Sadly I have to archive all my caches. I am not looking after them and I feel that's unfair for the other players who are trying to play the game.
co-ordinates took me to inside the garden, which was locked anyway but eventually found after reading previous logs. SL. TFTC. 
very sneaky hide in a lovely little park lntn. sl Team nurse thank you for placing this cache, fav from us.
Followed the coords to obviously the wrong spot, and didn't have the previous comments to help.
Found by Pat & Cheryl at 5:21 pm. Thanks for bringing us to this great location and helping us to increase our tally. Really enjoyed this cache TeamNurse TeamNurseHayley TeamNurseMel and this is #1078 so far for us. Took about 10 minutes of searching for us to zero in on it. It was always gunna be in there.
Quick find, thank you again, Team Nurse. Amazing tree and clever concealment!
Find number 7 of 8 attempts, with one muggled, in a short afternoon on foot in Laurieton.
Visiting by yacht, tied to the wharf in front of the United Ex-servicemens Club, waiting for ex TC Winston's swell to dissipate so we can continue north!
(We left Laurieton on 29 Feb and sailed strait through to the Gold Coast Seaway, so this was our last NSW cache .... until next time!!)

This was a second visit for this elusive cache. The name and the hint were most helpful amongst visiting muggles. Tftc
Found on second attempt. Found the hint to help more this time. Nice spot for a cache. TFTC!!!! #685
The only things we could find at the co-ordinates were tomatoes and radishes and they looked as good as a cache find. But we were here for the cache not the beautifully well cared for community garden offerings. Finally it dawned on us the cache name could be relevant! A quick but well hidden find at The Garden Tree. TFTC TeamNurse.
The coords are way out for this one but with the assistance of previous finders MMH&M performing their "hot/cold" GPSr routine, we still found a likely place (making the cache name relevant). Future finders may wish to use GCookie's previous coords, which have moved down the previous logs so I have listed them here for future finders!

Found with wazza9, took a while as GPS was different to GZ, when we arrived it didn't take long to locate. Thanks to TeamNurse.
Found at 2:25 PM GAFF1 in the company of bamboozer, Latanzi and Team Nurse Hayley..
A nice location and a place to enjoy the ice creams that bamboozer bought for us The GPSr certainly didn't want to point where we thought the cache was going to be based on the cache name 
After finding it we were told that the scene has changed quite a bit since it was placed and that it was very exposed and ready to be muggled.
Thanks TeamNurse.

I was looking at one spot for ages, decided to read previous logs, and changed places and found it nearby. Thanks!
In North Haven, catching up with family. We will take any opportunity to grab a cache. Took a good search before previous logs to find co-ords were out, so widened search and made a quick find before heading home for breakfast. Nice little garden and park.
Thanks TeamNurse for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

17/1/16. 8:34 AM. Cache #3394. Streak day #574.
15th of 15 for the morning - Camden Head, Dunbogan & Laurieton.
Time to head back to our tent at Bonny Hills and catch up with the family for breakfast after finding 11 of the Mid North Coast Wander series (#200 to #190 kind of in that order), plus a few extras along the way as well. But time to get one more on the way back.
Spent a while being unlucky at the posted coordinates before reading past logs to see if I was missing something. Ahh, should have used Cookie's coordinates. Now that did make it easier. Hmm, usually would call these a micro (can't fit any trackables inside). Signed and replaced then headed back.
Not sure where I'll cache tomorrow - might continue further down the MNCW series from #189 or look closer to where we're staying - more in Laurieton perhaps. We'll see....

This cache had 15 guardians roosting above when we arrived. Beautiful black cockatoos. They didn't hang around to watch us make the find though.
Check out the community garden while you're here and get those green thumbs itching. TFTC.

On a rainy afternoon we went out to find a few caches. It stopped raining enough for us to enjoy looking at the community garden and for geomum to find this cache.

Thank you Cookie for your coordinates. We were definitely looking in the wrong place. DiMorgan has left us now and we are on our own.
Heading south to find the caches Team Nurse have placed. We are keen to see what they have hidden.
Well we didn't know this community garden was here. All the vege's looked healthy , tomatoes looked ready to pick. As I signed the log Bill wndered over to a local who had wandered by the garden & he explained a lot about what is going on in the garden.
A great location to have a cache.
Thanks for placing this cache TeamNurse

Created this cache with team nurse and team nurse Mel, I can't stand seeing the trad caches on my page I need to see only smilies lol so I have to say found it lol hope you all enjoy our creative minds 
Took a while & had to use previous logs to help. Agree it's about 10-12 metres out. TFTC
Came back to this one after midnight "Incy Wincy", but success, despite having seen Latanzi's log, which seemed to make sense, tho I had searched there anyway. There was a van in the parking area, so I was careful as I had another look. No joy, so off to get a FTF, and 'CITO'. More looking when I came back, thought I still 'had to' clear the 50 km zone, (and with this one finally Found it is cleared out 60km) so didn't want to drive home with the limited time frame on Saturday to get back to it.
Here I was hoping I wasn't waking Latanzi up, but he was already on his way to unfortunately have a go at an FTF (or two). Still blind, but finally had the blighter. GAFF5 !!!!! after the PAF option #2.
The coordinates I took weren't averaged, but will point to a different area than the original ones.
Cache dry, though a lot more of a micro worse luck, as I had a trackable that wouldn't fit here as a result.
Finally getting a DNF off the list.
Good coordinates, log dry (no o-ring), but think I dropped a CSM in the T1½ hunt for it somewhere in the area. TNLN

2155 - 2235 Without success. Any chance someone from the garden has taken it home overnight ?!?
So, still one cache under 50km from home. Don't know if I will be able to get it later. In hindsight I am SURE that I would have checked all possible items of the hint.

This one had me stumped for a little while and I looked straight past it once or twice :/
Found GZ to be about 12m South south west but found with phone so wouldn't update coords. Name certainly helps
Thanks for the hunt and "FTF"
