I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com.

Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the *archive listing* link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

"G'day..
I found the geocache at the Lagoon but before reading what it was, I relocated back to Copacabana..
I'm not planning to return to the Lagoon and I'm wondering if I should place the container in another location..?
Please assist me in continuing this GR8-IDEA."
I've tried to persuade him to return it but no luck. Please join me in asking him to do the right thing and return the cache so the many people who hunt in this beautiful spot can continue to do so.

It could have been a tardis but a bit of AC/DC will do me fine. Quick fine but not really comfortable as I was signin 2 women walked past and stared. Glad my pants where done up. Tftc tnln
Great spot. Never been to this spot before. Beautiful. Thanks for taking me here. Easy as cache. 2 quick ones this evening.
Thank you for this cache! I am staying in Copacabana, but without a cache to follow I would never have gone to the other side of the lagune and found this nice walk
This is my first cache in the area, and the 8th in Australia. Greetings from Norway.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
Found yesterday. On holiday at macmasters beach . Thanks for placing it here it gave me an excuse to explore further oh and wasn't disappointed.
Found while doing the give lands walk with two muggles. Left a track able to head north.
This was our first geocache. We left some pretty cool prizes! We are going to love this new found family hobby! It's easy to find and easy access. Great fun!
Found on New Year's Eve with Ulmy1 this is a late log entry because of a party. Happy New Everyone. TFTC
Quick find. But I see froglog found just before us and did not cover cache back up. Please cover after your finds.
A nice spot here. Only a few muggles about so we could hunt without drawing attention. A quick find. SLTN, left an elephant in the container. Hope he gets a fair swap. We'll give this its first fav for the location, accurate coords and D/T rating. Thanks Wordherd
In order to get the restless geo-kids moving today I suggested we go find a few caches, knowing I had left a handful of caches around Copa and Macs, so we headed on over here. Having stopped first for the cache at Copa beach, I encouraged the kids to walk along the beach to the lagoon, but once they spied the distance on the map between the 2 caches they were having none of it, telling me it was too hot (even though I told them they could cool off in the water) - so reluctantly we drove from there to here, where they jumped out of the car and dashed off to explore their 3rd water source for 3 caches today
When they were done, I read the clue, explaining the bits they didn't understand, and Geo-Jorjy pointed out the power lines overhead and said "up there!" - I suggested the cache wouldnt be 'up there', but would be nearby - and in moments Remmus had spied the container... it wasnt under the camo that was there, so when we replaced it we did so under the camo, making it less "in plain sight" for anyone looking in that direction.
thanks for bringing us to this spot, and for the simple find.

Public holiday so what better thing to do but go to Copa for the day. Went to the beach in the morning, saw this cache nearby but had no pen, neither did anyone else. Now maybe a pen would be provided but decided to make the walk later in the day, which I did with Oatlands and we made the find nice and easily. TFTC.
Quickly found, signed logbook & replaced. After all done, I walked along the waters.. What a beautiful & peaceful place!
Thanks Wordheard

A great cache for the kids. We went to sit down on the rocks, when while we were opening the cache a fisherman came down to join us. BE CAREFUL. An awesome cache with a great view of the lagoon. We took the travel bug TB3T9R4 on the journey up north for more adventures. The clue was very helpful. TFTC
Nice spot to sit. Just sit. And think. Anyways really good cache with lots of effort put into it. tftc
As I missed out on attending the FTF event for this cache because I was on my way to Sydney at the time, I was in no particular rush to go and look for it, knowing that since it's just 5 minutes or so drive from home, I could get it any day I liked. And that day was today! With it being such a beautiful warm sunny spring morning, I decided it was a good day to get out of the house and go find a couple of caches. It didn't take long to make the find here but then I adjourned to the nearby seat where I lingered, enjoying the sun and the view, for quite a while before heading back home for lunch.
Thanks for placing a cache here in such a picturesque location Wordherd ... much nicer than one that used to be just down the road in the tidal zone of the lagoon.

I am house sitting in the area for a month.
So I am out to find all geocaches in the area.
Today I was out and about on the MTB for about a 20km ride.
This was the fourth stop.
Once at GZ I needed a bit of a search to find this one.
Thanks for the cache.

I'd just finished some gardening and was pondering an early lunch when the notification of this cache came through. Quickly deciding that finding a cache had priority over food, I headed across, but as I approached GZ my heart sank when I saw electricity work trucks manoeuvring around the end of Lakeside Drive. Fortunately, though, their attention was well away from the cache and I was able to proceed down to the water's edge where I met Team Novo who was just completing his FTF log.
After a quick introduction I followed my GPSr to a quick find. A few minutes later we were joined by Mr&MrsFish, and once they'd made the find we spent a very enjoyable hour or so discussing all the great caches around the Central Coast and beyond.
Many thanks for the hide in a beautiful little spot that I wouldn't have otherwise known about.

When this cache came in I was servicing my bicycle, but took a break when I saw GZ was only ten minutes away. I have not been to this exact spot before, but my son once holidayed in one of the houses just across from GZ. When we arrived there were 2 other cachers already there and of course we recognised barefootjeff but met Team Novo for the first time. The cache was soon found then we settled in for a chat on a great sunny morning with the expected rain not there yet. Thanks Wordherd for a good cache in another top location on the coast, we never seem to run out of them.

I don't live far away and so with the notification popping up whilst working on some puzzle caches for my away trip coming up this weekend I figured ..why not. We used to live across the lagoon so I'm quite familiar with the little trail on the south/west bank which passes this beautiful location. I highly recommend you check it out! Once I had CIH and taken care of business, I decided to sit on the nearby bench to enter my online log and see if anyone else was on their way as I was bummed to miss the recent C4 meet for International Geocaching Day 2016. So when BFJ and Mr & Mrs Fish rocked up shortly after it was really lovely to meet them and talk shop whilst enjoying the surrounds. Thanks Wordherd for the invitation to come out and find your GC. Took the TB and I will get him started on his journey.
