We headed out to check out Tia falls. A lovely spot only 1 other couple enjoying it. Stopped here as we returned to our caravan. Log is getting full, will need a replacement soon.
Thanks for putting this cache here.

Found while staying at Tia Falls campground. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
Up this way for a spot of work and passing by. Took a break and went for a cache hunt. Found the critter hidden by a little accumulation of wasp mud.
Day 52 of our southern trip.
Heading towards home but trecking south on the Oxley highway to the New England highway because of the floods.
Still picking up caches on the area as we travel around the area.
Travelling & Caching with RoddyC.
DNF for us today.

Day 52 of our southern trip. Travel home day 4. We should have been home by now but the Pacific Highway is cut twice by floodwaters, whice means we go South, then across to the New England Highway to get home to Logan.
We wasted too much time here, touty78. Perhaps another time.

Another easy park & grab in the beautiful country side.
Be careful of the baby bird in the nest within the rest area shelter.

Found with nissan65 on a day trip to Walcha. Thankyou for the cache and your contribution to geo caching
Found! If you need a hint, this one is harder to get if you're short, and it's the size of a small thimble
Found this little nano within 30 seconds of getting out of the car. Just happened to be in the right location facing the right way!! TFTC
8827 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1340.We searched for some time and the Mrs had gone back to sit in the vehicle to get away from the wind. baby persevered and finally got to SL Tnx touty78
This spot is ok but further up the road is an amazing spot to stop for a journey break. Aspley falls. Picked up an empty bottle of vodka some grot had left behind

Nice stop. We did not unravel the tape. Was not confident we could roll
It up tight enough.

No chance of fatigue today,
with a rest stop and a cache every 20k's or so along the way
And here by the Tia Maria,
another great rest stop,
and quick cache find [^]

Found with Tatt2squared and Viper_101... After a lot of searching, but not a long time searching... we soon had the cache, signed and returned. TFTC
With Tatt2squared and Key_Tat... A group effort, all of us checking the hidey spots...Found It...TFTC
Found in the company of Key_Tat and Viper_101....had a quick look around, found in the 2nd last spot we were looking. TFTC.
We popped out of the Mummel Gulf NP via the Panhandle Fire Trail and found this on the way back to Walcha. No pen so I took a photo. Thanks!
Found on the second lap... must have missed it the first time! Very wet and cold here today. TFTC
On the way to walcha. Quick find here after checking a couple of spots. Had to use an extraction tool to access log.
Thanks for the cache

Glad this didn't take too long as we were well and truly wet and cold. Found with staybe and co whilst on our wet and wild caching weekend. many thanks for the hide. tnln sl
Found with Ozglory on our weekend away caching with the plan to do the loop from Kempsey to Uralla to Armidale and back to Kempsey.. The weather was not our friend on this trip which meant some slight change in plans, but was still a great weekend away.
We were wet and cold so quickly located this cache, popped it back and headed on our way! Thanks for placing this cache touty78.

On a caching adventure to Uralla/Armidale/Hillgrove with pprass we set out to see some country side and some interesting caches.
Stopped here to stretch our legs and of course find the cache, nice rest stop actually. Quick find and off we go to the next cache.
Thanks for the cache torty78

Traveling from Port Macquarie to Walca i stopped at few locations along the way. This took longer than it should have to find. i was searching the correct spots but managed to miss it several times. Just as i was about to give up i checked them all again and managed to bump it. TFTC
We have stopped on previous occassions to rest here & also to look for this cache.
Today it was only a short search before we made our find. We had looked in the same spots as before but this time we struck it lucky.

TFTC with Weebindi. Collecting a few caches and stretching our legs on a well worn track for us!
Yay!! After no luck on a previous day, I had success today!! Had to move aside some spider webs but could do so from standing on the ground- not on the benches as I had previously thought. TFTC.
Spent a long time here and almost gave up, lacked the time and the patience to remove the tightly wedged log roll so took a pic for proof
Found on a quick stop while traveling back to Armidale from Kempsey. Took a little bit of searching but got there in the end. Tftc!
For a nano, this was a quick find. Thank goodness, as the wind was bitterly cold. TFTC - Docadoo 
With the cold snap that came through Azmate22 and I went for a drive to Walcha to see the snow and do some caching along the way! Our fourth attempt for the day and as we pulled into the rest stop it started snowing lightly!
Knowing it was a nano I was looking for I set to work straight away and within minutes I had cache in hand! Took a bit to get the log out but got it in the end! Signed and returned TFTC!!

TFTC!!Arrived onsite and found the previous people had started a little camp fire. We stoked it up in an attempt to get some warmth but the wind and snow kicked in. This was a quick easy cache to round up the day
Felt in this spot twice before locating the little cache..very cold...we are on our way again!
We had such a great time at the mega in Stanthorpe. Sadly it is now time to make our way towards Sydney, and back home to Canada. Picking up a few caches as we go.
Cache was well hidden and it took a bit of searching to come up with a smiley.
Thanks for the fun touty78!

Back again for the cache we couldn't find six months ago. We'd only just stopped when a convoy of bikes rode past and their accompanying vehicles pulled in. All very interesting but not ideal cache hunting conditions. But with one eye on them and the other on likely hidey holes we were able to grab it . . . and do the same again to return it. A tricky little hide to find, TFTC touty78.
Finally found after I had checked everything 3 times. How did I miss that each time? A little stretch to reach but all good. The spiders will need to rebuild all their webs again 
[Red]No luck for us today but I did have a car full of kids that just wanted to get going. One benefit was that we got out at the falls and managed to stretch the legs of the kids. It was a good walk with lots of water flowing today.
Thanks anyway touty78.[/Red]

Think I've had similar problems to Pprass but simply can't extract the cache to sign it.
Found on the way to the coast for a weekend of caching and camping TFTC touty
Found at 12:45 PM GAFF1. On our way home after a 6 week trip that encompassed most of central and south western NSW, we headed home down the Oxley and this was the only cache within 100 kms that we hadn't done. Last time we were here we couldn't find it and it was then confirmed that it had gone missing and was replaced.
Today we stopped for lunch and while it was being prepared, p-pprass went searching and once again it was tough going. It was eventually felt just with the finger tips, but could not be pulled out - the previous cache finder really did a good job [:(!]
Finally managed to jag it out and sign the log sheet - then it was a peaceful lunch reading the Christian literature that someone keeps leaving here [^]
Thanks touty78.

After just finding Stoney Creek, we decided to attempt this one. After a bit of a search we found this one as a joint effort. TFTC touty 78.
Looked for about 30 minutes. Couldn't find the cache but there's a lot less spider webs now! Next time we come this way we'll try again, could have just overlooked it. Thanks anyway touty78.
DNF at 1:57 PM. Is it a nano or a micro? We looked all over and could not locate the cache - maybe it is a sneaky little one of those capsule nano's that we were not looking for?
