Nope
That last found log looks a bit dodgy

Down till I check it out, shouldn't be hard to find so is probably missing.

Searched for a good 20 minutes with no luck, based on previous logs it may be missing

Found

No sign of it. searched for 15 mins

Nope. I searched every spot applicable to the hint in the vicinity. I read the hint after a good 20 minutes searching. Already looked there. Read some logs, no help there. Searched every spot three times, 55 minutes later gave up.

6 yr old Tiffany and I found this for her first Geocache.

There has been reports of dog baits in the mcevoy oval area so please don't let your dogs off leash.

Our first find !!! Exciting

Our first geocache find very exciting

Mallika and Kiri found but got bit by many ants and oval isn’t an oval by a bush

First cache of the day and I was surprised by the container! I signed the log and removed the *ahem* adult protection aid. Honestly, people are just dumb. Great little hide. TFTC!

Quick detour on way home to grab this one. Took longer than it should have which is often the case when in a rush. TFTC

EZY as

Couldn't find it at all. Was very overgrown and lots of fallen trees everywhere

Found with the little one who had fun running along the path. No stickers will return and place some in three. Thanks.

A bit of a tricky one to find but worth the effort!

Great cache, took a bit of bushwhacking from McEvoy ova. Suggest going the other way if you can

Quick find in a nice little area.

Its not often we find ourselves about 1 minute from a cache, so we strolled on over today for a quick find with mrnoo's device, as mine was useless at around 70 m error , until we were exiting, then it woke up.

Sweet spot to place a cache! I'm only new to this so it was super fun just crunching around the terrain. Also loved just listening to the birds and taking in the beauty of the park.

I ventured out to Woy Woy with the intention of checking out a section of the Great North Walk, but there were so many wonderful distractions in the local are that I never got there. Instead there were a great deal of wonderful caches to discover! I was quite surprised to find that there was not a single soul enjoying the open space of the park here today. There was just a single tradie working on the nearby structure being built. For a moment I thought this one was going to be very close to neighbours house but it was an enjoyable find in the end. TFTC lance91

Close to home, tftc

Unfortunately this one was muggled. We foi d the container and put back what we could. No log to sign. We have messages the cache owner.

Had a look at cache and surrounds for log + trackable, could not locate either. Replaced logbook. Best not to drop trackables here anymore.

Thanks droped a trackable.he found his freinds.

#3822 (9 of 13 today)

OK, thanks to the weather (mostly) I only have a measly 24 finds in 16 days this month. Weather still dodgy looking, but with the Geowife otherwise engaged, thought I'd take a punt and go for a whole bunch of caches today. Unfortunately, there isn't anywhere close I can do that!

So decided to head up the F3 (or whatever they've called it now) and plunder the area around Woy Woy.
First time caching here, so I was pleased when having just cleared the 90kph wet zone on the freeway the rain stopped. And didn't return!

So made a lot of finds, most admittedly were Park & Grabs, but a few still had some interesting issues. And strangely grabbed a few caches not found for almost six months - no idea why it's been so long.

Definitely returning for more around here sooner rather than later.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Well it was a quick find - the problem was getting to GZ.

Arrived at the logical spot, to see the simple ingress was taken up by a muggle and their van - he was doing something with / in the sheds.
So I looked for another way in, and found it in a nearby cul-de-sac - beats walking across a soggy oval.

As I closed on GZ I was careful to stay out of the muggles' sight, and luckily made a quick find. Made the grab and then took away to complete signing duties.

Some schoolkids appeared on the trail but stayed far enough away that they couldn't tell what I was doing, and didn't come closer as I went back to carefully replace the cache (muggle must have been in a shed).

Walked back past them to the car - hmmm, they have a sistema and a ziplock bag... I wonder.

Nice

Geodaughter found this one. The phone had us in the wrong place. Tftc.

