ZFPT14 - Waterfall when Wet Allambie Heights, New South Wales, Australia
By zargfinders on 10-Jan-13. Waypoint GC44AB2

Had one final search for this cache but, alas, it was nowhere to be found. As it seems to go missing too frequently, unfortunately, we have decided to archive it.

This week we plan to do a cache maintenance trip to this part of the power trail. We will take one last look for this cache and if it's definitely nowhere to be found, sadly, we will be archiving it.

Sadly, a reliable source checked this one for us and confirmed that it is missing. Reviewer, please be aware that with the current COVID restrictions, we do not plan to be able to perform cache maintenance for a while.

Unfortunately, no smiley face today. This is either a very good hide, or has grown legs and wandered off. It will have to be another day for this one.

I think this one is MIA. Or has suffered massive cache creep.

Bruh

Will have to return to this area as there were a couple of muggles glued to the area enjoying each other's company.

Quick find

What a truly lovely spot.

I scratched around in all the wrong places before it finally clicked in my brain.
A great hint in hindsight, and a top hide as well.

Tftc.

very nice camo

zargfinders I found your cache ZFPT14 - Waterfall when Wet on 13/11/20, 2:25 pm. This is my find 2835 and find # 11 today. After a brief search soon had CIH. Nicely camouflaged. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

2 second find, which is good because we spent so long at others haha
Found with chooksgg, tftc!

The rule I’ve found often works for Zargfinders ...trust nothing, question everything .
Something looked a little it of place here. Gotcha. Tftc

Nice spot

Took plenty of photos at this spot with the nice waterfall in the background.
Clue helped a lot even if we missed it a few times.

Found it eventually. Good camo

Went on a cache maintenance trip around the dam this afternoon. This cache was in good shape with plenty of room left on the log sheet.

Nice waterfall it was very much flowing great spot TFTC

A beautiful place for a cache. TFTC

Nice find. Pretty waterfall

OMG is good the clue wightish was perfect such a small capsule

Very cool Kanye!

TFTC! Cool micro!

Found it. Stick acts like a door to where it is.

Lovely spot..

Remade this camo a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to putting it back in place this afternoon. Cache is ready and waiting to be found.

Just remade the camo. Now we just need to go and put it in place!

So sorry for the delay in getting this one up and running. The path has been rebuilt recently, making the original hiding place a bit too conspicuous. We are trying to determine an alternate spot in the immediate vicinity, at which point we'll remake the camo and replace the cache.

Doing some cache maintenance this morning and decided to check on this one. Sadly it's gone missing....

"Cheers, lucky we didnt fall of the waterfall. Tftc"
That's what happens when a nongeocacher attempts to log the cache.

Keep looking for this. Extra Clue as snakes hole.

Today was the day to complete the ZFPT.

So we did it! We finished it in 6 hours.

Had to call CO for assistance. Found 20/21
As we missed a clue we did the guess and check
strategy until we found the final!

TFATC Zargfinders Appreciate Your Efforts.

Liked this one, thanks

Found it after some time but not where it should have been so replaced back to description! TFTC

Found this one after a short search. Nice camo but very out of place. Great place to hide a cache with the waterfall right nearby. TFTC

some others and I found this cache whilst out and about. I am now catching up from some geocache logging after the ozgeomuster and the rest of the weeks full of geocaching. TFTC co's. i apologize for all of the generic logs

Found with Beary_Unicorns, Unicorn Princess and Mighty Minions, TFTC

After a week of heavy rain the waterfall was in full force. Geohubster got himself into position to search for this, and whilst he initially over looked the camo eventually the clue sunk in. TFTC.

