Nice little hide! Ran into another couple of geocachers who were lovely! Tftc!

Drove to the end and what did we spy but another car ...groan, but after watching for a few moments we realised we had another geocaches! Nice to meet Jordan and milly, quick chat and signing and on our way. Tftc

Disturbed a few of the local dogs, but otherwise unobtrusive find. TFTC

Visiting Anne of Green Gables 2 and redeeming myself with this cache. Quick park and grab today.

TFTC

Decided to redeem GeoMum on her previous DNF over 12 months ago, quick park and grab these days.

Nice quick find at this one. TFTC.

Quick park and grab. TFTC.

Another find for the Cooper Fam today - TFTC

Great camo. Well done. Thank you for the fun

Another great hide, loved the Camo.

Staying around the Armidale area to cache for a few days.
We were a little hesitant prior to attempting this cache given the 3.5 D and T rating. But, we needn't have been, we surprisingly managed to make short work of it, all is well.
Thanks for the cache

Camo was let down by previous replacement, we rectified it.
Nice one.

It was wet and 7 degrees this morning, so we decided that a few drives to interesting caches would be better than endless in and out of the warm car, so we decided to focus on the letterboxes around Armidale and go from them.
Lucky some of that effective camo material has eroded, made a quick find for us... TFTC!

Found today while on a morning cache drive with my Dad, Mum and Little Brother, it was raining so we decided to head out and do some semi roadside caches before we went and got lunch, found 6 and also found a few more this afternoon...

Instead of heading mega north to Townsville for Easter, Seffnjarah and I planned a long weekend road trip doing some bushwalks whilst targeting puzzles, EC's, unloved caches, high favourite points and some higher elevation caches.

After a night in the swag in Armidale, today we planned on heading west before turning south, and then returning via Uralla to clean up a long list of caches in Armidale.

Having collected all of Armidale Councils annual quota of prickles in my tracky dacks at the TSR at Pinegrove, I was still working on de-prickling my pants when we arrived here. Again I sent Seff into the bush. Unlike at Fallen Pine, this time he made a very quick find.

Many thanks, Nate

Pete

Crookedpete and I were given leave passes from our respective families for the Easter long weekend for a geocaching road trip. I suspect that this was our families' Easter present to themselves to have a weekend alone without our company .

As members of The Bromance geocaching collective, we are a rather contrarian bunch, so while the main geocaching action was apparently up north over Easter we decided to instead head south from Brisbane. Our main focus was on caches with lots of favourites, good DT combinations, high elevation or sitting sad and neglected with no visitors for an extended period.

Another cache where Crookedpete was happy for me to brave the prickles and weeds looking for this cache. I managed to find a fairly painless entry point and was lucky to spot the cache almost straight away as some of the surrounding camouflage had subsided just enough to make the top of the container visible. Otherwise I could have spent a long time looking here. TFTC

Too good for me today

Well worth the drive to detour out here and really enjoyed the camouflaged hide, well done CO, a favourite point from me.

TFTC Nate

Nice quick find - thank you!

A very clever camo, but we soon had cache in hand.

Took rabbit sharpener and left heart locket toy. Signed log.

TFTC

Nice camo job...fave point!! ...tftc

Tftc found with earthly65

When we parked up we wondered whether the terrain might have been a bit on the heavy side. That was until I walked in and felt the vicious attack on my legs from some spiky plant.

I’ve never been bitten by a crocodile (even though it is on my bucket list but in a very low position) so whatever had me locked in place wasn’t ready to let go without a fight. I was wearing long pants and therefore you always feel the tug before the pain. That last sentence reminds me of something from a Mills and Boon romantic novella.

I was getting ready to go on the hunt when Mrs Woodyrothwell was soon handing me the hide. The terrain was definitely earnt (in blood). tftc

Thanks for the adventure

Thanks Nate, cute cache. I did a bit of CITO at this one.

On a few weeks holiday travelling through the high country. Mr, Mrs Coongoola & Geodog found your cache today while enjoying another day out adding to our tally. TFTC Nate

Quick find here in this elevated position. A great view of the countryside. TFTC

After a glorious week staying at Armidale, today we travelled to Tamworth.

We collected the last few caches from Armidale and then on the the way to Tamworth

Thankyou to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches

**Total find count: 1118**

After what has felt like an eternity, we are finally taking our first geocaching road trip since Clear Waters with Crzymelly, TeamPQS and HubbyandMrs.

A local cacher recommended we checkout some of the caches around Invergowrie. So today was the day to check them out.

Gotcha !!! Last for the year. Visited TBs and GCs. and I'm giving a FP for the views you showed us on the way here. TFTC

Invergowrie is full of good caches, and here is another one! Found this one after a short search. After grabbing this one I made my way back to Uralla to have an early Christmas Dinner. Thanks Nate!

Found at 5:27 PM GAFF3.
Last cache for the day and we are going to be late for a dinner gathering at geono's and of course that means we are going to muck up getting to this cache [B)]
We took what we thought was the direct route (well our GPSr said it was) off Bundarra Rd, but found we were on private property So we made a huge loop to approach the cache off Pinegrove Rd.
Then at GZ we way over thought the hide due to the impressively high D/T rating. The terrain was applicable, because we really got hit by those thorny branches [xx(]
Eventually the nicely camoed cache was found and we were pleased that some effort was made to create such a hide.
Thanks RYNO2412.

Found tyftc.

Just spent a few days in Tamworth caching my geodog Scruffy, and we decided to find a few more caches on the way home ...

All Good .. TFTC ..

fav for cuteness. TFTC

Got caught up in the spikes of a plant while searching for this one

TFTC smile 4706 out and about with miss Millie geo dog Thank you for placing this cache for our enjoyment found on the way to Queensland

TFTC on this beautiful day

Very nicely camoed indeed. Left TB from Scotland. TFTC.

Appeared to be on private property! Maybe there's another access we didn't see.

We're back in Australia once again, picking up a few caches as we explore.

Spending a few days in the area, today was the perfect day to scout out a few of the local caches.
Very clever disguise. We lucked out and found it in no time at all. Coordinates were bang on!

Great hide, gets a fav from us. Thanks for the fun Nate !
Cheers from Canada!

Took Nothing Left nothing sl

This one was in hand within minutes. A great spot for it!
We unavoidably educated some muggle locals who were walking their dog.
TFTC!

Our 2nd nights at a farm stay, today we headed to Armidale to find a few caches that have been placed since we were here previously.
This was a great way to visit the city & some outlying farming countryside. A good variety of hides & caches found.
Thanks for placing this cache RYNO2412

Found thanks to a flash of not quite right colour. Got back to the car with one pen too many so back to gz to replace pen oops tftc nate

Thought I may have had more trouble finding the prize!!! Thanks Nate

Pretty spot, found cache relatively quickly! TFTC

TFTC found a few hours after Geono thanks Nate for bringing us to the lovely place caching & driving lessons on such a lovely day

I'm out for a day of geocaching fun with my geomate, jasmr. Like geono., I've never had a need to come to the end of this road. If it wasn't for geocaching we would never see these places.

Well done Nate on your first cache, took nothing, left nothing, let the travellers visit and signed the log.

FurstyFerret and I went caching today and found this one on our travels.

We hadn't ventured up this road until Fallen Pine was published. Now we've been on it twice in a week! What nice views along here. We knew we were quick off the mark when the new cache alert came through...... apparently so quick the glue hadn't had a chance to dry. Great hide! {FTF} at 11.35am. TFTC Nate and RYNO2412, left some swaps and enjoyed the views again as we drove back.
