Stumped on Waterfall Way Deer Vale, New South Wales, Australia
By groovydoo on 10-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4JE5G

Another mini road trip from Queensland. This time with one of my teen-muggle, so fewer geocaches this time. Bringing our geomobile home. Third day, heading west and south from Coffs Harbour.After a 7km scenic bush walk with a geocache find afterwards, lets do some PnG geofinds heading east. Taking it easy this afternoon so my teen can recover and relax. TFTC groovydoo.

TftcAvenged another I couldn't find as a newbie. This one was staring me in the face today.

Found 07.10.24

Found on an impromptu Easter road trip with CaptainVimes and little_miss_cacher. Thanks for the cache groovydoo

TFTC

Finished the trail and looked at the caches further along and decided due to the time we were not going to be able to get to do the Dorrigo caches, so we would pick up those along this road, up to as far as we had been before and then back towards town

Thanks groovydoo for the caches.

#7006 Day 3 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. A few showers at times today, but on the whole it was a very productive and interesting day. The highlight for me was the caches around Dorrigo. Quite a different feel to the coastal towns we have visited so far. We couldn't get far up "Waterfall Way" due to a landslide, but still managed to grab a lot today.


Thanks groovydoo

This was Dorrigo Day, as that was the area we concentrated on for caching with ilook4geo. This was one of the caches we found as we roamed the area. Each cache we found had its log signed with both names and was put back as it had been found before we moved on to continue the hunt. Thank you to groovydoo for adding to our caching fun for the day.

Enjoyed some caching around Dorrigo area with goingplaces2. Found a variety of caches and had some fun along the way. TFTC.

So many caches out here thank you Groovydoo I just dislodged an ant colony here.

The ants are building a nest inside. TFTC

Jumped out and went straight to the obvious spot which was incorrect. Looking, looking, ahhh there it is. Off we go, scramble up and retrieve. TFTC.

Geo hubby found geo with his geo eyes

Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment groovydoo

Found nearly to ebor..

Tftc. #34

Tijdens rondrit vanuit Coffs Harbour deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Found it .thanks for the hint.

I was on an Australia Day long weekend road trip with Pprime, Fangsoki and 1MinniMoo and we had targeted caches in the area which would help us to qualify for a number of challenges.

A short detour off the road and a quick find..

TFTC groovydoo

With Fangsoki, Crew153 and 1MinnieMoo we have hit the Dorrigo Plateau for the weekend - having arrived yesterday we set out for day two through the early morning fog, next up here. We brought the girl for a reason it seems as she shone in the finding department today.

Thanks groovydoo for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #7467}*

26/1/20 Find #3335
A road trip long weekend with Fangsoki, PPrime and Crew153, staying in Dorrigo. Tried the obvious fence post then saw the hide just after. A couple of steps later and cache was in hand.
Thanks for the cache groovydoo.

1MinnieMoo, Pprime, Crew 153, and I were in the Dorrigo / Ebor Area grabbing caches. This was our second day while in the area.

We enjoyed all of the caches in beautiful area - and appreciate the effort the cache owners put into the caches.

TFTC groovydoo

We're claiming the find, because we could see the cache, but owner maintenance is needed, groovydoo. It's dropped right to the bottom, and we could not get it out. Note to self: pack coat hanger into geokit!

Got the camper fitted in Woolgoolga, now heading home. First stop Uralla.
Bettyboo3747 and I cached across Dorrigo, Ebor, and had lunch in Wollomombi (great burger!)
Still very smoky in the area , but a lovely day for caching.

Sent my accomplice to get this one while I turned the geo-chariot around.
Thanks, Robmc.

#16803. The first day travelling with the new campervan between Emerald Beach and Uralla. Such a smoky trip and it is so sad to see the countryside up here - either fire ravaged or drought ravaged.

We have driven past so many caches along here today - how frustrating. Finally Rob stopped and I found and signed the log whilst he turned the vehicle around so we could continue towards Ebor. Will have to come back and do more.

