Found It!I approached this one from the west which is probably the harder way to do it but the tide was out so I didn't need to get wet feet. A quick find once I got to GZ, and a great spot for a cache!TFTC
We're over in Sydney for 10 days visiting one of our sons and picking up a few caches. Enjoyed the walk around here from Clovelly and picking up this cache. Such a lovely area, TFTC
Located at 9:12am. #1590.Full log to follow. FP + 1. ! Baruch Hashem! TFTC! Much obliged for the placement Superslothsonya!Kindest Regards, - Alephroom.
Bit of a scramble from the car park end but an easy find. Collected a Traveling Coin which I'll take to England. TFTC.
Thanks very much for the cash. Well placed great view pro tip approach from the car park and not Gordon Bayside. otherwise youll be doing lot more scrambling and going a lot farther and have the potential to do a a lot more wading Took the bare bug and will speed it on its way most likely back to America
TFTC, lovely spot with some fun rock hopping to go with it. Found with my dads collgue on a trip to sydney
Found it on my last day in Sydney. Nice spot, not so easy to get there. I'd recommend to go at low tide, have good shoes and better not alone
Wow the rock scramble in was a bit more of a challenge but fun. In hindsight sight the approach from the north would have been easier but I had fun.TFTC
TFTCOut and about in the Sydney area. Visiting this wonderful country from Canada, for the last month.Having a great time, but it's our last day here.
Came for a snorkel. Too rough and too murky. A little clambering was required with kiwisteve2 and tessa-bella. Tftc
While doing the Bondi to Codgee walk a few months ago, I had my eye on this one. Great rock hopping to a cache with the beautiful views of Gordons Bay. Unfortunately at that time I got a DNF and indeed the cache was missing. Now replaced and coincidently at a beach cleanup event I made my way up to the cache while picking up trash. With a full bag I arrived at gz and quickly found the cache. This plastic container can stay right here Thanks, love this place and the fact that this blue dot is now yellow!!Tftc & fp!
Great hide, just down the road from home, nice excuse to go for a rock scramble with the kids
Had no luck, even with the hint. It looks like its been muggled or something. It was a really fun walk across the rocks though. Next time Ill leave my stuff behind, cause I made things much harder keeping all of my beach stuff with me.
What a cool mini-adventure along the beautiful coast to get to this one - well hidden, but saw some colour in a not too colourful spot, TFTC
Tftc good hide tricky terrain but got there in the end also left travel bug in cache
Tough hunt for that hidey spot with TuksaGalva. Built up quite the sweat looking around! Was worth it to finally find it! TFTC!
Oh, what a hide! Took us a bit of search, but me and McLaaamb86 did not want to give up after crawling through those rocks! Success!
Cache container has been replaced, including a fresh Log sheet in a bag. It is in a new hiding spot an arms reach from the previous spot where it probably fell down through the holes between the rocks. Sorry no SPORler photo!
#12818 15:55Today a visit to the Eastern Suburbs to make a start with clearing out my geo-map.A nice rock scramble with some great views along the way. I met up with Everest High to do a cache check. At GZ we spend a long time searching for the cache but concluded it was no longer there.Everest High had a spare container with him, and after replacing the cache I was able to log it.TFTC superslothsonja and Everest High for maintaining.Fav for the nice location!
Many thanks to Everest High who replaced the cache on my behalf to keep it available
Cool rock 'climbing' here! I excavated the whole site of the spoiler pic, but nothing there. I'm afraid it's missing, or placed elsewhere.
Neat trek out here! No pen today and none in the cache. Would be room for one if the next finder has a spare! TFTC.
This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 12704.
This was a great adventure up and down and round rocks as I made my way to the GZ! Once there the cache took a bit of hunting down but I eventually spotted it, I realise now there are spoiler photos!
Thanks superslothsonya for the cache.

Very interesting spot. Took a while to find.wished I have something to put in it for other people.
Amazing location, left a Geocoin that's traveled all the way from Germany, through Thailand and finally landed here

