Morning doggy walk, morning paper cache! Thanks guys for this cache, a high quality cache as I've come to expect from Di and Bill. After glancing past the container once or twice, I found the alternate cache laid in this area, but it had a hole in it. Soon after, I found the target cache.Favourite point from me
Nice quick find with only minimal bush-bashing required. We got pretty lucky with a lack in muggles especially for the time of day (afternoon strolls). Amazing camo, as many others have noted. TFTC!
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Staying in Wauchope for a few days. We headed to Port Macquarie today and we must thank DiMorgan for fixing the weather, today was great, not too hot, NO rain, gentle breeze, what more could we ask forWay too many caches here for us to tackle. Picked up a few as we toured Port Macquarie being our first visit here. Lots of crafty caches and so many fave point dished out today. Wow we DNF this before the event but the CO was kind enough to give us a hint so we returned. It still took a bit of searching. Kudos to anyone finding this without any etra info. wow just wow. TFTC DiMorgan
TFTC and a nice area to explore. Out geocaching with my daughter Belbird Darl. We are staying at Flynns Beach for a week and visiting from the Hunter Valley. Nice camouflage.,
Went to attend the ant problem, but it looked like they have moved home. No ants here now
Need help he said it stocked out like a spare thumb to me it didnt but a really smart find
Found it but unfortunately ants have decided to take over the container and make it their new home. Required owner’s attention as they seem to have eaten away any form of a logbook that was inside of the container.
Photos to be sent through to GO but will return container to its location for maintenance TFTC and hopefully the ants don’t take over again

Ants have taken over the container and the log has now been reclaimed by nature. Attention required. Ants seem to bite
Such a lovely little walk and beautiful flora +fauna <3 kept our distance and a cute young koala crossed our path. Not the possum box or handmade hanging nest box guys. So very creative, never seen a cache like it! love it. Found with Subigirl and imprezzive tftc
This one was so cool! Spent a fair while looking but so worth the find! Absolutely love the idea, blends in so well! Well done DiMorgan!
Little Geo adventure with Short Tea and Subie Girl before I head back to Sydney! ️

A beautiful winter’s day , tyfc took awhile but Imprezzive came to the day with an eagle eye , she spotted this very well camouflaged cache .for creativity Not far from the path Short_tea15 heard some rustling & told us to stop . And there before our eyes
Found 25/12/22 with JessYoung96.
Definitely a clever cache and worth looking for. Loved it.
Annoyingly got back onto the path and found dog poo on my shoe. To add, the mozzies were getting to us too .

Container found but in plain sight and cracked with lid missing. Nothing to sign. SUch a great idea for a container, and cool to see some thought and effort into it. But now it needs maintenance

I aimed my morning jog past this point. There were quite a few objects matching the hint, but it didn’t take long to spot the camo - impressive! TNLNSL TFTC

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. nice hide and camo.
Found cache opened and emptied on the ground. Put back where we thought it came from and have messaged owner to double check. Lovely little track to walk with the doggo!
Quite wet and muddy. Not suprising giving all the recent rains.
Cool camo. TFTC.

With looming weather, we shot out for an afternoon cache run, heading south to Lighthouse Beach to start. We battled light showers on and off, and found 17 caches (some rippers too), without a DNF.
This wasn't on the initial list we'd made, who knows why? But it was spotted on the GPS, and we diverted, and a ripper it was too. Samuel spotted it again..... Very impressed, a video was made to show mum and Oliver, worth an FP (and I think I'm going to borrow this idea! ).... TFTC!

Found with Gazkersh and littlemisslonglegs! Fantastic cache! I owe you a favourite point ️
Cache in good order but pencil needs sharpening, will drop back soon and do that. Thanks for the cache
An interesting update to the old hide

So I knew it wouldn't be a sistema or mint tin at the base of the tree. With that in mind it didn't take long at all to locate the cache. The camo is wearing out in parts, making it a little easy to see.

