Owner has been absent from geocaching going on two years. Ive been back numerous times over the last few years and had a look in many spots. Maybe time for this one to go and allow for other caches to placed in this area.

I couldn't find this one but greatly enjoyed visiting this beautiful spot. I found two pairs of shoes, a wallet and car keys on some rocks with no signs of their owners. I was concerned that they may have drowned but then they appeared from the other side of the bank!

 
17-Jun-17
Wasn't able to find this one possibly due to flooding? Nice swimming area though!
 
07-Mar-17
A trip across the border with geomum, Mr and Mrs RoddyC and Team Benders. Another quick find and our names were added to the logbook. TFTC
 
07-Mar-17
Today we decided to tackle some caches we had heard about around Murwillumbah area, so I selected caches along The Lolly Bag Loop and suggested to Selva Girls (and her GeoMum) and Team Benders that we join forces for the day and escape the city and head for the country. We had a great time and collected 27 Smileys.

Oh there's nothing in the world like a black jelly babyBig Grin This was a beautiful spot spoilt by people needlessly dumping rubbish! What is it with some people! [xx(] Anyway, it was still an enjoyable find.[:X]

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 10.30am on 7th March 2017. TFTC, TooDogs.

On a lovely day out with RoddyC and Selva Girls doing the lolly loop and others.
Red ones are best.
A lovely spot.
Arrived at parking area.
A bit of a amble to GZ and Mrs RoddyC made the grab.
Signed the log and returned to where we found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks TooDogs Cool All good with this cache

Stunning hidden swimming spot. Being a warm spring day a few people were already in the water enjoying the cool delights.

Of course we chose to walk in the 'hard' way and finally came across the actual track sometime into our 'journey'.

GPS spot on but if stuck the clue is a good one too. .

Purple loved eating these as a child just to be sadistic to the little blighters. Eat their heads off, suck their guts out -etc etc brought such delight to us youngens. Darkness can not recall such barbaric acts on his jelly babies.

T4TC TD!

14-Apr-16
Making my way down through the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers, to stay overnight at the base of Mt Warning, with plans to make a sunrise climb to the summit in the morning.

Of course I couldn't resist making the most of my day, and sampling all these tasty treats on offer on the way down Big Grin.

Headed down the hill, but soon realised I needed to be down further still. There are a few trees matching the description, and whaddya know, it was in the last place I looked Big Grin.

This cache was found in good condition, and adds to our total of 2368 smilies. Thanks **TooDogs** for showing us this spot. This log is trackable... discover our code TGQNRV, and please mention where you saw it.

Hadn't seen my bestie in a long time we decided to do something different today. She had been exposed to caching but hadn't really gotten involved. After today's exploits, I think she is now hooked.

Living close to the Lolly Bag Loop helped as we just navigated our way from her place.

Guided tour around her local area, bestie was giving me the best spots for swimming and the not so best. This one came up trumps. She said there is plenty more shade here.

Short walk down the track revealed hint location. Quick find. Great container. Took the pill pen swag. Signed log and replaced as found. Great cache. I liked this one.

Smilie #1912

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! Smile

A nice little 'out of the way' spot.
At first I thought I was in for a bush bash but it turned out that was not to be the case.
Be careful in the wet as the path is VERY slippery & the river below (today at least) was VERY angry!
A well placed cache & I think this would be a popular spot in better weather.
Signed the log & replaced as found.

Did a maintenance run today and found this cache in it's usual hidey hole. Even though this cache is in a water proof container the log is still damp, so I've placed the log inside it's own container inside the orginal cache. Put in a new log sheet and all is well.

Strange man sleeping in his car at the top of the hill. Followed the path down to cache and signed the log book. Continued on and tried our luck at some photography. Poor lighting led to some disappointing photos. The area was fantastic and the photos were not doing it justice. We will be going back in better conditions. Some friendly muggles came through and we decided to finish up and head back to the car. The strange man had woken up and gave us a wave as we left. Even he was friendly. TFTC

When IolantheK suggested that we head off for a weekend to do an assault on Mt Warning for her 4000 th find I recall my response was in the affirmative almost immediately.Razz So IolantheK, T-Tech, Brother Colin, LadySim and myself set off on this early morning adventure, teamdfl joined us at the base of the mountain.

The remainder of the day was spent geocaching around the area with the mountain the centre of attention throughout. Swellerfungus and T-Teck joined me to travel the sights of the lolly bag loop and other caches along the way.

