Suspect nearby muggle is perhaps removing the cache each time I replace it so will archive it
Looked in all the possible hidey holes whilst dodging the many muggles, disappointing to have a DNF as we almost cleared this area
Searched high & low and in just about every hole & nook & cranny. My Garmin said GZ was the tree where the water meter and tap is. There are a lot of good hidey holes down beside the water which I searched but no smiley for me today. I'll keep it on my watch list and see if it comes up trumps.
I could see the towers
The rest of the view was much nicer
And in a very cachey place I poked and prodded for a goodly 10 minutes until I had exhausted all possible hiding spots except for the one I somehow missed poking

Disturbed a lot of ants but couldn't find a cache here. A good spot to stop for lunch though. Was kind of hoping the neighbour in the know might make an appearance but that was not to be. Thanks.
We had the vehicle strategically parked, no near muggles and a good thorough search but the cache outwitted us today. A fantastic spot by the river. Maybe better luck next time.
On the way to home from Coffs, stop via repton for some caches area... Searched searched everywhere as unable to locate, maybe storm weather make mess out, so please checking if still there or gone either... Thanks...
We managed to pick a quiet time to look for this one. GPS co-ords were spot on and we soon found this one. Geoson's nimble fingers soon had it in hand. Lovely outlook here. TNLN. TFTC.
Heading up to Gumma Reserve for the week end so thought we would find a few caches that need to be found. The week end has been windy but its always good to find a few caches.
Hadn't been to this area before.
Thanks earthly65

Found during a leisurely late afternoon with the geo-crew around to Mylestom. I initially entered the wrong co-ords in the GPS which had me up the laneway across the road. Only heading back to the car did the geo-son look in a potential location closer to the river - and there it was. Very difficult to extract the cache from its hidey hole, even with geo-son's small fingers. Nevertheless we eventually got it out, signed and replaced (all hopefully with attracting too much attention from the locals). Many thanks earthly65.
We had an interesting experience at this cache site. We had pulled up in the car just beside GZ. As we started our hunt we had to look nonchalant as a muggle approached. He came straight up to us and asked what was it about this spot that was getting so much attention. He lives just down from GZ on the corner and has seen a number of people stop and start hunting around this location. We explained geocaching to him and he was quite keen. We told him what we were looking for and he wandered around and then said "Oh, is this it?" and pointed to a bit of the cache that was peeking at him from it's little spot. "That'd be it", we said. He laughed and wished us good luck in our future hunts and went back home. Now the trouble started. We don't know what was going on around here today, but there must have been at LEAST 100 (or could have been more) school kids here, there and everywhere, today. They were up the road riding skateboards, scooters and bikes at the skatepark. They were canoeing on the river, they were fishing on the jetty, they were picnicking and strolling. I'd say it would have to have been a school district end of term excursion or something. Anyway, as we were doing the fiddle to extract the cache a group of about 30-40 students started mingling close by and we decided to log our find electronically but not jeopardize the cache location with so many young ones about to swamp the area. We carefully placed some camo so it wouldn't be seen and retreated. Thanks for bringing us here earthly65 and robbieracer66. We've ventured off the highway for another cache before but never come into this little seaside/riverside village before. A wonderful quiet little place well deserving of a cache. Thanks for bringing us.
Phew, I did need a special tool but hopefully the car, from whence I obtained the tool, masked my activities until I retrieved and signed.
This is a tricky hide that I would not have found so quickly without a bit of assistance from the CO. It took me quite a while to extricate the container from its hidey hole.

Mylestrom turned out to be a delightfully peaceful little hamlet which I probably would not have discovered if not for this cache. Thanks Earthly65 for bringing me here. The GZ was a perfect place to stop and eat an ice cream on a stick while I tried to work this one out. In the end the stick provided the answer.
Found with Team Gnome while heading from Bellingen where we had visited friends for the weekend and on our way to the Bellinger Valley Meet and Greet.
Had to invent a special tool to extricate the cache from its hiding place.

Saw the sneaky hide pretty quickly, but it took a while trying to manouevre it out of there. TFTC
I thought I'd go out and find a few caches before the predicted bad weather hit. As I was turning into Mylestom I realised I had left my GPSr on the kitchen bench. I had three caches in mind so I thought I'd give them a try without the technology.
I positioned myself opposite what I thought were the twin towers and had a thorough search. The cold wind kept the muggles to a minimum so I had a fair crack at it. Despite my best efforts I had no luck. Next time with a GPSr I might have better luck.

Found at 4:56 PM GAFF1. This was the last cache of our trip and a return to this town from when we were here on Sunday. On that day it was picnic day and there were muggles all around the tree. They used it to prop up their bags against it. Today we were pleased that there was no one around and what is more, the sun was just setting and giving a spectacular view of the mountains lit up in a golden light.

As heading to his one, Geowife said there is your unlce, so quick u-turn and we were back saying hello, they were down fishing on the river back. After saying good bye we were at GZ.
After a short search found cache, Geowife Jade managed to get location while I was heading back to the car for something that might help.
