Oh my poor back! After multiple flips found the pile. Thanks for the pencil sharpener! TFTF

TFTC- fun find for the kids.

Thanks for a cache

Thought upon first seeing the GZ that this was going to be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But then though, ok, where would I hide a cache. Soon enough spotted a SPOR and made the find. TFTC

After a bit of scrubbing found it. TFTC

good hide for little people. TFTC

Tricky to find. Co ords ?TFTC

Took a while. TFTC

Found lots and lots of rocks, then the right pile! TFTC

Once seen it was obvious but a lot of clambering around on Gard wobbly rock tftc

Enjoying Church Point with the fam, why not pick up the nearby smiley

Found after a brief search TFTC

Found after a short search when we spotted something suspicious. Tftc

Thank you for the cache.

Could not find a parking spot, or somewhere to stop.

The cache was absent on our last visit but was soon found today as I ducked under the concrete and spotted a likely rocky place. Thanks for a good hide and the recent maintenance.

Find#6116Nice hiding place What a epic road trip exploring Australia Thanks for the cache

Out for a Boxing Day walk and decided to look for a couple of caches around Church Point.Arrived at the cache sight and thought this could be a bit of a long slog. Stood back and looked for likely locations and then it all became clear.Thanks for the cache.

Just dropping off a trackable for someone whilst I'm in town.

Cache #57Found it and log signed TFTC

Got the prize with a lot of help from mighty minions. TFTC

Grabbed on a nice night ride to ku ring gai thank you. Very special part of the world down here

I was heading over to Scotland Island today and, having a bit of time to kill before the ferry departure, wandered across to have a go at this one. At first I was taken aback by the, well, abundance of rocks, but soon spotted something that looked a little suspicious and sure enough, there it was. Everything is in good condition. Thanks for the hide.

I am working on clearing my radius from home and while the caches I found today look close in a straight line, it took over an hour and a half driving time.

My second cache for the morning . There were lots of kayakers out on the water but not many muggles walking around because of the weather. I still was unable to get a car park close by though , so I walked down from up the road. The cache was found quickly and in good condition .
Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl

Today we went to see the Church Point. Here great hint. Swift find.
Thanks for the cache.

Ventured over to the Northern Beaches with frazeydaze for a days caching. After collecting information for and AL nearby we walked over to get this cache. It didn't take frazeydaze to long to find a spor and it was CIH . TFTC

Out caching with oldmorty along the Northern Beaches coastline.
Well this was going to be an interesting search.
Got a clue from a previous log and found what we were looking for.
Thanks to exploringdutchman for hiding this cache for us to find.

As I approached the location, I feared the worst, having seen something like this before, and spent half an hour, turning over every single rock. Thankfully, this was not quite the same take as long as I had anticipated. The hardest part of this was getting the lid off the cache container, which had cross threaded. TFTC!

A day around North East of Sydney. What a beautiful area this is; if ever I win a prize in the lottery I will buy myself a house here.
While Mrs. Dozzie was waiting in the car I popped into the parking garage for a quick find. So I thought. Hundreds of rocks were waiting for me to be inspected.
PAF brought some guidance and soon a SPOR was discovered.
TFTC Exploring Dutchie!

Hard at first but found it! Tftc

Thanks for the cache.

Found it after having a good lunch in the nearby area

Chasing cemeteries for an Adventure cache and in the area. Lucked out and got a free parking place nearby! Once at GZ we found the hint distinctly unhelpful. You’ll see why! But we employed a bit of geosense and soon found a telltale sign. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek

Found while on our way to CCE. So many options and the GPS had me close the entrance of the carpark. Checking further away and I sighted the SPOR to have CIH. I wouldn't exactly say this is a quick PAG, but I got it in the end. TFTC

An impromptu picnic had us on the northern beaches today enjoying some beautiful weather while we managed to grab some local caches.

A nice easy find while I was in the area getting the new lab waypoint.

