COM'N'AVEALOOK Mayers Flat, New South Wales, Australia
By LATANZI on 26-Apr-09. Waypoint GC1QMAC

Parked up and headed to the given coords. GPSr wanted me under the bridge but previous ruled that out. Resorted to just searching the surrounding area but no joy.

Cache is gone, it had a good run. I won't replace as I'm sure the same muggles will get bored and take again.
The Flava may have noticed a bit of string tied to a stick. It used to be tied to a 15litre cache that sat on top of the pipes under the bridge

Not Found no cache there[Time to Find: 33 min]

Took us a while as GPS kept leading us to different spots! Plus area looks like it's been graded recently... But cache was still in place. Took water drop, left parking ticket (used) & McDonalds toy. Signed log. TFTC

Good find took snake dropped of some widget

GPS wanted Team Queen Victoria to look under the bridge, not a good idea, steep eroded bank and no Cache! Stoped and had a think, a new look produced this very large Cache. Did a little bit of swapping and returned Cache. Thanks Latanzi.

Early this morning I 'ADALOOK
I have traveled this twisty bit of road many times over the years, but not since the new highway has been opened
How strange to sit by the side of the road with absolutely no traffic passing by.
Just a peaceful location to search for a cache [^]

Not much searching was actually required and I soon had it in paw.
I found a GCA moveable cache sitting on top too [:o]
So I have moved it [:o)]
I also grabbed the Smurf clutching a Big bottle of Chanpagne (aka Travel Bug Dog Tag)

TFTC.

Our last day of a 33 day holiday to Qld & return – found in the early morning & a very nice quiet location – not like the rest stops – left TB that has already been grabbed - TFTC / TFTH / SL

A nice large cache. The little truck piped me to the right place. TFTC latanzi

Love this old road. Tftc.

Found on way home from visiting friends .

Nice spot, love the history.

SL TNLN TFTC

Nice quiet place.

Great to use the old road again, been yrs since I've travelled on it. Swapped some toys for the geokids and grabbed the travel bug.

On my way to Coffs Harbour with the family. Grabbed TB.

Cache is bigger than a cement truck...tftc

Biggest cache so far TFTC

Great cache! Have grabbed the travel bug and left another bug (E11 Bound). Made a few trades for the geokids to buy their silence for the next leg of our journey

TFTC

Another good cache located while on holiday in the area.

Good big container
Signed log here then on to the next one!

Lovely big and interesting cache ... many thanks
Took a smiley face magnet and left a "water drop"
Signed log.

Huge cache, nice area. TFTC.

Heading south and picking up a few caches along the highway as we go. TFTC

Heading north to attend pprass's Mid North Coast camping event we were grabbing a few of the local caches along the way. It's not that often that you see a large these days so when we do we always try to make an effort to find them. We came into this one the wrong way but after crossing a little bit of eroding soil the cache was soon in hand and our names added to the log. We then made a mental note to try and remember to wear gaiters when walking through the grasses around here.
Thanks again Latzani for the cache.

(;/))

grabed this one on a day out caching around Taree and surrounds with Team Senz TFTC

Today we headed north with TeamTonka for some caching for the day.

As we approached GZ, thinking we knew where it was. we realised we were on the wrong level. Once at GZ we were distracted by the smallest bat sleeping under the bridge. Once we finished being fascinated by the little thing we continued to find the large cache. Too bad we dont do GCA otherwise we would of taken the GC moveable!

Thanks latanzi

TFT LARGE C! Loved it, left Miss Piggy TB TFTC

From Sydney to Newcastle, to Central Coast, to Watagan NP, to Tapee, to Coffs Habour, to Ballina allong the Gold Coast up to Brisbane and return to Sydney we found many nicely hidden containers.
We would like to thank everyone for showing us such nice locations and of course, the numerous caches.

Thanks and best greetings from Germany
Team sissifalke

While most of us had been past the end of the road MANY times, this part is rarely visited now.
On our way down south for a few more caches.
LOVELY sized cache, but TNLN
TFTC latanzi

0530 Start of another day!
Good coordinates, but too many 'farmers friends'.
Cache safe, dry and intact
Left a blue pen, took the one there that wasn't working - initially, but got it going later. Also left Tigger, as he'd been in the backpack too long!
TFTC latanzi

Good one hide, tftf ...

The Booo's are heading on a holiday up north and what's a family holiday without a spot of caching

Found by geo hubby while I was busy taking pics thanks

The Booo's head north for a family holiday and stopped to grab a few caches on our way.

