The cache has become waterlogged and will not be replaced.

2542.

Found this one without any issues but this one had a bag on the outside of the container. All this does is causes condensation to form on the inside of the bag and then as the container heats and cools it draws the moisture into the container so now everything is wet!

Thanks cphoenix and Bateau Bay Bandit for the cache but you need to dry this one out.

The mattress bridge was under water so we crossed on the bridge made from 8 shopping trolleys, a TV and microwave, and who knows what else under the water. The cache was soon found but very wet and unloved. Logged our find and replaced some of the snaplock bags. TNLN but thanks for the hide.

Shame the trolley collector isnt in to doing caches......he could have retrieved a few trolleys.
Thanks for the cache

Enjoyed this one a lot. Went with DS jr and he was right into it. Cache a little effected by the recent heavy rain and could do with a freshen up. Not a place I would normally go.

Not a bit like London this one we went round in circles a bit and crossed the mattress bridge before getting to GZ TNLN TFTC and greetings from the UK

Found with Geo-uncle Lat & Long Junkie on our Top Gear Tour down south. TFTC.

Nice walk in the bush at the back of the shopping centre. No mozzies, no mud, and the cache was an easy find. If only they were all like that. TN/LN/SL.

The contents are rather wet. Being made of paper this isn't exactly good.

log sheet was a little damp.. did have us confused at first, but base maps on gps had the creek a little out.. found eventually.. TFTC!!

I have previously looked for this cache without sucess. On that visit it was pretty grotty in here but it was a lot better today. I can't understand why I couldn't find it before. Cheers.

Made a quick night dash from the nearby carpark to hunt for the cache, and we found it! Cheers Gav [3205]

Found with the kiwi team on our great Australian caching tour.
Found at night, and on our way again.

Team GPS.org.nz Cache Raid: Good quick find at night. Didn't want to hang around in there too long. T4TC, M@

Our third find for the night. TFTC

Well this is certainly a cache I would have avoided if I knew the area. After nevigating around the dozens of shopping trolleys in the creek we came across eight needles. I disposed of them as safely as I could, fearful of someone carelessly treading on them. Eventually found the sodden cache. Some experience.

Found this one with my Father, Hoojar and my dog. I ended up keeping my dog quite near me because of the area that we were in. It was so filthy and trashed by people who didn't care. I couldn't get over how many shopping trolleys in the creek there were. Not to mention all the syringes lying around near the cache, which is damp.
I'm not quite sure whether this is the best place to take you animals and definately NOT the geokids.

Parked the car in the Mud Bath parking area and walked in to the creek finding ourselves on the wrong side, fortunately someone has placed a temporary chip board divider across the creek (punched full of holes) if it hadn't been for that I guess we could have trolley hopped across thats right trolley hopped! There must have been 20 or 30 shopping trolleys in the creek. Rubbish strewn as far as the eye could see, I had to stop and clear my mind what was I here for again?
We eventually found the cra- I mean cache we came for and logged a soaking wet book along with the contents, not sure what the highlight here is but Thanks for the cache.

I didn't realise there were so many caches around the in-laws place. Now that the wife knows this she's said theres no excuse for us not visiting more. yes dear!.
Log was a little damp dispite its 2 bags. thanks

Went the long way around but found it quite easily. Had to hide from muggles at one stage.Quickly made it back to the car before it rained.

Trolley graveyard with thongs - not a problem. Took a pair of earplugs and left an anchor just in case (the cache is very wet )...

This was a easy find... Nice walk ... no swaps

Yep. Well we also ventured to the wrong side of the trolley graveyard. Went back to the right side and cache was soon in hand. Cache was quite wet and some contents were mouldy. Might be worth a visit to dry out.

Found it ,,, TNLN

#125 @ 5:30pm - easy find after negotiating the trolley grave yard (see gallery image). Plenty of scuttling skinks made me a little nervous about other residents. TNLNSL - TFTC.

I have never seen shopping trolleys used to make a bridge before. Once I got to GZ it was only a few minutes and the Cache was in hand

I note in the other logs about the trolley graveyard but we stayed on the shopping centre side to find the container

This was to be our fourth and last find of the day however we were unsuccessful...Found the co-ordinates ok but just couldn't find the cache once their!!!

Found it. Took nothing, left nothing.

Well now we know where the shopping trolley graveyard is!
Found at 1300, crossed the trolley creek but realised it was on the other side. Found after short search. Took my non geo brother on his first cache hunt - think he is keen.
Saw a few red dragonflies in area - supposed to be threatened species so an extra bonus for us.

After finding the shopping trolley graveyard we found the site. Wish we had an anti mosquito stick with us.

Used the trolley bridge to cross the creek. Same about the rubbish every where.

SixStars to and froed the creek until we found the cache. Warning - Not just broken glass but syringe disposal boxes as well. Took nothing, left a blue star.

#3 find for today - 19:27. Easy find in the dark without the hints even! The hint wasn't quite right where I found it, but would've been pretty close to the mark. A lot of rubbish and broken glass in the area which was a pity. I guess you get that in built up areas in proximity to shopping precinct. Very wet under foot, I assume this is normally a wetland area or maybe just due to recent rains? Thanks for the hunt, left some earplugs.

Co-ords I got were: S33 22.406 E151 28.265

Rated: for Overall Experience

Bateau Bay Bandit and cphoenix are becoming "The Bandit Phoenix" in the near future.
We will be honeymooning in India until the end of October.
If you have troubles with this cache, be patient and we will address your dramas when we return.

Easy once you are on the right side of the creek.

found this one Saturday had to be careful as there was muggles nearby. I hope the people at Coles find out about this place as it looks like half their trolleys are lurking around here.

9:32am
Such a wonderful area to come to. Signed the log.

Another find. This was hard one if you dont know the right clue.

Did not find cache this so easy.My wife lost her footing in this area and lost the mobile phone in the creek.Had some fun though.TSLSSL

My first cache in the series. The cache is in good order even after the floods recently.
TNLN.
Thanks for the cache.
Regards Philma.

Only the 2nd to find this one....
Wasn't that hard.... Not a very pretty location I might add!
TNLNSL and grabbed clue
Thanks

Four of us searched for the cache for 20 mins.It was quite an unpleasant place.There are plenty more caches on the coast

Another quick and easy find. Obviously on a locals shortcut.
