Banks of Casino Casino West, New South Wales, Australia

It seems that muggles have found this hiding spot so we will archive this cache. Do have plans for another close by. Thanks to everyone that found this cache.

attempted find but no luck as cache was scattered.

Arrived at gz to find contents scattered on ground with no sign of cach container put cards in an orange card holder and put at location where they were found this cach needs some maintenance.

As we knew we were passing through it seemed worth a stop. However on getting near the GZ there were so many muggles that we just turned and left.

What a nice find! The geolitties loved the park, we had a great picnic, and the cache was easy, but do beware the broken glass, as my littlies like the adventure, and geobub was sliding down the bank, til I realised the glass was there. Swapped lots.

Found cache full of dirt..took a while to clean it up but all ok now...TFTC Fergclan

I thought this one was going to take some time, there seemed to be heaps of potential hiding spots down on this slippery slope down to the river. But bikerbuddy looked at the right spot & quickly had the cache found.

Thanks .

The banks of Casino were a little slippery, but we managed to get there without mishap. The cache was an easy find. It's ironic that attempts to add camouflage can do that. Thanks

After a frustrating time we eventually found this cache.
A couple of muggles were relaxing in the park.

Arrived to find contents of cache scattered all over ground and ammo box missing. We replaced the ammo box with a small sistema container and new log book and put where the coords sent us to.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

found this one easily.

Dropped off tb

The park today was certainly very busy, and we just couldn't get close enough to GZ with all of the muggles around

We will be back!

On arrival in the area I saw lots and lots of huge, massive, pick you up and drag you off into the jungle dinasores and I think they all knew where I was going as everyone ran off in the general direction of where I had to be, lying in wait for me to enter their domain, I know I will let Renroc lead the way, wont be a problem, then I learn, Renroc has found and logged this one and will not be coming after it, so fighting back the tears, trying not to show my fear, because animals can sense fear, off I went into the unknown, not knowing what fate lay before me and as I drew near to GZ my GPSr lost signal and that left me too, how will I find my way out with no GPSr I could be here for weeks and no one will ever find me, the Renroc shouts in, "If it wasn't for the white stripe on your shirt you would blend right in, I was saved, a way out. I had to revert to my geocachers sixth sense and find the cache the old fashoned way, before GPS recievers were invented and find it I did. Huge it was, filled with all sorts. I signed the log and legged it before the dragons got me.
Thank you Fergclan for yet another good cache. SL TNLN

TFTC Well guarded by large lizards. Interesting assortment of goodies. TNLN

A great river, with slippery banks shame about the rubbish. TFTC

I left my geo-wife at the picnic table preparing morning tea as I headed for the cache. Down the bank I went and after the rain this week it was slippery and sure enough I ended up on my back side with mud up my arm. Not a good start for the day after hurting my knee at the last one and now covered in mud. It did bring a laugh to my geo-wife before checking that I was OK, thanks.

Easy find once the correct path was located
Tnlnsl including some very large goannas

GZ had us down near the water but we thought it couldn't be here so headed back up. Mrs Herbz suddenly spotted a likely hiding place and sure enough there it was. Our GPSr was about 12m off. Gotta love those big ones! TFTC.

Thanks Fergclan for a great big cache in a well hidden location. We parked nearby and exchanged hello's with a friendly women resting in the shelter with a beverage or two and a companion not far away. There appeared to be a couple of attempts at getting to GZ through the long grass at the top but geohubby found the easier way a bit towards the bridge. Found the cache nicely hidden and were surprized at it's size and the large number of swag items. We have so enjoyed our drive through the countryside today, and through Casino, on our way to Coffs from the Gold Coast. The countryside is looking it's best in glorious green accompanied by the beautiful Jacarandas in their amazing blue floral jackets.
Took: toy animal
Left: two bangles
Visited: some trackables destined for distance places

Saw where the garmin wanted us to go but not sure we wanted to do it. Found a way and were rewarded with a great big cache full of stuff. We also know what it's like to be a mozzie sandwich. Took a japanese clasp? left a stubbie holder (so if "If"s drunks stumble across it they'll at least find something usable.

Wow what a huge cache and full of really cool goodies. Took nothing, left a geocaching sticker and a whackem mole game!

After having a bite to eat for lunch with MattyRX and the goekids we decide to head down the bank and check out this cache. Didn't take long before cache was in hand, gotta love a big cache! So may goodies. Took bottle opener, left earrings.

Took some time to find this one. We had to deal with the remains of the flood along the river a the police wondering what we were doing at might. Great cache. Took CDeft peace sigh. TFTC.

after male geo cacher and friend could not find it , female geo cacher had a girl look hey presto here it is

Was driving past and noticed that there were no muggles in the park, decided to go for a quick grab, geodad found whilst geomum and son played, SL TNLN TFTC

Getting to GZ on this one looked like it might be fun - but then I found a likely area down. Sure enough I found the handsome prize hidden away. It was in good condition. I re-hid the cache well and moved along. TFTC Fergclan

Another one bites the dust. Chickcj82 and i found it.

