Sent Geohubby in for this one. Lucky its the last one for the day log is soaked and difficult to sign
Nicely hidden. However, the container sits in a small hollow which may fill with rainwater. Contents were quite wet. Log just writable. Took the TB. TFTC Wilbert67 and the drive through this area.
Found in an area I'm visiting for field work. The log was too wet to write on. TFTC
Was there today as well, all good, just tricky as there are road works closeby and needed to wait till nobody was looking.

Searched witb Commando04 in a couple of obvioys places but did not come away with a smiley.
Too over grown and wet to get into where it says, have to try it when it hasnt been raining
Took us a few minutes but geo dad found it. No pen but we are attaching a pic. TFTC
Found at 10:13 AM GAFF1 in the company of &others.
Heck! Is that what you call a T1.5 A lot harder now with the vegetation tangled all around.
Thanks Wilbert67.

#8177 - 15:45; Staying in Gerringong with the geohoney for a couple of nights on what was turning out to be quite a wet weekend away. Decided that the weather was too erratic to try for the coastal walk we had originally planned to do, so headed over to Kiama for a look around. Took a round about way back to Gerringong, stopping off to grab this cache along the way. Managed to stay dry despite the recent showers as I retrieved the cache. TFTC Wilbert67
Found with craftydusty and my geopooch Mitzi on a trip from Sydney to Fishermans Paradise-lovely turn off to break up the journey!
Killing time with some caches before I got dropped off at soccer camp - with AWTYOW! TFTC
Poor Gabstar got stuck in the spikes... I freed her though so she'll survive. TFTC
Thank you for the cache. Log signed and cache replaced. *OCW Throsbyonchurch*.
Found -- 4:00:00 PM -- SL Thanks for the hunt and Thanks for bringing us here to this location Wilbert67.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in ok shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
**Trackables:** None seen in cache

Another gorgeous location. Found the cache no problems. The log was damp and very dirty. With the way the wind was blowing throught here I was able to dry out the log and scratch in my name. I placed it in a little bag I had onboard. Also cleaned out the yucks inside and added some fresh new nick nacks.
**The Day**
I've had the best day (again). Went to a Zimbabwe event this morning at church to enjoy some awesome singing and dancing and then headed off to pick up a new cache before heading down Jamberoo Pass to finish collecting the Kiama Suburbs series that I had been forced to abandon a little back. The weather was perfect and we really enjoyed our explorations. Went off to Bombo Beach and enjoyed some time there also doing an Earth Cache and looking at the rock table while the kids do what kids do.

Good hiding spot but unfortunately couldn't sign as log was wet. Had nothing to replace it
Not dressed at all appropriate for this cache, lol. I knew exactly where to look & in the retrieving got my dressed hooked, to avoid ripping said dress I had to break the branch...opps. I did at least have my gloves in my kit making the reaching into dark holes somewhat less daunting.
Found it! Left this one to the man to avoid all the prickles Beware the muggle farmers.
On my way back to Sydney, need a shortcut as the traffic is really bad going into Gerroa, the shortcut took my this way, TFTC
Time to hit the 50km radius once again,
I have finally gotten around to going on the loop trip:
Home > Kangaroo Valley > Berry (via Kangaroo Valley Road) > Kiama > Jamberoo (via Saddleback) > Home.
All caches were well maintained, and I added paper to some along the way.
---End Copy/Paste Section---
Ooops, Nearly forgot to log this one.
If my memory serves me well, this one was nearly a 'Dooley' Street!
Singing "We are the Hooley Dooleys" on the way back to the car

We had our doubts with the last find in March and a couple DNFs since then but we tried our luck anyway and were rewarded with a quick find. Bunch-o-muggles across the road so we parked the car between them and the cache to avoid detection. The cache is right where the coordinates place it and the container is clean and dry.

Spot on co-ordinates gave us a quick find today.
The container is still in place and is clean and dry.
Another trip down memory lane today, fond memories, thanks again Wilbert.
A beautiful area that I was pleased to come back too. I have not been by here since my early years, our two boy cousins lived on a farm at Toolijooa, my Nana used to take my sister and I by train there, with my uncle picking us up at the station. The train back then, decades ago, would make a stop only if you asked the guard. Nothing today remains of Toolijooa Station.

Pretty sure I found the right hole but nothing in it. Not a nice spot at the moment overthrow with nasty prickly vine.
Quick park and grab detour on the way to an event in Berry. Noticed at least one local cachers name on the same date who must also be heading my way. Nice alternate road from the highway so may travel this scenic way more often.
Found this cache at 2:25pm while having a great day caching and picking up some more of this series and attending the event for J+J in Berry Left TB Diabetes
Thanks wilbert67 for another hide down a lovely country lane

Another hidden gem. Lovely countryside here. This is a much nicer way to drive to Berry than the highway, even with a bit of dirt road thrown in for authenticity. TFTC.
Out for Day of Caching with The Klack.
9th for the day 15:54
Quick find avoiding school buses.

Enjoyed drive the car along to Kiama suburbs. Thanks for showed around the Kiama. Thanks Wilbert67.
This one was deep, a little worried about putting my hand that far down, but went for it.. Thanks
#191.... out for the morning caching with the Geo-Neice and went for this pretty drive. Took a bit of searching but we found it in the end.....and a few mozzie bites to remember the find by. TFTC and for taking us down this pretty road
This one has been on my list for a while, and last time I made the effort to come to GZ, a heap of young people in their cars were just hanging around on the corner so I had to keep on going. This time nobody around except for me and Gill&Tony. It took a little while to spot this one, but torch mode on the phone came in handy. Nice area around here - TFTC!

For Earthcache day, geoson NationalSteel and I decided to join forces to get an earthcache or two. Unfortunately there are very few mutually unfound ones hearby and we finally decided to meet in Gerringong to tackle two of the local ones. Then, Earthcache duties done, we tackled some traditionals
This was a quick and easy find, once NationalSteel switched on the torch feature on his phone..
The cache was in good condition. We took nothing, left nothing and replaced the cache as found.
Thanks Wilbert67 for the cache.

The last one of the day whilst heading home after a weekend caching in the Southern Highlands. Great hidey hole, the camo is so realistic Took a TB to move on.

Woke up this morning and the South Coast of NSW was beckoning, Leaving home around 3:30am due to arrive at my first cache about 5:30am. But lost almost 4 hours due to a malfunction in the trusty geo truck. Quick find
Thanks for the great cache Wilbert67(8D)

We always like Toolijooa Road and often drive down it as a change from the highway. So it was nice to be able to stop today and find this cache, and drop of the unkown soldier travel bug.

This was my first visit to Toolijooa, but there is not much to see except beautiful farming country. The cache was grabbed from the likely place then we headed off to other suburbs. Thanks to Wilbert67 for the tour and this hide.
Nice little cache along the road where I learnt to drive back in the day. Wasn't tar in those days. TFTC & memories. JenneG & Budgy left a penny.
TFTC and thank you for the great location. Caches like this make it a worthwhile activity.
