This was within lovely easy reach when we arrived at GZ. The river is definitely starting to run lower and there is now more mud visible at the edge of the creek here.As always, the mangroves are a highlight on our kayak paddles.The birds, which were prolific this morning have now stopped singing in the midday heat. Just one more here to go along the way before we finish this series. Thanks Team737Domsky

We came up to Newie again this week for about the third weekend in the last four, this time to attend the [HAVOC Flotilla](https://coord.info/GCAZBVQ) event on the Newcastle harbour which was fun. We decided we might set sail up Cockle Creek after the event which was, obviously, a great idea on a day like this! We launched [Lil' Geoff](https://coord.info/TB9QQJD) at the Speers Point boat ramp which was quite busy but we were able to find parking ok after the lineup to put in and off we went for some water caching! This was our second stop where we found the cache in excellent condition with a nice dry log. Continuing up the creek now to #3. TFTC and series, team737.#2061

Easy find

Found with mannering park sea scouts

I have been wanting to this kayak cache series since it first got published. But my sister who lives so close at Teralba no longer has kayaks, so I had to bring one up from Sydney. Glad I did as it was a really nice paddle from the mouth of Cockle Creek on Lake Mac up to the weir, finding and signing 15 caches along the way, then paddling back down. TFTC lee737

Easily spotted, retrieved, signed and replaced. TFTC

all bit one. easilt spotted by the forward hand. TFTC

#7676Ventured north with [@Purplepeopleater](https://coord.info/PR4X0DC) and [@bella at waggy](https://coord.info/PR5DQ4Z) lured by the Cockle Creek series. Met up at the carpark and organised our car shuffle before hitting the water just before 9am with 2 yaks and a SUP. Excellent home made containers.TFTC lee737

An excellent morning with Crash and B@W paddling this marvellously reclaimed creek.All containers were in excellent condition.SL TFTC

Found couldnt log because didnt have kayak to reach it

Nice hide TFTC. Beautiful day on the water

Back again to complete this section of the water way. Another nice paddle with little wind. A few took a little longer to spot than others but a good outing on the paddle board. Glad the multi final was not in another section. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Found on 28/4 with Mighty Minions & 2pods. This was my first time in a kayak and although it had been a simply awesome day, I was looking forward to the end. We had been having so much fun that we hadnt eaten for hours. Thanks for these caches.

Closing in on completing this series now, enjoying it with Mighty Minions and Goldberry17. Didn't need to be too athletic here, luckily! TFTC!

Out caching with 2pods and Goldberry17 today. the weather was brilliant, and the water was very smooth. we had lots of laughs, and I really enjoyed the day. the caches were all found with no problems and in good condition. Thanks for the cache lee737 tnln replaced as found sl

Back again after completing numbers 5 to 15 last month. After a fairly quick find at #1, this one took a bit more searching as I was initially looking on the wrong branch, but I eventually spotted it. While I was signing the log, the current and breeze caused my kayak to drift away and it then took another search to find the container a second time to put the log back. Many thanks for the hide and series, now on to number 3.

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 13182.A day of paddling with Deni_f and Banj on Cockle Creek this morning. With the tide due to hit high at 8am we made an early start at 7. With two kayaks and one stand up paddle board we covered 11.7km in 3hours 59 minutes. Another great cache in the series, found without issue. I love the effort youve gone to with these containers. Thanks lee737 for the cache.

Find#1874After these caches were published I was very keen to get them with all of the different DT ratings. After Banj asked me, Today was the day. Came out with Big Matt also and had an absolutely glorious day finding these caches. I wish I had 15 favourite points as this was such a fun series to do. Matt had calculated that we paddled a little over 11km and a bit over 4hrs in total at a very casual pace Ill add. Thanks for a great series Team 737. Favourite point Log and cache in good condition. TFTC

A great day to be out on the water finding some geocaches. Joined today by Big Matt on a SUP and Deni F in a kayak that an extremely nice bloke borrowed for him to use.Last find in this series. TFTC and thanks for an excellent series, plenty of great birdlife to be seen on the creek... cormorants, herons, kingfishers, swallows and a water dragon or 2

No 2 for today with SLELLIOTT. Very camouflaged! TFTC

Find No: 9181. Out for a great morning with Yella Belly & shaneo58 , thanks for the cache Team737!!

Launched the old "Yella Belly" today and as I am the Captain I picked up an unlikely crew in shanoe58 as Retriever of caches and Grub Fred as passenger (and secretary) to do the Cockle Creek caches. Well it was a fun trip up the river with nobody falling overboard. caches were well hidden but with keen eyes they were found. Thanks Team737 for the series.

Weather not as nice as the other day but still good fun. TFTC

Another lovely (?) day out on the water.Didnt run into Ecca on the water perhaps next time!

[FTF]. With no watercraft to use, I attacked this from Terra firmament. Not so firm under water though. TFTC TEAM737
