Ngaambul - Matt

It won't be today, but hope to check and Maintain the x4 Disabled MNCW caches this week.
Hold on please

Will check on it soon and replace it in a different spot.

Searched both sides of ramp, did not find anything.

Couldn’t find anything checked under both sides of ramp at the top

??

Cache has been replaced in the same spot. It is now a small pill container.
When replacing, please make sure that the rocks are in front of the hiding spot to stop the container from falling down the slope.

A trip to check on this cache will be made soon.

Spent close to an hour here searching the hint spot and further afield. Nothing spotted

AMAZING view!

Came back to turn a frown upside down TFTC

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.

Cache found

Favourite geocache so far. Spectacular.

Saw and disregarded the Berocca tube until I couldn’t find the little sistema container and had to read logs!! Fantastic spot and worthy of a fav point

With the creation celebration promo on i was going to be struggling to find caches around home to get the required number of points. Then as a coincidence i had to travel north for work. So i looked at the map to find some high favourited caches on the way There were a few in this area that i stopped and grabbed on my travels. This was the last of the brother mountains that i had to reach the top of. I did south a few years ago then north then middle. Great view will bring the family up here when we are back ine the area on holidays. TFTC.

Found it

An amazing view from up here, beautiful photo spot.

Found it top spot

Replaced the cache with a Berocca tube in the same location. Good co-ords.
Please replace the rocks in front of the cache to stop it from sliding out.

First one we haven't been able to find.

Unable to lay our hands on it

My way to 200 on a day! Log in details following with the last one.

What a glorious view from up here. SL; TFTC

Found it . What a great view
Tftc

As we made our way up the track towards the top of the hill, I noticed something dark brown bounding on the trail ahead. My first thought was that it might be a large dog that someone was taking for a walk, but then I saw it was actually a wallaby or kangaroo. Unfortunately, it slipped off into the bush before I could get more of a good look. How nice to see some wildlife along the way -- it's always a bonus when we are out and about when we see some Australian native animals.

We parked at the top by the communications tower and then made our way along the fence towards the ramp and the geocache. There were no paragliders or hang-gliders today. I can imagine it's quite a spectacular spot to launch from. I think this is the first launch site that I have seen in Australia. I suppose there are fewer sites because the country is relatively flat.

We enjoyed taking in the views, and I had a quick look for the container. I found it immediately, though there wasn't a stone or rock concealing it anymore. I added one of my signature small wire dogs to the container, but before I could return it, I heard some car doors slamming. I realised that I had not locked my car when I parked, so I dashed back to the parking area to see what was going on. There I saw three more cars with some people also coming to enjoy the panoramic views from up here.

I had to wait a while before I could return the cache to its hiding spot because those people took their time up here, so I took the opportunity to relax and just bask in the pleasant sunshine on this clear winter's day.

Eventually, the others left and I could return the hide. I added a bit of concrete to better conceal the container and then we were on our way again.

Awesome view. TFTC found with Michelle0568

Quick find but stealth required as a large number of jumpers arrived just as we did. Amazing views!

Today I started this series completing just this first section of caches over Middle Brother Mtn.
The day was fantastic with great locations and some magnificent views seen along the way.
Im really looking forward to returning to this series soon

Found it

What a view

What a great location and stunning views for our 400th find!!

The cache was located quickly after waiting for a couple of muggles to leave.
Thanks for the cache

TFTC found with colemanclarkefamily

Another great location. Found with Jacqui99

We started this series back to front from our earlier base in Wauchope, and now that we have moved on to stay in the Kendall Showgrounds we decided that it was time to start at the beginning. A scenic drive is a great way to explore bits of the countryside we wouldn't otherwise have visited, and it's great to pick up caches as we go.
Wow, what a magnificent view! A bit of haze about but still fantastic.
We can understand the rush the hangliders must receive!

TFTC smile 3266# Out and about with miss millie geo dog and what a wonderful view

Out for a family caching day to boost our numbers. Started with brunch at bent on food then off we go. Beautiful views. Had to wait for the muggles to clear out.

