Riverside: Mastered West Gosford, New South Wales, Australia
By Mumma-Kel on 25-Oct-15. Waypoint GC65TM0

Masters and I have both been long gone from this location - it's time the cache went the same way.

Took a couple goes over to find, had a feeling I knew where it was, but my hand just missed it first time round. Thanks!

Yeet

Sneaky little hide indeed. Time to PAF oh nope we have it!!! Tftc

Sneaky hide, but surprinsgly didn't take too long TFTC

It took far too long to find but find it we did.

Too good for us

Took way too long but found it

Took a bit to find! VERRRYY TINY

Finally located. Second attempt. Tough one.

Could not find after reading logs and looking at pics.

Sneaky hide for the little capsule

Found. Thankyou.

Found. Micro sized alright

Couldn't find it at first, went and found dirty bird then came back. Was on the right track the whole time just had to expand the search a little

Late night find with FLVCKO

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 5th of 9 finds for the day, and the 26th 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.

Well this one took us a bit longer to find than the last one, checking high & low before eventually spotting the well hidden cache. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Mumma-Kel.

Find #3773

TFTC. A nice quick find. Glad I didn’t strain my neck. From The Hunter Valley. My daughter is doing uni exams today at the RSL.

Wasn’t able to spot it as yet...up, down, below or above. Will be back.

Today we had some business to do in Gosford and of course I always like to include a few geocaches. While the misses visited the McGrath office I roamed around the parking lot for two nearby caches.
Nearby tradies were wondering what I was doing and at one point one of them actually asked. I gave a brief explanation which he summarized as "a kind of Pokemon game".
I agreed to that and after logging I quickly moved away.

Back again after having luck today at other caches. Turns out I just didn’t extend the search area far enough.

Thanks Kel!

Tricky thanks for past clues.

Brilliant find by Taylapearce3 after we struggled for 15 min. Great hide Mumma-Kel !

The Force wasn’t with us searching for the cache with GeoJess. Spent about 15 min until the ‘boss’ ordered us home. We will be back !

Headed up to the Central Coast for some caching today. Started a little later than I’d have liked, which restricted the number of finds. But I did deliberately target the three caches on Blackwell Mount to start with - that initial walk up is a tad steep.

Then grabbed a few others before heading home.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
No luck for me here, and I thought I’d been thorough. Obviously not thorough enough.

Decided to head home after 20 minutes of nothing.
Disappointing end to the day.

Got it TFTC

tftc - On my way to Woy Woy for two days.Had to stop and get a few on the way

Sneeky little bugger! Nice cashe

Searched for about 10 minutes and couldn’t find it even after looking at the photos

Yep, I've mastered this type of cache hide.
It did help that I was here so early this morning there was only me and sparrows in the carpark so I didn't need to worry about prying muggles eyes or having to be stealthy.
I exhausted all the possible spots I could easily reach and then went for something a little more devious.
Found!
A great start to the day's visit to the Central Coast.

Found with geofriends @amyfk.

Out caching with Sensible Shoes and Little Shoes. A tricky find on the way to Nan and Pop's. TFTC

OCW Shoes Junior and Sensible Shoes. We found this after lots and lots of looking, but eventually Dad grabbed it. TFTC

Oh that Grand ol' Duke with all his marching!! Found it eventually TFTC

Doing some work up here - finished early and thought I would do some geocaching TFTC

Cool quick find. Cute hint- had us singing the tune for awhile.

Found with #echo47 back in Dec 2017

Found on a lazy Sunday afternoon with TsyeymTaronyu while the geomen go paddling. Definitely took some reconnaissance from the ground floor to assist the seeker but found after persisting.

Found on a lazy Sunday afternoon with TheReshimehs while the geomen go paddling.

Cache check done and a new log sheet has been placed inside it.
All good now.

On my way to the OZGeomuster Mega Event, stopped in and made a quick find.
Cheers

Up down up down under over finally spotted it! Log full so couldn’t sign. TFTH

The Grand Old Duke of York turned into a king today but he was still willing to give up his treasure to the lowly serfs. Tftc Mumma-Kel.

