A Fiddaman Find Emerald Beach, New South Wales, Australia
By earthly65 on 27-Sep-12. Waypoint GC3XMT4

Sadly i think its time to archive this cache...keeps being taken despite attempts to move cache to keep it safe..high muggle area...cache placed here to give cachers a lil break (the coffee is good)...also hot food available...i will look for another location for a new cache in the area...happy caching

DNF despite having s very good dig around the round garden bed at the front of the shop. The owner said they have been at the shop for 1 1/2 years & haven’t heard of anyone finding the cache.

Couldn’t find anything

Couldn't find anything, owner believes is not there anymore too.

cache was missing..
new "micro"..."magnetic" cache in place..please be strategic..muggle central here most of the time!...happy caching!

No luck

It was pretty easy but alot of muggles

Ha aha

Catching up on old finds.

This was a nice and easy find while we waited for our fish and chips.

Looking for a yellow box we thought there may be one here. People having coffee so tactics were in hand. Thanks for the cache

Quick find here when I read the co last post!
On our hols from the UK
TFTC

found garden with mulch, I tried several times so many mugglers around. Even went back in the dark and dug around the garden several times to no avail. Is it still there?

DNF
I am new to this - so probably just me. I have only found one cache so far & I was very excited, but no luck today.

TFTC, I returned today after seeing the missing cache had been replaced and with the new info and hint a quick find was had.

Gone again...groan!!!...this time we have changed location slightly...new cache is approx 4 metres from last gz...is magnetic, and new hint is "post"...will update cache page when home...please be as stealthy as u can in this very popular spot...cache now ready for easter cachers...happy caching

Another DNF in this area, 3rd out of 6. All I found was a little pencil which was probably once in the cache.

Pretty sure its gone, needs checking on.

couldn't find the cache unfortunately. Had a hard look at the little circle rock garden but couldn't see it there, looked near the clothes bin and couldn't see it there and had a decent look on the left side garden of the shop. We might not have looked hard enough if it could be taken...

Back again after a couple of years and thought I would see if this cache was still here and sure enough so signed log again TFTC

Nice quick park and grab with the CO. Thankyou for the cache

No coffee or ice cream for me today, but a well hidden cache. Well done. Thank you for the cache earthly65

Nice hide thanks for the cache

This tricky devil has eluded us for many years...always here in school holidays, always a very high muggle area...but geokid and I stepped out after the shop was closed tonight...needed the clue but can finally record a find!!

Hi we found it 17/09/2016

Nice easy find on a drive through after some kangaroo spotting. Thanks for bringing us here.

Cute corner shop, TFTC!

**# 14525** Found on our extended 2016 winter escape trek.
An excellent day for a drive around the coast line with Ski Pair.
A quick find here thankfully while there were no muggles around.
Thanks for the cache earthly65,

This was our second find this afternoon in the company of Roostaman.
A quick stop and with two sets of eyes a quick find was also made.
TFTC

Still there has been updated nice spot

Great find with the cheesy chips

Very easy still in fake rock

New cache in place....happy caching

Missing again after only eight finds...glad it wasnt a costly container this time at least....sorry cachers...will replace asap

Stolen.

Couldn't find it asked shop owner and he said its not there

Down in the area for work and had s few minutes to spare as I drove down the highway.
Great little detour
Unfortunately the cache was out in the open and open. After the recent wet weather pages on log are damp so couldn't write on it
Have closed it up and hidden (but not too hard) again

Hi there!

It took Taio and me a while, but we got there in the end. If you're stuck, ask shop owner for help.

Found it super easy!

Found!! Shabz72!

Found this first. Got to be sneaky to avoid the niggles.

Travelling north to see my girlfriend Touchstone7 and bluesfest, decided to stop in and do a bit of caching along the way with my geodaughter.

Looking around this one didn't initially want to be found, but after letting the GPS calibrate itself, had me fairly close to the correct area and I found it within a few minutes. A couple locals (I think) asked if we were on an Easter egg hunt, but explained the concept of caching, then went to get an icecream and a drink for the little one.

Thanks for the cache earthly65
Re-logging late

Drove down from Brisneyland this morning and found myself here with Genghicat and muggle mum and a munchkin named Tomiqcat. What awesome weather the locals turned on for the long weekend

GC and I must have looked under every bush but the right one and then I spotted something a little bit unusual and the cache was in our hands. Time for drinks and ice cream seeing as we are here

On we rolled... (nice to have a navigator)

TFTC earthly65!

Travelling North to see Bluesfest, decided to stop in and do a bit of caching along the way. Ms Maddy was down from Qld, so we decided to take advantage of the good weather and team up together.

Returned to this one this arvo as I had seen the cache had been replaced, so we wanted to find it before it goes missing it again. Sure enough found cache and signed log. Hopefully this one will stay there for a while.

