Little Black Dress West Gosford, New South Wales, Australia
By Mumma-Kel on 11-Aug-15. Waypoint GC619NC

Time for the little black dress to be retired from the wardrobe.

Quick find. Got the photo rather than signing it. TFTC!

Nice quick park and grab TFTC

Nice quick little grab today. Tftc

Found, the log is completely full now though.

Got it. No eight-leggers today, thankfully. Log is getting quite close to full. Thanks!

Nice one.
TFTC

Yayyyy found one! Easy cache completed with another adelaide butt pirate

Easy find. Great smell!

Found it and GeoMum (Moi) found it! Much stealth required!

Easy find, thanks for the hunt

Found with HC000. Beware of spiders......especially ones with red on their back

Decided not to retrieve this one ...... high risk cache this one.....

Quick find in the rain to finish off the night

it took longer to roll up the log (that is full) than find the cache

Good easy find first one after a break.

On another hazy day due to bush fires at Port Macquarie covering Sydney and on our way to an orienteering event at Terrigal stopped for this tiny gem. Would have needed a much larger black dress size! Too small to write our name so took photo instead

Found with Beary_Unicorns, just Miss Unicorn with me today. Tftc

Found

Lucky I brought tiny PhelpTip pen! Fun find with GeoJess, Taylapearce3 and the MadDawg

Out for a walk and wanted at least one cache whilst in Gosford.
Quick find, grab, sign and replace.
Took longer to roll up the log sheet.
Forgot my glasses and the eyes are bleeding from trying to see the log and where to sign. Lol!Great little hide.
TFTC

Staying with friends nearby, I was able to duck out and drop by.

Cheers

After having no success again at the big gun (I’ll get you one day). Let’s say it’s not best to go at 2:30pm on a sunny Sunday with heavy traffic. Didn’t see the light change to red and a kid sitting in a car yelled out “DON’T BREAK IT!” That was my queue to leave it for another day.

After that I took a 2 minute drive over here, quickly found and had cache in hand. There’s room for around 15 more logs before it’s full.

Thanks Mumma Kell

Beaware black spider! Got it TFTC

Surprising easy found having failed at Gosford Park up the road. Not sure why its called LBD. Not that a reason is needed!

Quick n easy find

Settled inn for a quick beer & bite to eat with the family. Plenty of people around but only interested in the one in the little black dress. Gave her my number and went back to my beer. TFTC

Gotcha - At last. No muggles this time.

Found it

Up on the coast for work and thought I’d give it a go!! It’s amazing what you find when you settle down and think about it

Quick stop for a cache and a bite to eat en route to the mega.
Thanks for hiding.

Driving north to the mega me and burgo pulled in here for a quick feed and a cache too
Thanks for hiding

We are staying in the area for a short stay and it was great to go out with Shifter Brains to find this cache. Our other activity was feeding the very hungry ducks nearby. Thanks to Mumma-Kel for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

What a chase. Tftf

??

Decided to come up to Gosford for some finds today, after all it is quicker than getting to a lot of Sydney from where I live near the start of the F3. After calling in at Bunnings to get some spray paint for ammo cans this was the first one for the day. A nice quick find with nobody looking on. Thanks Mumma-Kel. Log was full but managed to fit an RJ on there.

Hmmmmm ... Little Black Dress. Love it.

TFTC mumma-kel

Found after work on a detour to this area. I wanted to get the netball court multi puzzle. So after finding too many before it, practice started and I couldn't do it. So headed up this way. Stopped here. Headed down and around. Luckily it was in one of the first places I looked.
Thanks for the walk and cache!

OCW Seemyshell Big day caching. 19/60 Hit a milestone 250 caches!!! Seemyshell Periscoped the find. TFTC

Found nice and quick Tftc

Having a caching day on the Central Coast from Sydney. My goodness, this hasn't been found for quite some time. We were poking around looking for it (funny cache notes!) when the manager of the nearby flipping centre came out wondering what we were doing. We note that there is a security camera near GZ. We confessed all to her and let her know that others might come but apparently not that often. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Streak day 51 of trying to complete my calendar - Well I have definitely covered some kilometres today. I started the morning in Kilcoy, Qld, before jumping on a plane back to Sydney. I was a little late for work, but made it in the end. I was glad to escape and head up the central coast to catch up with some of my ice hockey friends before I head off on my European adventure. It was getting late by the time I was ready to head home and I still needed to grab my cache for the day. Looking at nearby caches this one caught my eye as it was only a very slight detour from my route home and it also ticked off another date hidden from my list. Whilst this type of cache isn't my favourite I definitely don't hate them. Since it was late by the time I pulled up nearby there weren't any muggles around to see me loitering, though I was a little worried the neighbouring buildings might have cameras. I checked a couple of locations without luck, but it wasn't long before I had CIH. I returned to my car in order to sign the log out of sight, then quickly returned the cache to it's hiding spot. It's been a very long day. Time to head home for a well earned rest. TFTC.

Love a LBD and I also love the cache equivalent!! Thanks Mumma Kel, was able to duck out while the geosons bounced around.