Clever spot

Great spot with fantastic view

#3931 (7 of 25 today)

First full day of my short trip to Port Macquarie. This is my opportunity to grab a stash of caches all day while the Geowife does her crafty things.
Found 25 including the first eight of the Mid North Coast Wander (was only willing to push the non-4WD mugglemobile so far) and a selection of other caches in around Port.

Actually beat her back to the motel by 10 minutes - and she had the key! Then out for dinner at Flynn's Beach.
A good day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Wow!

Took a few seconds before I realised where I needed to go. Once there I took in the fave worthy view.
Now that is spectacular, and one really slippery platform.

Checked what I thought were the two obvious spots - of course it was in the second.
Completed signing duties and replaced. Then just enjoyed for a bit.

So glad I got here.

You wouldn't get me jumping of here with a hang glider that's for sure! Fantastic views.

5301. Found with Relish64 while in the area. Another random sampling exercise for us with this series and a quick find.
A great location with some great views.
TFTC.

What a view! Was worried I would end up down the mountain, so took a min t take in the views before looking again

Found it on a drizzly Wednesday while in the area and hoping to finish this series. From caches 1 to 12 I didn't see another car. And sometime past that I picked up a leech (unknowingly), still bleeding after 4 hours. Thanks to all the people who set this series up and maintain it so well. A quick find thanks to the hint. Thanks for the warning about the ramp, today I would have ended up at the bottom of the valley if I stepped on it. TFTC

Tftc. We found this one today on our second attempt, and first after the cache was replaced. When we arrived at GZ there was a working bee happening clearing some bushes that were interfering with the hang gliders' take offs. Cache was sitting out in open. After a short chat with some of the workers, when I picked cache up without saying anything, one mentioned "coming to get geocache" and "it is emptier than before", so I explained how this was a replacement cache. I placed it more in keeping with clue. Left some shells and a keyring. Tnsl and continued our day.

We are so close to 1000 caches so we wanted to grab quite a few today. Replaced the container with one we were given. Lovely place here. Thanks you for bringing us up here.
TFTC!!!!

Couldn't find it. Can finally say we have been to the top of Middle Brother, what a view. Will Be back again!!

Unfortunately a DNF for us today, but the view was AMAZING!!! Loved it! Thnx for bringing us here.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

No luck

Find #921
On the homeward leg now, after spending the weekend Mid North Coast wandering and camping at Diamond Head. Yesterday we ran out of time to get MNCW 001-009 done, so planned a diversion from the highway on the way home. Little did we know at that time that a much bigger diversion was in store....
Thanks for keeping this trail great.
A highlight of the weekend this one. Great views over to South Brother, the highway and the ocean. I think the hint must be referring to the Indian Ocean?? When we arrived at GZ, there were two people sitting on the ramp, I was thinking, crepes this viewing platform is dangerous! It wasn't until the muggles told us they were hang-gliders it dawned on me what the platform was for. We explained geocaching, then the muggle helped look - and found the cache! Didn't help that I was searching the Pacific Ocean side of the ramp.....
Beautiful spot, and a trig to boot....

We found 22 caches in the Mid North Coast on our way home from Diamond Head today. TFTC!!

Wow, we made it, a second "Brother" conquered. Spectacular views, but for the life of me I cannot see why anyone would want to run down the slope and jump off the cliff attached to a bit of silk - not for this little black duck [?]. We picked a side each to look and I was the one to come up trumps. On our way back to the car we spotted a small goanna, he took one look at us and scuttled into the bushes. That tower sure has some doo-dads attached to it!

Found it

What a view, even with the rain and clouds. An easy find once on the correct side of the location.

Very nice area but sometimes i had some problems with my camper but i enjoyed the trip.

What an fun drive and awesome view! Thanks for the adventure

Found it.

Found after some help from a friendly paraglide waiting for a favourable breeze. Got to say the hint had us confused. I'd say it's on the other side. TFTC.

Meet David343 & Mrknexpert at this one.
3 1/2 years after doing the coastal portion I though it was time I finished the mountain section of this Mid North Coast Wander.
Some neat hides, great views and areas to explore.
Some pretty rough tracks in places and even the odd mud hole to contend with.

