I believe this cache needs archiving. Hasn't been found since the floods that ripped through Murwillumbah in March 2017. The bridge that this cache was on had well over half a meter of water running over it and the cache is nowhere to be seen. The CO doesn't seem to be active in geocaching anymore and there have been many of their caches that just aren't there and need to be replaced or archived.

Not found today. May have been washed away in flood. It was raining and road was busy so our hopes of finding it were slowly fading headed on to the next one with a dnf for this one.
A trip across the border with geomum, Mr and Mrs RoddyC and Team Benders. This cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC
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.
Well, it wouldn't be a power trail without a cache "Va gur envyvat." Nice quick find.
Log signed & replaced again. Found at 10.20am on 7th March 2017. TFTC, TooDogs.

On a lovely day out with RoddyC and Selva Girls doing the lolly loop and others.
Each of these lollies I have sampled while growing up.
Cant say which are my favourites as I love them all.
I wandered to GZ and found this cache.
Log signed and returned to where we found it.

Found with my husband, my sister and joojoo57 on a lovely day for a drive. I was sure glad to have air conditioning in the vehicle. Thanks for the cache, TooDogs.
Finally nabbed by Darkness after Purple had risked life and limb in the totally wrong spot for it.
Found some fab Coucal feathers on our way back to the car - wondering if the owner of said feathers is OK?
Who didn't have Freddos in their childhood - we still get a couple occasionally - I feel like some now.
T4TC TD!

Found it today. Despite my GPS telling me to go further along, I stopped where I guessed it might be (after reading the hint) and found it. Thanks.
My first Lolly bag loop cache and I couldn't find it. I have just read the hint and think perhaps my GPS was sending me too far along. I'll have to come back and check elsewhere.
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 .
Found a place to park away from the road, and wandered over for a quick find. This is a nice peaceful spot.

This cache was found in good condition, and adds to our total of 2367 smilies. Thanks **TooDogs** for showing us this spot. This log is trackable... discover our code TGQNRV, and please mention where you saw it.

Out and about with DanteMc today for a little caching.
This one was missing the last time I was here.
A quick find on our way out to go fishing.
Thanks for the cache.

Out geocaching with geoson King-Fisher 8 for the day. Beautiful area and awesome weather. TFTC
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.
The app had us looking more like monkeys than freddo frogs but after a brief search back where I thought cache should be we located GZ.
Great condition. Log signed and replaced as found.
Off to the next one....

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!
A quick find despite the co-ords being out by about 11 metres.
Lots of muggle traffic but 'did the deed' without undue attention.
Log signed & all replaced as found.
Wish the rain would take a break!

Did a maintenance run today and found this cache in it's usual hidey hole. Put in a new plastic preform to keep log dry added a new log sheet and all is well.
On our trip we stopped at this cache before returning to Murwillumbah. This was a quick find, signed and then returned the cache back in its spot. TFTC
On our way to Murwillumbah for a family gathering so thought we would look for this cache. Not much traffic today so it was a quick find. sign and on our way. TFTC.
Quick and easy very pretty area down here found with Diamonjs. Got this one just before we got wet. TFTC

Had a lot of fun driving on the grass through trees and found a nice park by the bridge not far from the cache. I hadn't been having a lot of luck with my photography, but I think one of my best shots that day was taken in this location. TFTC
Geo Wife and I wanted an escape while the kids were at school and there were some of the Lolly Bag Loop we had missed out on and we were looking forward to "Gone Fishin!" so we headed down.
We were confused at this one as we were working on the old clue but once we realised the right position the cache was found quickly.
Thanks TooDogs TFTC SL

Out for an afternoon with Swellafungus & ruzzelz round the lollie bag loop [^]
All of these caches are nice easy finds but alas all need some attention, particularly the nano where the logs are full.
This one we could locate
Great drive with company and amazing scenery

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 saw this had some DNF's but we also saw a find in the middle so we thought we would give it a go.
We searched for about ten minutes in every spot that fitted the hint with no luck then we realised on checking the logs that the find was logged later with no back dating.
I really think this one has disappeared maybe the CO could check it out.
Thanks TooDogs. TFTH

Just a note to let you know that we did not find this one but we did leave quite a bit of skin down there. Thanks anyway.
Found this cache months ago while out with friends introducing them to caching... completely forgot to log it.

Day four of the Xmas road trip.
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.
Boxing day had us making 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. [^]
Yesterday I had to go to work at the Gold Coast. Back today to find more caches over the week-end.
Day four had us having a slow start to the day. Followed the hint to a place ...and no container. I think this one is gone.

Also a DNF, had a very good look with no result. Thanks for the hidn, Andrew Maryan and Lucy
Out on the lolly bag loop but no good. I am certain that I was in the right place . Clue made sense and cords were good but - no cigar! I sort of suspect that a muggle might have purloined this one! Another for the watch list to see if anybody fares better.
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.

Another in the series found. Got plenty of them today. TFTC.

