Another lovely 3D printed container greeted us at GZ. This time slightly bigger and its Kolour seemed to match the bark of the tree perfectly.We spotted it as we arrived at GZ, snd in our old trusty 2-person inflatable yak, pulled in safely and signed the log. Thanks Team737Domsky
We came up to Newie again this week for about the third weekend of 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! Today, eldest geokid was at the helm of [Lil' Geoff](https://coord.info/TB9QQJD) while I was doing all the navigating and grabbing. Well and truly up the creek now, admiring some of the back yards that some of the residents are enjoying. In saying that, we saw one of their washing machines and can confirm that it floats. At this GZ we found yet another cache in excellent condition with a nice dry log which now contains our green siggie. TFTC and series, team737.#2072

#7688Ventured north with @Purplepeopleater and @bella at waggy 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 Samuel737
An excellent morning with Crash and B@W paddling this marvellously reclaimed creek.All containers were in excellent condition.SL TFTC
Out caching with MightyMinions & 2pods on 28/4. Kayaking a little upstream before heading back down. A beautiful Autumn day & lots of fun & laughter. Thanks for placing these caches.
Up again for weekend work and as I was a little early found an entry point near the tail end for some select caches.Used the paddle board which gave me better height for some but harder to duck for others. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Paddling upstream from our start near #12 (qv) with Mighty Minions and Goldberry17, we needed the eagle eyes to spot this! TFTC!
Out caching with 2pods and Goldberry17 today. Oh my gosh this was our theme of the day, not seeing the cache and then not being able to unsee it, these caches blend in so well. 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 Samuel737 tnln replaced as found sl
Decided to drag the canoe all the way to Newcastle so had to make good use of it! Did the cockle creek series and a nearby adventure lab today, not sure if the weather is good enough tomorrow. Good quality made for good fun!TFTC Wilbert67
This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 13173.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 Samuel737 for the cache.
Find#1885After 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. 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.TFTC
What a fabulous evening to be on the water!Thanks again for this series 737.Its a gift that keeps on giving.Love the camo colours here!I went looking for the elusive #16, but no luck.Maybe next year!
Find No: 9193. 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.
After my mishap at #13 and deciding to use my phone to navigate to this one while my GPSr dried out, I initially ended up at the wrong paperbark. I've never been a great fan of the official app, and this did nothing to endear me to it, so I decided to take the chance and power up the Garmin again. No smoke or crackling and soon it was pointing me at the correct tree, after which it was a quick find.Thanks for the hide and the series, now on to the end of the trail at #15.
