Taking a break as I don't have the time to complete needed maintenance at the moment.
Searched the area thoroughly but the cache eluded me. Will the owner please check to see if it is in place.
Coordinates were good for me today and as i was signing the log it said 1m. I looked in some other places before finding a clue.Thankyou for placing and maintaining the cache series and allowing me to discover a new area.TFTCGeneric overly-detailed summation of the day:Weather report: sunny and clear, not really any windCaching conditions: muggles all preoccupied with Anzac day, GPS satellites talking nicely to my phoneSnack situation: poor - Anzac day meant lots of places were closed so I settled for some hummus and cheese and biscuits for lunch. Despite being hungry I did not eat my apples. Maybe tomorrow?Public toilet status: Plenty of toilets all throughout my cachescapades today. The worst toilet was at a BP, it was probably the dirtiest toilet I have ever seen, and I've travelled in some weird places. Best toilet was at Summerland point park.Munzee distractions: loads. Probably found the most munzees that I have in a while, but was surprised that there were some places without any munzees at all.Weirdos encountered: 4 drunks stumbling along the footpath as I walked up the street to grab dinner.("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `6_ 6 ) `-.

Reperio 10:15Day 5 of our Newcastle geocaching escapade, and Master Vitruvius and I headed towards the Belmont and Swansea areas before making our way slowly towards Sydney. It had been a while since I had been back to Murrays Beach, so it was great to explore the area again and pick up the 4 caches here.Gratias pontfamilyAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV
Thanks for the find. Had us looking for a little while but found the goods in the end.
Found this cache on the 28/02. What a pretty view it was. We were about to finish the rest along the water when we found a lost budgie so had to cut the trip short. TFTC
A quick find here in a familiar area( I'd been here before looking for trigs) Log is pretty much rubbish, but I added a new piece of waterproof paper. TFTC
Fun little cache, the log is completely destroyed though owner may need to replace. TFTC
We have travelled from Sydney's Northern Beaches to the Central Coast for a five day midweek holiday, staying at the Norah Head Holiday Park (caravan park) in Norah Head. Having already found most of the caches around Norah Head and the areas surrounding Tuggerah & Budgewoi Lakes on previous holiday visits, except for a few new ones and the odd DNF needing a visit/revisit, on this trip we will be concentrating our efforts in areas to the north of Lake Munmorah. Planning to explore areas around the southern & eastern shores of Lake Macquarie, including Wyee, Gwandalan, Doyalson North, Cams Wharf, Murrays Beach, Pinny Beach, Caves Beach, and Swansea. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base.Today we spent the morning caching at Cams Wharf, Murrays Beach, and Galgabba Point. Then it was a visit to The Entrance, before returning to the caravan park for a late lunch and a swim in the pool. This was the 3rd of 10 finds for the day (day 3), and 33rd find of the holiday.After stopping for a couple of caches at Cams Wharf we had now arrived at Murrays Beach for the Murrays Beach cache trail, and this was the first cache we came to. Parked the geomobile on Lake Point Way, and then ducked down the pedestrian access pathway between the houses to reach GZ, where the cache was a nice quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. There's some nice views to be had out over Lake Macquarie from the viewing platform at GZ. TFTC pontfamily.Find #6524
Heading to this one first on the trail but too many muggles. Came back when coast clear, easy find and log signed and replaced. TEFTC
A beautiful spot and a beautiful sunny day, found with 2 pods & techsavvy. TFTC
TFTC and a nice find. I looked for about 5 minutes and when I saw it just shook my head as I was right there and it was obvious. A lovely place to sit and relax and admire the lake.
Found it, what a beautiful view. Couldn't leave name or date as we forgot a pen ?????
Was not too hard to find but a bit tricky on the getting to it part. !
Was a great view!
Was a great view!
Second time looking for this one and today, I had no problems spotting the hide ... in the second spot I searched. I'm pretty sure I would have checked here last time but cache blindness must have hit me then.
Thanks for bringing me back to this lovely spot pontfamily ... indeed, I'm sitting back enjoying the view, the sunshine and the serenity while I type this log up. Now for your 2 new ones!

Just got around to logging this one....I must be blind..but after actually moving to a different position finally got this....TFTC...it's an amazing spot for views.
(7 of 7 today - including 2 Adventure Labs)Today's target are up to the Belmont area. Started with a multi I'd already grabbed some info for on a past visit. Then pottered my way back south a little before heading home in the dark.For some inexplicable reason, I dated everything the 22nd, not the 23rd.###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###And darkness had descended by the time I got here. Parked near the trailhead and wandered between the houses with my Geotorch.Got to GZ and soon made the find - spotting it from a short distance.Added my ink to the log, replaced and headed back to the car - past a dog walking muggle.Time to head home.SLTNLNTFTC
Heading north we picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.
Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Will have this one up and running again in the next week - the teenager lost the cache we were repairing so will get a new one in place asap.
Came down for a family breakfast at the cafe. After breakfast went for a short walk to find the couple caches in the area. The plan was to walk to this one but after having a thing blow out we drove over and a found the path between houses. A few minutes spent looking in the wrong area before making the find. TFTC
No problems the cache is still just hanging around. Beautiful Views. Now all I have to do is walk back to Swansea. Thanks for the cache. A favourite from me because of the view and the 3 related caches.
Lol I’m going to put the DNF we had down to the rain. Easy find today in the dry. We re-tied the fitting and now it matches the clue again. TNLN TFTC
Didn’t find but maybe it fell off the string and is lost in the woods? Good view though
Quickly found at GZ. Geo-senses are on point this afternoon. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful location on such a beautiful day!
No luck today with the geokids all getting spiked by the lomandra in their attempts to find it.
Instant find not really hanging but still attached to string beautiful lookout tftc
This one took a little while because we wrongly assumed we knew how it would be hidden. It was spotted finally lying in the grass, maybe not returned properly last find. Anyhow, our find was logged and it was returned in a likely place. Thanks for a top hide, we enjoyed the walk and search.
Found with Shaneo58, Catching up on some caches east of lake that have been placed in the last few months. The GPS had us all over the place, so took a while to find
Signed log and Cache replaced as found.

Rain Rain Go Away. I managed to get off my property resaonable late, and it was still raining when i got here. I figured no one would be around, but, nope, a very nice gentleman and a dog, in the rain. Wanted a chat too. Its raining. He even showed me where the trig point was, so i wonder.... Anyway i managed to search the entire structure, and nothing. Read the hint, Hmpf. Concentrated on GZ, and i managed to fumble my way to a find. Tricky. TFTC.

After a wet weekend, and the first day of school holidays, we were keen for an outing and some caches. It was a surprise to see that this was still up for FTF whilst planning our route, so after lunch we headed out, despite clouds looming in the south.
I'm sure we DNFd a cache here in the past, but were close by in 2020 for the trig. This one took a while, but in the end found the cache at the listed coordinates, all quite dry too, despite the huge amount of rain yesterday. Another blank log and FTF....
TFTC!
