Only 200m from the hotel but I left this one for last. Took a few minutes as I was focussing on the sign. But soon spotted something out of place. Thanks for this one.

Best clue here was the terrain level.. thanks

Not to hard once we worked out the basic location i liked this one a lot
 
02-Jul-23
Decided to do this at night - it was my third time staying in a motel just a few doors down over the past couple of months, and I still hadn't come by this one?!

Had a good look around, wandered further into the reserve before realising the map was pointing me back the other way. Had a good look at a lot of things, got down on my knees to check thoroughly, and found nothing.

Decided to give it another go but couldn't be bothered with the thoroughness the second time around - and this time spotted the cache from a couple of metres away. Lol.

I like this design - the cache and the log are both in good condition, and I think the design is very good for keeping the weather at bay. Hope it lasts a long time!

TFTC!

On a road trip with Themongrel. Starting in Sydney and finishing in Brisbane meandering our way along the coast . Hopefully adding to my LGA tally to qualify for a challenge in Western Australia . Really enjoying the landscape as it’s so different from the west .
Some logs signed as N2O.

This is my 11247find.
Thankyou Staybe & Co for placing and maintaining this cache

A quick stop on our way to the geokid’s soccer game this morning. Pleased to see no one here this morning, as last time I stopped there were too many muggles in the park to search! TFTC

Heading southward today and diverted off the freeway to get some fuel in Kempsey. Having attended to that business I drove a round the corner to the rest area here to stretch my legs and what do you know? A cache is here to give me a bit of fun while I'm at it.
A short search and I spotted a likely hide and yep got the stash no worries. Lost my Biro somehow while wandering about so had to dash back to the car to find a pencil to get my name in the log. All returned as found and back on the road.
My thanks to staybe and co for hiding a cache here giving me a chance for an opportune hunt.

On a slow road trip to the Geomuster at Morisset next weekend. Staying at various towns along the way and collecting many smilies on the way.
Today we are caching around Kempsey before heading south.
Not a bus in sight when we arrived here this morning and after a short search we spotted this clever hide. Thank you Staybe & Co.
 
31-Jan-18
Even more caches around the Kempsey area for us to find. We enjoyed exploring the area and this was one of the caches we targeted and found. Thanks to Staybe & Co for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. Big GrinBig Grin Clever hide fav point alloc.

We stopped to have lunch at the riverside park here and was pleased, but not surprised, to see a green dot come up on my geo-map right where we were.

After having a bite to eat, I wandered over to check out GZ and straight away saw something that didn't quite fit its surrounds ... bingo!

Thanks for placing a cache here for me to make a lunchtime find staybe & co.

Today we travelled to Kempsey to find a few caches and complete the Monopoly series and the golf trail.
This was our 39th for the day, upon arriving at GZ something caught our eye and soon after cache was in hand.
Thanks for the cache
 
05-Jan-18
Took the trip to Kempsey from Port today to collect a few caches, we were focusing mainly on the Monopoly series, but if others popped up nearby then they were fair game too.
#21 for the day... Got to GZ geo kids thought they knew where the cache would be and ran off...only about 30m out. Thankfully with GPS in hand geo parents soon found the cache. TFTC

Gee, the North Coast is really turning it on for us at the moment. Day after day of brilliant sunshine, and with the temperatures in the low 20's it's just perfect to wander around the area collecting lots of great geocaches. We really appreciate the local CO's for all their hides.
Just a few more to find before we head back to the van to put our feet up. Another great day caching around Kempsey. Thanks to everyone for their hides

Hi there Staybe & Co.

We found your cache **"Kempsey Bus Turnaround"** at 11:18:00 AM today. (This makes our total find count 17516).

Our plan for the day was to finish the game of Monopoly that we started a couple of days ago. Little did we know that it wasn't possible to finish the game so easily, because we kept getting side tracked. Wink

We had a most enjoyable day & found 26 caches in a variety of container types and sizes (& DNF'd 2). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.

As there was no-one around when we drove past, this cache just yelled "come and find me"!

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

A short walk after a day's work during this short visit to pleasant Kempsey. It didn't take long to find, but that was largely good caching instincts - it's a clever hide. I spent more time trying to manoeuvre my phone into shedding some light while I signed the log. TFTC Smile

What a great hide and cache. I can put my hand on my heart (instead of in my pants) and say this is a great cache to be had if driving through the town.

We we lucky to park right next to GZ and the geodaughter and I were on a mission to find it and came up trumps quickly. tffc

Not quite ready to hit the sack and there's a cache 200m away. So a late night wander and quickly spot something suspicious. A quick find but only just managed to sign the soft, damp log. Thanks Staybe & Co.
 
19-Nov-16
On the way south to Newcastle we stopped here for petrol.

Purple as is customary, checked for a near-by cache and one was very close.

We took a while but eventually there it was.

Nifty hide/cache.

FP awarded for its simplicity of design.
