No finds since the start of the year and no maintenance, maybe time to archive?
Another dnf. We had no time to take a long look. And no data to check on hints and posts.
This was my last one today. Grumpy muggle hubby prevents me from doing more today. But I had fun with the ones I did. Hopefully back later in week to finish off. Thanks for setting it up subi-two .
Before heading to Sydney we took the opportunity to hike this trail which led us thru the forest and part of Shoal Bay.
It was a pleasant walk with a few ups and downs, didn't meet much folks out there.
Luckily we found all caches except those already logged as DNF by other cachers and the bonus whose coordinates can't be determined as some numbers / caches are missing.
No luck right here

Works have been completed, but if it's still here it's to good for me tonight. Can CO please check?
Back in the area to find the rest of this series that I didn't have time for last year!
Visited this one twice but way too many Muggles to even consider trying this one. Next Time!

Cache is currently inaccessible due to works at GZ. I suggest the cache gets temporarily disabled.
Work underway in this area may have been disturbed or nano small with plenty of muggles (!)
This was hard. Although I had a good look, I didn't find anything. Argh. I'll be back.
Just love it when the muggles look at you as if you are mad! Nice discreet hide. TFTC JenneG and Budgy
As we planned our trip to Newcastle, a lot of this nice round in Nelson Bay. Today we went on a very hot day with our bicycles and could find containers for containers. 
Unfortunately we had DNF's at No. 4 and No. 25 to No. 28, so we could not determine the bonus. 
Too bad, would be nice if the round was complete again.
It was hot and with the bicycles the route was not easy, but the environment was nice and varied. Great views of the sea and the birdsong accompanied us constantly. [^]
**For numbers 1 and 35 give it a favorites point.**
> Thank you very much for the containers of the Moorhelmi's from Germany.

Done this trail six or so months ago when I was newer to geocaching only to realise I haven't logged all my finds. Great trail highly recommend the walk. Did this with family who are also geocachers. Would love to see another trail or something extended for a good excuse to come back and visit nelsons Bay again. We did live in Maitland but relocated to cold and windy Goulburn near Canberra for work. Keep up the good work 
TFTC subi-two. Another easy find for N04. Writing space at a premium, so initials it was. Jimmytherat with Noelle04: JTR & N04.
We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.
Too many muggles around to be able to have a proper look for this one, despite sitting down for a picnic lunch at GZ!
After Sydney, it's our second geocache in Australia ! Clessou need some help to find ! TFTC
Today we walked the Nelson Bay to Shoal Bay power trail. 09:00 till 13:30, with breaks on beaches and parks. Great job to both the CO and my kids
TFTC (very boring, but so is logging 30+ caches)

The little cache blends in very well with the surrounding structure but we found it and signed the log.

Together with Akirey I spent some days in Nelsons Bay. I did a little cache tour and found some nice caches. This one was one of them.

Today is the third day of our little holiday in Nelson Bay and we decided to continue our walk along the Nelson Bay to Shoal Harbour Power Trail. We again headed to the beach front but this time, we headed south, continuing up and over the headland. We had a very pleasant walk along the track and thought it was probably more pleasant than our walk a few days ago. There was plenty of bird life about and some of the views were spectacular. As was the case for the remainder of the series, all caches were found easily.
Thank you subi-two for having placed the cache series and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Could not find a number here but got this one easy when you have an idea of what to look for all ok TFTC.
It was a perfect day for geocaching in the Port Stephens area so we decided to get the last of this series that we missed before. Luckily this time GZ was not occupied by muggles so a quick sit down and the cache was found. TFTC
Up to Port Stephens from Sydney for the ANZAC Day Wknd. Thanks for the tip moto501, easy find, thankfully GZ was muggle free! Nice new log. TFTC

No luck with this one this morning, only 37 meters from my room. Will have ago next time, thanks.
Found on yet another day of caching with Tack123. Muggles make this one harder!!

After todays walk we hit the beach here. Kept nipping up to check on the muggle situation and eventually the coast was clear and we had our find. Log book full however and we had no nano logbooks with us.

Took us a few days we found it when it was raining as people were always hanging around.
We have travelled up from Sydney to Port Stephens, camping at the Lemon Tree Passage Big4 Koala Shores caravan park, for our annual summer holiday. Today, with the rain finally gone and the sun once again shining, we set out to target caches in the Shoal Bay area. This was the 7th find of the day, 28th find of the holiday.
After finding "NTSBPT 28" we turned around and started walking back towards the geomobile along the Shoal Bay beachside walkway. We had skipped this one on our first pass because GZ was infested with muggles, but it was all OK now so we moved in for the search.
Soon spotted the tiny cache container, and then had CIH. Unfortunately the log is completely full, so could not sign. But we did snap a photo of the container in it's hide, so can supply that as proof of finding if required. TFTC.

9975. Found during a weekend visit to the Newcastle/Nelson Bay region.
With most of the day available for caching I decided to head up and try out this Power Trail. Parked at #1 and walked the loop finding all but one of the available Traditionals. The walk up the back side was a bit hard in the heat but the walk along the beach front made up for that ! All were found fairly quickly and easily. All in all a most enjoyable walk/caching run. The Final I'll have to leave for a return visit.
Thanks subi-two ! Well worth the effort to complete this PT.
TNLN - TFTC !!
