Time for this one to be archived?

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Cache is missing. A serious flood has been through here on 28 March 2017, 2 days after the last finder. Cache hasn’t been here since. Definitely washed away and not here.

I wondered if floods might have swept it away?

No joy here, please can the CO check if the cache is still here?

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Gone with the flood water.

Flood victim I recon.

The fairies didn't play nice with me today. I wonder did the recent floods invade their home. TFTH.

For starters, it looks like another geocoin has grown legs and walked. There must be an awful lot of walking geocoins out there in wide world, never crossed paths with one though.

Anyway, out caching with HWD today and she over shot the runway a bit on this one. I jumped out and headed back while she took off. What, wait! Where the heck are you going?
I dived in, I wasn't hopeful with all the debris on the fence but sure enough there she is. Not sure how it will fair after the recent floods though. I'm logging a few weeks late incase you're wondering.
So I quickly signed us in and replaced before HWD finally made her way back for pickup.
Cheers Madhouse clan

Out for a country drive today and maybe a short geocycle if the weather holds and the track looks ok.

quite a few of my hunts today involved parking safely and walking a short distance to the cache. The creek was running fast today with all the rain.

Nice fairly quick find today while hunting caches in the area.
SL TFTC

Out for a country drive and to collect some caches on the way. Such a beautiful part of Australia
Nice huge cache here, geogirldid some swaps

Gotcha !!! Grabbed TB (TG8NJJ) to move on. TFTC

Out for a day down south with Ness&Kadin92. this was #4 for the day

Driving up to this one our GPS kept jumping so one moment Ness is saying its 300m away and the next its behind us, for this reason we had difficulty finding a suitable park on either side. We pulled up on a tiny stretch of shortish grass on the road, Ness couldn't open her door because there was bushes so i walked 100m up the road to locate the cache. I must say on this one I struggled to reach and can't really comprehend how a child could obtain it without the the assistance of an adult lifting them up. Other then that, we really enjoyed all the swaps and the size of the cache. Thank you again Aussie!!

Out today with Grace doing the Stokers/Uki loop of fairly new caches. This one was difficult for us to reach.. We did circle back to find a park and even then we felt a bit unsafe as there isn't really a spot to park or even pull over.. I swapped TB's.

Night caching with Tough Mothers.

A quick find with tough mothers tonight all good out for a drive after doing mt warning

Big flood has been through here. Lucky to have survived. Tftc

Tricky to reach but found OK with the tough mothers on a night run. Tftc

Dropped off travel bug.

Found with the tough mothers at night!

While camping at Mt Warning, Remsjw, Bennyboppers, Lisylou, Misssusan, Jemillalucy, muggle Tash and myself decided to do some caches at night. A bit tricky to get to this one with all of the flood damage. TFTC!

Not the best spot for a children's orientated cache. Double white lines, on a blind bend with sketchy parking. Thanks anyway.

Found at 3:09 PM GAFF1.
Wow - there has been some serious flooding through here. Wonder how the cache in that precarious location survived?
Thanks Madhouse clan.

Recent flooding evident but still high and dry. Tftc.

Found above the flood debris. TFTC

We had been hibernating inside for a few days and needed to escape , the weather was good today and we knew of this little series would take us for a nice country drive ,most were found easily and only one PAF was required , we totalled 29 today and this was one of them TFTC

Found alone by geohubby.TFTC JenneG and Budgy

Well, this was a fun little cache to find on a wet and wild morning. After finding a place to park, we headed towards ground zero. When doing so it became apparent as to where one should look. With our suspicions being correct, we soon had a well stocked cache in hand.

Venturing down from the Sunny Coast, this cache was part of a 2-day adventure for [mtill17](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=ae463669-50bd-49c3-961b-326573012dc6) and I that revolved around the awesome event '[Mt. Warning Get Together](https://coord.info/GC6HYV5)'. It was a great weekend of hiking, caching, socialising and rain [:p].

It is just amazing what this region has to offer, not only in the way of geocaches but also the views. It is really one very scenic area to be adventuring in. I had a great time whilst down here in NSW and will definitely be coming back soon!

Thank you so much for this cache Madhouse clan. All is in good order here.

Wow, what an adventure of a weekend we have had!!

