Our 3rd day in Nelson Bay and only our first cache!!.
Well it was the "once in a hundred " shocking weather. Continiously on-off-rain and mini gales made it near impossible to venture out prior to finding this cache.
Cache dry despite being lidless.

Great views and a quick find

I had to resort to dropping my glasses so I could an excuse to look and recover the cache. The log is a little damp but still useable.

It is a great view and we watched the yatchs racing on a glorious Sunday.

That was really cool! Totally unexpected! Thanks so much!

Found with Shaneo58 on this warm humid day. Spending a day at the Bay. Nice easy walk to GZ with a quick find, unlike a month ago when there were to many mussles for a find.
Log signed and cache replaced as found.

**Thanks For The Cache** Brown Barbaloots.

This is the 2nd cache of 6 for today making a grand total of 3053 at 9:47:00 AM on Thu 11Mar2021

We needed the date for our date-found grid, so decided on a day at the bay. We used the so-named adventure lab to set our course, and grabbed what else we could along the way. It managed to get pretty warm and very humid, so we've left some of the more adventurous caches for a future outing. We managed 15 finds all up, including a handful of GA virts.
This was a nice spot we hadn't been to before. We checked out the lighthouse (an unusual one) before heading down to the bunker platform to admire the view. Oliver spotted the cache again, I had another hide style in mind so was looking elsewhere. TFTC!

Nice little hiding spot. Beautiful view. (May need a new piece of paper)
 
23-Feb-21
Ms Atalanta and I are on a short break in the Nelson Bay area, looking at scenic things and doing some caching too.
This was the first of a day of intense mosquito attacks leaving me with at least 50 spots where the little buggers had sipped from me. However not here.
If it once had a magnet, it’s now gone and really needs some attention.
View is magnificent.

After over a year of not going out, I wonder why?, we are now on holiday and this is my last of 3 caches to visit today.
Unfortunately it was too well hidden for me today. I had a good look, but must think it was well hidden.

DNF ️
 
06-Feb-21
After a DNF earlier today due to too many people, we returned once the rain set in to find this. Was very well hidden, and led to some very wet knees and clothes. Helps to have a designated finder and umbrella holder in the rain. TFTC

18-Jan-21
First hunt for awhile. It’s either not there or I have lost my touch or I am way out.
 
16-Jan-21
First time we bumped into fellow geocachers who had just found what we were looking for. They kindly rehid and after a bit of a search, we found. Beautiful spot ??
 
16-Jan-21
Took the kids on a beach walk and landed 60m away from the cache, but also 60m wrong elevation wise. Dumped the kids in the playground and found the correct route. TFTC!
 
15-Jan-21
A short search following previous logs soon had CIH. Also very careful to keep an eye out for the resident snake! lots of caches seem to have gone from the area since our last visit. Tftc.
 
15-Jan-21
Oops, hit DNF instead of found! See previous log.
 
13-Jan-21
Nice hide thank you. We walked to the lighthouse for the view and the cache - both were great!
 
09-Jan-21
Caching around the bay today. Dodging the showers, but otherwise good conditions. Lots of great little discoveries and good fun. Thanks to all the owners for placing the caches.

Be careful when searching. After an hour, I gave up because of a snake that was looking at me from under the stairs

We are lucky we had the kids for this one, perfect view of the bay. Have been to the Cafe many times but never down the bottom part so thank you for showing me a part of the bay I have never seen.
 
14-Nov-20
We removed the damp logbook this morning, and put in a fresh new one.
 
10-Nov-20
What nice spot espcially when you come here after the café closed for the day, there was nobody around and the cache was found very quickly. I have a little concern about the damp log which looks like it has black mold on it which isn't very healthy. Maybe the next cacher can bring replacement log.

TFTC.

Thanks Brown Barboloots for a sneaky hide. Thankfully today one of the stairs is closed so I had a private viewing of the serenity and quick find where I thought it might be without muggle interference. Staying in the area again. Was here 3 years ago at Little Beach before this one was published. Going whale watching this afternoon.

Another beautiful day for caching and another great view. For the family. TFTC.i look forward to finding more
