Cool location thanks

Log was wet and cache was located a little way from coordinates but managed to find. Thanks for the find!

Found but with help from messages. Put back into a place hopefully won't get wet again. Needs maintenance.

Missed-ya - Looked and looked but could not locate. Tftc

On a holiday heading north, we have stayed in town to do some exploring and caching in the area. This was a very easy find, not sure it is in its correct spot at all, may need checking. TFTC

Thanks for this one

A bit far from gz. Needs some more paper, its wet.Loved the bush turkeys

Had fun on our run. Decided to have a look. Couldnt spot it.

Find#2493Found the log but it was saturated. Needs maintenance TFTC

High up TFTC

Within a 5m of location

Not sure if the location is off? Wasnt accessible

Very nice, good idea with the name of the cache.

Looked all around the area but still didn't find

Well I decided to come back today and found it quite some distance from where I expected it to be, so signed it and replaced where I think it should be. Greetings from England

Tftc, Paul and Lou from the Blue Mountains NSW. Travelling with Savannah traveler. Did some cahe maintenance too.

No joy here today

Loved this one the spot was just so good( log is drenched, might need a new one). TFTC

Thanks for the cache, log is soaked

Found it, obviously been put up out of wet and we have put back in the same spot. Should keep it dry. TFTC

Quick find today. Log mushy and unable to sign. Photo taken. Tftc

Found on the ground. Log completely wet.Not sure where its supposed to be, as I was about 10m from Coordinates.

FOUND IT! Though not in the place expectedAccording to the photos others have posted it seemed someone had moved the cache!May need attention but still great cache

Happy New Year! Found this one after a short search, on the ground but left it with a spob! Thank you for the cache! : )

A break in the stormy rainy weather led to a beautiful late morning here today. We walked past the stairs down to beach and all the way up to the lookout at the top of the hill. It was a gorgeous walk through some lush forest. The kiddos only made it halfway up and turned around to get ready for a swim so my husband and I made a quick dash into this section to grab this cache.On the way into the cache we almost stepped on a blue tongue lizard which almost made me jump out of my skin as I had just been thinking how much snakes would love this leaf litter to hide in.We found the cache not long after we started looking, although it was long enough as my heart was still pounding with every tentative step. Unfortunately it was on the ground and not working the way it was intended. We left it where it seemed to have been previously.Thanks for the cache!

The Big Bad Wolf has huffed and puffed too much as we found it on the ground. We improvised and managed to get it back together again. It could do with a CO check. TFTC

#12964 8:45Day 2 of a geocaching weekend North of Sydney, accompanied by Martin Cousins and Brewmaker. We signed to logs using our initials MCBID. The cache was found at a place where it should not have been. We put it together best as we could and moved it upwards. Some maintenance from the CO would be needed.TFTC bananaconcotion.

Walked from Shelly beach golf club to this cache, but it was quickly getting dark, would I find the cache before it got dark with the phone GPS going nuts in this reserve? Luckily cache was spotted in time, retrieved, signed and replaced. Thanks for the cache, Tftc

Wasn’t afraid of the big bad Wolf.
Found in between jobs en route to the next one, cheers

I found the remains of the big bad wolf's handiwork. But gps had me all over the place. No cache to be found. Someone found it today. According to the log list. Cant keep looking for ever.

Gosh what an idiot i am. Did my dnf log at my Gz. Then turned to leave and the cache almost jumped out and bit me. I didnt have a replacement sheet with me. But found a space on the page for my name. Thanks for the hunt. It was totally tubular. Have proof of find photos if required.

Tricky find! DH managed retrieval and replacement kept us on the edge... but it's back in place. TfTc

Found with Mac and Pig a few months ago but forgot to log. No room left on log so photo attached .Great cache!!

Yeah found it

??

