Time to progress this one.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Decided to travel as north and east as I can go in the metropolitan area. There are some caches around Palm Beach for the taking, although a few too many look to be muggled.
On the way there were two caches at Terrey Hills to be grabbed, one I'd previously DNFed.
All up, got seven. And a nice day out for it.

Made my way to GZ via the pool

Amazing carving. Waves crashing - and it's not high tide.
No cache to be found.

Cache check required.

Walked down Malo Road, found the pathway and walked down to the beach. Followed the sand on the right past the swimming pool and over the rocks until I found old man and Lizard sculptured in the rock. Great hide. Loved the views. No TBs in cache. Cache and log are dry. TNLN SL TFTH TFTC

Looped around from Malo Rd, past the pool and onto the rocks. The rock at gz is fascinating, shame there's no contextual information near it. The hide, at least as I found it, won't last. I suspect it isn't currently hidden as the CO originally hid it, and would recommend a cache check. Thanks GEOCACHER567.

17/11/13. 6:46 AM. Cache #1070. 1 of only 2 finds today. Targeting Northern Beaches caches under 2 months old, starting up here. I parked at the end of Malo Rd and then made my way down the steps to the rock pool. The rain had eased to a trickle - would not have been pleasant 10 minutes earlier. As I walked past the back of the pool, I wondered how I was going to get to the search area without getting wet (wearing jeans and hiking boots), but I managed to find a way hopping around the rocks.

I spied the old man and the lizard and made my way over and from there it was an easy find. Made my way back to the car and looked at what was next. Not having swimmers on, I decided to abandon SURFER'S DREAM and I Dream of Jeannie, so drove off to Dr. Zouk's Zany Zeal Revived. TFTC }:)

Found with Scott&Ramona. Had to be sneaky with so many people there on a sunny Saturday! TNLN.
 
02-Nov-13
Found with Ellie&Carl. This one took a while to find, even with four of us searching. Great spot for a cache and an awesome carving too! TOOK: Oi! Oi! Oi! TB and a Hawaiian keyring, LEFT: A NSW Police button. TFTC!

Came here on a beautifully sunny day. Super high tide made the section past the pool a bit dodgy, but timed my movements and was in the vicinity of the cache. Pondered on what the old man might be, looked up, and saw him from a distance away.

Dropped a TB.
 
04-Oct-13
Found with geo-Nonnie!
Left keychain, postcard...TFTC
 
02-Oct-13
Found early in the morning during a stroll around the beaches. Lovely spot for rock hopping.
The prospect of getting to places like these is always a good reason to be out and about so early.
Thanks #567 - Only 1 *FTF* today... Should have brought my watercraft!
Geo-Haiku:
There's no surf today,
What a beautiful morning!
Think I'll take a swim...
