I think I dug through many years of debri and educated a couple of muggles on this one, it is definitely missing. Please CO check it.
I dug through 6 inches or more of shit in the middle of the tree and nothing, no other tree nearby has a hiding spot, checked with another finder and nope it definitely is not there.
Camped last night at the Showground and thinking we were making a wonderful plan, left this for a caching bike ride this morning to find. Today . . . . raining! So much for that plan. A quick find, we saw it as we approached. Left more cover, hopefully it doesn't blow away. TFTC earthly65,
Final cache for the day. I'm afraid the dnf's and the heat have taken their toll. Good to finish on a win. tftc ttb/ln sl
After having stayed at a camp at Thora for a few days and doing caching around Dorrigo and Bellingen it was time to head further north (as we are on our way home to Qld). We chose minor roads and were rewarded with some excellent creative cache hides. Not always easy to find and it took us a long time to get to our destination of Grafton but we are happy to have travelled the back roads. Fav point alloc. Thanks to earthly65 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
While away for a couple of days from Brisbane visiting this area we nabbed a few cache hides.
We loved the countryside around and enjoyed our time finding the little smiley’s here and there.
The weekend was spent camping here at the showgrounds so before heading off we went for a walk and found this one.
All was good with the cache.

Whilst on a recent trip to Nana Glen with a whole lot of owners with similar caravans (45 to be exact) I walked a few paces to this geocache. We were all staying on the Equestrian Centre's beautiful grounds so this was a must do. Sorry for the late log but I have been out of contact for some time. I think I got the date correct, but it's within a day or two.
Thanks for the hunt and find earthly65 and robbieracer66. All is in good condition.

We're on our way home from the Alice Springs Mega event. Cached all through Victoria, S.Aus, Uluru, Barkly Hway, Qld & now back in our home state NSW ... finding some great camps along the way. Log stamped Coongoola, small logs signed CG.
Thanks for placing this cache earthly65 and robbieracer66.

Visiting friends in the area when we noticed this one as we passed by . After a bit of a search we realised the cache was hidden not in the first place we looked.Thanks heaps for the placement.
Camping here with caravan. Beautiful peaceful spot. Thanks for bringing us here.
Great little cache. Left some treasure for other junior cachers. Thanks for the cache.
I drove past today and saw that there was no one about and had a few minutes to spare. So, stopped and had a look for this one and found it.

We walked up and down a little, found the hint but drew a blank. Mrs. Herbz then widened her search area and spotted the cache tucked away. TFTC earthly65.
every year our motorhome chapter has it christmas party here and was pleased to find a cache here tftc
Found at 1238. Found on our first day of a weeks break in Coffs Harbour, geocaching and doing other things. TFTC.
There were some horses playing today
But there were not enough to generate the attendant muggle crowds of me last visit
So while the equines frolicked, merrily trying to toss those pesky riders on their backs into the nearest prickly hedgerow, I went unseen for a good 20 minutes until I found the really obvious cacche
High Ho Smilie !!! Away
The Lone Cacher, rides again

Haha here it is, lift up said item, nope not under there. Make me wonder if the owner set decoys on purpose. TFTC
Today we travelled towards Nana Glen, picked up some caches along the country roads.
Placed our caravan here for an overnight stay. Walked accross the oval to find this cache.

The logbook was a bit soggy, it was hard to write without pushing my pen through the soggy paper. The logbook could do with an airing to dry it out. Also the plastic bag needs replacing, it is split, which probably explains why the logbook is damp.
Following my GPS, I actually drove into the showground and approached the fence from inside. The showground is not closed to the public - so this is essentially okay - although as it turns out, it isn't necessary in order to find the cache. I'd generally suggest that you park outside the fence. Made friendly chat with a man on a mower, he said "the man in the hat is the caretaker" in case I wanted to speak to him (I didn't). GPS was jumping around a little, was accurate when it settled. I found the cache easily without anybody seeing me. In the meantime, the caretaker drove over to me, but he was friendly enough, he just thought I was lost. I explained I was "playing a navigation game" without mentioning that a cache was hidden on the grounds. He seemed fine with this.
With geo family ( Screer&co,Tcrally and it's geocaching time )
Fun with the geo family

Just like Archie cache from geo hog today found 3 in a row on a roll might have to stay in the car next to give geo family a chance I found I found it!
Yes, well we found the broken rail, then searched for the cache, which didn't take long at all. Signed the log, and then off to the next cache location. TFTC.
What a great day. Found so many caches. Found the broken railing and quickly found the cache TFTC
Had to be careful a couple of muggles around road was busy as there was a bushfire down the end of the road
Loved this area. Absolutely beautiful!
It took SCQ who was with us, to find the cache.
visiting from Canberra and who do you think is walking a dog...?
Someone else from Canberra! Small world!

An area we didn't know existed in Nana Glen until brought here for the cache. A nice quick find. They were burning a very large pile of wood not far away in the grounds and we were surprized at how hot the fire was, how large, and yet how almost non existant the flames were. Interesting. We picked up the TB to move along. The odd thing was we wanted to go from here to Glenreagh and TomTom took us straight on up this road and then over the escarpment you can see ahead along a winding dirt road with very large humps to stop the road washing out. A long steep climb up and another coming down. Glad we were in a 4WD or we wouldn't have made it I'm sure. But we did eventually. Lol!
quickly found with some muggles off playing horses they didn't notice what we were up to. Watch up for the clue, it's not as stable as it looks!
Drove into Nana Glen for supplies and out to the showground to find the grass by GZ being cut with the Council tractor and a few horse riders loitering across at the other side of the field. The tractor moved along and the cache was soon found. Many thanks.
Found with MoSSau and Squires Squire. Plenty of Floats and the dressage ring was in high use

Thank you. I took the FTF geocoin and left a Mickey Mouse TB from Germany. Perhaps one for the kids riding during the holidays.
Found after being attacked by the falling broken railing, left a geocoin, TFTC earthly65!!
A pleasant Sunday afternoon to go for a drive, take in the sights and grab a few caches.
This cache made me realise that Nana Glen is a bigger village than I thought.
After finding the three Nana Glen caches we went back to the Coramba General Store for a pie and a drink.
Thanks for the afternoon out and T4TC.

Since it was International Geocaching Day and neither my partner nor I had yet been to Nana Glen we decided to take a drive up here, have a look around and I could find some geocaches at the same time. This was the last of 4 in the area. TFTC
another easy find may be bit more difficult when the hint is repaired.tnln. sl. tftc.
The Pheebster so wanted to pat a horse. In the company of iLocate and The Pheebster TFTC
Found it in company of Rusty Dutchman, and iLocate. The locals were eying us off a bit, not sure what we were doing. Pretty good cache thanks. We left a spider and took a turtle. TFTC Earthly65
