Maintenance in the next couple of days (when it stops raining) will be good to go by 28/08/2015
The big tree was cordoned off with orange tape for some reason. Storm wreaking havoc in this area perhaps? Anyways looked in the perfect place, then all around but did not find anything. Needing to keep caching on to get our numbers up, we didn't waste anymore time here. Thanks for the hunt xphenoms.
As a previous cacher has posted the cache must have been muggled and the cache is currently a plastic bottle wrapped in a plastic bag. If stumbled upon it looks like garbage.
It is still in the temp bottle but as no pencil couldn't sign log . Instead left 3 monkeys as guardians till CO can fix it up. Current bottle is likely to be turfed if noticed.

Found on a family BBQ day for Australia Day and a 15th Birthday. Good cache and took muggle relatives with us, possible converts to the cause - yaa! SL TFTC.
Been muggled. Found log blowing along track, replaced with temp bottle container.
I can't believe this one was here all this time - I used to walk my dogs right by here with no idea about Geocaching!

Found on our trip to Ettalong Beach for the weekend. After parking nearby, it was a very short walk over to GZ for a reasonably quick find, after following the hint. Nicely hidden in a great area. Lovely views from here too. TFTC xPhenoms!
Went for a drive with dad to find some geocaches down the coast after only finding one in the direct area to where we were staying (Macmasters Beach)
Quick find after reading the hint, signed the log and moved onto the next one Thanks!

Easy find after taking the kids for a bike ride along the foreshore. I have looked for this before so was surprised how quickly I spotted it today. TFTC

Summer brings out the beauty of the coast water. Today was absolutely splendid.
Geomissus started searching against the hint despite informing me what it was earlier. Quickly signed and on to the next one

GPS had me at least 50m away from the cache. It was freezing cold and I wanted to make this a quick find. There was a spectacular sunset. The sky was red and a rainbow too, sadly my phone was in the car with a flat battery. After circling the fig trees which cause the usual havoc with the Yellow Brick, I found the cache in the position that the clue suggested. TFTC!!!
The GPSr had me all over the place, but there was only one place it could have been really, thanks.
Walked along here with the geo-kids on Easter Monday afternoon, but the place was riddled with Muggles. The kids had a play in the trees (didn't spot a cache while up there, but did find a lone Easter Egg, so they were happy!) and on the tyre swing before we moved on. I came back at a much quieter time today, and had the place to myself. Without to much effort I spotted the likely hide and then with a stretch had CIH. Retreated to the table to log, made use of the peg to hold the bits of paper together Thanks for a very straight forward cache in a lovely location we visit often xPhenoms.
Too many clue looking objects looked at till right one found. Easy from there.

I could see where the cache would be from a mile away, but the container was still covered. SL. TFTC.
I very much enjoyed my walk this morning along this end of the foreshore reserve, and can well imagine this tree providing kids with some great fun over the years ... and probably a broken arm or two too. After a quick lap of the tree looking for likely hidey holes, I had cache in hand, and I must say it was very handy to have a work station close handy to be able to do the paperwork and look up the next cache in line. Thanks xPhenoms.
Got it with samfrench_101. Got to give him most of the credit though, he had it before I had a chance to start looking.
Deze werd vlug gespot want hij lag bijna zichtbaar voor iedereen

Quick find, interesting container.
Thanks for the cache xPhenoms
While on holiday in Central Coast, I decided to grab a few caches. I planned for around 20, and got nearly that many. Unfortunately, I was pressed for time, so there were some DNF's. But there were quite a few good caches, and I had quite a good time caching in Woy Woy.

I strolled on from “Memories of Storm Boy” and soon found this one which was quite visible as I approached. I took it to a nearby bench to sign the log then replaced it, concealing it as best I could.
Another brilliant spot. Thanks xPhenoms.

3/01/14. 8:04 AM. Cache #1183. 6th of 12 finds this morning, from Booker Bay to Ettalong, Blackwall and Woy Woy. With the car parked between "King Arthur's Sword" and here, I continued on foot and found this in seconds, definitely the easiest cache of the morning; just had to keep my eyes out for muggles. Kept walking on to "Memories of Storm Boy" next. TFTC }:)
Good coords led us straight to a likely hiding spot.

