needs to be archived or replaced!:( ( see photos)
Ground zero was definitely just that.
nothing lives at GZ now except the drunken louts who throw all their empties in a pile here.
I arrived to find that the trees are dead and gone,and new growth of bittou( sp?) bush is coming on. Surprisingly enough I found 3 pieces of evidence that the cache had exsisted.
1: a clear plastic "grank" signature item, only 2m from GZ
2: a set of plastic P plates magnetic i think, still rolled up as if in a cache.
3: a golfball
If anoyone can identify leaving these items ( yes i know Grank left the Knucklehead). I have retreived the items and will re-distribute them in other caches.

After a fun scramble over the rocks around the point to the north in the rain and gale force winds, I arrived at GZ 
GZ is a mess though and I quickly resigned myself to a DNF. There are trees down everywhere and piles of dead vegetation
If the cache is there it must surely be buried.

Accompanied by Bob and Dallas as they showed us around Wamberal, we thought this would be an interesting walk along the beach. After some careful rock climbing around the point, we got to what had to be the location but were dismayed to see that the scrub had been cleared along the verge for about 10-20 metres either way in what could have been a removal program of weeds or something else. Intensive searching failed to show any sign of a cache, so suspect the worst.
great spot for it. excellent scenry , with the waves lapping near gz. needs a new log book
Great location and found the cache easily. The plastic bag is a little worse for wear so the log book is damp. TNLNSL. Thanks Ourhome for the walk.
Once again cphoenix's attempt at a 'boy' look failed to find the cache and it was up to super bandit to give it a girl look to find it.
After finding the cache at Dangerous Bay cphoenix and I were going to walk directly towards the next cache but then we soon realised why this was called Dangerous Bay (The water was very rough and the tide was coming in very fast)and decided to abort the shorter route in favour of a more strenuous yet safer way to get to the next cache.
Took the wizard figurine and left green bear.

Found this one at high noon with the place deserted bar a man and a dog.
Well, actually, BBB found it again. I always get left holding the GPS!
Thanks for the cache ourhome. The message from your daughter was an added touch and this "hiker" appreciated it.
Took super bouncy ball and left a spinning top.

Found this one when I was Mrs Cheesy Pig. I have struck out on my own and am now logging the caches I found in my previous persona (but not the ones found only by Mr Cheesy Pig of course)! Let me know if you would like me to find it and log it again but under my new name.
Great day for caching, but we'll pick a safer beach to swim at! This was our first NSW cache, and it was a beauty. On the way to the cache we were stopped by 3 young surfers who wanted us to take their photo - so we obliged! The cache was an easy find, took 'donkey' card game, left a Tasmanian Devil. Thanks!
Don't know what went wrong as everyone else seems to have found this easily. Spend probably 20 minutes around GZ but could find nothing. Oh well, next time.
While doing this cache we discovered another beautiful beach. Cache easily found. TNLN. Had a chat with a young surfer from the area, he was all of about 10 years old, and very polite to boot. Thanks Ourhome.
Walked around the headland from the nearby cache soaking up the morning sunshine. Found the cache too easily as it was well exposed, so had some muggles who'd signed the log.
TNLNSL and then rehid the cache a bit better, its now covered with leaf litter.
Thanks from the Rats

Another nice beach but still not too many people around on a hot day. Quick and easy find.
Nice walk along a beach. After reading all the warning signs along the path to the beach we can see how the cache was named.
Left: bouncy ball and Donkey cards
Took: toy bunny
Took "Red Double" TB for a ride.
Thanks Ourhome

A surprising number of people out walking delayed our search for this one. Enjoyed the beautiful sunny day for a while before doing a proper search and finding the cache.

Very nice location and not as dangerous as we thought it might be. This was an easy find on a nice and sunny day. We also took the time to climb the rocks at the end of the beach. Absolutely stunning views!
We took nothing and we left some foreign (Polish) money.

The day was gorgeous so this was a perfect way to enjoy it. A lovely stroll along the beach and a couple of caches. Nice easy find in a clever spot. Thanks Ourhome. Took nothing left pencil.
Found it today - great spot. spear fishermen were all coming back with 6 to 10 good fish each. might have to go back with a speargun sometime...
Read your daughters note - good to see geokiddies getting involved from a young age.
Thanks for the cache.

Your first cache you found was my Kyasshu (you still owe me a haiku
)
This was your 1st ever cache and I FTFed it.
I don't think I had a choice given the circumstances.
When I got home I checked your list again - I should have seen it - no pen. So all I could do was take some photos to prove my find as I didn't have any writing implements either
The lid was partly ajar so things were a bit damp. I took out the pair of bears and swapped it for a dice - objective being to reduce the load a bit so hopefully the lid will stay on better. Maybe next cacher can take a big rubber band and put that around it as it may have been animals that opened the lid - there was a calling card on the lid!
The surf was great today and the dog and I enjoyed the walk. Thanks for the cache!