#9253 (5 of 7 today)I am gradually catching up with my logging - I'm missing two months worth or so. And that's over 100 caches! At least my most recent finds are up to date - just need to fill in the gap!To be honest, while I still find searching for caches fun, I'm finding logging less so. But I have to log to get me stats and souvenirs, so...Only a few Adventure Labs and my First2Finds have been written up in a timely manner - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.Nevertheless, I have kept up with my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, I just have to put my mind to my future goals... 25 per day? Owwww.Thanks to all the CO's who have made it possible to keep my goal in sight. Most of the finds have been Traditionals, but a few Puzzle series and the odd other cache type have been grabbed where possible.Sorry the logs are very generic, but I'll never catch back up otherwise.###END OF GENERIC ABJECT GROVELLING SECTION###Ooh, publishing has gone off - but not close, one new cache out Church Point way. Well, I need a few finds today to keep the Calendar Caching Gods happy, so might as well go for it.Got it and a second First2Find near by, a previous DNF and a few others to boot. A good day.###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###Last time I floundered around here. today I pretty much went straight to it.Sigh.Added my ink to the log, replaced and away.Good to finally expunge the DNF.SLTNLNTFTC

Found it with ReverseG and Team Normal on a day trip to the Northern Beaches. Tftc!

Found this with Foreignnebula and Cheese_Pizza13. Interesting hide, nightmare parking scenario but we made it. Thanks for the cache!

Team Normal

Gremlin mode activated for this one. TFTC

Found it!

Found this yesterday. After reading the comments & following some advice, we found it in a matter of seconds. Amazing part of the world. Highly recommend a stroll along the waterfront ️️

Somebody said crawling around like a gremlin worked, so I gave it a try and it did!! TFTC — got a little man with a parachute toy and I left behind a small token for the next person to find this D

found it 10/03, tftc!

I made a super quick find today after lunch nearby with friends. Last time I tried looking I think it was called short by needing to go to the loo but this time I came to the area and checked out the previous logs that said to rely on geosenses rather than GPS and yep that’s it!!! Don’t know how I didn’t spot it last time TFTC this is a beautiful part of the world

TFTC! Kids had fun!

This cache really rocks. TFTC

Quick find’s a good find

Rocks! Kids really dug this one

Found

Oh my, all those rocks! Well hidden, nice work

TFTC.. we were overwhelmed with the rocks

Crawling around like gremlins seemed to do the trick. Back gone out tho

A nice quick cache to find. Very easy..

Good quick find after a nice breakfast down by the water

Attended a wedding at Pasedena last night and returned for breakfast this morning. We had some time to run down on our parking so took the opportunity to grab a coffee from the van nearby and grab this cache. Previous logs helped a lot, would prob have given up without them but was pretty quick in the end. TFTC!

tried to find this one too many times, got frustrated and messaged Greensgonefishing for a hint I was searching the right area. Also brought my muggle friend for a pair of fresh eyes and he spotted it pretty quickly. Just happy to finally know where it is ! tftc

Another calendar find day today... well a lot of days are calendar find days when you're aiming high!
Decided it was time to return to the northern beaches, and thought I'd target Narrabeen / Collaroy. A few DNFs meant I went further afield than that, but I still ended up with seven finds out of nine attempts - with one where I walked away pretty much on arrival (singing a very apt Blondie song as went).

And of course it was all done to an accompaniment of light drizzling rain!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
I really shouldn't have diverted for this one. Felt really conspicuous at GZ and moved too many rocks for no effect.

Gave it up and went elsewhere for my last finds of the day.

this is my third time trying to find it and still no luck, i must be blind. if anyone wants to message me a hint i would greatly appreciate coz it’s starting to frustrate me that it’s taking so long to find

This one was well hidden. Lots of rocks. Tip - pylon

Found it!

Neither the GPS or the hint proved much use. But luckily it was in the sensible spot.

TFTC.

looked for over an hour so i think i’ll try another day coz i feel a bit silly now

I previously DNFd this cache about 2-3 weeks ago purely because of the pure scale of the GZ, and a lack of time available. We were back as we had stopped for lunch right around the corner and I walked over for a second time. I went in with the mindset, the cache has to be easily found by the owner in case of repair and with this I found the cache within a minute. Retrieved the surprisingly larger-than-I-thought container and signed the log. Thanks again for this placement, I really need to get into making this kind of containers ahaha. TFTC!

