No luck but it doesn't sound like I'm the only one that had problems with this. Can the owner please look into this one or have it removed!

NO LOVE FOR THIS GEOCACHE.

TIME TO GO.
 
01-Sep-13
Yet another DNF. 5 sets of eyes looking (or trying to look because we were interrupted by muggles every minute) and after 15 minutes gave up. The cache owner urgently needs to check this cache as it may have been muggled or swept away by the weather.

3 plus months since request for review. Still not checked can we please have it checked it archived as the spot is to good to be cacheless
 
18-Jun-13
Almost no muggles this afternoon, only one.
I told her a story, so she walked further.
I searched and searched, but found nothing.
It's a nice spot anyway.
 
09-Jun-13
Unsuccessful search

Caching in the eastern suburbs today and I was happy to see the string of dnfs on this and not attempting it. Would love some feedback from the co.
 
16-Mar-13
Gave it half an hour and 3 sets of eyes. No luck
 
16-Mar-13
Hard to imagine such a large container being this hard to see. Any chance of a cache check.
 
01-Mar-13
had a quick search but too many muggles even in windy rainy weather. will return.
 
24-Feb-13
Typing and walking not my strength sorry the torch helped but not enough I will have to come back when I have more time great walking spot and worth the trip with or without a cache

Too well dressed up to hang around under the planks!
So to say, waiting for dinner at Darling Harbor, I have two hours or more to take some air along this walk! Quick look to each side, a few push-ups, I gave up ans join the DNF logged before. Don't wanna say it's not there! I rather walked along the top of the cliffs, less degrading to my clothes, but I think, people were looking at me! No worries, certainly a place I'll keep in mind for another tour!

A big let down when you are at day 279 of a personal caching challenge. There were just tooooooooooooo many mugglers. I will be back.
 
25-Oct-12
Great spot. Spent about 15 minutes here but couldn't find it. A pretty hard place to search by yourself with lots of people walking by. Took lots of pictures of underneath as well, but nothing stood out. I guess the container blends in. Perhaps another time. Cheers.
 
18-Oct-12
Nope. Too many spiders & muggles. Hopefully have some time this evening for another go.
 
10-Oct-12
Spent 30 mins with the kids but no luck even after checking hint and photos!! Must try harder next time Smile
 
16-Sep-12
It was getting dark and quite windy when we attempted this cache. Unfortunately I hadn't updated my gps for a while, so Holyman's log wasn't there to counter-act the stream of DNFs ...we'd probably have kept looking otherwise =( We'll be back on a warmer day!!
 
12-Sep-12
Its still there.
Did a cache check on my way through this evening
 
16-Aug-12
Spent about 1 hour looking couldn't find it today Sad
 
11-Aug-12
Hi Charlie can you please confirm that the cache is still in the hide? Should be obvious but I've climbed all over the steps and walk way with no luck...
 
09-Aug-12
Nice spot. Plenty of hides but I think for me to many! Couldn't find that one.
 
07-Jul-12
Great spot
 
02-Jul-12
Searched for some time without success. Great spot. Hope it has not been muggled.
 
17-May-12
I was here with my dad j007kunz.
 
17-May-12
Nice walk along the coast. Quick find. Dropped a coin that came straight from NZ. TFTC
 
05-May-12
No luck finding this one, but it's a great walk!
 
04-May-12
Found your nice cache with my lovely lady while staying at my uncles house a quick walk away.
Wonderful place.
Muggles made it a bit tough, but think I did it in privacy.
TFTC~

I walked from Bondi to Coogee on a windy and rainy autumne day. Tftc.
 
13-Apr-12
Found during the walk from Bondi beach to Cogee beach. The weather was excellent today for the walk and cache-picking during the walk made it even more interesting.

As said zargfinders, the hint does not help much. It mad me search in the opposite direction for quite a while until I decided to search further. The coordinates took me 8 meters North of the cache.

There was people running all the time and had a hard time to search in peace. I had to pretend to be very interested in spotting spiders, looking at the sea, drinking water, taking pictures, etc.
Grabbed the cache, signed and had to wait until the way was free. Stop running, people!

Thank you for the cache, Charlie Brown.
Visiting from Portugal.
 
08-Apr-12
Spent nearly 30 minutes looking all around GZ with no luck. OP and BV were with me helping. Nice view anyway.
 
06-Apr-12
[look ACROSS from the stairs??? not too sure about that hint... a better one would be] face the stairs and look under [sorry if its a bit of a giveaway but the hints at the moment just put us off, and this simple cache took us WAY too long! Also maybe you should update the coords they're > 6m off. Really nice location along a great walk. TFTC
 
26-Feb-12
Got it, together with shootingstar72, took a while as it was about 6 m away from WP.
Hint, sit on the lower stairs to look across. Good luck dodging muggles.
 
