A quick find, would have liked to have more time to spend in this area, but that will have to wait for another trip.
Found with AlbyDangles on day Four of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey or Bust" tour.
Cheers, EPs.

Today with the company of Trimbletas we completed the penguin to cradle track series and and a few others. We found 25 caches along the way with only 1 that we didn’t find. We majorly underestimated how long this walk would take from the start to hardstaff creek, there was a lot of challenges along the way. Once we finally made it to hardstaff creek we had to make a decision do we try to go out via the farm at purtons flats (we knew the farmer) or do we walk back. When we got back to where the pct track went off the gravel road we thought whether to go back along the river or to follow the gravel road out to dial road, decision was made to walk the gravel road back to dial road and have someone pick us up to take us back to the car at the start. The hill up from the pct track was brutal but once we got up it it was fairly easy walking till we had to climb up to dial road. Overall was a long but enjoyable day really had a great time completing this series.
TFTC Very Happy

Found in the company of DEZ055. We couldn't have picked a better day than the first day of winter to tackle the Penguin Cradle Trail. I have been wanting to walk this trail for a long time. I have walked parts of the trail previously. This is my first attempt in walking from the Penguin end through to Hardstaff Creek. Well the legs are well and truly cooked today, but mission accomplished after walking roughly 23kms. We have completed all of the caches so far in this series.
This was an easy find TFTC Clan Cerberus

Enjoyable walk to this cache.
TFTC.
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

We were pretty much walking past this cache so it was nice to add this to today finds. I've done a few caches using this type of puzzle so solved it easily earlier this year. Thanks 2y'stassies

Hi 2y'stassies,
With rather inclement weather today I thought I'd tackle this cache close by.
The paint by numbers puzzle had me bamboozled for some time so finally found some good info via the web which enabled me to finally come up with the right numbers....quite tricky for me at least...but enjoyed learning a new type of puzzle.
Headed to a familiar area at gz but with the wet canopy the gps wasn't liking the conditions at all so the circle work began. Finally once the gps settled the right spot was found but the well cammoed container still wasn't easily seen. Reckon this one will definitely remain muggle free.
The cache and contents are still in great shape.
Many thanks for another great puzzle and cache...even though I made hard work of it...thoroughly enjoyed...cheers ST.

Found by mr sharnie's tribe flying solo. Needed a cache today to fill a gap in the calendar so set off bright and early hoping to get a quick find before an appointment. When GZ was reached there were so many options that fitted the hint but eventually narrowed it down and made the find. No other names in the logbook so will claim FTF. The puzzle for this one was interesting, hadn't done a paint by numbers before! TFTC and the puzzle
