001 - Mid North Coast Wander - In The Beginning... Johns River, New South Wales, Australia
By Mid North Coast Mob on 30-Jul-12. Waypoint GC3P19D

Finally got to 001200 to goTftc

Heading south and homewards to Sydney after a short casual geocaching visit to the Mid North Coast. A little challenging to get to GZ when travelling south but the favourite points and the step 001 of this lengthy power trail attracted us. GZ was unsurprisingly muggle-free. The container is safe but there was water inside and the log a little damp. We dried everything as best we could. TN L a little bumblebee SL TFTC Cheers Gaztek

A quick diversion off the highway. No time to complete the trail, but was nice to find one. Rescued a travel tag that is going rusty as container was a bit damp.

Retrieved NT/Marvel travel tag but Kitty travel tag was not present.

Tftc!

Great.

Parked on a sloping hill.

Found it Thank u beautiful day

We made a quick stop on our way north. A huge day of driving from Sydney to Red Rock (but caching along the way) meant we were here at night, and in the rain. It was a bit freaky actually, as it was very dark. I shined the car lights on the geohub as he made his way into the long grass. It was enough for him to make the find. Then to reverse blindly and turn the car around.. all in the name of a find

Nice quick find. Great hint. TFTC

On the hunting trail with pprass on a maintenance expedition. Quick find here with some general maintenance carried out. A fav point given for the caches past history. Another great day for caching. TFTC Mid North Coast Mob

Last night we camped overnight at a Hipcamp nearby at Johns River (highly recommend anyone to stay there if they’re looking for a place to stay whilst caching the series). I don’t have time to do the whole series, only have time to stop for one close by the highway, but happy that there’s a container big enough to drop a trackable in which I picked up in Bali, it’s from the Netherlands. TFTC!

Great thanks

Great hiding out of site. Love it.

Logged as GR8 for the Geocaching Retreat 8 cachers.

We had time for a quick group before heading back to our accommodation. This was the meeting place to discuss the plan of the first 9.

Found with our GR8 mates on our King's Long Weekend adventure to the Mid-North Coast.

After thinking we were finished for the day, it was off for "just one more". Actually, it was just nine more! TFTC

A GR8 adventure with seven other GR8 geo-mates, during our King’s Birthday Long Weekend Geocaching Retreat, as we drive the Mid North Coast Wander. Such beautiful country up here. What an effort to keep this series going for us to enjoy. Thank you to all involved.
I found this one and only MNCW cache back in 2019 so just marking my visit today with the team.

Quick find. SL as GR8. TFTC

GR8 mob, On this kings birthday long weekend tour along the Mid North Coast Wander series, group find includes Team Canary, Brewmaker, EverestHigh, Calypso62, and ziggau.
A challenging series of 200 caches made fun with this group.

Great day out working with the team from Sydney (signed as GR8) working on this series. It’s been a long time coming to find these caches and I appreciate the effort of placers and CO for keeping these caches going.

Found during our June Long Weekend Geocaching Retreat (with the GR8 team)

TFTC! Found it but didn’t have a pen. Picture of the log as proof

Driving up the coast today and grabbing a few caches along the way. This is a nice one - easy, decent sized container, and yet almost zero chance of being found by accident!

Signed the log and returned to its hiding position.

Thanks!

A day out caching with GeordieRoger, her first cache. Thanks for the cache

On a miserable days drive I decided to try this cache because of all the favourite points given to it, I must have missed something

On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
Not the place to bring a caravan. I managed to turn around so all good now.

Quick and easy find, container cracked and logbook wet, but still signable. TFTC

Though I currently live in the United States, I am here visiting relatives on this continent. After longer stops in South Australia and Queensland, I am currently driving between Brisbane and Sydney via Armidale. And every now and then I stop to look for stuff. No problems finding this. The container, however, is cracked, which explains why everything inside is very wet. I signed the log though and took a travel bug. TFTC!

Easy

Found easily. Not too far off the highway and able to pull off to the side of the dirt road about 25m from cache. Log was damp but able to sign. Left a TB behind to start its next adventure. TFTC.

Found with A.Crowther

#6962 Day 2 of our "Dayboro Plan B" trip. mtrax & myself, having decided to ditch the mega came up with a last minute re-route using some of the accommodation we'd already booked and find some interesting caches. To this end we were very selective and only chose caches with sufficient FPs along the route. After one day this has provided an interesting selection. There were a few showers about today and the wet weather gear had to come out.

Thanks Mid North Coast Mob

First one

On this long weekend we started the Mid North Coast Wander series. We did only 47 caches in Middle brother NP and Coopernook state forest because of some car issues but we will be back to finish the series. We really enjoyed the track with some nice lookouts.
Thanks Mid North Coast Mob to bring us on this track and all the interesting place. +1FP
