Wollongong Suburbs - Thirroul Thirroul, New South Wales, Australia
By Hoojar, Chip & Ding on 14-Feb-13. Waypoint GC45ZRN

Time to put this one to bed.

I gave this a solid 10 minute but then ran out of time as had to be at another event.
Given the previous DNFs, I figured this cache has either been muggled, or is VERY well hidden.
Judging from the terrain, I am suspecting it could very well be the latter. And if it is what I think it is, I'll need a lot more time on the next visit ... please stay tuned.

I had big plans for such a glorious day as today, a trip down to the gong to slog it out on the pavement for a nice basket of cache finds, but sadly my bubble was popped in a big way. No joy this morning at all. Will be back.

Our only DNF of the day

Unfortunately couldn't find it and was on the co-ords.

No luck today.

Left Thirroul seaside festival & stopped for a Nice quick find, dropped off murtle the turtle travel bug. TFTC, another to mark off my Wollongong suburbs list

This was a good find in the rain

Thanks!

Quick little find.
Thanks for the series Hoojar

#492 I spent the day meandering up the coast trying to pick up a few so I could go for the 500. Picked up a few leeches on the way.

Nice quick find. TFTC

Cache in excellent condition. Don't forget to bring a pen though.

No joy. Found lots of sprinkler heads & the remains of a small round blue container that could have been a cache but nothing else. May have just missed it though...

Good hide

TFTC. a couple of mini muggles trolls could not dampen our patience.

Thanks for the cache!

Took 2 goes but finally got it. TNLN SL TFTC.

Someone has dumped a whole pile of sprinkler heads under here. Cache was open but seems ok. TFTC!

Nice little hide.. Thanks

Found it

Found it

Found along with a muggles hash pipe!! Signed log left a small fish.

Dirty knees, done dirt cheap.

Heading down the Illawarra today and decided to divert. Looked around for about 5 minutes and decided to look closer. A bit of a squeeze for me as I'm big build. TN Left a small peg with a lady bird, SL. TFTC Hoojar.

Nice. Good spot.

TFTC! Sneaky spot!

Quick find with snorris while searching for TB's.

Found with paulyman, took some manoeuvring to get to! Grabbed the 2 TBs in cache, remaining one is MIA. TFTC.

Looked in every little nook, & every "obvious" place I could think of. Couldn't find on either side.

Did a bit of walking around the northern suburbs today for exercise and managed to drop off all of the dozen or more TBs that I had brought back from various places in Europe last week. TFTC

1505 GAFF1 While down 'the Gong Way' to get a couple of Radius Challenge caches I thought I would get at least a few others as well. Soon found this one. Dry and intact.
Took: Coin of Danmark, but the other one listed didn't appear to be there. Needs to marked MIA I believe.
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, Aust Light Houses, BEAGLE BIXBY, B 2 B ingot, BROWN BEAR 15, Fishing Bell TB, GoLeo Travel Bug Dog Tag, Iconic Bridges, Lil' Miss TB, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, PAP, Rienan TB, Trakabulldog geocoins, Travel Hard TB, and trackable shirt.

Where is it

TFTC!

Rock and roll!

Had attempted an approach to GZ for another cache mid last year but with road construction crews, couldn’t get close enough. Today was shocked by the speed of the building that’s gone on since. Even though mizmutt wasn’t quite sure of her footing on the rocks, at least cache was in the most obvious place I checked first.

Wow, the last time I was around here it was all trees, scrub and grass, now look at it! A quickish find in the first spot I checked, thanks.

first one for the night used to go motor bike riding here befir it was all developed any way thanks for the hide

Another neat hide Hoojar. Found this one last night on my way home in the dark, to keep my current streak alive. It's all the more fun lurking around structures like these in the dark with a torch. Thanks Hoojar great series and thanks for ths cache.

Tb drop

2nd find for the day. TFTC

Nice easy one for the start of the night , thanks hoojar

Nice cache Hoojar! Hopefully more people will hide some more caches around this area, and it would be great if some geocachers moved into that area. TFTC!

Nice cache with some rock to throw in the river. TFTC!

Easy find.

Cache check with Chip and Ding, all good.

Went hunting for this cache to collect the traveller inside. Sadly it wasn't there, but its another find all the same.
Cheers.

Found it and a trackable that appears to have been out of circulation for a while. Can't believe how much this area has changed. TFTC

Went trolling grabbed what I thought to be a tb turned. Out to be 3 tbs in one bag , oops unintentional tb hog

found it so close to home.

Found it, last for the day, thanks for the tour .

We all enjoyed an adventurous find after too many drive-bys!?!

T: Slugging Around the World! Geocoin

TFTC.

As we were looking around we got heckled by a neighbour, so our search got cut short, might come back for another look later on, nice spot though

For my 250th find (Mike250) I am so pleased to be able to drop off a travel bug I thought we had lost - from way back when I first started seriously caching.

We're expecting another baby so we're spring cleaning, in autumn, to make room... only to find the long lost Georgia's Shoe.

Furthermore, I play cricket for Thirroul so that's a nice touch also.

As for the hide, and the bridge... cache is there, well hidden. Thank you for the series to date.

needed to grab Georgia's shoe TB and drop off several others. This cache is well hidden so good enough to leave some travellers. TFTC

First find back where we grew up!! Helped Cass61 and cass62 find it after they had no luck earlier in the day TFTC

Tftc

Needed help from geocaching buddies "ygggd " after already searching earlier. A good discovery.

Our first day of holidays and it was time to grab a few more of the suburb series of caches.

Wow this area has changed since I was last up this way. Found the cache in the first place I looked.
Thanks

This series is great, generally the caches are fairly quick finds which is just what I need as I usually look to grab a cache on the way home from work after a night shift to help fill in the caching calendar & I don`t want to spend too much time on the hunt.
No luck with this one, I checked under the obvious structure, maybe not thoroughly enough so I hope to grab this one another time when i`ve got more time to search.
Cheers from CATONY.

Knowing the CO and trusting my GPS maps I parkes at the scouthall and walked over to the cache for a couple of hundred meters, only to find out I could have parked oon top of it at a road that does not exist in my GPS?

A quick easy find. TFTC

Quick easy find. SL TFTC!

A quickie at last.

Tftc. What a troll home

Good Friday is a bad day for caching with plenty of muggles at home, out walking or riding bikes. Nice hide.

These trolls need car spaces too.

Found it with my brother, HJ Smith. TFTC.

Published

Out caching with Chalk and the geo kiddies, soon located the prize on beautiful spring day. TFTC

Woo!! Our third FTF ever!! I liked retrieving this one but I'm not sure how long the new garden around it will last. Either way, it was fun. TFTC!

Another find with J & J.au and the geokids. Lovely new estate with beautiful views. Thanks.

Found it late at night with my brother. Thanks for the series. TFTC.

No such thing as a should have had FTF but since this one is pretty much at my work I should have made a dash out earlier. In any case, this one waited until the drive home and once at GZ a quick find. Looking at Google satellite view you can see just how much this area has changed. I got to witness it all each day on the way to work and I'm sure all the new residents will feel lucky they live in such a nice spot. TFTC!
