We found the cache without any trouble but the written instructions have been water damaged and pretty much fell apart in my hand. The writing has faded so much as to be unreadable. A shame as this one is unusual and looke like fun. We'll try again next visit.
We have spent a couple of days in Grafton to watch the Bridge 2 Bridge ski race. While here we though we would spend a day caching in the nearby area.
We spent a nice day travelling along the scenic country roads, mostl locations with views of the river.
This is the second attempt for us at this location. Found the cache previously but could not access the log book.
Today we were in luck, although the log book is extremely wet.
Not sure as Grub Fred mentioned maybe it should be harder to open the container.
Thanks for placing this cache Computer Man's

We decided to borrow a car while we were down and pick up a few caches TFTC
Cache was very wet we pored out all the water we could but most of stuff in cache was destroyed
We popped one of our cards to the sistema attached

Visiting from Newcastle, staying at Woolgoolga, headed up this way and found 14 today. Usually we are towing our caravan through here and wouldn't get the chance to go searching so it was fun exploring the district, seems like there are some problems with this one and probably needs a little maintenance, however I was able to get to the log and sign, TFTC Computer Man's!!
Found the cache uncovered and in plain sight. Found a word lock open but near the cache. Was unable to open the second lock. We're not entirely sure what the go was but having the first lock open ruined our fun.
Could the cache owner please contact us regarding this cache and its dynamics.
This one had us puzzling for a while but soon retrieved the log and signed it. I love the history behind some of these places.TFTC
Heading north on the scenic route from Grafton to Brisbane and this was the next one for a stop.
Initially I drove past just a little to far and we had to swing back around, not to worry though as the find itself is a piece of cake, working out just how to get to the log book now that could be tricky.
the first padlock was a piece of cake, second option I tried. The other one though, well I thought we might be making an overnight stay for a minute. Well long story short the log book was obtained and signed and everything replaced without a problem

TFTF. Took travel bug. Will take it up to qld hopefully it finds it's way to its destination
Nice one no travel bug though left lake eyre 2000 and a trinket let me know if you know what it is TFTF
It was raining when we arrived so we were glad to find the cache quickly. MrG recognised this container. Years ago he used one as a toolbox. Took it back to the vehicle for the puzzle solving which didn't take too long. Wow, first signature in the new logbook. Because of the rain we didn't get to look around but it certainly is a beautiful spot for the little old school. TFTC computer mans, a fav from us for such a clever puzzle. Left Spanish Bull TB.
We found the cache but we were not smart enough to open the box to the goodies or to sign the log. Would have loved to have seen what was inside. TFTC computer mans. Maybe another time.
Found the cache quickly but could not sign the log. Had a brainwave while riding towards the ferry, but still no joy. Hopefully 3 rd time lucky.
Found this one, but not cluey enough today in the short amount of spare time we had on our hands...a little different this one to what I'm used to....next time...tftc

I parked the geomobile nearby and wandered around to look for the cache
But the nearby buildings got me attention first.
What a lovely olde stone building, with twin outhouses by the look of it
Meanwhile back at GZ, in the middle of the road, I scanned the area for any likely hiding places.
Well the clue suggested a pretty specific place.
Nothing found after a full 10 minutes of poking and prodding
Given that this cache has not been found for 8 months or more, I think it may have gone a wandering
That's what an endless stream of finder's logs, followed by nothing for months, usually means !!

Enjoying the drive around this area again today finding more caches. Thanks for this one computer mans. The cache container is a bit different and quite appropriate near a school we thought. Nice hide. TFTC! TNLNSL.
Found as a drive past before heading back for a mountain bike assault on the caches in Maclean. The GPS had me in the middle of the road but the clue hepled and the cache was found about 15m SW of the posted co-ords. Would be marvelous to check out the old school house from a bit closer. Many thanks.
Find it we did. What a great place to have come to school. We found the coords were about 15m off but using a bit of common caching sense we found it after a short hunt. TFTC.
A beautifully maintained historic spot. Really liked the cache too. Thanks for showing me this place.
(Late logging of Find - 1/2/13) Found with MAP's and Cookie while on a road trip North.
Nice to be able to share the driving rather than having to pedal.
Bit long ago to remember it all

Found while on a 'road trip' with friends. We thought it might have been a problem with our borrowed GPS that the cache was so far away from the 'GZ', and while we tried to get a more accurate average we weren't familiar enough with the Vista to actually get that recorded.
TNLN, as it is a rather interesting container.
TFTC (and sorry about the late logging - 21/2/13, especially as somehow we accidently logged it for January, 2012! and it should have been December!) Computer Mans

1515 Had somehow missed out on another cache I's wanted to do, but on with the road trip with MAP's and MVMtBiker.
GAFF2 Went to GZ, then remembered the comment about being so far out, went looking and soon found it. While logging I did an Average, but either deleted it or over-wrote it in the process of adding a slew of caches for Qld.
Only the trackable shirt thru. And, couldn't leave the Correct Site Marker here, tho, probably not appropriate until the coords are fixed up a bit better

Quick find although we did narrow the search quickly by looking back through previous logs. TFTC

Found at 12:22 PM GAFF1. A beautiful drive along this road today on such a glorious day. Saw a couple of eagles along the way who kept a close watch on us as we went by.
We were lucky to find this cache quickly as the co-ords were about 12cmetres out and it was the comment about the neighbours being friendly that gave us the idea of where the cache was.
Thanks computer mans

# 313. Had pretty much given up on this one but luckily read a couple of the more recent logs and decided I too had better widen the search and have a good think about it. Even so, it still took me a few minutes but I liked the hide when I found it. I also found the coordinates approximately 18 metres out. My coordinates were S 29.29.283, E 153.07.906. TNLN SL. Thanks computer mans
We checked out all the armco railing to no avail. Widening our search, we found it 18m away from GZ. Cheers from Browngang

A quick find on my way back to Lismore from Grafton. A very unusual cache container.
Signed log.

Not found, then Magpyre said it wasn't in the location she found it. No sign of a cache.

Spotted a likely cache before I got out of the car TNLN. SL. Thanks for the cache.
This is my 300th find.

Of course I looked at the obvious - which wasn't the cache - meanwhile, geopoppy held up the cache to show me that he was clever

This was a quick find as it was lying in the open in the ground.
Sl them out back in its hiding spot.

This one had sat as a potential FTF for too long so we had to make the drive,got to GZ and a bit of a scout around and it was soon found,but alas we opened it up to find Magpyres name already on it.Dash it.But thanks for bringing us down this way computer mans.
It appears that I missed logging this cache, however it is now done. Intersting cache in a very good location. Like the different container.

I drove right past here this afternoon on my way back from a conference in Coffs Harbour!!!! Grrrr why wasn't it published a few hours earlier?