25-Feb-12
TFTC! Took a while to find. Great views.
 
11-Feb-12
Thanks. Was raining that we was here with spiders. J-LEST-TEAM
 
28-Dec-11
As we did a short morning walk along the coast with Oma before she left for Germany again we searched for this cache along the beautiful coastal walkway. (shame that it doesn't go through to Maroubra and gets cut off by houses!). It was a pleasant search everyone could participate and we came up with it after a short little while. Thank you very much for the cache Charlie Brown.
Took TB, left TB.
There are so few caches around here, a shame with all the beautiful spots around (say visiting Flintstones, Pebbles and Dino)
 
27-Dec-11
Walking from Coogee beach to Maroubra. Nice rocks and beautiful wiew! Lots of mugglers..

TFTC TB In "lamp"
 
19-Dec-11
Relentless stream of jogging and walking muggles meant there was no chance of finding this one this afternoon. I'll be back.
 
15-Dec-11
Thank you for guiding us here.
 
28-Nov-11
Lovely walk from Bondi on a sunny morning. Took a fair search but pleased to find just as about to leave, Dropped off Tiger TB, TFTC

found with tim and nick!
 
02-Nov-11
Had a bit of a look around here this arvo, but the muggles just seemed to keep coming and surprising me from around the corner on the boardwalk. A lot of people were enjoying the sunshine today. Gave up and enjoyed the views instead!
 
22-Oct-11
Very hard to avoid being seen by muggles, especially as it was Saturday arvo. Had the right idea just wasn't quite looking in the right place so took a little while. Nice spot though.
 
22-Oct-11
Very nice walk along the coast.
TFTC~ ^_^
 
20-Sep-11
Another good cache found on my holiday in Sydney. Nice walk to site. SL TFTC
 
10-Sep-11
Lots of muggles around, but got it in and out in the breaks! Very nice hide, really nice place with awesome views!
 
04-Sep-11
MUGGLE MAYHEM!!!!! Surprised if the cache hasn't been mugged yet... Cache is in good condition and made the find in about 10 minutes!! TFTC TNLN
 
01-Sep-11
Muggle city. TFTFH
 
27-Aug-11
A second DNF on this one. Too many muggles.
 
24-Aug-11
I arrived at GZ at roughly 17:30 and realized I had made a terrible mistake in coming while every single muggle and their muggle dog was busy doing their late afternoon/evening runs! After waiting for a break in the muggle traffic I mustered the courage to swiftly collect the cache, with the log signed I twiddled my thumbs and waited for another break in the traffic before quickly putting back the cache and headed off for my next find Smile

15-Aug-11
after 2 hours
 
30-Jul-11
Heaps of muggles around today as expected. Was hilarious trying to get this one back! lol TNLN SL TFTC
 
10-Jul-11
Found this cache a while ago but forgot to log my visit.
TFTC M&M*
 
05-Jul-11
Great walk to coogee with the kids, fun hiding spot but lots of muggles. There was even a man painting the view right next to the cache. Luckily we found it and put some great stuff in. Smile
 
30-Jun-11
Reperio at 1805. This was a beautiful night to be down by the water, and there were plenty of muggles about too tonight walking or running along the boardwalk. After waiting for a few minutes for the nearby muggles to clear, I strolled back up to GZ where the cache was found nicely tucked away.
 
26-Jun-11
Perfect Sunny Winter Day for Coastal Walk in Eastern Subs. Unfortunately no whales to spot!
 
23-Jun-11
A nice caostal walk on a beautiful sunny day should be an easy task right? Not for me! I managed to fumble every part of this find! Red Face I got sprung several times by overhead muggles as I scrambled through bushes and under paths so I muttered terribly convincing things like "Oh there's my earring!"
Oh yeah, then I early knocked myself unconscious on a beam.... disoriented and discombobulated I miraculously located the (actually very easy to find) cache and whisked it out only to find muggles were coming at me from all directions! So I did what any self respecting geo-newbie would do... I shoved it up the front of my coat and proceeded to strut around casually. Would've been ok if I'd located a micro or even a small cache... I looked like an expectant mother...soon to give birth to a barrel.
Finally there was a break in the tide of muggles and I dashed to return the cache but alas I also ran like an expectant mother and was busted by a lovely lady walking her dog as I emerged from a bush with twigs in my hair. "What have you lost dear?" she asked. "My.. um.. my ring." I blurted out. We spent the next 10 mins searching for my non existant ring before I mustered up the courage to thank her for her help and slink away.
From now on I'm not ever going hunting without geokid to cover my back!
Took nose shaped pencil sharpener
Left pewter 'frog' charm
thanks! from 1/2 of the Arty Chicks
 
23-Jun-11
Been meaning to get this one for a while. Had the opportunity on a great afternoon. Managed to spot a couple of whales too. TFTC. SLTNLN.
 
