Couldn’t find both times we have came.

Missing cache. Not local to cache for maintenance.

Spent awhile looking and couldn’t find and based off of other posts it may not be there
(DNF)

Nope. Looked all around. Nothing for me.

I was searching one side and Mr Minion the other, of course it was on mr Minuons side . Log is really wet and needs maintenance. Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found

Log is really wet and hard to sign

Scraped knees and hot hands on a 34 degree day but it was worth it in the end. TFTC.

Thought we’d have to join the troll but a little spotting and reaching kept us safe! TFTC!

Paper wet
Put in a fresh piece
Took a while to find
TFTC

Christmas caching with Geospark62. After going where the troll lives we found the cache . We added a new sheet of paper as the other piece was wet. Signed and replaced where found. TFTC

Out and about finishing the numbers to get signal out of his labyrinth nearly got the numbers so had to stop by and ask the troll for another cache , all in good condition a little moist but ok , took a second gance to see it as it's in your face thanks for placing and maintaining

Had a good look around but unable to find the cache nothing on the sign or below it both phone and GPS give the sign gz, maybe another day

Had to twist my arm twice for this one. Once to get it out and again to put it back.

A fairly quick find. No trolls to be seen today

Staying at Tomago Bowling Club. Day3
Today is our last day in the area, visited Cosco in the morning & collected water for an EC.
The afternoon we headed to Raymond Terrace & Seaham for a few traditionals & 1 WIGo.
A nice drive in the rural area.
I searched around the trolls home but hubby spotted it & gave instructions from up top.
Thanks for placing this cache

Replaced log. Super wet!

Nice easy find while out with techsavvy9 today. Cache is water logged and needs some maintenance. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful spot.

TFTC and thank goodness there were no trolls around. Found with Deni_f. The log was too wet to sign. The view from here was lovely.

Log too wet to write ️ on

Cute little find

Nice hide,long bendy arms made this a bit easier to retrieve

Oops I dropped the cache TFTC

It was great fun finding it

Found it where a troll lives

Nice drive out here. Tftc

Great cache

Found today with nellc, the log was found to be very wet so we replaced it with a new one in a baggie.

Found with Steam koala, log was wet and unuseable so was replaced.

sneaky hide tftc

On my way to the Wangaratta MEGA event, it is a slow drive down as I am stopping off at many of the unusual and interesting places. My trip down south is mostly centered on the older caches and ones for challenges or d/t grids, but I was also stopping at a few as I passed by.

A drive along and I spied this cache so I decided I needed a keep break. I pulled up right near the cache and started my walk. The hint was a help but I did need to look hard then it was a flexible reach to grab the cache. I signed the log and replaced as found and continued on to the next one on my list. Thanks for placing it here.

Thanks Apricity⁂ I Found with frisky_puppet this is my 564 tftc

Out for a big day of caching on this fine Sunday with Dart16
Thanks Apricity⁂ for placing the cache this one is find #2246 for me TFTC.

First find

Good little bridge. TFTC

Nice little find
TFTC

Found!!
The Only troll my daughter found under the bridge was her daddy who was helping her find it

Found it. Spider decided it needed to jump and defend it from my daughter but she got there in the end.

harder to see but you do need some flexibility, be ware of spiders as one jumped on my hand!!

Good fun, spider jumped onto my daughters hand and she dropped the cache, but we retrieved it and put it back for the next searchers

Hard to find need to look closely!!

A fun find

Found it. I think the troll has been evicted. His yard is overgrown. TFTC apricity.

Found with Shaneo58. Spending the day catching up un some closer caches north of us. Nice quick find, not realy a T1.5 with this grass and weeds around your neck..
Log signed and cache replaced as found.

**Thanks For The Cache** Apricity?.

This is the 1st cache of 1 for today making a grand total of 3080 at 12:38:00 PM on Fri 2Apr2021

Out for a Sunday drive and picnic and found a couple of caches on the way. I wanted to get an adventure lab based on Newcastle's drinking water catchments and infrastructure but due to HWC private property issues it looks like i won't be able to sort it out. a quick find. TFTC

Last cache before going back to school. Dungog High School Support Unit. Been an amazing day!4/5 finds today

Didn't really need to go rummaging through the grass with this one. I spotted it just as Sig (who was rummaging through the grass) spotted it. SL TFTC Apricity

Long grass was scary

Following the Satnav back to Sydney down some roads I have never travelled. Caches along the way we’re located. This one added a whole stack of Farmer’s Fiends to the ants still biting from the last cache but was a quick find once I turned around.
TFTC Apricity

The troll wasn't home....

Found with O319 on a drive around the area.

For a difficulty 1 it took us a long time! The comment about the snake and not getting in the scrub made us reluctant to look where it eventually was.

