy. Tried to write my name but the paper is too soggy.
Thanks for the cache!

Woof! After a nice trudge from way down there, a 45 minute explore and i finally found it, only to discover a soggy mess of a log. Bouncing co ords, so I left my phone on the seat, which eventually settled pretty close, which gave me the final hide. Have photo of proof of find, but no sign. Tftc, well placed.
Nice camo, great hide! Favourite point from me! Found with Team Scozzie and geokid. Thank you for the cache!
Quick find by GeoDad. I, GeoMum, would never have found it! Very cool cache.
Geo kids had a quick play on the playground!

On arriving, I was greeted by a bark in the park but it ran off after a ball, so wasn't the cache. I followed the arrow, circled a tree without seeing anything and the way back out, spotted what I'd come for. The glue has failed but it's still ok. Thanks The GeoKrew.
Finally found it as we were giving up. Very small and great camouflage! Helpful to pole around with sticks.
We were on the brink of giving up when we spotted in a very good hiding place. Don’t be afraid to shift things around. I had a stick and was scraping leaves away which eventually led me to the geocache
Coming up to Wyoming today to pick up something for a friend and having no luck at this cache last year, I thought I’d drop in and have another shot.
After searching for about an hour I eventually found it nestled away in a great spot! Signed log.
Thank you for the very well hidden cache

Very small and sneaky had a couple weird looks and a council truck drove past and gave us a weird look but we found it after 10 mins of searching nice hide
Did not find this one.
I think I found the spot it may have been.
I'm not sure if it's actually still there.

Probably the cutest cache we have found so far. Great spot. Another great park to visit! Tftc
Found with Beary_Unicorns, just Miss Unicorn with me today. Found with a bit of help from Mighty Minions and Unicorn Princess. Interesting to see a fresh log book, no names since log was replaced. Tftc, fave point
