I will check cache within next week. It may have been dislodged with the building works and if so it will be replaced. Best to wait until you hear from me before looking for it
TFTC- @ Brewmaker - we assume it was yours we found as brand new log....appreciate the hide.
Out with the geodog for a visit to the ES. Took some time as coords seemed out from where hint takes you. After checking lots of options I came up empty handed. Nothing to been seen except an empty plastic clip lock bag. Had spare container and log in car to replace if CO is okay with it. Otherwise I'll change log and collect container. A lovely walkway, with only one muggle dog walker passing by. TFTC

Took me a while, but I got there in the end.
Thank you, morganp68

Thank you, morganp68
I am new to this and had no idea where it was. I also got attacked by mosquitoes so I would recommend bug spray for this
Fortunately I find this cache in the first place I stuck my hand. Tftc and history lesson
Found today during a lunch time bike ride. The GPS wasn't too helpful, but the clue made for a quick find.
TFTC!

morganp68 I found your cache THE BELLEVUE WALK on 29/9/18, 4:12 pm. This is my find 2115 and find # 6 today. Coords spot on, just need the right angle to see it. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN
Visited here previously as this was GZ of a archived Wherigo. Sort of a quickish find by using the building with satellite maps, thanks morganp68
Tried all the potential places to crack this cache but eventually found it. Its placed where it is not visually obvious and found 2 cache.
Tftc. Searched for a little while with a struggling GPS and after expanding our search a little, we soon had CIH.
Once at GZ searched a number of potential places for the cache without luck.
Saw the poor accuracy on our GPS and so expanded the search, eventually finding the cache in a sneaky position.
Like the hiding mechanism
Thanks!

Great Find ,location wasn't to hard. Actually was very pleasant to do this one at night with a torch, signed the logbook. This cache is very very close to its geo location and the hint will guide the path
I came across to the south of the harbour for my caching adventures today.
I grabbed a parking spot in Kambala Road and walked up Rupertswood Ave, where I suspect there would always be parking, to the start of this pathway, not too far, then it was down the steps (my knees don't like steps to GZ.
Once there I looked around carefully until I was able to spot the cache from the right angle. (the hint did help narrow the search)
The log was signed, hate that paper, and some TBs visited without a muggle in sight.
TFTC # 2263

After the uphill track to Vinegar Hill, it was refreshing to find a cache where I was walking downhill. TFTC.
Out on a caching day with Mobsey, and after a 40 minute search and 3 sets of eyes, we couldn’t find it.
Found on our second time coming here, sneaky hide! Would say the hint is potentially a bit misleading.
Damn, the view from the houses at the top of the hill is amazing!! Can see all the way across to bondi and two of the gold courses! @_@ Once we finished admiring the views, we walked down the ally and soon had CIH Nice solid little one. Signed and replaced. TFTC!

A quick dash waiting for a meeting. Coords were all jumpy coz of power lines and tree cover. But looked at the street map and spotted gz immediately!

Found quickly. Made friends with barking dog. Waited for a muggle. And put the cache back.
Tftc,
A bit away from GZ, but no problem for a Crack DETECTIVE.
Great reason to locate a cache, visited a group of trackables.

Had a nice walk on Sat with Lili. Here is a very secret path - Lili didn't believe it's a path she thought it's a private area. And the cache - followed an ant walk way and found it. The log is super wet but doesn't matter for a water proof one. Thanks for bringing me to this quiet and secret small path here morganp68!
A great little hide. A fine laneway. I once saw boys from the private school down the road smoking here. Thanks
Took a slight diversion from my usual route to work today to pick up a few caches around the Bellevue Hill area. This was the 1st of 4 finds, and 3 DNF's, for the morning.
After suffering 2 DNF's to start off the caching morning, I next stopped at this one. Parked the geomobile at the end of Rupertswood Avenue and then walked down the laneway, past some impressive retaining wall buttresses, and on to GZ. Searched, as per the hint, and soon uncovered the hide, resulting with CIH. Signed the log sheet and then replaced as found. It was nice to finally score a find, after the previous DNF's.