Took a while to spot. Then I changed angles and saw. Tough and tricky climb. TFTC

Coolest spot ever I love ?? it

Heading to Budgewoi from Sydney for an engagement party and caching along the way. Saw the favourite points and thought we’d stop in to see what was going on. Reading the cache notes, we raided the first aid kit in anticipation of what we might have to do. This is a bit of a spooky little area. We poked around while the devices spun and finally spotted what we were after. Given Mrs Gaztek usually retrieves this type of container but is still recovering from a knee replacement, Mr G had to step up and make the grab. It was tricky. We think that this was a little different than when it was first placed and we didn’t need the TOTT we brought. Fun cache. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek

Great hide

Was passing through the area and couldn't resist checking out a cache with so many favourite points. And now I know why it has them - what fun it is to retrieve! I was nervous about needing to go further in order to return it, but the standing area was firmer than I thought and I had no trouble.

The log is "officially" full, in that the list of names goes down both sides of the paper, but there's still plenty of gaps around various names to add more notes, and I found one to leave my mark. But it's a small log for the cache size, so maybe it could be replaced soon with a fresh one anyway.

TFTC!

Found with CrazyCat17. Glad I him with me!

Thanks for the cache

We found it,it was so much fun looking for it But I wish i read the whole page before we started.

Last cache of the day (albeit on a short outing due to the warm weather!) - Really liked this one, a favourite point from us! TFTC ^_^

The wife and I'm first find, hooked now haha

Ladderal thinking will certainly come in handy! Found with the other butt pirates, tftc!

There's a long wait for fish and chips today, so we headed over to this reserve while Mum waited at the shops.

We had a quick look around at GZ before spotting the cache. Dad was sent in to retrieve the cache only to find that we didn't have a pen. The kids ran back to car while Dad waited.

Replacing the cache was a yad harder than retrieving it but we managed.

Thanks for the cache!

A lazy day at the beach or as close as we can get. Visited The Entrance, the pelicans, Shelly Beach and some caches.

Walked around in circles for a little while, and guess what, the cache was right in the middle. Nice contraption.

TFTC bananaconcoction

Found and signed. Not too sure what the cache name refers to though. Anyway TFTC

That was fun. The GPS took me to what would be a very technical climb, but then took pity on me and moved back to a ore realistic challenge. Thanks bananaconcoction.

Took a while but finally got it. TFTC

Not a spoiler

TFTc very height challenged

TFTC

Found it with my dad. Walked around the clearing for a bit and then spotted it. Lucky my dad had the agility to get it. The kookaburra was keeping watch. Great hide.TFTC

Very well hidden, took me a while to find it only cause I was so used to looking close to the ground

Found it TFTC

After walking in a muddy circle for 10 mins things were looking up when I located the hide where I didn’t expect to. tftc

We live around the corner from here and had no idea of this secret pocket in the park. Very cool, just watch the mozzies!

?

A spider was in the cache

Didn't take long to spot the cache but took slightly longer to retrieve the log to sign.
Thanks for the hide bananaconcoction.

Having a holiday from Queensland with muggle family from Sydney. Out and making sure we qualify for the 22.2.22 Deuces Wild Souvenir. Left the family at the cabin, fighing over who was going to cook the next meal! And headed south. Lovely drive from 2woon bay 2 terrigal.....

Skies looking heaving with storm, but we stopped over at this nice little reserve. Eventually found the way in, looked around and eventually spotted the hide. Signed and returned, just as the heavens opened. So we swam back to our car, dried off as best we could and continued on our way. Deuces Wild day! Deuces Wild Souvenir here I come.

Thanks bananaconcoction for the hide, but not sure how it connects to the story

The GPS was I bit vague under the trees, but I spotted it after walking around in circles for a bit. A fav point for the clever hide.

First Australian cache for over two years and then my daughter spotted it first. Took a photo as we are both vertically challenged and forgot to bring a ladder!

