Chose this as a milestone cache find for me. My family were dairy farmers further up this valley many years ago. Long before this dam existed, and when this property was farmed by the Cram family.Point of interest, this area was used as the location for a US children's television series several years ago. The concrete basketball court, and a timber platform appear to be all that remains. Now off to visit the old family farm. tftc
A lovely walk on a brilliantly sunny day to a beautiful location by the dam. These caches are why I geocache. Thanks for the cache.
Sneaky. Great spot. Always wondered what was out this way. Out for a drive today to get a few caches, a bit drizzly but hopefully hoping for a lovely day. TFTC
Tftc. Animinimoso and i were out and about for a friends birthday. Figured id come to the farm as i havent been here in over 10 years easily. Such a nice place to visit for a picnic
Found it. There were lots of ants and we looked through 2 stumps and saw it on the third. Off track down in the garden.
First trip down into NSW for a couple of years Thought Imight try for a few Cache's along the way
Thanks for a great cache and a quick find

This Day in Music
13 Dec 1975
Patti Smith released her debut studio album Horses. Produced by John Cale, Horses has since been viewed by critics as one of the greatest and most influential albums in the history of the American punk rock movement, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time. Horses has also been cited as a key influence on a number of acts, including Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths, R.E.M. and PJ Harvey.

What a beautiful spot. Thank you for get us here in the middle of Lock Down.
My son’s future father in law grand paren’ owner this farm and he spent a lot of time here growing up. The wife took some photos while I went for a walk to get this one.
Found the 11 year old in good condition. Tftc

What a great place for a picnic! And a cache. And a kayak, but not today. How cool would a T5 cache on the island further in be! Or an Adventure Lab adventure that made you go to the island
I love the view of Wollumbin from this 'farm'. Thanks for highlighting the place. Love it. TFTC

I lived in Murwillumbah till I married, I even went to school with some of the Cram kids but I had never been here before. I remember when it was made into a dam site. Nice stroll to the cache and a very easy find, took the TB and will visit it for awhile then drop it. Thanks for bringing us to a great spot and a favourite point from us. TFTC
Dad Rusty85 did this one today and wow was I wowed by it. The history is fantastic and my brain does not understand how they did the building work with the resources back then. TFTC
I can't believe the algae in the dam, you wouldn't want to swim there at the moment.
Second find for the location for us, but first time logging for our new friends. Dropped off a TB to finally start it journey!
Went to the right stump and copped s hand full of hoop pine needles- all good and quickly signed.
Cram’s farm is another good bird watching spot - Latham’s snipe in summer and Jacana are usually found here (though having trouble today)

This was my first geocache! I really enjoyed it.
It wasn’t the easiest because there was a lot of tree stumps around that area.

Sweet_bee and I were out for a drive and decided to drop in on this one.
I have wanted this cache for quite a while now - being an older beast. We followed the car GPSr in until it didn't know about smaller tracks. The Mighty ASX puttered in along the path. About 100m from the cache.... muggles
How could there be muggles here? WHY are there muggles here? We decided to see what we could do. I made my way down the road until the GPSr decided it wanted to veer off to the left. Suits me, GrSr! We scrambled up the bank and followed the GPSr.. well out of sight out of our muggles (thank goodness).
After a bit of searching, we came up with the beast. We signed the log and returned the cache to its home. A nice little area to visit. Thanks for showing us. TFTC zombywoof1954

A beautiful spot and nice hide. Great area for birdwatching. Thanks for the hide!
Cache needs new log book as it was found with the lid removed and the contents were wet.
Log book replaced and contents dried out. All should be good now. Thanks Biggles of Oz for letting me know.
Found this cache easily enough but it needs maintenance as the lid was off when we found it and the wet log book is unusable. None the less the location was really nice and worthwhile to visit for the day (although we only spent about an hour here).

As Biggle of Oz said, log book wet and in need of some care and attention.

Came here for a picnic lunch with the car club. Nice area. Was raining and muddy so very slippery to GZ. Found quickly. SL. TFTC
We had planned Christmas lunch here but rain kept us away for most of the day. Thankfully the sun came out and we went for a drive out to show family around. Showed a few newbies how to geocache as well.
I came across an echidna. How cool is that! Then I got to the cache location and I came across a snake. Not so cool. Luckily the snake slithered off in the other direction and I was able to sign the log.
This was a really beautiful location. I can't believe how many people were here. I will have to come back one day with a fishing rod.

Look for a tree that is a little different.
I never new this place existed. It is truly a pretty spot. Near the end of the day when we got there but the light over the dam and the view to Mt. Warning was spectacular. We will come back here.

We found da geocash and this is what a private school education looks like
Another one of this geocaching days where you end up in some simply amazing places. Mid week and showery and so only a few people kayaking. A wonderful spot for a family picnic. Thanks zombywoof1954.
Great spot. Took frog and left blue eraser. We will return with our canoe. TFTC.

