Couldn't find it, there was a hole where we think it could have been. We think muggles have taken it
I spent about 20 minutes trying to find it. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find it but I will come back
Had a couple of searches and couldn't find what we wanted. Will try again soon thanks!
This one seems a bit tricky and we were unable to locate. Even sent a msg to CO yo c9nfirm if still there and he said yes it was mmmm so we searched again but still nothing for us
We loved this cache! First time that we've come across one of this sort. Keep doing similar ones, as it's a lot of fun. TFTC.
Quick find, but unfortunatly I could not open the cache. I needs some maintenance.
Cinnamon tea cake and I found this on ANZAC day. Had trouble getting it open
Very clever cache, couldn't get it open once we found it though (if it's even meant to be opened?)
Best one of the day. Quick find. Got it open but could. It get the log out. Fat fingers. Great cache. Ow off for a coffee. Thanks
First time I've cached on the northern side of the harbour and the caches certainly didn't disappoint. Some finds came thick and fast while others took some thinking and at times some retracing of steps. On a cool and at times wet Saturday morning it was such a good day to get out and cache and explore this part of Sydney.
Also visited a heap of trackables I had on board today that Will accompany me to Alice Springs next month for the event being held over Easter.

My daughter found this one without realising what it was and handed it to me! We had to wave a bus on!

Well, today is not the first time I've headed out Narrabeen way on a really hot day. I had a lunchtime appointment out Chatswood way, so it was easy to just keep heading east once I was done.
So with some Slip, Slop, Slap and the car telling me it's only 35 degrees outside, I decided to keep my finds to short walks or Park and Grabs.
In the end I found 10, but there were just too many DNFs mixed in as well.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
And the final DNF of the day.
Parked nearby and walked back to GZ. Hmmm, the iPhone is pointing just past the bench, but I'm suspecting another spot.
Well, the other spot seems clear, so tried the bench. Nope, nothing there. Went for the hint. Done that, but refocussed. Still nothing. And it's only recently been found. But I remember the CO from a previous cache where the coords were well out.
Started to rethink it when a muggle turned up for the bus. Time to move on.

Decided to go for a drive to the Northern Beaches tonight with Snoopy1976 and decided to do some caches in the area. This was the 2nd for the Night took us a few minutes to locate and then it was a trip back to the car for the requires TOTT to retrieve the log. TFTC
Streak Day #1297 - Stopped by here and this one took a few mins to find, had casted my eyes over this the first time and ignored it but on a 2nd check, discovered it was the cache. TFTC
The day I come out without TOTT!!!!. But all good ... eventually. Nice hide. Thank you
Headed north after our morning swim at Manly. Last caches for the year. Tricky little devil. Funny but the bus arrived at the same time we did and we had to wave it away! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
The sun was sparkling on the sea after another sweltering night. It was good to get out for a short walk, grab a coffee and this cache. Nice one.

Today it was another great, sunny day, so time to go out to do some geocaches and then a dip in the sea. After a few Minecraft caches around Narrabeen lagoon, I drove around for some other nearby caches.
The Collaroy plateau certainly has great views, and even better with a few caches scattered around the plateau. The peculiar item was quickly spotted and I added my name to the tiny log sheet.
Thanks for the cache Dominic2912.

Fourth of five found during a late Saturday afternoon solo wander on the Plateau. Made a phone call back home to avoid looking conspicuous, then looked in the direction indicated in the hint. Cheeky indeed. Many thanks Dominic2912
Decided to come over this way today for a spot of caching. This was first on the list and while I started my search as a 180 came past on the way to Wynyard. However the cache itself was spotted quickly enough and signed before I carried on. Thanks Dominic2912.

