Sadly it's time for this cache to go. With too many caches constantly on the maintenance list, there is rarely any time for caching, so we've decided we need to archive a few. Hopefully someone else will place a cache in this lovely spot.

After 4 DNFs in a row decided to check on this one. Sadly it was missing. Found part of the camo and took it home to decide whether to rebuild or archive this one.

Found what could hide the cache but nothing below it. Searched vegetation around without success.

Searched for a while but no luck

We searched in what really looked like the correct spot (given past photos) but couldn't find it. Also, the hint made no sense at all. Better luck next time/hope it's not missing.

Thought we were on the right track but couldn't find it. Will try back later.

Great camo! Did not expect it
Our first find for me and my caching partner!

Had time this Morning walking around to gather a few caches in the area. Thanks

Third and last for our walk today. Again left Mrs CF behind and wandered down to GZ. Happy to find another fairly quiet area so was able to search and soon had the cache in hand. We had a great walk today - surprised there weren't more people about. And thanks to zargfinders for some great caches.

TFTC great hide

Found it! Don't get the clue though. Can someone explain.

Geo mum and boy went on a cache maintenance blitz today. This is one of the caches they visited. Wet contents were removed and a new (dry) log book was added. Cache was repositioned slightly as it had suffered some cache creep.
Cache is ready and waiting to be found.

It is soaked! Tried to dry it up a bit, needs at least dried out if not a new log.

This is great camo Thanks!

Elle nous a donné beaucoup de fil à retordre
La geo localisation manque un peu de précision
La boîte est humide
Très astucieux
Nous étions prêts à abandonner

Wasn't sure about the clue, but soon found what we were looking for. Great camo.

Came to Manley from Sydney to have a look around and found a few caches on the way. I found this surprisingly quickly which I was happy about.

TaurusSix spotted this one first.

Found it. Don't think it's where it's supposed to be though.

Oh that wasn't easy. The GPS signal was jumping all the time and the hint wasn't helpful.

Very good camp. TFTC

Fun hide!thanks:)

This is what I call excellent camo. Kudos to the owner for the great work. There weren't too many muggles out so I was able to make a quick and relatively easy find once the GPS decided to settle down.

It took Felix the spy and myself a long time to return after our DNF last year, when the cache had been vandalised. We anchored the boat in Little Manly Cove and went ashore in the dinghy after watching a few crazy teenagers jump from the famous rock into the icy water. (Crazy because of the water temperature - we would have been tempted ourselves had it been summer.) Today was a very easy find as last year's guess as to the nature of the cache was accurate. We went on to look at the site of the Astronaut, but, as the tide was close to high, and the water very cold, we didn't pursue a find. We saw many bunnies in the park, wandering around quite brazenly. Thanks for the cache, zargfinders!

good cache TFTC

Only a newbie to GC so this was a great intro to finding cache's - well done!

Nice hide! Love your camo ideas zargfinders! TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Yes

Very interesting place, a lot to lean about this activity and the area,
nice cache also, thanks for this last for today;
a favorite of course

Cunning and clever. Took a few moments to locate this one. GZ kept moving us here and there. I really loved finding your caches to day Zargfinders. Thanks so much for placing the. Chikins from Brisbane.

This is now one of my favorites. I got annoyed at how much trouble I was having when I stumbled upon it. Now I have a whole new outlook on what to look for. Great hide.

Beautiful day. Nice cammo. TFTC

Decided to start tackling our "Cache Maintenance" list today - which only continues to grow in length. While geogirl ran to 3 of the nearer caches in Dee Why, the rest of the geofamily checked out seven others.

This was the fourth cache on the list. We thought we'd better check it out after the last finder indicated that it had been left a bit unhidden. The cache was a bit more obvious than it was originally, so we hid it a bit more. The cache itself is in great condition - ready and waiting to be found.

Found it, was left a bit unhidden

TFTC.

Found on a trip around the north head from Manly. Interesting history and clever camo. TFTC

TFTC!

Another wall for me to climb! Yay!Oh what, I'm supposed to help with the finding? Woo hoo, quick discovery and I'm back to climbing.

Another great Zargfinders cache in an open area, with amazing camo

Geokid was lucky to come across the camo quite quickly as the device was sending me all over the place. Super camo.

Found it!

