Armidale Travel Bug Palace Duval, New South Wales, Australia
By magpiecottage on 22-Jul-14. Waypoint GC58C9D

Archived. Replacing with a new micro cache nearby

Disabling this cache temporarily while I check my options. I was asked by RMS to relocate it as too many cachers are parking too close to the entryway when inspections are on, obstructing the passage of trucks. I found NO TBs in the cache.

Location quiet, easy find, but no trackables. TFTC.

I walked straight past it but luckily my beautiful girlfriend spotted it haha

This was our last cache for today in Armidale and as we know this parking area well decided that it was a easy place to stop. The cache was spotted as we approached as it had not been pushed in far enough.
Loads of goodies in the cache. There is two TB's listed but one is not in the cache. We took one TB to move on. SL TFTC

TFTC 1706#

Found with the friendly help of the traffic inspector. TFTC.

As we were passing and the wheeltappers and shunters werent in evidence we.zoomed in and the other half found it.

Found together with parneq. Our last cache in Armidale before leaving "the highest city".
Released two travel bugs (Ernest the echidna and Pitt the platypus). Travel savely you two.

This was our last one left in Armidale which we did on our last night in Armidale! Found together with dule. TFTC. A good cache for our TB's to start their journey. In: TB "Pitt, the platypus" & "Ernest, the echidna"

Great find

On my AUSTRALIA tri 2015/2016 visited. Thx for the cache. Cheers

Easy find. TfTC Tor and Betsy geocaching westies are now touring australia.

Felt very threatened by the huge B double that rumbled in after us. Luckily he went further up so we could retrieve the cache unnoticed. TFTC

We breathed in as a huge truck came in but the driver had mechanical troubles and was not watching us. First find of the morning and we hope the rest of the day goes as well. TFTC

A quick stop to find the cache and see if any TBs want to travel. Took 2. TFTC.

Nice quick find took a TB to travel on further.

Thanks magpiecottage. Dropped off Halfpipe TB and sighted Kostka/Cube TB in the cache.

No travel bugs today, so we dropped one off, TFTC

This is cute and easy to find. Thank you

Awesome fairly easy to find too

Continuing my journey back north, I decided to stop here and there to pick a cache or two.
This was the next cache. I parked nearby and wandered over to GZ where quickly located the cache. I signed the log and rehid the cache as found before heading off to the next one.

Stopped off on our way to Guyra. Discovered 2 x TB's and
2 x TB Visit. - Batman Returns. & Hamish the Unicorn.
Signed logsheet 11/10/2015 11:40 am and replaced all as found.

Stopped by here to drop off Richie the Koala (which I can't seem to log because the next person to pick him up got to a decent internet connection before me). I picked up a few more travellers to head back down to Sydney with me. TFTC.

Nice little hide. Picked up TB, on its way to Taree! TFTC

On a caching trip with my muggle brother in law as a guide in Armidale! This is number 4/10.
This one was a perfect "Driveby". I didn't even get out of the car (second time). Taking one TB with me to Sydney and coffs Harbour.

Thanks for the cache. Aussietodde

Dropped Happy Birthday Canberra 08 TB.

Thought that this was a great place to drop off a TB we had retreived during our southern sojourn. We dropped off DC 10 and retreived magpiecottage to relocate asap. TFTC

Dropped off three TBs.
1. Magpiecottage 280 finds tag
2. Stan's Kewl Runnings
3. Stan's Running for Caches
The two Stans are beginning a race. Who will win? Careful to log the right one, they are identical except for the tracking code.

Travelling home from a prospecting camping weekend & doing some caching on the way. Took TBs left giraffe TFTC

Travelling home from a prospecting camping weekend & doing some caching on the way. Took TBs left giraffe TFTC

A good first find for the day, and with some TBs installed as well!! We took one TB and left two others for other cachers to discover or help on their ways. TFTC, magpiecottage.

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Having camped overnight at Guyra it was time to move to Armidale this morning. Mrs Felix had yet anohter sleep in but Mr Felix was up early and pottering about.

The neighbours appeared to be experiencing a problem and 'Havachat' aka Mr Felix headed over to help! Well after fixing the issue in the first 5minutes it took over another 2 hours to diagnose and hopefully avoid the problem for them in the future.

Now parked up at Armidale showgrounds all the morning chores are now arvo chores and oh no wait it's late and we don't have a smilie for today. [B)]

Before we put dinner in the oven we headed over here to swap some TB's. Hope to investigate some other caches here in Armidale before we move on.

PU 4 TB's and dropped 3 TB's. The coin appears to be missing. [xx(]

Dropping off Falsom TB to continue its journey

Catching up with some very late logs.
We were on our way to the QLD Mega with micaparamedic and The Coffee's picking up some of the closer caches as we went.
This was day three.
We found a variety of cache hides, some easy, some took a bit of searching. Unfortunately somewhere along the way we have misplaced our paperwork and with over 400 cache finds in two weeks we can't remember them all individually so we apologise for this generic log but we do thank each and every cache hider for their efforts.

Good hinding spot - thanks

Logging Fishy Friends TB into my cache properly

Really easy find, thanks!

Tftc here for uni for the week great little bug palace

Easy

We came to Qld to attend the mega and after we headed of to Kingaroy for a couple of day but now we slowly make the trip back to Adelaide grabbing caches along the way, we thank all those hid caches for us to find along our journey back. TFTC

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..
Thanks for adding to the fun of our trip magpiecottage! !

A quick stop to exchange some travel bugs. Went in to stop going the wrong way...awkward. The highway patrol was nice though and excused out tourist driving

All quiet at GZ today so stopped in for a quick break, and cache find.

Many thanks for the placement.

I dropped a TB off and carried on down the road.

I managed to park so close to this one that I almost hit it with the car door!

Dropping off 3 TB's and retrieved one.

Dropping off world traveller bug.

Quick find in the obvious place. 2 Trucks parked in the lot, I was able to park my car next to GZ and block there view if they happened to look. TNLN.
TFTC.

Thank you for Stanthorpe Oz Mega....

On our way home after the Mega, and trying to get 20 to 30 finds as we go. a quick find here with the rest stop empty. Thanks magpiecottage.

Wonderful holiday in Australia with laalaa. Second day and towards mega. It was so different what I used to.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.

[ 12 / 16 | 17392 ]

Found it with Team FIN [kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Australian Capital Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

A quick find after staying the night in Armidale enroute to the Mega event in Stanthorpe.
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

A great days caching on a road trip toward Oz Mega 2015 with Team Crackers and The Coffees. Many differing experiences, some where I walked right to the cache and others where I needed to hunt around a bit. As usual I have enjoyed the various challenges set by the CO's and the fact that I get to cache with friends and am outside in the great outdoors.

Many thanks magpiecottage for placing this cache .

Heading up to the Queensland Mega with Team Crackers and Micaparamedic, we stopped off and picked this one up.
Thanks for the cache,
Regards The Coffee's.

Found no bugs though 2 apr

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.

Day five started with the remaining caches around Armidale and then the drive to Tenterfield via Glenn Innes. The creek areas in these Highland towns seem to be very well developed and the caches have taken full advantage. Plenty of variety. Thanks.