Parked near to GZ and GPSr had me jumping back and forth across the road and it soon became obvious where I had to go. Once there we made a pretty quick find. Signed the log book, stamped my TB stamp and continued north.

Traveling up to the north coast for a Booo holiday ...
TFTC

had to watch the hornets nests but quickly found it

A magnificent sized cache that took a while to find. Did anyone see all the hornet nests along .... the side of the ......? TFTC

On the hottest day ever recorded found this one while on holidays. Took TB Nova Scotia

Found on our way home, this completes my caching for everyday in December 2012. Pickup TB and left Caves House Spoon.

TFTC,
Stayed in the area overnight and made an early discovery before going home.
What a great cache, not many places to hide something this big.
Visited a group of trackables on day 307 of my personal challenge as I attempt to complete 366 continuous caching days including the 29th February (something you can only do every 4th year).
Took a Carabina TB and left a Nova Scotian TB as a swap.

Dropping off a couple of TBs as am on holidays for a few weeks and won't be caching

We hadnt had a rest stop for quite a while so this seemed like the ideal location on our way up north. After coming to GZ we had a very good look with no luck for about 15 minutes. We read sme logs about scrambling down so we did but no luck. Then as I was about to give up I spotted it - no scrambling down needed. Clever concealment for a fairly big hide. TFTC and a great place to stop

It's a definitely the biggest cache us newbies have seen! There's a cool huntsman standing guard on the cache so keep your eyes open! TFTC I also picked up the TB. Found with GailOA

Wow good hiding for an enormous cache. 1 enormous spider hiding with it too

Easy fine, no nasties or muggles today. TFTC

Found on the way up to Port Macquarie for a visit. and in between showers. An easy find once I got over the cache blindness.

nice quiet stop for a leg stretch. lovely tall gum trees. amusing hide for the kids. how lucky are we to live in Australia and experience so much space and beauty. thanks latanzi.

A nice detour off the highway on the way to Port Macquarie.
An easy big find.
Took nothing, left Chinese chequers and novelty glasses.
SL TFTC

Trip down memory lane, from family holidays to Port Mac. I remember the different colour sections of road & all the curves. TFTC. Left travel bug. (Finally a cache big enough) SL.

Definitely the largest cache we have found so far! TFTC

#1106

It certainly is nice to find a big one like this. After a slight scramble down, bikerbuddy gave this spot a quick look but didn't look in the right direction.

I scrambled down to join him & spotted it over his shoulder.

Thanks

Found on way north for camping and caching, Bikerbuddy got to it first, nice big cache. TFTC.

We were on our way north to the Mid North Coast Event, so this was done as part of that trip. We overshot the mark a little to get a safe parking spot and walked back along the armco barrier. I didn't go quite far enough under, so it was Toriaz who spotted it. Lucky the area isn't too densely populated, since this is an easy cache to spot if you're in the right place. Thanks

Always great to find a nice big cache......

Found this one with fitzy_1965 as we were making our way to Taree to have a go at the Mid North Coast Power Trail. A neat little drive just off the highway and so quiet. Once parked, we headed towards GZ, worked out where to go and soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks latanzi, a nice little detour for a cache.

5031 + 572 = 5603. Found on the way up to Taree today.

Sol de Lune and I are heading up to Taree to do the Mid North Coast Wander. We managed to grab a couple of caches on the drive up. This was the fourth. A nice little detour to find a rare Large cache! Great area - quickly found, logged and returned. Thanks latanzi !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

was slippery as a second hand car dealer

Found it!

Once you get there and take in the surrounding it was an easy find.

Was amazed at the number of vehicles going by.

Found on our way to Port MacQuarie. TFTC Cheers

Really enjoyed the drive along the whole Wootton Way from Bulahdelah - lovely bush and scenery.

The near by winery is a very popular spot by the amount of cars that went by while I was here.

I havn't been down this road since the new road was opened so I t was a nice little detour would have liked to do the whole road but time was against me today. Maybe next time TFTC

Left some TB's that need to move along a little.

Eventually found it. Tftc

This is the biggest cache i have seen, left a 50cent coin, TFTC

Nice easy find. I can't be leave this road was the old highway.

There were no Trackables in the cache. You many need to mark them as missing

Morpeth return to Port Macquarie
This is certainly an old piece of highway even though we were comming from the south glad we accessed this from the northern end. A lovely big cache found in a good out of the way place.
TFTC

It is almost spooky driving on this old road, it looks deserted and forgotten.

