Spearmint leaves from the Lolly Bag Loop Condong, New South Wales, Australia
By TooDogs on 29-May-12. Waypoint GC3MEFC

Out for a country drive today and maybe a short geocycle if the weather holds and the track looks ok.

Double whammy with this one. I had read some logs on the other cache so I knew I might find two caches here. Found the this one first.

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

I had a look myself today. I recently replaced this cache after no response from CO - so I know where it was or should be. Couldn't find it so I guess it's gone. I won't be replacing it this time.

Dnf

Couldn't find after a dig around

Caching with friends. A quick find. TFTC

Had a weekend away at the besties place again and we thought we would head in the other direction to what we did last time as we crossed off most of the Lolly Bag Loop.

This was our thirteenth of 23 finds for today so we were pretty happy.

Nice and easy park and grab here. Had a quick wander around this wonderful tree to admire the beauty of it and wondered what it had swallowed up as it grew to be the giant it is today.

We were a little put off initially as there had been a few DNF's from more experienced cachers but thought we would give it a crack anyway. Happy to report that we found the cache. Safe and sound and nice and dry. First to sign to reinvented Spearmint Leaves!! YAY!!! Grabbed the Paris keychain.

Cache is ok.

Log signed and replaced as found. Another one ticked of the Lolly Bag Loop.

TFTC

4 of us had a good thorough search, it's well gone.
Owner please replace or archive this cache.

After reading logs and saw that a new person put a new cache in but couldn't find it after 10 mins of searching

Didn't find the cache but did find heaps of broken glass bottles.

I found the log shredded and cache missing here in April. Since then, no response from CO and their account has not been activated since March. So today, I replaced the cache and included a new log and some swaps. Spearmint Leaves from the Lolly Bag Loop is back in action. Happy New Year!

Think this is it but was not gain enuf to stick my hand in with all those spiders!

DNF but didnt get long to look as some muggle kids came up to climb the tree.

Such a shame,thought it was my lucky day when the bird did a big poo on me at the other spot. But no such luck. Beautiful busy spot.

Please check found tin iron and elk horn and dug amongst all the roots not there

Couldn't find the cache searched around the clues.... Beautiful old fig it's amazing what it's eaten bits of tin, inch thick steel cables and God knows what else

I left a DNF and photos of the torn log that I found at the site. There is no chance that it is here.

No sign of the cache here but found remnants of the torn up log on the ground at the base of the tree. I'll send a photo of the bits later. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Sadly a DNF for us today
Found the corrugated iron and the plant but definitely no cache
It seems that this great spot is being used for drugs
Found a syringe on the ground
Thought we would check this one again after a CITO Event close by
Drove up to area but a small car parked under the tree at go

Love the tree! Pity some people treat it as a rubbish bin. Glad the cache still here and in good condition. Kids loved swapping swag again from our newly formed geocache stash. TFTC.

Raining, perfect made the find more challenging due to the mud. Really well hidden. And the staghorn is tiny. ~the places

Smilie #1897

What do you do on a day when it's pouring rain in sunny QLD?
Go caching in Northern NSW (where it's also bucketing down) of course!

Our first cache of, hopefully, many today.
Wow! Look over there! That is one MASSIVE fig tree!
A nice quick find in the rain to kick us off.
Signed the log & replaced as found.

TFTC TooDogs

TYFTC. Small stag horn !!!!

Found

Found it with Simsal 2

Found after searching large hollow with gal sheet and staghorn above. Next pocket much better. Left swaps. Tftc

TFTC! Pretty easy find. Watch for mozzies, ticks and spiders as they were all out and about when Jonh92 and I found this one.

TFTC. Watch out for spiders and ticks.

To me a little bit to find

Easy. The fern gave it away.

Not quite where it says it is but nearly

Caching with nessie56 and malrob66. Quick find. TFTC.

Tftc

Awesome tree.
TFTC

This tree belongs to my childhood and I still have the scar to prove it.Love the fact that there is a cache here. I seem to remember having to blame corrugated iron for the three stitches in my knee so was even more delighted to find mention of it! Oh the memories of waiting for the school bus perched half way up that tree! TFTC

Had to abandon this one the other day when a car load of muggles pulled up for a very long smoke. No one about today so in and out quickly. Cache all good.
Thanks Too Dogs.

