Dayboro trip. Day 6. Today I was caching between two counties one either side of Casino. West in the morning to Kyogle, but I did not visit the town and then East to Lismore, but just skirted the edge. The afternoon was spent in Casino doing the Where-i-gos and the Challenge caches. A great day and my last non-Sydney Counties with a find done.

There had been plenty of water here, and I was running out of spot to look. I did eventually put my hand in the right spot and found this tiny little sucker.

Thanks.

Lake Somerset Trip - Day 2
Heading north with Tardis0061 and picking up some select targets on our way. Of course also taking the opportunity to add some more LGA's to our list. This was a little side trip from Casino to make a find in Kyogle.

Away for the weekend with RoddyC, hatzofff, Snickersallan, GrannySmith 1947 and TMZ59 caching in the Casino-Lismore area.

After spending the day 4wding in the forest grabbing a few Dirt Bag caches, we stopped by to see this old homestead and countryside. What an amazing location and house. Loved the fence decoration near the letterbox. Cache unloved as well.

Thanks for bringing us here.

A weekend caching with RoddyC, Snickersallan, patrol14, Grannysmith1947, TMZ59 picking up some smiles in the area before and after the event to say farewell to seemyshell.

We were out today doing some 4WDing in the state forest. This was a detour on the way home to pickup these 2 unloved caches. A very interesting homestead.

After visiting the nearby earthcache, we stopped to find this cache. The cache itself was a quick find and my name was added to the logbook. I love the history of the homestead and am very pleased to see that it has been so well looked after. With recent rains, thee paddocks are nice and green. This made for some lovely photos. TFTC

Cruising the backroads today and I found meself at this scenic spot Smile
I could see a grande olde house about half a click away from here Big Grin
That must be Old Dyraaba !!

Meanwhile at GZ things did not look too promising for a cache find !!
There must have been three feet of water over the bridge last week [:o]
That left not many places to find a cache, if it was still there to be found Razz

I poked around and after 10 minutes decided that it was a DNF !! [:o]

Another quick read of the cache notes before I finally left and .... hang on a secoond !!
A bl@@dy nano, spawn of satan, death to all nano hiders [:o]

I went back to check a bit closer.
Ha !! Gotcha !! Razz
The cache must have been an inch above the floods, but it was there to be found.
I just didn't look close enough first time Red Face

TFTC and detour !!

Not the intended cache for today, but due to a lack of knowledge of the local roads I ended up driving right by this one.

Left home at 6:30am and parked by the cache around 7:30am. A nice easy find and I was soon back in Lismore around 8:30am.

A bit more map reading before attempting the other cache in this neck of the woods.

Thanks
