Mary's second store Moree, New South Wales, Australia

Have moved away from area and no one to maintain it.

Hi ReXross,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Floods?

Didn't look as previous logs said flood affected

River washed it away during floods??

Didn’t find this.

It not there, flood took ot away

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found the cache site okay but unfortunately due to the recent floods the cache was nowhere to be found - have attached a photo of our group by the nearby sign for Mary's store and the cache site. TFTC

TFTC We found the site but feel it was probably washed away by the floods. TFTC

Found the spot where it should have been, looks like it was washed away or covered by mud. sue Trefoil took a photo of the place. TFTC

We found GZ but after a lot of searching and seeing where the water level had risen to realised it had been washed away or covered in mud. Suetrefoil took some photos to show our team had been there.TFTC. Needs maintenance

Couldn't find it, maybe the flood had taken it away.

Had a little look wind around but still very muddy and slippery after the floods. May have washed away, maybe there. Not calling a dnf yet.

Tftc found with earthly 65

Coords hard to get under tree cover..these coords pretty good..using our phones it was one tree to the left of us at gz where we made our find...thanks teamkross

Found 24.10.2020. Lovely spot by the river, especially on an overcast day. Birdlife in abundance. TFTC.

Today I found the geocache!!!

We went on a 4 day plane trip into the NSW outback with UncleGrog and Dino and Pebbles. What an amazing adventure! It was truely memorable and one of the best things I have ever done. Still look back at it in awe. Offcourse we found as many caches as we could (given the limited mobility on the ground).

Our last moring on the trip before returning to Newcastle. We went to the other side of the river into Moree town for some breakfast and a I couldn't resist another two caches over here which were nearby. This one was in quite a nice spot!

Thank you TeamKross for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Found this nice Cache together with Dino and Flintstones. Thank you for putting it out and maintaining it TeamKross.

Found together with Fred.

Muggels around. Lots of tree limbs and leaf litter, so maybe buried.

Nice spot for a cache.
Our first in Moree.
Thanks for bringing us here.
Cheers

We found it tftc Of to the next one.

Due to wifi problems: we found it a while ago, but the log didn't stick obviously. Anyway: a nice little spot to walk around. Thanks.

Took some searching (there's heaps of ground cover with recent vegetation clearing). TFTC

It’s lovely out here. Thank you Mary’s store. We enjoyed exploring you

Quick easy find

Part of a driving holiday, so a couple of touristy cache stops. Including here. We had planned to go up the coast road - but fires put paid to that and so we headed inland and the relative safety of blanketed smoke from Bombala to Boggabilla. Overnight tonight in Moree, and a quick side trip after dinner to check out the local history and the river.
Thanks TeamKross for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #7163}*

TFTC - Lovely stop for breakfast Easy Find
Left Disney figure for geokiddies

Thanks for this cache, showed me a nice part of Moree, even if there isn't much water in the river. Geocache found after a bit of a search, showing students about the joys of Geocaching.

Good find

Great place!

Thanks

Second try. Found it. TFTC

Great location sad to see it so dry.This is my 3rd geocach and loving it.

Day three will take me from Moree to Muswellbrook. Lots of caches, a few trigs and a whole lot of fun. Tftc

Round and round in circles, but we got there. Creek is so dry :/

No luck.

Nice hide took some searching tyfc .

Heading south from Gundy geo-caching and camping. Coffee stop at really great coffee shop, then time for a quick one by TeamCross. Found pretty smartly, but not a fan of caches lying on the ground I'm afraid. Anyway TFTC, always a good reason to slow down and visit otherwise undiscovered parts of towns and the countryside.

My GPS agreed so well with TeamKross's that it was a breeze. Thanks for the cache.

This one took a while to find and we had to resort to reading previous logs. While I was doing that Mr Beetle found it anyway.
There were lots of bits of signed paper in there but in the bottom of the container I found a perfectly good and as yet unsigned log book. Signed that and left it on top for future finders to use.
Thanks.

Found with sjg66 on the way home from Longreach. Thanks to all the cache owners who maintain these caches out here.

TFTC and for bringing us to a historic place in Moree absolutely lovely day here out geocaching with my adventure Buddy’s Squirrels0291 and her geohubby

Found with O319 on our way south.