Thanks for the nice easy cache.

This was our last find for the day. The hint showed us where the cache was hidden so we soon had our name added to the log. Put back where we found it. TFTC

tftc..

TFIF

Found with the GeoCousins while on a visit from Sydney. On a beautiful drive along the Tweed River. TFTC

Great tree, great cache one if my favs. TFTC.

What a beautiful old tree. Quick and easy very pretty area down here found with Diamonjs. TFTC

Well we have come to the end of the Lolly Bag Loop, it has been a great day of caching, we have seen some gorgeous scenery (but I am biased to the area), found some really great caches in some interesting hiding places. I really think we must have frequented the same lolly shop as I knew all the lolly types. My childhood lolly shop was across the road from the Murwillumbah hospital and I remember it with great fondness. TFTC and I give this a fav but it actually is for the loop as a whole.

Very good place to hide cache

I just been there and its a great hunt

5483 Caches Found
Found while meandering my way home. After attending the Xmas in July in Stanthorpe, Qld. .

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing.

Thanks for the great cache TooDogs(8D)

Thanks for the cache, cool camo. Good spot for a cache. Caching with McLookers today.

A nice quick find by the Geokid before we turned off this road. Good camo of the container. Thanks TooDogs.

Visiting Byron Bay from Ballarat for a couple of days and caching with Tomstache and a couple of muggle friends, we ventured to Mullumbimby Market today, stopped for a pie at Billinudgel, then continued on to Tweed Gallery to see the Margaret Olley Exhibition and enjoy afternoon tea before heading back to Byron Bay via the coast road. A stunning day all round.

dropped TB little bear peep

beautiful old tree found little bear peep TB !! grabbed it and signed off tftc

Decided to take a drive for the day from Fingal where we are house sitting to Murwillumbah caching along the way. This was our first stop. An awesome tree ! SL TFTC

Magnificent fig tree. TFTC.

Found it. Out for a drive around. Of coarse doing some caches

Out for a fun day of caching in the area. Hope to do the loop.

Found by Boofhead Snr. He is on a roll. Tftc.

Took travel bugs and will reassign soon TFTC

Whooooo found it

Greetings to all the Lolly Bag Loopers, I did a full maintenance run today and I am glad to report that all the Lolly Bag Loop caches are now fully operational. Thank you all for being so patient.
Regards

I find myself today all alone and up very early watching my caching buddies (and geowife) all climbing Mt Warning. They have left me because I have a recent health condition that prevents me from climbing anything too strenuous. So leaving Murwillimbah Caravan Park at 3.30am I drove around The Tweed looking for suitable terrain caches.
This one will be my last in this series for the morning (little did I know at that stage that I would complete it all later that afternoon and night!), and I appreciated a container that I would be able to leave a few trackables in.

Down for a weekend taking in the sights of the Northern Rivers and to tackle Mt Warning so what better to do on the way.

Appears this was the start of the lollies for me. I continued to feast on them during the weekend.

Geo Wife and I had a day to ourselves and the Lolly Loop and it's other caches were still on our unfound list so we headed South hoping for a great day.

This was a nice hide to start our day with and we got a glimpse of what we were in for today.

We had been told that the hides in the Loop were challenging with varying options and this fitted that description.

Thanks TooDogs TFTC SL

Found it holidaying with my geo family from Melbourne TFTC

Found a while ago with ash&shaun1003 and ness&kadin92.

Beautiful tree

Found on our 2 day trip to Kingscliff. What a fantastic site for the container. TFTC.

Had plovers guarding the cache at first but they eventually moved and we got the cache TFTC

I was driving by to visit friends (with TheWife) when this cache popped up. As I hunted and got covered with spiders, TheWife calmly spotted the cache and left me to it. TNLNSL. TFTC!

Found on our second visit we have been putting as my daughter calls them fairy sparkles in caches this weekend Cause cacheing is magical (miss 7's description of caching).

Found it! Visited some TB's to add to their mileage.

Wow! Now that's a tree! Cute little Elkhorn

Great cache

TFTC. Magic tree

Ta.