Met Code 1. Opposite side to what we thought. Tftc

Amazing views. Great spot. Tftc!!! #814

Such a magnificent view out across the Lower North Coast. Fabulous

Found this one quite a while ago. Second attempt But didn't log as we were going to come back to finish the wander series. We will come back and finish one day soon

Great view

Found by Phreddy of Newcastle. see my main entry on cache 001.

Fav point to follow, absolutely amazing view. TFTC, I will use a generic log for this series and go into more detail at the final mystery cache. Attempting this long and looks like amazing series in stages and in no particular order. Should be fun.

Travelling back to the Sunshine Coast from Sydney I decided to grab a few of this series to break up the long drive.

Continuing along the road I was soon at the next in the series and once at GZ it was a quick find.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

The views from here were great and I'm sure that on a nice sunny day would be even better. It would be good to watch the hang gliders in action too.

I've given this one a favourite point for taking me to a great spot.

Day 1 of a 2 day trip away with Seemyshell to Harrington area to do the MNCW.
What a brilliant trail..... it's like 3 trails in one with all of the different sections; mountain, ocean, bush. Love it! Thanks for all of the effort involved in setting this out and maintaining the trail so well.

### TFTC ###

**OCW Ali600, we decided to hit this trail as best we could over two days. Using my new i30 maybe wasn't the best idea for this trail.**

**thanks to all those who set up this trail, we will be back to finish it**

TFTC great series. Bit overgrown and surface was slippery from the morning dew.

Even the road up to this spot was lovely - those tree ferns are amazing!

And then the sight of the tower - kids were enthralled.

Then that amazing view!! Wow!! We did find the bikers..........and guess where they were sitting :O

Mr Ozglory had a quick chat with them about geocaching and he soon retrieved the cache. I wasn't going near that platform and was certainly keep the crazy geokids back.

Found in the company of Ozglory.

Thanks for going to the effort of this series

having a family day out and what better way than to go treasure hunting with the grand kids and their mum and dad. Today we all thought we would start the MNCW . Thank you so very much for placing and maintaining this cache, sl. Simply stunning views. Had a slight problem with a couple of love birds sitting on the cache.

This place is gorgeous! Our first chance at a beautiful view. Made the daughter even more excited to see what's ahead because she assumed it would all be boring dirt roads with nothing to see. Thank you for an amazing trail of well maintained caches. We appreciate it.

Tftc

Wow! Cool place. It really was cool when entering the forest to get here. My mum panicked about me being on the ramp. Haha.

Spent several days in the region as part of attending an awesome geocaching camping event with cachers from all around the region. Cheers to the Browngang for their amazing work! We had 3.5 days, 63 caches, met a bunch of new friends, had way too many drinks, and encountered a dozen leeches, a brown snake, and a heap of less squirmy wildlife, and even saw a future EarthCache being created. Not to mention the DNF due to police removing the cache! What an amazing weekend.

Have often contemplated have a drive up into the forest and we were very glad we did today. Only got 13 in this section of the series on this first afternoon (after a big hike up Jolly Nose, and with plans to get back to the event).

This was a very impressive location. I sat out on the ramp and admired the view for several minutes. What a glorious spot. Worthy of an FP - so you get one! TNLN TFTC

Found with Mum and dad (Gazkersh and littlemissleft)
Log signed as Tilly
I am logging now as I have my own account.
Thanks.

Wow what Fantastic view after arriving at the fenced off antenna we found the path and went to the viewing platform wow fantastic.

Thanks for the cache.

Ended up here today with Gazkersh and Tilly. WOW! What a view! Absolutely breathtaking. What a memorable cache this is! Signed log. Thanks so much for bringing us here Mid North Coast Mob. Just beautiful. TFTC!

Found on a day of caching with MK&LadyG. TFTC

Wow! What a view

Nice view on a clear day, as it was we got thick fog which briefly cleared enough to catch a glimpse of the fields below. TFTC!

Take care as platform very slippery when wet!! Pretty spot even though when we first arrived we could see zilch!! Cleared a little to give us a taste of a beautiful view! TFTC!

Me and champ (boxer pup) decided to put a dent in this series today. Great country side

Quick find but foggy day...
