22-Aug-24
Oh. I thought there was something INSIDE the something that was the real head-turner. Spent a minute looking at an old golf ball in there as a swap, wondering where the heck it came apart then realised the log was sitting next to it! Thanks contactpete

This cache was awesome. I have the one climbing and quickly worked out the field puzzle. Fav from me. Out with KAZ444 for our lost caching day before I leave on a 5 weeks holiday to Japan and cruising home. We want to get some caches south of Newcastle. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache.

20-Jun-24
Spotted it soon enough but then a bit unsure!But thanks to the reassuring geo logo and disconnected bits plus forgot my bag with TOD so had to resort to car keys like other comments.Muggles free but got a fright with a voice behind me. Luckily it was a friend who knew my hobby.Retrieving on your own does not give any protection from a muggles sudden appearance TFTC

Best cache so far. Lots of fun. #Aarily
 
09-Jun-24
Found by The Empire We were in Newcastle last night to watch Melbourne Ice smash the Newcastle Northstars. Now, on our way to Sydney for the rest of the double-header weekend, we are making the most of our journey south. Leaving Newcastle, we drove south on the Pacific Highway (M1), quickly merging onto the A43 towards Swansea. This route took us through the Lake Macquarie area, a large coastal saltwater lake that is a haven for sailing and water sports enthusiasts. The sight of the lake glistening in the morning sun was a perfect start to our trip.Continuing on the A43, we passed through Swansea and crossed the Swansea Bridge, which offered stunning views of the lake meeting the Pacific Ocean. From there, we headed towards The Entrance, a popular holiday destination known for its family-friendly atmosphere and the famous daily pelican feeding. We stopped here to stretch our legs and watch the pelicans gather, a unique spectacle that attracts visitors from all over. A quick stop off here to grab this one. I think it's been broken by previous finders as it was super easy to get the log out, then we were back on our way. Thanks for the cache contactpete.-M

What a great cache.. nicely hidden in plain sight.

Thanks contactpete for placing this here, contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy.
 
24-Mar-24
Very quiet spot this morning. I read about the birds as I twisted this way and that. Defying gravity for a few minutes like the kites. A rare Astro fav added. Found on the Mega Capital Geobash coastal loop via Adelaide - Barrington - coast to Mexico City loop. A lot of caches and white line fever was sweated out. Thanks contactpete and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

18-Mar-24
Apologies for such a late log, for some reason the Geocaching app is doing all our logs as drafts even though that setting is not checked. Will be changing app.Found@ 2:48pm after a weekend of square dancing. Took toy clapper, left smiley face badge. Also took travel bug to move on. SL, Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here.

#12972 11:50It is always nice to find a cache that is so perfectly camouflaged that it can be hidden in plain view. With a van full of tools, it was not hard to find the right tool for the job. Log signed as MCBID, Martin Cousins, Brewmarker and Its Dozzie.TFTC

Day 9. A last minute plan had been hatched to make my way to QOGM. Very little planning had been done but a very rough outline was in place and it was going to be a day by day trip.With my caching buddy on a plane and back home in Melbourne, it was time to start making some progress north with a likely end destination of Newcastle today.This was a clever cache and I had a fun time working through it. Fortunately there were no muggles about at the time. Unfortunately there is no log inside the cache so I added a paper log to keep this going for now.A favourite point for your efforts.Thanks contactpete for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------The 12 Days of Cachemas series is now live.

I am behind in logging but I visited here this afternoon. Unfortunately cache is empty as I’ve just noticed other cachers have mentioned. I checked a couple of other spots in case there was a decoy, and after referring to photos of logs past, I added a log sheet for the time being until a new log book can be arranged - hope that is ok.

Thanks for the amazing cache. Log to follow.

26-Jun-23
Very very very cool cache
 
25-Jun-23
For old, fat farts like us, it was a little tricky, but we did it!
 
12-Jun-23
This one cracked me up. I decided to have a read of the sign when I first approached GZ, particularly because an older lady was approaching the boardwalk with her small dog, and it would let me waste a few moments before I started searching for the cache.

I looked up at the sign - and immediately spotted the cache. Lol.

Once the woman had disappeared down the boardwalk, I climbed up to work out how to access the cache. It didn't take long to work out the tool, and I soon had the cache and could climb back down. Signed log - it's in good condition. Climbed back up to return it, and made sure to securely it properly, as I had noticed one corner wasn't properly secured when I arrived.

It wasn't until she went past me that I realised the woman & dog had returned from the boardwalk! I had been looking around at every noise, but they'd both been completely silent! I don't know what she must have thought, seeing me standing where I was!

Thankfully it was otherwise fairly quiet at GZ. Thanks for the fun cache!

TFTC. What an amazing cache and I loved the idea. Log signed and cache safe and sound. Out Geocaching with Deni _f today before the event. Had an awesome day. A favourite from me.
 
09-Jan-23
i spotted the geocaching symbol, then used the “tool” to open it. It wasn’t in the bush, but an even better spot, nice hide
 
09-Jan-23
Nice Hide. Spotted it immediately with B777 and had the log signed quickly. Although the “tool” is supplied I used my own multitool. I’ve seen several like this and have a similar hide in the USA.

I’ll give it one of my 1400 favourites I have available ??

The coordinates are off on my trusty Garmin. There is no need to venture into the bush.
 
05-Jan-23
Awesome find.
 
05-Jan-23
Visited this area today with this cache as a focus. i_halfpint soon located the cache and was busy making his way towards the log, which was handed to me to sign. Great cache, well set up thank you contactpete. Lovely area indeed.

One of the best finds we have ever had in our 117 finds so far. Fantastic!!!!
 
30-Nov-22
What a great cache and a great puzzle. Found it but didn’t locate a pen to sign the log. Awesome find nonetheless. TYFTC

Just as well for hubby,

Having made a find just a bit further down the road, I decided to head here and was really impressed with the hide. I really love hides like this - so clever. Deserves a favourite. TFTC.
 
30-Oct-22
Co-ords a little off but super fun find once we spotted it! Tftc - all the way from Tassie!
 
29-Oct-22
The gps took us a bit too far onto the path before we reread the description and turned back. The container was soon found and after a quick inspection we worked out what we had to do. The height and the actual mechanics slowed us down a bit, too bad we left our tools in the cat.

We soon had the clever cache opened and had our names on the book.

Thanks for the fun and interesting field puzzle!
 
29-Oct-22
Nice, quick find! Thanks Smile
 
26-Oct-22
A weekend with the family nearby landed me here getting the kids outside in the sunshine we finally have. A quick stop and a quick find but a little longer to get to the heart of the matter. This is why I geocache - eclipse tins don’t do it for me but this does! Please accept a favorite from me. Tftc. Tnlnsl.
