will replace when I can

Cache has been destroyed/muggled and needs replacement.

Found it... kinda. Cache has been muggled.

Searched for this one for a while but could find nothing.

TFTC groovydoo on way to QLD

I found this Cache to be a well placed one, I found the location easily, but when it came to producing the Cache that was much more difficult, it did present a challenge but I decided not to let it defeat me, I soldiered on and finally produced the Cache. TFTC.

TFTC! Last second cache of Dorrigo.

I was back in towne today and after a DNF some 3 years ago, determined to find this cache this time around
With no photos to paw or any memories of the park, I found the cache this time around, just from reading the clues [:o]

TFTC .... at last !! [^]

Find #2038...

A nice day to be out & about... Nice spot for a cache...

Thanks groovydoo for bringing me here...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Signed Log

*Log Condition ~ Fine...

Found with 'vaggfam' & 'Nudge74' yesterday, but just created my own account today. 'Nudge74' found while 'vaggfam' and I were looking for it in a different location (and after losing a thong in the pond)

Found on a day out with 'Nudge74'. 'Nudge74' found this one as he attacked it from a different direction to the rest of us. We managed to get 2 of the kids feet wet and temporarily lose a thing as the kids unsuccessfully attempted to get across stepping stones over a stream.

Found with Vaggfam Geokids and all.

very cool

Another find after nice little walk. Found with Scoutrocks and Kaitlyn2k and ErinILY. TFTC

No10 on our way to Ebor for the day at 10:00. We've found 10 caches in 2 hours. TFTC

found it with muggle family

Really nice little park to wander through

Found during a lunch stop on our way over to the coast. We would highly recommend Juan's cafe in the main street. Very yummy pies!
The spot was very overgrown and took some persistence to find the cache.

without a pic this didnt help but the clue seemed easy enough. |It was a bit damp today which didnt endear itself to looking too closely. Didnt have any luck unfortunately

So difficult Cookie had to phone the CO for assistance.
Think we had looked there, but not hard enough it seems.

(Late logging of Find - 31/1/13) Found with MAP's.
Nice to be able to share the driving rather than having to pedal.
Only found it because Cookie had had some help from Groovy, and then helped us.
TFTC Groovy Doo

Had stopped earlier, but the search had been cut short by a local walking her dogs through the pond !!!
Been off to grab a few of the other Dorrigo caches, and had another go, but without having access to the photo was looking where the GPSr showed where GZ was.
PAF - the CO, and he was available to come down and show me where I had walked on at one stage actually covered the cache. Thanks for the assistance Groovydoo.
Brought through for mileage: Through: 3Bros, Lighthouses, IconicBridges, B2B, Baa, Neigh Neddy and Oink, Signal 2006, and 100 Finds achievements coins, Red Racing Ninja #4 TB, and trackable shirt.

Lovely little park. Plenty of flowers bringing thought of spring. Parked on the southern side and got the cache and then realised there is a car park on the northern side. Found Der Kreuzfahrer - the crusader travel bug inside and grabbed it.

Found at 10.45

Nice find.

Took banana
Left TB Norway.

TFTC

Easiest find yet! Thanks for the cache!!

Cool place. Tftc

Took a day trip up to Dorrigo for a look around and to look for a few geocaches. Couldn't find the first 3 I looked for but then got onto a roll. Nice park. TFTC

Found with Earthly65..very easy as area so trampled we were led straight to cache..left it not so obvious..park pretty this time of year..TFTC Groovydoo

Park was colourful with the leaves turning and falling..a nice little walk..gz was easily located as very trampled, so a quick find..fluffed the grass up a bit to make it less obvious and keep it safe..TFTC groovydoo.

Find:370

TFTC Great Cache

Found it No. 5004 ... good clue ... TNLN ... TFTC groovydoo

Took a bit of looking after rain. Finally located cache.SL TNLN TFTC

Out with geo family so thought this would be a good one to grab, after searching for a while and worrying that it may have been swallowed by the lawnmower we resorted to the clue and thanks to a little lizard for giving us a heads up .

Nice Cache, But unfortunatley one step too many wet for the rest of the day

Took some time to find this as it was very over grown at GZ.
TFTC

Quite wet in the park today, even had a little river running through it. Surprised ourselves and found the cache.

2nd cache while coming into town. Nice big park, found after having a look at the picture. It seems the lizards have their hidyhole there. TFTC groovydoo

Found at 13.20 pm. Two lizard where sleeping on the cache.
Team Art Journey The Netherlands
Out: TB

Found it after a while,thanks

bit hard to find. i took everyone in a great big circle. i need to trust the gps and not doubt it. Clever hiding spot, TFTC.

All happy and dry, nearly lost the lad in the pond though.

Check on cache today while taking the dog for a walk. All is good,

Bit overgrown and did not have a geo stick.

Probably there but did not find it!

Nice park though.

Another lovely park. Good hide. Left a dove charm, TN, thanks groovydoo.

A walk in the park! Quick find. TFTC

Pulled up a couple of hundred metres away and when we got to GZ spoted it straight away. A bit wet today in the park. TFTC groovydoo

Reperio at 1340. Stopped by here on the way out of Dorrigo today, and ended up parking about 100m from GZ and enjoyed the walk through the park. Once at GZ, the coords were bang on, and as a result, I soon spotted a likely place for a cache, and had it in hand almost immediately.

Lovely spot.

Gratias groovydoo.

Nice and interesting park although a bit wet underfoot. Cache was surprisingly dry. Left a banana. TFTC.

Found while out and about in town. Nice park. tftc

No grass cutting here today. Took a little while the the rest of the Browngang was waiting in the car.TFTC

An overcast day in Dorrigo and quite squelchy near the cache site. Found under cut grass. Took the pewter Tassie Devil and left a 'medal'. Nice town

Found this one two.. twice..

