Defiantly needs a checkup, nothing in the vicinity of ground zero that’s holds the cache, believe me I checked everything 3 times!
Spent a few minutes looking. The place was getting a paint job while we were there. Then noticed it hadn't been found since 2018 and didn't push it.
Tried every bolt and screw on the external of the building. Couldn't find it. I'm going to be rotten if it was just that I didn't look hard enough
Find No.3338
Found with sesblocker. We needed a cache today for our calendar and this cache did tge job. It had been raining for most of the day and it stopped raining when we arrived at GZ. We love a bit of good engineering so it gets a favourite from us.

Log may be technically full, but lots of faded spots of both sides for many months worth of finds. TFTC
Tftc. Tennis game about to start, but the players were too busy with greetings to pay us any attention. Great hide.
Off we go for another geomission! fitzy_1965, AngelG27 and I were off in the geomover to descend on the Illawarra region to knock off the Helensburgh puzzle series and whatever others we could nab along the way. Sunny spring weather and lots of laughs made for a fun weekend of caching!
A bit of a reach and cache was in hand for the signing-just! The log sheet is very difficult to write on!
Thanks for the hide, spacetimetravel

14594. Found during Day 2 of a great weekend caching down in the Helensburgh / Wollongong region with specimenX and AngelG27.
A long planned weekend was finally here. Yesterday we finished off the Scouts and Helensburgh puzzle series plus a bunch of other caches. Today we generally moved south during the day grabbing some quality caches along the way. This was the next find for the day. Quick find at GZ as I spotted it straight away. Nice. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and we were on our way to the next one.
Thanks to all the CO's for their caches - very much appreciated !!

Cache 2918 on 3/9/17
Fitzy_1965, SpecimenX and I headed out on a long planned geomission to Helensburgh and Wollongong to grab a stack of solved puzzles and as-yet-uncollected traditionals. We headed up the highway from the ACT to Appin, then down the hill to Helensburgh and then made our way south. We have around 160 caches on the list, but managed to grab 90 odd yesterday. Looking to grab stacks of trads today on our second day of the mission. Unless otherwise indicated, caches were found quickly and in good order. Thanks to my geo partners in crime for a fun weekend
Log hard to sign - hate that type of paper!
Thanks spacetimetravel for the cache!

I couldn't write on your lovely waterproof paper. It was like plastic. I love the Adventure Time memorial though. Tftc
Today I made the area of northern Wollongong unsafe with my geocaching activities. 23 finds, six GCA ones, two puzzles. A good time was had by all! Errr me.
Not where I expected, a little bit more to the back. TFTC.

I had a good look around grabbing and twisting this and that but couldnt find it til I read the hint then found it no probs.It hides well there,

Needing a cache for the day to keep my streak alive, this was the selected one... nice little guy. It's unfortunate I couldn't get the log out, photo as proof if required.. future finders will NEED tweezers

Found while out adventuring on my way home.
Now this is about my 300th cache (and by all accounts 400th search mission) and never, to my knowledge have I been recognised, questioned or even second glanced at while out hunting.
But today, well today was the day. And who was it pray tell you ask...well, my parents were the ones to bring me down. Now they don't live here mind you, or participate in caching (yet), but they have just come into town after driving FROM BUNBURY IN WA, and they happened to be driving through western Wollongong while I was signing the log.
Several extended car horn bleeps and some pointing and waving had me scampering back onto my bike and out of GZ quicker than if an approaching police-muggle was onto me.
The legals were done so I'm claiming the W on this one.
Tftc ??
auzzy_mate
P.S. The log is 100% full.
P.P.S. I turned the wrong screw and...well...I am sure the next visitor will find out. Mwah ha ha hah!

A day-trip on a beautiful earlier summer day to go caching in The Gong (and a few en route). Tally for the day 14.

This is the 8th find of the day.
When I arrived at GZ, I saw the cache lying on the ground.
After signing log, placed it to where I thought it might have come from. Will message CO to check that I've 'guessed' the correct position.
Future finders: bring a pencil!!! The log paper is waterproof and very hard to write on with pens.

