#11246 - 2:17:00 PM; In Newcastle for a few days R & R with the geohoney. It was quite windy as we headed out past Nobby's Beach along the breakwater, but not so windy as to prevent caching along the way. After we wrapped up our stroll about Nobby's and the breakwater, we headed south along the coast for a leisurely drive ending up at Kotara for a look. The geohoney undertook some retail therapy which provided an opportunity for me to grab some caches, including this one. The posted coords had me at the goods entrance, but the hint put me on the right track and I soon had cache in hand and log signed. TFTC Grub Fred Smile

2nd time shopping here within a month (first time too) saw this last time and was keen to get now. Decided to go with the hint rather than the coords whixh wanted me 15m the other way.

Made a quick find, used to be nice cache, needs a bit of TLC atm (see picture).

Thank you Grub Fred for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Stopping nearby to get some lunch and avoid the mozzies that had been attacking me all morning I checked to see if any caches nearby and noticed this one, So I cam for a look and a quick find took the cache back to my car to avoid any muggles and had to use tweezers as the log had been jammed in too tight, it was now a crumpled mess that was just mush and impossible to unravel without it falling to pieces, I put in a new piece of paper that hopefully will be replaced the same way to avoid it being squished again. I have the crumpled mush if the CO would like it next time I see him. Thanks for a great creative cache Grub Fred fav point for the creativity tnln sl

Nice and easy find. Watch out for muggles during the day
 
27-Jan-20
Found it! Great little cache.
Log inside has been crushed and can’t get it out. Needs replacing
Loved it though great spot
 
27-Jan-20
Fun find! Log seemed to be squished inside may need replacing. Smile
 
17-Jan-20
Watching dad walk back to cover soaked to the skin from the rain might just be the highlight of my day.
 
17-Jan-20
Find number 4715.

We made a quick find at GZ before Mrs Booo (obviously the brains here) did the smart thing and retreated as the sky opened up. Mr Booo shielded the log as he opened the cache in the downpour and fumbled with the phone, cache and pen.

Thanks Grub Fred for placing this cache
 
09-Jan-20
My first geocache this year! The hint gave it away - as soon as I was in the area (didn’t even check GZ anymore), I knew where to look at. TFTC, nicely done!
 
08-Jan-20
Found this cool container today while caching. The co ordinates may have been slightly off though. The hint makes this no problem at all though. TfTc!
 
03-Jan-20
It was not here!
 
28-Dec-19
Heading south down Northcott Dr towards GZ is definitely the way to go. If you have deciphered the hint, the hiding place is obvious and unmissable.
That being said, the coordinates are out by a fair bit. When I found the cache, my phone said that I was at

S 032º 56.550
E 151º 42.775
---

It looks like I'm the first to find this cache after it has been replaced. It's interesting that both of my pens didn't want to work on the log paper.

TFTC Grub Fred. I enjoyed this one, even though the plants around GZ made my legs itch.

Last one on the way back to the motel. Took a few back roads to get here, and parked I. The shopping centre before strolling up. Coordinates were a fair way out and despite being certain of the hint it took me two attempts and about 10 minutes to find (I must have felt all around it). Otherwise a nice little container and all good.
