I have chosen to archive this cache as it keeps getting stolen/removed.

Thanks everyone who took the time to find this cache.

Hi all,

Have temporarily disable this cache due to the recent DNF's.

Will investigate this week and hopefully will be back online soon.

Thanks

Out on a caching trip today with my son and BillHill531 and this was our seventh stop. We had a very good look around, down and under, but no cache could be found. Would appreciate CO checking on this cache.

DNF for me... Pls check up.. thank

Couldn't find it anywhere coordinates kept taking me all over the place.

TFTC

Hint has been changed. Now is adjusted for new coordinates.

Quickly found while in the area for fish, hopefully I have as much luck doing that.. Tftc

Found with Mum and dad (Gazkersh and littlemissleft)

Found this one with lots of help from lots of people while at the havoc geocaching Xmas event

While attending the HAVOC event nearby we decided to look for this one. Arrived at GZ to find about 10 other seekers, people everywhere. Mr C scanned the area then went in for a closer look and was able to grab, sign and replace without anyone noticing and then let the others in on it. Thanks vahmoose

TFTC - this one had a group of 10+ stumped for quite a while.....

Attempted this one with DOC WHO acouple of weeks ago but couldnt find it. Back today for a HAVOC event and thought Id try it again. Arrived at gz with ratchet69 and I fall over in the long grass. I get up and say g'day to geokrew who is there searching. We all start searching and geokrew spots it neAR where i am. TFTC

Found with a group of people while at the havoc Christmas party

after the great havoc Christmas event , A group of us set of to find this cache and boy we needed lots of eyes . I think I looked at the spot the cache was eventually found at least 4 times. Thanks for the cache Vahmoose tnln sl

Found at 1:02 PM GAFF4 in the company of Marcus Vitruvius.
While at the HAVOC xmas event we sauntered over to look for this cache and found about 5 other teams crawling all over the structure. That is a bad sign when there are a lot of other cachers looking, because it means that you don't look as hard in laces assuming that others have
After a lot of going up and down the cache was finally located by colleda who didn't give anything away about where it was hidden - so we all had to re-find it [B)]
Thanks vahmoose.
Feedback: The hint is basically redundant. It doesn't help the cacher find the cache and it only makes sense once the cache is found.

good cash we got it when at a geo event TFTC

Found with littlemissleft and Tilly and a variety of other caching teams

After a look here and a look there and more looking here and more looking there We finally found the cache.

Thanks for the cache

spent a lot of time looking in the wrong spots for this one with a large group of geocachers but at last it was found

Reperio at 1235.

Not long after arriving at the HAVOC Christmas event today, I wandered over to GZ with pprass to find a few cachers already busy. With my arm in a sling, I couldn't offer much assistance with searching, but with plenty of eyes on the job, the cache was eventually found. A lovely spot here by the water.

Gratias vahmoose.

Found this one today with an array of cachers after the HAVOC Christmas Event. A lot of scrambling was involved but cache was eventually found and log signed by all. Thanks for bringing us here and for placing the cache vahmoose

Sam found this one with a contingency of geocachers after the HAVOC Xmas Party! Well done everyone! It certainly is another top spot on Lake Macquarie! SLTNLN TFTC vahmoose

Found while at the HAVOC Xmas party, took ages! TFTC

Went looking for this one when we arrived to attend the HAVOC Christmas party. Spent a few mins looking before I was met by MrRoo and Ratchet69. Moving closer to them to say gidday, I was in the perfect spot to spy the cache. As some previous finder noted, the hint does not help with the finding, but it makes sense when found. TFTC vahmoose.

While at a nearby Christmas Event a group of us went to find this one. We searched and searched! Eventually our efforts paid off. TFTC it was well hidden

I was attending the nearby event, and figuring While I was in the area it would seem amiss if I didn't wander further along the reserve, get a better vantage point of the view around here, and grab a little bonus smiley while I was at it.... But such is the way with these kinds of things, as GeoJorjy and Inreached GZ to find a bunch of people already searching, and by the time we had safely descended to where we might be in a helpful position the cache was being held aloft as found.
Thanks for the smiley, and for bringing me up the hill to where I probably wouldn't have ventured if not for the cache.

While in the area attending the event we headed over to this cache in a group, we were searching high and low and wondering what the hint had to do with the cache. It was not until finding the cache it made sense. Credit goes to colleda for finding this one. Tftc

Very windy

Had a small fall but no harm done. With bob_asser and megron62. TFTC. SL

TFTC. Found it with deheaps. Thanks

Found on a glorious morning at low tide - and so close to home! TFTC vamoose
And this gives me my 2015 average of '1 per day' ... an even happier player

We were showing my visiting sister some of the better parts of the central coast and geocaching as well, so this was a good option. The rain and clouds were doing their best to dissuade us, but we were soon at a GZ that moved around at will. I changed my level and spied a container that could be seen from some distance away, so noticeable that at first I thought it could not be the cache. After logging nearby I returned the cache as found, still not really hidden that well, and was glad to leave as something very dead was not making the place too pleasant. Thanks for a good hide in a top location, a great place to bring the family on a sunny day.

Coordinates changed from:
S 33° 05.412 E 151° 32.979

Coordinates changed to:
S 33° 05.407 E 151° 32.972

Distance from original: 46.9 feet or 14.3 meters.
Cache now in more secure location close to original location. Now you may not have to get your feet wet!

Have created a new container which is the same as old one. Have moved the cache a few metres to a more secure location. Is now available 24/7. Happy caching!

Went and checked the cache to find that it was missing. Will work on making a new container and will put it somewhere more secure. Will post new coords and new hint in a few days time.

Sorry for anyone inconvenienced!

Picked up mr_roo for another caching roadtrip into the Newcastle area today, hoping to checkout several of the COTY2015 Nominations once again.

Out firsr cache attempt for the day ughh

I liked the container. Might have caught Ebola from it though

Late log - will sort dates out later
Nice spot here for sure - but how long it will last?
Sort of precariously sited!

Team effort with Rharzwor and friends. After much climbing around and wetting of feet I came up with the cache. This is a really nice place. SL. TFTC.

Found with Spartman, Cam and Cass. This one took us way too long because we stupidly went at high tide! Shoes wet, Spartman soon found it and a friendly sea slug! Great container, TFTC

High tide be damned. Shoes off and in I went. I was barefoot but don't recommend this as there is broken bottles in the water. Be careful folks. What a beautiful area this is. A shame about the level of rubbish here. TNLN TFTC

Awesome view from GZ TFTC

As soon as we saw the new cache I rushed on down after a quick check of the tides. What a cute cache and a beautiful view! T4TC.