Do make sure you venture right down to the water at this one- it is worth the few extra steps [^]
 
17-May-14
Todays road trip with the boys (T-Tech and Ruzzelz) was a fun filled adventure through some very scenic countryside. Forgive the repetitive logs, but the hard part about a loop like this one is remembering the nitty gritty abiut each one. I will certainly comment on the specific ones that I remember, however suffice to say that the loop was great fun! I am not a fan of Power Trails usually, but this one was definitely worth it. The caches in general are simple enough to find, and most often have a great view or purpose for its location, so look around you at each one.
 
29-Apr-14
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.

We parked safely and went for a pleasant walk down the track down.

The GPS wasn't my friend here as misled me all over the place.

In the end it was Geo Wife who uncovered the hide.

Thanks TooDogs. TFTC SL

Nice walk down to the cache, but there was a very strange mass of caterpillars oozing along one of the nearby trees. Fascinating ... but revolting Smile. TFTC!

we live on the farm across the river from this cache and decided to have a go while swimming.
Cache was quickly in hand thanks to geoboy.
the log was..... um a few scraps of paper so we replaced with a book and rubber band around it so you can actually get it out.
There were no swaps at all which disappointed the geokids Sad after all for them swaps is loads of fun so they decided to stock it so any other families wouldnt feel the same.

Day four of the Xmas road trip. Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin

Mum has recently bought a van to travel around Australia in a few months time. Cool
So a test run was needed. [^]
So a few days were planned to head south from Brissy and travel from cache to cache. Smile
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. Sad Eventually we found space at Wooyung. Smile

Boxing day had us making our way slowly north going from cache to cache. Smile It seems every caravan park up the coast is full so we decided to head inland, eventually finding space in Murwillumbah. Big Grin Lots of caches out this way as well. [^]

Yesterday I had to go to work at the Gold Coast. Sad Back today to find more caches over the week-end. Big Grin

Day four had us having a slow start to the day. Wink This one was well covered. Smile Mum eventually found it tucked away and covered in stuff. Smile

Thanks for the cache.

Another swimming spot for Mika the dog! She was pretty happy that this one was here as it was getting hotter. We found the cache dropped off a tb and then went down for a doggy swim. We climbed back up the dirt path and at the top finally caught up with teamdfl the elusive "team" that I had been following all day. By this time I was dirty and sweaty and Mika the previously white dog was dripping water and mud and leaves. I was happy to meet another crazy person just like me. I discovered her TB's ,swapped a geocoin for a little car TB and learnt about extraction tools. Thanks TooDogs.
 
24-Dec-13
Dropped this TB.
 
24-Dec-13
Pulled up at the parking spot and there were already 2 cars here. As I headed towards GZ a lady came up the track with her dog. It was Perusal who had been following me around today. She managed to pass me when I sidetracked from the lollies for a bit of fishing. We had a chat about all things geocaching and swapped some TBs. I finally got Doen to the cache, which was another easy find. I did plan on swapping the TB in the cache here, but none of the one I had fitted in the cache Wink
 
21-Dec-13
Easy find, but log very wet and impossible to write on, container OK but lid was a little loose. Nice spot for swimming. Thanks for the cache, Andrew and Maryan and Lucy
 
08-Dec-13
Found it quickly I could believe that such a container would get damp inside but it was but the log book was dry but full and torn. 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I heard swimmers, so I sent the kids down to grab cache. Well, seems my young fella saw something interesting in the water. Cache business complete, I ask "So mate, were there girls down there in the water?". He answers giggling "Yes". I ask "They didn't have any tops on did they?". He answers giggling more, "No". I said "Boy, thats why I sent you kids down and not me". So, I avoided the screams of teenage girls toplessly swimming as I would have been hanging around the bushes finding the cache. Moral, if in doubt, send your kids. No one will hold a grudge against a 7yo. I think I dodged a bullet on this one.

Future cachers may find this information helpful. TFTC and a funny 10 mins.
 
06-Oct-13
Plenty of swimmers today. Weird - cache dry, log wet. TFTH Smile

They're an old favorite the Jelly Babies aren't they. I wish I had found the track on the way down, instead I took off through the bush then down the bank to GZ. Found the cache and signed the log before finding a perfectly good walking track out, what an idiot.
Cheers TD

Shanclose led the charge down the path and had the handy thermos located in no time. Will have to come back in the warmer months for a dip.
 
01-Jun-13
Found quickly once the path was spotted. I realised how us cachers say some strange things which seem perfctly normal - such as 'there's a dinosaur in the thermos'! Great container and TFTC
 
21-May-13
Gees first one that I had to put much effort in on the terrain. Although there were no cars nearby it seems that there may have been someone taking a swim today looked like somethings down on the rocks.

