This little piggy..( Geo-piggy's cache adopted) Beacon Hill, New South Wales, Australia
By GeoMonkeys on 22-Jan-03. Waypoint GCC8B3

aparently team piggy still has thier cache active on this container, so i'm dropping this one.

Found by Mary & David at 1515. Deja Vu. Not sure how we missed this one last time, although we were fairly inexperienced then. Barely a trickle over the falls today, thankfully. Took tissues, left hand lotion sample. Thanks to GeoPiggies and GeoMonkeys.

Mrs Riblit and I drove past this one after visiting our son and d-i-l who live nearby, so we stopped to log it. No swaps as we had nothing suitable with us. Just logged and replaced it.

Tried this one ages ago (when Geo-piggies owned it) but the bodgy co-ords put it over the edge. Was in the area today and thought I'd give it a try with the new co-ords. Came up trumps!

I had no swaps small enough so just signed the logbook.

Thanks Monkeys.

After a 10 min search we finally found this one...nice hiding place.
Great view down creek of the crashed motorbike lying in the pool!
Took the gold key ring, left tazos and a eraser ("rubber" when I was a kid).

After finding two already today we thought we could make it three! No such luck!

We ran out of time as we were running late for a movie! I suspect we need to watch old TV shows more!

My first cache find. Actually, I didn't find it at first. Then, after noticing a comment on this site that the coordinates were a little out, I examined the tracklog of my previous failed attempt, and from that guessed exactly where the cache must be hidden. Today, I went straight to it and found it.

Made an entry in the log, took the foam rubber ball, left a plastic hair comb.

Must agree with Mind Socket that the co-ords are a bit out on this one. We logged the above with plenty of satellites in view. If it weren't for the clue, we'd still be looking. Might explain the trampled vegetation nearby, too! Left an Aussie keyring & took the 25c casino chip. Thanks for the hunt folks (maybe re-check the co-ords next time you're passing?).

dropped by to pick up water tb.[^]

Turned out to be a bit harder than I thought (the GPS batteries ran out). Found it using the additional clue.

Took nothing, Left TB WATER.

Five of us searched last weekend and could'nt find this cache, went back during the week and discovered it, so took the family yesterday, we must have been practically sitting on it last weekend. Lovely weather and great view. Had to use second coordinates supplied by MIND SOCKET as first lot were out a bit.

Visited this one again today to plant a travel bug for the Fifth Element Cache... The waterfall was looking quite impressive today after all the recent rain... I left the Water travel bug which seemed quite appropriate...
Cache is in good condition...

Revisited to grab water TB.

The Co-ords I had were the originals that put me just over the cliff but a good fossic around found the cache. Must have walked over it quite a few times on my last visit.

Swapped a Flamingo Thermometre for a Springy Keyring.

After the recent rain, KitPie and I determined that waterfall caches would be a damp yet rewarding adventure. So, with Cassie (the dog) in tow, we returned to this cache, which gave us no regard last time in the dark. Armed with a new set of coordinates, our task was marginally easier. After about half an hour of searching and stopping to take photos, we finally forced the cache to give itself up. I took the coords to be .013/.709, so now there are 3 lots to try.

Will post photos etc on my site eventually (only just got it back online).

Removed the curry in a hurry (I don't think the natives would appreciate it) and the canyon guide (most excellent reading), left a bouncy ball with a fish inside.

Visited this cache today and took some readings. After 10 minutes averaging with 4m accuracy I arrived at the above coords...
There is something funny going on here Geomonkeys as the coordinates that were against this cache last week are not the same as the ones I used some weeks ago... They must have (been) changed at some point...

Hey Hey Geomonkeys...
The previous coordinates were ok for me... I found them to be about 8m off and it was putting me slightly over the cliff, but I trusted the 1:1 rating... They certainly weren't way off...

My appologies to those who may have attemted this cache recently, I t appears i have updated the co-ords using the wrong datum,or something, as the loction indicated is a long way from the actual cache. once again my appologies.
I will fix this ASAP.

could some one who has visited this cache ,and found it recently, please check the new co-ords,and confirm they are at least on the correct side of the road. My mapping software has the location in the correct spot so Im guessing these new coords will make it a littel easier for you to find. anyone who may have more accurate co-ords,is most welocme to post them for an update.

Easy find, easy access, great weather.
Left tiger snake, took coffee and adhesive 'B'

Poked around at 10pm w/ KitPie. Thought the location I was searching was a little too precarious in the darkness so I'll be back another day (not night).

Found a discarded snake skin.

I didn't manage to make it to this cache before it was archived by the GeoPiggies... So thanks to the GeoMonkeys for resurrecting it...
I nearly explored the cliffs, but decided to trust the 1:1 rating instead of my GPS...
