DNF and looked everywhere. Even checked the log for hints cause the hint didn't help

TFTC. Nice quick one for our first night time find.

Thanks

The hint was a little too detailed but it was a clever hiding spot

GPS was a bit jumpy but got there in the end.Nice one!TFTC*log will need replacing soon*

Heaps of fun thank you, took me a bit after looking on the wrong side of the stairs but got there eventually

Quick cache hunt after dinner in Merewether at the pub. Have driven past a million times and finally turned off to have a closer look. Great to see the towers close up. Needed the hint for the find. Log pretty full now. Off to get some icecream ! TFTC

Hidden very nicely. Took us a moment to find it but got it in the end.

Heading into Newcastle for an event. Nice easy park and grab TFTC

Day 6. A last minute plan had been hatched to make my way to QOGM. Very little planning had been done but a very rough outline was in place and it was going to be a day by day trip.

OZHockeyChick was flying in this morning for 3 days of caching around Sydney and Newcastle including Frying pan!

After dinner we headed out to grab a couple of caches, enjoying our long drives down the no-right hand turn roads, with metal barriers and concrete median strips to prevent any such thought of a uturn or loop around the block.

This one was on my target list given it’s name and after a short search we managed to find the right side for the hide. OzHockeyChick found this one.

Thanks Grub Fred for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

A quick trip to Sydney to meet up with RoamingHowie who was en route to QOGM.
Day One: An early morning flight from MEL. Then, passing through as many LGAs as possible as we drive up to Newcastle, finding various caches along the way.

We are a couple of ice-cream lovers from Melbourne. How could we pass by without checking out a GIANT ice cream?

Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Grub Fred

Found yesterday nice lil spot, we signed the log & added a sticker tftf!

TFTC

We are heading up the coast to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria.

Out grabbing a few around this area that we are staying or along the way. Grabbed a park nearby and made my way to GZ. The container was found after a short search, thankfully no muggles about. Some nice graffiti about.

Thanks Grub Fred for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

A nice quick find here dew to the good hint and
Co-ords.

Have driven past this so many times over the years. TFTC!

Found

Very creative container! Love the magnetic idea, partner almost gave up until he sat down.. cute lil area with graffiti art

Found it

Got it , careful of sharpes

TFTC!!

found whilst staying locally and travelled all the way from the uk. We were a bit scared about spiders and snakes but all was safe

Was looking for a cache to do while hanging in the area near grandchildren’s school. We’re on pick up duty today. This cache fit the bill well and so here I came. Another attraction was the CO is a great geocacher and we know him. With sun and cloud I ventured towards GZ and saw the item in the hint but the cache was not hidden. It was lying on the ground and the lid was missing. Having just dropped our midwife daughter off at John Hunter I was feeling all nursey so decided to give it a bit of A&E assistance. Back to the car for a replacement container with some attraction added and then what do you know it started raining on me for doing the good deed. Never mind! It’s hot anyway. It might make me cooler. With all replaced I was off for said grandchildren. Thanks for the cache Grub Fred.
Cheers and happy caching!

Tftc

slayyyyyy

Good spot, wouldn’t have found it without the hint (ps do not climb under the tree)

Ice cream? Yum! Was kinda a bit disappointed to not actually see a big ice cream (I really should pay more attention to cache descriptions) but what is here is even cooler. Water tanks seem to be a big attractor for graffiti artists (and graffiti 'vandals') and yet the area around GZ seems to feature a lot of quality graffiti style art compared to the random spray paint tags you see in various places. Having said that the area right near the cache might not be quite child-friendly at the moment, there is a message written nearby about someone's shaved chicken. Or something like that. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC!

Driven past hear for 50 years, but this was first time stopping

Tricky business ??

Staying in the hotel nearby and this cache was right next to it so off I went. The 24/7 hour security cameras were a bit worrying but the cache was quickly found regardless.

No lid but the log was dry. TFTC

Great hint.

Great one Grub
