With 72 cache finds under our belt, TeamWolfie has decided it’s probably time we should give a little back to the geocaching community and make a few more hides of our own. We figured we’d try a sneaky micro in a location fairly close to home.
Cathargo Caught (GC1KR2B) is located just outside one of Gosford’s original apartment unit complexes – nestled in the foothills of Rumbalara Reserve. The name will make a lot more sense to all those who visit this cache location.
A word of advice if you intend to go on the hunt for this cache: there is no need to enter the private property. The property boundary is marked by a white surveyor’s peg on the “letterbox” side of the driveway (near palm tree). If you extend an imaginary line perpendicular across the driveway from that wooden peg, this is the property boundary – and there is no need to cross this line. If you pass the letterboxes, you have gone too far.
Parking is strictly not permitted on the private property.
This is a rather sneaky micro, made more-so difficult by an intermittent stream of resident muggles coming and going. Take care when searching, and beware of spiders.
Geocaching is a 24 hour activity, so anytime is a good time to go caching. Such was the case on my early morning drive to work this morning, stopping to pick up a handy micro-cache near one of the roadways on my route to work.
I’d actually been meaning for a while to have a go at this cache – it was just a case of waiting for a rare time where I was running a little early for work and had 5 or so minutes to spare.
The Stairway to Deafen (GCX5RE) micro geocache by zebrafive is in located in the backstreets of Sydney’s Darling Harbour precinct. I’d already used my iPhone and Google street view to “case” the general area in my spare time at work in recent days, so it was now time to put my research into action.

Turned out this was a very quick park and grab. The cache hint gave me a very good idea of where to sit and feel, and I’d located it in under 30 seconds.
Signed the log, and quickly returned to the car, and yes… I just made it to work on time. Thanks zebrafive for another good one in a sneaky spot!
The new bridge is a shared cycleway / pedestrian bridge between Woy Woy and Koolewong, and is the home of a micro-sized geocache by GeoMonkeys, appropriately called New Bridge (GC123PQ). It’s a small cable-stayed type of suspension bridge, and has a reputation for being a little bouncy when it gets a certain resonance!

Despite an abundance of muggles, we were determined to find this but unfortunately we left empty-handed after an awkward 15 minute hunt in all the little holes and not finding the cache. Even despite reading the hint, and looking in so many of the apparent places, it just didn’t want to make itself known to us today.
Wolfie leaves the bridge, disappointed.
TeamWolfie had to walk away from this one today. But we’ll be back for another go soon.
