We were looking everywhere around and trying to use the hints in the comments but didn’t find anything
 
25-Jul-21
Once restrictions are lifted I'll go and check on this one.
 
02-May-21
couldn’t font it anywhere , i think someone stole it or lost it.
 
18-Feb-21
Tried shining a torch into the nooks and crannies but to no avail. Would have been an interesting location tho
 
03-Jan-21
Tried lifting some bricks 15m SE of the location but couldn’t find it. Did find some spiders though
 
20-Sep-20
Think I found the location but there was a big gap there so maybe a block has been moved? I didn’t find anything anyway. It has been just over a year since this was found.

Coords out a long way with this one.
 
03-Jun-19
Looked under every book and cranny but couldnt find anything even went into the bushes but nothing of notice that a geocache was there
 
26-May-19
Quick find while waiting to meet up with friends. Extra hints from the logs helped zone in a lot faster. Tftc

Coordinates were 18m out for us thanks for the hints. Great little find.

This morning was set aside to attempt to make amends for two previous dnf's of the CO and I'm pleased to say it was mission accomplished. Thanks to the previous logs that mentioned that the cache was about 15mts SE of the listed cords it was a find for me this time. TFTC ziggiau.

Thanks to previous finders comments mentioning that the coords were about 15m off and some basic understanding of how masonry walls work i was able to locate the cache within about 2 mins of searching.
Thanks.

Oh boy am I glad I read logs about the cords being out. Mine GPS reported cache was 20m from GZ. I was driving past childless today so finally decided to park and walk and search. Not an easy find, and think I fluked it having read another log. Signed log and replaced!
 
06-Jul-18
There is no need to do the awkward bushbashing like I did. For some reason I was looking 15 metres to the north west not 15 metres to the south east like mentioned in a previous log. Still took quite a while to find it though until the right brick was removed. TFTC
 
29-Jun-18
Discovered in a matter of minutes. Cache is nicely constructed. Thanks.
 
22-Apr-18
Quick find today. Coords a bit off. Tftc

ziggiau I found your cache Concrete and Clay on 25/3/18, 12:06 pm. This is my find 1940 and find # 3 today. After taking note from other logs, didn't take long before cih. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Took a slight deviation on my way to work today, jumping off the M5 at King Georges Road, to grab a few caches at Beverly Hills, Mortdale, and Oatley. This was the 1st of 3 finds, and 1 DNF, for the day.

Parked the geomobile on the opposite side of busy King Georges Road to the cache, then headed up over the pedestrian walkway to reach GZ. Thankfully I had read some of the previous logs before my arrival, so knew the coords were out by some 15 metres, and the knowledge soon paid off with a quick find of the cache container at exactly 15 metres SE of the published coords. Signed the log sheet then replaced as found. TFTC ziggiau.

OMG I HATE THIS CACHE BIT AWESOME SPOT. LOOK HARD CACHERERS
 
18-Feb-18
Wow. Last time I was millimeters away from the cache. This time we were almost out of luck but my brother moved something suspicious and finally found it.

TFTC
 
18-Feb-18
Wow! What a cache! After searching for 30mins high and low, putting my hands in holes, uncoverinf new areas to no avail, finally i pushed the brick out of the way to uncover a bit of masking tape, in which the cache was attached to! TFTC. #96 so close!
 
11-Feb-18
Geodad had to do a late night run to keep the team's streak in play. A quick search had the CIH. TFTC.
 
08-Feb-18
After seeing no likely hidey holes at the GZ, and after reading some previous logs about a discrepancy in the co-ords, I headed to a more likely hiding spot about 15m. from the GZ and soon made the find. TFTC.
 
03-Jan-18
After squeezing into a very small parking spot I found this cache.TFTC ziggiau
 
03-Jan-18
OCW Mrs Aries today and picking up a few.
Once we found a place to park a short walk brought us close to GZ. We spent a bit of time examining some likely places. A check of the logs indicated the cords might be a little incorrect so we widened our search and I got to a point I was thinking .....this is too far away....however I located the cache. A check of the GPSr (Garmin 600) showed a distance of around 15 metres for indicated GZ, as indicated in the previous log. We did the signing and re hid and I visited a TB. TFTC ziggiau.
 
27-Dec-17
After having lunch at Pancakes we thought we would pop over and grab this after we had eaten. Arrived at GZ ad searched for sometime and we were about to give it, when bingo,found it. GPS still had us 15m out. TFTC
 
18-Dec-17
Out caching with geodaughter. Here I took the high level while she stayed grounded. We searched all the nooks and crannies (except one apparently) but came up empty handed this time. TFTC.
 
01-Dec-17
Second time lucky. After my previous frustrating DNF, I returned. Last time the gps seemed a little out, and my search proved fruitless. There were just too many possibilities. But now armed with more accurate coord info, I honed in on the correct spot. But there were still many possibilities! Fortunately it didn't take too long before I moved something and saw the cache hiding there. Signed the new log as FTF on this newly revived cache and in a new location, then replaced it all as found. Six months unloved days on it too.
Well the concrete didn't crumble beneath my feet (as per the song) but the clay was kind to me, so I was able to turn this frown into a smiley face. This is a very, very sneaky hide. TFTC Cool
 
30-Nov-17
Given the easy ratings on this cache I thought I would walk straight up and find it. But but after a 20 minute search in about 99 nooks and crannies on all 4 possible levels at GZ I came up empty-handed. Even an extra hint from the CO didn’t help my quest. Better luck next time.

