Drive Carefully Wards River, New South Wales, Australia

I have been unable to get to the cache as explained previously and have since received a notification or expectation of getting on with it within a timeframe. I won't be pushed into something by that approach - consider it archived.

This one is definitely missing. Fairly obvious where it should be. Didn't spend a lot of time on this one. Lots of dnf logs and a needs maintenance.

There has been some road works in the area - in fact the last time I was driving by there were more works in progress, so it is possible the cache has been seriously disturbed. I will attend to this asap - at the moment though my car is 'broken.' Will get to it soon hopefully.

Believe it’s not there. In need of maintenance

Like previous logs. Pretty sure it's gone...

On the way to Gloucester for an afternoon caching. Stopped by for this one and found nothing. Needs a CO check to confirm if missing. Thanks particular kev.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Had an early morning drive while staying at van park and attempted this one while out but had no luck finding.
With the info and hint I'm sure it's gone AWOL. Would like the CO to do a check.

DNF the cache, found the spider!

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . Tftc

A quick park and grab on our drive north. Thanks for the cache

I have found a cache placed in exactally the same way called "whatwillaroodo" GC48B0V in N.T. on the Buntine Highway. But while we were staying nearby at Riverwood Downs over the Australia Day weekend, Daniel 2:22 and I decided to get a few local caches. This one was the second at 4pm. thanks for the cache particularkev.

A quick park and grab to start our day today. TFTC

Quick grab while travelling along Buckett's Way on a super hot day. Watch out for the large spider tucked in near the GC. That's not where it is Lovely drive and lovely country side.

Easy find to bring the days tally to 6 so far. Tftc

After a trip up to the Barrington Tops and back via Gloucester we made a quick stop for this cache. With it raining quite well made a quick find with the help of the hint. TFTC

Christmas geocaching down to Gloucester in NSW and back all within three days. In the company of Selva Girls, we found a total of thirty six caches, with fifteen of those being Mysteries - and all but two of those being Challenge caches.

We cached nine on Christmas Day on the way to Taree, ten on Boxing Day around Gloucester, and the remaining fifteen on the way back home on the public holiday.

After conquering the two cache up Buckett's Walk Trail, we motored south while cooling down in the GeoVehicle's AirCon. This was as far south as were we to go today. so we pulled off and a quick search from a good hint located the cache. A small step-up yielded the cache.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 4.20pm on 26th December 2016. TFTC

After finding my milestone cache, we decided to go for a bit of a drive and cool down in the aircon in the car. We chose a cache some distance away, but had to pass this one on the way there. We could not drive past and leave it unfound. At GZ, the cache was quickly located and a TOTT was retrieved from the car to assist in removing the cache from its hiding spot. Once in hand, the log was signed. We returned the cache to its hiding spot before returning to the cool of the car and continued on our way. TFTC

Found the sneaky little critter being guarded by a big angry critter SL; brushed the big critter aside and replaced ; TFTC

Travelling from Gloucester to Canberra after spending time with two friends from Year 1 High school over 50 years ago. This was a bit of a challenge but eventually the cache was found, name added to the log and all returned to the hidey hole. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find. SL as SG to save space.

Found with BillHill531 and my son on the way to the MID NORTH COAST CAMP OUT - COOPERNOOK event. After being told it would take five hours to do the two hour drive BillHill finally picked us up and we started our very indirect route (via the Buckets Way) to the camp site. Lots of different caches and only a few more ridiculous detours. Having a trailer towed behind us only made us think ahead a bit, not stop us...
This was at a turn off to another cache. I was ready to give up when BillHill rechecked a spot and found the cache. Still took a bit of work to get it out.
Thanks for the sneaky little cache!

Found on the way up to the Coopernook campout event, TOMBI! decided to follow the Buckets Way for some special caches. TOMBI! was about to give up when i felt something, tricky to extract without tweezers. TFTC

A quick and easy find thanks.

no go for me today

Found it on our way back from our gloucester camping trip.

We did drive carefully, right up to GZ, where MrsFish found that she did need me after all although she is not really height challenged. Thanks for the hide particularkev.

