The container was lacking a lid, so I replaced it with a camo pill bottle which fits in the hiding spot.

Funny how the selling point of rural estates is trees, then they cut them all down for houses. Sad It appears this one is a BYO tank... nice to see tanks in vogue again. Found the cache and drove the circuit of the lonely place. TFTC Nudge74.

no lid on container but with this placement not particularly a problem at present. the block across the road has been sold which might cause some issues once its occupied. loved all the sculptures in this estate. thanks for bringing us into here.

We are heading North to Dorrigo for a few days, grabbing caches along the way.

What a lovely estate, not so lonely anymore. A nice quick find even though the coords had us on the other side of the road.
Thanks for the cache

Checked on cache today, all good here, even a muggle came to see what i was doing
 
21-Oct-17
Not quite so lonely anymore - great big plots here with some really nice houses. For some reason the coords had us on the wrong side of the road until we read previous logs and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC Nudge74 Smile

Crocosaurus noted, with some chagrin (expecting to be the 'finder' in this location) that 160cm Cleardream did not require additional height assistance to recover this cache. Note log is full and needs replacing, but we didn't have anything to replace it with.
 
13-Aug-17
TFTC happy to log our 50th find in this lovely part of the world.
 
27-Jul-17
It wasn't that lonely the day we found this one. Lots of gardening type clean up going on, and a bloke sitting on his esky having a drink about 10 metres away from us looking directly at where the cache was hidden. No way to be stealthy, but he didn't seem to be interested in us at all. Maybe interest is growing in the area?

TFTC a very quiet place at the moment. Nice quick find.

01-Sep-16
TFTC, nice estate, the cache won't be lonely much longer, great blocks of land for sale here and some big houses already built.
 
07-May-16
A quick park and grab today. Didn't even pass any muggles on the way in, so we didn't have to worry about being stealthy.

Today it was time to drive home from my Gold Coast holiday SadTwistedSad 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 SurprisedSurprised

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 Nudge74 for the placement of this cache[^]Big Grin

Driving down to Nambucca from Coffs for a meeting. I was running ahead of time so decided to call in and have a look at this place plus look for this cache. Quick find. No wasps about. TFTC
 
13-Mar-16
I've been going to come in for ages seeing it looks flash in the middle of nowhere. No wasps today. Tftc

An easy find but beware as paper wasps have taken up residence near the cache, as one of my sons unfortunately found out the hard way.

(August 2nd) yep, definitely a lonely place... TFTC
 
05-Aug-15
It is certainly an estate that really hasn't taken off.

Very lonely place that's for sure . TFTC
 
13-Jun-15
I decided to go for a bit of a drive South from Sawtell in search of an Earthcache. Along the way I found the area.

I wasn't lonely at the GZ as some kangaroos decided to check out what I was up to. It doesn't seem like they see many people (or buses) around here.

Cool area to explore. The sculptures are certainly worth checking out so I had to grab a photo before leaving.

Thanks for the cache Nudge74. Cheers!!
 
07-Jun-15
These lots are certainly selling slowly. Although there are a few constructions happening. Eventually the GZ will be surrounded by houses whereas now there are none. TFTC.
 
24-May-15
It is certainly a strange place Razz
Middle of the bush, tucked away twixt noisy highway and noisy railway.
Weird bits of sculpture scattered around ??
Nowhere near the surf !!
Or shops, or public transport ...
... oh wait a second.

Actually I think it might be a very long wait before any public transport turns up here Smile

A nice quiet, and muggle free place to search for a cache in the middle of the bushland Big Grin

TFTC
 
02-May-15
I decided to grab a cache between the rain showers as part of the Geocaching's 15 Year Anniversary.

At GZ there was not a soul about. All I could hear was the ocean and the frogs while the kangaroos kept a close eye on me. It's a pretty spot and definitely a mystery as to why so many blocks remain.

Thanks for bringing me here. T4TC.
 
17-Apr-15
Woop woop!!! Nice sculptures!!!
 
17-Apr-15
Holiday time!!
 
11-Apr-15
On our way to Sydney and caching of course. What a gorgeous estate. We saw koalas and kangaroos!

Swellerfungus, Crookedpete and I hit the road to cache our way from Brisbane to Gloucester NSW and back, picking up some specific caches along the way. On the homeward leg now and we stopped of here to make a find to help my travelling companions complete a distance challenge they are working towards. It wasn't a completely lonely place today as we disturbed a small group of kangaroos grazing nearby to GZ. They promptly moved on and we located the cache in no time. TFTC
 
15-Mar-15
Final day of a weekend road trip with SeffnJarah and Swellerfungus.

And what a busy weekend it was too! The tally board included a few scratches, 11 hours sleep, 1760 kms driving, a dozen eggs, a couple of kilograms of bacon, 73 finds (including 1 event, 2 souvenirs, 2 letterboxes, 3 earthcaches, 4 completed challenge caches, 3 T5's) and a completed DT grid. Best of all, there was whole bellyful of laughs and lots of good humoured banter.

No problems here - the kangaroos are helping with the loneliness.

Thanks for the cache, Nudge 74

Out and about with CrookedPete and seffnjarrah as we head south for a caching weekend of high difficulty and terrain ratings, as well as a run to Taree to grab the 1.9/1.9 D/T rating challenge. We also need some caches for another challenge that requires a cache hidden every 10klms from home. Both CP and I needed a lot to complete the challenge, and this one fitted the bill nicely.
An unusual place to be sure. Cache found quickly by the team.
Thanks Nudge74

Apart from the three kangaroos watching us there was no one else to be found. TFTC
 
23-Oct-14
Stopped by on my way from Macksville to Coffs Harbour. Only 3 homes in this sub division and about 1,000 kangaroos.
A quick find.

Thanks
 
14-Oct-14
Gotcha !!! TFTC We waited but the bus didn't come ???
 
08-Oct-14
Drove into this new sub division, 2 completed houses & 1 under construction. Quiet a few amazing sculptures dotted along the road.
We drove the circuit & pulled up outside of GZ. The cache was quickly found, logged & on our way again.
Thanks Nudge74 for placing this cache.

Who'd of expected a bus stop cache all the way out here? Not too many busses stopping here I wouldn't think.
Thanks Nudge74, Cheers from Browngang

Always wanted to come in here for a look and what better reason than to find a cache! Lots of vacant land, one house, it sure is a lonely place. TFTC Nudge

Quick find tftc

After seeing my brand new grand nephew at Valla Beach I decided to hunt for this one. I noticed one house built in this beautiful place. More blocks left to build. Love the sound of the beach in the background. TFTC.

It sure is a lonely place - found after attending Anzac Day at Urunga. TFTC.

Very lonely & overpriced estate. Tftc
 
30-Jan-14
Found at 12:24 PM GAFF3 - we wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for the hint as the GPSr took us to the other side of the road Sad.
When we arrived there was a muggle waiting in the shelter with his truck parked just up the road . We asked him why this place hasn't taken off, but he wasn't sure.
Thanks Nudge74.
 
08-Jan-14
A quick find on the way back home from Urunga
Thanks for the hunt N74
