Today I visited Parsley Bay and Milk Beach with my friend from England. So glad the weather is heating up so that the cold water is bearable and rewarding. After a nice swim here, we came back for this cache. I had a brilliant idea for one up on the bridge... unfortunately, its in the fence of another.This cache was a little off coords-wise, but we found using past logs. The cache has become an ants nest, and they are eating up the log.Maintenance / log replacement required. TFTC
I have an idea of where it would be but it wasnt there. I dont think its there anymore
#13202 12:05Walking from Rose Bay to Watson Bay, this was a short detour for a loo stop at ground level and to find a cache.TFTC
Out at Watsons Bay Pub for a work lunch, made a last minute decision to escape the crowd with a pen I found and walk to Rose Bay collecting a couple of unfound and an Ad Lab on the way. At the one I remember being here at the start of my caching career, however today with a little more experience I made a quick find. Past logs helped. Thanks for sharing this location D_Mawson. All in great condition. #2219
Found this nice cache on our coastal walk up to South Head

Thanks for the cache!

Nearly gave up until I read a log that recommended selfie mode on the phone to search! Was difficult on a busy Saturday but stealth is the name of the game. TFTC
Guess I know where it was up among the cobwebs but not able to get up there
Too many families for a thorough search, but i thionk i covered it pretty wel anyway. No luck today.
This is such a beautiful spot, was very pleased to find not one but two caches here. Read some of the comments so knew it was higher up and it was a pretty easy find from there. I found that feeling was deceptive and actually being able to look made it a lot easier. We didn’t have a pen on us but I can easily send some photos through if you need proof. TFTC
Well hidden. Lucky Dan is tall and managed to get a lucky "touch" whilst searching. TFTC D Mawson
After winding through the narrow backstreets, we found the beautiful oasis. Thanks for the cache
Found It!
Thankfully this one was far enough away from the playground (and all the kids) that I could search for it without raising too much attention. After reading a few logs I worked out where it had to be then reached up and grabbed it!

This one was to hard couldn’t find it at 8:26 pm
Please let me know if there’s a hint on the bridge or the signs or in the hole of the tree next to the bridge
Thanks

I think we lucked out as the GPS took us everywhere. Found it tho! Tftc happy 4th July. Stay safe
A nice easy find on a chilly day.
My GPS swung a bit as i was approaching but it didnt take me long to locate it once i thought about it.
I hadnt been down to this beach before so i went for a walk after and enjoyed checking out the area.
Thanks.

Working nearby, a quick walk at lunch gave me the opportunity to grab my daily cache.
A clever little hide that took me a few minutes to work out.

That was tricky! We were only just tall enough. It’s still there, but you need a torch, camera & long arms! (And pen). Cache is in good condition as water can’t get in there. TFTC
A beaut of a spot for a post work paddle. Same as previous logs, had to expand past initial GZ but eyed it off soon after
This was a cool hidden little park.
We searched for awhile in the incorrect spot before a previous log gave us a clue.

Coordinates had us on the bridge, but reading logs we went a little further; quick find after that. Cache is maybe closer to a size small. Cute little park.

Well I definitely SAW it, I just couldn’t reach it. Will come back with a tall friend
What a beautiful location, a magical place. This was one of many caches for the day. It was the perfect day for caching. TFTC
Wow! We were looking in the right place all along but were a bit too short! Luckily a piggyback cape in handy
an incredible spot! we were looking in the right spot but far too short to reach, a v rewarding find
Found. It was difficult the coordinates were taking me elsewhere close by but hints from others led me to the right place. I couldn’t reach it, so I couldn’t sign but have a video of finding it using the torch on my phone
Been here so many times. One of my fav spots ever! TFTC Very nice place, good for a walk and maybe a swim. We were mislead a bit by the compass, but we found it in the end with some acrobatics from M&T. TFTC I don’t want to touch any spiders! P.S. bring a pen
Awesome hiding spot was out for a walk and decided to look if some caches were in the area so didn’t have a pen
Was out for a walk today with teganwells and thought we would try our luck at another attempt on a multi and also saw this on the map. Initially looked in the wrong spot but with a bit more thought the cache was in hand. Nice hide!!
I've been here before - hundreds of times!
Not for the cache though but as a small child as all my grandparents lived nearby so we visited Parsley Bay for picnics and swimming.
I've been here as an adult too. Its a good place to snorkle near the rocks and out along the net. I've even seen a Seahorse or two near the nets.
When I arrived today there was a group of muggles in the park but they had left before I was even out of the geomobile. There's a new bridge across the creek since I was last here, different colour too.
Once at GZ I made quick work of finding the cache as I had a tip from vk2df so came armed with a geocaching tool to help me access the cache. Signed the log and collected the TB in the cache to move along then replaced the cache as found, although from my tip it might be at the wrong end.

Discovered the beach here today on a drive, after seeing photos of it online. Maybe the bridge once had a cache? Whilst walking across the bridge, noticed a light under the water, near the eastern end on the northern side, maybe 5m from the rocks. Clambered down, saw it from a different angle. Weird! Definitely nothing shiny as it was overcast today and the sun was behind clouds. Anyhow, loaded up the map back on the beach, wow a cache 10m from the car!
I guessed GZ location and the GPS agreed. Used the phone to check some hiding spots. Bingo, CIH! Cache and log are in great condition. I didn't take the TB as I have a terrible record of moving them on. Perhaps the terrain rating would be better suited to a 2?
Had a great time for the smiley. TFTC D_Mawson!

OCW the Bebes great day today as Liverpool has just won the champions league. Out for a couple of caches after the game. Tftc
Workmen busy at this site right above GZ. Waited for a break in work before taking a closer look. Alas too much rubble and stuff to dig to GZ. In the near future this place will look all spruced up with the upgrade and the littlies will have a grand new playground to boot.
Had to use my athletic ‘prowess’ to get this one

It’s not going to get muggled anytime soon with a hide like that

Nice hiding spot. Approaching GZ, I realised how muggly the area is and was contemplating whether I should give up on this. Went up the path to the wrong side at first but once I got to the right location, cache was a quick find! But alas, when I retrieved the cache, a giant spider which was probably resting on the cache scurried out! Wonder if this is a common occurrence for geocachers in OZ.
Signed the log and placed the cache back to its hiding spot minus the spider. TFTC