Nice spot with an old tree

I don't know how many times I've walked past this tree. Cache was pretty easy to find and pretty much walked right up to it. I forgot writing materials can send photo of log. NLNT. TFTC
Logging a little later for this one. Another quick find on the walk, covered the container up as best I could. TFTC
TFTC. An easy find. It was much harder finding the correct entry road. I should have had my car navigator with me. SL and replaced as found. Cache in good condition.
Parked over the road and made the dash in from there, as we approached there were quite a few muggles around GZ. They soon dispersed and we made a quick find. TFTC
Once upon a time this area was my playground too. I've been coming here for probably 30 years and used to have so much fun as a kid around the foreshore, out on the water and in the trees and mangroves. A quick find- TFTC!
Found this one whilst the kids were having a swing on the tyre. Left a squashed marble.
needed a place to have our Fathers' Day picnic lunch so came here and luckily there was a (if slightly worse for wear) table. Geomum started preparing the sandwhiches while I looked for the cache, and bingo, found it after a short search (I'd been reaching too far originally). Brought it back to the table and signed log and then had to wait for some muggles to stop climbing the tree before I could replace.
While we ate lunch there were many small geomuggles using the nearby tyre swing so I just had to check it out. Very fun!!
Afterwards had a nice walk from here to some other nearby caches, and was surprised that we saw two other groups of people using the quite broken table after us!??

This is a great little park area. Birds, tables, people, water and; Caches! [:o)] Enjoyed the views and a sausage roll with KittyKatch whilst signing the log. TFTC Phenoms.

Stopped off at Woy Woy on our tour of Brisbane Waters. Took a seat to enjoy a quick sausage roll and had the cache grabbed and log signed in no time. A beautiful area to stop to grab a couple of caches. Thanks a lot !
Ozvixen more tempted to climb the beautiful old tree than search for the cache but more caches were on the agenda and we ran out of time to play. Just as we returned to the car another couple approached with what looked like gps in hand however they quickly jogged past and on with their exercise/dog walk.
we had a wonderful afternoon out caching and really enjoyed this spot,Thanks xPhenoms for taking us to this beautiful place.A quick and easy cache TNLN

This was another quick stop off for a cache where finding a nearby parking spot was the only trouble. Once at GZ, I had to wait for a few muggles to walk on by before making the retrieval.
Gratias xPhenoms.

What a playground! I had a pretty strong urge to have a little play myself! Found quickly, but was grateful my partner is taller than me! Tftc in a lovely spot!
Had to wait a little before diving in for this one due to muggles.
Not sure if this is supposed to be "camo'd" or not, but it won't last if it isn't, too easily seen.

An easy find for someone with good eyes and who is not vertically challenged. TFTC, xPhenoms.
Found at 12 noon while out and about with the xambo4u team. Had looked at this one straight after our FTF nearby but a crowd of people around GZ but as we passed this time the area was much quieter. Mr 80 put his hand on this one and the log was signed. TFTC
12.00 Out and about with 80degrees while visiting Gosford for the state square convention. Drove passed this one previously but noted that there was was a crowd mounting. Did another couple on the Area and on our way back it was clear. Parked in a side street and it was only a short walk through the houses. While the rest of us were puffing around Mr 80 checked out the right crevis and quickly had it in hand.
Thanks for the cache

The geokids loved this tree. Such a good location with the bike path alongside the bay. Just gorgeous. TFTC.
Ahhhh, felt good to find this one after my bad luck at the James Brown Oval. Still raining, but on level ground it's more manageable. The two trees are magnificent! And a nice bench to sit and sign the log. TFTC!
A days caching on the Central Coast with my good friend AMGSARI. The day had all the highlights of some wonderful caches and locations along with a few disappointments. 27 finds and 4 DNFs.
As the birds made a racket overhead, we spotted the cache, signed the log and replaced as found.
Tks ... xPhenoms ... GazMag

This was one of many great caches while on the central coast for the day with my mate GazMag.
We should have looked at the map before setting out for this one.
walked from Blackwall point cache to this one,to save moving the car, only to realize that there is parking within meters of the cache.
a farily open hide.
i hope it lasts.
took nothing. left a little finger puppet toy that we found on the ground near GZ,
possilby fallen from someones Stash bag.
( once again sorry for the late entry, i only found ihad not logged this on thismorning) (18/4)

Arrived to see the Fishes and the Animals engaged in conversation at GZ. Nice to meet the people behind the user names.
Nice quick find. Thanks for the caches

As we arrived xxAnimalx was retrieving the cache, so an easy find for us. I use this track all the time to cycle north and back. I have actually looked at GZ a few times as a likely cache site. Thanks for the hide in a great location.
FTF.
Quick find once at GZ. Once the cache was in hand, Mr&MrsFish turned up, soon after YellowPlease, log signed, then we joined the hunt with Mr&MrsFish on other caches.
Great meeting fellow catchers when out and about.