Earlier this week MinkosDes messaged me asking if I was crazy enough to joing him on an overnight camping trip down over the border to climb Mt Warning and explore Stocker Siding - how could I say no!!

So at 2.30am we left the Sunshine Coast and crossed the border into NSW territory, after climbing the mountain we adventured around Stokers Siding socialised at the event and bush bashed to adandoned railway tunnels.

This was one of the caches found the following morning as we did a 'lap of the map' around Stokers Siding, Uki, Murwillumba and the surrounding areas.

This cache was in great order and full of swag, we did a bit of swapping around before heading on to the next cache!

TFTC Madhouse clan.

We were attending the fabulous event nearby & after setting up our camper trailer decided to walk over & have a look for this one.
You can certainly see how high the water was the other week, glad we weren't here then!
What a great size cache & nice & dry. We took the beast quest book (geoson will be well pleased with that) & left a few swaps in the very well stocked cache. Log signed & cache replaced where found nice & high.
TFTC Madhouse clan

I was attending the nearby event and decided to go for a bit of a wander to the two nearest cache.

It looks like there has been quite a bit of water through this area recently so it was great to find the cache sitting on the ground. I replaced it as per the hint and headed back to the event.

Thanks for the cache Madhouse clan. Cheers!!

Wow! That is the biggest geocache we have found today, swapped some toys and left a trackable jelly bean man. I love a big one full of stash!! This is a beautiful piece of the world!

wow what a mess. the cache is good to go but all the debris from the floods great cache. TFTC.

Tftc

Beautiful little waterhole nearby. What a glorious spot

Tftc

My first geocaching experience outside Finland led us to amazing cycling trip around Stokers Siding. Thanks for nice cache!!

Thank you..we added a new treat!!

Found it on a morning before lunch at the Uki pub. Be careful when leaning over the fence

Nice walk - parked at railway - be careful

I've just picked up a campervan from Brisbane, and aiming to get at least one cache in each of my stops on the way down South. Love the name of this one, and having always had "Fairies at the bottom of the garden" I had to make a point of getting at least one in this series!

TFTC Madhouse Clan!

Had a weekend away at the besties place again and we thought we would head in the other direction to what we did last time as we crossed off most of the Lolly Bag Loop.

This was our tenth of 23 finds for today so we were pretty happy.

Parking here is a little difficult depending on the direction you are coming from. As we approached GZ, we were greeted by a huge goanna that scurried away. Looked like there may have been some activity in the creek also and the bestie informed me it was platypus country. I am still yet to see one in the wild.

Headed over to GZ. Nice and easy find this one. Lots of swaps available.

Cache is ok.

Log signed and replaced as found.

Smilie #3352

Heading south from Brisbane to Nimbin & back in a nice 'country drive' type loop.
I mean, when someone wants a new bag, isn't that what you do? LOL ...

A good sized cache in good condition.
Great setting with the faerie trees & running water nearby.
Almost a true faerie setting!
However, parking was a little hazardous.
Signed & replaced as found.

TFTC Madhouse clan

We found it! We put a packet of crayons in it!

Took a little bit of looking but finally found it. Thankfully not a super busy road. Kids enjoyed swapping treasures. Thanks

TFTC! Left a yellow tag with a kissy face on it and a marble.

Heading towards the CITO event at Stokers this morning.

TFTC

Easy find on the way to the Cito beautiful day on the north coast .

This week-end is the CITO week-end and the nearby event is my closest CITO event.
While in the area I found the caches in the surrounding roads.
With the new road works parking at GZ is now non-existant.
Thanks for the cache.

New road works made for a difficult place to park our car
Once we pulled off the road walked to cache
Geo hubby had to retrieve this one today
Tftc

Out having an adventurous day of caching with King-fisher 8 and RoddyC and Team Benders and DiamonJS

Know this road well and have always loved this bit of it. Nice easy find TFTC

Out with a great bunch of cachers today.
We pulled up in convoy to this cache which was a quick find.
A lovely area to which you brought us thanks.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Madhouse clan All good with this cache

Today is our Mullumbimby/Tweed Valley Way trek with King-fisher 8, jackxena62, Team Benders and DiamonJs. We moved up the road a bit from Stokers to look for this one and around a bend we could almost see it in a tree. Nice to see what you are looking for so quickly! Found at 6.30 pm on 6th March 2015. TFTC.

