I wanted to come and find this cache as I needed a cache this far (982km) from home for a challenge cache in Victoria. bunadoorian and I were not giving up - but it did take a long time to find this cache. Finally I found it. I loved the painted water tank nearby and views down the coast. TFTC and for bringing us here grey team.

I visited this GZ mainly due to the name. What a view! I walked around in circles for a while but couldn’t spot the cache. I opted to DNF and enjoy the scenery instead.

I wish I could FP a DNF.

One of the best views on the MNC I reckon! Last time I looked for this cache I had 2 inpatient kids with me and the light was fading. Was nice to turn it into a smiley. Thanks for placing this cache here.
 
05-Oct-22
Actually found this one quite a while ago but have obviously forgotten to log it, along with a few others. Senior moment!! Took us quite a while to eventually spot this sneaky little blighter. The view is spectacular. TFTC
 
07-Sep-22
On a trek early this morning from Lake Cathie to West Haven via the coast (20.41km), over from WA to see my folks and trying to clean up some caches within walking distance before we head home tomorrow!

Managed to get 12 finds and 3 DNFs over the course of the morning..... absolutely beautiful Spring day with a magnificent sunrise over the beach to start us off!

This was one sneaky little fella just hanging around, plenty of room on log still!

Thank you for placing and maintaining Oh the view! grey team! The view was amazing! Smile

What an awesome part of the world it is over here, cannot wait to come back again!
 
04-Sep-22
Second attempt and found it this time tftc

Thought we may have a quick find but alas no. Will try again when we have more time

This micro hanging about would constitute cruel and unnatural punishment. The view does make it worthwhile.

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. I’ll leave the more interesting & detailed log to Mrs Geo (aka: SeasonedBird, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird) because she writes so much more eloquently than I and usually has much more time to do so while I’m driving. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC grey team

No dramas for me, I'll take em geocaching.
First one if the morning a what a suprise. It's beautiful. Thank you.
 
08-Jul-21
Gosh! The view was amazing but I came out empty handed. I guess it’s just not my day and by the comments and DNF it must be really difficult. Disappointing morning Sad
 
08-Jul-21
Hi again we are back from the sunrise after not finding it on my early morning run. I’ve realised it needs to be daylight to find this cheeky bugger. It’s definitely here in good conditions just hanging around. TFTC wasn’t gonna let this little guy get the best of me
 
25-Apr-21
I peeled my eyes like I do when I'm looking for koalas. I never find those either!

Yesterday I departed Brisbane on my way south to spend Christmas with some relatives in Vincentia, NSW. I had allowed myself a few days of relaxed travel, which gave me plenty of time to do some caching along the way. Having camped in my car in Coffs Harbour overnight, I was up at daybreak to continue the journey south, pausing for a stop at this cache.

This is easily the best view I have encountered so far on the trip. I was very impressed as I drove in towards GZ and spent some time admiring the scenery before I even set about finding the cache. Maybe it was the view which distracted me but it took me quite some time before I spotted the tiny hide. TFTC

We came, we hung out, we signed. TFTC.

Driving along the coast, picking up a few caches and exploring the little towns and villages along the way is a great way to spend the day.

This is a sneaky little hide! Views are indeed fantastic, providing you ignore the foreground.

Heading back home to Brissie after spending a few days at the OzGeoMuster, and grabbing a few more smilies along the way.

Found in the first place I looked, but not the first tine I looked there. Some people come here for more than just the views, there was a g-string hanging on a nearby bush

Fangsoki and Pprime (P') and I were on a road trip for Easter to the Mega Event and had a list of caches that we wanted to get while we were away.

We had just found a nearby cache which we had targeted and decided to find this one and enjoy the view

It took us longer than we planned to find the cache but nobody wanted to check the g-String to see if the cache was hidden there. Luckily we found it elsewhere.

We did enjoy the views.

Heading on the Journey South to OzGeoMuster'18 with Fangsoki and Crew153 in the mighty Suzee. Stopped nearby for the Challenge and then wandered up here too. What a lovely spot. The Pacific Motorway doesn't see a lot of the coastline anymore, trade off for being dual carriageway I guess, so it was lovely to get some sea air this afternoon.

For some reason I searched this spot, thoroughly, without seeing it. I may have been distracted by stuff lying nearby. Good thing Fangsoki has the younger eyes.

Thanks for placing this cache, grey team. Found in good condition.
Cool *{Overall find #5650}* Cool
 
29-Mar-18
Pprime, Crew 153, and I decided to trot up the hill and grab this one while in the area.

I was busy taking photos while the others were busy not finding the cache. They did find a... "woman's undergarment" Twisted

Time for a Fangsoki to take a looksee. Sure enough - I find the beast right where the smartphone indicated. It was in good condition. We signed the log and re-hid the cache as found. Some great views here indeed. TFTC grey team Smile
 
28-Mar-18
Have just noticed that I didn't log this find earlier in the year with Richmond Lad - down this way and wandered about this cache. Thanks for your understanding.

Driving past we decided to stop and find this cache. Quick find. TFTC grey team

We ended up here as our chief navigator directed us towards the wrong 'Well rounded cacher' challenge. Coords are a bit off, I think demonstrated by the geotrail to nowhere in the prickly bush.... The views up here are pretty fantastic..... TFTC!

Wow! why isn't this a lookout? Super views - easy to miss seeing the cache though! TFTC grey team.
 
Staying at my parents overnight I decided to go for a walk in the morning and find a cache while I was at it. The views here are great!

I did try for 2 caves but realised when looking for the second that I had read the description wrong and want yet eligible. I thought the challenge one said at least 50 finds in total and that they had to include 5 different types. But reading the logs i realised it was meant to be 50 of each 5 types. Definitely not there yet. And it was going to be my number 600 find. Ah well.

This cache was 599 of the Groundspeak caches. I've found heaps more when you include Geocaching Australia though. Smile

And what a view it is! Kept an eye out for the eagle soaring above but he must have taken his fish and went home. TFTC Smile
 
26-Aug-17
Today we are travelling south from Port Macquarie to pick up a few caches we missed on the coast on a recent loop through Laurieton because we ran out of daylight.
We had decided to walk out to the cache out on the headland before this one and realised when we got there we should have read the description first as it is only accessible from the beach.
This mistake was fortunate however as in the area we spotted a sea eagle soaring to gain altitude and then realised it had a sizeable fish in its talons that it had caught. A spectacular sight. And then we spotted a dolphin frolicking near the rocks on the way back!
This cache location also has spectacular views which we took some time to admire in the fading light.
We were lucky to spot the cache quickly.

Found while taking part in a nearby RFS hazard reduction. This little carpark was the staging area. Luckily the burnoff was not right here.
Thanks for the cache and cheers from Browngang