I (eventually) found it laying on the ground, so I put it back where it must have come from.
Started searching on the wrong side; turned around and saw the cache lying on the ground on the other side. Signed log and replaced cache, hopefully in correct location. TFTC morgan68.
Second time lucky for me with this cache following a DNF back in April. Walked to GZ after working around the corner again and still had poor GPS reception but a bit more time to search. Only had to contend with one muggle who passed by just as I was leaving. Many thanks morganp68
I thought this was going to take me ages to find, but the coords were spot on and I got a little bit lucky by finding it within a minute of searching. Apologies for the late log. TFTC morganp68
Love these finds. Sneaky laneway between more money than I can imagine. Hint helps. TFTC
As per the previous finder... What a SOLID container! Thanks for placing this cache here. Was super enjoyable walking through all the random stairways
Nice stairway found cache on the floor so probably needs contains and repositioning cheers

Quick find with a bunch of (no longer) muggle mates after school.
Cheeky spot!

For today I wanted to visit some caches. After studying the GC map I decided to go to Edgecliff and Darling point.
As it was a Sunday and the weather was nice I expected I would not be able to search for all the caches I wanted to visit. Because at some places I expected to many muggles.
I left my apartment just before 12am to cache the train from Martin place to Edgecliff.
Because I finished my search earlier then expected and with less founds than I hoped for I decided to extent my search.
At the end of the day I had found 9 caches. 2 caches I could not find. And 4 or 5 I had to skip due to muggles.
I had no idea were I should start my search so I had a look at the hint.
This helped but not enough. So I decided to look at the logs. One of the logs revealed a clue about which site of the alley to search.
After about five minutes I found the cache in a spot I had looked before.
Thanks for this one.

Turns out after my second attempt in a crack detective after all! Had the dog in the back yard looking right at me frontally directly above yapping away with the owner yelling in her Scottish accent "Let 'im go, let 'im go". Cache returned exactly where I found it.
The sun had not yet set, but the stairs were quite dark already! Phone torch was required and proved very useful when the light hit a sneaky hidden cache. Tftc!
Stopped for a hopefully quick find on the way home after completing Hidden History at The Rock. A deserted area made the search, find and log quick and easy. TFTC mrgan68.
This took me a while to find, turns out it was at the first place I looked but obviously I didn't search well enough. Thanks CO and TFTC
Cool laneway just down the road from me. Not very good gps accuracy in the lane, but the find wasn't hard. Found with geohound. Tftc
I look and look in every nook and cranny I had No luck. My GPS had me running all over the place . Just because I did not find it does not mean it is not there. Next time.
Nice to find a new local cache. Did not even know this stair case was here
I went to Bellview Hill and walked the walk, and being a crack detective I found the cache quickly, despite the GPS being unresponsive there. ☺ TFTC morganp68
Zusammen mit Pebbles and Fred gefunden Diesen hier habe ich entdeckt TFTC morganp68.
Nice suburb great views here and there. Dino found this one, Pebbles rather collected flowers. TFTC
Had a quick look for this one as I was working around the corner but no joy with the steady rain and bugger-all GPS reception. I'll watch and will be back.
3/2/15. 11:31 AM. Cache #3476. Streak day #591.
3rd of 4 this morning - Barangaroo, Elizabeth Bay & Bellevue Hill.
Time to head east and get a few more of the recently published caches. Leaving "Hidden Oasis", I was reminded of the Whereigo "GPS" that I had found in August 2014, as I turned around past one of its waypoints, the Toft Monks building. Driving through several of the streets in Elizabeth Bay reminded me even more of the route for that Whereigo and then finally when I was in the alleyway starting to look for this one, I realised that I was very close to where that one had ended.
Anyway, this one was obviously in a different sort of hide than "GPS", based on the different hint. I felt in a few potential spots and then realised I had overshot GZ by more than 20m and needed to head back up and try again. Seemed like it was going to be a tricky one. I had a crack team of potential PAFs that I could have gone to, but then I managed to get my hands on it before having to resort to that. It was sneaky; worth the 3 stars. I reckon the coords are fine though. Off to "Belle View" next. TFTC.

Wasted a lot of time here acting like the wrong sort of crack detective as my gps was bouncing me all over the place !

We had been out of our general area when the publishing started and for some reason we missed the publishing in the area we were in. Any way we saw this had not been found in the initial rush so headed over. Interesting set of steps in between all the big houses. Certainly a large old retaining wall with anchors. Thec GPSr accuracy a bit all over the place even with the Garmin. Given the D rating we knew it would be well hidden. We searched around for a bit and final found the well hidden cache. We opened it up to confirm **FTF**. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC. Well done on your first hide.
