I'm not happy with this location because of all the needles and broken glass being spotted so I am going to archive it
Recommend the owner checks on this one based on the past logs. While in the area (a bit south of Wollongong Invasion) we decided to check it out - no cache, just a few mixing spoons (change from the needles) and a fair bit of glass. Hope it comes back again for our next visit.
Poked a stick in every crevice but only found glass. Geokids and I gave up after looking for ages!
grabbed it on the way to pick up the little scout from the movies.
she saw the simpsons movie, apparently its pretty good.
tftc, took less than 10 seconds.

Nice cache. Thanks for the needle warning. We found one today and put it in the bin carefully.

found this one on a family bike ride gps was sending us the wrong way but eventually found that mum was sitting on it
Did this last one of the day with the sappling and Mrs Figtree. Mrs Figtree came up with the goods after both Woodyson and myself glossed over the spot looking into two full bottles of beer at GZ. Left them for other cachers.

Cache is no longer as describer but a small film canister. That's how we found it.

Found easily despite the White screw top container being cunningly disguised as a 35 mil film cannister! Thanks for the cache.

On our way south and picking up a work mate
And this geocaching stuff was making me late
But how could I resist
Doing one on my list
Also on my way
And got the nod of OK
An easy one to find
Being a micro, it was rather kind

Found easily. As it was just starting to rain there was no one about so quickly signed the log and left

Nice little hide after seeing "deja vu" at the nearby cinemas. Go and see that movie. Seriously! Its awesome!
Found this one with a friend. I'll make a cacher out of her yet. There were no muggles around so I guess we lucked out with this one. TFTC
We had an amorous/cuddling couple of mugges in their car just behind the find and had to use stealth...we had forgotten about this area....along time ago we would line up to go cruising on the lake in a boat called the Merinda...TFTC
3rd find today, been meaning to swing by here for a while. Plenty of muggles fisinhg in the vicinity. TFTC!
No muggles around with the rain pouring down, a nice easy find to finish the day with.

No muggles around at 05:30 this morning [|)] Found this one on the way to an event in Sydney, nice easy find and didn't even need to lock the car! I wish there were more like this one, thanks!
Came by for a look on an afternoon out caching. Found it in next to no time at all. Area is a bit smelly though.
Had to be clever and cautious with muggles around but were successful!! Nice little part of the bay!!!
Picked a quiet time without any muggles around.Nice little park on a hot day. Thanks Skippy&Lambchops.SL

Lots of muggles, heaps of hazards made us a bit wary.Cheers Gomez and Morticia
Out with Gribbly, Wassa, Georgia (Gribblys little one), as well as my two lads Jono and Jeremy. This cache was a very easy find, though the hazards meant keeping the kids back from the location.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!
best wishes,

Went past it the first time. But easy find the second time around. Took hairclip, left molecule man.
First time I have played is today and this was my 3rd one. Had some trouble with the settings of the GPS (my fault).
Went with Gribbly and WalW and the kids.

Our first cache find for the day. Easy enough to find, however the cache is not in a white container with screw top lid, but all essential parts still inside.
Found very easily however lurking dangers make this a higher difficulty. Nice park nontheless. TFTC

Hi Skippy&LambChops - we've seen your traces across the ACT so it's great to find one of yours. Elegant hide.
Great cache location.
Thanks Skippy&Lamdchops.

Found this one with a little nudge thanks to 4GRLGB. The location has been slightly changed since BigMickB was here and the description of the container definately needs to be removed or updated. Cleared away a few broken bottles and needles while I was at it.
Thanks Skippy&Lambchops

I can't beleive I missed this one the last time, I was looking for the wrong coloured container but I should have trusted my gizmo.

being the last to log this i went to check it out this sarvo at 5.30 pm and found it strait up in the dark in the same place i found it when i logged it .so she is still in there.guys
Looks like it's still there, some one must have moved the cache from it's original location.
Thanks for that purple duck.

I was caching with BigMickB who has previously found this cache. It was supposed to be a quick drive by for me. Since I was having trouble Mick had a look and confirmed that it was not where it is supposed to be. Unfortunately I think it has been removed.
Thanks guys
DNF due to bloody Muggle fisherman who rocked up about 2mins after me while I was finding GZ, he went straight to the point so I didn't really get a chance to look. I'll have to go back

had two goes to find this one today as a first timer. many around at lunch. came back at 3 pm and found it. left contents in it put a car fuse in it and slipped it back what a great way to get out and about many thanks.the purple duck.
Too many "Muggles" around. We waited for a while to get the opportunity then pounced on the cache. Sneaky hide Skippy&Lambchops.
Found this one quickly. Had to be very discrete though as there were plenty of muggles hangins around!
Thanks:)
Thanks:)
found it,no needles,fisher muggles hanging around though, had to look very thoughtful while searching,

Found on the 3rd visit due to high muggle count. Nice spot for a bit of fishing if you have a lazy afternoon.
Did this on way to inlaws. Was very quick, especialy after getting down to looking, we noticed the cache.
Took Canadian Pin, left hiar clip.

