Beware of the Trolls Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia
By Wombat-1 on 08-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4RQK1

Muggled too many times

I’m claiming that!

Found lid. Didn’t have a spare container with us unfortunately. Some tlc from owner required please!

Wire connected to tube

Found lid

All that remains

TFTC

As with previous logs, only the lid remains.
Unfortunately I didn't have any spare containers or logs with me today.

Thanks awesome little spot

Kinda found it. Per other's, only lid remains. Needs maintenance. Photo taken.

Find #: 2,687
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Grey summer morning
Cache condition: Needs TLC

I was out jogging and passed by this point. It took a little while to figure out the hint - aha! As others have stated the majority of the container is missing, with only the lid now there, so I took a photo instead. TFTC

Only the lid remains …

TFTC a quick find along our journey. lid only

found the lid of the geocache in its usual spot but the other bit was gone

Very sneaky hide! Took us a while. Unfortunately cache has come apart, only the lid left and had nothing to replace. Have message owner. Lovely little dog walk to the shops though! TFTC.

Tricky little hide... nice!
As per prev log, log is soaked and needs replacing. Ants are building a nest around the cache so that added a little fun to retrieval... not
TFTC.

Found today on a small cache drive, had a fun time finding this cache!

With looming weather, we shot out for an afternoon cache run, heading south to Lighthouse Beach to start. We battled light showers on and off, and found 17 caches (some rippers too), without a DNF.
We had the right idea, but needed the hint to fine tune, before spotting the suspension system. Unfortunately, the log is wet and muddy, and needs to be replaced.... TFTC...

The logsheet needs replacing due to water ingress...

Nice idea

Pretty confident I know where it ought to be, but cannot find.

Found with littlemissleft and littlemisslonglegs

Nice hide and cache was soon found

Thanks for the cache

Found with Gazkersh and littlemisslonglegs. Great hide! Thanks for bringing us here

Awesome cache
Found with mum and dad TFTC

Thanks! Wow this is an amazing cache.

Great idea, nice walk, thanks

Very tricky hide.
Replaced the key ring as the old one had rusted out.

TFTC

Found 17/3/19 with JessYoung96. TFTC.

Clever hide. Found easily with the hint.

The little trolls found this one before I even got close. Nice cache!

TFTC

Found with 63Roos. Thanks

Great hide, thanks.

Log replaced with the help of Xmassong

Clever hiding spot, unfortunately didn't read the previous logs as I don't have a spare log and heading home tomorrow. Was unwriteable so definitely needs a new one. TFTC

A nice little stroll on a hot day and I had the cache in no time.

Needs new logbook. Anyone coming after me, please bring a piece of paper. The gum wrapper is falling apart.

For once we followed directions so didn’t get run over.
Nice hide but the log in soggy so can’t really write on it and we had no spare. TFTC

Found but the log was sopping. Too wet to sign

Found while out for a walk. After a few minutes of searching soon had cache in hand. Nicely hidden. Log still a gum wrapper. Soggy but able to sign thanks to my tank pen. Needs new log. Would have replaced but did not have any spares with me. SL. TFTC.

Needs maintainence. Needs log to be replaced.

Thanks to this cache, we discovered both a walking path we never knew existed, and another clever hide! Same as others, we found the log very wet, and still the gum wrapper replacement, but signed as best we could.

I hear your concerns about people crossing the busy roads.
But people are pretty stuoopid !!
Especially the young ones and the old ones ...
... well I guess that covers everyone

Behind the wheel of a car,
they behave like maniacs,
always in a hurry,
or just plain olde ignoring road rules

As pedestrians they walk along in the middle of the road,
expecting motorists to avoid them !! [:o]
There's a connection there somewhre
But the drongo's just don't seem to get it !!

Safely away from the traffic,
but not the trolls today,
I soon tracked down this little cache

This is the coolest cache containerwise I found so far. Log needs to be replaced. It’s a chewing gul wrapper now. Tftc!

We have travelled up from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Port Macquarie for our annual summer holiday, camping in our Jayco Swan Outback camper trailer at the Breakwall (Sundowner) Holiday Park. Today we went for a drive down to Lake Cathie and returned via Lighthouse Beach, collecting caches in the areas we passed through along the way. This was our 4th find of the day, and 75th find of the holiday.

