Second cache for the day. Tried to find the cache from the south but could not pass the rocks with 18 month old geo-nephew. Second attempt found us climbing down a steep cliff, on our our third attempt it was an easy walk up the beach.

Easy find but the cache container is in need of repair as it is shattered. All contents are still dry but container will need replacing.

Once we worked out how to get to GZ a lovely wander down and veiws complimented this cache.

Found it... T nothing, L T/B.

Nice bit of rock climbing involved as came in on wrong beach!!! T T/B, L nothing.

Great spot for the cache, found it easily, over from UK on holiday. TNLNSL. Dropped TB (Pinto the horse). Thanks!

Found it easily enough. Nice walk along beach except for forests of seaweed. took purse and left yo yo.

I think I took the long way round! There were a few muggles about enjoying the long weekend sunshine, but I found the cache pretty easily without them really noticing me. Took an orange whistle, and left a gold star. Thanks Grank.

13:51 #3 find today. Again, this took a bit of figuring how to approach GZ but once I had the right track it was fairly easy to find with the hint given. A lovely spot to visit. Getting back to car parked above was a little tiring though TNLNSL. Noted cache is pretty chockers.

Thanks for the cache Grank.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Our 3rd find of the day after work/school.
The hillside has slipped quite badly recently, but the cache has survived ok.
The kids took a wind chime for mum, and left a pot timer in return.

Thanks for placing this one in such a nice spot.

This was our first cache, and we found it. The kids were so excited to find "buried treasure". Great location.

Nice sunny day, but COLD wind. Brrrr. Lovely spot and not too hard to get to with 2yr old C (had to carry him part of the way)and littlest C in the baby sling. TFTC

Took: electronic key finder
Left: Candle holder

11:18am
Easy to find, beautiful day, nice walk, came from the top after admiring the views and left via the beach. Took a seal, left an electronic keyfinder.

Cheers

Not the best of days but a nice walk and an easy find for beginners like us. TFTC

Found by the geokid, whilst I stayed (or tried to stay dry)
A great spot, no surfers, not even in the 'stormie'!
TNLNSL
Thanks

Hmm Hmm Hmm!

All renewed - container, log book, pens, pencils and swaps.

Come and get me!

Nice brief hike accross the beach to this one. Great location. TFTC.

Found this cache after big of properties hunting in Terrigal. A nice stroll along the beach to the cache. Found it easy enough, the cache is not holding well, leaking and the contents are bit damp. Took nothing, left gold pin, signed log, TFTC!

Nice walk.Brought back memories from 25 years ago.
Left Compass torch thing.Took mini egg slice.

Found with Mrs Bent and Geopooch.

I used to live within 1km of this cache when I was 5, so great to make a visit back.

Hot day down on the beach, too bad not enough time for a swim.

TNLN TFTC

Surf was up today, but no surfers to be seen anywhere [:o]
Bit wild and windy I guess. A great beach walk though
Found the cache after a short search. The walk around the point to the south was especially awsome.... 'dude'...
TFTC.

Returning around the point (carefully), somewhat disappointed by the Dangerous Bay DNF, the trusty GPS indicated another cache in close proximity. Despite the lack of notes, Mrs L dived into the bushes and successfully retrieved the container and found a good vantage spot for watching surfers getting good breaks. TNLNSL

Lovely beach walk

i thought i found the right spot to park, but it was only a matter of time to navigate our way to gz.found a cool echidna walking across the path.

Found after a nice walk. Found the cache easily and then settled back and enjoyed the views. Took Tiny Teddy TB. Thanks Grank.

Had to go the long way to get to this cache due to rough seas and high tide. I thought I'd let cphoenix do the honors of retreiving this one after pointing to where it would be. I couldn't bare to see a grown man cry over not being able to find a cache everytime he was with me. hehehe Not to mention he may never want to go caching with me again if he didn't find one soon.

Took - cowboy figurine
Left - fridge magnet

Quite a long walk from "The Dangerous Bay" when the short route is closed.

Am glad we chose the long way though as we may not have been able to return to the car parked at Dangerous Bay as the seas were big and breaking all over the short route.

At least we could escape the way we entered as we now knew of its existance.

Despite the effort, we were treated to some spectacular surf and I finally got the "honour" of finding the cache ahead of the pesky Bateau Bay Bandit.

Took the Star Wars cards and left a paddle game (That's a paddlin!).

Thanks for the hide Grank...lovely place.

Walked to this cache from the other nearby cache. Loved the rock formations and views. Gorgeous area, mother nature has done well in sculpting the rocks. Left travel bug and cowboy figurine and took keyring. Thanks Grank.

Aquick hop-step and a jump and this was No:2 for the day. Love the signs telling you these tracks are unathorised but a better maintained by the locals than the government authority.
Took a tape measure and left some Star Wars cards. Thanks for showing us a lovely spot.

Nice beach, we searched the wrong spot for a while until the etrex changed its mind. Thanks Grank.

Cache#5 @ 3pm

A much enjoyed walk from 'Dangerous Bay'

In conference for the week so needed to do something energetic to start the day! TNLNSL

This on proved difficult due to our approaches...last effort before going for breakfast and it was ours!

Dernel

nice spot, but it takes it out of you

was a nice spot worth the effort

found this one very quickly.. thanks

Another pleasant walk on the beach. Started on the cliff above and decided not to scramble down the cliff.

Took: fish fridge magnet
Left: bouncy ball, springy key chain, spanner and shells found on beach at 'The Dangerous Bay'

Thanks Grank

Went to this cache after completing Dangerous Bay, which as it turnes out must have been the easiest approach. A little bit of rock hopping added th the adventure. Great spot. TNLNSL thanks again Grank

I am logging this old find under my new username

Headed out with the kids on this one. They came in handy getting to the cache...just gave them a leg up. They were standing right on top of it, more interested in an old orange witches hat nearby. Late afternoon visit made it easier to retrieve and replace without being noticed. Left tape measure and Carrot #61, took bracelet and small wooden top.

Found and logged it the other day - dunno why the site reverted and didn't show my log....

anyway. Thanks Grank.

We had to walk by Great Walls of seaweed to get to this cache but get to it we did. We found it quickly (once i stopped standing on it). It was peaceful sitting on the rocks watching the surf. A great place for a cache!

We enjoyed a pleasant walk along the beach and watching the local board riding competition. The cache was found easily and the log completed.

Cache check and all is fine. Dropped off "Extreme" TB.

Found it after a bit of a slog along the beach (note to self, walk on the wet sand on the way back!).

Took the keychain screwdrivers, left a small spinning top turned from Jarrah.

Would have gone on to "A Swell Place", but the other Roses' tummies were rumbling, and overruled. Sigh ...


Cheers,

"A Bunch of Roses"

another great location.
2nd for the day.
no surf today, too much onshore breeze.
came in from the spoon side, well it just seemd the way to do it!
think i spooked another cacher ,as someone was lurking nearby ,and headed in the cache direction, after I left.

The co-ords put me straight on top of the cache. Forries is a great little area - we came in from Spoon Bay over the rocks and just took our time watching the surf. Banzai was not pumping today.

TNLN.

Thanks Grank

yahoo!!! First virgin cache.Thanks for showing us this great place.Found it eventually after two attempts.Bit high up first time like 70m
