Really enjoyable multi although we required a bit of assistance at WP1. We did find the coffee and Donuts easily enough and then we found the donut at GZ.Appreciate the multi, FP mizmaz
Found on a very busy long weekend visit. It took some stealth to get the info at the WP, but soon enough we had what we wanted. Off to GZ, via a few other caches, where the very apt container was found in a very apt location. Oh, and we did enjoy the donuts and coffee. TFTC
Well, about my 20th visit here, not DNFs as I could never get close enough to be inconspicuous.Today there were only a few patrons so even ordered a few donuts to give me more time but it was all to no avail.My wife said book into the hotel overnight, that will give you plenty of time in the dark.A bit excessive just to find a cache me thinks.Maybe next time or the time after that and so it goes.Ironbark.
We are almost at the end of a ten-day road trip from Sydney around the Central West. Today were travelling from Goulburn to our last overnight stop in Kiama. For some inexplicable reason, we did not find this on our last visit to Berry in January 2024. Today, it spoke to us quickly. Very cute, location-appropriate container. SL TFTC Cheers Gaztek
So glad to finally have this one completed tonight. Ive been coming to the Berry donut van for around 40 years, so when I first saw this cache, it was one I was determined we would get. However, we were usually distracted by the donuts, and with too many muggles around, we didnt have the opportunity to do so. Coming back from down the coast by myself tonight, I finally had the chance and quickly gather the information at WP1 before heading to GZ. Probably shouldve read the attributes and description a bit more clearly as I spent a little while acting like a monkey up in a tree while dodging huntsman and a number of tree climbing frogs. Eventually came to my senses and explored the more likely hiding spots of which there were many. Maybe it was just because it was dark but it ended up taking quite a bit longer than expected, and it was only as I had decided to give up and request a hint for next time that I spotted the nicely themed cache. Thanks so much for this one, enjoyed every moment of it.
Today's event at South Durras celebrating the world's first Earth Cache at Wasps Head was enough to entice me out for a day's drive. I headed up the highway with a muggle friend and started to work on this multi cache. After gaining the coordinates for the GZ, I searched the area for the cache. It took a little longer than I hoped as there were so many muggles around. Those sweet treats were certainly popular today. After signing and replacing the cache, we moved on to the next one.TFTC mizmaz
Spent the night in Berry on our way from Sydney to the Wasp Head anniversary celebration. We visited WP1 early enough that there was only a handful of muggles who never looked up at us. It took a while before we found what we were looking for. Yay! Made our way to GZ but just couldnt come up with the lollies. A big doughnut for us here. Will watch with interest. Cheers Gaztek
#18808 - 2:33:00 PM; Headed to Kiama for the weekend and stopped off in Kangaroo Valley and Berry on the way through to collect some caches, including this one. I gave this one a try on a previous visit, but the crowds at WP1 prevented a proper search. Light rain today kept crowds at bay and I made a quick grab to gather the information I needed at WP1. Off to GZ and a quick find and sign on a well themed cache container, so a fave from me! TFTC mizmaz
WP1 remade. Thanks to Bonfire7 for saving me a trip and placing it on his way home from a catch up today.
Too many finds skipping WP1. Disabling till it can be checked and/or replaced. Sorry, may be a few weeks.
No luck at WP1, but a little local knowledge and some hints in past logs had me zero in on GZ and I found the cache in the third place I checked. Thanks for the cache mizmaz
With a number of cachers having difficulty finding Wp1, I think it's time for a check please mizmaz.
I had a lot of fun and exercise with this one. I was at the nearby Sport and Rec camp with my school and was given the blessing for early morning walks to town. First attempt to find the numbers needed failed and I had to resort to the Magician App to give me what I needed. Morning walk number two...and I made the awesome find after someone went into the gym and left me alone. I walked up to WP1 to check again for the information I needed, but I still could not find anything.
Fave point for the awesome walks on misty, late winter mornings, the communication from MizMaz in planning the caches for these walks...and the cool link between WP1 and GZ. I'm coming back in a few weeks for the unpublished trig on Moeyan Hill. Berry is beautiful.

