Tftc. I’m searching around while Mrs sat in the car and waited. She rings and informs me it’s magnetic. Quick find after that.
Missed this one 2 months ago so back for another look today and after doing a little more homework it was a quick find.
Magnets have become unglued, if that is a word.
Placed back where it was found.

I found the container laying on the ground, the magnets have come adrift and it needs some repairs, otherwise an interesting hide. You need to rough up the lid with some sand paper so the glue can get a grip.
Thanks for the hide, I have replaced it as best as I can.

Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and increased our experience in this location it is what helps make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Unfortunately after a good look around we didn’t find the cache this time.
Getting my workout today walking up ticking a few off! This was a quick find.
GPS constantly had me at a tree next to a derelict Volvo in someone's yard on the western side of the road or in the middle of the road,
Might have another look down the track.
No smiley today.

Found it but Whilst jumping up for the cache i cut my hand on the sign putting it back was much better as I got the milk crate out of my car.
(7 of 15 today - including 3 Adventure Labs)
After some numbers today to keep the Caching Calendar Gods happy, so decided to head south to the area near Mount Kembla.
A very pleasant, yet sobering day, with many caches referencing the mining tragedy of 1902.
Fond almost everything I went for, including a few with recent DNFs. That's always satisfying.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Decided it was time for a few of the ALs here, so tackled the first three locations before grabbing this one.
As I result I grabbed:
# A Last Sunrise
# Beers and Tears
# Courage Amidst Hope
Must remember next time I'm here to grab the other two.
###END OF ADVENTURE LAB SECTION###
Well this looks like it has two recent DNFs (one as a NM) so...
Walked to GZ and had two thoughts. checked the first for a minute or two, but nothing likely spotted. Tried my other idea. Gotcha!
Easy as, really. Interesting container.
Added my ink to the log, then replaced and off to the Memorial Pathway.

Two birds with one stone while undertaking the UCI AdvLab. Well, maybe not stone as first thought on arrival. Much easier find once spotted.

Read previous comments which mentioned gps coords out. Cache is on the opposite side of road that the GPS says
#6652-Found with thomo31 on our way down towards the city. About 10m out not where we had expected. Thanks
Found with WaywardWoman while heading to Wollongong. Coords pointed to the other side of the road. Headed there for quick find in a logical place. TFTC
Finally got here today and after originally looking on the wrong side of the road (didn't make a lot of sense anyway) got there in the end. TFTC!
Decided to clear out one of my remaining unfound local caches. After an expected DNF here previously I was keen to make amends. Thankfully the coast was clear and I was able to make a quick find.

I spent way too long searching here. Eventually I made a call for help, and I was sent to the other side of the road. That's not where my GPS or the map had me looking at all!

Technically I'll call this a DNF.
I stopped and got out to start searching when I spotted muggles sitting in their car right at GZ so I walked back to my car and descended the mountain.
This one will be better after dark

Missed out on a {FTF} earlier this week, so when I saw the dnf's from last night I had to give it a try. Found it quite easy within seconds and within the posted coords. I guess daylight makes a difference.

First to DNF! A lovely night though. ??
Will be back to hunt more thoroughly with the benefit of daylight.
