Hidden Waterfall St Ives, New South Wales, Australia

Regrettably, I am unable to continue managing this particular geocache. While I have truly enjoyed participating in geocaching, the upkeep of this cache has become too demanding of my time.

This one keep being tempered with my children. I will need two weeks to replace it with a new container. Please remove for now.

Looked under all rocks. Noting to be found.

Amazing spot, just some comments threw me off track.

Great spot, and a clever hide. Thanks heaps!

So glad I found this one! Didnt take long to find the cache as the satellite was pretty acc. Very cool container and spot except the log book is pretty damp and the container bottom has all dry mud on it.

Hi

Very cool spot, no idea it was here. TFTC!

was missing its camo but mr_siomiak (my uber driver for today) found it under a nearby rock and re-assembled the hideTFTC!!

TFTC. Located quickly because the camo missing. Base of a familiar kind of camo was there but hunting around I could not find the primary camo. Covered cache with some available materials.

Our fifth find the cache wasnt in the correct spot where the hint sreturned it to the correct location

Cool little cache

Wow! What a cool spot!

TFTC

The cache is still in place. It is very well camouflaged. It will be above you. The area had a lot of children and teens finding it. I had to improve the camo to combat replacing it every few months. Good luck

Out for an afternoon hunt in the norther suburbs.

Made a quick find.
SL TFTC

looked for a long time, still couldn’t find it unfortunately. we’ll come back later

The catch was missing a log, so have replaced with a piece of paper I had on me.
TFTC, TNLN.

Came down this way for a Christmas brunch with some friends. So after detoured around to find this one after a short search. Lots of frivolity going on above but I was safely out of sight. Thanks Clan Venter for the hide.

This is find number: 7182
Streak Day: 2553

Found today with Snoopy1976, a quick and easy find. Thanks

Thanks to Clan_Venter for placing and maintaining this cache.

Streak Day #3442 - Over this way with Dave8153 for a quick find to keep the streaks going. TFTC

Found it thanks

Had to replace it again. New camouflage that will be easy for anyone that has done this for a while to recognise. New logbook. No climbing just reach up. Let's see hope it last

I will pop down on Thursday; this one often has muggles mess with it. No climbing need just put your hand up. Stay safe.

Our last find for the day, very pretty location. Found after a brief search but no log book so have taken photo as evidence TFTC

Such a pretty little spot! Found after a short search. Tftc

Found it! In a crack of the rock

Cool spot to put it in TFTC

Still in the right spot and in good order. It is above your head. Made it easy still some champ.

Still some camouflage

After days for rain I have been able to get out. New container, new log same place. This one often gets messed with by kids. New box and log.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.
Contents scattered over a wide area & logbook missing. Not sure where the proper hiding spot should be, so placed behind a rock. Needs a new logbook.

Went for a morning run in the light rain & thought I'd drop by to pick up this cache. Unfortunately, while the waterfall was beautiful, I found the cache container & a couple of scraps scattered over a wide area. The logbook was nowhere in sight. All the bits I found were wet, so I shook them out as much as possible & put the scraps into the container.

I don't know where the proper hiding spot is, so I've placed it behind a rock in the general vicinity. Will write the CO a message to inform of the need to re-hide in the correct location.

Note to next person: Bring a new logbook to fit a small cache & a ziplock bag to go with it.

Lovely after the rain and the waterfall was d flowing

Nice flowing waterfall today. Nice easy find once I got my eyes on the right level. Tftc

Waterfall was flowing nicely after the rain. Cache seems like it could be readily muggled where it is but I put it back where I found it. Tftc

TFTC

Hardly a waterfall today, not much more than a drip. Quick cache find. TFTC Clan_Venter

Quick easy find TfTc

I'd avoided this once before when it had a few DNFs against it. Dropped by today for a fairly straightforward find if your eyes are at the right level. fascinating sandstone formations. Thanks Clan_Venter.

Very sneaky and well camouflaged!!! Proud of myself for the relatively quick find. Some very nice goodies inside for swapping TYFTC

Replaced cache log. Now in slightly bigger container. Clue still accurate.

TFTC. Looked everywhere but couldn't find it this time.

3 DNF in one day, kids extremely disappointed

Our first ever geocache found, it was tricky I won’t lie

Added a little bug to the cache

Found a balloon and marble inside

Nowhere!

Well camouflaged!

Took quite a while but eventually found it, under two overhanging rocks!

Was great

wasn’t hidden- just lying on the rock

Needed a leg stretch on a Covid lockdown Sunday that qualified as exercise. So we parked near the Street Library and hoofed it down here. We weren’t sure what to expect when we headed down the stairs and were pleasantly surprised to find a gentle waterfall. It probably gets pretty serious when it rains. Poked around until we spotted this container which is showing signs of having been outdoors - very rusty. The log is dry but almost full. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek

After an unnecessary turn, the cache was easily spotted. I believe that the container and logbook have to be replaced very soon.
Thanks Clan_Venter for placing Hidden Waterfall!

Don’t have a pen so here’s my photo. I love the stairs down from the road above. TFTC.

Waterfall was flowing nicely after heavy rains,but we needed the clue to find it. Thanks!

Neat little spot. Bit of rust happening. You may need to switch out your case.TFTF

We found the Cache and we loved the scenic waterfall view tf tf

Yupiieee we found it... very beautiful spot to hand around .

With a bit of time to spare before I had to pick up Eagle Eyed Monkey Girl from Gordon station, I decided to find a hidden waterfall.
The place was empty, the waterfall not more than a trickle but the ground was wet and slippery. Despite a clear hint it took me some time to find the cache.
TFTC

Wow ! What a hidden gem. Great spot. Found fairly quickly. Log a bit damp but no problems signing. Thanks for bringing me to this great spot !