After enjoying a coffee and a vanilla slice down the road, I arrived at the posted coordinates but I couldn't locate anything that would assist me. I had a fair idea of what I would be looking for here. I decided to PAf to Rama497 who confirmed my suspicions. I searched again but still nothing. Rama497 gave me the coordinates for GZ. While the geomissus made a beeline for the goodies, I searched for the cache and found it without too much difficulty. Thanks for the geofun mizmaz.

2 days in a row at WP1 for no joy so time to read between the lines for GZ

A dreary Monday after nearby gymnastics saw this on my radar. Mini muffin enjoy the spoils at WP1 while I collected the info. A quick drive to GZ & the cache was in hand. TFTC
Came by to the berry donut van with some friends and noted that the hide at WP1 had come loose.
Gave it a closer inspection and the final coords had also come dislodged, found on the ground nearby as well.
Could not properly re hide this, so had to place it on the ground.
Apologies CO - WP1 here will need maintenance, I didn’t have anything on me to fix it.

Looks like this one needs to be checked. Disabling until I get down there (could be a few weeks).
#1540 Wanting a multi find for the day I came back to this one. I remember searching everywhere at WP1 and having absolutely no luck in finding what I needed to. I came back today to find the area much busier and I also found everything I needed within seconds, what are the chances. Should’ve got a donut when I was there because it only got busier after I went and found the cache. GZ left me with a few options but I was lucky enough to make the find in the first place I looked. Thanks mizmaz for a nice multi that really has you being stealthy
Ocw the Bebes. Got the coordinates whilst waiting for our order of donuts and coffee. Tricky as busy but managed with stealth. Away to GZ and a quick find. Too much sugar for one day! Tftc

Day tripping to Berry.
Stopped in at WP and taste tasted their wares….yum!
Snagged the perfect spot to wait and soon had GZ plotted.
Another fabulous place to visit, have a FP from me for the cute container.

Even though my buddies and I have always considered the BDV overrated, we always somehow make our way back there for a couple of hot fresh donuts. Didn’t know what we were looking for at WP1. Nearly went down a red herring path, when something unusual was spotted - aha!
Coords punched in and onwards to GZ - a part of Berry I hadn’t seen before. Quick find of a funny container.

MMMM Donuts.........
Had been told of this place before hand and were planning on stopping by. Grabbed the info and headed to the next point... BAD IDEA....... Too many of I want some of that and some of this and we should get the kids more of that too etc etc......
Still we found the cache and replaced as located.
Loved the container. Very appropriate.
Thanks for bringing us here.

After a 20 odd minute search at WP1 on Christmas Day I had to ask the CO for a helping hand. Returning today with the acquired intel the data needed was soon in hand. Grabbed a coffee and donuts before moving on to GZ. The search here was fairly short and cache found and logged. Didn’t know about this place so will come back to check it out. Thanks mizmaz for the cache and the help.
I found WP1 after dinner last night. Was feeling a little low when I woke this morning so decided not to do anything. Which I succeed at till around midday. I then decided I needed to do something to stop my eyes from draining me of fluids so went out to find this cache and another. Good distraction for a few minutes.
Nice cache idea. Thanks.
Nice cache idea. Thanks.
In town to have a little look around and spotted this so headed over. The van bought back memories long ago of a night time donut run but that is another story. Plenty of muggles and wondered if we could search at all. Had a good idea what to look for but the sat view and needle had us a little deeper than expected. Waypoint one was a type we wondered about. GZ was soon calculated and off we headed for our final treat. At GZ we soon made the find if the tasty container. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Staying a few days in Berry with the family. Of course wherever we went, I had the geocaching app open to spot nearby caches.
To be honest, I do not understand the hype about those donuts. Warm cinnamon donuts can be bought in many places, like 'donut king' and are just as good. But I guess if you are the only donut place in town, then by default you are the best.
WP1 needed a bit of a nudge from a fellow cacher. From there it was easy and the original cache container was found without a problem.