After a rainy Friday, the Saturday morning turned out to be sunny - but windy. Drove around the carpark but didn't find any parking so decided to park on the street. Had to wait for the mugglers to turn arund until this little black dress was found and signed.

I am on my way to an event and I have plenty of time to find a few caches on the way.
A quick find here today.
Thanks for the cache.

This was an easy find. Working around muggles was the hard bit.TFTC

Found with Lance91 and the Aussie Greythounds

After grabbing the cache up on President's hill, stopped in here to find the little black dress that eluded me previously. After parking nearby, wondered over to GZ and made an instant find. Had overthought this one for sure last time.
Tftc MK!

Nice hide! TFTC! : )

Quick find, high muggle area so practiced the stealth skills. TFTC!

Quick and easy find.

Previous logs and the description had me fearing a lengthy find especially in the dark but thankfully in the first place I looked and duties completed within seconds. Off to grab some dinner and head back to the motel.

Looking at the black wall, I was a little dismayed, but after starting at the logical spot, and looking carefully, the cache was soon in hand. TNLNSL TFTC

Lol when I saw the giant black wall in front of me I drew a quick intake of breath, as I feared a really devious hide. And while it was, it was less so than I feared. a quick park and grab. We parked over the reserved spaces nearby to use our car as cover. Log and cache in great condition. Then TFTC

Sneaky, sneaky! TFTC

We're sure we found the spot but there was nothing to be found.

Unable to approach until a quiet moment allowed but that gave some thinking time so approach was direct.
Replaced similarly.

While checking out some high muggle caches late at night with roommate, hand was 10cm away from a redback that roommate pointed out but i was oblivious to. After the close call we decided to comeback another time with gloves.

We visited the nice reptile Park in Somersby which was great. A lot of informative and illustrative keeper talks.
After the visit there we stopped at some nice caches in the region.
Thank you to all the owners

Mrs C has been wanting to go on a caching day for a while, but with work and other commitments we haven't been able to get out. Today was another matter. Even when the heavens opened up raining down its sogginess, we still made the most of the day. In total we found 23 caches.

A quick find after a bite to eat, with the rain keeping people away

TFTC Mumma-Kel

Quick find. TFTC

I should have come here earlier, it's way easier than I thought it would be. The place was packed with people, but they were all inside bouncing up and down. It only took seconds to retrieve the cache then log in the car some distance away, and even less to replace with no time to arouse any suspicions. Thanks to Mumma-Kel for a good suburban hide for a very wet day.

Was driving past on my way to another cache when I saw the area was quieter than usual. A quick stop revealed the cache.
TFTC

Soli Deo Gloria

Had to come to Gosford for a pre-Christmas dash for work and grabbed a few before my 7am appointment. It was pouring rain, but managed to keep it all dry. That also helped keep muggles nearly non existent.
Been a while since I've played any indoor sports here
Thanks for the cache and cheers from Browngang

We were looking for a larger container (which also attracts derisive comments). After searching everywhere a brush of the fingers dislodged the cache.
TFTC.

Find #: 1,207
Companions: None
Muggles: Yep, quite a few
Weather: Spring day
Cache Condition: Good

I am not a huge fan of this container type, despite having deployed one, but will still look for them, especially when they are less than 40m away in a "I wonder if?" search after lunch at a nearby cheap-eats establishment. I decided there were only a few possible places to search, but still managed to miss it on my first pass. A worker from the nearby pub came down to the bins, so I smiled and he nodded back. Once he left I had another look at That Place and there it was. I signed and replaced, then headed back to my car. TFTC

Another find for the day. Now for some lunch.

I swear I looked there the first time I arrived at GZ, honest! Oh well, I got it on the second sweep.

Bend zee knees TFTC

Hello there you are. Nice hide

Out on the road today with mr_roo on a fast paced, kilometre munching cache cleanup, and grab for numbers mostly, as he approaches his 8k and me 2k.
Our destination touched Ourimbah, Gosford, Mooney, Cowan, Peats Ridge, Wollombi, Laguna, Broke, Bulga and Somewhere near Putty and Yengo, ending with a touch of Cessnock, and Chrlestown at the Asylum.

Arrived at GZ only to be stared down by a worker... but they disappeared immediately, then as I searched the 'manager' arrived so we gave a quick geo lesson and all was cool, should be no problems here for next cachers.
Tricky little hide, almost missed it.

[green] - Found It on Saturday ... at 8:59 AM ...
TFTC! - [blue]Mumma-Kel[/blue] ... [/green]
Total Finds now ... 1838
[blue] This log was posted with CacheSense v4.30, available on Android and BlackBerry ![/blue]

As we were very close by and didn't realise how close this one was we couldn't leave without attempting it. Being mindful of the muggle factor we tried to blend in while searching. In the end the cache was dislodged and retrieved from the ground. We moved away to sign the log then replaced where found. This is our second cache for the day, the first one was in Christchurch New Zealand.
TFTC

Tried my best not to look too suspicious whilst searching around here and luckily it revealed itself quite quickly!
TFTC

My little black dress. When I saw this one. I thought maybe I had to wear one or something. Scary site that would be I can tell you. Anyway made my way to gz and made a quick find today. TFTC

We found the cache on the asphalt. We placed it where we think it came from.
Found with sesblocker.