Coordinates changed from:
S 33° 57.104 E 151° 4.985

Coordinates changed to:
S 33° 57.169 E 151° 5.037

Distance from original: 474.9 feet or 144.7 meters.

Found a new possie for this one as the old location lost all its camo potential over the years. Old finders will be of no use to future PAF requests.
 
23-Nov-17
Updated description and hint to match the new location.
 
30-Jul-17
Missing again, might be time to let this one go.
 
17-Jul-17
Looked for ages. Read all the recent logs but still no luck.

I had a day of meetings at Potts Hill today but took the opportunity to grab a few caches before I started and after I finished.
Had to sit in the car at GZ for a short period as the severe weather passed. Once I was on the hunt it took to thinking outside the norm to get this one.
Thanks

Up the Hume and across to Beverly Hills via the m5. The plan was to attack a heap of caches between Beverly Hills and the royal national park before heading south to home.

Wow! Some great caches and great places around here especially down to the royal national park. I've only done the drive through there once before. But as always love the grand pacific drive as the preferred route heading home.

Visited some trackables we had on board with us today and handed out some favourite points (Sydney always does this too us!!)

Special thanks to all the CO's and their efforts.

TFTC TNLN.

Back in place with more secure camo.

Have materials for a new container, just putting it together now, should be back online shortly.
 
14-Dec-16
This one appears to be MIA (camo seems to have changed a little since the original placement). Replacement coming soon.
 
30-Oct-16
Tried this one on two other occasions - way too many muggles about ! So, hopped up at the crack of dawn hoping to find an empty car park. Lucky Us - One car and NO ONE around. At last, VICTORY. SL; Thanks for another great cache, Ziggiau
 
27-Sep-16

While looking for this one. Saw a considerate disabled driver Park in the normal spot reserving the disabled spot for other people.

No. 704

I was in the area today for work training, so stopped by for this one on the way home. Parked 2 spaces from GZ and made the find immediately. Coords spot on. Signed and replaced as found. TFTC!

GeoDirk is skiing with the scouts. HanorahTLG is at an aunt having a Harry Potter movie weekend. That can mean only one thing: A peaceful and quiet noon for geocaching!

Quick find after walking through Beverly Hills with the contents of a milkshake spilled over my pants. It's a good thing that fashion these days includes different colours patches on your clothes!

Have to be very careful not to be caught by muggles !
 
05-Jun-16
A quick find in the pouring rain at 5;20 am Sunday morning on my way from greystanes to the international airport to pick up my brother. He is coming for a visit for 2 weeks. We have not seen him for 4 years.
It is not a good day to be arriving from London. TFTC. Might be my only one for today.
 
12-May-16
A great small cache.
 
10-May-16
The driving muggles kept continuously moving and there were none on foot so this was an easy grab, sign and replace.

My first Geocache! Thanks guys!

Was able to avoid the muggle states as I sat quietly next to this one.

Signed and back in place.

"That's the way, hmmm-mm; the way it's meant to be".

Sooooo many muggles! But quick find with Sidpunts. GPS and hint on point.
 
24-Apr-16
Geowife went out for the day with gk3 so I was left at home alone with geotwins; gk4 & gk5. Hmmmm, what to do, what to do? Time to dust off the ol jogger pram and put rubber to road me thinks.
I picked a few of the closest GZ and headed out the door with my first target being MM-Penshurst. Then I headed to C&C and was a bit worried when I saw that GZ has been damaged and a few landmarks relocated.
I looked around and then thought maybe I was wrong in my concerns, and just looked right where it should be and bingo, found.
The log was full so I placed another in there all rolled up for the next visitor. Next...
 
19-Apr-16
My first real visit to Beverly Hills.

Made a quick find thanks to the hint and no real muggle activity

A quick find but it was in the open. Rehid but not exactly sure if it was back in its original location.

found a while ago with papaka79

First time trying this out so I went for the one closest to home, didn't take me too long to find it but I'm glad it was there
 
01-Feb-16
This was meant to be an easy find and with very few muggles stopping by I thought this would be a quick park and grab. Saw the hint and considered the title, but could I find it quickly? No! Wandered around considering some other options, checking in with a PAF, finally digging in and soon had CIH. Was very well covered, maybe too much, so put it back so that the next finder might get it in less time! Anyway, I can tick this one off. Neat little container in a potentially very busy area. TFTC. #290

Tried swinging off a pole to stand on the wall and nearly killed myself in the process.. an interesting container, first time I've seen this type.. easy parking around midnight. TFTC

Heard there was a keadle cache in the vicinity over the past week, unfortunately I am not the chosen one so missed that opportunity... Luckily this one was still here for me to find!

Thank goodness for a quick find. My very first 1/1, and last of six on a 2hr Wednesday evening sprint through Kogarah. I think they were all from the same CO, thanks ziggiau for all the fun.

Another attempt at this one, once again in the rain, thankfully successful this time round!
