The spiders have called this one home! Bringing a taller person like Portstevo is very handy, tftc!
In the area this weekend for a wedding. Today was out day to explore and find some caches.Cheers

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. 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.
fairly easy find, espically as there are only two houses around. always have driven past here back on the old highway but today was the first time i’d been in here. thanks
While based just out of Bellingen we explored this location and were able to find your cache. Nicely done. The scenery around here really is superb. Thankyou Nudge74 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area
Ducked in to grab this one and what a great little suburb with amusing silver statues,this would be a nice place to live.TFTC
While doing the Forgotten Highway we just had to go and collect this lonely one. Some lovely looking homes in here. Thanks Nudge74.
so how on earth did you find this place. Making a last minute run to get that blasted turtle. Thank goodness for all the new caches. 3480 2:56:00 PM Nudge74 without cachers like you we would have no game. Thank you. TNLN SL
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.

Found with Key_Tat and Viper_101... after a bit of confusion we soon had cache in hand. Co-ods had us on wrong side of the road. TFTC
Found on our reconnaissance for my year 12 field trip in a few weeks - with aiden04. TFTC Nudge74 ya big spunk xxxx
P.s nudge74 replaced log today after I found it!

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
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.
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, nice estate, the cache won't be lonely much longer, great blocks of land for sale here and some big houses already built.
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 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 Nudge74 for the placement of this cache[^]

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
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.
Found on our visit to nimbus can heads. Thanks for the cache. Andrew, maryan and Lucy.
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!!

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.
It is certainly a strange place
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
A nice quiet, and muggle free place to search for a cache in the middle of the bushland

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.

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
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
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

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
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.
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 .
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.
