We were unable to locate the cache and since it is in a National Park we decided not to replace it, but rather archive it.
It is a shame since the cache was placed nearly 8 years ago.

For checking.
Please note that many of the pictures do not reflect the cache location as it was moved about 150 m since most were posted.

Second look and still didn't find. From the pics it's nowhere near the coordinates and there is no hint. Disappointed as I think the placer needs to go back and check it

I found it and some one moved it 20 meters from where it's suppose to be

This sucker almost had me. I searched high and low, off the the track on both sides! Only when I have given up that I spotted it!

Came down to Central Coast today for some caches.
A nice walk along here and a good size cache was found after a few minutes. Both of our GPSrs had GZ 5 metres off the track so had to rely on the hint. Thanks Shifter Brains

this was the second time I went looking for this cache and could not believe I missed it the first time,It is an excellent hide.Thank you shifter brains .TNLN SL

Great walk with kids! TFTC

Nice one ! Well camouflaged. Left horse, took soldier. TFTC

Found with Grogmonster58 on a wet day on the central coast. I have driven down the express way and often thought that when I have the opportunity I would like to have a look around this beautiful area. We have already started to make plans for a holiday on the Hawksberry river next year and hopefully grab some more Caches in this magnificent area.

There is a little known surf spot over the edge of the cliff out here. Must be 20 years since walking out along the track in a wetsuit.
Soon found the cache with the help of geoson.
Took the chuppa chupps to dispose of.
Thanks Shifter Brains.
Cheers from Browngang

Tftc nice walk

The clue made this an easy find, TFTC

My GPSr took me right to the cache, nice hide. The path was busy with muggles so had to be careful replacing cache. SL. TNLN. TFTC.

I think I'm looking too hard. I'll come back when I have another pair of eyes.

One of 8 DNF`S & 13 Finds on our trip to the central coast from Sydney.
No luck today.
Cheers from CATONY.

Took a while even with the hints. Took Flying Pig travel bug. A track I've always been meaning to walk, thanks for making me do it with a friend, who I've welcomed to the world of GC. TFTC

Thanks again Shifter Brains. Most of your placed caches have taken us to areas that we have not previously been to. An absolutely great walk on a beautiful sunny day.
TN, Dropped a TB. TFTC.

Enjoyed the walk on the way home from Kincumber. Easy find.

Too tough for me today

Lovely area for a walk. Didn't know this track existed, will walk it in summer. TFTC

This one almost beat us, we were way over thinkin it

Alluded us for a while but eventually found it

Hard to find! Heaps of muggles! But made it an interesting find

Nice walk on a sunny Sunday afternoon
Reasonably quick find inbetween muggles - a lot of people walk this track

Found 12/07/2011. Been a bit remiss logging visits. Wet day & needed something to do. This was a nice day - lots of muggles whalewatching. Found by the Mrs while Doc was trying to sort out GZ with the GPS. Nice hide - thank goodness for gloves. Had a little trouble retrieving cache subtley...muggles keep walking along the path - naughty Muggles. TFTC. have always loved this track

Nice walk, coulda done with a suger boost, yet not sure how long those chuppa chups have been there

A nice stroll on ANZAC day. Didn't take too long to find.
TFTC

Look out for muggles on the track walking or running. Nice spot to have a drink. Mum and my brother saw a baby snake. TFTC

Awesome hide, nearly had me stumped, but I wasn't giving up.
A good GPS fix here is hard to get, so pay attention to the description.
BTW anyone needing a thong, there's one nearby.

You will certainly miss the obvious.
TFTC!

Easy find. TFTC

Found and logged at 16:45, On a nice sunny day after the rain
Great walk
Thanks Shifter Brains

It was not obvious from the path, and I did not want to disturb the plants and trees to look for it.

With alturners for this one aswell. found this after not too long. took the tb. TFTC!!!

Decided to try this one after parking at Crackneck. We were walking along, and out of curiosity Mrnoo17 asked how many metres away we were. I looked down at my GPS and we were right on GZ! We had a quick look around and sure enough Mrnoo17 found the cache. Thanx ShifterBrains

Our GPSr wanted us off the track by at least 6m, so we came up with the above coords when we finally found it. Thanks SB, another fine hide.

Great walk, container is different to those shown in pictures.

Nice little hide. Left a Ftf tb. Tftc

Liked it

GPS took us straight to GZ and after a quick look around found the cache. Great walk along the coast and even managed to get another couple of caches. Thanks.

cool hide

TNLN fathers day with the rug rats

Difficult to find with iPhone app but with a little time we got it. our hint (spoiler)
is that there is no need to stray from the path

Quite easy after looking for 10 min. the GPS went a bit funny and stopped working

This took the longest time of any cache today. My GPS can only give me a general region, so after following the geotrails and peering under everything, I read all the logs and then stuck to the path. I looked up and down for a while but it was hard not to look suspicious when people came by (as they did quite often) I kept at it and looked all over again, finally finding the well hidden cache just before I gave up.
As I was waiting to sign the log a young girl came back passed with her mum and said loudly "Weren't you here when we came by before?" I just laughed it off and said "Yes, I haven't move much."
A long hunt indeed..... Thanks for bringing me here though. It's a nice walk.

Good to clean up an old DNF. I was a bit worried as I set off for this cache having just recorded a DNF and remembering GZ from the last time I was here, but when I got to GZ and the much easier then remebered GZ and quick find I was very confused about what i was remenbering. A later reading of the log history cleared up that confusion though.