Found with Whypie. Good hiding spot. The log was full so we took a picture.

GeoDog 1 needed an emergency trip to the vet, so we had a half hour to kill while she had a procedure done. Quick find as no one around - due to the closure of Masters. Wasn't a bad store... got a great air conditioner there a few years ago. Log was full, so took photo in lieu of signature. Found with Puglumps. TFTC

Found it quite quickly, which was good in today's heat.
Great hide.
Signed the log, which is ful.
TFTC!

Needs a new log roll.
Cheers

Absolutely no one around as Masters is shut down since going broke. Had the entire area to myself and do you think I could find it? No! Went up and down like the grand old Duke of York. Sat down to try PAF and while waiting reply felt to my right and had it immediately! Unbelievable! Why does that always happen? So it's a smiley and another day in the streak continuing. TFTC

??

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.

A fun find for a Sunday. TFTC

Spending the night in Gosford and out for a walk to stretch the legs. Came by this one late in the day and no one around so had a little look and soon had it in hand got my name on the log and back to the hotel to find dinner.

TFTC

Very quiet today ... lucky for us.

TFTC mumma-kel

On a trip to a car paint shop we needed a find to keep the streak alive......this one was the closest.

Not many muggles around today so we wee able to do a methodical search

Tftc

Found with BillHill531, Mighty Minions and my eldest. We had all been wanting to do the Rumbalara caches for a while, but today we all had the same day off and finally made it here. A great day was had a few select caches were found.
The Minions still wanted a traditional for my streak challenge, so we headed over here. I studied the photos on the way and found the cache within seconds of being at GZ. A great way to end the day.
Thanks for the flukey cache!

Found with Mighty Minions, TOMBI! and grandson. We finally managed to have the same day off, to target some difficult multi's down this way. On out way home from our previous sucseses, we stopped here for a quick find. TFTC Mumma-Kel

# 958

out for a day caching with TOMBI! and son and BillHill531 today, we had just completed a couple of multis and I realised , I had done a multi yesterday so I needed something different today for a challenge I am doing . We looked on the map and I saw this one, I had attempted it way back when I was renovating my bathroom and had major time restraints so didn't give it a dnf because I had only given it less than a half look, today TOMBI! was onto the find straightaway which amazed me how quickly he made the find. Thanks for the cache Mumma-Kel tnln sl

Cool

Again no find will try again

Was in the carpark already topping up the supplies of chang at the nearby dan mcmurphys so why not grab a couple of easy drive by trads while i am at it to up my numbers? I havent cached a lot lately so why not?
This one was pretty uneventful. Just needed to work the process of elimination... the only downside today was i thought i found the cache before i actually had... turned out to be someones piss jug thrown out of sight out of mind (I'm looking at you ricky from trailer park boys... though that was sunnyvale, not riverside.)
The actual cache is in fine condition.. a little higher and drier than the yucky decoy. The log has room for another half dozen or so trailnames.
Thanks to the cache owner for this conveniently placed cache.

Found early Sunday morning Tftc

Ahh took a while clue still makes no sense you cant see it have to feel for it

AMTG of the OUTLAW CACHERS strikes again. On an awesome vacation with IXF and got to see some beautiful places in your country. The folks were so friendly and the country was unbelievable. IXF took care of me and allowed me to have a great adventure.

Super thank for the cache!

Another quick stop on our way North. Once I decided to go all in, I was able to spot the tricky little cache.

Day 1: Sydney to Newcastle

My goal for the day was to reach Coffs Harbour but a "slow-down" at Lane Cove took away about 2 hours off my itinerary that I never quite gained back. Fortunately, the delay actually worked in our favor insofar as the nightly stops we made.
___________________________________________________________________________
Adventure Log:
What better way to spend vacation than traveling as far away from home as possible[?] When AMTG asked me a few months ago where I would like to go, Australia was the most auspicious target. While Perth would have put me 11000mi from home, Sydney was certainly sufficient. [8].

