Well this is almost embarrassing to admit, but having found the cache previously but unable to remove the lid, Kaz444 just comes along and pops it off easily I did the "fishing" thou, which was very satisfying TFTC a favourite from me.
Out for a day of caching with Gaynor56. Bit of work happening in the lay-by but we managed to get over the piles of rubble. Sorted out what we had to do to find the log. A favourite from me.
TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Enjoyable construction
There was x2 containers in the one find.. so once lid is off use the tools given to retrieve the second
Found today with 2pods. Number 3 in our Muswellbrook adventure series, so I left little peg #3 here. TFTC!
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Making our way to Broken Hill for Mundi Mundi Bash. Staying a couple of days in Muswellbrook, today we headed out to find a couple of caches in the freezing wind.We found your cache today. TFTC Rock_Dok
Took a few goes, but i got it in the end. Need to be very very gentle. TFTC. Another fav from me.
How lovely that my job should send me out to this part of the world for a few days. And given I finish work in the early afternoon and I have a hire car, well of course I'm going to go geocaching. Convenient, right!? A quick change into shorts and I drive around the back of Lake Liddell towards this cluster of loved geocaches. Heading towards Muswellbrook, I'm grabbing the geocaches on my left before I turn around and do the same back to Singleton.I do like the New England Highway. Travelling it formed the basis of a holiday I went on a few years back. But only made it to Scone before heading to the Blue Mountains. So, I've never driven this bit before. Powering along, the parking location appears and I hit the dirt, and roll up to be about as close as possible to GZ.Over the berm, now to push through the sapling forest. Really have to squeeze one's way through here, but no navigational issues. And no spider webs in the face. At the co-ordinates it was a quick and easy find. Like the others by this same CO, it was a case of "pop the lid and see what needs to be done". And as usual, it was super obvious and clear.. if not necessarily simple.Again, I enjoy a little field puzzle. Something to slow a geocacher down and test themselves a little. This one made sense to me (I happen to own one similar) and it took me just two or three tries to get the little container and logbook in hand. At 14:55 I signed my name and carefully replaced back as found. Neat. And then just press back through the saplings to the car. And worth noting that the service road here (Hassall Rd) was good to drive and madefor turning back around simple. Thanks for this creative and enjoyable geocache, Rock_Dok
First full day of The Great Cattle Dog Muster, and PirateLinda has finally arrived to join me…
After spending the day watching Championship Shows, cattle & sheep mustering, dog sports & hundreds of dogs there was still time for a couple of caches…
I had noticed this group of highly favourited caches yesterday on the way back from Raymond Terrace, and TALodo confirmed at my event this morning they were well worth the effort… so here we are… and they didn’t disappoint…
With PirateLinda on the phone we parked in what became the busiest dead end road in the whole of the Upper Hunter and I set off jumping a couple of fences to get to GZ…
I like the fact that this cache is made to be idiot proof…
Thanks Rock_Dok

Found with Peppa.
Down south for the Great Australian Cattle Dog Muster.
Thought we'd grab a couple in the late afternoon before it gets too dark.
Good problem solving
Favourite point from me

Another easy find but had fooled for a minute. Have replaced the log so is ready to be found again
We were heading towards Singelton and so had to turn right into Thomas Mitchell Drive, then found that if we turned into Hassell Road, there was a dirt track that got us up to the layby. Initially we tried to approach from Hassell Road, but there were two fences between us And the cache so we had to go back. Once there it was fairly easy to get through to GZ and find the prize, although we could not find a log within – we didn’t manage to open it. TFTC

On our way to Tamworth for our overnight accommodation before attending AgQuip in Gunnedah tomorrow. Stopped here due to the number of Fave Points. It didn't disappoint. Adding another to your tally.

Bit harder to get to, we thought we wouldn’t find it, but a great find for the kids!!
Well that was definitely worth coming off the main drag to get to. Live these caches where thought has gone into them and they're fun tho find. Thank you for placing this cache here
What another excellent cache. I found saw I may need a tott so went back to the car. Tried to use nothing worked. Then lifted. Found the cache. No I hadn’t. Read previous log now I’ve got. TFTC another favourite point from us
The pencil was gone and I didn’t have a pen in the car . So wasn’t able to log name. The magnet was fun though
Another interesting little hide.
Unfortunately the lid had been put on very tight which made it hard to get into.

