Stoney Creek Rest Walcha, New South Wales, Australia
By touty78 on 06-Feb-14. Waypoint GC4Y60E

We stopped here and made a quick find and the wandered out onto the bridge to have a look at the gorge. Fortunately the traffic was light today so we were un disturbed until almost back off the bride. TFTC.

Amazing spot, thank you

Nice cache

??

Can't find checked every where but could not find

Could not find kept leading us to the seatbelt pole

Thanks. Rest stop very tidy at this moment.

Spending a few days in the Oxley Wild Rivers N.P. at Tia Falls and Apsley Falls. Beautiful countryside & deciduous trees in their bright green spring coat, reminds me of my birth country England - probably why they call this region New England. TFTC

I found this cache as I headed home to Adelaide after the QOGM events around Longreach.The plan was to be away for about a month. I travelled up to Longreach via Broken Hill, Cunnamulla, Charleville and Barcaldine, camping and finding caches of interest along the way. I am heading back home via Brisbane and the NSW coast to Sydney, then across to Adelaide. However my plans are pretty loose and subject to change, often on a whim!The weather so far has been good, albeit a little warm at times. I am hoping it stays good for the rest of the trip.I have had to be quite selective with the caches I have found as there are so many that I am passing. As a result I have mostly targeted non-traditional cache types, although I have also grabbed a few Trads opportunistically here and there.Thanks touty78 for the cache, which has contributed to an interesting and enjoyable trip.

DNF. Phone GPS struggled to give me a accurate location of cache. However did find a discarded plastic container, possibly the cache I couldn't find. See photo.

While staying at Wachope we decided to head up to Walcha for the afternoon, but we missed judged the time it would take to travel as we arrived late in the afternoon, so a quick few caches were found, a counter meal for tea and then headed back to Wachope, yep a big afternoon drive we had!

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

A nice easy park and grab. TFTC

2 in a row. Quick P & G. Thanks for keeping me sane.

A quick stop as we make our way towards Port Macquarie from our overnigjt stop near Walcha

We drove from Port Macquarie to Walcha today, in rain of varying intensities for 80% of the day. When we set off this morning, it was pouring, and we wondered if we'd find anything, but were pretty stoked with our eventual haul of 26 finds.
Quick and easy here, about time! Slightly different to the usual guarded cache, no probs here... TFTC!

Found today on the trip of our mini road trip from PMQ to Walcha, Had a nice time driving up the Oxley highway, although we had lots of DNFs we had a really fun time!

TFTC

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.

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.

Oh thank goodness this wasn't another micro/nano in a shelter!

Log signed and cache replaced as found on March 2, 2022. TFTC, touty78.

TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Found tyftc. Challenging whitey wiskas to 1500 finds first before dec 31st.

Back for a second shot at this one. Having read back through logs I could see I was totally looking in the wrong area so I now had a good idea where it would be and so it turned out to be. SL. Thank touty78

Sooo windy here!! Such a change from the beautiful weather I left on the coast. A nice easy find. TFTC

Haven't been to Walcha in years so with the help of my geodog Scruffy, we decided to find a few of the caches in the area ...

All Good .. TFTC ..

TFTC smile 4715 out and about with miss Millie geo dog Thank you for placing this cache for our enjoyment found on the way home to Queensland 27-5-19

Another quick stop and find for us as we make the short drive to Walsh into a slightly longer one.
TFTC.

Nice creek. Thanks

Just had a look at Google Satellite and I could see I was looking in totally wrong area. Seems it was in a more obvious hide some distance away that I even thought about checking but discounted as I thought it was "too obvious"! Another Doh! I'll definitely be back as the roads are fantastic on a bike, which I was.