Initially went from the wrong side and thought, wow that’s not 3.5. But then wen from the other and it was quite simple and pleasant! Water shoes came in clutch! TFTC Fav for nice spot and adventure.
It was nice and dry on the rocks and convinced that we were going to get the job done, we set off during our coastal walk from Bondi to South Cogee. The start went well, although we had to navigate around a lot of sunbathing people and their towels. At a certain point it became a bit more difficult and we had to 'climb', but we still arrived fairly quickly at GZ and the cache was soon found there in good condition.
Then the really difficult part started and a local watched our progress from the sea and shouted to us that a difficult part was coming. We first crawled under a rock and ended up in a ravine. That was successful.
But not long after that the rock went down about 3.5 meters and that was difficult because now you couldn't see where to put your feet!!! Fortunately, our hero from the sea was close by to rescue us and he pointed out where our feet should be and supported us as we clambered down. Really so happy with his help! After that it went smoothly again and we stood on the sand again with trembling leg muscles. Mission accomplished. Fav in. TFTC

we saw bluey snorkelling before finding the cache! Tricky rock going but we made it!
Well this got the blood pumping on our coastal walk today. Tide was coming in fast so we had to channel our inner Spiderman at one point, but thankfully made it. Squashed finger while replacing the cache's door, so retained a nice souvenir from the journey. FP for the adventure. Thanks!

While visiting family in Sydney, we did the Bondi to Coogee walk. Of course we had to go geocaching along the way!
I took mr 9 to this one, while mr 5 and geomum headed up on the easier one. After a bit of rockhopping we found it! The image was very helpful!
I also found a trackable, which i will take back to New Zealand with me!
TFTC!

Thrilling walk to gz. I checked the tides before starting the Coogee to Bondi walk, and knew there was a chance of getting wet thanks to the high tide forecast.
Thankfully I had sandals on hand for the last bit of the walk to GZ. The spoiler photo came in very handy.
It was a beautiful day to visit Gordon's Bay and to make this find with Sharanyaexpress. Thanks heaps for the hide.

TFTC! I always love rock hopping around here (make sure to check the tides!). Dropped TB.
found on a beautiful sunny day! i had once tried this from the direction suggested in the description but for some reason never made it to GZ. today i tried from the gordons bay end as i have been planning ever since. i love rock hopping and got to GZ from Gordons Bay with ease. one large rock i had to climb down had some helpful hand holds carved out. tftc
Wow! That was quite the scramble!

Took a moment to find. Always read the description kids. Nice views. Legs are wobbly now lol TFTC!
That was a tough one. I came from the east side, and it was quite a challenge to find a way through the rocks. Finally, I made it cache location. On the way back, I have choosen to go into the other direction. That way was much better, as written in the cache description. However, very exiting walk. TFTC
Wet and slippy rocks in the rain, not long after high tide, did not fill me with confidence!
My first in Australia! Well hidden but a satisfying find. Thanks Afro69 for the help. Tftc!
Replaced with new cache, slightly further south (~1m from tree). Will post photo to narrow down search area for use as required
Went to check on cache, couldn't find it Looks like there has been a significamt amount of rock movement around gordons bay, incl a number of the very large boulders at gz, and parts of the concrete track leading to the bay washed away or covered in rubbble! @_@ Will sort out a replacement cache asap!
After a bit of searching I looked at the logs and determined I must be at the wrong level. Nice spot anyway.
Quick check - refreshed contents Left the trackable there for next finder!
Shame about bluey. There are loads of people snorkelling here today and it’s an unseasonably warm day. I wasn’t going to grab this cache when I realised the terrain but it wasn’t as bad as I had thought. The last 3 star terrain I retrieved was panorama cache and that was a solid 9 hour round trip LOL! Sat for a while and enjoyed the solitude of this spot and smelled the tree blossoms that were out and wafting on the breeze. I’d love to come back here one day and do some snorkeling. TFTC
yes!! I planned this on a work from home day and also when the tide would be low in my lunch break. All aligned today then I realised part way there I forgot my pen, so relieved there was one there!! Awesome cache and a good rock scrambling workout to add to my walk!
A fun scramble with pristine views to this GZ. Found the hide after a short search, excellent condition. SL Cheesefromarj, Dwilkox and Sarahw TFTC
I've been wanting to find this cache for a long time and was pleasantly surprised that it was not as difficult as I thought it would be.
Made my way there just as the tide was coming in, so got wet feet on the return journey.

We did walk to the top of the cliff first, then back to Victory St. to rock jump to GZ. GZ pretty much no people and beautiful waters. Signed. Trying to find an easy way out instead of going back the same way, a local told me to go behind a crevice up to the path. Yay, survived. TFTC
Refreshed cache contents... please make sure lid is on securely and cache is out of view!!!
TFTC! Great spot though two times we tried the wrong way!!! DO NOT TRY THIS FROM PATH OR GORDONS BAY BEACH SIDE!!!! We tried both and path means 20m drop and Gordon’s way means very hard scramble through rocks! Size a little over rated - I’d classify it as small rather than regular, but a great cache spot! Cache does stink a bit, but I guess it can’t be helped!
