A good muggle freind of mine who was with me when I found this one has checked and it has gone. He walks past it once a week whilst exercising.... Just checked and CO has not logged on for some time, so maybe best to archive it.
 
07-Oct-12
Went looking for this one with Pirry and DiOnlyBob. Really nice secluded beach and walk. After searching and searching could not find it. We highly suspected that it has been muggled as there were disturbed rocks in the area where we expected the cache to be. Oh well.
 
07-Oct-12
I believe this one has been muggled. What appears to be the spot has alot of disturbed rocks
 
06-Oct-12
Quite a few dnf's. CO may want to check on this one.
 
14-Jul-12
A DNF for me as well. Gave it 10 mintues, but with the previous DNF's, I wasn't confident.

Great spot, and still glad I made the effort to get there. Hope the cache IS there somewhere, just well hidden.
 
08-Jul-12
Last cache attempt of the day, but no luck for us either =( Will keep an eye on this listing ...hopefully it'll be back in action at some point!
 
01-Jul-12
I soooo wanted to find this one, looove the movie! But after looking for 40' with sundance69 we had to declare a DNF. Hope it's not muggled and will watch this cache! Anyway, thanks for bringing us here, would have never discovered this hidden spot with an AWESOME view!
 
01-Jul-12
Spent twenty minutes looking for cache today without success. Shame. From reading other logs recently, it may be worth a check.
 
30-Jun-12
We really took time to look and looked up some pics of previous cachers. Nemo was maybe out for a swim. Will monitor and if someone makes a find, please contact us. Thanks.
 
In a rush today and didn't get a good search in. No luck coming up with the goods.
 
02-Jun-12
This was a nice little spot and we managed to find the only park even slightly nearby so we were hoping that meant good things for also finding the cache. When we arrived at the GZ, there were plenty of options and we looked around for a fair while before zita looked at just the right angle and spotted the container. On the way back to the geo-mobile we found the 'NYE Kissing Point' - very cute! It would definitely be a fantastic view from here on NYE. TNLNSL TFTC!! Smile

#8 out of 15 found today on my birthday caching extravaganza. This is my first caching outing while being a premium member.

I was looking about a metre away from the cache, but then some previous logs led us to believe the cache was further away. With no luck, we were about to head off but I looked near the spot I thought the cache was again and found the cache. Nice spot. TFTC.
 
11-Dec-11
during afternoon caching tour in the eastern subs. I always enjoy the views towards CBD and the walk along the cliffs. Tour ended unfortunately at Randwick Hospital after getting a branch of a tree into the eye. So keep in mind don't walk and luck on the GPS Display. Luckily it only hurts but was not so serious, now after three days more or less no problems. Could even fly to Singapur on monday. TFTC
 
03-Dec-11
Found at 2.10pm GAFF1. What a lovely location, just damn difficult to find a park especially as there was a carnival going on at the (Karrumba?) school. Lots of activity on the water - we could here the people enjoying themselves on the various boats.

Thanks The 2 Dogs.
 
07-Nov-11
Very nice view point on the harbour, one of my favorites today, the walk is just beautiful, thanks for bringing us there. Tftc
 
07-Nov-11
Looked all in the wrong place but eventually found it when I stopped climbing things hahah. Kiwiroo and I in another hunt. Signed log left some coins and took travel bug f860ww which I will relocate to another cache shortly. Tfth!
 
04-Nov-11
Amazing spot, easy find with Rszarka. BYOP TFTF
 
19-Oct-11
The views here alone are worthy of a favourites point. Sydney really is blessed with its harbour, and today was a bejeweled crown of a day, low 20s, cool sea breeze, lots of yachts out for mid week racing...I wonder what the poor people were doing today? hahaha.
Thanks for the cache.
 
03-Oct-11

A lovely area. Cache soon in hand. SL Left TB TFTC
 
15-Sep-11
I tried this one last year when it was offline and obviously had no success. I was in the area again this morning and thought it would be worth another attempt. This is definitely one of the most beautiful spots on the harbour. After a short search at GZ I spied the cache and soon it was in hand. Nice spot and thanks to the 2 Dogs for this cache.
 
04-Sep-11
Lived in Sydney for >40 years and I can say this is the best view of Sydney Harbour - especially from up at the car parking bay - anywhere. Thanks for introducing. Didn't bring anything aquatic, so dropped in TB/Jumper; well, amphibians are half aquatic Wink
 
03-Sep-11
Lots of glass on this beach, after a good search geo daddy came up with the goods! OLE!!
 
02-Sep-11
Great spot. Thanks for the adventure. Pity about the broken glass on the beach
 
24-Aug-11
Popped up to this cache as it was one of the last ones on my list for this evening, Found cache intact although a little wet - Cache appeared waterproof so im not sure how the moisture got in...
TFTC
 
13-Aug-11
Couldnt find it! Lots of likely spots but they were mostly filled with broken glass and needles. Has it gone or did we not look hard enough?! Help!
 
