Nice hide. Quick find.

Great to visit our childhood holiday stomping ground today… brings back the road trips listening to Hot Chocolate, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner and Southern Sons. TFTC!
 
11-Jun-23
Can’t believe this one doesn’t get more wet without being in a container of some kind. I was discretely signing away when some people approached and asked where the cache was. Obviously I wasn’t discrete enough for the trained eye of a geocacher. TFTC!!
 
11-Jun-23
Went for ride and found it, great view!
 
20-May-23
Nice little find from Billy. Had to use the little extraction tool nearby. TFTC

Found with friends
 
15-Apr-23
Searched for a bit as we were just passing through. It appears the storm has torn through quite violently, and there is debris everywhere. May need to check on the cache, in case it has been blown away.
 
09-Apr-23
We decided to explore around Tathra this Easter Sunday, but didn't realise there was a local festival in progress (Pig Day Out). Made searching a bit more difficult due to increased muggle activity, but once we realised the hint is in the title, we were able to make a relatively easy find. Thanks for placing.
 
09-Apr-23
It wasn't I the tube, please put it back in the tube when found. What a beautiful day.
 
07-Apr-23

Staying in Bega for Xmas, a trip to Tathra was on the menu. We visited the wharf and the local shops and then it was time for some caching. This clever cache was found by my geo-partner Shufflehop, after a short search.

Day 8 and my last day in Bermagui before heading home. Goal today was to complete the SST series (Minus my DNF's), majority left are south around Tathra and Bega plus grab any others along the way.

This was a quick find once the beachgoers moved along, lovely spot.

Tftc!

Found this cache today with 007Mushu and Little Cricket. I think there may have been a cacher just ahead of us as first we thought it was a muggle so we waited in the car until we thought the coast was clear then made the quick find. Great hide TFTC Smile

If the cache was held in place with a conduit fitting, it is now empty. Might need a check, RS.
 
31-May-22
Well I found it in a easy to reach spot in the pole, not sure if that is its original hiding spot though, if it is please ignore the NM note.

Great view of the beach tucked away from the small village. TFTC
 
11-Jan-21
The rest of the family was further down the beach playing in the waves. I was making use of the afternoon to cycle and cache around the area.

This spot was deserted when I arrived. Thus, I could check around for a likely hiding spot without looking suspicious. A bit of inspection revealed a likely hiding place, and soon the container was in hand. Log signed, everything put back as found, and back on the bike to the next destination.

Beautiful spot
