Apparently run over by council mower.

Went looking with geopartner who has previously found cache definitely not here needs replacing

No luck

Couldn't find it today. There didn't seem to be too many places to hide a small cache. I did find the remains of a pen in the recently cut grass.

I hope it's still there. My thanks to nocomerino for placing it.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a way to explore the "land down under".

Looked for this one in the pouring rain. Didn't give up on it until we were good and wet but unfortuately we still came up empty handed.

Thanks anyways nocomerino

Love a cache of geographical significance .

Chilly winds and glorious sunny day here at this high point of the trip to Tamworth. Cache in excellent condition, TNLN, SL and on my merry way once again. TFTC, nocomerino

Quite easy to find, great spot. TNLN, thanks nocomerino!

Interesting place with great views. Always like the information with the cache. TFTC

Found with Mosaikmum. Quick stop on out way to Sydney. TFTC

Great location! TNLN Thanks fro the cache!

After a very cool night camped at Uralla (-3) we finished all the caches there and started heading south again picking up as many caches as we could.
We arriver here to be rewarded with some very nice views but the wind was still freezing so we got to the job at hand. The very long grass today made our hunt a bit harder but it was only a few minutes before we were signing the log and then heading back to the warm car.
Thanks nocomerino.

what a nice part of the world. TFTC

On a drive home after a really long weekend caching, great find, havent been through here before.

Found on way to Walcha for grand final! Nice quick one! TFTC!

Quite windy here today. Cache is in good condition. Tnlnsl. Tftc

Found at 10:44 AM GAFF1. Looking at the elevation function on our GPSr it said 1,179 - just 27 metres out from what the sign said. Couldn't see the rivers here though.
Thanks nocomerino

Tftc.
Found on my way to Tamworth.

Cache Needs a good clean! Thanks.

Conveniently located for a stretch and walk about. Easy find. TFTC

Found it!
Been hanging out for this one as there hasn't been one in the last 100 km!
Quick find and log.
TFTC

was sure i saw the east and west flowing rivers pouring off each side of the range today in the rain.
Thanks Acko and She who must be Obeyed.

TFTC!

TFTC, Found with the help of. Geo Zoe & Ryan. NIce Cache

Great views. Container a little wet inside, put it in a ziplock for extra protection.

I parked on the other side of the road and saw the sign, and thought I must be on that! Should have taken the GPSr out of the car - it would have been a quicker search.
Great spot on the road.
Thanks, Robmc.

On our way to Tamworth Country Music Festival & decided to do a cache.
This is our first one over the ranges or top of the ranges.
A great break the grass is getting very long had to be on alook out for snakes.

Found it

The number of Times I have driven past this cache and not knowing it was here !

TNLN

TFTC

Found on the way to visit my sister for Christmas.
Nice hide.
The container was quite full of water when I uncovered it, but as everything in it was in press-seal bags all was OK. After draining the water out and sitting the container on a post for 10 minutes to dry out, I replaced everything and put it back.
TNLN TFTC

Great location for a cache, thank you !

Thanks for bringing us to the top of the Great Divide. I can smell cattle poo and the sea breeze!!! Top spot.

Thanks for the hide.

It was 7c with light rain so quickly found the cache and signed the log in the warm car. Still good to take a short break. Thanks.

Hmm the gps has changed from metric to imperial for some reason, I'm wondering why. How many K's in a mile, how many meters in a yard? bugger!! Just sailed straight past gz!! down the hill I go, u turn then back up, hope its worth it. Finally at gz and a nice easy find it was, nice sized cache full of cool swaps for the geokiddy. Thanks for the cache nocomerino

Love a great divide!

Found while the kids slept...time for driver change so that I can drive the wyndy road to Port Macquarie. Removed broken bottle which was lose to cache location

As I drove westward from Walcha toward this cache, any number of Steven Seagal Movies came to mind....
Which one was the cache going to be based on ?
Arriving at GZ I noticed a sign.
Hmmm!!
Obviously a watershed moment in his 'acting' career.
So I'll go with "Executive Decision"
My favourite Steven Seagal movie, because his character gets killed off in the first 30 minutes of the movie and we are spared anymore of his acting talents

TFTC.

PS: I think the lack of oxygen at this altitude may have affected my thinking [:o)]

Heading over to Tamworth to catch up with mates. didn't have time for a multi in Walcha but was 'cruising along nicely' and found this one on the iphone then the garmin (and geohusband) did the rest!!

Nice spot, great hide, low light, high wind!! lol

Found it!
Thanks for this cache, very well hidden.
Good to tell people about the local landmarks.
TNLN SL

Travelled the Hwy lots if times and amazed at how many times i have driven right by that spot.TFTC

Interesting location - not what we thought when we saw the Great Dividing Range sign. Thanks for the cache.

NO FOOD IN CACHES - how hard is that? I am annoyed with whoever was so disrespectful to the owner of this cache. We found a sticky, gooy mess inside - the remains of some lollies. We washed and dried the cache, but we did not have a replacement log, so the edges of that are still sticky. We put it in a fresh bag. It was a great place for a cache and we enjoyed finding it. Thanks to the owner.

Our first for the day and others have noted cache was a little damp. Another one for our higher altitude caches found I think, but not our highest.

An easy find.
Would have loved to had a nano at sign close by to look for.
Cache was wet so dried as best we could.
This was our fisrt cache find for the day and it is our 39th wedding anniversary today.
A great day to cache.
TFTC

Found at 11.20am
We were heading for the coast to get out of the constant rain,howling wind and a temp of 8°C
A brief stop in pouring rain.
Cache was damp - (not surprising!!)

Thanks

Nice and easy - a good thing at this altitude in winter We left a few beado characters and took the mini playing cards.

Nice n easy driveby caching. Took nothing ; left a pack of playing cards (mini size). Beautiful sunny day - glorious! TFTC Nocomerino!

Geoson got his hat trick for the day whilst on our way to South West Rocks. Easy find. GPS spot on. It was expected as we are quite high up. No specticles on the sign though. TNLNSL
Cheers Buggerme

A lovely location atop the Divide, and the weather was brilliantly sunny. My GPS delivered me to within 1 m of the site and it was easy to find. By the way, we found a pair of spectacles attached to the Great Dividng Range sign. Are they yours?

Third and last cache this afternoon. I have a had a rule of 'No seafood west of the divide' for many years but of late I have had far better (and fresher) feeds of fish in Parkes or Dubbo than whats on offer in Avalon or Palm Beach. If this keeps up a complete reversal of the rule may be in order. So off to Walcha I go for a T-bone.

Signed the log book which was slightly damp. Thanks again nocomerino.

I really enjoy caches with altitude. At 1152m this one is pretty good. Tftc

Found this one easily, a wonderful area and great to see more caches in the region!! Exchanged toys. TFTC

A nice easy drive by but there were some nice views towards the coast from the other side of the road.

TFTC and the 3rd *FTF* of the trip home.
