Tftc, pulled up on the wrong side at first

Found on an impromptu Easter road trip with CaptainVimes and little_miss_cacher. Thanks for the cache groovydoo

Finished the trail and looked at the caches further along and decided due to the time we were not going to be able to get to do the Dorrigo caches, so we would pick up those along this road, up to as far as we had been before and then back towards town, it is still blowing the skin of the custard.

Thanks groovydoo for the caches.

sneaky highway finds

On our way to Armidale for a few day's caching and picking up the ones along the Waterfall Way as we go. Thanks for the cache.

#7009 Day 3 of our "Dayboro Plan B" trip. mtrax & myself, having decided to ditch the mega came up with a last minute re-route using some of the accommodation we'd already booked and find some interesting caches. To this end we were very selective and only chose caches with sufficient FPs along the route. A few showers at times today, but on the whole it was a very productive and interesting day. The highlight for me was the caches around Dorrigo. Quite a different feel to the coastal towns we have visited so far. We couldn't get far up "Waterfall Way" due to a landslide, but still managed to grab a lot today.

Broken lid but dry.

Thanks groovydoo

Short walk as we overshot the GZ

Tijdens rondrit vanuit Coffs Harbour deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

We found this on our way back to the van.

I was on an Australia Day long weekend road trip with Pprime, Fangsoki and 1MinniMoo and we had targeted caches in the area which would help us to qualify for a number of challenges.

We parked close to this one.

TFTC groovydoo

With Fangsoki, Crew153 and 1MinnieMoo we have hit the Dorrigo Plateau for the weekend - having arrived yesterday we set out for day two through the early morning fog, next up here. We had no issues finding this one.

Thanks groovydoo for entertaining me at this location.

A road trip long weekend with Fangsoki, PPrime and Crew153, staying in Dorrigo. We had cut a few along this way short yesterday, so we’re grabbing these first up today.
Crew153 made the grab on this one, which was our last catch up cache from yesterday.
Thanks for the cache groovydoo.

1MinnieMoo, Pprime, Crew 153, and I were in the Dorrigo / Ebor Area grabbing caches. This was our second day while in the area.

We enjoyed all of the caches in beautiful area - and appreciate the effort the cache owners put into the caches.

Another good quick find. Cache was OK, but it’s hiding spot has been damaged, probably because of a car accident. Maybe worth a visit by the CO.TFTC

An easy find, on our way eastwards. Thanks for placing.

Spending some time caching around the Dorrigo area

Std cache in a lovely spot

Found out on a caching day around dorrigo and surrounds, with the main aims the bald hill and deer vale road caches. sorry for the generic logs and thanks for the cache.

We are on a 5 day camping trip around Dorrigo and Armidale, grabbing some caches along the way.

Nice quick stop, no troubles finding the cache.
Thanks for the cache

Another quick stop!

Our caching list for today was brought to us courtesy of groovydoo! Thank you for so many caches to be found.
Some more caches were found in between those on the Deer Vale trail and the Bald Hills run. None of there proved to be difficult to find and our name was added to each list. All the containers were in good condition, as were the contents.

We have been staying at the free camp in Thora with our caravan and using it as a base to cache around Bellingen and Dorrigo to as far as Ebor. Fabulous countryside and we have loved the creative hides. Thankyou groovydoo for placement of this cache and sharing this special spot with us.

Found with my Dad and little brother on our Australia Day weekend adventure....

Heading to visit Dorrigo, where I attended High School, and caching along the road. TFTC groovydoo.

Travelling north to QLD and decided on a change of scenery from the main highway so detoured for a country drive. I picked up a number of caches along the way and this was one of them.

After signing the log the cache was returned as found.

We were here four as muggles. The cache contaner has changed since then so I was looking for something different but soon spotted the hide.
Thanks groovydoo for the hide.

Gevonden! Thanks and greetings from the Netherlands!

I didn't plan on searching for this one, but as there wasn't any traffic around me, I decided to stop anyway. Found the cache quickly. Thanks for hiding!

Quick find on the way to Armidale. TFTC

Beautiful water courses around here. Tftc

TFTC Nearly screamed passed then realized another cache

Decided to have an impromptu weekend away from Newcastle after the floods, so what better time to have a crack at gaining some stats for GC4K8YK NSW Altitude Challenge? It was however made more difficult by very limited reception, which meant all we had on the phone was the map with 30 closest caches and no information. A good test of 'cacher's instinct' - we only had 1 DNF which was pleasing. A fun day out with the kids, recommend the growers markets 45 minutes down the road too - great coffee and waffles!

Once we finished the Bald Hills series we snuck in a few bonus ones. Happy times. This one was another quick find in the logical spot. TNLN TFTC

Nice hide, all good here, TFTC.