Log regarding the series: Twice a year I am able to convince the fam to come caching for the day - mothers day and my birthday! So with my birthday taken up by kids activities we headed out for a family day out today. We found 20 out of 20 caches in this series! Including the five that had a DNF before us. Geo 4 yr old managed the whole track without complaint, although it took us 5 3/4 hrs to do the whole loop with only a quick morning tea and lunch break. The track was very wet after a week of heavy rain so it slowed us down significantly as we scrambled around the edges trying to keep our feet dry (thankfully the 4 yr old was equipped with water proof boots so at least he wasn't slowed down even further...). Parking cost us $35 for the day - which I wasn't expecting - yikes! We could have parked outside the park but the alternate thought of making the kids walk even further meant it was money well spent. What a great series. We had a lot of fun, pity the weather wasn't warmer, we would have a lot of fun swimming here too. Thanks so much for placing and maintaining this PT.

Nice hide, 'hidden in plain sight' = hidden out of sight though for normal lol...

What a great series on a perfect Sydney Day. Grabbing this series with @geoket and not bad_good cach
Once in the right area this was a quick find. TFTC!

A nice spot for a bite to eat ️ TFTC! ️ with @cookiesandpie @notbad_goodcach

Found!

This one took longer than it should have. I had to sit and wait while some muggles sat and talked. But there haven’t been too many muggles today so I should be grateful. Even after they left I was looking in the wrong places! I’m read the description again, and ‘oh!’ tftc zargfinders

Found with RoddyC on our return trip to the dam.

TFTC

With hatzofff for a few days caching around Sydney. We stopped by to collect your cache.

Nice waterfall. A dragon came to look.

Log signed and replaced on 28 March 2019 at 2:23 pm. TFTC, zargfinders

Cool!

Saw something that looked obvious and found the cache TFTC

Went for a walk around the dam with FlappyBirds today in an attempt to find 20 ish but we fell short of that to 18 attempts

Almost gonna give but saw something really outta place

Found with FlappyBirds TFTC #50 (yay) (15 of 18 today)

Log seach, but finally I found it - approaching from the other side. Thanks for the cache! [)]

After a long day at the zoo we decided to go for some caching.
We (jsson, Sivun and myself) logged as IJS.
A sunny day perfect for a longer walk. We started off rather late but managed to walk the series within around 4 hours. We had some DNF and one cache we did not have in our gps. A very nice series with some challenging caches too.
Thanks for placing a cache for me to enjoy and find.

A nice hike around the lake today with Ingabo and Sivun.
Nice caches and a few we have to search for a while and 2 we didn´t found at all.
We wrote IJS stand for the first letter i our alias ( Jsson, Ingabo, Sivun)
Greetings from Sweden
TFTC!

Hard but fun

But lots of muggles didn’t help.

Will have to come back to this one.. had a big snake friend hanging out on the rocks

Spotted in the first place looked. Was also lucky with muggle free timing so was able to complete the duties without delay. TFTC!

There seems to be no limit to the number of many ways the zargfinders can conceal a cache! Excellent hide!

Description and the hint pointed us to the right place to search. We had the cache in no time. Impressed with the well constructed camo again! TFTC!

Couldn't find it ...

Surprised to see there was a waterfall at all in this dry spell... Easy find, we were signing the log when a muggle turned up and stopped right behind us to take photos, so we had to wait until he moved on to replace the cache. Luckily it is a lovely spot to stop for a while. TFTC!

Walking past with a group and stopped here for lunch. Can confirm cache is still in situ.

Found this cache with aries44 on a lovely day well away from home. Haven't been over this way for many years.
Passed lots of very friendly people on our way around the dam.

Cool waterfall.

Nice waterfall found it

Another cool hide tftc

Found it

Cool camo

Noce

Awesome hide - we're having a ball of fun, cheers!

Decided after 11 weeks of full time uni work that I deserved a full day of caching, needs a day to get back to nature and get out of the books and thought what better way then to go away the manly dam. It was an amazing day, perfect weather.

15th of 22 find for the day

TFTC amazing area

We went on a cache maintenance tour of the dam this morning to replace full logs and check on the condition of the caches.

Waterfall when Wet was our fourteenth stop. Replaced the log and moved on to the next.

