Hi Crakers_AJCL,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Couldn’t really pick up on the hints coming from the beach walk rather than the car park. No luck for us today. TFTC

Not today

Bring it out a little

Nope not today. Could see evidence of past looking but nothing seen tftc

Good find from geo hubby free an intensive search, lovely lovely spot here. Seems the local likes taking their dog for a walk here

After 15-20 min search, decided it wasn't my day. One more look at a potential spot.....Bingo
Was then a difficult job to find my way out!
Bush bashing done for the day
Thanks for maintaining the cache

Another stop whilst walking in the area. Was made difficult by Muggles very close to GZ.

Cheers

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
The hint was misleading for us at least. No postseen either on beach or track. Took a compass bearing in from track.
Cache is white topped. It is on the high side.
Cache in good order. Thank you for a new log. We were the first to sign.

Found it didn’t find any post like in the hint just followed the location and saw it just my luck

Looked for a fair amount of time, the geokid and geodog didn't have too much luck with this one but its a lovely spot we wouldn't have found without this cache location

Bit of a bush bash

Went on a little unnecessary bush bash but had fun and found it in the end. Waterlogged, and broken container. Needs attention

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 10774.

While trying to walk around to a new cache I found the satellite maps are a bit old. This took a while to track down and except for the new temporary log thus is soaking wet.

Thanks Crakers_AJCL for the cache.

As per my log this one needs some love.

2nd of 9 finds for today. Visiting for the weekend. Out on a bike ride as a family. What a stunning location Found! Found by geodad. Container needs maintenance. TFTC!

TFTC.

Good spot but container needs replacing TFTF

Great find. Container lid was completely broken. I’ve added some pieces of paper in a zip lock bag for future logs and also places the container in a clear plastic lunch bag into the container can be replaced. You can still see it as per the hint describes

Found but in need of maintenance, paper was very wet, hole in the lid, TFTC

After too many weeks of no geocaching due to Covid 19 restrictions, it's time for me to find a few Geocaches.... while practicing social distancing and proper hand sanitizing protocols of course.
A quick, easy find, and a great view... TFTC

Found it while staying here with friends. TFTC

Found. Used coord in log...on rock side of black pipe. TFTC Darwould and Plus Elle from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Find No: 7970. Visiting from Newcastle, at the last minute we managed to get a room at Tea Gardens Country Club where our son was playing with the V Dubs and we were able to secure the two souvenirs, thanks for the cache Crakers (A,J,C,L)!!

Found during a short visit to the beautiful Hawks Nest.

Found an interesting critter on the sand nearby while looking for this one
TFTC

Great beach day. TFTC

Nice n sandy!

Thanks!!

Found

Could not find the post but it about 55 paces from the track.

Left Port Macquarie today heading south to the Mega event At Canberra.
Our 1st stop on the way is an overnighter at Tea Gardens camping at the bowling club.
What a great way to visit your area following the caching trail. This took us to some great beach side locations & lookouts with magnificent scenery.
Took a walk in from the park area. got to GZ but did not find any pole as mentioned in the description. As we were preparing to return to the car we spotted the cache.
I have added a co-ord where we found it today.
Thanks for placing this cache Crakers_AJCL

No luck today and too many muggles enjoying the sunshine and clear waters for a decent search. Will co.e back after christmas for a twilighht swim and see if i have better luck then.

Found it @ approx 12:46

A nice easy find on a great day out and about!

Took grooving
Left nothing

Spent the last 30 mins trying to find the cache. Had no luck at all. Possibly missing.

This one is a DNF from me unfortunately. Spent 15-20 minutes searching. Found two points of ingress into the scrub. First one was near the post so likely not there. Second one was at GZ but no cache however, at GZ there was a square spot where grass had grown around something. I assumed that this maybe where the cache was placed. I shall return one day to find you.

Lovely spot none the less. TFTA

Visiting Hawksnest from Ontario, Canada and decided to go caching with CanAust. Nice beach, and Hawkeyes wife soon spotted the cache. SLTN LTB.

A pleasant walk along here today as the nor' easter was keeping things cool. Quite a few holiday makers sunning themselves on the sand at this very pretty spot by the water.
Our GPSrs were wanting us to head into scrub but we thought there's nowhere there to hide it. At about 7-8 metres west of indicated GZ cache was spotted quite exposed. LNSL. Removed a biscuit from the cache. Please cachers, do not leave food in caches as it attracts animals which could be the reason it was exposed. Rehid with some natural camo cover. Thanks Crakers

Nice walk from the car park and a beautiful spot. TFTC

Good spot. Gap

Beautiful location, makes you appreciate the natural environment around us tftc

Tftc. A nice hide in a stunning location. Only a couple of muggles around (one four-legged taking a two-legged one for a morning walk). Tnlnsl.

Found it!!!

Lovely view, and a protected spot. Good walk to get back to our car. Tftc!

