UNE Campus Micro Tour - Mary White Madgwick, New South Wales, Australia
By magpiecottage on 24-Mar-15. Waypoint GC5Q0YZ

Found 21/11/24. Well hidden, log appears to be full, TFTC.

Took a really thorough search, but found it in the end.More caching around town today but complemented in the morning by a return visit to the Aboriginal Cultural Centre & Keeping Place where we again met up with the Director who spent a lot of time with us looking at the artwork and explaining aspects of culture and community. We both learned a lot and were really grateful for the time she spent with us.Then more caches, a lunch in town and then on to the University where we again cached and explored.Some great hides and sights such as St Pat's Orphanage and the Armidale Teachers College and a variety of Hogwartz style buildings were highlights.As a teacher in a past life I can't help thinking we got trained on the cheap!!Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache .**SKI Pair****

Tftc sneaky one

Day 2 of caching in Armidale, we were going to go on our bikes, but decided to take the car. Should have stuck with the bikes around UNE.Our first for the day, up and down we went checking everything we thought but nothing. We had resigned ourselves for a DNF, when Mrs Snakepitter spotted. Nice to start the day with a Smiley rather than a sad face.Total Caches Found 16002TFTC magpiecottage

Quick find for a nano - TFTC!

Mum and Dad both earned a degree through UNE, though we were rarely on campus as we studied online. Decided to take the kids for a wander through the campus and complete the microtour, which made for a lovely afternoon.

A nice easy find. All the muggles were distracted by their attempts to photograph the colourful leaves so it was an easy retrieval and replacement.

Thanks for the Cache!

Gotya.you little blighter. TFTC

Visiting Armidale for the first time, really enjoyed seeing everything the town has to offer and the beaut assortment of clever hides. Well done to all the CO's.
Timed my visit to perfection here and was in & out in a flash.

Decided to head out this evening to find a few more caches on foot. Took slightly longer to locate this cache than it should have. TFTC

Came to Armidale for a few hours of Caching. A quick find was had at GZ

TNLNSL
Thanks

Have really enjoyed my walking tour of the campus, wish it had been a bit clearer a day TFTC

Here on deployment for the NSW fires. An afternoon off before heading out fire fighting tomorrow. Spent some time wandering around campus grabbing some caches. TFTC

Strapped it

Found while caching around Armidale. Thanks

Found while on a geocaching holiday with tmann421.
Enjoyed the trip around and all the great hides.
Stamped TM/WW NZ, or if in pen our full names

Another day of fun driving / walking around the area with woolwood9.
*More good caches found along the way* **TFTC**
Stamped logs as TM/WW NZ or our full user names or tm421/ww9 in pen.

We wanted to get these done before it got busy - even at 7-00am there were quite a few muggles in places but searching was generally pretty easy.

New log sheet for this little chap.

Another night caching trip for my daily. Quick find & sign. TFTC!

Nice easy find on a lunchtime walk whilst here for a res school. Gotta love the chance cache finds ehen you getthem. TFTC

Found...with help from BushDetective. Seems its moved a few mtrs because of a new sign. TFTC

A bit harder than I thought it would be. There's a rusty bolt - but no that's just a rusty bolt. But found eventually. TFTC

Found while out doing a test cycle on our new Evites thanks

Only now as I log these in,I see these caches were numbered,of course I parked at seven and went backwards to one and now this one,walked all the way around and still intend to walk down to the lake.TFTC.

Perfect day for exploring the Uni. All the students have finished for the year and we seemed to have the place to ourselves. This is a great series of caches, all were quick to find due to accurate coordinates and helpful hints.
Thanks for placing these caches here.

Hi there magpiecottage.

Travelled from Stanthorpe to Armidale today, actually the wind blew us most of the way. We lost an hour due to daylight saving, but that's a good thing because we can now get up with the sun at a reasonable hour.

All up we found 8 caches & DNF'd 0 in this cache run. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache about 5m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Visiting FootyFanatics for a few days and slowly ticking off the caches in the area. This seemed like a great place to visit and do the series. Started with this one out of sequence but it was the first one on the road as we approached. Being a Sunday nobody was around today so didn’t have to worry about muggles. TFTC.

Spending a couple of days caching in Armidale, cold and wet but still having fun ..

All Good .. TFTC ..

Container is in place, just checked.

Well I think I found it, but there was no log to sign, actually just a magnet and no container

FurstyFerret and I went looking for a few of these UNE caches yesterday - he has found most of them in the past but was at a loose end and drove me around to avoid the parking fines. I had to do the leg work!

Took a bit of finding this one. FF hadn't found this one - we were just about to give up and he spotted it in an unexpected place.

TFTCs

I still have a few more to do - might get on my eBike in a few weeks and find the rest .

Wandering around the campus with my geobuddy, jasmr. I'd found all of the UNE caches earlier but this one was inaccessible then. We very nearly gave up. The iPhone was really jumpy here for some reason, but a final glance as I was making my way back to the car revealed the cache.

Thanks so much, magpiecottage, we've got a few to go which will mean another trip to Hillgrove sometime soon.

Cannot replace at original GZ due to new structure, so replacing as close as possible nearby.

cache replaced, happy hunting

Sign has been replaced so need to replace cache next chance I get

I think this cache may be fenced off for awhile. I did have a quick look at 2 sign in the GZ but didn't find any nano's. If it is on the structure then it can't be accessed at the moment.

TFTC

Quick find. Such a beautiful day to be visiting the Uni. We both studied and worked here in the 80s