Thanks groovydoo

Found while on a geocaching holiday with tmann421.
Enjoyed the trip around and all the great hides.
Stamped TM/WW NZ, or if in pen our full names

Another very nice find today with woolwood9.
*Thanks for helping make our tour around fun!*
Stamped logs as TM/WW NZ or our full user names or tm421/ww9 in pen.

Very good cache. Been unfound for quite a while!

A nice easy find TFTC

Good thing Mr Treasuretraka is fearless and has long arms.
TFTC

Damn, needed a torch to get unstumped for this one, easy find then.

Caching around the Dorrigo area today
TFTC

Found out on a caching day around dorrigo and surrounds, with the main aims the bald hill and deer vale road caches. sorry for the generic logs and thanks for the cache.

A find for master Finnius. Team King and Queen Kerr

Staying around Dorrigo for a few days, camping and geocaching.

Quick find in the likely spot.
Thanks for the cache

We have been staying at the free camp in Thora with our caravan and using it as a base to cache around Bellingen and Dorrigo to as far as Ebor. Fabulous countryside and we have loved the creative hides. Thankyou groovydoo for placement of this cache and sharing this special spot with us.

Found with my Dad and little brother on our Australia Day weekend adventure....

Find #1843
Continuing our day caching Dorrigo - Deer Vale - Bald Hills. We're back onto the highway now, the tranquility of the Deer Vale Loop smashed by tailgaters galore!
It was nice to see this cache was accessed from a quiet side road, and a nice new log sheet to boot. TFTC groovydoo

New container, new logbook. removed rusty pencil sharpner

This cache was in very poor condition. Looks like water has been getting in. Log was soaked and pencil sharpener has gone rusty. Could use some TLC. Thanks groovydoo

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

Found on a rainy caching day tftc

A little slippery here today with the recent rain. Quick stop on my way to Kempsey
Thanks

Turned into the side road only to find a car half blocking the road - the driver had settled down with a pillow for a sleep!!! She didn't even notice us there, so it was a quick easy find. TFTC groovydoo

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm geocaching,
or playing cricket today !! [:o]

So many stumpings !!
I guess my team is winning

TFTC

Travelling north to QLD and decided on a change of scenery from the main highway so detoured for a country drive. I picked up a number of caches along the way and this was one of them.

After signing the log the cache was returned as found.

TFTC groovydoo

Found it!

Mrs. Herbz didn't like putting her hand in to grab this one, you never know what might be underneath! Anyway, there wasn't anything today. Log book a bit wet. Dried it out as best we could. TFTC.

Had to reach a loonngg way down into the deep dank dark wood for this one. A quick grab under the watchful eyes of whole herd of cattle across the road who were just watching us intently the whole time, then off again.

TFTC

A very short drive from the last stop and I think it was almost before I pulled up that I had spotted just where I would be taking a look for this cache.

Sure enough I was able to walk right over and make the find fairly quick. Took a little more look around as I was signing the log and soon enough had the cache back in place and off on my way.

TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Log is a bit wet, hard to sign.
Missed this one the other day.

On our way to Armidale a quick find. First of that type in Australia! About a hundred in Germany.

TFTC

Handy hide for a quick park and grab. Thanks groovydoo.

Today was the day to reach the magic 500. (Yes, it IS all about the numbers). Took the day off work and with geowife as driver and traffic warden, we set off towards Dorrigo. Couldnt stop in time for the first one (got it on way home) so Stumped was our first. Easy find. TFTC Heading east.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

A bit steep for me, but managed it, TFTC groovydoo

Found at 1:44 PM GAFF1. Ooooh - this was a tricky one. We stopped on the side of the road where there were double lines, so a quick dash and a quick find was in order. Thanks goodness the name of hte cache gave a good hint
Thanks groovydoo.

Thanks groovydoo

This is as far as I'm going today. Got to turn around and head back to be in Ebor at nightfall.

Thanks for the cache, groovydoo, TNLN.