I came and joined JordsAu and pk, after father days activities. Quick find thanks for the cache!
After a big day caching yesterday, pk1965 and I decided to back it up with another one today. We arranged to meet up in the morning and we drove over together towards Narrabeen to tackle to infamous Mindcraft series. We have heard really good things about this series and it was the perfect day for a walk around Narrabeen Lake.
We started at the car park near number 2 in the series and headed off by foot in a clockwise direction, finding 'Rocky' and 'Badger's Birthday' on the way to the 'MINECRAFT SERIES #3' Multi Cache. Unfortunately the awesome gadget at number 3 was not working and we managed to overlook the cache (thinking we had found it, but we had not). We continued by finding 'MINECRAFT SERIES #1', 'MINECRAFT SERIES #7', the 'MINECRAFT SERIES #4' Multi Cache, 'War what is it good for.' and 'MINECRAFT SERIES #6'. We stopped by 'S-olo-tree Point' but the area looked too wet and we could not find a dry route to the cache, so we abandoned that idea. We rejoined the lagoon walking track and found 'MINECRAFT SERIES #8', 'Badger's Causeway', 'Badger's Baton' and 'Badger's Goat Gruff'. Despite there being a number of Did Not Finds on 'Badger's Bounty', we had a look around anyway but, sadly, it appears to be gone. 'Badger's Bannister' and 'Badger's Retreat' provided us with better fortunes, but we failed to locate 'Yuck gum' after crossing the bridge. To rest and recharge, we popped into a nearby restaurant for a bite to eat, as well as a couple of sneaky bevvies, before continuing to 'MINECRAFT SERIES #5' and the 'MINECRAFT SERIES #2' Multi Cache - both are definite picks of the day and, as such, favourite points have been awarded!
We decided to head back to number 3 of the series, now we knew the type of hide we needed to be looking for and were successful this time around. By this time, morry9 had walked over from the car park to meet us and we waited while he found the cache. Pk1965 and I wanted to set a target of 25 finds for the day, so we headed back to the car and set off to find a handful of park and grabs together. We found 'Im railed', 'Mineral Recycling (Takin' out the Trash-SERIES)', 'Magnetic Wood', 'Cliff Edge' (where we were applauded by the neighbours across the road when we had the Cache In Hand), 'The bus is here!!!', 'Fun and Games', 'Water ways(Takin' out the Trash-SERIES)', 'Rock Hard'. We could not find 'Pipe Line (Takin' out the Trash-SERIES)' but did not feel comfortable poking around with torches shining around the front yard of a couple of private residences. With one more cache required to reach our target for the day, we found 'Diagon Alley 1 -Aguamenti ~/ Agua-Minty /', and went for a bonus find at the nearby 'Badger's Behind' for the fun of it. We then headed back to the car and stopped by the nearby tavern for a celebratory drink.
Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners.

Not a muggle in sight. Mid weekday arvo is a good time to come here.
The 3rd and final cache for today, 3/3.
Not sure this will last a really long time here, too tempting for muggles.

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. TFTC found it quickly.
Lovely container. People don't explain too much about it. I already knew what it was before reaching the place.
The cache of the day, on a sunny Friday morning. Had to wait for a tradie taking pictures across the road.
23/7/16. 6:04 PM. Cache #4043.
1 find this evening - Collaroy Plateau.
After the Swans game, I caught a train to Chatswood where I'd left the car and made my way up here to this cache. It was well after dark, so I was hoping it wouldn't be too hard to spot. Luckily, it wasn't. TFTC.

Needed yet another calendar gap cache for today, so once again headed over to Collaroy Plateau to have a look at yet another new one from Dominic2912. All these new placements are coming in very handy for our calendar gaps, having done just about every other cache on the Northern Beaches.
Parked the geomobile close to GZ, in Edgecliff Boulevard, and then headed over to GZ for a look. Thankfully the drizzly weather presented us with a muggle free GZ, and a quick check of the most obvious spots soon had us with CIH. A very familiar bit of camo, but it's well placed here and blends in perfectly with it's "host".
Extracted the log, which was made more difficult than it should have been due to the integral "tool" having been incorrectly inserted upside down in the container. Cachers please note that the hook of the tool goes BELOW the log, with the non-hook end at the top, making the non-hook end available to grab onto and therefore help pull the log upward and extract it from the container.
Signed the log and then replaced as found, except with the tool inserted the correct way around this time. TFTC Dominic2912.
