Logs
Was walking down this way recently and thought to stop by and check in on this being a previous find.
It was not where it was hidden last time.
This was a few months back sorry, came by this page today checking on past caches, saw the logs and thought I'd better add a note.

We should have done some research or at least read the logs before coming all this way on a stinking hot day like today.....
I... found... I think... something that resembled a log book [?] But I fear that this cache may have died [xx(]
I have an old RAAF mate that used to fly Chinnoks. When they were retired from service he left and took up a posting flying for Channel Ten and 3 years ago the Westpac Surf Rescue Helicopter. I was offered the opportunity to accompany him on a service flight today and I could not resist.
"Skids up 08:00" was the call. A short run up the coast to Palm beach, turn around and down to Sutherland before returning to Base.
What a rush
Thanks for the log.

Spent a good hour looking for it with a friend during the day. No muggles around luckily to see us looking for it. Unfortunatly we didn't find it. Looked in all the obvious areas and even further with still no luck. Might have possibly been moved. Can someone confirm it is still there?
wonderful view on the sea, it was windy day and the waves were so big...
the chache needs a new logbook

Over again from NZ so wanted to have another go at finding this one. Was so close to giving up when - YAY!! Thanks very much for a great cache in an amazing spot. Would love to see it when it was a bit windy!!!
Was working close by and just had to take the opportunity to grab a cache.

Hi,
Back in OZ, time for some Geocaching, dropped the Hazard-Perry coin which I hoped to dropped in the US but a ran out of time to do it. I hope somebody else can get it there.
Cheers,

Yahoo, finally found one today. We searched for Stingray Bay and Raiders By The Bay, with no result, so we were particularly chuffed when we found this little beauty. Concealed wonderfully in a great little spot on an amazing headland.
Took American Boomerang TB.

Out with the walking group today and wandered away to find this one. Found reasonably quickly. I was a little concerned with the log being a little damp so gave it some extra protection (plastic bag) and put it back in the cache. A really warm Autumn Day and a great walk. SL. TFTC
This was a nice walk. Talking about destroying the environment. I followed my GPS, noticed and likely spot and bingo, found within seconds. Nice hide. Great views besides the golf course. TFTC
Good spot, nice and cool in the caves. left green thong lock and took audi slug, he will be travelling south from here. didnt know that drilling rig had turned up yet.
thanks for taking me here.

Couldn't find this one. GPS was playing up a treat but we looked all over the place. Great views and we were defintely distracted by watching the friendly golfers attempt to get their balls on the green. Would have lbeen even more "fun" if the wind was blowing and would have liked have given it a go - will have to leave for another day.
NIce quick find over my lunch break. Hadn't been down there before. Thanks. Must be great for whale watching in the right season. Took blue/red rocket man, left green matchbox car.
Absolutely superb location, took heaps of photographs at sunset. And a lot of fun to watch the golfers taking on this special challenge. TFTC, no swaps. Team Vainui
Nice easy find with fantastic views. Haven't ever explored this headland before. No swaps but grabbed the geocoin for my work trip to Melbourne this week. Thanks zebrafive.
This is simply a great cache location - we're very envious. A glorious place to be on a sunny but exceedingly windy winter's day. Interesting to watch the ball belters sending their missiles o'er the water - Kramer would have been right at home. Fortunately a tad to shallow for whales in that direction. We thought this place was a treat to visit. Something about a howling wind and crashing waves that is awe inspiringly attractive. Took not a few photos of course and were very interested in watching the comings & goings of a few ships. Oh yes the cache. Took us longer to find than it should but that was simply due to our own ineptitude. It fazed us not to spend more time than planned in such a locale however. Located it eventually and carried out the required duties. Made no swaps however dropped off the Thanks geocoin and picked up the Grab Bag coin. Thanks zebrafive
A short call was needed as the BT connection to the PPC lost that transfer.
Anyway a nice chance to have a chat with the Spindoctors and then after getting coverage again Spindoc Bob could pass on the coords.
There it was a quick find.
Lovely spot.

This was such a magical spot today under clear blue skies. The tee within the reserve is unbelievable we actually saw a golfer tee off and his ball made it across the water to the green. Enjoyed the hunt for this Alpini finally spied it. Left a coin.
Another great place to watch the huge swell, again somewhere I would probably never have visited. After a short search, cache was in hand.. My first Geocoin for the day.
A game of Golf at this course is definitely on the cards.

3rd for the day with Frippy and Bushy2233. Frippy found this one, he had the advantage of knowing the clue which he told me after he found the cache. Frippy got the coin as he found the cache. TNLNSL TFTC
After the short walk out past the golf course we had the cache, the weather was great and so were the views Frippy grabed the coin and we did the log and were on our way up the coast again tnln thanks....
Great cache, there was a fisherman who just nearly got caught and swept away with the waves. nice cache, great views. waves were crashing over the rocks just as the fisherman walked to the cliffs.
We parked by the old hospital and had a super coastal walk around the edge of the golf course with great views. Those fisherman dodging the huge waves are mad by the way!
As we got to GZ the heavens opened but the cache site provided an ace shelter until it passed.
Dropped off geocoin.
Thanks,

No pen to sign the log though.

Our 400th cache. Spectacular wild ocean views. Fishermen pulling in fish on the rocks below the golf green almost scored a hole in one. TFTC!
Great spot, there should be a secret military base underneath. Now what we need is one of those 6 wheeled geocaching buggies.
An exceptional way to start a long day of caching. This strange spit of stone into the sea was well worth seeing and we took endless photos of the rock formations and immense ships coming and going from Botany Bay. What a place to tee off from!
A National Parks and Wildlife ranger passed us a couple of times in a multi-wheeled vehicle. We never found out what he was up to.
Took nothing, left nothing, thank you for the cache.

It took the three of us about 10 minutes of searching (or just convincing ourselves where exactly we should be looking) before I found the cache in its tight little hiding spot.

This is a great spot. Neither of us had ever visited this part of Sydney before and it was a great day for it. We nearly gave up but after decoding the clue and trusting the GPS, bloopy man found the mark. A great hiding spot and easy to understand how it can easily be missed! Left scuba diver to enjoy the marine park and took "77" green car. We really liked this one zebrafive - thanks!!
Definitely chasing Tufty around today.
This one has taken me so long I have forgotten when I first looked for it.
I must have bypassed that area numerous times and not seen it, How, how, how, how?
Good area if a little windy and the waves crashing in.
Took bean bag ball, left figurine.
TFTC, eventually.

I finally found this after discarding the first place I looked at. Don't you just hate that when it happens.

Escaped from work to go for a walk. A very pleasant day to be out in this part of the world. Found the cache quite quickly (my lucky day me thinks). Took the geocoin and signed log.
Thanks for the cache!

Had a look around but no luck, I wasn't looking very low but maybe that was still too high.
I went too low at first and enjoyed the cool of the cave underneath for a while. It was about 30C outside. I didn't have pen with me so I used a twig dipped in mud to sign the log. TNLN. Thanks.
Nice morning and an enjoyable hunt. This was a favourite hiking area of Pip's family many moons ago. He remembers going over the "old" rickety, wooden bridge! TNLNSL Retrieved Skirtlifter Cache Geocoin. Thank you for the cache zebrafive!
It’s that time of the year again when the whales head north and we spotted a few from the cache location. The highlight was one broaching which then made a huge splash.

Found at 11am. I had the day off so I decided to grab this one in the morning. I really enjoy this area and getting this cache was no exception. Co-ords were spot on.