Thanks for the cache heading north west on a caching Holiday and to see the grandies adding another to the total ..and that's a fav right there love your style
Although it was an easy find, getting there was harder.
I over-thought the placement and took the side road, and then had to straddle two barbwire fences to reach the cache. It would have been so easier to have used the pull-over stop on the main road...
Anyway, at GZ, the fun started as the supplied TOOT was too short as it had been knotted multiple times (deliberately ???). So ten minutes was spent unraveling multiple birds-nest. Then then final cache container was retrieved quickly.

Road tripping from Newcastle back to Armidale and stopped for a few caches. This one was a bit of fun. Thanks for the effort to create something a bit different. TFTC
Quick find with the family on the way home from Newcastle. Another cool cache, well worth the stop. TFTC!
I went fishing . It is nice to see some unique caches. TFTC and adventure (fav point)
20,334. Found with albida33 during a meander up to and around the Tamworth and Armidale regions.
After heading off early this morning we were cherry-picking caches heading towards Scone for the night. This was the next stop and find of the trip. A quick walk to GZ for the fun find.
TFTC Rock_Dok !! Fav Point !

Tamworth and Amrmidale Trip March 2020. Day 1. I headed north with Fitzy_1965 along the New England Highway. We were headed to Tamworth but only made it as far as Scone on the first day. It was a long day of driving with caching only in the afternoon.
Thanks.

Hi there Rock_Dok. Today was a day on the road, heading out of Singleton and towards Tamworth. While we only managed 5 finds today - each one deserves a {FavPt} in itself for the extra effort made by the CO in setting up the cache. I certainly appreciate caches like these rather than a cliplock in the bush or a bison haning off a tree branch. This cache and log are in good condition. SL. Thanks to Rock_Dok for this cache - our find #6563.
stopped for this cache as we were driving home today.. it was a great way to break up the drive. Thanks for placing them Rock_Dok tnln replaced as found sl
Found with Beary_Unicorns on a sunny Sunday afternoon, tftc, love this cache. Fave point from me
Another new favourite cache! Very creative!! And this time guarded by a very much upright and happy kangaroo!! TFTC
Our first find of the day. Mr Horsey set off and found this one and once he figured out what to do, he soon had CIH. TFTC
Stopped on the way up to Muswellbrook. A great cache, excellent method of retrieval. TFTC
An interesting cache glad there were no prying eyes to watch us, as all wasn't as it seemed. SL, TFTC Oh, and a fav from us too
Reperio at 1350.
On the way from Tamworth to Newcastle today, and this was the final cache I stopped by, and what a beauty it was to finish the day off with. As I arrived and saw the cache I figured it was going to be a fairly simply cache container, but upon opening it up, I soon found it was much more than that. Retrieved the cache without any problem, and loved the method of doing so.
Gratias Rock_Dok.

Took a little bit to find. Loved this cache great idea! Left behind a princess wand with Tarmaroo.
I have been driving past these caches for a while now and always saying one day i will stop. Today was that day. Heading home i had to do the turn around just down the road so i was on the correct side if the road. Made a quick find and used the TOTT to make grab the log container. Signed the log and it was onto the next one i wanted t find. TFTC
After leaving Morisset Mega Event, heading to Tamworth for a couple of days.
Again another excellent cache. Appreciate the effort that has been put into the caches. TFTC

Travelling from Morisset to Tamworth as we slowly make our way back the Gold Coast and Brisbane. This was the first of quite a few very creative and imaginative caches we visited today. Each was worthy of a FP. Once at GZ all were easy to spot. Thanks so much Rock_Dok for the time and effort you put into these creations for the enjoyment of others to find and experience.
Parked where suggested and took the short walk over to area around GZ. Soon spied the host and had a think and knew what to do. Soon had the container with the log book in hand. Love this type of hide and the resources the CO has used. TFTC Rock_Dok
