Out caching with RoddyC , Hatzofff and Echocage1.
RoddyC had to do a maintenance run and the rest of us had caches to find. Quick find and log signed before replacing as found. Great scenery around this area. TFTC

Out with the mob today on a run to Kyogle testing my new geo adventure mobile and popped in here for this cache
TFTC RoddyC

Cache OK. Trees have really grown. New log sheet in play.

Found with no probs unfortunately the log is too wet to sign! tFTC

Can't believe how long it took for me to read the information properly and look in the right direction.

TFTC. We are camped at Kyogle Showgrounds with our motorhome group for a birthday get together. We spotted this series along Collins Creek Road. With a couple of hours to spare this morning we headed out to explore this area. My first job in Melbourne was on Collins Street and we know the CO as well so it seemed appropriate to do this small series. We did not have any issues finding the caches although a couple of logs had got a bit wet.

I was here in Sept 18, so it took me awhile to get this one from a blue face to a smiley face. Still got a blue face on the bridge. Thanks for putting these out

Heading out to Kyogle today, as we are travelling this way with the caravan, and luckilymwe did, as there was not always enough room to get off the road.

We left the caravan at Rathdowney and took Running creek road heading south. Our aim was to collect caches and enjoy the drive and scenery. We haven't been this way before. This was one of the caches we targetted and found. The green of the countryside was so beautiful and the creeks running were so pretty and clear. The high grass caused us some grief when searching and a bit of time was attributed to removing cobbler pegs, pesky things that they are. We didn't realize we'd get as far as Kyogle but as we followed the caches we found ourselves getting closer. Went to town for a late lunch, fuel top up and purchased some lovely fresh fruit and veg from the fuel outlet. Thanks for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. We enjoyed our jaunt along here very much.

Thank you, RoddyC, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Bravo Grannysmith1947 better than me
Thank you ️

Nice not so easy get this one. A few scratches and splinters to show for that! otherwise fun cache! TFTC.

I am glad my geo hubby was with me other wise it be DNF

For the month prior to my visit to Australia, I spent some time trying to solve some mystery caches around the Brisbane area. At one point I had to contact RoddyC for a question one one of his caches. We got chatting and he kindly invited me to join him on a maintenance run which we did today. This led to my most productive day caching so far.
Not so difficult to find this one but a slightly demanding one to log. Managed it just. Tftc and UTV

On our way north we took this road and tackled the various caches along it.
There looked to be a few bees buzzing around today.
We buzzed around GZ and found the cache.
TFTC

Mmm. Bit of coordination required to remove the lid and the log. All sorted and log signed.TFTC

Finally got a chance to find this DNF! I don't know how we missed it last time because we spotted the cache from the car this time. We quickly had the cache in hand, signed the log and headed back to town to get the cache we missed last time. Thanks for the cache RoddyC

I've got a few beehives myself, so I found this cache very interesting. Quite a lot of bees out this way. I love how this beekeeper has set up his hives. Once I checked out the hives, it was time to grab the cache. I spotted it very quickly, but retrieving it took a little bit longer! Loved this one! Thanks RoddyC

Checked out our Northern NSW placements over this weekend. Happy to say most were in very good order - thank you fellow geocachers!

Placed a new container here, as the previous one has gone missing.

Out today on a weekend caching run in the area with RoddyC, Hatzofff & Snickersallan. Stopped here to find this cache. SL then returned as found.
Mmmmmmm.....honey!

Found on 9 February 2019 at 1.02pm. TFTC, RoddyC.

Travelling around this lovely countryside with geo friends and enjoying seeing the local history. Was fortunate to be with the CO when they were carrying out maintenance on this one. Easy enough for me to reach and sign log & wow, there certainly is a lot of buzzing going on up on top of that hill, some serious honey being made!

Found February 9, 2019

Found while on a maintenance trip with RoddyC, Snickersallan, Patrol14 and Selva Girls.
TFTC

On maintenance run today. Cache is replaced February 9, 2019.

I made a few comments in other caches of this series that I thought this was MIA but after looking at other cachers comments I possibly should of climbed a tree.
However my phone was bouncing me backwards and forwards across the road and I looked everywhere up to 6 feet above ground or should I say I believed I did.
Anyway I also was not able to get the bridge one so I will have to come back for this one and it.
However this one has not been found for over 5 months with some climbing a tree or two. It may just be gone as well.
Thanks for placing this one and as I said above hopefully it will be a smiley for me one day

We decided to make a day trip to Kyogle to try to achieve the “In September, you might be an Adrenaline Junkie if…” souvenir. We stopped twice to attempt this cache but could not climb very high in the rain. We will be back again...

No luck with this one. Went up and down a couple of times but couldn't find it.

Climbed up tree and full fences bugger

Arrived at a large tree,tried to spot the cache before attempting to climb the tree . Couldn't see anything from the ground, so moved on to the next one.
Thanks

A few days around Kyogle district looking for caches. Always enjoy doing caches in the countryside compared to suburbia. Doing the caches along Collins Roads and nearby was most enjoyable bring us (that being cachers) to roads we would probably not decide to travel along. Thank you for placing these caches. TFTC Mr and Mrs RoddyC

Having a caching day along the roads just north of Kyogle - the cache placements certainly took us along roads less travelled and some amazing views were discovered.
A very sweet find for us - thanks.

I am still on my way home from the OZ Geomuster Mega event held at Morisset over the Easter week-end.
I arrived in Kyogle mid morning after staying the night about 30km and started finding all of these new caches up in the hills. I ended up finding them all, which makes for a good day. [^] The Lancer did good.
A short search before I found this one nicely tucked away. [^]
Thanks for the cache.

This was a tricky one today considering the location of the cache, the weather and my large hiking boots I was wearing.
Managed to get my name in the book.
Thanks

I like these sort,had to step up a notch to find this one.TFTC.

Caching catchup to the fergs. Tftc tnln.

Only a few more left to find, but Dez was still keen as mustard and first to scale the lofty heights required. No bees were harmed in the finding of this cache. TFTC

After the Australia Day event earlier in the day, seffnjarah, CrookedPete and I hopped into the car to clean up the Collin's Creek Road caches, as well as the FTFs we'd drawn at the event. I made a small hop to retrieve the cache here. TFTC

After an Australia Day event at Sheepstation Creek this morning with JeznDez and SeffnJarah, we completed a loop collecting these new caches.

Many thanks RoddyC

**FTF** at 9.30am. This series of caches was published while I was on my way to the Border Ranges. I still needed to set up camp, so did not even consider going for FTF. The next morning, after breakfast, I had a tiny bit of internet coverage, so decided to check on these caches. It seemed that the locals were sleeping in, so I decided to make my way to the closest ones.
As I parked the geomobile, I was amazed at how many beehives there were. I made my way to GZ where I quickly spotted the cache. GULP!!!! The things I do for a FTF!!!!. Up I went, and managed to get my name in the log whilst hyperventilating. Down again before fear freezes me in place. I really hope there are no more like that! They might be easy for some, but not for me! TFTC
