Really had to lock in for this one
 
12-Jun-24
While on this side of the continent visiting the friendly neighbourhood ogre, I was keen to collect up a few smiles, and the fine day today seemed like a great opportunity to do so. Shrek dropped me near GZ and then proceeded to do a lap of the block while I made the find, although he had to wait for a bit when he returned because I took longer than expected to complete my task. Log is indeed full, but a K is not hard to etch in a gap. Thanks for the find, and bringing me to this spot Wnka - a place I've passed by countless times but never stopped to take in the great view.
 
29-May-24
Nice view, log book needs to be updated as no space. Bison tube ring getting rusty as well
 
29-Apr-24
Got it.
 
26-Apr-24
Tracker was telling me to Jump the fence! Refused to do that so just read the hint carefully!
 
15-Apr-24
What a great view! Have been here before but it doesnt hurt to come back and revisit. Coord led me straight to it and I had to feign tying my boot laces to nab it. TFTC.
 
01-Apr-24
What a great view, ordered lunch down the pub and walked up to get it while lunch was being made. TFTC

Easy find down quite low
 
12-Mar-24
Nice easy find and a beautiful view. A woman stopped to take a picture right in front of the cache and I thought she might be hunting as well, but if so she decided to come back when I wasn't there

Great cache find with the kids today! Lovely spot and on a sunny day too SmileFirst intro to Geocaching for the kids!Thanks for the cache!
 
25-Feb-24
Couldnt find with the GPS or clue then ignored those and found it
 
03-Feb-24
I had found the previous one, and wondered why it had disappeared from the app.... Ahhh now I know. Thought I knew all the good look out spot but... This is a beauty. Thank you for bringing me here.
 
28-Jan-24
Very easy find!! The coordinates were off telling me to jump the fence and go into the bush, i still kept looking where I was and found the cache in plain sight. The lookout was temporarily closed but I still found a way in
 
05-Jan-24
Lovely lookout. My GPS was a bit off, telling me to climb the fence into the grassy area. I ignored this and persisted looking and suddenly spotted it. Happy days. TFTC and showing us this great lookout.
 
24-Nov-23
Windy and slightly rainy however working in my favour due to lack of muggles. You definitely dont need to climb the fence! Next time Ill look better in the first place TFTC
 
19-Nov-23
Wow! Top view from there. RFTC

#12962 8:15An early start for day 2 of our caching weekend. Having breakfast at Terrigal I was surprised to see so many people already being (hyper)active so early on a Sunday. Closeby, this was the first cache of the day and with CIH we enjoyed the fantastic views over the area. Great lookout point!TFTC Wnka

Fantastic location love this spot, quick find with pretty much spot on coords.

Out walking, no pen. Gorgeous views along the beach. TFTC

Beautiful view TFTC
 
14-Apr-23
Did it with some friends it’s not where we expected it to be hiding but it was found
 
09-Apr-23
Found it eventually after a long search. TFTC. Cache number #800
 
21-Mar-23
Having found the previous cache here, we were sad to see it had to be archived - but also knew we had to come back to find the replacement. Initially searched the old location before realising the coords pointed elsewhere The correct ground zero was soon located and the cache quickly found. Signed as from MrsCowell23, Laimelde, and the mini-cachers. Thanks!
 
21-Mar-23
Found it! We were looking in the wrong spot as we'd assumed it was in the same spot as a previous cache that was very close to here, but once we checked the coords again it was a fairly easy find. Stunning view, even on this overcast day. Thanks!
 
17-Feb-23
Ms Atalanta and I were up this way for a weekend, and set off to find this cache. After some fruitless searching, we looked again at the clue. It was a cunning hide but the clue certainly helped. TFTC

Find #1767

Hahaha this took us longer than it should’ve but luckily got a park nearby. And a gorgeous day for geocaching. Good thing 3ferrets has eagle eyes. I think we deserve an ice cream.

Container in good condition. Log book dry. TFTCSL Thanks for placing Wønka
 
12-Feb-23
Well…. Won’t say that was easy with the king grass but after 10 mins it was found. Great view! Tfthsl
 
13-Jan-23
I came up to the Central Coast today to persue a couple of my hobbies, ending the day caching around Terrigal.
I'm sure I've been here before, maybe for the previous cache when it was misty/foggy and there was no view.

Today I was worried with it being a beautiful afternoon there would be no where to park the geomobile but the caching gods were smiling and I found a spot very close to GZ.
There were muggles sitting at the nearby table but the cache is far enough away that they were no problem.
The cache was a really easy find as I spotted it while being a photographer.

After walking around Terrigal we took a small diversion up this way on our way back to the lagoon. Found with i_halfpint. Geosense led me to the find. Wasnt sure the hint helped at all. TFTC and yes stunning view.
 
26-Dec-22
Found it this time around! Great view as usual!
 
07-Nov-22
Defeated by the long grass today. After what seemed like an age looking I texted a friend who confirmed I was both looking in the right place and the right thing that I had in mind, but it seems there’s been a lot of grass growing along the fence line in recent weeks. I tramped and trimmed several metres of it without success. After multiple bindies in my fingers I’d had enough. I will return, and in greater numbers - the kids can do the weeding next time Wink or maybe I’ll bring the whipper snipper ha ha
 
20-Oct-22
What a view!
Coming to Terrigal for work, tried this cache on my way back. Quick finding!
Thanks Wønka for placing Three Beach View!