04-Jun-11
Nice stash! Would have been easy except it was 10pm without a torch. Deposited CityRail pocket. TFTH
 
30-May-11
First cache. Stoked!
 
22-May-11
Team Nicky found it on a warm Sunday afternoon. Good hunting Patrick!!!
 
29-Apr-11
Thanks to the rain, we were finally able to visit this spot with no muggles around and found it quickly (though the coordinates are a bit off). Plus we saw a double rainbow! TFTC!
 
13-Apr-11
Love it tired now

24-Mar-11
Bah. No luck again.
 
19-Feb-11
Finally, my last day here! Quite many mugglers despite the early hour. Have been here many times before but there have not been a suitable time to search. TFTC!
 
19-Feb-11
quite a few muggles around. found the cache eventually with the help of a geo-friend. placed cache back at original location. hopefully it stays there as it felt a little unstable when I placed it.
 
30-Jan-11
Relatively quick once all was muggle-clear. Grabbed a tb lnsl tftc!
 
26-Jan-11
Found it eventually, after way too much time searching. It helps to be looking in the right direction. It also helps to think like a geocacher, not a dog!

Log was soggy. Left a wet wipe and a TB that wants to go on holiday.
 
26-Jan-11
Easy find. TFTC!
 
20-Jan-11
found it Big Grin
 
19-Jan-11

Beautiful site with the blue see.

29-Dec-10
Had a search between the loads of muggles. No joy in the likely spot.
 
28-Dec-10
Sad Back in Sydney and back here- still no success .
 
22-Dec-10
Cache four of five on a stroll through Coogee for Hobietime, Hobbieeboo, Clinton and Caro! Great site, great view, great history! T: Rocky the Flying Squirrel TB 303927, L: Zebra TB, VMVFHK, who wants to go back to the serengeti! TFTC, Log book needs replaced as one is wet the other is full! Needs plastic bag for log as well. Sea ya!
 
27-Nov-10
The view was very nice but there were a lot of muggles...
thanks for hiding!
 
27-Nov-10
No such luck today.

A nice easy walk down to GZ, but with a combination of regular passers by and not being very good looking, we couldn't find it.

Along with Pympat, we weren't sure if we needed to go off the boardwalk, or too far off the path. I try normally to stay to the tracks...
 
26-Nov-10
I've had Rocky for way too long, no caching for team snoopy in months. Damned broken knee.
Hope someone can help him fly again soon.
 
22-Nov-10
TOO MANY MUGGLES!!! I'll be back. TASKFORCE70
 
16-Nov-10
Each time I commenced the search, someone else would come by. This is a popular spot, especially for pram pushers. I had to conceded defeat on this one. Thanks Charlie Brown!
 
16-Nov-10
Looked, didn't find. Didn't go off the boardwalk, maybe below? As noted by others, many passersby here, especially on a sunny afternoon. Visiting from US, so may be a while before I can return to look again - but I will!
 
11-Nov-10
Beautiful day, so we walked from Maroubra. Searching was difficult because there were lots of people passing by. We couldn't find it, but at least we picked up "Hunt Me Down" on the way back.
 
08-Nov-10
I had bad luck today. I found just one geocache today, same this one. And I had a walk about 22 km. But the weather was fantastic until 3:00 p.m. I have taken a lot of pictures. This cache I found on the way back to Bondi Beach. I had to seek a long time. But I have found it.
TFTC, SchwesterN01
 
09-Oct-10
Sad I had hopes for better luck with this one than the Hunt me down that got me last time I was here a couple of years ago, but it wasn't to be. "are you alright?", "Yes just looking for lizards" ! Doh- so many places..."huge container" - where?????? Still this has to be one of the best coastal walks in the world- TFTC!
 
03-Oct-10
the girl and me deicided to try this cache as in the past we have been here and was just tooo busy

was perfect.. a nice lumpy sea.. drizzly rain.. wind... no one around Smile

straight to it... found zero problems

took jeep trackable

left dragon dog plastic toy thing....
 
28-Sep-10
Nice easy hide. We feel better after not finding the Hunt Me Down cache. Took nothing but left a green jeep track trackable.
 
28-Sep-10
Log book is wet
 
25-Sep-10
Great view. Beautiful day. Lovely walk. Lost my Geocache virginity. TNLN. Thnx guys.
