Staying in Dorrigo for a couple of nights and today we cached around town and to the east. Lovely weather, some tricky hides and great spots visited - thanks to the local COs - you certainly have a range of hides!
A very clever hide - a FP given.

This was the second spot visited on a quick little stroll along the river. I'm not usually one for wandering about town searching for micros but we had time to kill before dark. when I got to ground zero I pretty much decided to give up as there was a lot of places a micro could be so instead we sat at the nearby picnic table and began a cryptic crossword from the paper. It soon became apparent that a storm would be arriving imminently so we decided to head on, but I was struck with the urge to at least take a quick look for the cache before moving on. about 30 seconds later I had my hand on the cache thankfully, though it took a little longer to extract the log however. all in all that was a pretty cunning hide, I could imagine if I were unlucky I could easily have walked away with a DNF here. Good to find this one after it's been unfound for over six months.

My thanks go to groovydoo, this was a fun little walk and I think this was favourite of those we did.

G'Day

I'm sorry, but your recent move has brought your cache too close to the Traditional Cache of[GC3N63R: Over the Bielsdown River](http://coord.info/GC3N63R) and will need to be moved. Please read the following item on [Cache Saturation](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachesaturation)

I've disabled this listing for the time being, could you please move it to a new location that fits within the saturation guidelines. Once that is done you may enable the cache.

Rgds,
Matt - Ministro.

Staying around Dorrigo for a few days, camping and geocaching.

We went straight to the obvious spot but after 5 minutes found nothing, a 2nd check of the GPS showed it was pointing to another place a couple of metres away where we soon located the well camoed cache.
Thanks for the cache

TFTC, after seeing that the missing cache was replaced, I returned to not only find the new well camo'd cache but unbelievably also the small uncamo'd container of the old one which must have resurfaced with all the rain, I signed the new log and will drop the other container in another cache owned by the C.O for him to pick up.
