Couldn't find this cache. Visited with geo-minions and Geo-Pop and looked everywhere. Looked like lots of activity around the location mentioned in the hint but we could not find the cache. Is it missing?
Could not find this cache. Looked everywhere from the old tree stump and beyond.
Out and about today with IolantheK.
We are in Byron Bay to find her 6000th cache.
Which we did with Easterly Extreme at Byron Bay. [^]
Then it was down to Ballina where I have not found most in town.
A quick find and then another find There are two containers here, one on top of the other. You will find our name in the systema.
Thanks for the cache.

Brother Colin and I were out today chasing a big milestone for me After it was done, we did some map comparing, and turns out we both had loads of caches to do in Ballina, so we headed further south. First a stop for lunch, then more cache hunting
A bit of a damp walk to GZ, but the hiding spot was obvious [^] BC made the find (a small sistema container), but when I went to put it back, there was another container (a glass jar) in the same spot We left both in place. TFTC, Team Hylton.

Until today neither Purple or Darkness had heard of "Ballina's Botanical Gardens' This was an enchanting walk although would be interesting (muddy?) after big rains. The nearby pond looked artistic with greenery covering it.
The clue was spot on and the newly fashioned hidey spot was perfect.
Thanks for bringing us here TH.

Found after attending the Easter Mega at Stanthorpe. A reasonably sunny day perfect for resuming my campervan holiday and my hunt for caches down the NSW coast. I found 2 cache containers - impossible to properly sign either of them due to soggy logs. Took photos of containers & GZ if proof ever required. Needs maintenance ASAP & best to combine both containers. SL.TFTC!
Signed log
took nothing left nothing
contents were very wet container might need replacing

cache find #3114 Doing the mozzie stomp as we had to dry out the soggy cache. We signed our own notepaper and placed that in bag, as the log book was yuk. TFTC.
Visiting Ballina with geosons from Gold Coast. Cache open, wet & in plain sight
Note pad was water damaged. New piece of paper in there. You will need mozzie spray
Needed a cache for the day and this was close. Thank goodness it was an easy find as the mossies would have carried us away. TFTC
Mozzies were out in force today as well. Some fantastic spider webs along the walk too.
Easy find. TNLN. SL. TFTC

Coordinates were well off. Just as well geowife saw the cache. In a hollow which itself was full of water. Log book not in plastic bag so it was also wet - so wet we could not sign it. Put a few pages into a new plastic bag and moved the cache higher so now it is out of danger. CO - it needs your attention. Find No 5 on day 2 of 5 days to Canberra.
Couldn't write in the book, it was soaked!! Loads of mozzies!!!! Nice little walk tho.
Nice place for a walk or picnic.
Bring some mozzie spray as they get a bit thick near the cache. No swappables at all in container
Also the owner may want to do some maintenance as the cache was very wet and the log was very waterlogged.

This was a nice Rea but as we were adding our name to the log we noticed a couple of strange people nearby so hurried it back to its hiding place and left as soon as we could. Would not like to come here on my own. TFTC
Out doing a little cycling around Ballina and enjoying the trails - nice park to stop for a rest
Easy find. Not sure if the others loitering were fellow cachers or not. But drying log signed and small jar replaced next to eclipse box. TFTC

Container and log book very wet! Lovey walk though on a perfect day... TFTC!
The Eclipse container has lost its lid and the paper is soggy.
I have replaced the zip lock bag and we found a small jar we have popped the log in the same spot next to the Eclipse container. But a new log is needed

Terrain is okay but the mozzies were ferocious, wear repellant if looking for the ones in this park.
The cache has lost its lid, the soggy log is very full and whole cache needs replacing with new log in new zip lock bag

It was very wet underfoot, but we found the cache anyway. The used condom immediately next to the cache was a little off-putting...
No mozzies for me! Just good coords and a quick and easy find. T4TC Team Hylton
The mozzies were like elephants. I swear some even had trunks. Thanks for the fun.
Thanks to Team Hylton and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Be aware - the elephant size mosquitoes literally carried us away and we had sprayed our clothes (before putting them on), bodies (before dressing and again on arrival), hair and socks in preparation for this find.
Just making it back to the car alive, we headed on to the next cache via a quick transfusion at the local blood bank

I was driving past today and knowing this one needed maintenance, I dropped in a new container and log. The last container was not in a good state, so the new one is nice and dry and good to go.
Last one in Ballina today. The mozzies were zooming in and so had to make this one a quick find. Thanks team Hylton.
Quick 2nd find of the day.

TFTF. Thanks for the heads up about mozzies left hubby to write our name in log. Great spot for dogs.
What a gorgeous spot! Mozzie alert though! Cleaned out container of all soggy stuff and left a couple of bracelets!
Found cache. Was wet, tried to dry it out and put in new paper. Our last day in Ballina. TFTC
Lots of scampering men in checked shirts both times we visited. Not sure what this all means but have a fair idea. Lets just say this is a cache for the broad minded. Thanks for an interesting find.
This is Our second time at this delightful spot. Not sure how long ago the grass in the cache area was mowed, ground is very wet. Cache still well hidden unfortunately extremely wet. Some maintenance needed. Well worth the visit.
DNSL due to wetness. TNLN TFTH