Nice spot for a walk and cup of tea

After an excellent lunch at Pasadena’s, it was a short stroll to pick up this one. Cache not easy to retrieve but nice spot looking over the water. Thanks

Parked at the 10 minute parking across the road, and walked to GZ. At first we were a bit overwhelmed, but then the geo-logic kicked in and we could locate the cache in one of a few logical locations. To some extent possibly affected by the clouds and the nearby structure, but our Garmin had us about 17 m off the published location.

Fun little one. Great spot.

Hier habe ich fast jeden Stein umgedreht, leider ohne Erfolg.

Easy find on a brilliant blue sky day. I was visiting friends in Terrey Hills and we decided to take a drive to picturesque Church Point. It was only after parking up the hill and starting the walk down that I noticed there was a geocache nearby, and non-GC wife didn't mind as she was taking photos of the water views, 'potential future geocacher' friend says "I'll help you look". Great! Sounds easy .... I thought (how can you go wrong with a hint about rocks?) .... and then I arrived at GZ. After a quick scout around, muggle friend says "why don't you look .....?". Shazam! CIH. I'll have him signed up soon! Off for coffee at the old store. Just brilliant. TFTC exploringdutchman

After a pleasant drive up to Church Point I grabbed a 10 minute park close to GZ and left geodog to mind the vehicle - hey this should be quick, its a D1.5.
OK so I looked at the area - you have to be kidding!!!
How I'm going to find that knowing a previous finder suggested the co-ords could be up to 10m out???

So it was back to the geomobile and moved it to the one hour free parking, only one spot left so I was lucky there. Geodog and I walked back to the GZ area. He did not like the underfoot surface at all. I began to search, hmm, impossible so PAF for help but no answer.

Used my brain instead of the GPS, thinking about how the CO would find the cache if it needed maintenance and found it immediately!

Nice area here, maybe geodog and I will return one day for a walk along the foreshore.

TFTC # 3451

Ignored the GPS this time and went straight for the area we discounted last time. Had the cache in hand in seconds.

Thanks for the cache.

Church Point is so pretty, I’m always happy to re-visit.

When I arrived at GZ my heart sank but a quick scan of previous logs aided CIH

Tftc

OCW the Bebes to clear a few up north. Got to GZ and thought this one could take a while!! Luckily we went straight to the location and found the cache. Tftc

After a nice bush walk at West Head we returned here and got some icecream from a nearby shop so I took advantage of the situation and found this cache.
I was hoping it wouldn't be too hard but after starting a systematic search I went and looked in the obvious spot and found the cache.
The cache was a real P'n'G.
Singed the log and replaced.
I enjoyed the view while having my icecream.
Thanks for bringing me here.

Today we headed down the Wakehurst Parkway to Mona Vale to do some shopping, and collected a couple of new caches along the way. This was the 1st of 2 finds for today.

After finishing our shopping at Mona Vale we took a short but pleasant waterside drive along Pittwater Road to reach this cache, parking the geomobile in one of the nearby 4 hour parking slots just beyond the cache location, then walking back along the roadside to GZ.

Arrived at GZ and braced ourselves for a possibly long, and maybe fruitless, search of sooo many possible "hint type" places. Checked all around where the GPSr was indicating as GZ, then expanded the search and uncovered the hide some 10 metres away. TNLNSL (2TF), and then replaced the nice robust cache container exactly as it had been found. TFTC exploringdutchman.

Find #3151

My word. So many options and a difficulty of 1.5! I think we have been outsmarted by the cache owners and I am sure it’s a lot simpler than it looks. We spend about 20 mins looking. Failed then went for some chips at the cafe. Then came back and searched still empty handed.

Thanks for giving us an excuse to come back to one of the nicest places in Sydney!

#3277 FTF @ 13:42
Saw this one still hadn’t been found so as it was a nice day for a drive, I figured why not give it a shot. Not long after finding a convenient park my heart sank. So many possibilities! But it couldn’t possibly be a D1.5 with what I was thinking. And thankfully I found it before my 10min parking was up. Nicely done!
