Came to revisit the cache but was unable to find it. Maintenance may be required
Here at the right time for the tide - looked all over the rock ledge and moved stones around too. No luck today but a lovely quiet spot on the harbour 
Searched and searched no luck today feel like we were at the spot but missing
Yup its still there. Not sure I'd call it a 2 star terrain. Nice spot to watch the boats go by. TFTC!
No joy for the tribe here. But probably not the right time given what I read in the attributes. TFTC. Lovely spot.
Looking at the images seemed I chose the wrong time. That's ok but now the climb back.
Performed a cache check on behalf of the owner, all in order here, the pearl is still there to be found 
My last day in Sydney so I planned a crazy geocaching route around some coves and bays.My geosenses are totally off whack today! Another DNF!
Had passed this location before but was not the right time to visit, so with the afternoon off work today, I checked and timing looked perfect. After a scramble around I found the cache, though I made it harder work for myself then I really needed too. Thanks, great idea and pearls a cool addition.
Really liked the cool cache. Great camo and nice place to hide with good views. Took about15 minutes TFTC
Great container. Found open in plain sight, so I replaced it a bit more discretely. TFTC
After an exhausting hour of not giving up, we finally found it! Just a little help to the next person: look high and there are no picnic tables or wading. Someone moved it. Next to a rock.
CLUE: don't whack your head under branches or hit your head under rocks!
I. the thing is there

No luck after a long search. Will have to return in more appropriate clothing and footwear.

Lucky enough to arrive at low tide and cache was soon CIH. Nice start to a Balls Pt adventure! TFTC
After having found Circle View, we continued on towards this one. Also here we at first ended up at the wrong level before realising where we were supposed to be.
Once there, we soon found the nicely created cache. Dropped a TB.

Found a few months back without a pen, so finally returned to immortalise my name in one of my favourite caches. TFTC!
It's for caches such as these thay I'm greatful I can give favorite points.
This was my first "may require wading" so I had my gumboots ready to go, but I came at low tide.

Beautiful little morning stroll while in Sydney for work. Lovely spot, great cache

It was nice to feel like I was searching for the cache I hid years ago when I lived in the Wondakiah apartments nearby. I'm glad that it's weathered through time, but still has some charm to it. I can't remember his geocaching ID, I think akkatracker or his friend mended this cache. Whoever it was, THANK YOU!
Maintenance performed. Logsheet was dried and it's all good now.

With the sun going down and the winds picking up, I decided to head down. Took a little while to find the right spot. Log book is damp and could do with a day in the sun. TFTC
One more fossick at low tide and I located shell. Very nice quiet beach to wander along. Thanks for cache dragonfly jm
We went during high tide and so had to do some pseudo-rock climbing to get to it, do not recommend. Either way, TFTC!
This cache was a bit of a challenge. We came at high tide so it took a while to figure out how to get down to the cache, had to do some climbing and whatnot but it was found quickly once down there. TFTC
TfTC! Didn't have a pen in hand so have attached a photo for proof. We often walk along this little route but have never ventured into the beach before. Thanks for bringing us down here
Finally found it. What a lovely, peaceful spot. Didn't have a pen so took a photo as proof. TFTC.
Staying with family just up the road.
GPS` was quite accurate, but experience was more help in finding the scallop shells.
Cute cache.

Really liked this one, ditched the GPS and relied on geosense, didn't take long before I had a well crafted cache in hand. TFTC
Is it a clam or is it an oyster, whatever it's a mollusk, with pearls no less. Parked at the end of Ross Street and walked down the steps and along the beach - chose to come here at low tide but did notice that there is more than one way to access the beach. The phone was playing up so I just had to use the geo senses. After a short search I had my hands on the prize. TFTC.
Came by Wollstonecraft area with the specific aim to help a TB get a ride. Had a little time spare so explored some of the nearby caches ... such as this one!

Tried at first to go the 'easy' way via the steps but the tide, while not high, wasn't low enough to get to GZ. So decided to take the direct route - which turned out to be easier than it looked. Amazingly, found this gem (or is that pearl) of a cache in the first place I looked.

I suffered a dnf here a couple of years back after an extended search.
The disappointment of it was intensified today when I realised I’d been over-thinking it.
Much simpler than I had imagined, and just slightly outside the area I’d given such a thorough search last time.
What a lovely spot.

Another walk along the harbour to Greenwich Point for the ferry home, this time from Waverton Station collecting two unfound cache on the way. This cache I past over a year ago with the tide too high. Seeing the low tide this evening was the reason to head over here after work. Once on the beach I had a quick look on the iPhone for the GZ however spotted a likely hide from a distance which proved to be a success. Excellent container, cache and log in great condition. Now off to find some treasure. TFTC Mahout. #778

Only barely got there in time to avoid getting my feet wet. Then a quick find after a scramble down. Nice touch with the camo

No joy. I may need a new hobby. I crawled all over the place with no luck. Thank goodness I didn’t get caught in that big spider’s web.
Lots of steps and tricky foreshore eventually led to cache. Very nice pearls.

Took time to find this cache as we were looking on the level above where it was. Good location, good beach and great cache.
Found with AUSHAZ and ahper. TFTC.

#328. No better way to spend a public holiday than some geocaching in a new area! This one took a long search and I’d actually started to walk away defeated, until I decided to have one more go as it sounded like such a great cache. And sure enough I found it straight away. So it was all worth it! TFTC!
Had troubles finding what level the cache is on so retreated to the cache description and log photos till realising that it was on the beach level. Approached GZ and found the cache fairly quickly Ahper with the find.

Found after a short search on the wrong level and then arrived at the right level and found quickly. Nice container .tftc
Found it after a bit of a search. Co ords not too bad. A great little beach and we got here with the tide doing the right for us. We have gone from Pirates treasure to pearls. A rich morning indeed. TFTC