Found it!

Very small. But still good to find. Also it's hard to get signal underneath the waterfall. Highly recommend

I came after this cache having read some of the previous comments and expecting that i may be in for a difficult search.
After parking at the bottom of Woodward Pl i shrugged on my raincoat, headed up to the GZ, looked around to see where i should begin looking, and found the cache in the first spot i checked.
I had several ideas of what the clue could have meant and now, knowing what it actually was pointing me to, i can say that all my ideas were wrong.
The container is in decent condition and the log, while slightly damp, is still good.
Thanks.

Great hide! Without the clue could have taken all day!

Being wet a water fall in action always sounds a good place to check out. Arrived to see this was going to be a very short walk in and having read some logs about how tricky this might be was prepared to spend some time hear out of the rain. So walked over, was about to get out the GPSr but had a general glance around for likely spots and there was the cache. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

The GPS struggled at GZ. But there were enough clues in old logs to make the reach for the find.

TFTC.

Thanks

Lovely spot!
TFTC...

After a nice lunch with my parents, I ducked up this way in the pouring rain looking for a quick cache to keep my streak going.

With the downpour, the waterfall seemed to be at capacity, and was roaring sufficiently to drown out any other noises.

I noticed the geo-trail up to the cool little almost-cave and sheltered from the rain a bit whilst searching.

I was starting to believe the previous DNF’s were right, but as I stepped back to think, something caught my eye.

A very cleverly hidden cache, not where I was expecting it.
Along with the cool little location, this earns a favourite point from me.

Tftc.

Looked for ages. Couldn’t find it

All that was found was spider infested rocks.

I found the waterfall but did not find the box or a findable

Another good find with geobuddys Mystic Seer and Chippyddd. Cache replaced in same location, ready for the next geo-adventurers. TFTC TFTH Found on 7/06/20

Awesome hide and cache. Found with Chippyddd and StokesyWa on our little geoadventure. No room for swaps or drops SL TFTH TFTC Cache replaced as found ready for the next adventurer.

Found ICW Mystic Seer and StokesyWA. Great spot for a quick shower under a natural water fall, in the summer time that is. A quick search revealed the cache in good time, admin sorted, replaced as found for the next geo-adventurers.

Interesting cave but did not find. Found a bong!

Thanks Venters!!

Found.

Very clever! TFTC

Nice and easy...once I found the right spot to stand. The terrain rating would rise for anyone shorter than, say...5'5"? TFTC

Checked that all was good after all the rain. Still in same place. all good

Very clever hide and nice location
Tftc

If fondness for spiders is absent then finding the geocache may take a bit longer, but thankfully there is little involvement needed. Stick recommended. TFTC!

Checked and all seem in good order.

The hardest thing for me with this cache was getting there on very unfamiliar roads, I had no idea where I was going. Eventually I reached the end of the road, parked and walked down the 50 steps. At the bottom I looked for a waterfall but it is too dry now so I used the GPS to direct me and had a look around before spotting a small part of the container. After logging, I headed back up the 50 steps, exercise I had not been expecting. Thanks Clan_Venter for a good hide in an interesting place, I liked it.

I needed a find for today to earn the Souvenir for the Farewell 2019.
I parked in Kelvin Street and walked down the stairs to GZ. If you want to avoid the stairs I recommend parking in Woodward Place.
As a approached GZ I saw a bunny run off.
There was only a little water flowing. Please bring on the rain.
I started my search but was having no luck, then I went a little to the left and bingo, a nice little shelf for the cache to be placed on.
I signed the log and placed it all back.
Now for those stairs. They would be OK to climb on a normal day, but it is 40 degrees.

Lol we made that much harder than we needed to! Got there in the end though! TNLN TFTC

Thanks- we rode our bikes down and it was super fun

Visiting from QLD, and having family nearby we took a detour to grab some caches. A few mozzies and creepy crawlers around but the cache was found in good condition. Tftc

TFTC!!!! Took a while but found it. Don’t be afraid.

Great spot

Clever hide in a lovely spot. TFTC

Cool hide!

Today we headed up to Hornsby for some shopping and to complete a couple of long MultiCaches that we have been slowly working on, plus a couple of bonus Traditionals that were close to our intended route. This was the 1st of 4 finds for the day.

Stopped off at this one on our way to Hornsby, parking the geomobile at the end of Kelvin Road and then taking the concrete steps down to GZ. Took a little longer to find than we expected, looking in all the wrong places first, before finally uncovering the hide and having CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. A nice cool urban oasis, with the trickling waterfall sparkling in the morning sunshine. TFTC Clan_Venter.

Find #3488

Found during a short detour on the way to work and after waiting for the muggle traffic to clear from up and down the steps. Many thanks Clan_Venter

Well this was a bit daunting. But after reading Crash and the Vikings logs we realised we should not be crawling round the back of the cave. So we put our thinking hats on and luckily for me it was a simple find.

Thanks for the cache.

Quote a lot more achievable than I first expected, the cache I pretty well camouflaged too! As usual, I forgot my pen. I’m starting to make a habit of it!

TFTC

Expected grief but such a rather quick find by lining up satellite image with landmarks. A bit of a reach and CIH, thanks for showing me this place Clan_Venter

Parked at the top and took the stairs down to the waterfall. Saw the headless guardian of the cave, but realised that was not the cache. Then searched inside the cave thoroughly, but with no success. Finally we looked at a couple of other options, and soon had the cache in hand. Realised that we had made it much more difficult than it really was.
