Travelling back the back roads to our accommodation after a fun filled day at Jamberoo action park. A quick find before turning around near the dam we didn't know about.
Found. Found some weird surprises inside. 3 fish sauces for sushi and some wasabi sauce
Went there today after contact with the last "finder". Cache needed replacement and because of the newer container I moved it to a more easy and safe spot.
Happy Caching Wilbert67

23,801. Found with DARKSIDEDAN and Loci612 during a caching run down to the coast today.
A slightly delayed trip down the coast today where were were rewarded with great weather, lots of caches to find, and in my case some long awaited gaps filled in cache series - some dating back a long time ! Due to domestics it was a later than normal pickup, but it wasn't before long when we started finding caches. This was the next cache on the list today. Quick find once we arrived at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off to the next cache.
Thanks Wilbert67 !!

A tight corner for a cache, so had to park a distance away and walk back to it. After a short search it was located without much trouble how we expected it to be hidden!
Grabbed this one whilst on our way past for another target nearby
Thanks Wilbert

Huge creepy crawly spider and a wasps nest almost derailed our hunt but soon enough cache was in hand!
Down from Sydney to visit Mr Gaztek’s mother and take her for a drive from her aged care residence for the first time since March. Yay! What a great place to come to. Although she doesn’t quite get the geocaching thing, she’s always happy when we find one of ‘our boxes’. Enjoyed the drive out here - nice fat cows, lots of green grass, a lovely home at Christmas River and inexplicably-placed cottonwood palms in the paddocks. After that we drove out to Kiama for an in-the-car coffee and a look at the beach and the non-blowing hole before dropping Gwen back home. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
After introducing the muggle brother to caching and converting him we decided we’d hit a few spots today. After searching up and down for the obvious we then dug a little deeper and found what we believe to be the cache however no log. Paper added into container

Found this as we were heading home from Kiama. Lovely driving along this stoned fenced hilly area.
Thanks Wilbert67 for bringing us this way.

Doing a couple of hours of caching whilst holidaying at Kiama and this was our third find.
Trouble was, all I found was a baggy containing the log, no container. Was on the ground. So l put the log in a 6inch cylindrical plastic container with a screwtop that was the only geocaching container that I had with me. I put the cache in what I think was the correct spot and it fitted in comfortably, and so the cache is ready to live on.

#7902 - 10:40; After attending a function in Ulladulla, the geohoney and I had a very nice night in Kiama, but now it was time to head for home. After a pleasant day yesterday, today was horrible, wet and windy. Luckily, at times, the weather eased up enough for me to collect a few caches along the way. We found ourselves out on this back road while trying to find our way to Gerringong, where we had decided to have breakfast. The road didn't go quite where I originally thought it might, but brought me to this cache instead. Good coords made for a quick find and sign as we headed back the way we had come. TFTC Wilbert67
I came back down today to find the new kayak caches, but found myself on the wrong side of the tide. So while waiting for the tide to turn, I decided to find done land caches first.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Found with sesblocker.
Very quick find. The Jerrara dam was a constant Thorn in the side of NSW SES. The dam didn't require much rain to fall before going into the first alarm stage of "white alert".

Went out to the Dam for lunch and thought we would pick this one up while we were there. The electronics were not really on our side. The car gps told us we had arrived at GZ but also had 450 meters to go, the phones were not co-operating and the batteries on the hand held gps were failing. All was well in the end and the co-ords were spot on.
Cache was in great shape.
Should have hung around to meet Deanotaz but the road although not busy is narrow and the bend behind us limited our veiw of on coming traffic.
Dam Good Veiw of the Dam

Nice easy one after almost getting locked in by one nearby. Bit of a precarious bend, luckily it's a quiet road. Actually this one should probably now be called "dam good view" more than other one! Saw Another user had also found today (platyfly?) TFTC.
We have travelled down from Sydney to Kiama for the April school holidays, camping for a week at Kendells on the Beach Holiday Park in our Jayco Swan Outback camper trailer. Today we headed up to Saddleback Mountain for a solved multi-cache and a couple of Traditionals, then it was on to the Minnamurra Rainforest for an EarthCache and a Traditional. And the return journey had us stopping at Jerrara Dam for a couple of Traditionals. This was the 6th of 8 finds for the day, and the 31st find for the holiday.
After visiting the Minnamurra Rainforest, and finding both the Traditional and the Earthcache that's located there, we were now on our way back to camp. Diverted slightly off our route to visit the Jerrara Dam and have a look for the two caches located there.
This was the first of the two. A nice quick roadside "park & grab". TNLNSL and then replaced as found, and we were on our way again. It's a good view of the dam from GZ, but it looks like it needs some good rainfall to fill it up. TFTC Wilbert67.

Nice quick find in the pitch black! Not the best time to attempt this, and no look at the view, but tftc!
We came out here a long while ago for the other cache, which now seems to have a locked gate blocking it. Parking across from GZ, I walked over and admired the view which showed there is still a lot of water in the old dam. While there I looked down and saw the cache, mainly uncovered. Thanks Wilbert67 for this hide, it has a great view and the country drive out was good as well.
Nice little cache. Thankyou for bringing us here. Found with nissan 65 and shrimp 92.Thankyou for the cache log replaced
out in the open - looks to have been trashed - maybe as council mowed the verge! Put container back found some weather ruined notes
Lotso Bear wanted to say hey to one of the locals but got no reply because he was a little hoarse, thanks for the great spots around the Kiama area, generally just zoom through on the highway.
There were a couple of new moveables a few metres away so killed three caches with one visit. Thanks.
I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” Throsbyonchurch and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.
