By coin jumpers and friends on 24-Jan-13. Waypoint GC44W36

TFTC nice easy find after our trip to the top of the mountain.

TFTC As I approached GZ, I saw a berroca tube on the ground...I picked it up, and sure enough it was the cache, containing a couple of pieces of a very wet log.I went back to the car and found some dry paper for a new log, and replaced the tube at the coordinates.

Ended up near this one following the AL. Nice quick find in the obvious spot.

Thanks for binging me here. Did an Aussie bird count at the same time. Now off to music festival

Tftc

The local AL brought me up here. Imagine my surprise to see someone from my home town was also here. He was a muggle and not to be seen. Just his car. After answering the AL, I noticed this cache and headed off to grab it. It was found but the log is just a mush and completely impossible to sign. It definitely needs replacing. Photo attached. Thanks anyway coin jumpers and friends

Pulled up to some beautifully marked trees and followed with a nice quick find although log was soaked so couldn't sign...TFTC

Cache hide has been overrun with a huge ants nest, wear protective covering when retrieving!

Found the foot easily enough howeverThe toes were very wet so couldnt sign

Found with KKZ69, however log was wet and cache dripping water so couldnt sign

Very wet. Found lid and put back on..needs new log book.

Thanks, found with whereizej

Nice find, log was wet so didnt sign. Found with EjsDad they put a picture for proof.

A quick little stop while doing the ADLAB, on our way heading north

Bit of a backtrack to get this one, as i dont think i will be able to get it on the way back. I think there may be 2 containers here, as the logs i read in the cache were from 2014. No time to look, and CO does not play anymore,. so "Oh Well!"

Nice easy find on our way up the mountain. TFTC

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I are visiting from NZ we are currently doing a road-trip from Sydney to the Gold Coast we visited a place called Bulahdelah and had to do a cache parked up nearby & wandered over the bridge to complete the Ad Lab almost right on top of the cache so the cache was easily found, logbook completed & then replaced cache back into position pleased to add a 'smiley face' to the tally TFTC ... TN:LN:SL #5,229 for Us!

First find on our road trip. An out of town discovery that we will hato come back to.

TFTC smile19991 Out and about on a Sunny day with muggle twin sister on our way to Wollongong in a round about way picking up LGAs on the way GS1947 on small logs found and replaced Thank you coin jumpers and friends for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Found it. Was hard as it had been moved.

Found by Mary and David at 13:05. Back at the car park. A quick search and we had the cache in hand. Beware the mosquitoes. Log damp, but we could sign ok. Our thanks to coin jumpers.

Quick find as camo was displaced. Log slightly damp as lid was not fully pressed on. TFTC

Tftc!

Easy one

On the road again heading north for the third instalment of our caching holiday had us enjoying the blue skies and sunshine.This was a bonus find while finalising the nearby labcache.Thanks coin jumpers for the placement.

Found with Cosmonaut97 and Firebatman88 on our way back to QLD

Found this one whilst completing the AL. Thanks for bringing us here and also for placing s cache. TFTC.

Great spot. With Terence TB. TFTC

Great hint and directions. Left a fresh note pad page. Will bush walk next time TFTC

On our way along the East Coast we stopped here in Bulahdelah for the night. There was still enough time to look for this cache. After I found it I did the hike that started here. Very recommendable.Thanks for the cacheflorinifi

Abit hard

TFTC

Passing through on our way from Tea Gardens to Forster, we made a quick detour through town. Did a couple of ALs and another cache before making our way to the back of town. Interesting history here near Gz. Thanks. The tree carving at the start of the path is pretty cool.

A trip to cache around the mid north coast of NSW via the southern tablelands. TFTC.I did way more bush bashing than I needed to. I also managed to bring the caravan here. Lucky no one else was parked here. Hate to try and reverse the bridge.

Quick find. Have driven by at 110km/h so many times, but today we stopped for the Lab.Cheers

Tftc

Find#1707A nice easy find at GZ once I thought more about the hint. Cache and log in good condition. TFTC

Well my trip up to QOGM has officially started and I’m taking the very indirect route up to outback QLD to get there.
It has been a while since I have driven up the Hume to Sydney and some people say that it is a very boring drive but I enjoy it.
So after spending a couple of nights in Lane Cove it was time to hit the M1 and A1 and head north to the last of my target caches The Frying Pan.
After finding the Pan and a little celebration I was then in googles hands to get me to up to Taree for the night.
One of the small towns that I went through to get to Taree.
After having a nice lunch in the pub and then completing the Ad Lab I ended up here.
So after a quick search I soon had it in hand.
No time for the walk and it looked very much all up hill.

Thanks coin jumpers and friends TFTC.

Found with O319 as we headed south towards home.

Quick find with SJG66 TFTC

TFTC a quick find along our journey.

TFTC! Would be keen to try the hike one day... But definitely not today.

Boy a bit of a bush bash. TFTC

Nice quick find before starting the climb TFTC

A quick find here after completing the lab cache. Didn’t have time to wander further into the forest today

Not the huge and most obvious stump Found under a bit of wood.

TFTC cj and friends

Found with Champers71 on an explore of the local area. Tftc

Found with cullum68 On our way back from the south coast needed a cache so it was this one thanks for the cache

Found on my way home from south coast after attending my daughters wedding. Thankyou for your contribution to geo caching .

TFTC

Found while driving back to the Blue Mountains and completing the nearby adventure lab. TFTC

Trying cache in the forest wearing a dress and sandals in the rain isn't as fun as it sounds... but thankfully a quick find. Tftc

Maybe Alun is small because he needs to take his vitamins! Doing the AL in the area and stopped for this one. Will return for the hike another day when it’s not so hot TFTC

We needed a few finds on todays date.

