Called in out of curiosity with all the dnfs lately. I live in the neighbourhood, so thought "why not?". To my surprise, the cache is patiently waiting for it's next find. Quite visible from GZ. It was a bit damp, but with the right-in-the-rain logbook, it was soon dry and ready to go again. Cheers.

WowMuch to the dogs dismay, we spent 20 minutes at this platform in fairly crap weather, trying to turn the frown upside down. The only good thing about the weather was no one interrupted the search. Alas, it was not spottedTime to get some fish and chipsThanks for the tricky cache We will be back

Cant find anything. Searched for 15 min

Unfortunately did not find this one either.

Noted the place it should be. No cache = no luck.

No luck for us today. Searched for 10 minutes and then searched a little more. We did d locate a nail that was what we guessed was GZ. Thanks for bringing us here regardless.

No luck for us. Nice view.

Found on my second attempt

We're back and hoping to rid this cache of its blue frown from last year. On such a windy day the beach was deserted so we didn't see the muggle till she was there. 'Lost something?' she says. We didn't like to go into just how lost this cache has been to us so just said we thought we saw something. Not so much a lie as a wish. Soon after we did find something. We couldn't get the lid off with our fingers but we had some things in the RV that did get it undone. I was glad the muggle didn't make a return and see us with tools as I don't know how I would have talked us out of that. TFTC Tatt2squared.

Tftc needed a clue from CO, thought we looked everywhere but it was the one tiny spot we didn't check. Unable to open the cache to sign. With red_ear_slider

Found after a helpful hint from CO, unable to open after significant force. Found with Portstevo

Hi Tatt2squared,The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 4 weeks) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt

The cache is still there... do I need to up the difficulty?

No reason to disable the cache

Tried for this one yesterday, but had muggles bugging me. Had to use the excuse I dropped my glasses twice
Will come at a different time of day next time and hopefully won't get interrupted

Oh well- couldn’t find it either….

Coming back to try this one again

We have made three attempts at this cache and was hoping for a "third time lucky" smilie but have come up empty handed again. We must be suffering from caching blindness or it is extremely well hidden. Never mind, will have to remain as a blue frownie on the map.

With some help from the CO we found this one easy enough once we were in the right area. Had to be careful as this is a high muggle dog walking path.... such a lovely area leading up to a great beach and views.

Managed to get open but will need a new seal, message and photo has been sent to CO.

Thank you Tatt2squared for placing and maintaining Rainbow Beach Views for us and others to find!

Visiting from WA and thought we would catch a few caches in the area. No luck with this one this morning, may have to ask for help....

This one was too good for us today. Will certainly be returning to try again another day.

After a little tip from the CO we realised we were looking in the wrong area. Little overgrown but easy spot once we looked in the right place. Sadly were unable to open cache but photo sent to CO. Thanks for the assist Tatts2Squared.

We looked and looked. Is it still there???

We must be too amateur. Looked for about 30 minutes but gave up.

Couldn’t spot today!

In the area, thought we might check on this cache before the cache police put a needs maintenance on it. Cache is still there.

Just couldn't spot it.. a beautiful location and lovely walk to get there though so not a complete loss.

I have increased the difficulty rating here after so many DNF's

DNF searched a while before busy found a plastic tube which had no end don't think that was it possibly this cache needs maintenance... Sad we will miss our 100 cache milestone today because we can't find this one.

Yeah, there’s a good chance that it’s still there but we couldn’t find it. Still, it brought us out to somewhere we didn’t know existed.

Exclusively doing tatt2squared caches today because we like them so much. Thank you for making each one that little bit different. This one didn’t have us fooled. Thought we knew what we were looking for here but unfortunately the hide was too good for us. High muggle area.

Checked on this after a DNF while we were in the area... cache still in play, all good

Had a pretty good look. It got too busy.

Now that the restrictions have eased around the state, time to go caching again. Stay safe everyone... remember to enjoy the little things.

Disabling until socially acceptable to continue with caching. Stay home everyone, stay safe.

Found with Gum62 and BEK76 TFTC

Decided to make a few quick finds on my way out of town after visiting my parents.

Didn't end up being very quick. Haha.
AND, guess who forgot their pen! Sadly, yet thankfully, there were plenty of burnt leaves for me to at tremor signing it with charcoal. Photo evidence sent to CO.

Sadly the views were obstructed by fire smoke smog.

#225. Spot of caching while on holiday. TFTC

DNF from us today.

In the area and thought we should check on this after a DNF. All is well, cache still in play.

We had a good long look for this one with no luck. After a while an old fellow came past on his way to do some fishing down the beach and we ended up having a good old chat before moving on.

Wow! That took a while. The clue was spot on, we finally got it!!!

Very sneaky!! Took 7 sets of eyes to find. Thanks Tatt2squared

Today we thought we would take a drive south to locate this new cache. At the same time have a look at Browngangs new house.
We certainly didn't know this delightful track was here that led to a lookout with great views of the beach & the many walkers enjoying their walk.
It took a little time to find, before we spotted the cache exactly as described in the hint.
A FP for showing us a new location.
Thanks for placing this cache Tatt2squared

Found just as a heavy shower was bearing down. Thank you Tatts!

Sorry for the late log. We found it the day of publication but didnt have a pen, so living very close by, left it for another day. Every time I walk along here I think about the best type of cache to place here somewhere, Oh well beaten to it.
There used to be a cache here many years ago before the area was developed. It was a mint tin in a log and rusted away. Needless to say that we love the place too, Cheers from Browngang

Found at 2:24 PM GAFF1.
I initially was going to approach this cache by driving along the beach from Middle Rock Rd beach access ramp, but then remembered that there is a closer approach from where Browngang have built their humongous home that can be seen from the moon! Last time we visited we were shown this beach lookout and even commented on how it was a very suitable spot for a cache.
Today I looked around - strictly looking at 1.5/1.5 type of places and was pleased to have found a nicely placed cache in such a D/T type of place [^]
Thanks Tatt2squared.
Feedback: Gets an FP for the location.