Thanks.

Very nice walk. Left mini iPod speaker. TFTC

This was our ninth for the day with Geodaughter Christine Vista. Not much to say. Very pleasant walk, a fair few Muggles about, Christine and I threw Stealth out the window, and Chook grabbed the cache.

Nice & close to the track, thanks! Love this walk, have done it many times. Grabbed TB otherwise TNLNSL. Thanks Shifter Brains.

The only find after 3 dnf. Had lost hope on this one also when leosoul had an eye on it... TFTC

Nice little walk. Enjoyed it. Our only cache of the day. Lucky to bend and spot it.

In - TB
Out - Keychain

Leo with family

Very enjoyable walk loved the view. Thanks Shifter Brains

Found this one at 3:30pm - walk soggy in places but still very enjoyable. Thanks!

Found quickly on a beautiful track we had never been on before. Gorgeous views. Thanks.

What an adventure, took a while as it was our first hunt but felt great to find it!!!

Reperio at 1430. After stopping by 'Tanker Spotting', Darwinian and I continued down the coastal walk to grab this one. Spotted it after a couple of minutes, but had to wait for numerous muggles to go by before we could retrieve it. Great walk.

Gratias.

Lovely walk on track to gz and found it very well... drop tb... thanks

Quick easy find, TFTC.

Nice track. TFTC.

Found this while out caching on Australia Day with TheWobblys and The-Don.

What better way to celebrate Australia Day than being out caching with the family.

Took a short walk from Tanker Spotting to find this cache.

Not the day today to explore to much of the walk.

After grabbing the cache we head back to Mingara to cool off.

Thanks shifter

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found while out caching with The Cashman and The Don.

Nice and easy walk out to Gz.

Quick find on a very HOT Australia Day.

No muggles out and about today.

Back to Mingara for a cool swim in the pool.

Thanks Shifter Brains

3406 - A visit to this area with some time for a few caches...

A nice walk through the bush after finding Tanker Spotting - very quiet in here today - Thanks Shifter Brains !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Arriving at GZ it was pointing us into the bush by approximately 5meters but is said don't leave the path, so what we did we worked with the GPS until it was right angles to the path bent down and there is was. Just to think people walk straight passed it even without noticing SL TFTC

Not been on this walk before, however at our age understandable. You don't have to move of the path. TFTC

Found on a nice hot day with a bit of trouble as GPS low on battery and turning itself off all the time but managed to get signal right at the spot! After geo-grankids inspected the cache, took koala keyring and yellow spiky ball and left car and Oz sticker tattoos. A bit of fun and great walk. TFTC

Nice walk on a beautiful day! TFTC

Watched sun rise while doing coastal walk. Great spot. Thanks

Loverly walk saw a eagle gliding on the wind off the edge of a cliff

Geowife and I came out for the coast walk. As I reread the instructions she said Here it is. A lovely spot on a great walk. TFTC

Slight drizzle what a great day for a walk. TFTC

Tftc

nice walk on first day of summer. pity it is cold and raining. I hope this weather is not a sign of the summer we are going to have. tftc tnlnsl.

Thanks a nice walk with the kids

Nice easy cache

Found after realizing you don't leave the track! Nice cache tftf

My second time at this cache, didn't mind returning though, the views are pretty awesome, well worht a short hike.
Left Sydney fridge magnet, TNSL. TFTC

Beautiful spot, all the flowers in bloom. Thankyou Just Ice Au.
TFTC.

Another previous DNF resolved today as we hunted down caches that eluded us previously.

Big shout out to geosibling SuperlativeImminent - First find ever!

TNLN, TFTC!

There were lots of little tracks heading off into the bush around this cache, so I'll just remind everyone - You don't need to leave the track. You will need to get down on your knees and search though. Mind your eyes on the grass trees! Took nothing and left a hackysack. I am really amazed at the number of flannel flowers around here!! TFTC

Like many others before, we took the GC'ers SuperHighway off the track, only to stumble around, trampling the vegetation.
Read the description properly and previous logs, which took us back out to the track, and then cache was discovered easily.
THERE IS NO NEED TO LEAVE THE TRACK TO FIND THIS CACHE.
Loads of beautiful wildflowers around, especially flannel flowers.
TNLNSL TFTC

What a great day for a walk along a stunning path. The bush flowers were amazing, lots of flannel flowers. After reading the other logs, I had seen the track into the bush that other cachers have used to find this one. Please note that as the owners say 'you do not need to leave the path'. Thanks for bringing me to this area, a must do cache.

DNF.......

GazMag

We found this one on a caching weekend on the Central Coast. We went to look for this one after having found "Tanker Spotting". We had a nice walk along the track and enjoyed the great native plants along the way. When we got close to GZ we could see a great deal of trampled vegetation and our GPS pointed for us to walk through there also. We searched for quite a long time and were getting very frustrated by the lack of a clue to help us. After reading the last few logs we decided there was a chance that the listed co-ordinates were not accurate and it appeared as though a few people were mentioning not to leave the track. We changed our search area and eventually found the cache. PLEASE Shifter Brains could you think about adding a hint or additional information so that other cachers don't go continuing to trample the native plants. The listed co-ordinates were not acctually where we found the cache, so maybe they need to be corrected also. TNLNSL TFTC