Found after a short search with Churpy at this beautiful and historic part of Moree! Thank you TeamKross! : )

Searched around GZ for a while before seeing something over there that looked like a cache. Signed the log. TFTC

TFTC Cool cache.

Quiet here today, find in obvious spot, lots of water in river here. Thanks team kross for this and other local finds.

This was our first cache. Took a little while to find, but an easy find if you were more experienced. Thanks

Thanks for this one. All is good here

Lots of fun to find. Thank you!

Found it. Thanks TK for this cache.

#3485 A quick find with GM and co. Heading back to Canberra tomorrow. TFTC.

Travelling to Moree during the long weekend from the ACT meeting TheSkype. Long but a rewarding drive, seeing the sights and caching along the way. The main goal being the hot spring baths in Moree. TFTC

Yaaay!! I'm off on my Brisbane trip. Sad to be leaving my lady and her kids. I shall have to cheer myself up with geocaching ...

I've done some pocket queries and some research on the results. I'm trying to meet lots of targets for Professor Rapidly Wild's UGC series at home, so I'm seeking :

Two caches placed in 2000 - none found so far
One cache placed in 2001 - none found so far
119 caches of size "Regular" - Twelve found, so far
20 caches of size "Large" - One found so far
One letterbox in Qld - none found so far
One letterbox in NSW - none found so far
Any puzzles and multicaches I can reasonably find.

I've located enough caches to find on this trip on this trip to complete all but the last target. So we'll see how I go.

I'm tired. I need coffee and a walk. I have the coffee. and the dogs and I are taking a walk, looking for a cache (me) and trees (the dogs). We both found what we were looking for.

Day 1, Monday - 12 in total, including five "Regular" sized caches.
Day 2, Tuesday - 16 in total

Find no 14 of 16 today.
Thanks, ReXross

A difficult cache to find. Lots of likely hides but found after a search. TFTC

Took us a bit of hunting before seeing a telltale sign. TFTC

Tricky little cache

Hi there ReXross. Today was a driving day between Inverell and Moree - so a pretty easy day. We left Inverell early (before 10am) and arrived in Moree at around 12.30pm. This cache was a quick find and the container and the log are dry and in good condition. SL. Thanks to ReXross for this cache - our find #6640.

We had some time to fill in while our room at the motel was getting ready - it seemed Morree was quite busy over the weekend and they were still catching up.

A lovely spot.

On our way to the Mega. After setting up camp it was time to grab the local caches. A quick find as uncovered. Log signed and tried to cover better. TFTC

Good find

Came back with more eyes and knew what I was looking for this time

Looked everywhere but could find

DNF. Sad to see the litter on the bank of the river

Pity that Mary lost the shop
And down by the riverbank,
along I did hop !!

It wasn't too long before this cache was found
Not too much looking around

In Moree for a few days, mostly to soak in the hot pools but also to pick up a few caches while we're here. This was one of three we chased today, and a nice easy find as well. We had to wait for muggles to leave before we could make the search, but once they'd gone the co-ordinates took us straight to GZ. Thanks TeamKross for placing the caches around Moree. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess Madelyn.

TFTC very quite area. Cache all good

GPS jumped about a bit - it a 2-4 metre range. Found just below the grass line. No muggles about.

Hi there TeamKross.

We found your cache **"Mary's second store"** today. (This makes our find count 19440).

Today we cached around Moree. The aim of the day was to cache along roads we haven't traveled on since we became full time grey nomads. Once we've done that we can draw another line on our wall map).

We found 8 caches today (DNF'd 3) .We thoroughly enjoyed our cache raid. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container is in good shape. There was no log book so we replaced it with some post-it-notes we had handy.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.
**Dropped Trackable:** "Celtic Peacock Geocoin".

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

After a bit of searching found tftc

Stayed the night in this town and grabbed this cache before leaving. Nice bit of local history.

Amazing spot up from the palms. After an amazing picnic lunch in the park, it was off for our adventure. Had some trouble, alot of foliage. Not sure if GPS out or it’s been moved, but after a bit of treasure hunting, we found it

Swapped out contents

GPS kept jumping but got there

My first find. Woo Hoo

Thanks for sharing your beautiful river shame it’s a bit low TFTC
