Great spot , perfect day walk , thanks for the cache

Seeing as it hadnt been found for over a year and a half, and with a single DNF I decided that I would find this cache. I started my way down the path to the beach, and followed the rocks around to GZ. After 20 minutes and expanding my search radius a bit, I had the cache in hand. Tftc

No luck:/

Nice easy find and a beautiful spot. TFTC

Pihc htiw ti tog. Ctft

Easy find once I knew the Gz was out ~10m . Found on a day after snorkelling at bass Point. TFTC

Dropped off TB.

What a long and hard search so many lizards to contend with

Thanks guys! Kids enjoyed the hunt!

After dropping my wife off with her friends for a catch up, time to head out and pick up a couple of local hides. Such a beautiful if not a little windy day, and I enjoyed doing lots of walking in mostly deserted locations.
I parked in the parking zone and made my way out to the viewing deck to finish off an AL that I’d started pre Covid, and took a look at what was around. Saw that there was this one a nice walk away, so grabbed my pack and set off. Didn’t take long to hit the GZ, but the hint isn’t really give much away so a systematic search was needed. So as I’ve done before, I’ve stepped back and though, well, where would I put it? That looks likely, and so it was, but 10m from where my device would have me, nothing unusual about that. Performed the relevant duties and took the long trek back along the waters edge.

Toured the area today for the 1st time. Very cool spot. A few potholes nearly swallowed the little Corolla whole, but we got through and knocked over an AL plus 3 caches. TFTC

Took a bit of looking but found it eventually. 10m out by my phone. TFTC

Found

Found it thanks

One of the quickest finds for the day. Beautiful spot. Tftc tnln

Took awhile but we got there found 22-4-21

Found a while ago and forgot to log

A good little find on a superb day!! Makingitcount cruzebuddy and cruiseforever

Thanks for the great cache had a swim what a great out of the way spot

Great spot TFTC

Lovely rock pools to explore

After a little bit of searching, we soon at the cache in hand. We swapped some swag and dropped off a coin. A great little beach to skim some rocks too!

Another cool little spot on the south coast, we saw a couple of divers just out to sea and a couple of fisherman passing through. The cache took a little bit of scrambling before making the find. Thank you!

Out claiming a few smiles to complete current souvenir and get closer to next milestone of 800.
After spending some time exploring the rock I almost forgot why we had come out this way.
Found with Yarfaa

Quick find out with campbell.t123

A bit of a longer search as my GPS had me a bit further off than normal and needed to expand the search radius. TFTC.

super fun

Found it was a good little adventure with the kids, thank you.

TFTC.

Found on our day trip to moloneys Bay. Beautiful spot tftc

What a place! I'd never heard of this place and for a public holiday couldn't believe it was so quiet. Thanks for bringing us here! TFTC

Easy peasy

TFTC

After a lenghty search i found it very well hidden. TFTC took skull key chain and left 'victoria' and a stamp. Thank you for bringing me here to this amazing spot xx

After many years of neglect we have finally replaced the container

Found in bits and pieces...
Log is saturated....needs some loving

No luck today. Not sure if a bit of maintenance is required.

Lovely afternoon out and about needs new container old log wet

TFTC

A bit broken, but great find... also a little wet

Coordinates where a bit off and container was cracked and everything was wet but still was a great find!

Cache is in some disrepair. A great location. TFTC

Container is cracked and has water. Log is ok as it is still in its zip lock bag

More rocks is it this one or this no it's this one yahoo

Just had time before the sun went down. Container broken.

A nice short walk of a few hundred metres. The container is falling apart. Wish we knew this beforehand, as we would have brought a replacement container. A 500ml container would be big enough. TFTC

Really damaged cache, great find.

Beautiful day

I learnt to SCUBA dive here, about 20 years ago (not that I would like to admit that). Having been in the area visiting my parents, I thought it a good idea to spend the day at Bass Point enjoying the water and the warmer Autumn day. Another not so quick find, however this one was a lot quicker than the last. The log was slightly damp, so I left some extra paper with my log. TFTC

What a great day aries44 & myself had visiting this beautiful part of the South Coast, Some great views & walks to retrieve some caches. TFTC GroundparrotTrackers. Visited 2 T/Bs

After attending the ICC #12 Event at Barrack Point we decided to look for some caches at Bass Point.
A nice trek around to GZ and with a cool sea breeze calming our fevered brows we went to work searching. Took us a little while and a slight hint from a previous visitors log caused us to look a bit further. That resulted in me spotting the hide. We signed the log. The container is starting to suffer the ravages of UV exposure. ie. containg is starting to crack.
Visited some TB's. TFTC GroundparrotTrackers.

found with Contactpete after following the well established Geotrail (fishing) across the grass . great spot for a cache, thanks GroundparrotTrackers for placing & maintaining this cache.

