It was another shorter rune today as we headed back out into the hills to complete the WoopiBucca trail and then onto Emerald Beach for the Ad Lab there and then a few further caches on the way home.
Great weather and another good day. We enjoyed the bush drive and then the sights along the coast were magnificent.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache earthly65.

Our group DRJ (DiamonJs, Richond Lad and joojoo57) had these caches west of Woolgoolga on our list today. Completed the new series as well as some other cachers close by. Thanks to the COs for your time and effort in placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment to find. It is very much appreciated.

 
26-Jun-20
Out and about caching today caching near Woolgoolga and area west doing a trail of caches and other caches along country roads. To the CO's thank you for placing these caches for them to be found (sorry about the generic log ). Most were easy to find, however there were a couple that needed more time to locate. Log signed as DRJ which represents us 3 cachers - DiamonJs, Richmond Lad and joojoo57. Thoroughly enjoyed. TFTC

Travelling south and picking up the odd cache here and there, along with goingplaces2. Put our names on each log found and then everything went back as found. TFTC.
 
27-May-19
After camping overnight the journey continues with ilook4geo. Some more smilies were added to our map today and each log found was inscribed with two more names. Just picked out a few caches for the day to represent the various places we travelled through. Thanks for this cache placement go to earthly65 and Robbieracer66. We specially targeted this cache as it had not been found in well over a year. So we were very pleased that it had been replaced and was not a hard one to find now.
 
25-May-19
checked in on this cache today after reported dnf...sadly...not a fire victim...just a mean ole muggling here im afraid...boooo!!..anyhoo..another cache type in place until i can find the makings of the cache we like here...happy caching!

DNF. Evidence of recent fire activity at GZ. Not sure if that's significant.

After having stayed at a camp at Thora for a few days and doing caching around Dorrigo and Bellingen it was time to head further north (as we are on our way home to Qld). We chose minor roads and were rewarded with some excellent creative cache hides. Not always easy to find and it took us a long time to get to our destination of Grafton but we are happy to have travelled the back roads. Fav point alloc. Thanks to earthly65 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. Big GrinBig Grin

Fabulous camo ... I was almost to scared to pick it up!

We're on our way home from the Alice Springs Mega event. Cached all through Victoria, S.Aus, Uluru, Barkly Hway, Qld & now back in our home state NSW ... finding some great camps along the way. Log stamped Coongoola, small logs signed CG.

Thanks for placing this cache earthly65 and Robbieracer66.

Well we had a funny time here at this cache. I was standing at GZ and trying to get geohubby's attention. He was sitting in the geovehicle enjoying the coolness of the a/c. I was chucking sticks, lumps of bark, clods of earth, etc, etc, and hitting the car with them, some of them even on the window beside his head. There was no reaction from him at all. Duh!! The things we have to put up with!! FINALLY, after hitting the car window yet again he was about to get out of the car and to move it because he thought all this stuff was falling out of a tree overhead. (There was no tree overhead). After all that he couldn't find what I needed and I had to retreat to the car myself anyway, lol. I should have just done that in the first place. We loved the cache location, the cache camo, the hide etc, so award this a favourite point. Thanks for the fun earthly65 and robbieracer66 Big GrinBig Grin

Wonderfully hidden, we enjoyed this one.
 
09-Aug-16
May have been there but did not have much time to look. If it had a lizard in the cache it may have been muggled. Not sure.
 
08-May-16
A cute hide out here, glad we didn't stand on it like some previous cachers - I imagine we would have got a fright too!

The sales of these must have soared since caches got onto them. Well suited to the area it lives in good choice. Found with staybe&co. What a beautiful day, we spent it with our family geocaching. It's good when both mums like to cache the day was simply awesome. thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find. tnln sl.

Took a road trip with Forbiddenground, travelling from Brissy with 2 specific goals. An Unloved cache past Coffs Harbour and the Hwy park & grabs on the way. A great trip with many great caches along the way. Would like to thank the CO's for placing their hides & keeping the game alive.

With the geomobile settled at the end of Settles, I settled into finding the cache Razz
A likely spot presented itself and I settled into finding a way through the ramparts [:o]
I'm glad I haven't lost me youthful sprightliness Smile

Now where's the cache ??
I gave the likely hiding spots a damn good poking.
Nothing !! Sad

I moved something that was getting in the way of me feet and almost leapt out of GZ Red Face
Very funny there 'earthly65' ... yer got me Wink

TFTC and a good chuckle [^]
 
09-May-15
Very cool hide. When we found it we laughed so much as the other half had been standing on it the whole time we looked. We got a fright when he realized he was standing on something. Tftc and the laugh.

Great but scary find
 
28-Sep-14
What a day, we have seen big kangaroos, frightened a goanna up a tree, lizards, skinks & had to give way to a 1.5mts Red bellied snake. SO when we read that this cache needed a long stick & beware of snakes you can imagine how wary we were. But all was fine to an easy find TFTC
 
27-Sep-14
Awesome cache and in the obvious and siq spot!
 
03-Sep-14
Got a long stick to do the checking for me first,then got serious and retrieved the little critter.TFTC.