A daytrip to Manly and Watsons Bay today.
First we had to figure out which level we had to be on, but after going up and down the geo-girlfriend put her hands on the clever hide. TFTH

That is a great job. Respect!

Found it

A perfect Sunday exploring the Manly area. This particular spot has something for everyone: fishing; swimming; and bushwalking. The camouflage was brilliant and had me fooled if not for Geowife's keen eye. TFTC.

Yay found it!!! Thedoubles. Lovely area.

Found it ! Easy to find and nice walk.

Amazing camouflage

Great cache in a lovely area, nearly beat us but then oh what's this TFTC

Found it, but could not log in it because i discover i had no pencils..
Loved the Walk to go there and the idea for the cache. Thank you !

Have not found a cache like this before
Real good hide
Found with The X-Trailers

Last find for the day
Do much traffic and people out and about this Mothets Day

A matter of elimination to locate the cache
Obvious really

Good idea, it looks enough realistic. TFTC!

Quick find once we knew where to look.

Great cache!

Found it

Cool cache

Very cleverly hidden, lots of fun!!!

Found it

We found it.

What a great view!

My first cache in Australia on a beautiful place. tftc

Manly treasure bandits find their second load of loot. Finding treasure, just for leisure, with attitude beyond measure.

Maybe I gave up too easily.

Excellent camouflage. Looked for 20 minutes and almost gave up. Phew! Glad we kept going.

Found second time around

TFTC! Very obvious cache, nice place!

My first cache! Lovely spot. I visited Europe earlier this month and did some geocaching there it's so addictive. Great way to explore Manly and other parts of Sydney.

Love this spot. Lovely cache and perfect on a sunny day with a cool breeze.

Many thanks zargfinders! A great location for another well camoed cache. Just exploring the area while the wife has a massage in Manly. Some people relax and others have fun...

What a great view. Our 200th cache, saved for my trip to Sydney.

Grabbed this one with ultimate84 after an afternoon in Manly. Tftc

We walked right up to this one, although we didn't understand the clue. Thanks for the cache!

TFTC!! Awesome hide!! Best cache we've found!! Almost went home with a tick attached though :/

Woohoo cache #2! Plus a bonus swim. TFTC

Fantastic camo! Hot morning and great to find before lunch and a swim. ..TFTC

Great to find this cache after a day at the beach... Very well hidden! Great surprise as well to find our 1st trackable... Thank you very much!

Fast find on a nice place. TFTC. Greetings from Sweden.

Quick find with Geokid. Always fun thanks Zargfinders for another interesting cache #109

Easy to find but now getting used to finding the amazing Zargfinders projects amazing CAMO and great view

Great hidden cache, very clever! Took nothing, left a Singaporean coin, a few rings, as well as a long lost Travel Bug which is making a comeback after a 4 year hiatus!

cache jedi kid zero'd in on this in seconds. great as we had previously attempted and had to abandon due to light. TFTC

Up and down, but had followed a particular item to the end to have CIH not long afterwards. A rating my head at the amount of them. Thanks Zargfinders

Another great camo from the zargfinders! We were right on top of it first time but we thought it might be on higher level so went up there and then back again. So clever. TFTC. Dropped a track able and picked up another.

We found this cache which was a nice easy find, whilst at the 10-12-14 Event this evening.
TFTC

Snuck out of the event to try to find this cache. Felt like I was closing in, but then the rain started, and got heavier...
Time to get back - to where I'd left my umbrella.
Confirmation from the CO when I got back that I was on the right track - just need to check more spots.

That's a fun find, found by grandad who is along for the walk. TFTC

Cache is back in place and waiting to be found!

Cache was rebuilt and replaced this morning when "we" (geo girl) rehid The Imossible Astronaut. You can guess which cache was easier to hide!

Was in the area this afternoon and decided to check on this cache. Sadly, there is a good reason for the 3 recent DNFs, as the cache was nowhere to be found. Fortunately geo boy found the part of the camo that would be hardest to replace - and we happen to have the remaining supplies in the workshop. So hopefully the cache will be up and running again soon - when we replace the Impossible Astronaut, which is ready and waiting to be placed when we have free time at low tide!

As per our Needs Maintenance log, this cache has gone missing. We will remake and replace it asap and get it up and running again soon.
