It appears this cache has been missing for some time now and the cache owner has not logged on in many months. As such, I am archiving this listing.

Just checked. This is gone. A series of DNFs since May and no cache checks performed.

Used coords from Angel Bells log but still no luck

Did a cache check tonight while doing my evening run and I couldn't spot it - co please check

DNF
may have been muggled

No luck for us today either

Searched around every tree, even one of the dogs joined us in our search, but to no avail.

No luck for us today. And we certainly had lots of help. Approaching GZ around midday there was a gaggle of eight or so young boys aged about 6-10 playing tip in and out of the bushes following their league game at the nearby oval. A few asked what we were doing and we gave the usual treasure hunt response. For a while they just kept playing and we just kept looking. At about the same time we were about to chuck it in they became more interested. Hard to explain that we don't really know what we're looking for but they helped too to no avail. Oh well, it was fun and we'll try again another time. Cheers... Gaztek

I was considering going to look for this while here in February but all the back and fourth logs dettered me at the time. I was happy to have the imporved coordinatets to go by today which made for a relative quick find. Pretty cools hide though (once you find it), liked that a lot and left a PT. Thanks for the cache shortydpg

Couldn't find it. I looked for quite a while. My GPS had a good fix but no chance to find it.

Finally got this one. Suggested alternate coords in a previous post much better. SL. TFTC.

I walked from Bondi to Coogee on a windy and rainy autumne day. Due to bad Gps signal i had to look under all trees. Tftc.

Found during the walk from Bondi beach to Cogee beach. The weather was excellent today for the walk and cache-picking during the walk made it even more interesting.

Easy find once I spotted something strange. Coordinates took me a little further in the forest, just a few steps. A man walking his dog passed by as I was signing the log, he saw me but he did not pay much attention.
Geocachers are getting lazy these days, the container does not even has "Geocaching" written on or the cache name.
Nice area, the view is very nice.

Thank you for the cache, shortydpg.
Visiting from Portugal.

Another on the Coogee to Bondi walk and easy once we found the correct tree.

Found it together with sundance69. Left: Plastic Pirate skull tag, took: nothing. TFTC!

A beautiful Easter day. Easy find. After we located the correct bush.
Shootingstar72 actually got it.
Took: nothing, as it was empty
Left: pirate skull tag

Quick find in the room shaped bunch of trees. After searching in a few trees' feet the cache was found. TFTC. Had a laugh at the nearby sign. Will attach photo of it.

in general the cache is worth to be logged. Nice area along the coastal walk. I agree with others that area could be cleaner and close by are surely better locations. Neverthelles trust Bells Angels Coords and stay out of the trees/bushs. Cache can be reached easily without becoming to dirty. TFTC

Found it! It's not necessary to go into the muck.

Agree with other comments about the coordinates. Spent more dirty time at this one than probably necessary, but the two black dogs that asked me to play with them were nice!

Caching has taken me to some pretty cool places. This was not one of them. Glad I did not have the kids with me. Advice to future searchers, it is not very far in. Right next to an entrance, you do not have to go in very far. Gross.

Took a little longer than expected ..... but SherpaNT and Steph came up with the goods whilst I used the nearby ovals facilities........

Had a nice walk from th other side of Clovelly bay after looking for the Gordon's Rocks cache. This one turned out to be more fruitful. A lovely area and pretty quiet on a Friday mi morning. TFTC!

Walked here from the nearby cache "Bronte Beach" - enjoying the fantastic views of the cliffs along the way. Lots of dogs running around, which is always cute to see ;p Found the shrubbery, and ducked our way in and under the branches - not an easy place to stand! Saw a few rats (!) before my boyfriend made the find =) TFTC shortydpg

Easy find! A great area however as previously posted I also believe that there would be much better locations around the area to place a more creative cache that includes a better view. Furthermore I also suggest that co changes the co ordinates to the ones posted by Bells Angels as they are far more accurate... It's great to see new co's placing caches and it's even better to finally post a find on this cache! Not bad for a first cache place:)

Cache located. Although everyone make sure you wash your hands after crawling around here. My co-ords S33 54.856 E151 16.176. TFTC

Found this one today during a nice walk along the coast. But to be honest: I think there a lots of places around which are more beautiful then this playground for dogs...
Thanks for the cache, Eumchen

After a bit of scratching around finally noticed something a bit out of place. Sure enough it was hiding a nice little cache. While searching I thought I felt somrthing biting but couldn't see anything. About an hour later realised that it must have been sand flies. Had bites all over my arms and they had even bitten me through my shirt. Thanks Shortydpg. GPS @ GZ 7m.

It took a little bit of time as I zero'd out about four or five meters from where I found the cache but the hint helped narrow down the sites immensely. Plus, there's few places this could be.

Though, I'd consider this more of a Micro rather than a Small geocache.

Found it when walking from Coogee to Bondi.

Found it in a hurry as there was a big storm coming, it stopped the cricket for 2 hours. TFTC

DNF Today. Would the cache owner mind looking at the co-ords on google earth/maps and confirm the location please.

Check co ordinates/cache location please

ive changed the cache to a micro
but it can fit small swapables
happy caching

the cache is there im checking it every day when i take my dog for walks just please note that you may have to pull a couple of stones of it

please dont be put off this cache it is active and PLEASE DO NOT DESTROY THE SOROUNDING ENVIRONMENT
thankyou shorty dpg

I dont think im going to even both looking for this until someone finds it
CO has no previous finds... and If its "Appearing" and "Disappearing"
I cant be bothered attempting to find a cache they most likely isn't even there.
Suggest CO move to less muggle traffic GZ

the geocache is back in place suprisingly enough because when I went to replace it I found someone had returned it
happy caching

And sorry about the problems

You should disable listing until its ready again. Then enable.

im sorry to say the cache has been stolen which is odd because not many people go where it is though i am local and know it is a common place for drunks (some of which are most likely dummer when sober) but also most commonly for dog owners looking for lost dog balls. i am suprised though since i covered it up with a grass plant and a rock

i am extremelty sorry about this and will replace it ASAP but do not bother searching until further notice will trie even harder to cover it up

my sincere apologies for this inconvenience

There were already three teams of cachers there. But no luck for any of us. Kids enjoyed it though. Cheers.

I'm half expecting to see myself on YouTube on this one as a sort of Benny Hill chase scene in fast motion (those of you old enough to remember him). (note to paparattzi, speak to my agent about an interview). Cache owner hasn't found a cache yet, has been a member for a week, and has hidden their first cache. CO obviously has done caching before because the hole for the hide is a ripper (assuming that's where is should be). cheers

Was also amongst the cachers today. Met at least five other teams. Nobody found it. Are the coordinates correct? Neverthelles enjoy always a visit at the Coastal Walks.
Regards

Couldn't find it either.
It was very disappointing to see that the area has been "worked over" by overly eager cachers who have damaged the vegetation, exposing tree roots and upended and discarding rocks in search of this 2.5 star cache.
Shortydpg, please go and check the cache once again to confirm that it is still in the correct location.
Thanks

im checking on it now

Two of us looked for a good 30 minutes. If coords are good then we were definitely in the correct 'room'. Could the rain of the last week have disturbed it? Will watch with curiosity to see if our locating skills need correcting.

It might need a co check if potentially 8 people looked today (although it's obvious most didn't log a dnf)

sorry mickjane it is there but due to problems with light it was placed this morning slightly late I take my dog for walks there and it is definitely there

so sorry for the delay
