As per last Cacher I Climbed all the way to the top and looked around in the grass but wasn't able to find it.
Even scoured the back tussocks
Great place but needs maintenance

It was a very Rocky and a bit dangerous. We were so close to it but didn't find .
Found by Miss 12 who had climbed this rock many times not knowing there was a hidden treasure at the top.
A nice climb up the rock. Beautiful view of the sea. TFTC
Dropped the Ring of Love - I trackable

This is probably my favourite type of cache - the 'pocket adventure' - only takes a few minutes but still manages that elusive wow factor.
Undoubtedly a favourite point.

Looked like a bit of rubbish when we werr looking for it as it was upside down
Well we didn’t need to ask the kids twice if they wanted to go to another beach and do some climbing. The Ez boys made it look easy here today with Teen Ez being the one to make the find. There were quite a few younger kids climbing all over the rock so we were glad they didn’t find it as we were awaiting to climb.
Thanks for a cool spot for a cache. Cheers.
Beautiful winters day!

A great spot for a cache. Enjoyed the climb and the scenery. A FP. Thanks alexander_peters
From Edinburgh, Scotland - my son is a huge Wiggles fan and this brought us to Wollongong. We stayed overnight in Kiama and so took the opportunity to find a southernmost cache. This was a great spot and fair challenge. TFTC
Dang! After the climb up I was really hoping to find this one. Must have looked rather odd, plump, middle aged woman on her own climbing the rock! Then inching her way back down again sadly nothing but scrapes and photos to show for my effort today 
Found this one while staying in a nearby cabin. Will be staying for 3 nights. Just love this part of the world
Haha! Rock and almost rolled off before realising there was an easier way up. Signed log, secured cache back into its hiding spot and took a moment to take in the views. TFTC!
Second time lucky finding this cache. Busy, busy day on the beach with good friday crowds. NJMJ Tribe...nailed it
The last time I had been in Kiama, I didn't have enough time to come here and have a look for this cache. Also, then already it looked like it was possibly missing, so I rather spent time on more likely candidates.
Today I cleared a sad blue face nearby, and then continued on over here over the rocks. It probably wasn't the best route to get to this beach, but interesting nevertheless.
Once on the beach I could see my target, and after walking around the base to see the best way up I made the ascent. Alas, my check around didn't reveal anything. Then, suddenly I saw several white spheres and thought I had made my find. Nope, on closer inspection, they were not spheres, but eggs, and sitting quietly on top of them was a duck, under the bush. That put an end to my search because I really didn't want to bother the expectant mother.
Then I saw something else that got me thinking I was going to get my smiley after all: it was a little white plastic bottle. I opened it and saw a bit of paper inside. Very promising. And then I was disappointed again: this little bottle was a time capsule some kids had put there last year with a note to themselves. Great idea, but not what I was after today.
So, no luck for me here today. I'm not saying the cache is not there, just that I didn't locate it today. It might be worth a CO check. Please don't bother the mother duck if you do go, though.

Wayyyyyy to many black ants today, no way I was going to crawl
Over them! Next time
Over them! Next time
We spent a few days on the camping next to this beautiful beach. We loved this cache and it is easy to find, when you read the hint.

Another cache that had terrain points that I fancied so decided to come check it out and see what it was all about! Found a very close park nearby at the end of what seemed to be a caravan park. Walked over to GZ and admired the natural rock, how cool!
Was very excited to start my climb and get up to the cache location!
After a short scramble I made it! A little bit scary really. The cache was very well camouflaged but the good hint helped me narrow down the search. I took the advice and laid on my stomach, wow a big drop below the cache this is not a cache for kids thats for sure!
Favourite point for the fun climb and good hide!

Out for the day with WEEO doing a few around Kiama before we do the Coastal Walk. Mr S clambered up all the way, WEEO clambered most of the way and Mrs S and Mrs WEEO waited on the beach with their hearts in their mouths......scary stuff. Fortunately Mr S found the cache and managed not to roll off. The descent was almost as difficult but both made it with only a few scratches.
Thanks...... I think.......alexander_peters and greetings from New Zealand.

With JerryBerrys found, after fun climb. Nobody about today, too cold for swimming.
Walking around the headland with friends decided we should try for this cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Sadly cache found at bottom in sorry state. Out it back again but log book almost unusable. Lovely spot.
The youngest volunteered to go up! Once placed it slipped off and fell but we grabbed it and put it back on top!
Took a while but got it in the end. Log book and contents are wet and cache requires maintenance. Great hide in a cool spot. Tftc
Found with Gronk while Juno ran laps around the base. It wasn't originally where I thought it would be. Keep looking. 
Forgot to log this one last weekend. A find with the salgal29 team. A special geocache find for us as it marks the spot of our wedding. We call this wedding rock
Lovely day, beautiful scenery.
On a walk from Kiama lighthouse to Kendalls beach and back and decided to leave the group and take a couple of little detours to find caches. Picked up a newbie geocacher as well, friend's husband joined me in the searching and loved it.
We didn't read the clue on this one and spent a lot of time scrambling over the rock, we were way behind the walking group so left it unfound to catch up with them. On the way back we had another scramble and still couldn't find it. Got back to the cafe for a coffee, read the hint and decided we simply had to go back. I sent my new partner up as my legs were fatigued and he put his hand on it immediately.
Thank you for this cache - it really was a spectacular location.

We are travelling down from Sydney to Kiama for the April school holidays, camping for a week at Kendells on the Beach Holiday Park in our Jayco Swan Outback camper trailer. This was the 5th of 5 finds for the day.
After collecting a few caches on the trip down from Sydney, we had now arrived at our campsite at Kendells on the Beach Holiday Park. And, after setting up the camper trailer and placing our "Trackable" geo number plate on display in the camper's front window, there was just enough light remaining to walk down to the beach and have a look for this cache.
Over to the rock we went, and up we climbed to reach GZ. Geoson#1 quickly made the find and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. The daylight was quickly fading, so down we climbed and back to camp for dinner. TFTC alexander peters.