3rd fine for the day for both lcbails and myself
TFTC

Needs to be moved. We covered it well with bits of wood etc but it is a risk of being muggled where it is.

Nice easy find late in the day. TNLN TFTC

Heh heh !!
Finally a chance to break the bank
I arrived nice and early (even before the lonesome drunk waiting for the local to open) and looked around the edges of the park for a way to GZ.
Sometimes I wonder how I ever find a geocache when in places like this it takes me 10 minutes to work out how to get to GZ
Turns out the way in was obvious ( a theme that would be repeated at another Casino cache ).
Down there in the gloom the cache was a quick find.
How does it go unfound by muggles I wondered
The fabulous camo and the gloom obviously work well together [^]
I rehid the cache with a bit more camo scratched up from around the area and satisfied that the additional camo looked natural wandered back up into the light
Just in time too !!
The lonesome drunk turned up with 30 minutes to opening time [:o]

(Geocaching reveals more than just interesting places, it provides an insight into social problems afflicting our townes too !! Who'd a thought it ?)

Dropped off TB

A nice easy cache in a slippery area. Once I found it I realised I could leave my TB here so I headed back to the car and retraced my steps. Dropped in TB and a geocaching CD I picked up somewhere else. Unfortunately I have logged the TB (Rolleston Rover) in the wrong cache(The Decoy Tree), so am trying to correct this but if you are trying to log it and it doesn't show up in this cache, please accept my apologies. I do not have the number with me. TFTC.

Found the cache easily as it was exposed.

I was surprised to see such a large cache here.

It is hard to get enough cover for the cache to hide it properly.

TNLN. TFTC.

Took keyring for marble.
Signed Log.

Found during an MTB cache asault on Casino. There were a couple of muggles drinking in the picnic shelter when I arrived but they fortunately move along and I wandered down for the find. Thanks Fergclan.

Found in place and full of goodies but no trackable to be seen T Lamb L Tuff tool TFTC

Still quite securely in place after floods. Mossies were fierce but we survived them to take Black Cat happy cacher geocoin.

Flood going down, so this cache is back in action.

Temporarily disabling this cache until the flood levels go down.

Mosquitoes were waiting in ambush, easy find as it wasn't disguised by anything other than location. Took magic trick left, remembrance day poppy pin.

Mozzies not too bad today - GPS a little upset by the trees. Found with 2 other motorhoming geocaching friends. TNLN and TFTC

Lots of mossies and a steep bank, a good one to find, left star

Mosquitos were definitely there to greet us, but we were prepared. Took sticker, left bottle opener keyring. TFTC

Our 2nd go at this one and we found it much quicker this time due to the cache being slightly exposed. I love these size container ad they good for swaps.
Not many muggles around today so it gave us time to check out the cache.
Took traveller tb
Left snoopy tb
Thx Fergclan for the cache

Had a great time looking for it
TFTSL

Oops. forgot to log TB Drop

Found after about 30mins in a place I looked at early but not quite carefully enough. Great job Fergclan! Shame about all the rubbish and the mozzies. Dropped off a TB (Brought to you by the letter D) I've had for a while.

2nd attempt at this one and came up trumps. Co-ords are not that far out, probable 10 metres max. Not bad considering the tree cover. Mosquito density also not helping satellite coverage. They nearly ate us alive. Thanks to Mrs Griffo for finding the goods. Dropped of two cd games for the next visitor. Grabbed TB. Thanks for the cache guys.

Tough day at the office. 2nd dnf of the day. Found what I thought was the ideal location to hide the ammo box but was able to find it. After scrambling around for 20 minutes I returned to the car and grabbed a torch. There were a few spots where it was really needed. However even this failed to help. In the end I left, tail between my legs and just the lizards to protect the mystery cache.

Found at 15:15 on 17-Oct-2010
After being out all morning, I came inside and saw that there was a new cache waiting to be discovered in Casino. I wondered whether I should go and have a look now, or just wait until tomorrow, when I’ll be in town for work anyway. The kids were getting bored, so I decided to load them into the car, and make the 30 minute trek down. I looked for the cache for 20 minutes, and couldn’t find anything – I wondered if I was in the right spot. The kids were anxious to test out the nearby playground – so we did that for 20 mins or so, and then went back to the hunt. 15 minutes later I had the cache in hand, very close to where I first started looking. Great hide, enjoyed the challenge! I took the FTF flag and the little puppy. I left a wire puzzle, a magic towel and one of my new little pathtags. I also took the coin to move it on, and left a TB. We celebrated with an ice cream on our journey home. Fantastic first cache, thanks Fergclan!

After waiting for a park full of muggles to thin out, the search began. We looked fir a good 1/2hr but to co ords just wanted to put me in the river.
We will have to come back for this one.
Tftc

Just dropped off geocoin for the cache.
