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. Located the box quickly in the anticipated place, and as I retrieved and logged, 3 overly keen magies can running up to get some of my picnic. They even gave me a good little warble to ask, but then seemed highly disappointed there was no picnic to be had, turning their back on me. For Shrek and I though, we saw the opportunity for a coffee break, so enjoyed the next little while lapping up the sun and view. Thanks for the hide that brought us here Wnka
Found it! But I needed a stick to drag it because it was way too far in. Also, I didn't write my name on it because the paper wouldn't come out, needs to be replaced
Nice easy find. Lovely location but again I forgot my pen so picture for proof of find
And a great spot on a beautiful day! in Australia for our 50th anniversary. Hoping to get our 10,000 find over in this beautiful country. Thanks for the hide
Visting our daughter and her host family for one day, early in the morning I walked on the beach. On the way back I looked for this cache and grabbed it quickly. Thank you for showing this nice place and greetings from Germany
We come here often to walk along the beach but hadn't noticed there was a cache here before! A nice quick find, TFTC
Working close to this one, although being 1km as the crow flies, thus found in the first place I looked, initialled mc in the logbook, thanks for the hide
Took the opportunity to take the geopup for a quick 'walk' while an urgent use of the loo's was happening. Love how she's my little accomplice to cover my sneeking aside, 40m from the carpark here wasn't much of a walk but I think she's as happy as me to get out the car when we can! A very hand cache hide here, quickly located but tucked away nicely. Log was quite full but found a gap in the middle. Thanks for the cache!
Good easy find. Squeezed our name onto log, it really does need replacing.
Great hide!! Took us a few minutes to find it. Log is full, will need to be replaced at some point.
Unfortunately we forgot our cache pack and was unable to replace it ourselves.

Found it! There were muggles at GZ as I drove up, but they left by the time I parked, allowing me to make a quick find. Thanks!
Find #1766
Out with 3ferrets today and driving past. Stopped for a nice quick find with no muggles in the park.
Container in good condition. Log book dry. TFTCSL Thanks for placing Wønka

Stopped here for a quick find while some or our members were at the movies. A quick search around and then we checked a spot we have seen utislised before.
We tried to head up north after this bit the traffic was at a standstill. Not sure if that is normal for a Friday arvo nor not.
Thanks for the cache!

Relatively quick find at 11pm after my friends band from newy was playing a gig at the cafe/SLSC very close by. Luckily no muggles around at this time. TFTC!!! #2015
While waiting for someone to finish up at the physio nearby I decided it was as good a time as any to find a cache. I made the 4min drive found the cache in 30 seconds and drove back again in under 10mins. A super quick find in a nice little spot! I wish I had time to go for a dip in the ocean here, it looks very refreshing, as did the icecream truck parked nearby haha!
Thanks for a great cache!
Thanks for a great cache!
Found it and pretty quickly actually, my sister also keeps finding them to fast without letting the others look
TFTC. Kids are having fun.. getting a little competitive but enjoying it thank you.
Nice hide, found after a dip in the ocean on a glorious aussie day! Thanks for the cache ️
Fun spot for a sneaky find amongst muggles.Logged with [GCDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gcdroid).
Up for a family visit. Nice spot for a picnic but not today. Last signed 27/9. Thanks Wønka.
We are on a five day holiday to the Central Coast, staying at the NRMA/Big4 Ocean Beach Holiday Resort (caravan Park) in Umina Beach. Looking to do some of the many Central Coast Adventure Labs, visit some previously solved Puzzle/Mystery cache GZs, and to collect any other caches we come across during our daily travels. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base.
Today we visited Gosford, Wamberal, Forresters Beach, The Entrance, Norah Head, Noraville, Lake Haven, Woongarrah, Hamlyn Terrace, and Warnervale. Completed an Adventure Lab and collected a variety of other caches, including an EarthCache, a MultiCache, a Virtual cache, and numerous Traditional caches. This was the 3rd of 25 finds for the day (day 3), and 33rd find of the holiday.
Arrived at a deserted GZ and swooped in for a nice quick find in the first place we checked. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. It's too early for a picnic, so we headed off to our next cache target. TFTC Wønka.

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.

Soccer mums had their phones and purses at gz while playing with their kids in the park so I could not zero in on this one.
Caching around Gosford and Woy Woy today, weather is perfect and a great day was had.

Hi everyone, quick update
With cases on the coast I was afraid the virus would spread through contact of my caches and that people would be bored and break restrictions to find caches outside their area (I know I’ve found most of the caches in the area I’m limited to) which is why I disabled them. I disabled them once I found out a Sydney-sider came to the coast to do some caching during restrictions illegally.
I’d like to thank Coasties for following restrictions and not letting it get out of control here. With that in mind and the Central Coast no longer classified as greater Sydney for covid restrictions, I’ll re-enable all my caches within the next week. I’ll just do a quick checkup on all of them since I haven’t checked them in a few months.

From 6pm today the Central Coast is in lockdown.
While I understand you can still go out and exercise (and presumably Geocache) I will be temporarily disabling all my caches for the 2 week lockdown.
I’m doing this purely because if an infectious person find one of the caches and another Cacher comes along they could become infected from the previous finder.
I hope you understand and that this is only for 2 weeks (or until lockdown ends if extended)

I’m back working in the area and I noticed Wonka has replaced this cache so I’m looking to turn my blue face into a Smiley
I parked nearby, and having a very good idea of where to look I went straight to GZ, however, GZ was being guarded by a beautiful Kookaburra, who was looking for a morning feed in the grass.
I was careful not to disturb him and soon had CIH and after performing the formalities I replaced as found. Oooo gotta love signing a nice crisp new log.

I’m driving from Bateau Bay to Terrigal and figured I’d grab a few caches on the way.
I first tried to grab this cache around lunch time but was unable to as a Muggle and his dog were set up on the table doing work on his MacBook. So I figured I’d do a few caches around Terrigal and get back here later today.
On my second visit the coast was clear and thought this would be a quick find.
I searched the entire structure, and going off previous logs and images should be an easy find, but came up empty handed.
The CO had been in touch with me about another of his caches and I mentioned that I think this cache has been muggled out.

Second cache of the day. Found easily as it may not have been in intended location.

A beautiful day for a visit to Wambie, a dog-friendly beach. Soaking up some sun, having a swim and of course a picnic!
And to finish it all off a cache next to the car park. An easy find as the picnic spot was not occupied by anyone.
Thanks Wonka!