Another all time favorite the Freddo. My two year old has just discovered them and of course she loves them. I took your advise and headed down along the well used local track. The water is pretty high at the moment, it's about to break the bank by the looks of it. Across and up to the cache hide I went to find a god awfull smell. It seems someone didn't read the note left on the back wall.
Found the cache and signed it before noticing the track that you didn't want to develope. What can you do.
Thanx Toodogs

Found with gourmetgazelle. Had a yummy lunch in the park afterwards, but no Freddos were consumed. Tftc
Pulled up a little past the spot and wandered back to GZ. Was trying to be quick as there was a bike leaning against the bus shelter but when I was leaving seems that nobody was there.

I took the scenic route from Brisbane QLD to Woolgoolga NSW to visit my muggle mum.
Chocolate Freddo frogs or chewy frogs... hmmm. Guess I should try both! There is a puzzle cache just south of Brisbane based on the chewy red and green frogs.
I took a geocoin from this cache and will move it on
On Sooty the cachemobile and I rolled to the next hide...

No problem finding this one, and I came in from the bottom as requested. The mosquitoes were the least of my problems. I was scared stiff that I'd meet up with a snake or one of those Australian spiders with huge webs. Swapped trackables. Wish I had more time in this area so that I could complete your series.
Cache # 2165, Found @3:05:00 PM.
Sent Renroc down for this one. Cache passed up and signed. No point in all of us getting dirty and risk falling into the creek.
Thanks to TooDogs for the cache

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
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 across the road.
A quick find in the end, and we were soon off to the next on

Gaz'n'Kab and I parked across the road from this one and made our way over on a wet New South Wales morning. The likely area was soon found and I was sent forth to retrieve it from the slippery area. A quick grab and sign before replacing all as found. I do enjoy a Freddo Frog, one of the few lollies around this loop I know and like. TFTC TooDogs
We obeyed and walked down the slope to the river and then back towards the bridge and then up to GZ. There is much evidence of high water around today after the cyclonic winds and rains we had this week, but the flood water didn't reach the bridge and cache was still there. Somehow though, the container had a bit of water in it. The log in it's bag was dry though and we dried the container and swag before replacing. Thanks for the cache and the stroll down memory lane TooDogs. [^]
Still drizzling when we got here but geodad and son braved the conditions and soon had cache in hand. Thanks again TooDogs. You put a lot of effort into this group of caches
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
A quick scramble down the side of the bridge led to this well concealed hide.

Visiting from Newcastle, house-sitting in Kingscliff, enjoying the area, I swear I have had all of these lollies in my past, TFTC TooDogs!!
Lucky for some 13 for us on the lolly bag run today...watch for snakes in the long grass and not the lolly type either...easy find from the clues.TFTC
I kept getting my lollies mixed up . Which lolly was I looking for and where am I now?? After two with too many swimmers, this one was quiet. 2 Chocolate lollies done. Thanks Too dogs.
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.
#4, we have left a piece of Piza to feed the Cricket.

11th of the day. Liked the characters outside the last house before the bridge. Found the cache but was a bit startled by one of the "swaps" - a giant weta? or oversized grasshopper?

was charging down the wrong spot when rainforest cookie said don't go that way, already there and geo kid had cache in hand, read faster next time I say. Freddo frogs not my favourite we haven't got to them yet.
geo girl and I don't really like Freddo frogs to eat but we like the Freddo's that we work for !!
while I was reading the cache details , Geo girl and Bliss Baby headed off down the Geo trail oh well. easy find but not for muggles. geo girly like the larger caches and we left a few swaps

I remember the Freddo was the prized lolly at any kids party.
I once again went to where I thought the cache would be rather than pay attention to the GPS.... Once I did this, found the cache easily.
Thanks TooDogs.

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 9 for us today. We immediately knew that this one was going to increase our terrain rating average. While not a tricky hide, access was not easy and Mrs left with a minor caching injury when returning the container back to its hiding spot.
Freddos are a favourite.

We went for a walk down the path and went under the bridge to find the cache. It was an easy find from there. One of the team was running along the track beside the river and he didn't see a whole in path and his foot fell into the yucky water. We took the trackable with the hope of getting it closer to Bali.
Mmmm Freddo frogs are certainly always welcome. The area was empty of muggle life today and we soon spotted the cache tucked away. Enjoyed the lovely area which I can imagine must get very popular at times. Not a lot of wildlife/birdlife seen today. Thanks TooDogs
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.11 for the day. I had a trackable items that was a dragon....There are lots of water dragons around in this part of the world.... There was water near the cache.... so I left it here.
Random Lolly Info: A great way to get free Freddo Frogs is to donate blood or plasma... I can't guarantee it but I have been given quite a few over the years at the Southport Bloodbank.
Thanks for the cache. Cheers!

Freddo frogs were always a favourite and so was this spot. Could easily have settled in for a few hours here. TFTC