Another place that I knew of but had never visited. Lovely clear day with the rocky outcrops on the hillside just jumping out of the trees. Several people were paddling around but not too close. Quick find and we were on our way, TFTC.
The first cache of the day and soon found - grew up in the Tweed Valley but have never been to the Clarrie Hall Dam. Lovely morning and the mountains looked impressive. TFTC
IolantheK, T-Tech, Brother Colin, LadySim and myself has conquered Cloud Catcher yesterday so I was great to be at this place and see the mountion doing what the mountain does best. This is a great spot and well worth the drive. Eventually the clouds lifted partially and I caught a glimpse of the mountains
After a milestone smashing adventure to see the sun rise from the summit of Mount Warning this morning, our group split up, with one heading back to Brisbane, and others heading north collecting lollies Brother Colin and I are heading south on a road trip
Only a short walk to GZ from the car, and we zeroed in on the cache very quickly. Loved the title for this one. TFTC, zombywoof1954.

About a month or so ago IolantheK invited me to come on an adventure for her 4000th find to do Cloud Catcher. [^]
I managed to get my numbers aligned to make it my 6000th.
With that completed very early this morning IolantheK and myself headed south to find a few more caches for the day. The others in the group headed north to look for a few lollies.
We parked the car and walked the last 100 or so metres. A quick find once at GZ.
Thanks for the cache.

Spent the day out at this gorgeous place with the Geo family for Mother's day, so this provided us a terrific family walk after lunch. Great cache, an easy find but not too easy, so well done to the Cache provider! We love finding Geo's with kid-friendly swaps, so the GeoKids were all excited about this one. We logged, swapped, re-hid & continued our walk TFTC!
TFTC left moustache took nothing a BBQ with friends and we took the kids to find this one thanks
Out and about NSW with our friendly NOOBs, the Creeds. Lovely spot, thanks for sending us here. No muggles here.

What a day, the boy wanted to go to crams farm Kayaking for his 20th birthday. No problems we loaded up the Kayaks and headed to the coast for the weekend. The boy isn't really into caching so we were allowed 1 cache for each day of our visit.
Arriving at Crams Farm around 9.30am sunday we were confronted with a sign that said "Little Otter Family Park" ??? I though I had missed the turn but no I did actually spy a Crams Farm sign too. Driving through the gates we we confronted with a myriad of trucks near the toilets, huh...... what the..... I drove on and parked near the boat ramp. Not many people around but we could see a few were out on the dam fishing. Old mate was rowing out as well. But across from the boat ramp we saw a full on American summer camp. what the? again.... red danger tape was every where too.... Bliss Baby and I looked at it and thought maybe we should have researched this trip a bit better but oh well. we will be right I hope. She told me the cache was over the there were those trucks are..............not good. will we be able to head that way? A security guard appeared and she went over and had a chat while Girly and I unloaded the kayaks, the boy has missed the turn and was heading the wrong way so we would be having a bit of a wait it seemed. BB came back and said "I have good and bad news" It seemed that a guy had gone kayaking on thursday and hadn't been found but they had found his kayak. Amazingly no one was out looking for him today which stunned us and security as well.
The boy and his mate arrived and we got all the kayaks into the water and headed off. Crams Farm is an amazing place as we headed off towards the dam wall. after a few hours on the water exploring we arrived back at the boat ramp. The rain was starting as we loaded the kayaks and headed for a shelter. It was only light so a wood BBQ was fired up and the boy attended it as we headed off to get the cache and rescue the TB.
I see that not many people visit this area but they should it is such a great spot. The cache was easily found , We were sure security was watching us but they didn't show up , we had promised not to touch any of the set. `Muggles and visited the cache on 27th Dec last year but had done the right thing and made some swaps SL and returned to its hiding place.
Swap made ,Ninja rescued and log signed. Favourite point awarded we headed back for our BBQ late lunch.
thanks for the cache zombywoof1954. seems that they might be filming for up to 7 years on the series but I'm not sure that the locals will be happy about that.

Checking out the area on my day off and made it to this cache. I parked a couple of hundred meters away and had a very pleasant wander along the edge of the lake.
It certainly is a great little area out here so thanks for bringing me out this way..... I never would have ended up here if it were not for caching.
Thanks for the cache zoombywoof1954.
While signing the log one of those pesky cache dwelling frogs hopped on in.

This area where this cache is would have to be one of the best kept secrets of the Tweed Valley, Easy find, such a shame that more caters don't visit it. TFTC
Lovely place to find a cache in spent a hot summer day resting in the shade admiring my relatives doing their spring rituals. Easy find. TFTC
Second attempt. Such a wonderful spot to have a picnic and enjoy the surroundings.
Found it no problems at all in conjunction with Bessie's-Mob.
Took TB and will be moving it on soon.

What a magnificent park area. This will be a definite revisit for family day out. Were heading towards GZ with Brighteyes and Muggle rels, 3.5 yr old using the gps again. Geokid 2 walked ahead and found Cache just by using the clues. Congrats to her. Just goes to show they start to look for signs of things that don't belong, and open their eyes to what is going on around them. Which are some of the benefits of geocaching, to expand on people's education, perceptions and abilities.
We expected the park to be "Crammed full of people" on Easter Saturday but were pleasantly surprised to find we had the place almost to ourselves. What a great place for a picnic and a bit of French Cricket. Found the cache easily and in great condition. TFTC Dropped in TB,