Saunders found 17/7/16

Found as we travelled from Newcastle to Walcha and places further north. Log signed as the wind blew and the rain started tftc

Found at 11:08 AM GAFF1.
Well we passed right by GZ as we were pre-occupied listening to a great song on the radio. We then had to go down the road about 800 metres and turn around with our looong van at a farmer's driveway and wave at the farmer's wife who was reading on the front porch - wonder if she thought we were visiting.
Got to the cache - held our noses for a few moments - something was dead nearby - and then we were off again and waved at the farmer's wife once more as we went by
Thanks particularkev.

Found by Phreddy of Newcastle. Couldn't find this last trip. Realised that it was because I am vertically challenged. Thanks for the Cache.

Today is the fourth day of our little holiday in Nelson Bay. We decided to take a drive along Bucketts Way for something different and to find a few specific caches when we noticed this one pop up on our GPS as we were returning to our accommodation. We found the cache easily and with our name in the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you particularkev for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

We had a really great weekend camping/caching in Chichester last weekend, I had the Bucketts Way half in mind as a way home should the time be available. It wasn't, so today we decided to drive and cache our way to Gloucester. We had a great day, noted a few places to come back to, and others to set off from in the future.... only 1 DNF too.....

Even after predicting what sort of hide this would be, and finding them before, I still missed it on the first and second looks! Thanks again particularkev

We drove up to Gloucester today to cache on the Bucketts Way. We found 9 caches, to get our total to 499, ready for 500 next week!
On our way to Hounddogs Bone now.....

Spot on co-ords and a short search led to the cache. TFTC

This brought back memories of doing the Tops to Myall Heritage Trail, 11 days of hiking over five weekends back in 1997, long before this cache was here. This visit was easier, and almost as much fun ...!! TFTC

Needed a stop

A quick and easy find with Weebindi. TFTC

Tftc. Our ninth of day. With the geowife reading some of the activity on this one, she mentioned an extraction tool might be required. Geohubby tried using fingers and managed to remove cache. So efficiently it went flying into knee high grass. It took longer to find in the grass than in the actual location. Lol!

Find Number 3474

The Booo's found this cache!

Had a good inspection with a TOT but alas no luck, appears to be MIA

Fairly sure I was looking in the right spot, and I am not short, but no luck here today

We were in the Gloucester area for a farm holiday and I was keen to pick up some local caches. But with the weather vacillating between 40 °C and 15 °C and wet it wasn't very pleasant caching weather. today was our best day, just as we were heading home. A quick and easy find.

Tftc didn't sign as had no extraction tool!

TFTC - signed log

Quickly found by parneq (I was too small). TFTC.

A quick park and grab on our trip from Armidale to Newcastle. TFTC. Found together with dule.

A quick find on a drive up from Newcastle to escape a scorcher in town. Air conditioning in the car copping a hiding! TNLN TFTC

You realy need an extraction tool to retrieve this one.
Thanks particularkey

Nice and easy

Found with O319. TFTC!

Alas for me it is Not Found. Perhaps I am too small of stature.

Wedding over and it's time to head towards sunny QLD & home.

Having attended a wedding at Mount Annan, in NSW, it was time to head back to QLD.
Wedding done & dusted we hightailed it north for sunnier climes!
Raymond Terrace was our stopover last night so a few local caches were a must before putting some miles behind us! LOL ...
A quick find & retrieval with right tool.
Signed & replaced as found.

Published

2005 *FTF* GAFF3 Again, while I was at work I had a notification of another cache being published - 53 km from home, so no great urgency (just trying to keep clear 50 km radius). But when another was published inside that zone and this wasn't that far from it I knew I would have to justify the petrol money by getting both. And it allowed me to check on an unpublished cache.
Went to a road I had been out on just 10 days ago. Found the likely spot about 4 m south of GZ, and looked carefully; then tried a few other spots. Only had the cache name and coordinates, and thought I remembered the T2 rating. Finally something made sense, and using a tool I made the discovery.
Unable to leave a CSM. Just "FTF Official Geocacher Badge-holder - GCookie" through for the discovery and mileage.
Will book mark it for the FDF Challenge, and the Night Caching elective #6.
Thanks for another well placed cache, particularkev.