Found 3.35pm We ended up approaching this one from a back street but soon found we were in the right area when we saw the "Woodsman" statue. Something slithered in the grass as we went to retrieve the cache - pretty sure it was just a lizard! A very calm and peaceful spot until we spotted 3 black cockatoos who were screeching at us to move on. TFTC

Checked on cache yesterday while taking dog for walk

Well. We did have an adventure at this cache. What a lovely pond it is here. Very pretty with lots of plants and birds - and water. The heavens have been embellishing the quantity of water I think. We found the cache location and had a funny experience when geohubby was moving the camo. He moved it the wrong way and it fell into the pond. LOL!! Oh, NO!! He didn't think we'd get it out so went looking for a replacement. Meantime I thought I'd have a go. It nearly worked quite a few times until finally I was stuck being pulled into the pond by the weight and not wanting to let go. Geohubby assisted with his muscle power and between us we retrieved the camo and replaced it. Phew!! I think a few muggles have found this cache. Some kids signed the log and said that it said to please not remove it so they didn't. Good on them! They said they'd placed a few things into the cache in exchange for a couple of things they took out. They've left some bush beans. They also left a stick of gum which I removed as it seemed to be sweating. Thanks for placing this cache groovydoo!
Took: milk lever
Left: bouncy ball

Great park. Lots of lizards around especially near the pond. Tnln tftc. Cheers

What a lovely park full of trees in their spring leaves. Took NT Geocoin which doesn't seem to have been logged yet. Left St Paul's magnet. TFTC

An easy find (thanks to the hint - even though we didn't have the photo). The second on our Sydney to Cairns roadtrip.

We dropped in after seeing Dangar falls after walking arounfd the rainforest. What a beautiful place .

THere wasn't much in the cache so we left
2x Tazos
1x milk lever
1x ornament and
the Aust NT Geocoin

Cache is back where it should be in good nick. Rushing to try to beat the failing light I must have accidentally left the Blackberry on the roof of the ute... as I approached my next find not too far away (Rock and a Hard Place) I got a very sinking feeling I had lost my phone. When I got to the top of there hill and parked, there it was! Caught on the chip guard on the front of the bonnet was the blackberry! PHEW! That was incredibly lucky! How it didnt fall off I dont know.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found this cache with kaituna05 on our tour from Brisbane to Melbourne.

TFTC radio

Nice easy find on a windy day. TFTC, kaituna05

Replaced cache in the same place this afternoon.
Cache only contains a log book. Please don't put any swaps in as waiting to see if cache gets muggled again.

This cache has been found, the rock is in the water and we could see container sittting on reeds in the middle of the lake, found laminated instructions on the opposite side of lake. We didnt have anything to replace cache, sorry.

Will try and have a look on Tuesday, and replace cache.

Found this cache but it was on reeds in the middle of the pond so was unable to sign log, obviously some young muggle has decided to be smart.
It was a lovely little spot

TNLN.

Another quite location with easy access to GZ, TNLN thanks.

This was an easy find as the container was partly uncovered. On moving the camo aside it moved over the edge and took some returning to where it should have been.Maybe a smaller piece could be used!. Thanks for the cache.

Found it after a brief search - nice park - amazing number and variety of birds.

Bit wet underfoot. Again my daughter beat me to the find. TFTC

nice hide in a nice place took travelbug left button

Dropped off a travel bug today.

Distance From Old: 5.4 feet or 1.6 meters
Updated coords

Didin't manage to locate this today....

Looked like some digging had been occuring adjacent to where GPS was indicating GZ - something had been dug up/out removed from here recently....

Will keep in miond to check again when next in the vicinity..

Checked on cache on way to work and the cache is still there, but there is now a rock on top of it, and there is now some long reeds.

Nearly gave up on this one. Came the day before, looked around couldn't find it and left. The next day we decided to try again. What a super spot, knew it was there just had to feel around (so many orb spiders). Grabbed the "Globe Trotter" travel bug and bringing it to sunny warm QLD

A lovely and interesting park for a stroll
The bloke with the axe will have a hard time getting down from there !!

Alas I couldn't find me a cache today
But now I have seen the photo, I think I may have trodden on it a couple of times

Curses!!!!

Dropped off a travel bug today

No luck, no rock, no cache.
Everything was wet after the storm and I almost ended up in the lake.
Maybe next time, Pelusa

A very tricky hide in a lovely spot, thanks for showing us Groovydoo.
Found at 2.45pm. TN L:eraser SL.
TFTC! RinRis

Found at 2.40pm GAFF3. A lovely park with so many interesting trees and nooks and cranies. The sound of the water also makes the place feel alive.

We thought we were going to be in trouble searching for this cache as our GZ pointed into a no descript area covered with 1 metre high grass. So we searched all around until we had no option but to go through the first spot we came to. After a few moments the cache was found in a very tricky spot.

Thanks Groovydoo for showing us this lovely park.

nicely hiden cache
i hade a bit of truble with the long grass but got there in theend


took 0
left egg

Our trip to Dorrigo was made even more pleasant by the caches placed there by locals. We enjoyed our time in the town and the caches we found (or didn't find ).

Took the Australian Flag Geocoin. Will move it on when we get back home to Queensland in about a week.

Thanks for all the caches.

Dropped off AUSTRALIAN FLAG MIRCO GEOCOIN. I would love to travel the world. Can you help me??

Found by Kiddo, pretty town, lovely park. Took polished wood, left dice SL.

Nice park to go hunting for a cache.

I escaped work at morning tea to wander around the park on a beautiful spring day. I haven't been here for a number of years. At one stage it was one of my favourite haunts.

I managed to locate this cache using just the hint as I was without my GPS.

Thanks for bringing me here again. TNLN,SL.