Found by the geo-crew during a morning of caching around the Tweed. No problem with being spotted by the traffic on the old highway either. Great tree! Many thanks TooDogs

Dannza and I had a couple of days off work, so what better way to spend it then a caching road trip to Byron Bay. We found the first lolly Bag last today. We have enjoyed the series and we think we have all of them in our caching bag of sweets. Thanks for the series TooDogs

Walked up to this one and found some sheets of in iron amongst a lot of rubble, but thought with my head not my geo sisters brain of dive in think second and went further around, OOOHHH that is a lot better. TFTC

It was a great hide i personally loved the co-operation of everyone in my family my sister actually had a go

Trip from Queensland to Coffs Harbour with Everlasting and geodog! Lovely tree TFTC

Wow loved this tree, The weather is not nice but nothing stop us... we found it and signed the log with dolphia. Thanks TooDogs.

Our first cache. The hints and clues were a big help! We received a Karma Coin from some frienda in Geneva that got us looking at the game. We will move Travel bug to them

Found with little help from our friends.

We were contacted by sugarygoodness as they had a travel bug in the cache before it was logged as muggled.

As we were the last to find the cache before the missing log we thought a trip back was in order.

It was still there in the spot where we found it.
We took the TB and old Cache. Will organise it's return to TooDogs.

TFTC Found while having a caching day in and around Murwillumbah .. Good hide .. Clue helped greatly but I'm going to go one further and say brown elk not the green one

TFTC. An uneventful park and grab at a great climbing tree with no need to climb to find the cache. Picked up Chocolate Moose Tb and dropped off our travelling mint TB for further fruitful and continuing travel.

HAPPY BOXING BAY.

Mum has recently bought a van to travel around Australia in a few months time.
So a test run was needed. [^]
So a few days were planned to head south from Brissy and travel from cache to cache.
On Xmas Day we slowly we made our way south to Byron Bay and then up to Brunswick Heads looking for a caravan park to stay for the night without success. Eventually we found space at Wooyung.

Today we plan to make our way slowly north going from cache to cache. It seems every caravan park up the coast is full so we decided to head inland, eventually finding space in Murwillumbah. Lots of caches out this way as well. [^]

This one looked like a long search but the hint helped a lot.

Thanks for the cache.

Found while on Christmas caching holiday with Brother Colin. What a great tree. Wanted to be young again and build a tree house there. TFTC

The last one in the lolly bag for today. I think my lolly bag is loking a bit empty too I thought I might be here for a very, very, very long time. That is one big tree. So many places a cache could be. The hint was of great help and I found the cache in the second place I looked

Found with the children and grandchildren

Found at 0820. A quick find with the help of the clue. This would be our last of the series. we enjoyed traveling the back roads the series took up Thanks TooDogs for the series. Now we will depart the scenic area an head for home.

TFTC

Found it. Another nice easy one. Some Muggles, or perhaps fellow cachers arrived while filling out the log and quickly left again. Great spot. TFTC

Decided to go on a drive in an area South of the Gold Coast today, collecting mainly drive by type caches, with 3 of the kiddies on board. Grabbed quite a few finds for the day, and one DNF, but that happens. Good weather, good time driving around. We even grabbed three of those finds at night. Thanks to all cache owner for hiding and maintaining their caches. TFTC.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Used the hint and made the find. Love those ferns. TFTC.

"Elvis has left the building!"
I had a good look yesterday and apart from beer bottles and the usual rubbish no luck.
So I have left a new cache and log, I could not see the sense it leaving it in the old position (x marks the spot) so it's now hidden around the other side of the tree but look for a sheet of corrugated iron embedded into the tree (there are a few) and a small elkhorn fern. Please cover cache with leaves when replacing.

Found tree. Found x. Found lots of bottles and and broken glass. Did not find cache

Looked everywhere. Found the geo x spot. No find though.

So many places
Good hide
TFTC.

I love the smell of the sugar mill and spearmint leaves are my favourite. The smell around ground zero was less than ideal however but with pegs on noses Aussiemates and myself came up with the goods. Think someone lives under this tree?? Thanks for a great morning of caching TooDogs.