Another one that caught our eye as we headed back into town. Reception was not good under the trees but after a bit of looking something was soon spotted and it was the cache. Not sure it is attached properly but soon we had our names in the log. TFTC
Found. Once again a Di Morgan clever one. I returned to the same tree three times before I spotted it. TFTC Di
Uh Oh !!
As I strolled to GZ,
I spied a "Landcare" van parked nearby [:o]
Sure 'nuff the team were rooting around in here,
spraying weeds,
digging out weeds,
and putting wubbish into bags [^]
Fortunately they were just far enough away so I could stand around for a while and spy the cache from a bit of a distance [:o]
Yeah !! Look close people,
there is something definitely out of place here
I snuck in unnoticed and soon had the logbook signed
TFTC.
Fave dance time [^]

Great camo for this cache!
You don't need to go too far off the track to find the location.
Found with geokids and friend after geowife spotted the zone.
Beware of the mud and spider webs

While others had a quick find, this one took us a while. Partly because of muggles, but mostly due to another DiMorgan camo. Thankfully, we had Geowife with us with her excellent spotting skills. All in good condition. Thanks for another great one, DiMorgan
Always love caching around the Port, the scenery is stunning. This was one of the caches we targetted and found. Fav point alloc for this creative hide. Thanks to DiMorgan for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
We have travelled up from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Port Macquarie for our annual summer holiday, camping in our Jayco Swan Outback camper trailer at the Breakwall (Sundowner) Holiday Park. Today we went for a drive down to Lake Cathie and returned via Lighthouse Beach, collecting caches in the areas we passed through along the way. This was our 3rd find of the day, and 74th find of the holiday.
Parked at the entrance of the reserve, then ducked in for a reasonably quick find of the very nicely camoed cache - nice placement and blends in really well. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC DiMorgan.

Had a quick find at GZ of a another well camoed DiMorgan cache. Cache and log are in good condition. TFTC.
Another glorious sunny day for some Caching. What a lovely walking track and reserve. A quick find was had at GZ and many thanks for bringing us here. TNLN SL TFTC
We are currently on a break from winter in Victoria and have taken the opportunity to check out lots of lovely places on the north coast of NSW. We got as far north as Coffs Harbour before turning for our very leisurely drive back home, stopping every 50 km or so and taking the opportunity to grab as many caches as possible as we go. The beautiful warm weather has returned after a few cool and windy days.
We parked the car and headed off to GZ with some trepidation until we checked the description and found this one was a small and not a micro. Paperbarks and micros ring all sorts of alarm bells.
Just the same it took quite a while to find this clever cache. Very cool! A favourite from us!
We have hit our favourite tally pretty hard on our sojourns round Port Macquarie, but it reflects the class of the caches in the area.
Thank you Bill & Di.

Hi there DiMorgan.
We found your cache **"Paperbark Remastered"** at 1:49:00 PM today. (This makes our total find count 17418).
Today we cached around the 'burbs of Port Macquarie and found 9 caches in a variety of container types and sizes (& DNF'd 0). 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.
We awarded this cache a favourite point for the ingenious construction.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards

While dodging raindrops and splashing in puddles a quick search found the goods not where i was expecting love the cammo
Very creative, the girls screamed at the cockroach inside hehe....Tilly, Tayah and Layla
Found this sneaky hide while catching up with other family and friends in the area. The cache was found on dark which made it a little tricky to locate but the mozzies had no trouble finding us. Thanks DiMorgan for the hide, nice work too!
Visiting friends nearby, so we had to grab this one. A short search and the hide was located. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.
In Port Macquarie for a few days, taking the opportunity to grab a few caches this morning. I had found this on a previous visit but obviously not logged it, but it was another quick find tonight but got eaten by mozzies.
Thanks DiMorgan for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

A while back had a chat with CO about the original Paper Bark cache and when I saw this pop up I was very interested in the new version, Well done another great cache Luck was with us today and we made a much quicker find than expected TFTC - The cache has also been taken over by ants at the moment who seem to have made a nest in it
Found the remastered paperbark a lot quicker than we found the original. Not saying it was easy, I think it was by accident. Great camo, Well worthy of a favorite point.
Didn't have much spare time for caching today but needed a find to earn the souvenir, this cache has been on the radar for a while so today was the day. Parked nearby, made a fairly quick find of the well crafted cache, well done once again bill and di.

**# 14388** Found on our extended 2016 winter escape trek .
A nice day for a drive around Port looking for caches.
A very crafty hide that I remember from other similar hides.
Not many muggles around here today.
Thanks for the cache DiMorgan,

We found the original Paperbark many caches ago. Today we were on the hunt for the new and improved version and the compass was pointing not too far from where we were parked. You'd think with the massive clue of the cache name this would be a quick find.....not necessarily in this location. But the great co-ordinates took us to a likely GZ and one of the most cleverly simple hides. We loved the previous Paperbark but the remastered eco version is awesome. TFTC DiMorgan, fav from us.
We are supposed to be getting some groceries. A few caches on the way wont matter. I think with all the rain this one was a little broken. Easy find. Shouldn't be though.
