Random! Collaroy Plateau, New South Wales, Australia
By DrCarlo on 12-Aug-05. Waypoint GCQ454

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Greetings fellow cachers..

AS luck will have it I am over that way on the weekend so I will do a cache check.

temp disabling for now, if I don't find it I will put it back.

Let it just die.

Forget this one....IT's GONESKI!! RAW-POWER

We are coming back up and would love to find this one, but, seriously, a check is in order.

Josh was playing Soccer on the reserve so after the game we thought that we would have a quick look for this one knowing that it had not been found for 10 months. We looked in the obvious places, but didn't find anything. It could still be out there, but it would be really nice if the owner could check and confirm that it is still where it should be and if it is, make the clue a bit more of a clue. Yes, we have a GPS and we know which reserve we are in but don't really want to distroy it by searching for a plastic box that may or may not still be in place.

Came back here with Yewenyi. No smell of dead animal this time, but the cache remained elusive, though we checked under every plant. Has this cache been muggled?

We came, we did not see, it kicked OUR ass.

Reception under the trees is rather flaky, how many GZ's do you want? We checked many, but so much garden waste has been dumped here, a lot of places can't be checked, blackberry is starting to take over in many places, great to get snagged and cut on.

Don't know if we picked up any ticks, but grubs in the trees above showed their annoyance at us being there.

Not somewhere I'll come back to I think.

Happy New year from Team Webguy!!

Obviously this cache was a bit too random for me and my muggle mates - all we found was garden waste that had been dumped all over the GZ - so much for the Northern Beaches being a place where people care about their suburbs!

Anyway if someone - anyone can verify that it is still there I'll gladly give it another shot when I am over that way visiting the in-laws.


Soon after logging this - I found 3 ticks on me -from doing this cache - YUCK!!

Found it OK, answereed the quetion (though we know we got it wrong!) and left one for the mext finder

Seizer

Took too long to find this one and was getting dark. Etrex was also pointing all over the palce. Perhaps next time.

Well unless we were completely blind, I think this one is gone.

Quick walk, quick look, quick find. Answered the question and left another. TNLN.

On a scenic tour of Northern Sydney and popped in to try to find this gem. Neat little hiding spot in the middle of suburbia but found relatively easily once we dodged the Muggles. Took Space Invaders Key Ring and left an I Love Australia Key Ring.

Found it without too much trouble as it was out in the open. Previous visitor doesn't seem to have logged on line, but left a cigarette but which I took (out).

INSECT REPELLENT ESSENTIAL!! Ouch. We are still smarting from vicious little bites from this area several days later. No wonder the locals avoid the place. Don't forget your Aeroguard.

The third visit to a DrCarlo cache today. Really, we're just good friends, really. The cache is still intact but has some odd comments in the log book. Get it while the going's good. Took Invisible Man TB; left a scout badge. Thanks again Doc.

In Sydney visiting some friends for the weekend so I thought I'd introduce them to Geocaching in their local area. Found the cache fairly easily and dropped off the Almost Invisibleman TB.
It seems we missed Gin51e by about 2hrs or so.

Cache #3 @ 1:30pm

Quick easy cache thats all i can say, you can tell not many people walk around this as otherwise the cache would be muggled.

TNLN

'EDIT' Also found 3 ticks on my leg smaller than a pin head, but when put on the scanner you can see what it is.

Took my little sis on her first hunt to find this one and we found it pretty quickley which was good, I was afraid her first outing would be a no-find. Took nothing and left nothing. Thanks

I was in the area so had another go at this one. Found it easily this time, but shame on the locals who keep dumping their lawn clippings and garden rubbish in here. Get a compost bin you morons.

Found this cache on a very wet night. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache DrCarlo. Regards Philma.

Found it! Very dry in there. Took nothing, left Western Plains Zoo key ring.

Dragged the whinging 5yo out to this one, thinking it'd be easier than out last few no-find outings. However, the lantana made the GZ very prickly and when we found the cache - slim pickings indeed!! This one may need to be restocked. Took a toy car, left the space invaders.

This was the second time we went looking for this cache. The first I had sandles on and was turned back by the lantarna. An easy find when wearing good shoes. Picked up Bug Bear TB

A quickie after seeing Chicken Little
A legacy of parental committal
A great place for a small cache
Wasn’t hard to find the stash
Dropped off our little Bug Bear
For the next cacher to take to another lair

Shame about the weeds and plant waste that has been dumped in the area, I was not having much fun so gave up after a while. On the way home I found I was carrying a couple of ticks, one of which was the biggest I have ever seen!
The cache is probably still there, as I didn't really have a thorough search.

There was a stink of dead animal in the air and garden rubbish everywhere. I had a look around but I was worried about sticking my hand into a dead possum (or whatever it was) in my search for the cache, so I gave up.

This would be a great cache location in about ten years time after all the weeds and feral plants have been removed and the natives allowed to grow back. It was quick to find using the whipper snipper.
Answered all the questions and left a question that will require some research before you will be able to answer it.

After a bit of a bush bash through some very obnoxious noxious weeds we located the bounty in good time. Took the boat TB and left some magnets to help fill the cache.

Short ride from home. Thought at first we wouldn't be able to find this one as it was like a needle in a haystack. Mrs Riptide was ready to give up after only a few minutes of looking but after turning round to leave she spotted it.
Picked up a TB and dropped off Pirate Speed Boat TB.