Tried to get this one a few times but never found the info I needed. Eventually phoned a friend and got a nudge. Don't know how I missed this every time. Thanks for an awesome little multi which took me to a great spot!

Finding the required information at the Donut shop and having a coffee and purchase of Donuts, we were off to GZ.
Another shop location and a quick fine.

Grabbed the first part of the multi while waiting for my lunch order to be read, it was quite a lucky spot to be honest. Drove around town with the adventure lab before hitting the final for this quick find.
Thanks mizmaz for placing this cache.

Our second multi-cache. Since we are new-ish to the game, we had little idea of what was going on. After a quick look at the donut shop, we fiddled with numbers and ate donuts. Arrived at GZ and spotted it all most instantly. Signed and replaced. Thanks for this cool themed multi.

This one has been on the radar for a while but could never get off the ground at WP1. It seems perpetually busy there when it is open although I must admit I have stopped off here for the best part of 30 years myself!
Kicked myself when I did spot WP1 clue and then it was off to a spot I have never visited before- but will now keep on the radar. A pretty quick find at GZ. TFTC!

mizmaz I found your cache Nuts for Donuts on 17/2/21, 5:05 pm. This is my find 2951 and find # 1 today. A quick and easy find at WP1. Then off for the treat. A quick and easy find at GZ. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
I couldn't leave Berry without giving this a proper go ... muggles had got in my way on previous visits. Today, I wandered over to the Donut Van after it had closed and had no problems collecting what I needed there ... yep! GZ was also deserted when I got there (clearly after hours is the best time to do this cache), so no problems at all in finding the nicely camoed hide.
Thanks for an interesting and fun cache mizmaz.

Always love a few donuts and now have a cache find to celebrate!! Two attempts at WP1 and found what was needed, and then a quick drive to GZ. Thanks for this great cache!
In the area completing Adventure Labs and stayed in town last night. After dinner dropped by WP1 to make a quick muggle free find of the required information. This morning after breakfast made our our way to GZ. GPSr was pointing at one spot but then extending th esearch area to the next likely spot revealed the cache. With the cache in hand, we signed the log before replacing it as found. Both the cache container and the log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache mizmaz.
The following TBs came through for the mileage : Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling, Hidden Creatures Geocoin TB, teamMerlin's Football

Yeah found it. First I came down by train and wandered around the area each time we came for some donuts it was absolutely packed felt like captive audience everyone wanted donuts to warm up. Today was different after a trip around the southern highlands on the way home with few people around it was easy to get the info from WP1 and a nice find at GZ
With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache mizmaz

Looked a couple of times, worked out how to find the final cords but clue not legible.
I thought this would be a good one to do while we were in Berry doing the AL here but alas, I couldn't find what I needed to find at WP1 ...there were just too many muggles waiting around for their donut order to be fulfilled for me to do a proper search.
So we had a coffee and donuts here instead, before heading back to our holiday digs at Kiama.

When it comes to planning a caching day, which includes a day off work I'm generally in the lap of the gods when comes to the weather and today was no except..... Forecast temps of 35deg and high humidity greeted me as I headed south for the day.
I'd previously DNF'd this cache but knowing the CO had replaced the container I stopped here where a quick find was made exactly where I looked last time. Unfortuantely the came fell off in my hand. Glad to have completed this one.
Thanks to all the CO's for your caches today. I may not have found as many as I wanted due to the heat but I had agreat day scouring the south coast. Thanks.

