Passed through Kempsey on my way up the coast and was happy to find that there was a cache 10m from where we decided to have a picnic lunch.

99% sure I found where the cache should be, only a few meters from the GZ coordinates… spent nearly 30 mins looking underneath and from different angles with no luck Sad

Regardless I still got a nice view of the bridge and river. Will take another look on my next visit Smile

A break in the wet weather today meant a chance to go caching. Doing the new AL in Kempsey and found this cache nearby. I had searched for this cache before but at midday on a weekday there were too many muggles around. Nice and quiet today to make a quick find! River is pretty high today and base of trees are under water. Thanks Coongoola

Heading north and stopped for while so headed to this one. I was using my phone today and had a bit of bouncing about near GZ. Headed for the obvious spot and a short search and the cache was in hand.

Unrolled the log and thought I had a first to find as the log sheet was clean. Signed in the first spot and returned cache as found.

Found 27/1/2020 with JessYoung96 after lunch, on our trip back to Coffs Harbour from Port Macquarie.

Nice view of the river from here, we watch some geese float by in a single line and some people getting pulled around on a floatey by a speed boat.

Easy find but good hunt.

I wasn't having much luck with the caches in town so this was a nice spot to sit and work out what to do and get the first smiley of the day on the screen.
The cache was quickly located, signed and returned.

Decision time..... Go back North to the Tamban and Fruit & Nut trails or go south and chase random caches.

#5541. @10:48.

One of few caches found in Kempsey area. We're travelling in a motorhome and are staying at the Kempsey Tourist Village. We were lucky to find a spot overnight, quite hard this time of year we've noticed...
While the better half was roaming the shops I got about half an hour for myself. How spend it better?
Easy find on this hot day.
Thanks for the hide and Greetings from Sweden!

#8060 - 10:20; Day four of the 2018 Oz GeoMuster Mega mission with Sol de lune and the plan for the day was to pack up camp after a good night's sleep in Taree and head for Ballina, caching along the way. The main focus for today was GCA caches, but we stopped off to collect this cache as we passed through Kempsey. An easy find once at GZ, having collected another on the other side of the bridge on our way into town. TFTC coongoola Smile