Parked the geomobile in the Coles carpark, then followed the pathway down under the bridge and over to GZ. Quickly uncovered the hide and had CIH. There was no log in the cache container, so we signed a small piece of paper and popped it in, then replaced as found. TFTC Wombat-1.

Find #2166

Fluked a quick find on this one. No log in the container unfortunately. Otherwise in good nick. TFTC

Surprisingly had a quick find at GZ. Well hidden, cache and log in good shape. TFTC.

Another glorious sunny day for some Caching. Many thanks for bringing us here, we never knew this park existed. Something caught our eye and a quick grab was had at GZ. TNLN SL TFTC

We've been slowly traveling south from Coffs Harbour for the past few weeks, taking our time to explore the north coast of NSW. Even though we've driven past many of these lovely spots in the past we've always been on the move with somewhere else to get to. Now we're retired we have lots more time, and we're really enjoying exploring this lovely area. We're also picking up lots of great caches on our travels, certainly a great way to find local spots travellers often miss out on.
We managed to find a park in the nearby shopping area and headed off on the path to GZ. We are discovering more and more walking paths around town as we look for more caches. There certainly are lots of them.
No trolls under the bridge today as we walked under and while I waited for the GPSr to recover to home in on GZ Mrs SKI spotted a likely hiding place and soon had the cache in hand.

Awesome hide....well done....TFTC

Found it it was very cleaver

Found this while jumping in puddles and filling gumboots with water so after a squelch and swim realised the puddle jumping wasn't necessarily needed but having a almost 4yr old with me...well ...we had to

I am working on completing my Jasmer and needed a cache to fill a missing month from the Port macquarie area. Mr Minion suggested we make a weekend of it, so I thought I would look at completing a challenge as well. To find 25 unique difficulty/terrain combinations in a day. We set of from home at around 4am and finished around 6pm.This was number 20 of the day. we found a good place to park and walked through the tunnel. would never had guessed the tunnel was here. mr Minion made the find and we continued on. Thanks for the cache Wombat-1 tnln sl

Woohoo another find for my girls...Tilly, Tayah and Layla

So I was sitting at Bill and Di's logging some other caches that we grabbed today and this cache was just sitting there and it was so close. That's it, I am going for a walk. River and I took off to find it. My GPS was being a bit weird, but we knew which direction to go in. While i was still walking around trying to get the GPS to settle River yells he found it. Very cool hide.
TFTC!!!!

Geocaching with geo grandkids Lewi (2), Hamish (6) ,interested in the" echo" and drawings !!!! All aok with the cache !! Thanks Wombat-1

We cheered when we found it

Very simple, but extremely effective. Given me an idea about hiding my very own cache similar to this one near home in Kellyville down in Sydney. TFTC

Found it

What a great cache. Well hidden. Found it with Mitch1746

Great find with willbentley74

(July 5th) great container.. TFTC

TFTC nice cache container.

TFTC nice cache container.

Finally got around there today with my son on bikes!

This was the first day of our holiday in Port Macquarie. We were taking it easy after our long drive here and treated today mostly as a rest day, particularly given it was raining in the morning and we don't enjoy getting wet when we cache. As the weather began to clear up in the afternoon, we ventured out for a few finds.

Thank you for having placed the cache Wombat-1

Found this one with bobbies girl. We walked under the road from the shopping centre. Great hint and an easy find. TFTC

Found this one quite easily, great hide and clever hint. Back to the shopping centre now for a caffeine fix and on to the other caches nearby. Thanks for bringing me here.

Quick find on our way into town - T4TC

The first of the day out caching with MMH&M. Cool subway. Worried about the muggles on bikes having a rest in the shade in the subway, but turned out not to be a problem.

Came up for the Mid North Coast invasion events the weekend.
Car GPS in a spin again and got us nowhere so had to outsmart it. Got to GZ and soon found the cache, thanks to the hint. Nicely secured cache in a nice park. Shame about the graffiti. Thanks Wombat-1

Didn't think there looked to be too many hides in the troll department but the GPS said keep going. A good hint and hide with the necessary placement device that's so effective. TFTC Wombat-1.

Quick and easy find,TFTC