Another quick find today. Great size container. TFTC

Found with "The Neighbs". Quick find. Lovely big container! TFTC Latanzi

Found on our way home from the Oz Mega Event. How did I miss this one before?? its huge. It only took 1 minute to find today but another 10 to get those nasty farmers freinds out of my cloths. Thanks for the cache latanzi

Located 4:32 PM. TFTC TNLN. Note no TBs or coins were there. The handle was off it I replaced it but it looks like there are two handle parts one was broken. The idea being I suppose to stop if being washed away in flood. Nice little spot and we stopped by the winery.

nother one or the day TFTC

Nice little detour on the way to north whilst on our honeymoon. Second find for the year. TFTC!!

Nice little detour off the highway even though the chick wanted us to take the long way around to the cache.....hard to get good help these days! TFTC

Turned off the highway and made our way to this quiet little spot. Spent a while on both sides of the road before narrowing down the location. I think the GPSr was still in 100kph mode and was having trouble with walking speed . It does that now and then. All good with the cache. Everything is dry. TN/LN/SL

Heading up to see the Grandparents in Taree this was my only stop for a cache along the way as I had my muggle Mother in the car A nice big box found quickly in a good out-of-the-way spot off the freeway. I remember as a younger fella travelling up this old road before the motorway!

Cheers!

Rated: for Overall Experience

No trackables inside. nice spot. Cache big enough to hide a child! TFTC

After a nice drive down past buladelah, on the way back I decided to do some of your geocaches. Came by, walked where i thought the geocache would be, but was false, so after about 10 minutes I decided to follow my GPS, and found shortly. Nice hide, and thankyou

Scary as all hell at night

Found this a few months ago but it would appear I forgot to log it. Drove out of here after doing a quote in Firefly. We were heading north today and went to call in and realised my mistake so didn't even pull off the highway to check the date. Cheers from Browngang.

No bugs. I think bridge could use an assessment some erosion.

we were heading to Forster for a tiny frolick of finding, when this cache beckoned...so went and adalook.[:o)]

Geohusband is getting a rather (annoying) habit of finding these things quite quickly. no sooner had the rest of the 'lodge' got to GZ did we hear 'found it'.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Spent about an hour searching. Found something resembling a man made hole that might have accommodated a large cache, but it was empty. GPS proved more of a nuisance than an asset. Also looked in areas that might have well exceeded the difficulty and terrain ratings. Very disappointing and discouraging.

Drove by to check status. This one has not been affected by recent rains and is still in place

I want and had a look but didn't find it. I did find lots of lantana and farmers firends though. After searching around for a while I had to give up. There has been alot of water down this river recently so perhaps the cache has been washed away.

Found with Bedmaker.
Lovely creek and a nice big cache container.
Beware of what looked like wasps nests on the side of the bridge.
TFTC

Found with TassieGirl on our way home while on holidays.
We took a slight detour off the highway to ave a look for this.
Nice little creek and quiet spot.
TFTC.

Wow! - this must be the biggest cache container ever! Nice spot, though. No nasties. TFTC

Trying a highway series on our trip back down south but could not fond this 'huge' cache - grand daughter most dissappointed, she was ready for some swaps after a few small caches

A nice find to finish up the day.

Left Blue XJ6 Jag matchbox car, took policeman, SL.

TFTC latanzi

We looked for ages without prevail. Would have been great, right near my grandparents. We even looked under the bridge, unless our phone map was wrong

Good parking, easy find, huge cache. Left a fish whistle, took a sharpie. The elderly who were camping nearby think we are strange. TFTC

A slight detour on our trip North. Nice to find a good sized cache!

Cheers

It was refreshing to find a decent sized cache with Hoojar on a long road trip up north.
Cheers.

Nice and easy find on the way to brissie, took coin. Mosquitos were pretty fierce TFTC

Stopped on my way to Port to watch the Jets play. The GPS took me tothe wrong side of the road at first but I soon had the cache in hand. Nice big cache.

Thanks.

Left TB

Found without difficulty with BikiGanoo.
Took TB sheep.
TN, left tennis ball, SL TFTC

This is one we have been meaning to grab for a while.
Retrieved today whilst travelling to Sydney for Geosons 12th Birthday.
A great little diversion- found without any trouble.
Dropped in a trackable whilst here.
Thanks again Latanzi for another great cache.

Found this cache in the dark