Cache is ready and waiting to be found.

Located at 1:42am. Another neat little hide. Much Zargfinders. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

Nice !!

Found! Unlucky for us the waterfall wasn't in action nonetheless still a great spot. Stopped to play with some waterdragons too. Tftc

No waterfall today, but we stopped to pat all the water dragons, so many around today nice sneaky hide TFTC

The second time found. Thank you for the cache.

TFTC a quick find along our journey. Nice

OCW Rodney1210. Our first find of the day. Rodney’s phone was on point. Mine was hopeless. He made the find here. Love this type of camo. TFTC!

OCW Coastblue, finally coming to finish off the Manly Dam Powertrail. Once we got to the area after hiking in from Allambie, this was quickly found. Cache# 654 TFTC

We are visiting from Queensland and staying at the Lane Cove Caravan Park. Today we headed out with wazza9 and Nana Nel to this beautiful area to do the caches in the series around the dam and also a few others that were within cooee. The price of the parking was exorbitant we thought at $28 for the day however pay it we did. We enjoyed finding this cache and caching in this locality. The unique hides kept us on our toes and we spent a reasonable amount of time searching at each gz. Thanks to zargfinders for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

We planned to enjoy the day with Liz & Bruce geocaching, Manly Dam was the chosen area. This one did take a while to locate, Liz found. Signed the log and replaced thanks to zargfinders for the series.

TFTC,
We had planned on catching up with Liz & Bruce while they were in Sydney.
They attended an Event and it was indicated by another cacher that there were some great Camo's in the Manly Dam series. I can remember talking to the CO several years ago about how it would be a good series to do. It just happened that until today life has been in the way.
But what a great way to catch up with friends who are keen to join the experience and it was just that, a great day with friends.
We parked close to #20 thinking that we would probably walk past #21 if we walked in a clockwise direction and avoid any backtracking.
#7 find today. I had placed my hand on it and failed. It was Liz that came up with this one. Visited trackables.

-> Start generic comment <-
I did a few caches at Manly Dam recently and they were great. But when I had a closer look I realised the dam is literally surrounded by them! Decided it would be a perfect place to see what a full day of caching out in the bush would be like. So waited until my Xmas holidays, lined everything up and here we are...
Let me tell you, it was fantastic! I was out there for maybe 8 or 9 hours and had the most fun I've had on a day out for ages. Manly Dam is a super location and the caches were great!!
Mega thanks to zargfinders for the awesome "Zargfinders Power Trail", but also thanks to vk2df, SWAG Tim and The Vikings for their great caches too.
-> End generic comment <-

Incredible! I went straight for this camo as soon as I arrived but it is so well done that I looked and moved on without even realising. After scouring high and low I decided it must be involved so went back and had another look. Almost moved on a second time when I finally noticed the cache. This is really really well done!
TFTC!!

I have been planning this caching day for a while. First day of the Christmas holiday gave an opportunity for a day-trip. And what a top adventurous caching day! I regard this entire series by Zargfinders with awe - a lot of planning/work went into this series. It was augmented by a day that started over 30 degrees, then showered, hailed, electrical storm, gusty wind, the works. I experienced the entire year of caching diversity in the one day - today.

Didn't get wet. The waterfall wasn't operating either. In fact, the temperature has just gone over 35 degrees. Luckily, I have my camelbak. It's starting to get 'a little warm'.

I'm sure we had looked for this one in 2015.. I'm sure maintenance has been done since and we didn't find it then. GeodudeAu found this and signed for me!
1 more to log to complete the series !

Found cache in camo quite different to most of the others. Loved the gently flowing waterfall . I'd love to see it after significant rainfall. OCW Brewmaker, GeodudeAu, AlphaDeltaIndigo, MaxAdventurer, Baxter360 & (me) EverestHigh. Completed ZFPT + 3 extra Trads. Enjoyed our afternoon of bushwalking/caching around Manly Dam.