I have been to this location previously for the the other cache. Today was a super quick find for this new one as there were no muggles around. TFTC
 
13-Aug-22
Couldn’t find. There is a lot of grass growing
 
24-Jul-22
Found 1:43 pm with fiancée. I’ve been here before for a cache. But the cache I think was in a different location back then and someone was sitting at the table and bench so it made looking almost impossible. They were quite settled. So I never actually found it then giving up because they just didn’t look like they were ever going to leave. This time arriving near GZ a couple were near the table but GZ itself is not right there anymore so I wandered past them. And moved up. Then looking at the compass noticed that it looked like the other side of the fence, pointing 7m and I was like 2 away from it, but fortunately at the same time I spotted the cache. Now I am not quite sure of the hint. But luckily the grounds had been maintained.
Retrieved the cache log whilst the lady from the couple did seem a bit curious as to what I was doing, signed the log, and then returned to its location. It is a good viewing spot.
Thanks for the cache.

The eldest is at a Joey's night at the local Marine Discovery Centre so we took the opportunity to duck over to this cache.

A nice quick find at GZ while admiring the view. Nice that the council have utilised this odd patch of land between the roads. The view was nice, and I bet it would be even better with the sun up.

Thanks for the Cache!
 
14-Jun-22
Couldn't concentrate with that view. Unreal. Found eventually. TFTC JenneG and Budgy. North Nowra.

Gotcha - Found easy enough. Tftc
 
09-Jun-22
Nice to grab this one for the second time. Thanks for replacing. Always a nice view. TFTC!
*Editing to add that coordinates are very accurate and help with locating cache due to long grass. Great cache to find in the morning and a great view of the sun rising.
 
04-Jun-22
Lovely spot for a cache. I locked on to it pretty quickly. Tftc
 
29-May-22
Great spot. Saw some dolphins too TFTC
 
19-May-22
I've driven past this cache a few times since it was published without being able to score a parking spot but this morning, after having to go to Erina early, I got lucky. My GPS never told me I was closer than 4m from GZ but at its lowest reading, I was able to zero in on the cache and make the find.

I remember the view here from a previous geo-excursion and its still just a striking ... thanks for bringing me back Wonka.
 
18-May-22
Went searching where the original cache was and had no luck then took the better approach and used the co-ordinates and hint. Thanks for a great little challenge in a top spot
 
16-May-22
Well...
found what I think it was hidden in. No log or cache. Assume based on description it has been removed.
 
15-May-22
A rather quick and easy find despite a few nearby muggles. Found with eemiaj, signed log as BE5150. TFTC
 
15-May-22
Took a bit, but the grass grows quick
 
10-May-22
Waiting for the rain to clear so that I could go and do some work gave me the opportunity to find a cache or two. Armed with an umbrella and gumboots I set off for GZ. Accurate coordinates made it an easy find despite being obscured by a large amount of grass from recent mowing.

#8853 (5 of 11 today - including 2 Adventure Labs)

I am terribly behind in my logging. It's getting close to five months since I regularly reported on the caches I've found. YIKES! Well, at least I'm currently only 3 months behind.

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...

In this time only the Adventure Labs found and my First2Finds have been written up - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.
But I've been busy finally getting ready to move into our new house - now in and I'm still coming to terms with the extra room/rooms!

But I did still try to find time to cache on the days that my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day demanded I find something. 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, but somehow I expect that will eventually prove too hard as I have to travel a good distance if I want more than a cache a day.

Anyway. thanks to all the CO's who are getting short shrift from my generic logs. I hope to eventually get back to them and flesh them out, but no promises.
I've found some fun Traditionals and solved some interesting, but not impossible puzzles. And Multis and other cache types have been grabbed where possible.
###END OF GENERIC ABJECT GROVELLING SECTION###
Up to the Central Coast - which I've been neglecting lately - to grab enough finds to satiate the Caching Gods. Nine physical and two ALs seemed to do the job. I even picked up some puzzles I'd solved a while ago.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
If I have any specific cache comments I'll add them here. Don't hold your breath, though.

Nice easy find this morning at 550am. Still a beautiful view. TFTC

We parked near GZ and walked back down the hill to search, Terrigal itself had little parking with the hordes of tourists. I admired the view then saw the cache, which I logged under the umbrella. Thanks for a good hide at definitely one of the better lookouts around here.
 
28-Apr-22
With a bit of a break in the rain and nothing else planned, I headed across to Terrigal for another attempt after getting an extra nudge from the CO. After a little bit of searching in what seemed an obvious spot where my GPSr was consistently saying was some five metres north of GZ, I decided to let it have its way and moved my searching south, whereupon I immediately spotted it. Excellent coordinates, if only I'd looked there in the first place!

Actually it was the hint on the cache page that threw me, as it's an expression I'm not familiar with (I'm probably too old) and my Googling revealed something for the missing word that's the exact opposite of where the cache turned out to be. Oh well.

I timed it well as I drove into persistent rain again on the way home. Many thanks for the hide and good to see another new one on the coast.

[FTF] with Golden Queen. On a whirlwind trip from Canberra. Now we head home. This was a real bonus. Great lookout !
 
22-Apr-22
For some reason I didn't get the email notification of this one when it was published but only noticed it when I was checking out something else. With a bit of a break in the rain I headed over. I had a good hard look in where I thought it would be from the hint but no joy so I guess this is another FTDNF on one of the CO's hides. I've sent him a message but now it's starting to rain again so will leave it for another day.
