hmmm... went with wootowncrew who had found this one a couple of years ago so they knew where to look... but nothing to be found today. so we are curious of the find only 3 days earlier? are we looking and feeling with eyes closed or its gone missing?
Took the whole family out for a walk for our first cache in about 7 years! Nice one close to home. Log book is getting pretty full. Tftc.
Look, the GPS and clue lead us to the back and under the building, but the fence and not wanting to put my hand under and feel around leads me to move on.
Found thanks to the clue, cords had me at the wrong side of the building. May need some log paper soon getting quite full thanks!
Took a while as phone coords took to other side of building but sense of achievement once found
Found with cullum68 on this lovely day took a while to locate but we got it thanks for the cache
I was in Wollongong for some family commitments. After dropping off youngest at a friends house, I had two hours to do a bit of caching. I had fun, but did miss my wingman Finalf29. I found four and the numbers I needed to solve another.
This was my first for the morning. Found quickly as the hint was one I had seen before. Sadly someone had used behind the water tank as a toilet, but thankfully not near GZ. The cicadas were loud, but hey that is the beautiful sound of summer. Thanks

Had a good walk with a mate who figured it our pretty quick. Solid and enjoyable outdoor activity
Out on a day-trip cycle-caching around the Cataract Dam area but finished the day down at the Figtree area. So to keep with the Scouting theme, visited this cache as as last of the day.
Tally for the day, 26 finds, 1 DNF, 1 revisit.

Plans were set in place with fitzy_1965 for a weekend caching mission around the Illawarra region We had a great time nabbing a whole bunch of caches with the only disappointment being the high number of DNF's due to missing containers
It was evening by now so it was on with the torches and off we went to make the easy find at GZ
Thanks for the hide, Hoojar

11849. Found during a weekend caching trip to Wollongong with specimenX. Overall a great weekend with the only downer being the high number of DNFs - especially around the lake.
A plan was hatched for specimenX and myself to visit Wollongong this weekend to attempt the SES (those that we have solved anyway - we have a few left for next time) and LIPT series plus others. We arrived in Wollongong last night inorder to get an early start on the trail today. Next find for the day. As it was getting dark now we started back to the Motel with just a few more planned around this area before getting dinner. Walked in for a quick find at GZ. Log signed, cache returned and we continued on our way to the next one.
Thanks again Hoojar !! A bit more cover at this one !

Signed back in to the gc website. Backlogging a majority of finds over the last year. Started my own account and it's time to sync it out. To avoid confusion I wont change the date logged. Send me an email (via profile link) or a message in the message centre (also via profile link) if you have any concerns.

Another cache from this scout series. I always enjoy these cache, Thanks Hoojar. TFTC
The coords being off a bit made this a bit tougher, meaning i stupidly crawled all the way to the other side of the building and looked for 10 minutes until realizing I didn't need to go through all that trouble Haha! TFTC!
Nice find in the dark haha lots of spiders left a little something with wings
Would have looked sus to the neighbours with my legs sticking out from underneath the building.
Found on my way home from a hockey weekend in Unanderra. Decided to do a few caches before my 6 hr drive home. Had a few muggles to avoid but after a bit of searching the hint hit me and I found the cache
Nice clue and cache location. I had to do some searching high & low as it doesn't show the correct location on the app. A pen is handy.
A nice & easy find once we searched the right area. TFTC

Easy find on our way home from caching at Mt Keira. This park is close to where we are house sitting, should have done it earlier. Now, to the multi close by.....
Thanks Hoojar.
Wombat the Anthus Laptop Geocoin visited, as did Runciple's Grasshopper and his little brother, a tassie trekkers pathtag, a sweet & sour pathtag, a grannysmith pathtag, a geo achievement 500 cahes award, an F14 Tomcat, a sctoch and sode, a monkey a BIG O, a christmas tree, a vespa and a boomerang, oh, and a bundle of keyrings that I have collected since caching in WA in August 2013 (current count is 25)
Thanks Hoojar.

I parked at the nearby amenities block and walked up but realised afterwards that I could have driven right up to the door if I had wanted to. A ladies fitness group had just finished their class and all stood in the carpark chatting forever while I waited for them to clear off so I could look around. After a lap of the building I realised I could have reached GZ undetected by the ladies if I'd only known. TFTC.
It is s shame to think this building may not be used anymore. The grounds are lovely and were used by a ladies fitness group this morning.
Left a star to shine

Juno and I did a check tonight. Access to the cache is still available, however that may change in the future.
Happy hunting.

I am lead to believe that access to this location has changed. Taking offline until I can confirm.

I walked right around the hall, twice. I finally found it the second time. Lots of people playing on the field, but I was out of sight, so had no worries signing the log, just when I was searching the wrong side of the building.
Thanks for the sneaky little cache (I hope you got permission to place it there)!