A quick detour on the way home to do an AL. Unfortunately I didn’t have time for the Bonus, so I grabbed this near my last waypoint.

TFTC.

TFTC out on a rainy day, just Tara and Dad.

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

Found it TFTC

We were here with Banj5150 and barefootjeff, for the caches up the hill, so parked several metres from this cache. barefootjeff found the replacement cache after a search in the area, the hint might not help as much now.... TFTC

Out for some Australia Day caching with Banj5150, lee737, Samuel737 and Oliver737. AFter doing Rainforest Railway we headed back into Bulahdelah to try the Alum Mountain caches. Once parked, we spied what looked like the likely hiding place but upon arrival all our GPSrs reckoned we were still some ten metres away. Skirting around the undergrowth, I spotted something suspicious and soon had the cache, well a cache, in hand. The log sheet was pretty full but we managed to fit all our names in up in one corner.

Thanks for this cache as a prelude to the adventure ahead. Now up the hill for some bats and fairies.

Found today with Banj and BFJ and Dad and Samuel - TFTC!!

Happy Australia Day!

After pitching the idea to some friends of coming up to Bulahdelah and doing some walking caches, we all headed off up and did a few!

While over here to start the climb up the mountain, we decided to grab this along the way. After checking where a previous finder found it, and it not being there, we widened our search and found it not too far away!

TFTC coin jumpers and friends

It's possible it fell through

Did not see it there

Quick stop to stretch our legs. I was hoping for the longer walk but I've run out of time.
TFTC

Nice one.
TFTC

TFTC. In Bulahdelah heading south for Christmas and family things. Stopped at the Bowling Club for the night. As it was still early drove the car to the is GZ before continuing up the mountain to find ToothFairy.

TFTC really nice hide and good camo. Well done

After making our way back down the mountain we began our search and the heavens decided to open. After waiting out the short shower under the nearby shelter we had a second crack and soon had cache in hand, which was completely exposed in the open. Log was surprisingly dry and we placed it back in a safer spot.
Thanks for the cache coin jumpers and friends

Quick find as was laying on the ground in the open. Signed and replaced at GZ to the hint

Found 1:37 pm with fiancé. Visiting Port Macquarie and on our way there stop for cache or two along the way. Had me stumped for a while but coords ended up being good to ok. Hint more like wood though.
Signed the log and returned cache to its hiding spot. I had hoped to add a TB but not large enough.
Thanks for the cache.
NB finally getting around to logging.

This took us quite some time to work out how to get to where we needed to be. Then after doing some serious bushbashing, we eventually returned to the vehicle and soon after found the cache. Thank you for placing this for us to find.

We needed this cache for a challenge that we are attempting but trying to work out how to get to it with our maps proved interesting. When we eventually found our way, we ventured far too far astray. When we were about to give up, we returned to the car and quickly found the cache. Thank you for the cache and bringing us here.

A few caches on my way north on another traveling day.
I didn't have enough time today to do the other caches and the walk, but now I know where they are, I will return.
In the mean time, I grabbed this cache (and the TB inside)
Thanks, Robmc.

Found at lunchtime while waiting for my lunch. The cache was easily found exactly where the GPSR was pointing. My TBs visited and I dropped off a pirate Geocoin.

Found this one with Ryan Girls and our muggle mate Dutchess of Sassy Town. Cache and clue don’t really match but we found it none the less. Good hunting between rain storms. TFTC.

Ventured out on this rainy day with muggle duchess of sassy town and red back 12 to collect a few caches. Managed to find this one before the down pour.

After a search around where the coordinates were pointing me I ventured into the bush and found it in the way out, the walk nearby looks amazing and I would like to do it someday. Will settle for the cache only today TFTC

Stopped for coffee love this location just beautiful

Found it just before heading up the mountain.

Found, but no pen to log. Needs painting or camouflage to hide, looks lime rubbish and was nearly removed for bin until checking inside and saw log

I went with Fitzy_1965 for a long weekend drive up the east coast to Port Macquarie caching along the way and visiting several new towns and villages. A highlight was a get together with Pprass & Kat after a few mega 4wd climbs in the afternoon. Day 1 dawned and Fitzy & I headed north. We did not stop till well after Sydney. With the new Tunnel the Pennant Hills road time sink goes to 6mins for $7.00. We did an Adventure Lab in Raymond Tce bumping into Big Matt & Shell nearby, then continued North to Taree for the evening.

Thanks for the cache coin jumpers

**Albida**

21,903. Found during an epic trip up to Port Macquarie and back with albida33 over a 4 day weekend. Often signed as F65 A33.

With a loose plan on paper we headed off early this morning from Goulburn and aimed to be around Taree for our first night in the swags. Drove straight through to north of Sydney (including through the new NorthConnex tunnel - awesome not having to do Pennant Hills Road ever again). Continuing up the highway this was the next find of the day. This was a pretty quick find once at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then headed off to the next one.

Thanks coin jumpers and friends !!

after following a few geotrails we soon spotted the replacement cache. thanks for bringing us here.

found the replacement cache pretty spot on coords
out with friends after a moving memorial tribute cache in foster

Searched and searched with 4 kids. Found the stump but nothing inside.

Great find after a long walk!

TFTC

Nice easy find after my walk down the hill. TFTC

Found with GrimRaider on a drive up the north coast of NSW. We wound our way along the powerlines track and made it to GZ. This gave his new CX5 a test on the muddy tracks but then found bitumen for the way out haha

Condition Report:. Replaced container after giving the area a thorough search following recent DNFs
Log Status:. Lots of room

Thanks for hiding this cache coin jumpers