Found a bong and all that other junk but no cache. I wasn't willing to stick my hands where I could not see first. Maybe a safer place would be more preferable. Doesn't give the Gong a good reputation.
I was in Wollongong/Port Kembla on business for a couple of days and this cache was less than 2 km. from work. It was blowing a gale and raining on and off most of the day. As I neared GZ, the rain came down again. Luckily I had a rental car so I was able to wait until the rain abated.
When it died down, I jumped out and quickly found the cache, returned to the car to log it, then replaced it. By the way, the cache container description no longer matches the actual cache. Thanks for the cache.

Watched a lad fishing from the point - the fish were at the pier. Left Canada flag pin.

Didn't find it. Again. Very embarrassed. Again. Seems to be so easy for most, but I just don't get it. On the other hand it's a lovely spot, spoilt only by used syringes etc. (I removed and trashed nearly a dozen). Maybe I'll try again later...
Not far to walk here. Watch out for used needles poked into hidy holes. Best to use a stick to check out likely spots.
Very embarrassed not to find this one. Lovely tidy location, nice place to be, anyway. Will return.
Great views to be had and a nice easy micro , what more can you ask for.
Thanx.

Hi
Find No 3!!!!
This was a very easy cache.
Very nice spot, although GZ needs a bit of a clean up, I used a stick to remove an offending prophylactic.
Thanks all

Pounced this one just a few minutes before I had to leave Sabakitty's place and head back to work in Novacastria.
Pretty quick and easy find, even if we had to be mindful of some people in their car watching the sunset not far from GZ.
Thanks! Atpaw 'n Sabakitty

My second Geocache, with Atpaw accompanying.
A nice little walk, not too difficult to find. The lake is always pretty, although it was getting pretty cold by 5.00pm when we found it.

A close second to being first to re-find (FTRF), only being a few days behind Young Gregory.
Glad to see it back in circulation.

I love a cache that you can nearly park on top of. Great place for a picnic but as patric said the area needs a clean up (I parked next to a sad looking commodore and then realised it had been dumped). Found it pretty easily (right next to a small plastic zip lock bag) and spent about half an hour playing fetch with Cassie the wonder dog in the surrounding park.

Having brushed away enough debris with a stick to reach the stash of used syringes (what is it about scenic cache locations having so much in common with where junkies like to get high) I figured that it wasn't there or I would have disloged it.
Hopefully Clean Up Australia day had a site near by on the Sunday and it's all clean now ready for a new cache container.

After waiting for muggles to leave, my GPS being a bit out on this one and geopup being no help (he always goes for the trees 1st but this time wanted to play in the water) Lost_Bearette eventually spotted it, thanks Skippy&Lambchops.
2nd find of the day with Muddy Diver..Windswept and interesting place...the cache i think had been disturbed so after signing the log, it was hidden again.
Thanks for the cache

Completing this log on the 10th for our find on the 8th. Glad to see its been found after our visit as we had to hide the container! On approach to GZ with 'Dernel' found container disguising itself as one of the pieces of rubbish in the area. Not too smart considering it may have been picked up and discarded. Signed the log, enjoyed this one, Thanks a lot.
Almost didn't need to get off the bike. A nice starting point for a ride on the windsurfer on a nice day.
Early morning hunt on the way home from nightshift -My second of many finds to come. Took a few minutes to find - Dont you always look in the most obvious place last!
excellent placement

There was an older couple parked near the cache feeding themselves MacDonalds. I gave SWAG dog a drink from her bowl right next to the cache then grabbed it.
Great spot guys.
Great spot guys.
With a stiff breeze blowing a couple of juniors where out in their Flying Ant practicing their spinnaker setting and where having a great time flying over the water, unlike the Manly Junior which sunk just in front of the club.
The drizzle effectively got rid of most of the muggles. I can only imagine what a nice place it is on a sunny day.
BIGMICKB's 100th FIND! WOO HOO!!!
Swag Tim is right, I've never parked so close to a cache either. I got within 10 metres, but could've parked way closer. It appears there was some heavy traffic here on this day as Rolly had already signed the log before me, and I was there at 10am. And it appears two others were there after me.
Sure wasn't the hardest cache I've ever done, but a lovely scenic area to bring up the ton. Thanks Skippy & Lambchops!

i found this one quite easy. GeoKidies were looking right at it but still couldn't see it.
Although this is ridiculously easy (I left the GPSr in the car) it is a very scenic place on a nice day, like this morning. The lake is good for all kinds of water sports too.