TFTC

Too many muggles near GZ for a good look for cache today but this cache is taken often so assumed it wasnt there and have replaced it....cache is now just an ordinary container hopefully noone will want to take...happy caching!

Spent some time here looking for this one and didn't find it today.

TFTC Earthly65

Found but the log is missing

Spent a little time looking for this one but couldn't find it. Sigh!

TFTC. Great little hide. Shop owner came out and pointed me in the right direction. The decoy had me I thought oh no it's been ruined. Log was a little damp.

It was a small challenge, but we found it! Left a note 29.11.15

Our very first Geocache, needed a hint from a friend.

Easy find - 2 caches signed one.. TFTC and greeting from New Zealand

Bought a drink and sat on the seat next to the cache and waited for the moment nobody was watching to go for the grab. Signed log and waited again to replace back. Lots of muggles but we were stealthy. TFTC

Stealthy. Found 2 actually one with and one without the log.

Great spot! Very busy with muggles! There are 2 cache 'containers' - one with a log and one without. Keep hunting if you find the one with the log missing.

Took us around 10 minutes to find. Treasures was hidden away very well!

Had me baffled for a while, nicely done!

Found it by starlight. No muggles in sight. Great cache!

TFTC Found after a lovely seafood pizza from up the road. Our first cache in the dark in Australia.

Found in the dark after having a yummy seafood pizza. You may need tweezers to remove the log as we had to use a pen lid. TFTC

Quick find for the kids

Cache in place

Apologies cachers....cache was replaced but i missed reenabling...new cache in place and replacement given to establishment owner in case it goes missing again...happy caching

Groan!...not again...cache was a fake rock keyhide...someone has taken a fancy to the container...again!...will have to make the next replacement something annoying muggles will be less likely to consider a prize...thanks for the dnf log alerting me.

I live in emerald so decided to take a look. After looking for a while I asked shop owner. She said it was stolen for the second time this Easter holidays. So annoying!

Looked for a while and didn't find. Confirmed with store owner that we were in the right place- after looking with store owner we are pretty sure it's gone ;(

Camouflage challenge. Had a little help. Thanx!

Yeeeew thanks for replacing it earthly65!! Dacrew got FTF with the new book on a heccas hot day! TFTC

Cache replaced....again!

Happy caching!

No luck today

Went to cache and pencil and description thing were scattered and no sign of log book anywhere near by!!

VERY VERY high muggle area this morning, hard to even have a super slueth look. We will have to come back to this one.

Nice quicky. TFTC

Ahh.thank goodness another nice easy one.TFTC.

Replaced missing cache with temporary container, probably won't last very long.

Pretty sure it's been muggled. Confirmed with shop owner. Replaced with a temporary container and log, hope that's OK cache owner?

Couldn't find it. We were looking for the right thing but apparently somebody else has helped it to themselves. Not sure when it will be replaced.

Good spot very camouflage , but log book is wet

Found it all by ourselves thanks. Log still very wet

The log books a little mouldy, thing camouflage with brad1987

TFTC. Log needs replacing as very wet. Foung with gummybear7

Found while on holidays
Log is very wet and mouldy didn't have a new one on me high muggle area
TFTC

Found it after a clue from the shopowner. The given hint confused us. TFTC from the Netherlands.

Could not find it, so we asked shop owners for approximate location. They were very helpful. However, the paper log was wet and mouldy and should be replaced.

Haha as simple as it is still took me a bit. Coordinates are a little off but all good tftc

Wonderful food and wonderful staff.

Found on a trip to Woolgoolga stopped off at Emarald Beach site seeming and found a cache yah

Found this little one hiding. Took a while to find, great camo.

Very clever cache. Found with geo nephew and grand daughters. Geo nephew now addicted

Quick find while staying with friends nearby who are new to geocaching. The kids loved finding the cache. Unfortunately forget a pen so couldn't sign the log. TFTC

Way too muggly here today with the skool holiday crowds adding to the steady stream of hungry workers

Some muggles were sitting on one of the picnic tables at the front so we went in and bought an icecream each to give us a reason to do the same. They left but another muggle replaced them. As I had heard him ordering his lunch I knew he wouldn't be there too long.
Once he left a quick find was made. Cache was upside down and the sticker made it stand out. Replaced the correct side down. Thanks.

Found at 11:45 AM GAFF1. A very nice match to the other ones Not many muggles about, so we could easily find and sign the log.
Thanks earthly65.

A beautiful day to be out & about around the area for 'Cache A Day' - August... Love exploring this fantastic country and always love visiting new area's...

A bit of a search, made the grab, signed log & replaced...

Thanks for bringing me here...

*Cache Condition ~ Fine

In the area on a short holiday with my family. A beautiful area. TFTC.

Our First find for a geocaching day out. TFTC