Our first for today. Out and about with Happy Uke today. We had business to do in Wollongong so we decided to grab a couple of caches while there.
Thanks!
Finalf29 and I came down to Wollongong to help move furniture into my brother's house...YEY! we got the couch to fit up the stairs. Anyway grabbed four caches on the way home...which cheered me up no end
This was the second. Had tried to do this one a couple of times before but, with way too many muggles around at the time, had to abort. There were a couple there today but Finalf29 decided we could have a go. Sneaky little cache, but have seen this type before...so quick find and the muggles none the wiser. Thanks.

We went to this one after doing A Little Bit Screwy 2 previously so knew what we were looking for. Didn't take us long to spot it. Again, we didn't sign log as we didn't have some tweezers. TFTC!
I walked past the cache about three times before I finally spotted it, well done!
Great hint, made for an easy find, especially if you have seen this type before. TFTC
Quick find but was unable to write on the log! Got questioned by some muggle tennis playes! TFTC
Until this log I didn't know the 'hint' section existed haha!if I had have looked at it, it would've taken me about 40 mins less to find! Love this cache style
Find Number 855, found at 13:32
Another trip to the specialist in Wollongong meant another chance to pick up a few caches on the way.
I found the cache quite quickly, but had a lot of trouble extracting the log since I didn't have an extraction tool with me. Then I discovered that the log was made of that waterproof paper that biros just won't write on. I did engrave my initials into the log but no ink came out. I e-mailed the CO to explain the situation and have been advised that my log will be accepted.
We (sort of) signed the log and replaced the cache as found.
Thanks spacetimetravel for the cache.

Needed a leap day cache! This one wasnt too far out of the way. After a climb i realised i was about 5 metres away from the actual gz (cloud cover didnt hrlp today). Dont climb the fence, you just look sus!
TFTC after reading it was not easy for the vertically challenged, I took a thick stick which served it's purpose and then a small stick to extract the logs, nature has been kind to me today, seeing as though I'm without my tools on an impromptu caching expedition! A big jump got it back into place
When logging my finds from yesterday, I realised that I missed looking for this one. A return to the area today made for a quick find. Though I could have used the help of my little bro to reach it.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Glad I had Princess Izzy as I lifted her up to get it. Great hide and in good condition. TFTC!
Found while in the area finding cache's to try to achieve Wazza9's goals he had set himself for 2015. Took a little while to locate. Thanks to spacetimetravel.
TFTC,
Took a long while.
Today is all about numbers. I am trying to achieve 3 per day for 2015.
Visited trackables.

Find 27. Easy find after looking for its sibling cache yesterday (No. 2) which had us stumped for some time. You will need tweezers and a pen ☺ TFTC
Went out this afternoon to knock over a few of the local caches. The tennis ladies were still having a chat even though it was 5:30pm on Sunday afternoon! Anyway, they didn't bother me and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC!
My friends may think my current obsession to tick days off the calendar a little screwy but wasn’t going to let even a fellow cacher’s wedding stop me today. Ever since the invite arrived and I found it was to be a mid-morning ceremony that would take up the rest of my day, I had been on the lookout for something close and quick and a few new ones by this CO seemed worthy of consideration. After recon’ing the area a few weeks ago, I kept a watch for signs of dnfs or muggles but finally the day arrived and mission was accomplished at 7am to be back home within 15min and still have plenty of time to get ready. Happy Wedding Day TripHazard!
On the way down south to do some work and had planned in advance a couple of caches in this area. Locked in on this one and after a couple of minutes looking soon had the CIH. Signed the log and had to use my log rolling tool to reinstate the log. More success than I had with #2. Visited a TB, geocoin and a tag. TFTC spacetimetravel.
Heading out to do some SES training at Wisemans Park I stopped by here on my way and soon had this one in hand.
Thanks
Thanks
courts where busy with about 30 kids playing tennis today.
I still managed a quick find with out them seeing me.

There must be a ladies day here today, courts are busy, quick find as I was doing my thing. TFTC
Found this one quite easily.
I guess this is what 'A little bit screwy 2' should be like. Hmm, cheers!