Such a good one ... littlest one found it

Thanks for the cache. Found with the kids

TFTC

Yahooo Mel’n’ Lil are at it again- great great cache - of course we had no pen!!! thank goodness for little monkey people - she made the find immediately!!

Decided to swing by this cache on the way back to our accommodation as it had a good number of FP’s!

Took us a while to eventually spot the cache amongst the bush and jumpy coordinates. We eventually found it, but it seems to be quite broken….. I can’t even figure out what was meant to happen / be done….

I had to climb the tree and retrieve the container / logbook manually, as it didn’t make much sense what else I was meant to do.

I think it will need some CO loving to bring it back to its intended hide!

Thanks

Found it! Clever and creative, this one earned a favourite point from me. I don't really understand how the 3 little pigs relate but it was still fun. Thanks!

TFTC Easy find

Found but down we can’t get it back up

Went back to add some swappables but found the cache on the ground, so replaced it to its rightful position.

Also found by the youngest 2 C’s on 11/8/21

Loved it. Clever and fun! Found by the newest member of the team - his first cache. Think he might be converted.

Yes! Very creative. Great hide!

What a fun find! Requires some agility and willingness for some adventure, thank you!

Found it - TFTC - encountered some
Spiders - all good

Went the long way but nice quick find

TFTC

No bad wolves or muggles here, and I didn't have to huff and puff to blow this cache down. TFTC

Good one! Thanks!

Tftc found with earthly65 very cool

Fave point for the container and the concept...haven't seen that done before...also for the entertainment...the look on Robbieracer66's face when he puffed and a spider came out and raced towards him him...tftc

I’m driving from Bateau Bay to Terrigal and figured I’d grab a few caches on the way.
I parked near GZ and found a way through to a clearing.

WOW!!.... That took way longer than it should have. With the description in mind I was faced with many piles of sticks and leaves around GZ and after searching many and even taking a photo of a Kookaburra that was metres from the cache I still hadn’t found the cache. I then stood back to reassess the area when the hiding spot presented itself.
SMH, how could I have missed that.
I retrieved the cache and after completing the formalities I returned the cache as found.

Find: 609
2nd of 10 finds for today
Cache condition: Good
Log/sheet: A temporary receipt log has been placed in container. The CO may want to put a new log in.

The first cache I ever found, back in the day

An exciting find! Lucky I had my little

Ripper

Found with @andelope. Would have missed it without him but arguably I had to do the rest of the work.

Finally found

So satisfying, thanks! Watch out for ants! We left a little coin for the next to find so take care opening

After attending the celebrations at Pioneer Dairy (Central Coast Wetlands) for World Wetlands Day last Tuesday which consisted of Breakfast with the Birds and a bird watching walk I headed over to the coast to Bateau Bay Beach.
That is some steep walk down to the beach!
It was very low tide with lots of exposed rocks which made the beach look interesting and very inviting.
There was even some very appropriate beach sculpture for a bird watching day, two penguins!

I went and had a look for this cache being as I had to park that far away from the beach, and after looking around decided to believe the GPS and there it was, very accurate co-ordinates!
I don't think the log was in the original container as I had a great deal of trouble getting it back in the camo.

TFTC # 4379

Looked and looked cant find... looks like more clearings have been done... could be wrong

Found with Shaneo58 on this beautiful sunny day, getting into the thirties. We made our way to GZ and were looking for Straw, sticks oe bricks and finnaly made the find, I don't think the cache is as insalled initialy, so could the CO check on this.
Log signed and cache replaced as found.

**Thanks For The Cache** bananaconcoction.

This is the 5th cache of 13 for today making a grand total of 2982 at 11:29:00 AM on Thu 21Jan2021

Found it. The proper cache is behind the added bit in front. TFTC Bananaconcotion.

Found it! We added some more paper, because the log was so old.

Tftc needs a new log but cool cache

Great find. Careful of mozzie in dusk. Comments helped. No log. Thankyou

After a little search low and high, we found this cache after a climb nice and dry.
