Mr_Willmore

Mr_Willmore

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Came back for another try on our next trip down from Brisbane. Even after getting some clues from CO, no luck, I suspect it’s gone...

Spent a good half hour with the kids searching but no luck

Looked and looked and looked some more. No geocaches to be found anywhere. Not by us anyway.

DNF 5 sets of eyes looking but no where to be seen.

There was a rodeo at the showgrounds on the 29th Dec so it may have been removed

No luck today

Hi Computer Mans- went for a walk across Maclean to find this. Too many red backs, critters and long grass!!
We had a good look- but no findy!

Found with Roostaman while visiting the area.
Thanks for the cache.

**# 21217** Found on our 2018 mega adventure to ACT, NSW, QLD and beyond.
Another perfect Autumn day for a trek around the Point for a few more caches.
Not many muggles around today and a few more finds.
This one was not far fro our camp, and a good safe hide too.
Thanks for the cache Mr_Willmore,
***Roostaman***

Muggle right near GZ

Great cammo. Found while the girls were shopping. Tftc

We had a fun day out caching with some new friends we met in Brooms Head. Hopefully we have passed the caching bug onto them. This was one of the caches we targetted and found. We very much enjoyed the scenery and had a wonderful lunch at the Lawrence Pub. Thankyou Computer Man's for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area

Decided to stop in Maclean for lunch on the way to the Gold Coast.
I convinced the family to grab 1 cache on the way in, which also turned out to be my only cache this entire trip because they kept stopping in cacheless areas!

So I savoured this cache and was keen to make the find.

Drove through the grounds and started the search at GZ. I approached from the wrong angle so didn't spot the cache for a while and was searching other locations that matched up with the satellite view. I finally decided to increase / change my search perspective and it was a very quick find after that. Funnily enough there is an identical cache with the same camo back in Canberra, and it was one of my earliest finds!

TFTC Computer Man's!

Very sneaky, good point. TFTC

Cannot believe I didn't spot it on approach. Title says it all. TFTC.

Very clever had us searching for a while
Butt gotcha

GPS had us searching in all directions until it settled.
A very aptly named cache found with The X-Trailers and The Mercs1.
TFTC

Great camping area at Showgrounds
Found after a short search
Very well hidden or should I say very well said Butt Off
Tftc
Log sheet is full
Tftc

Found it

Great cache. Happy to have dragged it back into existence.
TFTC computer man's.
Great hide, log ok

TFTC, quick park and grab, literally parked 3 metres from the cache, the cache name made for a very quick find, have a F.P for ingenuity.

Nice hide! Took me 5 minutes.
Note the log is NOT full- just turn the page over!

TFTC

We had seen Maclean from across the river at Ashby, and called in here on the way home to find the previous caravan and dogs at GZ had left. In the rain, we drove very close to the cache and my guess as to its location proved to be correct. I logged in the car but had problems finding a space as the log is totally full. We then drove off very carefully as the grass and mud were already very slippery. Thanks Computer Man's for a good hide.

We drove nearly to GZ where a van was parked and several working dogs were tied up under the shelter. Feeling it was unwise to antagonise the dogs or their owner, we headed off. If the van moves later in the week we will try again.

Love this one. I attempted to find it at twilight last night and only succeeded in acquiring more mossie bites and seeing the bats flying above. This morning told a different story. . I wrote on the back of the bigger page. Tftc

Log is full and needs to be replaced, sooner rather than later.

Had some troubles getting GZ and actually never got it. We must have scared away every single spider, high and low until reading the cache description once agian. Then we knew where it was. Not much spaceleft to sign, but managed to fit in a date a signature.

We had spent a few days in Yamba and decided to pick up a few caches around Maclean on the way home. This was the first for the day. Bats!!! We hate bats!!! We were going to walk down to the cache from the top carpark but drove down instead to avoid walking under the bats. Near GZ we were greeted by the sound of bagpipes. What a nice welcome. At GZ we managed to make a quick find. TFTC. A favourite point from us.

Took 5 people find that for 25 mins and gotcha awesome tricky! TFTC

Tftc,
My only cache today we have camped here for the first tme.
Very clever. I was searching every where else with a different concept of butt.
After a short time searching, Nana Nel asked for the pen. Now why would she need a pen. Yes she found it.
Log is full, visited trackables.

After setting up camp for the night decided on finding this one this afternoon. Arrived at GZ checked everything possible, than I extended my search and saw something that was obvious and yes that was it. Signed and replaced. Thanks to Computer Man's.

Great cache, thought it was obvious when at gz

That's a clever hide. Thanks.

Great hide, well done TFTC . Geo partner had this one before I even arrived at GZ

Lol. Great hide loved it. TFTC TNLN

I love these showgrounds and always enjoyed competeing here. TFTC

Awesome cache. Thanks computer man. Very clever.

Great clue

Excellent hide, obvious but not. I almost gave up but now wonder why.
Tyftc

Found at 10:07 AM GAFF1.
We were camped just 100 metres away at the showgrounds so in the morning we started our caching adventure by heading over to the sheds, keen to find out why this cache was a D of 3.0. We actually started searching where the cache was located straight away, but not knowing what we were looking for we started to drift as our GPSr said to go to the next shed where there were lots of possible hiding spots. After a minute or two we were back at the original location and a scan of the area at a different level suddenly made the cache name click and - voila! A nice tricky hide found [^]
Thanks Computer Man's.

Found on tour of the area . Loved it so am giving it a favourite.
TFTC

Tftf...

