As my brother has moved away, I don't have nephews to check on this...and I don't visit the area anymore.
No luck for us here today. Will keep an eye on it next time we're in the area. Thanks
Lovely find at Avoca beach with my three girls - very clever hide and my youngest found it! Well done Saffs!
Oh my gosh what an awesome cache and hide

A trip down memory lane. I lived my teenage years in Avoca with a fair amount of time surfing out Avoca point and the corner. I was always in awe of Mark ‘Sanga’ whenever he hit the water while we were out there. When he and Ross Clarke Jones were surfing, we would just sit on the rocks and watch them. The day Sanga died, we were all in shock. He was so young and had so much ahead of him. Thanks for a great memorial cache at my home beach. FP for the cache construction, the place, the memories and the fluffy tailed cache guardian!
Found with Shaneo58, Doing a round trip up to Gosford, Kincomber, Avoca and Terrigal. A day with intermittent rain. Finally after being locked down and being separated from the central coast. we were able to travel down here. Found quickly,

First time caching in this part of the Central Coast beaches Nice views. Pity about the weather today. TFTC Alnic39
Found it, not as easy as we thought it would be. No pencil so couldn’t sign log.
Found on a nice sunny day after looking too far away for a while and then being transfixed watching a pair of crabs dancing around each other. Finally found one cache covering the other and signed both. Thanks alnic39.
Lovely place. Beautiful sunny day and the water looking spectacular. Sad to lose a talented guy. TFTC.
I found a cache before a funeral earlier today, the wake is at the SLSC as the subject of the day was a longtime supporter. I don’t know what they would have thought of this particular game but they would have liked anything that brought people to the beach.
I remember spending a bit of time at Avoca Beach when I was much younger, but mainly nearer Heazlett Park. Interesting to walk around here and very sad to see the memorials to several locals who died young. The cache was a surprisingly easy find. I could have been here for ages but I happened to look at the right angle and see something that didn’t belong. A nice distraction from the sadness of the day.

While down this way visiting the muggle man and I were out and about enjoying the coast -- given my caching days on the coast were pre-2017, I noted this one was sitting unfound on my map... Can't have that, so made it my business to find it - despite it being brunch time on Saturday, noone seemed to be exploring the rocks, given the reasonably large swell today. This made my life a whole lot easier than it could have been and the cache was found without difficulty. Thanks for the hide alnic39.
I couldn't find it, we didn't take the phone though we just tried to memorize it. I think it would have been better to bring it. I'll try again next time.
We’re here for a wedding week end. We stopped for dinner and then a walk followed by a cache hunt.
This took a little while and we discovered 2 here.
Although we can only get 1 smiley.

Finally managed to get here after ages on the radar. Amazing spot for memorial of a talented young surfer taken too soon!

Surprisingly overgrown cache given how recently it was found, took about half an hour. TFTC!
Sneaky lil bugger! Found it after about 20mins of scrambling over the rocks.
TFTC, beautiful location for a cache!

Found on 2nd attempt after too many muggles on the 1st. Forgot a pen tho. Lovely area. RIP Sanga
Too a bit to find, unfortunately as soon as i found it, i had to leave as a spider decided to drop in and say hi. Beautiful spot. Tftc
We were on a holiday and needed a break and we stumbled upon this Geocache. It took us around 20 minutes to find and there were heaps of people nearby. I recommend leaving something to write with as we forgot to bring a pen.
OCW oldmorty for the second week in a row. Today's direction is north to the lower central coast.
Thanks to all the cache owners
for maintaining the caches.

The recently formed firm of removalists, "marj01 + 1 and oldmorty", had their first job today, transporting baby equipment up to the Central Coast. Whilst up there we found time for a few caches. Thanks to all the cache owners who provided a diversion in the day. After finding this one we had a sanga. Cheers oldmorty.
Fun hide for the kids. Had to wait for a sweet lady and her pup to enjoy the scenery before searching but was a great change to play in the rock pools and watch the fishermen bring in some Australian salmon. Beautiful day to be out!
It was hard but there wasn’t any pencil to write in the log thing left something in there when I found it there wasn’t anything!! Hint: look through the comments!!
We’re on holiday here with family that owns a condo On the beach. Where from Texas but we’ve been here for over two weeks since the Coronavirus has hit the world. We feel safe here and loving my God I know he’ll help protect us and my family I left at home at our self reliant Dancin’ Creek Permaculture Homestead(FB). We made this our first cache in this area for this visit. SL - purple. T- picture and a succulent seed. L- for a stroll. TFTC Peace for healing world
A bit of a search to find the spot. Some of clues were misleading but one in particular was very spot on.
