I found this one out in the open, but re-hid it a little better.
Found with AlbyDangles on day Four of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey or Bust" tour.
Cheers, EPs.

I solved this puzzle a few days ago, today we took the opportunity to go grab a few caches in the area. On arrival at the GZ a quick scout about and the cache was soon in hand. Signed the log and placed the cache back into its hiding place and off to find the next one. TFTC I’m really enjoying the SOTN series

Perfect weather and perfect opportunity to get the kids out of the house for a couple of hours. We turned this into a numbers race. It was Team Kyi vs Team Ash. SO the race begins. 
This was found by Team Ash.
Thanks for this series 2y's we are enjoying the series.

A quick find and I'm pretty sure that I have ridden [horses] through here before and that this area was once part of a cross country course for eventers.
I sure would have been moving a lot faster through here back in those days!!! The pace of our pastimes has certainly slowed down!!
Thanks.

Took the longer way to walk to this cache, and then it took me quite a while to actually find cache.
Found this cache on a 2 day trip to the NW, covering over 1000 kms and finding around 100 caches of both GCA and GC

Solved this series when it first came out and found some on the weekend of the Goat Island events. We made a last minute decision to travel to the coast for the weekend and knocked off a few more today with whitewebbs and Tassie Trekkers whilst in the area. Between these and the PCT trail it had been a long day but most enjoyable. This cache find promoted the gooseandegg team to Arch Duke. TFTC 2y'stassies
This was the last one of the day and the light was fading quickly. I wasn’t sure wether I would have enough phone charge or light to find it. However I had just found one down the road so I may as well try as it could be awhile before I am back here again. Luckily it was the first place I looked and the clue was spot on as were the coordinates TFTC 2y’stassies

Last one in this area and another neat hint saved me some time and getting wet again. So very happy with that. Last time I was here it was bushfires (Jan 16) and this time wet and wild rain storms. Maybe next time I'll get lucky...
Thanks again 2y'stassies....

TFS are supposedly conducting some burning in this vicinity with access taped off. Thought I better log this cache just in case, but I'm fairlly certain that all 3 caches in this vicinity will be safe as it doesn't look like much burning is going on. Parks did conduct burning on the western side of Mt Montgomery, with the PCT currently closed.
The cache was quickly found with accurate coords with cache and contents all in top condition.
Another Dial cache done and dusted...still quite a few to go...thoroughly enjoying the caching close to home.
Many thanks 2y'stassies for placing all these caches for us all to enjoy...and for all the work involved....very much appreciated....cheers ST.

Spotted these new caches on the screen this afternoon and we decided to make a quick trip along the coast after work to see if we could find any. We needed a GCA cache today to fill a gap on our calendar so great timing. This was the first one we attempted and a quick find once we reached GZ, a FTF as well! Made our way back along the track on a beautiful summer afternoon on a mission to find our next cache. TFTC and the puzzle
