Found with deni_f. What a hoot. TOOT toot TFTC ozglory

Find#2813Some Hunter geocachers and myself have talked for a long time about coming to Kempsey to complete the slim dusty series. We achieved this goal and also completed the Tamban Trail, the fruit and nut series and now the golfing series in town. Todays goal was to get as many in Kempsey as we could. Log and cache in good condition Signed and returned as found TFTC

Well, this was interesting today we set out for the third time to check this cache mainly because we couldn't find it although others did. Finally, after 20 minutes we located the little sucker and replaced the broken and dilapidated cache with a brand-new, High tech steam train

The lily pilly's round here are the nice tasting ones. Cache was a whole lot of fun to get to as well. Fav point for the adventure. tftc

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Staying in Kempsey only 2 nights, today was planned around finishing the Monopoly series and visiting Smithtown, Gladstone and Crescent Head.Managed to grab a yummy pie and sausage roll at Crusty's bakery in Gladstone. Didnt try the cakes but they also looked yummy. Weather was kind to us today. [^]TFTC ozglory

I headed out in the geo-car for a few caches today.Decided to hit a few around Kempsey.I found your cache, MONOPOLY KEMPSEY (Railroad Station) today. Its a little worse for ware but I found it quickly. Log damp. Clue unreadable.ozglory, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

No luck here today. Checked a couple of locations I felt were likely, but also didn't get too adventurous as the residents directly across from GZ were busy packing a vehicle for a trip!

Had some difficulty getting to it but got there eventually

It was only after Mrs SKI got a bit adventurous that this cache was found. Picking up a few from the series we missed on our last visit.

After spending a day locked up in the caravan near Newcastle we made the break north to Kempsey in an attempt to get away from the weather. That worked for the day we spent traveling, and the rest of the day once we had arrived, but now the rain is steady and the ground very wet.
We managed to get out and do some caching yesterday with a bonus being catching up with our good friends Ozglory. When we went to one cache we just knew it had to be their place even though we thought they had moved elsewhere. Some more caching today before it just got too wet!
A good variety of caches including Adventure Labs, a Wherigo, Earthcache and numerous traditionals.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache ozglory.

Last cache of the day for me. I was determined to find this one and finish off the monopoly series. Fabulous series Ozglory. Really enjoyed it!

Couldn’t see it.

This is a previous find, but its is in a new location since I found it. Quick stop here today to collect the clue to the new final, HILTON HOTEL KEMPSEY
And yes I know I could message the CO because this is a previous find but I do like doing things the hard way
TFTC ozglory

cache checked and still in place

Come back

Covid19 allows caching again. With restrictions.

guess why. will enable when the drama finishes.

Another 1 bites the dust

Clue still valid

temporary disabled whilst we swop over to the upgraded series.

On a very humid morning while camping at the showground, sleep was almost impossible, so what better to do then find a few geocaches.
Nice easy find in the early morning dark, TFTC

Many thanks for putting this cache out do a scope of the area for the upcoming Mega July 2020 hope to see you all there love this cache nice to see something different fav from me

Found with kingfisher_au and shifter brains, another well made cache. A favourite point from me. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

Now that we have completed a round of golf, played in an NRL grand final we are continuing with a long game of Monopoly, that we started in June. We have now obtained ownership of several properties and hence clues to complete the game, still many more properties to go though.
Thanks for the hide ozglory.

After the nearby Event I thought I would a local cache or two before heading back to Tinonee. Stepped up to a likely hide, and then widened the search to about 3m south of GZ, and saw something a bit suspicious, and sure enough, it was the micro cache holder.
Had a blank sheet to sign, so it was nice to see that it had been recently replaced!
Thanks OzGlory

giving it one more go. will update coords.

The cache had been muggled at the old location and the tree it was hiding in has been savagely pruned

cache replaced at new location

Muggled again. will have to rethink this one as we can't keep replacing the container

I steamed past this great location today
All aboard for a cache find !! [:o]
An actual passenger train was seen an hour or so ago !!
The Brizzie-Sydeny XPT

By now the station was comfortably empty of muggles [^]

So a quick cache find between trains

Another one I had a half hearted search for and gave up. No hint provided so I wandered aimlessly for a few minutes and quickly gave up. It was cold and I was hungry--that's my excuse!! I'll return for a better look another time. Thanks anyway

Found on

GPS has me looking a the wrong GZ. As I widened my search was approached by a local muggle asking where the railway station was. Laughingly I was able to turn around and point thanks to the placement of this cache. Another nice little container. TFTC

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 while the weather is favourable.
We had to make a second visit here today because the first time there was a working group having their break close by. Second visit we had a person in a car close by so we went for a walk around the station and on returning they had left. At GZ we found a very interesting container. Thanks.