04-Jul-11
It took a little while to coax nemo out of his hiding spot but eventually he showed his face to me.

Thanks.
 
30-Jun-11
Found it eventually! TFTC!

Wonderful view

Found this cache while i was half way through the forgotten nuns, although i did have my pen at this stage.
Thanks for the cache.

It was raining hard so a bit difficult but found it in the end. Thanks.
 
20-May-11
I brought a Muggle friend along for a day of geocaching. Got to GZ and a brief search produced the location. Made the reach, signed the log, and took a T.B. hiding inside the cache container. Enjoyed the area. TFTC.
 
14-May-11
Nope, not today. TFTC

Spotted several likely little hiding spots around the vicinity of GZ. They were all empty of course. The 2 Dogs are much better hiders than that. Didn't take too long to come up with the goods. Nice repair job by Bells Angels.
 
01-Apr-11
What a nice walk on the bay shore. Many thanks and greetings from France!
 
01-Apr-11
A really nice walk along the coast line. And what beautiful views. Many thanks for the discovery of the cache and greetings from France
 
14-Mar-11
Great views. Great boardwalk! Found cache and the lid looks like it's been dragged behind a car. It is worn through and no longer waterproof. I was worried about the contents so made the long walk back to the main road to my van where i did repairs to the cache lid (siliconed the worn bit)
 
13-Mar-11
We thoroughly enjoyed this coastside walk and finding a cache was just an extra bonus. tftc
 
13-Mar-11
Nice hide in a high traffic area! Plenty of room for small TB and coins. TFTC
 
27-Feb-11
Reperio at 1300. Arrived at GZ to find plenty of muggles out fishing, so while they were busy, I went about finding the cache. Looked in a couple of spots before it was found, and sat and enjoyed this nice spot before heading off. The boardwalk here is fantastic.

Gratias 2 Dogs.
 
24-Feb-11
Quick find and one without any spiders. We were so happy that we dropped a TB in this nice place. Hopefully it will attract more cachers to this lovely place. TFTC.
 
09-Feb-11
Well done team for replacing the cache. Once in awhile a stunning location comes along. Went very close to arranging a New Years Eve geocaching event at this location, its that good, with perfect views to the SHB. Only point that stopped it was that we were not sure just how many revellers and people would take up positions along the boardwalk and beach area.
Next time we find the cache, i am going ask a neighbour just how big it gets here NYE and lets see what happens. Cheers Guys.
 
04-Feb-11
Thanks Guys.
 
03-Feb-11
This cache has been replaced with a brand new container and contents. Time to go fishing again.
 
03-Feb-11
Looks like this one isn't coming back
 
06-Jan-11
gee it took me some time to find it but also what was hard to deal with was that i stepped in dog shit
 
23-Nov-10
What a top spot and plenty of viewsboth on and off land. Sad to say that the three of us join the other growing list of DNF's there was a spot that had all the tell tale signs of a cache hide, but alas it was empty. In one way glad that we will need to revisit this location.
JABs.
 
23-Nov-10
There are some great sights in the city but the views we say here were up there with the best of them.
Even with this one being a DNF, we came away from this cache with something that will be talked about on caching trips for a long time.

Will be a shame to have to return when this one is fixed up........................WinkWink
 
30-Aug-10
Like the others looked hard, but the obvious spots were vacant. Hope you replace the cache, as its one of the best locations I have ever seen. Thanks, the 2dogs.
 
24-Aug-10
Looked for ages and no luck, I have just read the other logs and I agree I think Nemo has been caught and taken home for dinner.
Nice walk though.
 
12-Jun-10
We didnt find it at given coordinates.
 
27-Apr-10
This was a little frustrating especially after reading all the logs where cachers made the quick find. After four of us looking for at least 20-30 mins we finally gave up. We did notice the posted signs for fresh paint on the walkway and rails. Also there are some plants that were obviously just planted along the walkway so it is possible that this one was muggled by the work crew.

Nice geocache, nice beach. TFTC
Found after only a few seconds of searching.

Was with DDDCC, made a quick grab SL and put back and kept hiking,

Mu33a spotted this one as we were making our way by foot to Forgotten Nuns third and final waypoint.
Semikosher, Quarterpipe and Shinyseeker kept an eye on the sunbaking muggles whilst I went in for the quick log sign.\\

Great spot for a cache and a beautiful part of Sydney. Easy find too. Did not have any 'fishy' themed items so no swap. Like others have said, there is no sign of any of the listed trackables. TFTC.

[font=Comic Sans Ms]Caught the ferry from Circular Quay to Watsons Bay then walked back to Rose Bay for the ferry back. Thoroughly recommend the walk.
This one was at a particularly attractive area with the new trees/shrubs in their protective plastic nearby.
Easy find.