Did not find looked for ages

TFTC what a view, thanks for bringing us here

After about five minutes of climbing through bushes to get to GZ, we immediately started looking in the wrong spot.
Still no luck after half an hour, so we decided to check the previous logs. Soon after, we relocated our search area and found it in about thirty seconds.
TFTC!!!

TFTC, nice walk and views, I found the cache just lying out in the open, replaced it in a secure spot.

Found at 1231.

After sprinting through the rain to get to GZ I made a quick find. I stamped the log and ran back just before the rain hit. I'm not wet as a dog, but have one more (:!

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache!

Been here so many times and never knew

TFTC

What a beautiful spot. TFTC!

We parked along The Boulevard to go swimming in the bay after a hot climb up Yacaaba. It was just over a 1km walk along the beach to this one where a quick find was made in a spot out of view of all the muggles. A really nice location and then a hard walk back heading straight into the strong wind. TFTC

Found it! TFTC!

Once again geocaching has taken me to another really beautiful location i would have never found if it weren't for the cache. Wonderful location. Cache want too difficult to find. Tftc!!! #852 a fav for me.

Found relatively easily using accurate location info.
Thanks for bringing us to this nice beach

Find #813
An afternoon in Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest today, we had done a couple here before, and it is such a picturesque area, we had no problems coming back to find some more. With six finds and one DNF, it was a good afternoon. We'll be back for Yacaaba one day this summer....
An awesome spot for a cache, the cache however was out in the open, plainly seen from 20m away. We tried to tuck it away a bit, but was pretty difficult, with only sand around to use as camo. TFTC Crakers

We cached our way up to Tea Gardens, and had lots of fun! TFTC

A nice walk and beautiful beach setting

A nice walk in a beautiful beach setting!

Found it!!

Good fund! Even if we walked the long way round and over the mangroves

TFTC Crackers. Easy find, well placed but alas the cache container sprung a hole at one end and the log was wet. Dried log somewhat and repositioned cache a couple of metres away on high ground. The hint is still valid. What a lovely place for a cache!!! Jimmytherat with Noelle04.

Thanks Crackers! Found with Jimmytherat. Had to visit Jimmy's Beach to satisfy the other half of this team, so zoomed in on this one. Unfortunately could use a bit of TLC! Was in the open and had a hole in it which has soaked the log etc. have tried to dry a bit & put some new paper but suspect an animal had got to it! Replaced it on to slightly higher ground. Hope this helps. Excellent spot.

Lovely view of the bay! TFTC also left 5c

Found it just before Sunset 18/06/16

Found at 3:34 PM GAFF3 - although the hint doesn't really help much as it takes you to where the co-ords take you.
We enjoyed the walk and met some fishing muggles returning empty handed, however when we arrived at the beach we noticed some tyre tracks and realised that we could have driven here, which is much more in p-pprass's style
We spent a lot longer than we should have to find this cache as the GPSr was indicating to search 4 metres into the bush - so we did for some time. The cache was eventually found in a very simple location that you don't normally check on.
Thanks Crakers_AJCL.

Found it. Added a shell & a frog to the three little pigs. Riley

Yay this was our 450th cache, great job Ryan girls

Nice hide. Thank you. We stamped the wrong date

Found with Han!

Found it with Landstrider; my little girl loves the makeup compact! Left a leather bracelet x

Another windy cache. We walked the track from another nearby cache. Awesome swaps. Time for dip...

We was here

Found with 'the neighbs' while on a trip back to Sydney. TFTC

Found with 'sesblocker'. TFTC

Found with stephanniiee123

Enjoyed the early morning walk to a nice view and found the cache easily and saw Barns Rock

TFTC

Beautiful Spot,
TFTC

On our annual New Years eve pilgrimage to the area. Tricky find, could be anywhere. A good 20 minute search, not so much search but look from a distance, as do not want to be trampling the vegetation even if it is just Bitou Bush. Read the hint, which showed us we were in the right place, and it did help us zero in on the cache. It made more cryptic sense once we found it. TFTC.

Nice day at Windawoopa for our annual camp on the beach. Took a while to find but the hint helped. TFTC

Great small hike to this cache. Enjoying the sun after many gloomy days.

After fighting off the worlds biggest arachnid I got my hands on it. TFTC and Merry Christmas

A quick find.
Tftc

Pretty sure we found gz
Clues were making sense
Unsure if the shifting sands have hidden it

Tftc
Found and signed after a swim on a 37 deg day.

Found after some machinations. I found the GZ and the hint some what obscure to me, but obviously only to me because everybody is finding the cache. Thanks Crackers AJCL.

Nice walk, stopped off at the little lagoon.

Nice beach. Pity about the pipes. Tftc

Found this cache, no longer red clip container but blue container.

New cache container. Old pad was waterlogged and had to go.

Another sensational winter day in Hawks Nest!
