#18 The Thin Black Line

Our 2nd DNF for Australia Day was #18 The Thin Black Line (GC1C47), a medium sized cache by Hounddog.

Located in a bush reserve adjacent to a coal conveyer belt that feeds the nearby Lake Munmorah power station, we spent about 30 minutes (possibly longer?) here trudging around in the dense undergrowth seeking out this cache.

Mysteriously, we did find a perfectly rectangular “indentation” in the growth that indicated a place where a geocache could have been resting very recently – but if so, it’s no longer there.

We’re keeping a watch on this cache, and might come back again here soon one day for another go.

Paper Magic

Paper Magic (GC10DFM) is a small geocache by the bower birds, located in a scenic location on the shores of Lake Munmorah.

It’s near a van park / mobile home village / prefab home village – and being Australia Day, there was an abundance of muggles about enjoying their day off and celebrating. We surveyed the location a little and discovered a small footbridge leading us across to the correct side of a small creek, but only to be put-off by a “NO ACCESS” sign, and fencing – apparently the bushland here is regenerating.

We’ll come back another day soon to have another go at this – it looks like it could be a lovely secret location.

Teeny Tiny

Teeny Tiny (GC16V95) is a micro/nano geocache by sydney boy100 located in the leafy inner residential backstreets of Surry Hills / Darlinghurst. Typical of this area, the leafy streets are lined with traditional old-style Sydney terrace houses.

Despite it being a quiet Sunday morning, I felt very conspicuous looking for this one, clambering around parked cars, looking up in trees and street sign posts. 

After a good solid 20 minute search I gave up.

The three seekers before me also had no luck finding this, so I do wonder if the cache is still available.
