This one is definitely gone. It should be archived. There have been enough DNFs to warrant this.
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
Cache no where to be found, rest area is quite dirty and disgusting as per previous logs. CO needs to do maintenance
We looked for just a few minutes, the amount of rubbish and poo at this tree is not a place I really want to be looking for a cache. Obviously all that was not there to start with, but, it needs to be checked and moved away from this spot.
Found a likely spot that a cache may have been but the area is fairly disgusting. Looks like people use it as a toilet, so didn't want to look too deeply.
With a weird muggle looking on and no cache in the obvious spot i moved right along . Weather was also looking decidedly not iokay in the direction i was heading.
Found out on a caching day around dorrigo and surrounds, with the main aims the bald hill and deer vale road caches. sorry for the generic logs and thanks for the cache
TFTC starting to get very chilly and only 2.30 pm, best find tonight’s camp stop.
Heading North for a short holiday and collecting some caches along the way.
Thanks for placing it for us to find.

I've driven past this rest area so many times, but today was the first time I pulled over and had a look around. We stretched our legs and had the cache in hand quickly. Thanks Earthly and RobbieRacer - we loved this one!
We are on a 5 day camping trip around Dorrigo and Armidale, grabbing some caches along the way.
No trouble here, a straightforward find in the first place we checked.

On a caching weekend from Kempsey to Armidale with Ozglory.
A nice quick find. The rest stop certainly needs some work and maintenance.
Thanks so much for the cache!

Nice hide thanks, it was covered in snails. I put the log into a new ziplock bag as the original one was ripped

We have been staying at the free camp in Thora with our caravan and using it as a base to cache around Bellingen and Dorrigo to as far as Ebor. Fabulous countryside and we have loved the creative hides. Thankyou earthly65 for placement of this cache and sharing this special spot with us.
Found with my Dad and little brother heading home from our Australia Day weekend adventure....

After a top weekend geocaching in and around Dorrigo we have to go home - something about work and school? We're taking the long (more caches) way home to Newcastle through Armidale/Tamworth.
We found this in the obvious spot, had to look closely though to see it tucked away. The container was covered in snails today.... TFTC

Our final cache for the day and after the heat today I was begging for snow, a heat wave is ripping across much of our fair country this week. The cache was in good condition and we were please to see so many swaps! Left a pathtag.
A nice quick find here which is always nice when you're travelling. We are going from Guyra to Wooli today via Grafton. After reading the cache description we were indeed surprised to find that it snows here sometimes. The fallen snowman in your images was a sad sight. Not only because he was fallen but because the land looked so dry and brown. It was not at all the same experience we had today. The land was green and beautiful though it was very hot. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to stop here to find a cache. Cheers earthly65 and Robbieracer66 and a Happy New Year to you both!
A quick park and grab on the way out to Ebor and eventually Yamba. Unfortunately as per previous logs the TBs are long gone but was still good to find this cache. Swapped a
Located this great little cache all "high and dry" and in good order. Pitty people leave their trash here among the gorgeous wild flowers, especially sad since bins are right there. Many thanks guys for the cache.

Great cache, complete with snail guardians! Can't imagine it snowing out here... 30 degrees today! Thanks
On the way across Waterfalls Way to Armidale, we were going to stop but someone
was parked so we kept going, knowing that we had to return this way.
On our return trip, two RV's were parked in the picnic area so we were a bit disappointed.
As we pulled in they pulled out..thumbs up for that.
There IS only one place for the cache to be hidden here, so we snagged it quickly.
TO our disappointment someone walked off with the TB's. The last log was signed
in April. So, I guess the TB's "R" gonedo. Sad !!
I will add a picture in a few days.

Wow does it really snows here!! Cant believe how long it took to find this blighter, always looking in the right place but from the wrong angle. TFTC earthly65 and Robbieracer66
Great hiding spot. There was a fair bit of rubbish around & a fair bit of traffic but the hiding spot was pretty obvious as soon as we arrived! TFTC
SL. Swapped a little orange game token for an earring

While away for a couple of days from Brisbane visiting this area we nabbed a few cache hides.
We loved the countryside around here and enjoyed our time exploring the places where the caches were taking us to.
This one we grabbed on our way out of town. As mentioned in previous logs the area was a bit messy so just take care.
Otherwise all was good with the cache and it was still hidden in its spot.

Pulled up for a rest and thought I would check to see if there was a cache Yes thanks on our way home to Ale Victoria
Never heard of these containers being referred as oil cap. Quickly spied out and in hand by geo dad
Visiting the Waterfall Way from Sydney and heading from Armidale to Dorrigo. No luck for us here today. Searched the obvious spots and came up empty- handed. Cache blindness got us. Cheers... Gaztek
here it was 6:30pm and we hadn't had lunch so this spot was perfect. table and chairs, a cache and a fairly quiet spot. Nice hide in another unusual shape of nature. tftc sl tnln
This one has eluded me before, but I have it now

Thought we have a quick rest at the rest stop and see if there were any caches there and what do you know, sure enough there was one. Had a quick look and then saw this was an Earthly and Robbieracer hide and soon changed where we were looking and soon had the cache in hand.

Our 2nd day caching in the Dorrigo region with pprass.
Headed out to to the DV series. Great countryside, with many flowers growing along the road sides.
A quick park & grab at this small roadside rest area.
