Haha got you this time you sticky little sucker. I visited here when I firsted started caching and didn't find. Now thinking like a cacher this one was a fairly easy find. Tftc Groovydoo
This was a very quick find by Mrs Shifter after enjoying lunch in town, just a shame the town was covered in cloud and mist today, meaning we were unable to enjoy the viewsThanks for the hide groovydoo.
Leo climbed up to make the find of our firstbdorrigo cache thank you. Now to stroll along the beautiful full river
Tftc, this one was a nice quick find on a nice day out with my fav person. Thank you for bringing us here
Out with my friends muggle baby. Lovely walk with a pram. Nice easy find.

This was Dorrigo Day, as that was the area we concentrated on for caching with ilook4geo. This was one of the caches we found as we roamed the area. One cacher being taller was a help here. Each cache we found had its log signed with both names and was put back as it had been found before we moved on to continue the hunt. Thank you to groovydoo for adding to our caching fun for the day.
Enjoyed some caching around Dorrigo area with goingplaces2. Found a variety of caches and had some fun along the way. TFTC.
Amazing how much easier this was to find with the co in attendance. I was looking on the wrong part last time.
With 4 eyes looking and 4 arms reaching high, still a DNF. Big possibility cache is missing.
It's our last day in Dorrigo, so I spent an hour or so this afternoon checking out some of the caches in and around town.
No luck here though I did see a hidey hole in which an eclipse time would fit nicely ... but nothing like that was visible. A CO check is probably needed.

The wind was getting quite strong as we arrived here in advance of the approaching storm. I was glad that I made short work of the hunt here. There were plenty of possibilities but the terrain rating reduced the possibilities greatly. We quickly got our names in the log and popped it back in it's hideyhole before shuffling onwards to see what else was along the creek.
Thanks for placing this cache groovydoo adding to our enjoyment of the area

Hi groovydoo,
This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.
**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.
Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.
I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Didn't think i was particularly challenged in a vertical way but no luck for me today. Will no doubt be back up here another day to try again
Could see the cache, but just wasn't tall enough to reach it! Next time, bringing a ladder. 
Found 12/10/19 with JessYoung96. Good find, had some muggles come walking past us so we had to stop searching. Once they past we found it easily.

Have had Dorrigo on my "must do" list for quite some time and finally the planets and stars have aligned and we set off on a glorious winter's day. What a lovely pleasant walk along the river. This one took us a while, definitely not for the vertically challenged!!
Staying in Moonpar hideaway near Bostobrick for a few days whilst on a road trip from Sydney to Brisbane. Nice quick find here.

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 groovydoo for placement of this cache and sharing this special spot with us. 
Read the hint wrong and was searching for a while until I realised I read it wrong and found it. Great spot and camouflage. TFTC.
Easily spotted on approach. Container has sustained a little damage, squashed, but log is ok. SL and replaced a little more discreetly. Thanks groovydoo
Quick find here today. Didn't think I was going to be able to reach it but I managed. I jumped and caught the edge with my fingertips. Returned it the same way. Thanks groovydoo.
TFTC, found the hidey hole quick enough but getting the cache out took over 10 minutes as it was pushed that little bit to far in, had to use a couple of tools I had handy but got there in the end.

Was with Talenclaw when he found it, since then Council have trimmed all the bushes back, and cache is gone. Will have to find a new location and make a new cache asap
I could'nt get a good lock on GZ, the 2 trees I think it might be hidden on/near have had a recent pruning so it may need checking on.
On my way back to Canberra from Brisbane. Taking a scenic route off the main highways. A quick find, TFTC.
Parked up the main street and got a feed,then walked to this one past a place where I might have known someone but it was all locked up so kept going to this cache..TFTC.