My family have bought some land just near here and we came down to visit it today and grandma and granddad (Aussie Liahona) came too. They helped me find this cache and I was surprised at how big it was. My dad had to assist with getting it. We traded some swag, signed the log, and replaced the cache. Thanks for the cache Madhouse clan..

Thanks guys. The grandsons loved finding this cache.

While down visiting the land that is to come into the family we stopped for this cache with our granddaughter who has just signed up to geocaching. Her dad helped her retrieve the cache and we traded swag and signed the log. Thanks for the cache Madhouse clan. This is indeed a beautiful area and a scenic drive. [^][^]

Quick and easy find. Cache was a little wet (as was the previous one) so we tried to dry them out as much as possible.

Geokid stoked to find a Pokemon swap.

TFTC

Pulled up alongside and could see it before even out of the car. Girls Made a couple of swaps. TFTC

2nd of this series for today. Boofhead and I enjoyed a chat with the local farmer who wanted to sell us his cows. We couldn't fit one in the car so had to pass! TFTC

Tftc. Local farmer muggle tried to sell us a cow, then the farm, then his house.

Out for a day of caching with Nyssaflutterby, Angela from Team DNA and barbbowman.

This one wasn't in my list of loaded caches, so I was wondering why all of a sudden we were pulling over.

Quick find of a nice size container.

Log signed, cache replaced.

TFTH

Out with Team DNA, barbbowman and FastEd 59, ripping up the country roads and finding a few caches. This one was next on the map heading north. While not on our original list, it would be rude not to stop for it. Certainly a lovely area to create a few smilies.

At GZ it did not take long until the nice sized beasty was in hand. We signed the log and then replaced the cache as it had been found.

Thanks for the cache Madhouse clan

wow that is huge

I saw it as we approached and went in for the grab
open and passed logbook to Nyssa for the signing

dropped off Ready set GO - Vanity Smurf

took a penny
left a green ribbon

On a NSW adventure with Nyssafluttery, barbbowman and FastEd59.

We had completed the two caches we had come down to grab and was left with some extra time! We decided to follow the cache trail and see how we went!

We saw a couple of Faerie caches and couldn't resist stopping by!

We came up on this one suddenly, so I stopped the Rocket in the middle of the road while everyone raced out for the cache. I could see in both directions and the cache was located before I had a chance to park up, so my name was included in the log and everyone raced back to the Rocket and just as the last person jumped in, a car appeared ahead of us!

TFTC

TFTC

All ok in this large cache. TNLNTFTC

After negotiating the car parking, this turned out to be a quick find!

Nice sized container, thanks Madhouse clan

A great spot and an good sized container, what else could you wish for TFTC

A quick grab with a merry band of cachists on our way to a milestone meetup at Buringbar at noon. Nice to find a large container. TFTC.

Out and about today and stopped by to sign this log. Easily found, log signed, returned to it's spot. Off to rock hop up a creek. TFTC

Oh so nice to pull up and find a big cache. Thank you for taking the time to make our day out a little bit more special 'Madhouse clan'. I TN/LN, signed the log and spent a while enjoying the surrounds. If not for the road in the middle, this would be a nice spot for a picnic .

First faerie tales cache it amazing so many swaps. Such a beautiful place. I'll have to learn were the others are.

Another good sized cache, left what kiddy type swaps I had with me to add to the collection. Good idea for a series. tftc

Somehow I overlooked this one last week but I was in the area again and not being one to knock back a challenge I decided to go for it. Not too hard to grab! Investigated the contents but left everything as is. TFTC Madhouse Clan.

A nice quick find after we pulled over. What a well stocked, well maintained cache. Thanks so much a madhouse clan for making us stop.

Visiting Byron Bay from Ballarat for a couple of days and caching with Tomstache and a couple of muggle friends, we ventured to Mullumbimby Market today, stopped for a pie at Billinudgel, then continued on to Tweed Gallery to see the Margaret Olley Exhibition and enjoy afternoon tea before heading back to Byron Bay via the coast road. A stunning day all round.

Thanks for the cache, cool cache. Good swaps. Thanks madhouse clan.

They leave their footprints on your heart and they are never forgotten.

We'd been 'hanging around' in Stokers and decided to head back to 'civilisation' via this route. Stopping at a very charming glade which contained the prize. Nice to see such a large well stocked cache. The smells of the camphor laurels are lovely, they might be a pest but they sure smell nice.