1st one with Joshua

Out and about in the area finding a few caches today.
I parked in McEnvoy St and walked across the field.
A quick find once at GZ.
Thanks for the cache.

Beautiful find

Found

I understand it's International Geocaching Day today so after an initial DNF today this cache looked like an easy find Came in from Macquarie Place, access from the oval or other directions would also be easy though. The co-ords pointed me right to GZ where I saw something suspicious and quickly found the cache. Nice touch with the FTFers mentioned on the cache.

Signed log, took a monkey and left a mini-pen. The listed trackable ("Travel GPS Geocoin") was not in the cache, hopefully it is still in circulation with a geocacher somewhere. TFTC!

I strike again! (Sol)

Found! Second cache for the day. Calum, Sol, Matisse, Ian and Neil. Took Olympic pin. Left Indian coins.

Sol's second find. Found it without assistance. Thanks to originator and participants.

Nice range of swaps.

Yewww

Surprisingly cache was still fine and all contents still there. Dogs enjoyed the oval though, dodging in and out of people out playing Pokemon GO
Will gather some more swag and come back to figure out if moving/camo is needed another day.
For now, cache is as is, available to be found in original spot.

Cache has been vandalized:(

Sadly someone has vandalized cache was a nice little adventure though for the family

Been meaning to moving this cache as the once overgrown area is now geo-trailed. Since its been vandalised may as well be now. Have a replacement cache, will be further in bush and restocked with swag.

Found it, tricky TFTC

A bit tricky but keep looking and it will be there right in front of you

Got a PAF message from a friendly neighbourhood geocacher today, who casually mentioned "the things we do for a new souvie" - what's that? A souvenir is on offer? What have I missed? so I did a quick search and realised I was in danger of missing my pretty shiney for "get outdoors day" - and with dusk approaching there was no time to waste...
I had been "saving" this one for later in the year when I was "stuck" here for the school sports carnival, but this was the best contender for a quick, kid friendly find just before dark....
So the geokids and I dashed off to Woys, and found ourselves in Macquarie Ave soon after - walking along the bush path we were headed to a bunch of teens hanging about - as we headed past them they stifled a few giggles as the kids looked in amazement at their lounge set up in the bush... I knew what they were probably doing, so was glad GZ was well beyond them, and not in a place that necessitated me letting them in on "our little secret"...
Once at GZ we soon located the cache, although the geokids found minimal swag of interest, so they quickly stashed it away demanding we go find another. I promised a find or 3 on Monday. Which satisfied them, but as we went to return the way we'd come miss 9 nervously asked of we had to go back past them - I indicated the short cut through the reserve, and we made a quick getaway.
Thanks for the fun of the find Lance91 - nice to get out into local-ish streets again... It's been a while

Cache check + Tb drop

I was in Woy Woy this afternoon so figured it was time I knocked over this one. Noting the cautionary message about using (or more specifically not using) the vacant house block to access the cache, I took the longer route across the sporting field and then followed the likely path to GZ. Once there, it was an easy find ... the camo does stand out a bit! Thanks for the smiley Lance.

Nice little mothers day fine

Found 4:58 pm with SkyPirate~. Well I like to do a cache from location to location. It helps clock up some K's on TBs and coins. Today was a little drive out to Pearl Beach with SkyPirate on his Learners. I decided on the return journey we would go past this cache and see if we could find it. SkyPirate also had his better half with him. We arrived near to GZ and thankfully the empty block was still empty, not being too sure how old the google map image was. We walked over to GZ and probably added to the somewhat well beaten path to find the cache a little later. A fairly easy find and a nice container and all in order. Signed the log and then we headed back to the geomobile with Skypirates better half doing it all barefoot. I reckon though the neighbours have a phobia about their caravan.
Thanks for the cache.

Easy find. Cords off by 10m at least

Pick the right trail! And I had to release two leeches back to the wild haha! Cache is out by 10-15 metres but a good find in a likely spot.
