In the bushes but was an easy find and on pole.Thanks. Very strong magnet.
The cash was a hard one with a another strong magnet you need to look in the bushes thank you
Great hide. I came back a while ago, and it wasn't there, but I saw some logs, and it said the owner of this cache has replaced it and just went for a quick look and found it! Tfth
TFTC tricky and good find. No need to go on busy road! keep safe and watch out for needless!
Yay! Happy to amend a previous DNF here today. It's exactly where we had looked when it was previously missing. Yay!Thank you!
Finally found this one, after DNFing it in 2022. Still had to be wary of muggles and passing vehicles, but it was a fairly quick find this time, and it's much easier to be subtle when you're not loitering for 20+ minutes! Thanks for the ongoing maintenance on this one, it's appreciated!
Out with Goldberry17 and Kaz444.Goldberry took us straight to this one which was just as well because we were in between trains on our way from Hawkesbury River to Newcastle. TFTC.
Today was the day that I corrected a DNF on this one. Found today with 2pods & Kazz444. Thanks to previous advice from Sammitz72 we had success today. TFTC
Great day out caching with 2pods and Goldberry17. On the way home we decided to jump off the train at Gosford. Quick walk to GZ and find. Quick walk back to train home. TFTC
Weve tried to find this one 3 times and we still cant find it. Any other hints??
Sneaky hide I thought it would have been elsewhere. In Gosford meeting a friend for lunch. Signed lig and replaced. Thanks to Shifter Brains.
A trip north to pick up something and so of course took the opportunity to collect a few caches. No muggles about but took way too long g to find. Signing duties complete and re hidden. TFTC
Early morning one before work, I made it into a tough one for me. Although , only 10mins at the most. Thanks ShifterBrains
Yay!! Redemption!! Finally got this one. After reading previous logs, looking at photos and multiple searches of all things metallic, I was about to give up when I spotted the sneaky thing! Can't believe it has taken me this long! Thanks for the hide and maintenance on this one Shifter Brains.
Hi Shifter Brains,
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Grrr - Shifter Brains!! I had two attempts at this one this morning but couldn't locate it. It's driving me crazy!! I am sure I am in the right spot, probably been staring right at it!! Will head back on the weekend when there is less muggle activity as I am sure I looked rather suspicious this morning. Good to have a challenging one to come back to next time I am in the area.
After some caches today to up the calendar count. Decided I could cherry pick some caches closer to Gosford and augment them with some ALs.
Didn't get everything I wanted - one multi left me unsure. But picked up a puzzle I've had in the back pocket for years, and managed to expunge a previous DNF.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SCTION###
In the middle of collecting the Adventure Lab locations, I stopped here for what I hoped was a quick find.
Quite a few logical and attractive spots were searched, but nothing spotted. I did note some work has been done by council here, but I suspect they weren't involved in the MIA container. Hopefully I'm wrong, but it wasn't here for me today.

Couldn’t write in the log coz the paper is destroyed but it was our first ever find ️
An interesting bit of history here, would have been nice to see the original building when it was still standing. We will have to make an effort to get to the other signs throughout Gosford.
We attempted this cache in the morning with no luck. We thought we had checked every possible place matching the hint in between passing muggles. We read a few old logs on the train and came up with some more ideas.
On the way back home late at night we came back and had cache in hand almost before we had even stopped walking. Not sure how we missed it the first time around.
Thanks for the Cache!

We were looking for a day trip from Sydney and our geoson's friend had mentioned Gosford and Terrigal. So off we trotted in the morning. This was the first cache I searched for and in the morning I had no luck finding it. After the DNF I had a look through the photos and saw one that have me the a-ha moment and so before taking the train back in the afternoon I searched nearby and it was there. Good to get one smiley face in Gosford. TFTC.

Nothing here. Found out from previous logs what we were looking for, and found one very likely location, but despite a thorough search there and in all the less likely locations, the cache was nowhere to be found.
DNF with Laimelde. Hopefully can come back and find it another day after the CO checks on it.
Out doing the adventure lab and saw this one was close by. No luck here while others say it is a quick find I struggled, lol, I must be tired.
Waiting for the son to arrive on the train, I had a bit of time to look for this one. In the darkness I felt around in a likely looking place and put my hand on it straight away.
We will be going out to check and maintain this cache in the next couple of weeks.
To help stop the spread of COVID-19, the NSW Government has ordered everybody to STAY AT HOME unless you are: shopping for essentials, receiving medical care, exercising or travelling to work or education.

Who knows how long this current lockdown will last! Right now, every one of us has an important part to play in helping to keep our families, friends and the wider community safe in the fight against the spread of COVID-19, by STAYING HOME. Unfortunately, the situation is not improving and there have been an increase in the number of finds on our caches.
As a result of the health authority’s directive, we have decided to disable this cache and respectfully request that you do not seek out and claim a find whilst this cache is disabled. If you do log a find it WILL be DELETED.
Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to bringing our caches back into play after the restrictions are lifter.

Took a while because of how sus he probably looked but wasn't too hard to find in the end. TFTC
Staying at the Gosford hotel nearby tonight...97 year old elevator...iron gates to close...pretty cool...drizzling but we couldn't resist this cache nearby...out for a search between beers and great bar food...found with Robbieracer66...tftc
Found it!
Was absolutely disgusting, I gathered that after reading the last few posts. The only paper I had was a Woolworths receipt so I popped it in some plastic and put it back in. I’m a local so if I get around to it I’ll replace the log.