Staying in the Kempsey area for 2 days before heading south towards Morriset. A nice day today to go caching after all the rain they have had in the last week.
Visited firstly in the morning and located cache, however there were workers nearby sitting in their truck and looks like they were having a smoko. Decided to come back later to sign the log.
Give a FP for the design of this themed cache. TFTC

Finally time to get some caching done in Kempsey. After meeting ozglory we were keen to check out their caches and we were not disappointed. We are still working on completing this fun series. Thanks to ozglory for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

new cache holder in place till we can repair the old one,

Cache is still here and usable, unfortunately, the cache holder looks like it was hit by an earthquake. We will replace asap and take home for repairs. Please just be gentle with it till we get it done.

Difficulty ratings are only a guide and this was a great example.
The cache up the road by the same CO with a D of 3.5 only took me a minute or so to find, while this cache took me about 5-10! Doesn't help that it was dark by now though!

I kept on assuming the wrong elevation of the cache which made it hard to find, and I checked multiple places before finding it on my 3rd look at that object.

I can imagine it would stick out like a sore thumb in daylight however!

Today we travelled to Kempsey to find a few caches and complete the Monopoly series and the golf trail.
This was our 35th for the day, after a short search we found had cache in hand, very nicely camouflaged. However, it is slightly damaged and needs some repairs.
Thanks for the cache

Tftc. Soooooo cute.

Train needs regluing

Cache is indeed under stress. we will fix as soon as we can. The cache is still usable but please be gentle with the cache container.

Second for today. TNLN. SL ... possibly broke cache. Can CO please check. Sorry if i did

Tftc....

We arrived at GZ only to find they were celebrating 100 years of rail in the Kempsey area. There was a market, and vintage cars and people dressed up everywhere. Somehow we managed to get to GZ without being noticed. Quick grab, sign and we're out of here! Great camo Ozglory! TFTC

Log wet replaced log

Here with OK98BHNSW log was wet so have replaced it and put log in a little ziplock bag so it doesn't get wet

On an all-night geocaching adventure with MV on his birthday from Newcastle to South West Rocks seeking some FTFs and high D:T combos. We left Newcastle at 5:30pm and arrived back at 12 noon the next day. 42? caches, targeting D2:T2 and higher. Steady drizzle, dark, no sleep, higher terrain = fun

We were given the stink eye by a council worker while we searched for this. He parked his ute and idled until I returned to my vehicle. I think he thought I was there to get up to no good, but I suspect I probably convinced him I was having a wee behind the bushes (I wasn't) and not stealing the signs. TNLN TFTC

Reperio at 0415. Found in the company the_garbageman!

Well what started as an innocent look at a few puzzles in preparation for the upcoming HAVOC Incarceration camping event, soon turned into an impromptu all night caching run when we managed to solve all the puzzles.

As we pulled up to find this one, we thought this would be a simple park and grab, but a council worker soon put a stop to that. He sat and watched us for a couple of minutes before moving on, and with cache in hand, we waited until the coast was clear to replace it.

Gratias ozglory.

Confirmed by the owner as muggled and missing.
We've been given permission by the owners to log our find on the cache as we "found" the remains.

Cache replaced with new log and clue card

once again the muggles have struck. will have to re-think this cache.

Hi there ozglory,

RE: Your cache **"MK- (Railroad Station)"**

We found the camo quite empty today. Searching around, we found a partially squashed tube on the ground - also empty. The log sheet and any contents have disappeared.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Nice one! Love it!

We thought we would pick up just some of the Monopoly Kempsy series today. This was found without any problem even though travelling muggles were arriving to catch the XPT travelling north. Loved the outer camo which held what we wanted to find. Thanks ozglory for so many hides around the Kempsey area.

Very cool! Train!! BYO pen

We were staying at Kempsey on our way to Yamba so sampled some of the local caches. I really liked this one, it gave us a laugh and MrsFish took a photo as I held back flora. Thanks ozglory for a geat hide and excellent style with this cache.

This is my first find for the series, I loved the container
Didn't bring a pen along, Doh! Hopefully CO accepts the photo find.

Cache repaired and returned

Cute Camo, TFTC, I will use a generic log and go into detail at the final mystery cache. Picking up the odd cache in this series over my visits to Kempsey.

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.

Found on a day out in Kempsey with 'Doogle06'. TFTC

After not being able to find it months ago we gave it a go with a successful find
