DNF. Has it being moved?

DNF went here earlier this year and found it, but it's not here no more, the area looks like it's been cut so I think someone could have found it and put it in the bin maybe

DNF

Searched for awhile! Hopefully we can get an update soon.

Pretty sure it's been taken

.

Got it!

Thanks for the adventure!

It was a quick find here and then a look around at some of the older gravestones and a read of the plaque. TFTC

Found it!! Took a while though. Follow our tictok page to check out our journey- Aussie_geocache

Yay!! First geogache found!!

First Australian cache find, slightly hesitant to lift rocks or check in hidey holes, but a nice find. Thanks

Found it

Found it almost fell tho lol

Still hear, almost gave up on it but found it, smart location, 11/4/2021

Good location, definitely not micro though.

I had visited here before and had a DNF, apparently the cache had gone missing at the time, and was aware it was in a new spot. Some bikers were cleaning up next to the 'driveway' a bit closer to the road, I suggested to my wife we have bit of a look or walk around, you know try to not act suspicious straight after driving up. Maybe try to look sadly at some grave, even though I was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. My wife was nope, let's find the cache. It's hidden pretty simply, but did take a little bit of a search. My wife was suggesting spots and even said "That's not a micro!" when I showed her the cache container. Sheesh for a non-geocacher she sure acts like a cacher sometimes haha. Signed log and replaced as found. NB I'd kept an eye on the bikers and they hadn't showed any interest at all in us. Glad to turn that into a ! TFTC!

Quick find, TFTC

Cooranbong caching. Cheers for the history and cache

Great way to honour someones memory

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 10842.

Heading down to Parkrun this morning and realised I hadn’t found a cache yet this month. We were running a bit early so decided on a detour to this one. Location found really quickly and I was very careful with the wire not to cut myself as I retrieved it.

Thanks Travelling Sister for the cache.

Easy find

Tftc

No items

Easy find, thank you

After our first night at Casuarina campground, we headed out for a day of geocaching. This one was the first one for the day. Found it a few meters off the listed coordinates, and also noted that the size is rather small than micro.

found it

TFTC,
The location of this is a bit different to the usual in terms of a School being nearby.
Nana nel made the find while I was looking a bit away from GZ.
Visited trackables.

We love doing Mary MacKillop caches , when saw this one we had to go and find it. If I had knew the size was not a mirco, I would have left a trackable. Stamped log and replaced. Thanks to Travelling Sister.

Tftc travelling sister, another tribute to the amazing Mary McKillop.

Found with Shaneo58 doing some caching around Wollombi and the Watagans.

Found it after a short search

Nice out of the way place. TFTC

Thanks guys, the first one we found!

Another DNF for today. Had a thorough look, did some climbing and muggle avoiding. I'll have to come back

.

DNF for this one with Shaneo58, we had a good look (about 20 mins) all around GZ, also looked at previous logs for hints. noticed a new location, does this need checking?. Travelling Sister.
Attempted to find this at 3:29:55 PM on 16May2020

Spent almost 20min trying to find this cache but no luck even after just being enabled. Try again later.

Sjhrjh will move shortly

G'Day

I'm sorry, but your recent move has brought your cache too close to the Traditional Cache of[GC41R3D: Épée](http://coord.info/GC41R3D) and will need to be moved. Please read the following item on [Cache Saturation](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachesaturation)

I've disabled this listing for the time being, could you please move it to a new location that fits within the saturation guidelines. Once that is done you may enable the cache.

Rgds,
Matt - Ministro.

Cache moved and replaced. Thanks sjhrjh

We have travelled up from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, staying for a couple of nights in a park cabin at the Lake Macquarie Big4 Tourist Park in Mannering Park, to continue with our caching adventures on the Western shores of Lake Macquarie. Our previous visit to the area was in March/April 2018 for the OZ GeoMuster 2018 Lake Mac Mega Event, where our family’s chief puzzle solver had managed to solve (unassisted) a good portion of the Mega GeoArt puzzle caches that were on offer. And this new visit will hopefully see us complete most of the missing pieces of that Mega GeoArt, thanks once again to our family’s chief puzzle solver’s (unassisted) puzzle solving efforts.

No luck for us at this one today. Searched the obvious spots but failed to find anything cache-like.

I did multiple searches back and forth and around GZ, and did everything to find the cache short of actually trampling on the individual plants. Was relatively muggle-free so had ample chance to really get in there. But I just couldn't find the cache. Thinking about it now I was making a couple of assumptions - that it was larger than a micro and most likely like what is seen in the photos, and that it wasn't up a tree. Other than that I really had a good look.

I did find a painted rock, I've been finding heaps of these lately, in varied locations like ACT and Lismore, not sure if this is exposing geocaches more to youngsters and/or confused parents. I also note that this cache was having reasonably steady finds until about a month ago, maybe it has been removed?

Maybe the CO could check the cache if they are living nearby? Thanks for the hunt all the same! Cheers!

Yes

Interesting spot. Thanks.

Found it with some help from a lovely stranger

Not as small as we expected. TFTC

Not covered very well.signed and covered better.

Found with bedlem2

Needed a cache and this was handy. Madrabitoh had the gps, and I was tagging along behind her looking for gz, when I saw it. It took her another 5 minutes with gps to find it. We covered it a little better today.

A quick find with GeoIain, which he spotted before I did! Thank you for this cache in memory of Australia's first saint.

This was another of the caches we found while on our way through Cooranbong with ilook4geo. It was an easy find and the signing duties were soon done to keep the system in order. All was put back in place with the camo being a bit better arranged. The container and log were both found to be on good order. Thank you to Sjhrjh and Travelling Sister for placing this cache to make a nice easy find.

Another nice quick and easy find while in the Cooranbong area with goingplaces2. Found and signed at a quiet time of the day. TFTC.

Went walking to find NSW rocks and came across the container, left a painted rock.
Great idea didn’t know about geocatchint until I came across the letter

This was an awesome spontaneous find this morning as we had never heard about this before now.. Kylie May and Cassie

Found

Sneaky!

Found and replaced for next geocacher. Not too hard to find just need to watch out for muggles that might be nearby.

Found a while ago tftc

Found and left a token. Tidied up the area.

Found and tidied area with WP0731

A bit tricky! Loved it.

Thanks, good spot, was looking for a micro, but easy when you read past logs and see it is bigger.

Thanks. Great Cache!

First find of 2019! Out on a lovely day on the way to the shops. SL TFTC!

TFTC. Hot caching day.

Quick park and grab early in the morning
Thanks for the cache

A nice bike ride out and an easy find (though its not a micro) TFTC

A hidden gem! Thanks for sharing!

??

As a Geography teacher I have often geocached, however I decided it was time to get my 5yr old into it. This was his first find - and ‘all on my own’! A great experience and now (even after just one) he is hooked

Found with Beary_Unicorns on a sunny Sunday afternoon, tftc

Found some time ago but didnt log on to computer

Would be creepy at night lolol

Callie 23/10/18

TFTC. Slightly creepy to approach in the night from cemetery side!

Went for a night cache was a bit eerie. Much spiders. Replaced as found TFTC

With nicer weather we decided to go for a drive and find a few caches within my 30KM radius. I got out and made a quick find whilst everyone else stayed in the car. TFTC

Found it! Good one!

Took a bit of looking with no clue, nice one.