We took nothing but memories and left nothing but our signature and a note in the logbook. Thanks for the cache.

love these caches tftc

Found this one on a drive through the area, after afternoon tea at Uki my old home town. Nice to see a new series in the area. TFTC

TFTC,
Taking a drive around the area.
Visited a group of trackables sharing the experience.

TFTC

I'm sure that I made a FTF just a few trees down last year? This one is in a better spot. So many lovely clean swaps for kids in here. It was tempting to take something but I had nothing to offer in return. Thanks Madhouse clan.

Our second find from this series. Little tricky with passing traffic on their way to and from the markets but was found quite quickly. TFTC.

After visiting the markets in downtown Stokers Siding, we headed off to find this cache. With the traffic driving by , we had to find the cache and sign before the next car drove past. This was done and onto the next. TFTC

Left home a bit early today so I could do a couple of caches,turned of at Burringbar and realised I didn't have my GPS,never mind I had my phone,got me close enough the clue worked from there.TFTC.

Captain Terror, Fangsoki and I were spending the public holiday together doing a spot of caching down near the border. We had planned to come down here for a walk but then decided to cross the border and head home via Uki and Murwillumbah.

We were on our way when Fangsoki's phone went off. Hmmm i,riblet... I wonder where it is? We had a look and it turned out that it was going to be almost exactly on our route. Well it would be rude to not get it wouldn't it.

A little while later Fang was parking the car and we headed down the road back towards GZ. The Captain found the cache quickly as per usual. He opened the container and I spotted some nail polish that I wanted to look at. I have seen that particular one in the shops and if I had something with me I would have definitely swapped it. What great swaps you had. We went through them as Fangsoki took a long time writing his name Once everything was signed I grabbed the pathtag, thank you, and the cache was replaced as found. Thanks for the cache Madhouse Clan I was very happy to have this one as a rare *FTF*

Published

Just missed FTF but great box of things for the kids .. Took fairy dust left car and ball TFTC

A Fangsoki's notifications go far and wide. While our publisher's were going hell for leather publishing caches like mad - I noticed this one pop up on my phone. I know that i,riblit does NSW - and that is why this one peaked my interest - coz that's exactly where we were

Alas Captain Terror, Net88, and I were hundreds of kilometres away still. I put it on watch while I had service and continued on our journey. We finally made the turns to get toward this one - no notifications as of yet. This doesn't mean much as not everyone has the facility to log straight away. I, for one, don't get my knickers in a knot if am second to find because the first finder hasn't logged yet.

We pulled up near GZ. Captain Terror was whinging at me coz I parked 60m away from the cache. Get over it, princess! We made our way to GZ and Captain Terror soon located himself a cache - a quite handsomely sized and stocked cache at that.

Captain Terror was stuffing around in the box so I snatched the logbook to check the FTF status. Ye gods! We actually are *FTF* ! We signed the log at 2.14pm

What a fantastic premise for a cache. We re-hid everything as we found it. Dante mc - don't lose heart that you didn't get FTF - hopefully you will have better luck next time I hope your kids enjoyed the cache - as the cache owner intended

TFTC Madhouse clan - a very lovely area

Fangsoki, Net88 and I had been hiking up in the hills and having just popped out of the Mt Lindesay Highway and onto Summerland Way, we came into an area with mobile reception for the first time in a few hours. While I do not, Fangsoki had notifications of the area and saw one published by Mr. Riblit, in the area we were headed. We figured we may as well swing past when we got there - but we had over 100km to travel between now and then.

Flash forward over 100km and we were finally on the same road. Parking was found some 60 metres away, so I gave our driver an earful for making me walk to a geocache. We legged it down the road towards the co-ordinates and being the tall one, I spotted it tucked away. I plucked it out to share with the little group. Net88 wanted to look at something inside, so I was grabbing that for her when Fangsoki got impatient

Indeed we were the first ones here - a nice feeling over 90km from home (as the crow flies). The logbook was signed before the lot was rehidden as found. A very nice geocache and I'm sure one the kids will love.

Fear not Dante mc, we all win some and lose some - I promise we'll leave the next one for you. TFTC Madhouse clan, a decent size container full of wonderful swaps - a very happy bonus for us on our long trip today