We only had a limited number of days, so I built a route allowing us to visit Brisbane, Canberra, and Sydney within our 6 days. This, of course, meant quite a bit of driving [8)]. This whirlwind tour afforded us many wonderful vistas along the coast, in the 'mountains', and through the countryside.

We couldn't have asked for better weather and were only hindered by rain on our last evening in Sydney. And by hindered, I mean that the rain and traffic made me late for (miss) my own event at the Opera Hall [xx(].

In our 6 days, we covered over 2400km [^] and managed to find 76 caches, comprised of 60 Traditional, 8 Earthcache, 4 Virtual, 1 Multi, 1, Mystery, 1 Letterbox, and 1 Event.

Nice cache, found it with the missus, thanks for the duke of york tftf

Spiders kept us fumbling

In the area attending a wedding with JJCC and with some spare time in the morning we grabbed a few caches. With the cache Riverside: Dirty Bird being overrun with the morning feeding frenzy we bugged out of there and walked up to the tool shop. A good muggle free search pursued but nothing was found. After consulting the previous logs we took the blind faith approach and it was JJCC who made the find...one could say she was mildly elevated with the find. With cache in hand we both signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition.

The following TBs came through for the mileage: Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust) and Vanlith The Youngling.

Log to follow

Good but a lot of muggles

Didn't find it, and also did not understand the hint at all.

Had a good look around but no luck here for us today.
Hubby did pick up a good bargain at Masters while we were here.
Thanks

I am on my way to an event and I have plenty of time to find a few caches on the way.
A bit of a search before finding this one.
Thanks for the cache.

A quick find today while we explore the area in search of a few stats needed a sausage sandwich to keep the adventure going so was glad to get a bonus cache with lunch clever hide and all in great condition. TNLN TFTC

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.

Nice hide! TFTC! : )

The hint helped a lot with this. Was a quick find with squirrels0291. TFTC!

A "little" tricky, but very cool!

Took our time & a hint from onyatrail

Found it after a lot of searching. In an obvious but hard to reach place. TFTC

Oh...My...God! This one had me pulling out my hair. Halfway up. Neither up nor down. First thought was the hill. Then more obvious structure appeared. Crawled all over the thing for 45 minutes!!! I was certain the thing was here and it was literally blind luck that i felt the cache while probing around. Read the past finds, pay attention to the clues in the past finds and think carefully about where it is most likely hidden. When you think youre on the right track you probably are just keep looking. Its tiny and you cant see it you have to feel for it.

Great clue, it deserves a favourite from me and TFTC

This was an enjoyable find. I really loved and appreciated the hint. TFTC

Can’t get the song out of my head! Luckily I had a tool on hand that made the find much easier in the fading light. Good spot and by this time of day, muggle free.

ah found it after disturbing a rather interestingly colored frog, hope he wasn't poisonous as i poked him pretty hard while searching for the cache.
thanks for another quick one that i could do from my work place.

Stopped by the local hardware store to grab an item or two and a quick check of the hep-map revealed this little guy.
Had to Google the Duke Dude for a refresh of the memory before making the find.
SL TFTC

Stopping close by for some hardware we thought we should do this one. Plenty of people about so had to be quick. After a little Google we soon had CIH.
SL TFTC

Found with dlturner. Second attempt and got it.

Second time here. How did we miss it.

After singing the song to myself, I found the cache first place I checked.

A lot easier with the hit TFTC!!

Another very quick find while out running some errands.
Stand back and think about this one before searching too long, when thought about, the possible hiding spots narrow considerably.
Thanks Mumma-Kel

TFTC! Very clever hint to go along with the hide!

Tftc

Gotcha - After a lot of marching we eventually got it.

cheeky little find, one day somethings going to bite my fingers as they feel around in hidey spots! found late at night with roommate. tftc kel, was nice to find this one after failing on the black dress cache.

Had been by a few times and despite marching up and down and feeling I was close- oh so much so as it turned out, took till this day to pin the tail on the Duck.