[purple]No fishy swaps so TNLN

Confirmed no trackables in cache Sad[font=Verdana]

Was in the area this afternoon and last time wasn’t able to locate it due to work being carried out around GZ. Spotted a likely hideaway and soon had the cache in hand. TNLN thanks.

What great exclusive spot...
Found easaily, was wexposed.

There were no trackables in cache.

We'd come past this almost a year ago but had so little caching experience that we didn't recognise the typical hide at that time. Today we had no trouble and sat on the little beach writing the log. As we were enjoying the spot, a boat load of NP rangers arrived and began to unload all their gear right in front of us! They were building a new walkway all along the shoreline and have now got to the railing stage.

I had intended to drop a TB in here but we were worried that the rangers might find the hiding spot of the cache and possibly confiscate it Sad So, just in case, I didn't drop the TB after all but we did take the Pig TB. We managed to get the cache back in place behind it's rock camoflage unseen so we're hoping the rangers will be too busy looking at their feet to notice it Big Grin They seemed pretty nice people so they may even be happy to leave it Nemo peace if they do find him. TFTC, it's a brilliant walk along here.

We found it on our way to "Forgotten Nuns". Nice Cache! TFTC and Greetings from Germany
 
13-Dec-09
After being sidetracked by a rock formation that was definitely not terrain 1.5 and being attacked by a mob of mosquitoes despite the hot, sunny weather, I backtracked and finally stopped failing my spot checks ~17:30; the box was actually visible. I was a bit too short, so the cache was actually retrieved, replaced and hidden properly by Rel. Left some star-shaped swaps.
Also left the PIG TB (TB14WJZ). However, did not see any of the other listed trackables...
 
29-Nov-09
Nice easy find on a hot afternoon while in the area for futsal.

Found while on our way to get the nearby multi. Stopped and wet our toes while we were here.

One of our TB's, Rolle the Budgie, stayed in Nemo's Hideaway in 2004... now that we are visiting Sydney, we wanted to find this cache as well (and bring Rolle back for a second visit -> see the picture). We are so happy that the cache is still there and that we got a chance to see where our TB travelled all the way from Finland Smile Thanks for this great cache and greetings from Gouda, Holland!
 
14-Nov-09
Finally managed to tick this one off my list. A nice little cache, with low density muggle activity, but as with any location like this, it's weather dependent!. TFTC. Left a Sherriffs badge and a Winners medal, took the Woody figure.
 
18-Oct-09
A small embuggerance with the fact that the path was closed. But, that was soon dealt with a little bit of fence jumping. Found it reasonably quickly.

V surprised that the cache has not been muggled by the tradesmen fixing the walkway, who knows maybe they are geopeople.

TFTC

None of the trackables were in the cache.

Make sure you put the camo back whe you replace te cache.

Track is closed around the cache but managed to grab it anyway.great spot cheers

Found this nice cache in the afternoon with a lovely sunset in the background. Unfortunately, Audra's Dory, Pouch 'n Little Pouch, and Australia 2007 Geocoins were not in the cache.
Picked up Cheesecake's Ambassador TB, Cachewalkers Superbike Challenge(CSI Wellesbournes) TB, and MEMPHIS TB.

Wow, these houses must be worth a lot! What a view from here. Approached from the wrong side - the road was blocked for construction work, so drove around and came from the other entrance. Took the three travellers, and left three other bugs/coins. TFTC
 
28-Jun-09
Found this one on a quick trip to the area after attending the Nursing Expo at Randwick and a full night of caching. What a nice area to finish up on and to drop off all our travelers we have collected in the past 24hrs.
As already reported Andras Dory, Pouch n Little Pouch, Australian 2007 Geocoins are not in the cache and have been missing for some time, maybe the owners could remove them some how so people dont attend and expect to find them.
There are now 3 travelers in the cache for those willing to move them on. Please note one of these coins is not an actual coin but a busniss card style in place of the coin made by the owner. This card has all the tracking details to log your find etc.

Having an afternoon flight back to Adelaide gave me the opportunity to spend the morning doing some Sydney caching.

Even though the weather wasn't the best today, there were still some great views and a cache to grab on the way. TFTC. Big Grin
 
08-Jun-09
Great little walk down to the cache. Heaps of muggles comming around the corner, had to have the geowife situated at one bend and the geokid at the other in order to retreive the cache safely. TFTC TNLN SL
 
08-Jun-09
What a beautiful place for a cache the views are some of the best, and the area was free of muggles today for the most part.
The cache was completely exposed I was surprised to find it here at all, needless to say i returned it with far more enthusiasm then I found it. No trackables either in the cache!
No swaps either Thanks for bringing us hereBig Grin
