Suggest this cache to be archived, the maintainer, Joshmu, has not logged on since Friday, 18 October 2013 - almost a year has passed !
No luck today, only thing I found was a couple of angry golfers walking past GZ.
We searched in a number of possible locations, but to no avail, nothing found.
My daughter had a party in Crows Nest, so I used the opportunity to search for some nearby caches. I joined the path up the road from the boat ramp and after finding the first 2 caches along the way continued past the golf course. There were a few players on the nearby hole, but they were skillful enough not to hit me so I was able to join the next section of the path. As I approached GZ I saw a number of likely spots, but when I turned around saw a flash of colour - the container! I used a stick to retrieve it, just in case, but no other occupants were at home. I signed and replaced, then headed back to the car and the party, feeling very hot by this stage - isn't it supposed to be nearly winter?? TFTC
This one was a bit annoying. The GPSr took me to a likely place but after a few minutes searching I could not locate the cache. I looked further afield and found it some 10 metres away.
It's a nice spot for a cache. SL, thanks TheMattmosphere and JoshMu.

Came here via Bunnings. Last time it was rainy, not that much of a problem except that the GPSr was way off course. I only know that because today it pointed me to quite a different spot where I found the cache pretty much straight away. The geowife was with me, she said that if all caching was as straightforward as that she might come more often. A pleasant stroll.

Great cache, if you're struggling to find it don't give up, you'll be very close!
Tricky little devil! We found you in the end. Needed a stick to get you out as no one was willing to put their hand in there! TYFC.
Forgot to log this find. Found it after doing two other caches, nice view of the bay. Did a kayak trip the next day with Mrs swagosaurus46.
This didn't work out - there was the dreaded fox-bait sign at the entrance to the walk so I took geodoggie back to the car. I came back alone and looked around in quite a few places but it wasn't to be today.
Read logs that said it was sneaky so good chance it is still there.

Tricky one for first timers. We went quite off track.....Tobias found it. Great job. Was getting darker. Been golf ball hunting so added a little pressie for next cacher. Signing off after snagging 4 caches on first outing. Have worked up a hunger. Off to Brown Rice for dinner.
No pen so couldn't log. In fact a pen wouldn't fit because of shape so bring your own.
After playing the 18 holes this morning at the nearby golf course, I really enjoyed this walk around the harbour. Cache in good condition.
I'm sure I did a cache here a few years ago and asked the same question about whether marko is the guy in the clubhouse. Needed the clue but that was fine as coords a little out on the phone. Tftc tnln
Lovely track, a brief diversion from my morning jog. And a great little container. Thanks.
I actually found this cache a few weeks ago but didn't have a pen on me so I had to make a return trip. Took me a few tries to find the exact hiding spot but got there in the end. TFTC!
Heavy rain made it quite hard to use the phone safely, so I got close and then put it in my pocket. Took me a while - checked quite a few places, although in hindsight I should have paid more attention to the terrain rating.
Well I was way off course where I was looking, made this much harder than it should have been.
I shouldn't have read the logs as that had me looking in all sorts of wrong places and in the end the co-ords were spot on and it was easy.
Oh well, that's how caching goes sometimes!

Great hide. I couldn't sign the log as I didn't have a pen on me. This track is a regular walk for me so I'll sign next time I walk past. TFTC.

Found during an afternoon walk around the foreshore track with the geo-crew. Must have punched in the wrong co-ords when heading east as I thought this cache was well up the hill in the middle of the course. Finished the walk, re-entered the cache co-ords for the walk back to the car and voilà!, it was right near the track. Still had to cotend with a few walking and golfing muggles though. Many thanks

So, I drove over and parked near the fishing vessels and trailers. I walked along a path, watched out for golf balls and arrived at GZ. Then I spent around 10min looking everywhere, even the hint wasn't helping me. I read some previous logs, and expanded my search. Sure enough, about 6m off from my GPSr, I found the cache. SL, TNLN and returned again. TFTC.

Quick find with CJ this evening. Done a few around here in the past. Nice vest find, although cords showed about 10 meters out with the GPS. SL TFTC
Beautiful area with picturesque boat bay and trail up to the bottom of the golf course. Found cache in good shape, not soggy. SL and replaced camo. Thanks for another great cache, Mattmosphere!
We had initally planned to do the nearby kid playground one but on driving it was fully occupied so we headed down to the bottom to park and take the little bush track to this one. We had to let a few golfer muggles go by before we started teh search. A looking in all the nearby spots did not turn up a find. We then expanded our search radius before making the find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Sneaky. Found him without too much hunting, but it was on the second, more detailed, sweep.
A nice walk over with Hinafuji. Took a bit of searching til I expanded the search and found it. Nice area. TFTC
13/04/13. 10:30 AM. Cache #544. Current streak: 216 days. Three months to the day since finding the trail of Pip & Robbie's 5 caches that skirt around Northbridge Golf Course, with Yelyac and our friends edtam26 & Techno Marksman. This new one has popped up right near a spot where we had to wait almost half an hour to let golfers through on that day, near "Flog". Today, I was on my own and had timed it just right between groups of golfers to stealthily make the find. I hadn't seen an online log in the 23 hours since this had been published, so I wasn't sure of my chances, but when I made the find the log in the cache was pristine, so I scored the *FTF*. Moved along to have a really quick look at your other new cache (the rich parents one), but decided to save that for another time as Saturday morning sport was in full swing and had that area crawling with muggles. TFTC. }:)

Heading across to GZ after completing the other new cache here today while working on iPhone only a suddenly realised I had 1% battery! Quickly took note of where the location should be from the map before the phone eventually died!!!! I then was left to try and secure a possible FTF with no GPS. Unfortunately in these woods that was too much of an ask and I had to head home with no FTF and no result.
Ah well I'll come back.
