Looked around for a good 10 minute with no luck. Think it has gone again
 
18-Mar-15
Every time I go for this one it has been muggled
 
22-Jan-15
After parking and looking at #4 we came here and wandered around in circles for quite a while, before reading the hint and only searching one area. It still took a while longer to actually find. The coordinates are not perfect, but it is hard getting accurate numbers in such an area (even our GPSr's jumped around a lot, so could not get any better ones).
Thanks for the search and cache!

This one took a while to find i was searching roughly the right spot but managed to over look it. TOMBI had a proper look and spied it. TFTC

28-Oct-14
I will check up tmw or weekend... Thank Snakepiters
 
27-Oct-14
We came back to this when we finished the run of caches. Our gps put us back in the same area. We found the fake plastic tube. However we now found the remains of cable ties and no tube, or magnetic. Not sure if this has been muggled. It was a pity that we were unable to complete all of them.
 
27-Oct-14
Sorry not today
 
02-Oct-14
This cache had a 'substitute' which looked very much like a muggled cache ... but it wasn't the correct one. Thanks to previous logs we kept looking and found the itsy-bitsy container sooner than expected. The odours being emitted from the nearby pumping station had to be smelled to be believed. Although the lake area was beautiful we were pleased to depart after signing the log. TFTC, ALL7.
 
23-Sep-14
Fond a dark tube with no lid or log in the obvious place for a cache is this ment to be the cache might need fixing
 
23-Sep-14
Can't tell if dark tube that looked like the last ones in this series with no lid or log is the cache .
 
22-Sep-14
I had wanted to catch up with the older son, and as he was still working in Newcastle I headed a little bit south to grab a GeoDash at Lake Munmorah. So when I pulled up GSAK to see what other caches were close by I chose a couple of the ALL7 walk/cycle series. On the way to #3 I found an unlikely looking trig station "PW195". As I hadn't loaded #2 into the GPS I didn't realise until when I got home that I was also VERY close to #2.
As I was looking for #3 there was still a few muggles walking their dogs, and one couple stopped when they saw me with a clip board (and the recently graffitied building) and started talking about the school holidays.
It took a bit of persistence and patience to eventually find 'the sucker'. Yep that black tube was there, and I put back where it was initially - NOT THE CACHE.
Obviously the cache was not big enough to put a CSM into Wink

Reperio at 1325.

After attending the Katut event at sunrise today, I was headed home and decided to stop by this one along the way. After searching around for a few minutes, I noticed on the GPS that the last few logs were all DNF's, so I headed back to the car. Fortunately I looked at the most recent log on my phone and saw that the cahe had been replaced, so back I went with a renewed vigour, and eventually found it.

Gratias ALL7.
 
12-Jul-14

There was a dark tube lying on the ground with no lid.
Perhaps that was the container.

Ooh no!, the shame of it all, another dnf. Oh well...

TFTC found with madivad - team effort, cheers

This is a really nice walkway along the lakes edge. However, today the smell of rotting seaweed was overpowering, bringing back un-fond memories of migraine headaches from similar smells in my younger years. Totally Ghastly

Thought I might finish this series of caches on the way to the shops. Been here before but had no luck. With a better search pattern, I soon had the CIH. SL TFTC
 
27-Oct-13
This one is I think a bit lower than what might have been intended. Of those in this series TaurusSix and I looked for this was the hardest to find.
 
26-Oct-13
No can do this time.
 
26-Oct-13
Had us going around in circles for a little bit until we just stuck our head in and had a good look
 
26-Oct-13
Spent way to much time searching for this, gave up went and did #4 before returning in the end found a familiar container. SL TFTC
watch out for the bull ants they hurt
 
13-Oct-13
This one was a little bit tricky and the smell really puts you of looking but eventually found it and continued on our way.TNLN SL Thanks ALL7
 
13-Oct-13
Hot day for caching but nice along the lake pathway with CO all the way.
Had a fabulous day.
Thanks for bring me here and cache
 
11-Oct-13
Having a break at the lake and a DNF on this one. Looked in most nooks and crannies as well as surroundings but could not locate.
Maybe on the next trip.
 
07-Oct-13
Found it
 
02-Oct-13
Gave up on this one..... Spent too long looking and after doing what I think is a similar one down the track, couldn't find it anywhere, plus I had to get away from the sewage smell
 
24-Sep-13
We continued further along the pathway to locate this one, it took a few minutes and we had to look from just the right angle to spot the container. Thankfully the flowers here managed to mask the other smells while we were locating the cache.
Thanks again ALL7.
 
23-Sep-13
Our second find on this track, it's a bit on the nose here so I was left to complete this one myself.
 
22-Sep-13
We were in town for a wedding, and with a bit of time up our sleeves we grabbed a few caches while out and about.
A nice series on a nice bike track we use to ride on when we lived in this neck of the woods.

Thanks ALL7 for the caches in the area.
 
20-Sep-13
I took far too long to spot this one, but eventually was just at the right angle to see it, quite a simple hide really, but effective. Thanks for the cache, but it was really smelly here today with the wind coming off the lake.
 
20-Sep-13
Nice Walk Area
 
19-Sep-13
Another morning run of a series of caches and this is a great little series along the lake, all caches were located quickly, the only real issue we found that the stench in the lake is very ordinary in places but that being said we enjoyed the lot thanks all7 for your work.
 
15-Sep-13
This one was a bit harder but coords seemed good. Thanks
 
14-Sep-13
Well another blank log, Second FTF for the morning, Nice cache, TFTC.
 
14-Sep-13
This cache stinks! Seriously though, thanks for the cache. Signed Log.
 
14-Sep-13
Sorry. Zip tie broke.
 
14-Sep-13
Saw this series published this morning and being late starters we weren't expecting any FTF. A bit tricky hunting while holding ones nose. Applied an earlier logic here and came up with the goods. Sorry ALL7, Mr C broke your zip tie and we didn't have a spare with us. Thanks again.