Found it

Found it =)

Found it

Found while exploring in the area. Thanks for the fun

TFTC beautiful place, great hide...the geokids loved climbing all the rocks. Left a shoe keyring but didn't take anything.

Seems like I took the complicated way down because it was a lot easier to get back up. The walk was a lot longer than it looked but it was a good one. TFTC

Early morning drive to Nowra for a day of caching to Kiama then returning home via mossvale.

Overcast and periods of rain didn't slow this geocacher down!

Cache in great shape. TFTC TNLN.

Out with BTM today and the promise of a swim at the beach managed to up her spirits somewhat. We pulled up at the car park and made our way down to the deserted beach. BTM was immediately in the water but as it was too cold, she then became taken with all the rocks on the beach. I made my way overland to the cache site, found what I was looking for and headed back via the rocks to pick up BTM and move onto the next cache. TFTC

A nice walk this afternoon in good company after the nearby event. A beautiful day today & a great spot. TFTC!
Cheers,

Another awesome location by the sea. Payback, karma comes back quickly when you're with The Hancock Clan. I was sent on a wild goose chase while Mr Hancock ,silently chuckled to himself. What a large cache, nice to see one this size.

A pleasant walk to GZ made the find. Log only, thank you.

Found it. Thanks for the cache!!!

Found with GottheGoodes. Started from the lookout and left the Kids and Wife's behind as it was pretty treacherous. Realised that was actually not the best way to go. Went back and got the family. Great walk and location. TFTC.

Nice walk on a beautiful summer morn. The ocean was very friendly here today. Not so on the other side with a solid northeaster blowing.
GZ was about 10 m off. Not quite what I expected.
Nice large container.

Ironbark.

Took a few minutes to find this cache but eventually found it. Nice hide with nice views. TFTC

found with shrimp 92 and nissan 65. Nice day for caching. Thankyou for the cache

Found with cullum 68 and shrimp 92. Beautiful day for caching. Thanks for the cache

Took me ages.
Eventually went a bit further from the gz and what do ya know. Found it
Slightly more vegetated then I expected

Great find but took awhile as GPS isn't very accurate but @rainbowspirit tip helped! Beware of snakes!

Found it!

Nice hide

Took me a while but eventually found it

I wandered about aimlessly for a while at my indicated GZ, 'til I eventually found the cache about 8m NW of there.

That is some HUGE rock quarry nearby!

On my approach I went straight down from the lookout.....maybe I should of checked my map first.
Had a great walk around the bay,a few more people snorkeling here and wasnt long before I found GZ and the cache.I was up for the adventure so went back up the way I came down.
Thanks for bringing me out here.

Tricky one with Gav-scr byo pen

Nice and slippery, found with Joe91Y

Geohubby took me to Bass Point for a round of birthday caching - this was number 4 . We enjoyed the little beach lots of children playing in the water and then we moved to the headland and watched the fisherfolk before finding the cache. Thank you for bringing us to this lovely spot Groundparrot Trackers.

This cache brings an amazing view with huge waves! Really liked it, greetings from Germany! TFTC

Great little walk to this Cache. I've been to Bass Point since I was a very young child, however never to this bay.. I'll be coming back here with my snorkeling gear soon.. TFTC

No videos today, but you can follow my geocaching adventures on YouTube "The Aussie Geocacher, Seemyshells"
& Periscope...

#527.... another hike but really enjoyed the view!! TFTC

Replaced container

It was a bit of a smelly beach the day I found the cache. A lot of sea life has washed upon the shore right at the back entrance. A family were spending a bit of time digging around the shells just upwind of the bay. Luckily they were out of sight of gz so i could make an easy find.
The container is staying to look quite uv damaged. A more robust container is suggested.
Thanks for the cache.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

6-10 caching, 10-12 frisbee, 12-6 caching, 6-8 frisbee.

Been a good day to collect a small handful of caches in the 50km radius.


Smelt a little fishy over here, but that's expected!
Short walk to GZ and we had cache in hand

Surprised everything was waterproof considering the container

TFTC

Spent the day between geocaching and ultimate frisbee.

Second half of the day, we made some finds around Shellharbour area.

More great views!
Thanks

What a walk, kids loved the rock walk and the beach, TFTC!

Search around!
Thanks

Found it

Found with walkersx4 picked up the trackable, have found many of these today. The log bag needs to be replaced as its torn.

Found it. May need a bit of work.

Nice walk to another good location

Needs a little love when you get the chance. Tftc.

Another magic spot. Gibbers on the beach and lovely bay. TFTC
