I was down in the area looking for some caches with particular D/T values for a challenge I'm working on and this one fit the bill. A nice walk down from the road with some good water views along the way, although the track was fairly wet underfoot and more of a wade in places. A quick find once at GZ, with the cache in excellent condition and its contents nice and dry.Many thanks for this enjoyable hide.
Today was the hunt for my 16 loop and 8000 find. What a special holiday in Sydney. So I was on the hunt by myself.
That happens when geo buddies headed to Victoria the other day.
So a bit of drive to start the day to grab further cache on my list. It was nice walk to this cache. Log signed then the rain came. then of to the next cache.
Thank you Blackwoollydog for placing and maintaining this cache for my enjoyment.

Gotcha- found it- thank you for the great walk around Middle Harbour- in non-rainy weather about 20 degs in winter- for us northern europeans- a delight!.

Out for a walk today in Harold Reid Reserve with JimmyDave, don't think I have walked this neck of the woods even though it is fairly close to me. Nice easy walk with some nice views. Found fairly easily after a quick search at GZ.
Why do muggles always sit on a rock near GZ. Like there are a thousand others to choose from. Quite find after the muggles moved.
I was in the area for a chiro appointment and decided to take advantage of walking nearby. This area was not what I was expecting! What a lovely spot to walk! This made me so happy, thank you for bringing me here!
I looked and didn’t spot it from the angle I was on, I moved to the other side and no luck, looked around and then decided to use my torch and there it was where I looked originally! Could not reach it for the life of my so used a nearby stick, I left it there for the next person to use

This was just way too easy for Geo-Bunny to find, (even if Geo-Bunny had 'mixo' he still would have found it) way too easy of a find, with the CIH within minutes of nearing GZ. SL replaced log ziploc bag as it was shot. TFTH TFTC TNLN Replaced as found ready for the next geo-adventurers. Hopefully the next geo-adventurer will be a little more challenged.
Thanks goes to the CO for bringing us to this location. Cheers.

Given the difficulty and size of this cache, I'm going to go ahead and say this cache isn't currently here, but please feel free to come and check it out and certify me blind.
Regardless of not finding the cache it was a lovely spot to sit

Well. Maybe it's time to get glasses.
After doing some of the other caches in the trail and heading back towards the car, I really wanted to stop and search for this cache again because it fills in a spot on my DT Matrix
I approached from a different view and found it out of its hiding spot

Found after work this afternoon.
After parking outside the reserve i headed down the trail to the cache.
Its a beautiful spot and i enjoyed the walk there unfortunately as i reached the GZ it started to rain.
The cache was located fairly quickly and after signing duties i headed back.
By the time i reached the entrance i was more than a little damp. It was worth it.
Thanks.

Late log, sorry.
I came here to do this mini power trail on a lovely day with my family. I enjoyed the walk and the caches. All but 1 attempted caches were found, so it was quite a successful day.
Since I found the caches a few weeks back, I can't precisely remember which was which, but all were relatively quick and easy.
This one had a nice view over the water, and after a short search was brought up. The contents are nice and dry.

Thanks to Hugo and Tina for finding us a great place to have a snack. Another fantastic cache. This is just a fantastic walk and awesome effort by the hiders.
Found your cache today on a walk to get all 9. Managed to get 8 which ain’t too bad! A few trees were down after the recent rains, but otherwise all was good. Loved the view from this spot, wonderfully peaceful on a Wednesday. Tftc!
Find #: 2,299
Companions: None
Muggles: Some kids swimming nearby, but not close enough to notice me
Weather: Hot summer afternoon
Cache condition: Good
I decided to go for a "practice hike" in preparation for an upcoming hike in NZ, and this area was a pleasant area to explore. This was my tenth stop (ninth find). I followed the side path and quickly determined the likely hiding spot (it is pretty exposed, but presumably not from a place where muggles are likely to be). TNLNSL TFTC

A quick and easy find.

Today i went caching with pixel101 on a quest to find the 10 caches in this area. This was our seventh one of the day. TFTC
Found in great shape
This trip was planned some time ago but we kept running into issues. So when a business trip to Asia came up I decided that an unconventional route and an extended stop-over were in order as opposed to waiting for the stars to align on a pleasure trip.
Our 2020 goals are to find all the year 2000 caches and complete 6 original FIZZY loops (loops with caches placed before April 6, 2007). No one in the world has done the latter. Only one person is at 4 loops, LISDOWNEY from Ontario, Canada. So, of course, Lane Cove and Geocache - Relocated topped the list this trip and one other south of Canberra that we found, that wasn't easy.
I had been to Australia once before for a honeymoon years ago but promptly headed off to the Hayman Islands to scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef, so I didn't get to take in many of the touristy things Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, and Wollongong has to offer. This trip we fixed that anemia. The aforementioned cities played as our hub cities each night and the launching pad for the next day. Sydney was the only city that there were two overnight stays. Sadly the first day after landing we had found all the target caches that we had for Sydney, so I fixed that staying longer in Wollongong and did some epic hikes.
I would also be remiss if I didn't mention that while in Sydney a sad record-breaking day occurred. When driving out of the city toward the outback a radio announcement said that that day was the worst day in Sydney's history for the smoke covering the area from all the wildfires. It was bad, I could really feel it in my lungs. But, just an hour west and it was a beautiful nice day.
Things learned about Australia while on this trip (I know COs in Australia don't care about this stuff but we have students that like to read our logs here in the States and some creepers that obsess about us - no joke we had an event while there and showed a group of Sydney cachers our trolls) :
- Birds are so different here, all kinds and Cockatoos were like our Krackle birds as noisy as heck and everywhere.
- Kangaroos are like our dear. Cool to watch, see and eat. Yes, eat. It was on the menu one night.
- The Average Aussie drinks 96 liters of beer per year
- Highway 1 is the longest national highway in the world
- There are more kangaroos than people
- The Drop Bear was created to scare tourists
- Australia has the second-highest human development index

- Melbourne has the largest Greek population outside of Greece

- Australia’s dingo fence is longer than the Great Wall of China
- Some of the world’s deadliest animals live here

- The Australian Alps receive more snow than Switzerland
- Home to the largest living structure on Earth – The Great Barrier Reef
- The Kangaroo is the national animal of Australia
- Home to a larger population of camels than Egypt
- Sydney is the largest city, but it’s not the capital.
- Wombat poo is square/cube-shaped so they don’t roll away. This makes it easier for them to mark their territory.

A beautiful morning for a short stop and look at the view. We had to disturb a muggle and his dog who soon walked on. So tranquil.
What a delightful spot to hide a cache. We find ourselves here on a glorious Sunday afternoon and are hesitant to depart. Thank you for bringing us here and TFTC
Beautiful spot along the trail. Had to get the geo kid to reach and grab. Almost lost it as it rolled towards the water! TFTC.

I Thought to complete my clues for Mystery at the Museum today and collect a few jewels even if I wouldn't complete and ended up breaking my PB for most finds in a day. I also ended with 2 Dnf's one muggled one eluded for way too long and I gave up after 20 minutes.
This was easy after reading the hint, yet I must be so bold as saying the coordinates are out again in this powertrail. This is in plain sight and I mean plain sight, and I mean toooooooooo in plain sight. So threw it back a bit further to a not so in plain sight, yet relatively easy spot. Congrats on your first Hugo and Nina.
