03-May-16
Looked everywhere, trudged through the mud and maze of fallen trees and branches, found a secluded little area of Creek bed which could have been good spot for GZ but couldn't locate any cache
 
02-May-16
Couldn't find it and there was no waterfall near GZ
 
02-Apr-16

03-Oct-15
Lots of rubbish. Found a troll, but not sure if that's it. Definitely found a small waterfall though.
 
09-Sep-15
Well, I will say the same as Oooss, I think I found it as there is a small "troll" sitting in you GZ. The attached picture. There is no log the sign now.
 
24-Aug-15
I believe I may have overlooked the trackable after seeing a picture of it however I still believe it's not in there. Again another late night cache solo proved to be subtly haunting TNLNSL interesting container had never seen one like this before thanks for the cache Smile

Found after a long search GPS all over and the clue was no good for current hide.
Joined by BruceM1 and geowife to eventually make the find
Not sure this will last if the recent weather repeats its self
 
25-Jul-15
Don't think the hint applies anymore Smile but great container and cool walk!
 
15-Jul-15
Really awesome walk though the bush! Totally coming back in summer.
 
04-Jul-15
We were impressed by this container. Now that's a bison! Left a TB.

It's now in an official geocache container ! Very cool, good find Smile

This one has had me stumped for a long time, very pleased to have finally found it. Very cool container.
 
07-Jun-15
Awesome find. Thanks for the great adventure. Taking the travel bug for a ride.
 
07-Jun-15
Found it
 
14-May-15
Headed into Newcastle, to tackle a few more caches in the area.
With a good variety of hides, we were kept busy for a few hours.

This is a lovely area, so didn't mind waiting for the GPS to settle down.
Then it wasn't too long before we had cache in hand. Signed and replaced.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Team-Tonka, for us and others to find.

13-Apr-15
TFTC one of the best hidden caches I've ever seen
 
11-Apr-15
It's now in a proper geocache camo tube
 
11-Apr-15
Found it was a bit harder than expecting, as no longer in a sistema container, in a camo geocashing tin

This cache wasn't on our planned '25 caches' list, but was close to "GNW Tree Chest" so we went and found it. And it was a DT combo we hadn't found yet (1.5 / 1.5 Wink ). The Garbageman found this one, very nice container! The waterfall remained hidden, possibly the area gets more active after rain. Find 9/23 today. TFTC!

The copy and pasted bit: Today The Garbageman and I had an attempt at qualifying for the The Unique Difficulty/Terrain Challenge (GC54RAX), 25 caches in a day with unique DT ratings. It was so much fun, even though we didn’t make the 25. The Garbageman is a great bloke who did the driving, and took me to a lot of lovely places. We had so many laughs, it was awesome. My stats for the day: 23 finds, 22 unique DTs, 4 DNFs, 2 trackables involved, 2 ticks.

Cache 9 of 25 today in our unique d:t quest. TNLN TFTC really cool cache - nice container !

23-Jun-14

I was intrigued by the cache name and had targeted this one to find while I was in the area.

A pleasant stroll and an easy find. I loved the area and it gets a fav point from me.


TFTC and the stroll.
 
26-Mar-14
I dnfed this cache a year ago, this time around it was still giving me trouble until I spied something not quite right.

The hidden waterfall has changed since then, not as active now. Also lets hope the cache stays put in the floods that happen around here. Thanks TT.
 
27-Feb-14
Was going to do another of the Balls out series, but every field was occupied, despite it being so wet.
We went a little further, parked the car and were confronted with a red belly black snake!
Fortunately the flies had already taught it a lesson, so we went along the nice trail to GZ.
Cache a bit far off the track to call it a terrain 1.5 rating. We heard the waterfall, but didn't really see it.
As always forgot to put mozzie repellent on, so was in a hurry, so looked at hint for quick find.
Thanks for the boardwalk!
 
19-Feb-14
Our 2nd day in Newcastle, this was a short walk along a track. Maybe we didn't go far enough to see the Waterfall.
Cache found after a short search.
Thanks Team-Tonka

Having arrived in the Belmont area yesterday with Di Morgan and husband Bill it did not take long today to head off to do some of the trails. It was the first time Bruce got to try out his cute little Strida lookalike fold up bike, which even with its small wheels performed well. A lovely walk to the gz location. A big thanks to Team-Tonka
 
20-Jan-14
We had a nice trip around Newcastle by bike. The weather was great. We found 30 caches. At the beginning we were attacked by thousands of mosqueitos, but we survived and enjoyed a lovely beach day. Thank you for all caches. Greetings from the Czech Republic.
 
17-Jan-14
Found this one after the Balls Out series it was a short stroll of the road a quick find.. thankfully we had Aerogard because there was a lot of mozzies and flying bugs!
 
17-Jan-14
Last cache of the night, I had no idea this waterfall existed. Parked and made the short walk along the track. As it was dark and almost midnight we couldnt take in much of the scenery. I will come back check it out in daylight. Nice easy find, beware of mosquitoes they will attack you.. Thanks team-tonka for showing myself and the group this hidden area.
 
05-Jan-14
Kids had fun looking for this one...
Bring the insect repellant
 
03-Jan-14
I found it in a tree it was awesome.
 
26-Dec-13
Well this was my 800th cache and going by the name I was looking forward to it as being a memorable milestone. Sadly it let me down. I like the container even if you'd need to be seven and a half foot to fit the hint.

07-Sep-13
Got to gz.... Awesome little waterfall, got the crap absolutely scared out of me when a massive lizard jumped right above me to another tree..... Was about a metre long..... Also brought out a tick with me, so just check yourself when you leave. TFTC

Warm day again Cool, last day today from 1st to 31st of august geocaching straight as first time ever... Easy to find as hide very well thanks Smile
 
26-Aug-13
Found gz and waterfall easy, and what seemed to be the location, no luck finding the cache after a good half hour look!
Perhaps another set of eyes is required,
Pursue another day

That was fun

What an awesome container! Blended in extremely well to the surroudings! Awesome

On a cold winters morning, Patches108 and I set out from Adamstown up the fernleigh track, completeing the Toolbox Series followed by the Balls Out series then a few wild card caches around Kahibah. After they were complete, we took the long downhill ride towards Tingira Heights. After battling a relatively steep hill, we set off down the other side towards Eleebana completing the bird series. A quick lunch stop and we continued on the shore of Lake Macquaire towards Warners Bay, Speers Point, Argenton and onto the Wallsend to Glendale Cycleway home. We throughly enjoyed all the caches and wonderful spots we came across. TFTC