Hint was super useful

Dominated like billy goat gruff

Found the troll thanks

Tftc

TFTC easy find. Take a pen, no pen in cache

TFTC apricity, nice park and grab don't know why it hasn't been found for a while. Cache in good condition, remove with some caution big spiders here️️

This is nice one, thanks for the cache

Headed to the Maitland area with fitzy_1965 & SpecimenX for an extra long weekend of caching.

Day 1 saw us caching in the general area after setting up camp.

All caches where found quickly and easily.

18,786. Found with minniek and specimenX during the Canberra Invasion of Maitland region over the long weekend.

After driving up this morning and setting up camp we finally got out caching. This was the next find of the weekend (out of an eventual 376 for me !! - woo hoo). A nice quick find - thankful the reptilian neighbor has moved on !

Thanks Apricity !!

Found with fitzy_1965 and minniek as part of the Canberra Invasion of Maitland and surrounds over an extra long weekend

Wandered over this one with minniek from the geomover and it was a quick find for us here [^]

Thanks for the hide, Apricity?

Kids loved this one!!

Found it as part of Team NZ Mega 2020..

A nice and easy find. TFTC

* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Found this one with team NZ MEGA 2020 as we were passing through the area, over here in Australia for the GeoMuster mega event in Wollongong. It's been a long day of driving and caching, so a quick stop here to stretch legs and wake up. Last find of the night. TFTC!!!

A group of five of us from Auckland, New Zealand have embarked ourselves upon Australian territory to wile away the time here at the 2019 MEGA .and to gather up some old caches and see the country while we’re at it.

It's dark and we're gradually heading back to Avoca Beach Resort for the night. Heaps of driving done today.

All logs while in Australia were signed as NZ MEGA 2020 to save space. We are FMZ, Agazo, rustynz, harisree and myself.

Day 5: A group of Westies (rustynz, harisree, Gorby, FMZ and Agazo - temporary Westie visa holder), are in Australia from NZ to attend the OZGeoMuster MEGA in Wollongong. All logs have been signed NZMEGA 2020

Well it is dark, and if I had read the cache page about a carpet python I probably would have stayed in the car. I guess fools rush in?

For some reason the GPS had us on the other side of the bridge. So it was once back on the road, and over the other side, that I then spotted the cache.

Happy to log the find, and relieved no snakes seen today

Thanks for the hide Apricity⁂

Team NZ Mega 2020, which includes Harisree, rustynz, FMZ, Gorby, and yours truly, spent the day in this area to get a few old and otherwise interesting caches.

It seemed like both the D and T rating should be higher. We found at night, so maybe this added to our problems. TFTC.

A quick find just before the school bus arrived.

Found at 10:16 AM GAFF1.
For a 1.0/15, I was expecting a much easier find, but that was not the case. We had to go down to a T of 2.0 at least and then there was a bit of anxiety wondering if the resident snake was going to be home [B)]
Thanks Apricity?
Feedback: given the terrain that you have to go into, this should be rated as a T of 2.0 at least.

The cache name made for a quick find.
TFTC

??

Tftc quick and easy and thankfully no snake

Find No: 6700. Attended the HAVOC cache awards today near Balickera Canal and expanded to try a few more in the area, had a most enjoyable day and added 13 smilies, thanks for the cache Apricity?!!

No snakes today but did find the log. Thanks

Nearly gave up then bingo. Watch out for the sticky beaks

Easy Find

TFTC!

Wrong side to start then a quick find. TFTC

Found on way to Frying Pan. TFTC

Teamed up with The Rats to tackle the back half of the Mega Oz GeoMuster event based in Morriset. We ventured up very early on Sunday morning and popped into the event before heading right up to the old Frying Pan cache. Then it was back around Maitland, Kurri Kurri, down around the bottom of Lake Macquarie and into the event, followed by some night caching in Newcastle. Monday it was a couple of events, many different cache types and homewards. TFTC!

As part of a shortened Easter caching weekend, steeba and the Rats headed north to be part of the Geomuster mega weekend around the Lake Macquarie area. Traveling as far north as Frying Pan ck and down south to Doyalson we managed to find a good splattering of caches, including a new personal record of most types in a day.

Thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches, the interesteing locations and cache containers contributed to our great weekend.

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9523.

I’m fairly sure I have found a cache at this location 8 or more years ago, this was a very quick find today.

Thanks Apricity⁂ for the cache.

First of the day. TFTC

Quick find on my way to Barrington Tops.
TFTC Wilbert67

Looked on the wrong side of the road first before a quick find in a logical spot. TFTC

Couldn't find this one... Trying to combine hint with warning and considering all the snakes in the area lately, I didn't want to get down in the scrub. We were getting pressed for time, so left with a DNF.