Came for a late night driving lesson with the daughter. We quickly had wp1 but once at GZ I could find the cache.
Even though search was in the dark, a PAF call from the Rats sounds like cache is missing at final GZ. Will temporarily disable till I can check and replace if necessary next time I'm down that way.
Didn't find WP1 but, on our 2nd attempt at where we thought GZ would be, we were successful. Of course we HAD to support the local industry. Gets a fab from us.
With social restrictions easing and reviewers agreeing it’s safe to start publishing new caches, I’m re-enabling this hide (subject to ongoing monitoring of the situation). As we get out in the field again, it’s up to all of us to stay covid free so please continue to take precautions while playing the game… for yourselves and others.
Despite warnings to stay home in a global health crisis, I’m amazed at those continuing to venture out and log finds, especially new account holders (evident by 10 or less smileys to unknown names). As a responsible CO, I am temporarily disabling all my hides (urban or remote and unloved) until “social exposure” guidelines are lifted. This is for the safety of the finders, those that follow you and those that think it is ok to venture out because someone else did. Any finds recorded before the cache is re-enabled will be deleted so your risk will have been for nothing. Thanks for understanding and stay safe!
Earlier than expected opportunity to pass through town has this one back online again. Please use extreme stealth, especially at the posted waypoint which has a VERY high muggle factor during business hours seven days a week.
Working locally for a few days, caught up with mizmaz who suggested a lunchtime detour into Berry so she could complete maintenance on this hide earlier than expected. Was a lovely day for a drive and readily agreed to her hidden agenda, even though I hadn’t cached in nearly four years. Thanks for the great locations, story behind the hide, clever camo and briefly lifting the premium status so I could claim the smiley. Nice one to revive my interest in the game.
Knew I should have brought back up maintenance kit with me while passing today. Quick check revealed WP missing & GZ cache in need of some glue. Apologies, but offline till next in town.
A day outdoors was long overdue, so I planned to head down to Nowra for a spot of caching. I teamed up with Bonfire7 for part of the day. Overall, I put a solid dent in my 50km radius with a daily total coming to 45 caches! Thanks To The Cache Owners for their contributions to the game.
I struggled locating the required information at the Posted Coordinates. I made an educated guess as to the whereabouts of Ground Zero. Thankfully logic paid off and I had Cache In Hand with no complications. Thanks For The Cache MizMaz.

Doing a little bit of caching today Brough me here. Never been but now that I’m her I’m going to check it out. I love doughnuts . TFTC
Tftc - struggled at WP1 eating donuts and searching with a lot of muggles to contend with. Help from CO and we had info in hand. A quick drive to GZ and oh my god, more sugar for the kiddies. I’m in trouble this afternoon. A fav point from us
Found with nissan 65. Had no idea what we were looking for at given Co ordinates so after speaking with CO we soon had required info to get us to GZ. I didn't realize how busy this place is so early in the morning. After a quick find at GZ it was time for Coffee. Thankyou Mizmaz for a great little multi. Fav point
Decided to do a quick drive after work tonight while it was quiet. Thank you for this delicious little adventure. TFTC
Really liked this one actually! Needed a goal for our driving lesson today and the daughter indicated she didn't mind a donut so of we went. As we were early I had hoped it would be still quiet at wp1, but it wasn't. While daughter stood in line I was able to sit on the wall and have a unsuspicious look around. When I turned and leaned on the wall I spotted the coords. Liked the fact that all was in theme! Was not sure weather this double sugar waypoint was so good for my diet, but hey it is Sunday, who cares!

Unlike Bonfire I didn't put my hand on the numbers but reading your & Bonfire's notes, concluded where GZ is. Unfortunately no where to park within cooee & heavy rain made alternative boggy so will have to pick my time. I like to try & solve multies etc at home so see if this one is as guessed.
Called in on the way home & my guess was correct. Nothing like a bit of local knowledge. Container in theme. Camo has a snail as a passenger.
Thanks for another case solved without getting all the details.

Being a great lover of the donut I quickly made my way to the well known posted coords here I needed to wait out the hoards attracted to the sweet sweet treats,once the coast was clear I went in and lucky to find the WP at first spot I placed my hand,here my temptations were stong however I needed to move on!
I shortly arrived at GZ....OMG now im in heaven!I didn't know about this before.
Here a made a quick find,honestly I couldnt of made it quick enough before getting myself in there!
A very sweet themed multi,well worth a fav point
Thanks mizmaz for the cache