29/09/15. 9:47 AM. Cache #3058. Streak day #464.
11th of 12 this morning - Mooney Mooney Creek, Calga, Somerby & West Gosford.

Took a roundabout way to get here, past the race course, from "Silence Is Golden". The car park was reasonably muggle-free, so I could search in peace. Plenty of noise coming from the nearby trampoline centre.

Tried a few places before finally making the find - sneaky! Now, one more cache or two? I had solved "Before Christmas" (last night), but I decided to leave that and head for "President's Hill" instead. TFTC.
} : )

On reading the cache description we had a fair idea of what we were looking for. We pulled up and got a good parking spot which provided cover and as it was early there was not too many muggles about. Certainly a few place to look and one we did not want to look in. Some careful spotting and the hide was soon found, We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

I tried to do this one at 6:30 in the morning a couple of days after it was published, only to be foiled by a guy directly above hosing down the beer garden floor and by 2 security guards standing by their cars having a natter in an otherwise empty car park. Normally, I'm not too concerned by muggles but in the circumstances, I decided this one would be best left for another day.

That day ended up being today, when I was driving through West Gossie with time on my hands. There were plenty of cars in the car park but no security guards or any other muggles anywhere nearby, except for a group in the beer garden above ... but they looked like they were so busy drinking and talking that I could have done a streak through the carpark without them noticing! With little to worry about while searching, the find itself was a straightforward one ... there are only so many places where a little black dress could be hidden away, and I came across it in the second place I checked.

Thanks for the hide Mumma-Kel ... I'm not a fan of nanos but this one gave me a bit of a smile as well as a smiley, so all is excused.

After lunch at a nearby place ,you can't beat a $5 stunner deal.We went looking for this cache.lucky the workers having lunch overlooking nearby left,so then we had a clear area with no one around to search and spotted the cache .I very carefully took it back to the car to sign and replaced it no problem .Thanks for the cache Mumma-Kel tnln sl

A tricky little critter,we were lucky to find it. TFTC

Great camo, thanks for your cache

Easy find once we were able to park near it.

I was lucky enough to have the most apt parking for this one on a busy Sunday at lunchtime. Used my car as a distraction by putting down the tailgate and sitting there as we gave the area a once over. People heading into Flipout were not concerned with us at all and soon enough the cache was in hand. Hehe, I had a giggle to myself as I thought of the cache title and was pleased to note that I have never worn a LBD as short and skimpy as this cache - I don't think it is possible to get any shorter/smaller!! LOLOL. Thanks for the fun Mumma-Kel.

Came here with my son and a mate of his, a bit wary of hanging out too long. There was a huge basket nearby, and my son's mate (who is new to geocaching) said - "There's the cache!" Uh uh, way too big and obvious. In fact even I was looking for something bigger until getting a clue from the logs. Soon found it and signed log.

I note that the nearby indoor soccer / indoor cricket place is now trampolines. Looks like fun? TFTC Kel!

Found 9:56 am with the Geowife sort of keeping me company. This morning we had to drop our vehicles off at the local dealership for some enhancements. We then came over to Hungry Jacks for a feed and I was idly looking at geocaches, the puzzle in Adcock park in particular, when I saw this one was right nearby. So a little later I convinced the geo wife to walk over after finishing brekky. I had my initial search looking in tricky places, then moved around a bit to see if it maybe hidden slightly different spot. Then trusted the GPS and Google and had another look and feel. Aah huh got you! What I can say is coords appear to be spot on. I signed the log and then returned back to the Geowife who was standing around in the middle of the lane playing on her phone. Now off to that puzzle cache.
Thanks for the cache.

6738 Cache Found

Headed out to Wymong this morning foe non Geo Cache related business so has not to waste the trip decided to try for a couple of Mumma-Kel caches on the way home. Pulled up in the carpark at GZ had the place to myself. What a sneaky Little Black Hide. TFTC

Thanks for the great cache and adventure Mumma-Kel

Showing our beautiful Central Coast to a visitor, this cache was quickly found by her! Lots of fun inside!
Thanks Mumma-Kel

Published

As usual another published notification when Mrs Shifter still had about an hour of work left. A quick call to Mr Shifter and he was off on the FTF hunt.
Mr Shifter located the other nearby cache but was unable to spot this one, especially without looking to suspicious. So an SMS was sent to Mrs Shifter and as it was knock off time the agreement was to meet there and both would look. Miss Shifter came along to look also as she had just finished school for the day.
We all met up, looked at the general area and discussed options, GPS was passed to Mrs Shifter who walked up and located the cache immediately. Just lucky, or a fresh pair of eyes?
Thanks for another hide Mumma-Kel. Definitely good to have another *FTF* at the start of our 11th geocaching year, and even better to have the whole team present.

I had to go and fix my non logging from the other day so i headed out and decided to stop here before going to the park. Found cache signed lig.TFTC.. 2nd tf. My old stomping ground before building changed.
