Description
Fourteen Fifty Ham Sandwich
While cruising the Northern NSW Pacific Highway or visiting Byron Bay - why not call in and check out this old red truck. It's out the front of a local trendy cafe.
The cache name lists just one of the menu items.
The truck though, is cool. They keep the weeds down on the passenger side, and the door opens. Which is just as well, as the cache is located inside the truck. There's a few lights on the ground near the truck, carefull not to trip over them as you scale the small slope down to GZ.
You're looking for a red PVC cache with a logbook, pencil and some swaps.

Great fun! We missed the turn to this on the way back from the hinterland the other day, but managed to drop in today. Great hint - thanks! Might have been a long look otherwise, and we had a train to catch! TFTC!!

The old red truck is eye catching and a perfect place for a hide. The truck is overgrown with a strong vine. I tried to move some aside to open the door and was met with some resistance. I stuck my head inside and didn't know if I would come across spiders or other creepy crawlies. Inside the truck is dry just a bit musty. I found the cache and was trying to remove quickly inbetween the traffic going to and from The Farm. Meanwhile the vine was trying to take one my earrings off. I tried to unscrew the lid to open the cache but then wedged the lid on the bumper bar to remove. Thanks MattyRx. I enjoyed the experience.
What a busy place with muggles coming and going during our brief stop here.
Not the first time we have found a cache in a broken down old truck on the side of the road.
Loved this hide though, much nicer than the Sistema thrown on the floor in the last truck cache we did.
Didn't need to go in to the farm though as we live on one. This is our escape from the Tassie winter and feeding animals in the freezing rain. Got to let the kids earn their inheritance somehow!!!
Thanks.

Out and about caching around Byron Bay with Tassie Trekkers and this was one we found. A clever hide. We had to jump the creek around the truck after all the rain. No ham sandwich today just great fish and chips at 'hunky dory' in town.

I decided to go outside and play today rather than sitting around feeling sorry for myself. So I enjoyed a drive around the coastal area. Brunswick Heads. On my way home my car alternator decided to play games. I pulled off the motorway and my car stopped working. Thankfully there was this nearby geocache and cool swag to keep me occupied whilst I waited for help. Clever little spot to hide it. Was a bit creepy at night though.

GrimRaider and I stopped in to grab this cache. The scuttling lizards made me jump when I opened the door - glad they weren't snakes. Container found but we could not get the lid off. So I took a photo of the red container which I can send to the CO as proof of find. Maybe the recent heat has expanded parts?? Thanks for the cache in this interesting setting.

On our way to family for Christmas so stopped by to here to locate the cache. Nice hide. TFTC
We could easily have driven by a crazily overcrowded Byron Bay but we couldn't pass up on some unfound caches and more chances with the Journey or Destination game, so bracing ourselves we turned in... Fortunately out here it was still reasonably quiet. GZ was a bit smelly... maybe last night's rain.. or something died in here... possibly from hunger because they couldn't afford a ham sandwich. Whatever, we only needed to grab the cache, not take it for a spin. This is a perfectly hidden cache and just as we hoped, it had a perfectly empty logbook. {FTF} at 9.57am. TFTC MattyRx

Honesty may be the best policy, but it’s important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.
