Walked the dog past here today as I have many times before and, as a previous finder, I can confirm the cache is no longer in place. 
If you've seen this cache before it's very easy to find it again if it's 'attached' but nothing seen. Whilst I didn't go digging anywhere or looking under leaf litter etc I had bit of a look around the area and couldn't see any part of the cache around . I did like the outer camo for the cache which blended in very well

I did like the outer camo for the cache which blended in very well Thanks to Riokun for checking this for me - sad to say this means this we have to bid adieu to another mumma-kel cache (not many of them left in my absence now!) - thanks to the 200+ finders of this cache, especially those 18 who added it to their favourites. Cache on coasties!
Have revieved request regarding this ones MIA state... as I am 4000ks away I have asked a friendly neighbourhood ogre to check its status for me...will advise as soon as possible.
Found a few days ago and didn't log on the app. Very clever spot and written in log.

After finding the cache on the Big Gun I headed down the road and then the path. Once at GZ it didn't take too long to find the camo and cache - TNLNSL TFTC

Found a couple weeks ago. Returned today armed with a pen to sign. Cool hide. Thanks!
Very tricky. Did a test run last week with a friend and could not get this one. Found it today. Thanks!
OCW oldmorty for the second week in a row. Today's direction is north to the lower central coast.
Thanks to all the cache owners
for maintaining the caches.

The recently formed firm of removalists, "marj01 + 1 and oldmorty", had their first job today, transporting baby equipment up to the Central Coast. Whilst up there we found time for a few caches. Thanks to all the cache owners who provided a diversion in the day. Loved the concept of this cache and worthy of a FP. Cheers oldmorty.
very busy day on the bike path today. couldn't locate so moved on to two others nearby
Count another one for GeoDad! This one had us stumped and we were ready to call it as darkness began to fall. Luckily he looked at the right place. Very good but very devious!!! Low and steady wins the race...
Super sneaky, took a while to find- thanks to the passerby who reminded us to look low
Cheeky hiding spot! Look for man made, something out of place in hidden sight
Cheeky spot and very fun to find! You almost knew to have a look there. First find with my friend and I’m excited for many more.
This spot seems to be mosquito home!
I was up here on the Central Coast for some birdwatching this morning. That means its afternoon geocaching!
So far I'd made 3/3 finds and came down to this walking track as I neared the way to the freeway. Parking for the geomobile was easy and there were no muggles along the walking track. I was busy looking into the water in the hope of spotting that elusive bird and overshot the GZ area. Careful scanning as I walked back and I found the cache hide.
Very clever!
Worth a favourite point, its unique.
Of course once I signed the log, 2 muggles appeared in the distance, one in each direction so I played on my phone while waiting for them to pass the replaced the cache and headed for Sydney. A very successful day!

Wow! This is such a cool spot! A little nervewracking as people kept walking past

Well...
I'm after some finds today - those calendar finds don't just go up by themselves. But what to do?
I've been stuck on 49 Large finds for a while, and of course there's a Challenge Cache I've been eyeing that requires 50. But unfound Large caches near home aren't in any sort of supply.
I've also noted that the most different cache sizes I've found in a day is five. That leaves two to increase that stat by, and again there are Challenge caches around...
After a look outside the Sydney Basin I worked out that if I head up to Gosford I can actually grab all seven sizes, which will, of course, include that 50th Large find.
Sounds like a plan!
But making sure I get the seven meant that I ended up backtracking a bit, and snagged a few extras just before heading home, close to where I started.

Clever hide. Took me a few minutes to spot something out of place and make the find. Signed, replaced and then the muggles started turning up. Great timing me!

A nice little interlude to the xmas chaos.
Found with Baktrak's sharp eyes and lateral brain.
The images were very helpful too thanks, and cache clever of course.
and thanks for showing us a beautiful part of the C/coast.
A fav from me

We hit the coast for Christmas dinner and grabbed the chance for a couple of finds. We spent quite a while on this one, 'though in our defence, the Garmin wanted us on the wrong side of the path much of the time. Once we spotted the cover, we knew we had it. Thanks Mumma-Kel.
We have travelled up from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to the Central Coast, staying for a couple of nights in a park cabin at the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort (Caravan Park) in Bateau Bay, for a short weekend getaway & caching holiday. Our primary caching target areas will be along the coastal strip from The Entrance to Terrigal, Erina, and Gosford. This was the 6th of 9 finds for the day, and the 27th of 30 finds for the weekend.
With our short holiday weekend almost over we are now back on the road and heading homeward, but stopped off along the way in Gosford for some shopping and caching. Parked the geomobile in the West Gosford Bunnings carpark and then set off on foot to visit a few caches around the area.
Took a walk along the pedestrian & bike trail behind Bunnings and soon arrived at this one. Quickly spotted something a little out of place and, on closer investigation, it was CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Have seen quite a few of these in our caching travels, but they do blend in well and are usually invisible to passing muggles, and it's a most appropriate item for this particular cache. TFTC Mumma-Kel.

Epic hiding place. The amount of times I’ve walked past this is incredible. Nice one!!!
TFTC. A nice quick find on a nice walk. Had to wait for the slow moving tourists to go by.
Walked past it, then found it without realising. And then proper found it a little after that
With Bunnings sausage sanga on order with Muggle wife, TaylaPearce3, GeoJess and I headed to GZ for an expected fun find. Mumma-Kel you never disappoint. Great hiding spot. Fav point awarded. Love ya work.

Today we had some business to do in Gosford and of course I always like to include a few geocaches. After a visit to Bunnings, picking up 25 meters of bubble-wrap to insulated my garden plants against the frost, I walked around the building to this cache.
After it was muggle free in all directions I found the cache in plain site. Great camo!

On the way to the CCCCCCC Event in Davistown this afternoon, we decided to leave The Hunter early and find as many caches as we could on the way down. Great hide. Visited Trackables, TFTC.
Came to find this one whilst hubby was at Bunnings. Awesome hide. Lots of muggles walking past so had to pick the moment to grab and sign. Fav point.
Found by Sarah Zach Oliver and Sam. Would not have found without others photos
