Had a good muggle free snoop....sadly nothing to be found. Going off previous logs it's a good chance muggles have been messing around with it.
Nice view over the greens. Bag was soaked and log too wet to sign. Photo taken for confirmation. TFTC.
Found this cache today on our walk to the beach. Greetings from Germany.

My first geocache. Thanks. Shame I didn't take up this hobby at the start of my trip here.
Doing a reverse park on the hill was fun. After that, the cache was pretty straightforward. TFTC

Visiting Coogee for lunch with a diversion to grab a cache. Wet day, no bowls and minimum muggles about. Geo wife was first to spot it and I did the retrieval. Signed the log. Contain lid is a tad loose and found the zip loc damp inside. Geo wife did the honours and dried out the bag and I returned the contents. TFTC under where.
Reasonably easy find. The iPhone app took me to the cache within a few meters of the GZ.

I had two GPSrs with me, one Garmin 62 and one iPhone app, and they didn't agree with each other well at all. I eventually found it at a place that wasn't GZ by either device, so I don't know what was going on. At least I was at the right level all along. Things are damp but not soaking...TFTC!
Fantastic little expedition in finding my 1st Geocache. Sad to find nobody left any treasure, so I left a little something there myself for the next adventure
I had the creeps from all the spiders everywhere, thankfully cache was far from them. Tftc
Loads of muggles aiming to catch the bus at the top of the hill so waited for their bus commute pick up before making the find. Detoured here as I'm working nearby, TFTC
I stopped by 'Bowled over' on the way to Coogee. A family and friends were playing bowls. I was not sure which level to look for the cache, so I went down first to encounter some spiders and lots of rubbish. The solution is usually simpler and in this case it really was.
The container without its lid and the log were soaking wet in their plastic bag, no point trying to save anything. I went back to the car and got what I had at hand, which was a different micro, to change the whole lot. New container and new logbook in place now, after drying the plastic bag. I am not keen on plastic bags as they keep the moisture in...well, I hope it works for a while.

Lovely day walking in Coogee. Unfortunately no pen to register the log book.

#2828 - 15:20; The geohoney and geoteen decided a pre Christmas retail therapy trip to Sydney was in order, so I found myself with a little time to spare while the therapy was underway. Rather than pay exhorbitant parking fees, I headed to the eastern suburbs for a bite of lunch and a little caching. This was the first stop as I headed to Coogee for lunch. Found a very convenient park, but had to be a little circumspect as there were a couple of muggles waiting at the top of the hill from GZ. After a short search, I had the cache in hand and log signed before making it to the beach to attend to the hunger pangs. TFTC under where 
Located quickly but as other logs noted the cache is in a bad condition. I cleaned out the old soggy and rusty log and replaced with a new one, but that probably won't last long without an adequate lid on the cache. Go forth and log!

)It really needs attention from CO. The lid is missing, the logbook is shattered. I signed in one piece of it.

In this location the cache could be nothing other than wet. Signed log as best I could. Have posted to owner for maintenance. Great view though. Thank you for bringing me here.
Current streak: 103
Cache no: 1045
Quick find, bought a muggle and he thought it was quiet funny..

The owner needs to take a look at this cache as the logbook is damp and messy, there are heaps of loose papers in there.
Found it on my second attempt. I'm pretty sure I looked in that spot last time as well, maybe someone took it to sign it then..
There was a snail sitting on it which then came out of her house and started crawling over me. I put her into the leaves and she started having a little snack.
Thank you for the cache.

Sorry, that Needs Archived was supposed to be a need maintenance log!
I'll have to edit that from the computer.

Quick find on the way home.
Original log still damp and close to falling apart but new log ok and the new bag will help

Found after scratching on the wrong level. Put spare dry log sheet in cache and enclosed in sealed plastic ziplock bag and returned to hide, TFTC
The geotoddler and I were in the area and had time for one final cache before needing to pick up the older kids. We parked on the top level and walked down. There were a few muggles playing, but they didn't pay us any attention, and once at GZ we made a quick find. The log is a bit damp, but signable. TFTC
TFTC. As the sun set on a winters afternoon caching listened to the fun of the Scouts Fete and the laughter from the Bowlo.
Great cache - for those feeling the same temptations as myself, note that no climbing is required. Log bag is well ragged - could do with a new one, as the log is damp. Thanks, under_where!
In Sydney for the Canberra day long weekend staying at Coogee beach with the Geoparents, we decided to pick some caches up in the area.
Not such a quick find here as the local muggles decided to watch, so we waited till they went about their duties.

Crazeecat and I were visiting her sister so we had a wander around.
Found this one about 12 metres from coords but that isn't anything to worry about - just mentioning it because someone said coords were spot on. Your gpsr may vary.
Easy find. Plastic bag is a bit tatty.