Our first find here maclean .
Hope to find a few more.
Greetings from adelaide
Tftc

Found it with bikesu . Tftc

Staying here for two nights and grabbed the smilie. Tftc

Nice one TFTC !

Arrived this morning and it appeared pony club was on so we decided to go do some other caches and come back later. When we arrived in the afternoon we got a pleasant surprise to hear the muggles playing their bag pipes. So, whilst we were searching we had bag pipes playing for us.

Followed the co ordinates and looked high and low and nothing, read some logs to see if that would help next minute Mr Mystery Sleuth had the cache in hand, lucky he was there or it would have been a DNF.

This one gets a favourite point for us as it is a cleaver hide.

TFTC

After approaching this from the wrong end (a theme for today) we finally found our way to the 'right' side of the fence.

To the sounds of a passionate bagpipe player, we searched high and low, close to the fence line, all over the structure and had even started looking under various things and just as we were to give up - darkness sees it. A great 'aha moment' and the cache was laid bare.

A bit clever so a fave point coming your way. T4TC Computer Man's.

I can understand the possible difficulty of this cache but we very quickly found it and signed the log. Found with Maggs2005, TheGeoSnake, Eminoz04 and Raynersinoz. TFTC

Found with Maggs2005, CachingPikahcu, Eminoz04 and Ranyersinoz. We had no idea of what the cache could be. Ranyersinoz's GPS and going in a different direction than Maggs2005's GPS, while we were still confirming where the GZ was Maggs2005 called "Found It!!". This is a clever hide and I have never seen anything like this before. We signed the log and replaced exactly as found so not to ruin the camouflage. Thanks Computer Man's for this cache, this interesting hide and our little adventure today which was made up of three of your caches!!

Found with TheGeoSnake, CachingPikachu, Raynersinoz and Maggs2005. Very clever hide, everyone that went thought it awesome. TFTC Computer Man's.

Today it was time to drive home from my Gold Coast holiday I had organised to leave nice and early (0430hrs) and get on the road to grab a number of caches along the way. I managed to grab 38 caches today. A normal person would travel from the GC to Canberra in ~12.5-13hours, not this geocacher. I finally got home 20.5 hours after I started

Apologies for the generic logs, I visited some lovely locations today and took some pretty cool picts (which ill attach to a few of the logs).

Thanks Computer Man's for the placement of this cache[^]

Found with CachingPikachu, TheGeoSnake, RaynersinOz and EminOz04. Enjoying some caching in the area while staying in Yamba. The geokids loved the name of this one, and the hint helped with the find. First hide of this type I've seen. Thanks for the fun.

Out caching with Maggs2005, Eminoz04, CachingPikachu and TheGeoSnake. Before we got to this cache, there was much speculation by the younger cachers as to what and where Butt off!!! would be. I parked the car in a nice shady spot and we started the search. My phone GPS had me headed in a slightly different direction and I soon heard the call, "Found it!". I turned around and Maggs2005 was holding a very clever cache. Really sneaky and a very apt cache name . TFTC Computer Man's, you've brought us on a lovely adventure today

Good cache, great clue. Thanks Computer Man's

TFTC

Thanks for this one I love the simple ones that aren't nanos

A good hide TFTC

Thanks for easy find

Found with team meow 22nd November

Busy around the showground today but fairly quiet in this area. A very tricky hide. TFTC.

TFTC - nice hide.

Wowee! That's a tricky one, but we found it!! Hooray. Hubby said it's one of his faves!

Needs a new log please. No more names can fit.

The bf went to this one this morning. He said he could barely fit the name on it. Needs new log please.

Log has been replaced.

Tftc

Needs a new log

Now this surely a ve y clever cache. To

Now that was a Good morning one.On our travels around Australia doing a few caches on the way. Thanks for the cache.

Yeah found it good cache signed and replaced tftc

Sneaky TFTC log is full squeezed our name in.

Thanks for the cach! 114 found with Brad1987 & Batdos Log is full basically wrote over someone sorry

Quick find with summerr123 and batdos. Thanks for the cache.

Very clever hide. I did have a slight problem, being vertically challenged, but kitchen tongs come in handy. Everything in my van has to have more than one use, have found a good 2nd use for these. TFTC

The log is full, needs replacing

Found this morning before packing up the caravan and heading south. Saw the cache, likened it to the name of the cache, but still tried to look for something else...don't know what we expected to find.

Geo hub found the cache, I knew I had seen it..... Clever hide Computer Man's

Wombat the Anthus laptop Geocoin visited, as did Runciple's Grasshopper, a tassie trekkers pathtag, a sweet - sour pathtag, a grannysmith path tag, a geo achievement 500 caches award, an f14 Tomcat, a scotch and soda, a monkey and a tick tag - oh, and a bundle of keyrings that I have collected since caching in WA in August 2013 (current count is 24)

Looked for this 2 days ago without success. Coming back today approached from a different direction and different mind set and found as we walked in. Another favourite vote.

Out and about in the area today with an old friend DanteMc for a little caching and catchup.
We spent most of the day around the region and had lunch at Yamba.
Then we made our way back to northern NSW.
Thanks to all CO's for some great caches, a couple of DNF's, a couple that seem to be missing but a great day overall. Almost 30 finds in total.
We searched, we looked, we scratched our heads, we ummed, we ahhed and finally DanteMc made the find, VERY CLEVER. A fav point from me.
Thanks for the cache.

Awesome camo love it tftc