I took the scenic route from Brisbane QLD to Woolgoolga NSW to visit my muggle mum.

Lovely spot to sit and while away the afternoon with a large bag of chewy jelly babies!

An easy find, innovative recycling of the container and something a bit different Wink

On Sooty the cachemobile and I rolled to the next hide...

Visiting from Colorado and thought I'd escape the beaches of Coolangatta and Kirra and head towards the mountains. This loop road from Murwillumbah to Tyalgum is absolutely beautiful! I was able to do two of your caches before my gps started having some odd problem...probably caused by the maps I downloaded before I left home. I was so disappointed, because I wanted to do all of them. There was a man standing across the street from the one near the mailbox, so I had to skip it. One day I'll return to finish up the series. Thanks for the fun.

Cache # 2164, Found @2:56:00 PM.

Well, the water level had dropped significantly in the past month but it was still running well. A couple of kids were enjoying a swim in the pool below the rapids.

Thanks to TooDogs for the cache

Griffo headed up the hill a little further than my GPS was showing. No sooner had he arrived at the location he though most likely but what should happen? I called found it. Novel container which blended in well with the leaf litter. Another spot where swimmers would have been nice.

Out and about with Captain Terror today, this one was next up on the Lolly Bag Loop for today, and within no time at all, we pulled up at the top.

With all of the water lately, we slid down to GZ, and were shocked by the amount of water. We had a good look around, and eventually decided to find the cache Razz A quick find, and a very interesting spot we would have never seen otherwise.

This was certainly one of those caches that took us to an interesting place today. With Gaz'n'Kab attacking the loop and this was next. Being a very wet weekend we slipped and slid our way towards GZ and while the cache was of interest, the creek below was quite amazing. The muddy slope down was a bit of a challenge, but I made my way down a bit closer to check out the huge amount of water pouring over the rock wall. Quite amazing and tucked away so well. Sure wouldn't have seen it without the cache here. Back up to the cache as I had the pen and Gaz had located the beast. A wonderful spot and I am a bit of a fan of jelly babies. TFTC TooDogs Smile
 
02-Feb-13
Made our way down the swimmer's track to GZ and found the cache happy and safe in it's hide. All dry inside too. Many thanks for the Lolly Bag Loop TooDogs. Jelly Babies are still favourites. [^][^]

Slippery path down but at least the rain had stopped by now. Was actually hoping we would get a swim here but the the weather wasn't as conducive to a cool dip.....If it had been hot and sunny well that would have been a different matter.
 
20-Dec-12
On our way to Surfers for Xmas, so stopped by to find a few caches.
Today we thought we would do the Lolly Bag Circuit
No Jelly babies here, but a couple of water babies enjoying the water holes.

TFTC TooDogs,
Hear we go at out third adventure into "The Lolly Bag Loop" with a group of visiting trackables learning about the area to the west of Murwillumbah on the far north coast of NSW.
#5, Nice swimming hole.
 
10-Oct-12
12th cache today. There were a lot of muggles sunbathing down at the waterhole doing there best jellybabies impressions. Thankfully only one came past us and gave us an evil look as if we were spying in the sunbathing teenagers. It looked like we might have been from the spot we had stopped and looked innocent - especially carrying a camera with a long lens! Still we found a flask - no cuppa tea inside but we were happy with the contents found and log duly signed.
 
31-Aug-12
Who doesn't like jellybabies??

Wow, what a great spot this is!! Once again GPS took me straigth to it, an interesting container too!

I then spent some time to look at the view, a favourite point for me.

Thanks TooDogs.
 
31-Aug-12
One of us was celebrating a birthday, it was a public holiday where we live, and we felt like going for a drive and eating lollies. Is there a better excuse for doing the Lolly Bag loop?

Number 10 for us. What a pretty little spot!

We enjoyed the Jelly Babies from our lolly bag in celebration of the find. I think my favourite jelly baby flavour is orange.

Thanks for the cache.

What a great water hole, we will be coming here in summer. Nice easy find. TFTC
 
12-Aug-12
This was definitely one of my favourite caches in the loop today. This area is just beautiful and no wonder it is popular in summer. The water was icy today (only tested with fingers of course!). Stopped to enjoy the beautiful location and take some photos before moving on to the next cache. Magical spot. Thanks TooDogs
 
12-Aug-12
Headed into Mexico (south of the border) with Fangsoki and the Lokipagans to track down some lolly bags and other caches along the way.

No.12 for the day. A great little spot and a good chance to stretch the legs and grab some photos.

Thanks for the cache. Cheers!
