I have had requests to check that SSC#4 is there.Confirm it is waiting for an observant finder.
Found while on an unsuccessful trip for a nearby waypoint, so nice to grab this one about 8m East of where the coordinates had me initially hunting.
Find #: 3,353Companions: NoneMuggles: Plenty watching a cricket match, but none paying any attention to meWeather: Pleasant spring morningCache condition: GoodI had been in Cronulla to run the parkrun (keen!) and was on the way home. I parked right at the posted GZ, but it took a little while to find the container even with the noted correction to apply. TNLNSL TFTC
NayEla Found as we walked towards GZ, taking into account the coordinates hint from previous fingers. TFTC
Found It!
With the CITO event been held here, we had a look for this cache while here. After a lot of searching (including by some that had found it before) we eventually found it about 10m to the east of the listed coordinates. It seems to be a micro now to, not a small.

Thought I was going to have a DNF but eventually found about 8m from GZ where I thought it would have been. Signed log. TFTC
Searched for around 15 minutes and gave up because we couldn’t see anything that looked like it was out of place or would contain a cache.
Finally rectified this one! Searched for it so many times since my first DNF with no luck and finally found it! Nice and easy this time actually
Signed log and returned as found

Out doing some maintenance this morning after different comments on some of the caches in this series and personal messages about problems. Thanks to those who advised me about problems.
All good here.
All good here.
Heading home from an overnight visit in Sydney, made a quick stop to add some points to the Labyrinth challenge. Only managed a couple in this series today where I could park close and walk. May have to come back with a bike or less tired for a walk another day to do more.
Have some ideas of what the cache is, unfortunately there were too many muggles parked close by, will have to attempt at a later date!
I came in to this one thinking along a different train but ended up finding the familiar hide by conducting a systematic search. It’s definitely still there. TFTC wazza9
I thought the last weekend before community sport restarts would be a great time to search and it was indeed nearly deserted... but after a good 15mins, DNF. Past logs make it sound like it's hiding in plain sight...
I believe that as long as people cache in a COVID safe way, there is no longer a need to disable this cache.
Take care.
Take care.
Found the first container with log. Did not find second container for swaps or trackables.
A quick find during the GCNSW CITO event. Log signed as GZ and CB to save space. TFTC!
Nice cache. Signed log. It is now a micro not a small. Wife got a good laugh of how obviously not obvious this one is! Thanks for the cache!

Lets hope the problem has gone away and I can once again make my caches available for all to find and enjoy.
We found the spot but someone had dug it up and taken it. there was just a hole where it was buried.
Had no luck finding this one today, spent about half an hour searching both high and low, but came out empty handed. Will have another crack when I’m in the area again
Searched way too hard for that. Kicked ourselves when we found it. Great spot!!
Now that took me much longer than it should have! Had an idea of what type it may have been but GPS had me elsewhere. Looked a bit further and there it was. Nice clean paper too! No room for my trackable in this cheeky hide.
Cords pretty jumpy, just searched every possible spot and was too long before CIH
Didn't take long to find this once we knew what we were looking for. Nice little spot. TFTC
Hey wazza9, wondering if this one's still in action? I note it hasn't been found for a little while, tried today but the area it's in is a mess. Photo attached.
I was driving nearby so decided to take a small detour and find this cache in the Sutherland Shire Cycleways Series. Managed to park the car right near GZ and then it was just a short walk across. Had an idea what I was looking for, but unfortunately I was on the wrong side and a detailed search for 10 minutes turned up nothing. So then I changed my position and found the cache almost immediately right at GZ. Doh! Signed the log and replaced it all as found. Found with SmudgyCat, during the Cache Carnival event. Too bad I missed finding the original creative cache. Unfortunately the nearby toilet block was closed, doh!! TFTC
I found the Sutherland Shire Cycleways - Cache #4 trad cache at Taren Point with GeodudeAU
I have placed a temporary micro in plain view until a new camo is constructed.

5 1/2 years without a problem and now twice it's gone walkabout.
Sorry, I can't theme the replacement the same at present.

On a shopping bus trip with WaywardWoman that stopped nearby. Headed over but being time limited even with WWs help, couldn't find it
Thanks for putting together this neat cache I hope it remains safe this time around.
After a message from a cacher last night, I checked the cache out this morning.
Sure enough it had been disturbed. The cammo had been moved and the container removed.
It is back in place for the last time. If it is disturbed again, it will be replaced with a micro.
All I can do is ask that everyone please take care that they are using extreme caution and make sure you are not observed.
Also, so that everyone has the same experience as you, please do not include spoiler comments or photos in your logs.

Great hiding spot but log paper had pencil scribbled all over. Would recommend erasing or replacing paper. TFTH
A Saturday afternoon visit to Flower Power brought us to the Shire. Parked right nearby GZ. Clever in-your-face hide. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
#1807 came here early in the morning no one was about. Saw a spot near where I parked where I thought I really want to check there but my GPSr was saying 9 metres away. Walked to that spot but nothing of interest there. So back to the spot I wanted to try and I had the cache in hand. Looked at the GPSr and it now said 1 metre. I suppose sometimes when you are driving the GPSr takes a while to settle going from 60 ks to 1 k
Signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache wazza9

After parking near GZ it was only a short stroll to this very exposed cache. SL and replaced as found. TFTC Wazza.
Started the day's caching with this one. Solid find that was easy to access. Nice job. TFTC
