This one has dissapeared a few times so I am happy to give this spot up to TheCashCows who seem to have something in mind for it. Still a lovely spot and worth visiting.
Sadly it looks like this has been muggled again.
I'll have to come up with a new location or different hide mechanism for this.
Thanks for letting me know it was missing.

I checked on this a few weeks ago and it was fine. It took me a little while to find it as it had been moved a little. I'll run over for a look tomorrow morning hopefully.
Went to this gorgeous spot for the second time with an idea of what the clue was about and a handy second set of eyes. Trying not to look too suspicious... We were happily surprised when our "muggles" called out with a clue. After a quick chat with our new caching buddies they checked the location where they had found it before and no cache. Continued to look around the obvious location and no luck. Might be an idea for the CO to check. Thanks again to our caching buddies... U live in such a gorgeous spot
Paddled past this headland many a time but today it was far too windy for the yak so enjoyed the walk down instead. Took a little while to locate the cache and, as is often the case, it showed up in the first place I looked to start with. Just didn't look hard enough!

After logging a DNF back in August, it was great to see this cache back. Finally found today while I was in the area. TFTC nicksmyname
OK we had to get a paf to help us on this one, we found it about 8m SW of where our GPSrs wanted us, it an obvious spot in the end. The hint made no sense to us...
We should have trusted cache sense instead of our GPS. I would love an explanation of the hint.

A nice spot down here- I believe we walked past this spot many years ago for a rogaine that was held out of Como school. Would also be a nice paddle here but today I drove as far as I could and went from there. I believe I got the clue sorted and even with that it took a few sweeps before I spotted the cache. Thanks!
Geotoddler and I made this find. Being low tide we then enjoyed a play on the rocks and sand and chasing crabs while the weather alternated between rain and sunshine... Now to carry a mud covered child back up that hill in completely inappropriate footwear TFTC!
Awesome spot where made the find 4m from GZ. Went back to search it a second time before I spied the hide. Thanks nicksmyname
Find #1475 - 1 for today. Found on 7/10/2013 10:31 am
Another look after the cache was replaced and this time found in quick time, nice little reserve. Thanks. TNSLLN

After talking to a local fisherman about the best time to catch fish in the area it was a quick grab and sign and replace without being seen. TFTC Nicksmyname.
I stopped by here for a fairly quick find while out kayaking on the Georges River. Still scratching my head over the hint though! TFTC.
I took the Geodog over this morning and replaced the missing cache. She certainly enjoyed the walk.
Please be sure to replace the Camo after you find this one, folks.
Thanks, Nicksmyname

Three reports of this one being missing. Oh dear.
I'll have to make a trip over to check on this one.
Thanks odlids for confirming this was missing too.

Visited this one this afternoon with Jabiru62, unfortunately a party was being set up at GZ, we managed to have a quick look but it seems as though the cache is gone. It certainly isn't in the same place I found it several months ago.
Sad to say but it may be time for the CO to do a cache check.

Didn't find it on 25/08/13 11:02 AM
Spent half an hour searching but came up empty.

No, no find today. Looked for around 20 minutes (found the soap, toy, and signed business card), but no cache.
Couldn't find any bullet holes but did find the cache and a bar of soap...........

Returned for another look and this time went straight to the right spot. Surprising how a second look can change the perspective.
Second visit to this one. Teamed up with Beer_Baron and enlisted the aid of his keen eyes !! And yes we found it.
Its fairly obvious once you find it )) Nice location, thanks nicksmyname for bringing us here.

Gave this one a good amount of time but failed to come up with the goods. 'Obvious' place certainly alluded me. Needed Ms Gumby's girlie look. Will return another time for another try. As is often the case, the journey was the best part of the experience.
Ha Ha...like CATONY, I kept going back to the obvious spot as the GPSr had me a little further away so hunted around some more.
Finally made the find.
What a great little rest area and it is a shame junk is left around...It wasn't so bad today and grabbed a plastic container and bag to clean up...a shame about broken glass here though.
A great spot on a great day

Went straight to where I could see the water & enjoyed the views, now to find the cache, gpsr had me searching the grass so time for a bit of "geosense" & went over to the "obvious" spot, must admit to checking the "obvious" spot a couple of times before the cache was found, clever hide in a peaceful, out of the way spot.

Hey nicksmyname and katsumar, thanks again for a cache and a recommendation for one of my own caches! This spot down here was actually one that mandalf and I had scouted out for a cache of our own but mandalf decided not to because of the ugly trees blocking the view and the rubbish. Today we walked a bit further and saw that a much better view is to be found if you walk out to the rocks. Maybe it was high tide when we went last time. I see you've already gotten a favourite point here too so maybe it was out folly that we didn't choose this location.
This was a fairly quick find after a long day of War of the Ring at treeweird's. Very cunning indeed with such a small container and unobvious camo but a cacher should be able to locate it with no trouble as mandalf did today. Thanks again!

Hello. This was a nice find. As smirkwood said I previously went to check this place out but couldn't find a good spot to hide a cache. But I see you have.
It's nice to see a cache in Oyster Bay TFTC!

A nice Sunday morning cache with the OBAYMAN and his much much better half - She who seeks out caches like a woman posessed. At least I got to put my name on the log and hide it away again for the next one. TFTC
TFTC, thanks to the better half who actually made the find. A great little spot on the Georges River.
I thought I had already logged this find. We drove to the start of the short walk and were soon near a moveable GZ, but there was really only one place to look. MrsFish jumped as a lizard poked its head out to see what was happening, then I spied an out of place colour which proved to be the cache. Thanks for a good hide in a really nice place I did not know about before.
TFTC,
I will have to find out what the hint was all about.
After failing to locate GC44867, we made our way to this cache for a quick find with good coordinates.
This is the cache for day 342 on my personal challenge to try and get 366 continuous days including the 29th February (something you can only achieve every 4th year).
Visited a group of trackables learning about the area.

#542 Nice colour, not the easiest find with moving co-ords. Just went to the obvious. Didn't have the clue so just GPS sniffed. I liked this great little place (worthy of a favourite point) , but the road out is a bit too steep initially to cycle back out.
We (PrincessAnni & I) saw this one come up, I finished my coffee & off we went. Missed FTF by about 10 mins- mental note to self: forget the coffee.
Drove to what looked like the end of the street, not sure whether to drive further down the loop at the end. It looked like a large track, rather than a road & just as we were getting out of geomobile, a couple of cars drove past & down, so we followed the rest of the way down.
A very easy find, but, a little tricky to replace. It kept slipping through. Got it to stay in place eventually. SL TFTC

Woohoo. FTF at 12.59 pm. Nice little spot. Our GZ was nearer the waters edge but only so many places it could be given the hint. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC.