I had a shot at this one but there was no phone reception and I hadn't loaded my Garmin which I thought I had left back at the Mt Seaview Resort where I was staying. I discovered later that the Etrex was in my pocket all along and I could have loaded the coordinates off the phone onto it it. Doh. Anyway I had a look around some likely places but all I could see at this rest stop was used toilet paper. Ugh! Can't some people wait 5 minutes until they get to town? Thanks anyway touty78

Finding caches along the way between Walcha and Wauchope. Thanks to the COs.

Found while driving down to port Macquarie

A quick and easy find as we slowly worked our way towards Wauchope for tonight's camp.

Plenty of room to stop while towing the caravan. Thanks for the cache and a reason to walk around. All’s good here.
Cheers and happy caching!

Found with Key_Tat, Viper_101 and TripleThreatsPMQ. This one had us scratching our heads last time we were around this area... but not this time... easier this time round. TFTC.

Another nice rest area to stop at here
And over at the side of the highway,
a quick cache find was clear [^]

TFTC

Confusing coordinates led us to the middle of the road. Looked all around the fence and couldn’t find it.

Quick find here despite coordinates pointing to the middle of the road.
Thanks for the cache

On our way to Tamworth we stopped to find this cache - it was pretty dark and a bit cold, but the cache was found with the aid of the headlights of the car.
Thanks touty78.

11.40am. Quick find here.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

Cacheis missing due to RMS maintenance. Replacement cache in place now. Happy hunting

Coordinates lead to the middle of the road which didn't make sense so we didn't find it

DNF 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.

No luck here today - we hunted, hunted and hunted some more. Will drop by next time we head this way.

Found quickly

TFTC, quick park and grab.

Traveling from Port Macquarie to Walcha i stopped at few locations along the way. Having found Tia rest stop i was expecting the same here. However my GPS led me to another structure where i found the cache quickly. TFTC

Good little stop off between port mac and tamworth. Tftc

Great hide. We love having a reason to stop on our travels and stretch our legs. Thanks touty78 for maintaining this cache.

Dropped off Hip Hop Frog looking for a ride to WA. TFTC collected in our way to Wauchope for the weekend.

Super-excited!! My 300th find!! And one I couldn't find before. Yeehaa!!!

Nice easy find in obvious spot
Tftc

Thanks for bringing us to this spot and TFTC.

TFTC, a shame about the rubbish

Found quickly, first of hopefully more on the way towards the coast!

Was lucky to get my hands on this one. By the time I was in location, I had no reception on my phone. Luckily I had kept the compass open which lead me to the general direction, as I had done some like this before, I had an idea where it was hiding. With the coach in hand and the log signed, I was soon on my way. TFTC - Docadoo

With the cold snap that came through Azmate22 and I went for a drive to Walcha to see some snow and on the way back, opted to stop in and look for caches!
This one had me at GZ pretty quickly but I almost gave up on finding the actual cache-Azmate22 had given up and was walking back to the car just as I twisted my head the right way and there it was! A quick sign and back into it's place it went! TFTC!

Was a harder find by Loryn87 found it in the end... Didnt help that the sleat was raining down and the wind had kicked up

The first on my mission to Uralla. Found at about 9am. There was a prime mover parked at the other end of the carpark, so I managde to get my car between him and GZ.
Thanks touty78 and cheers from Browngang

Easy find on our way to Wauchope for the weekend.

Another quick find on our way to Wauchope via Glen Innes from Stanthorpe.
Thanks for the hide touty78.

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.

Nice excuse to stop and stretch the legs.
Thanks for adding to the fun of our trip touty78! !

On our way back to SA via the NSW coast after the QLD Mega

Third find of the day on my way to Port Macquarie for the weekend events. Nice easy find. TFTC

No luck! Hint would help.

Found pretty quickly on a drive out from walcha. If you're not in a hurry the impressive Stoney Creek Falls are a few hundred meters away, instructions on how to find them can be found online if you google 'stoney creek falls Walcha'. Thanks!

Another easy find on a beautiful quiet Sunday morning. Cache in good condition. Took nothing, left keyring and Navy pin. TFTC
