No whales for us to watch, however there were a number of seaplanes. As the cache notes say Harry's is a hidden gem. When we got our heads around the calculations last night, we made a quick find this monring.

Thanks to DiMorgan for adding this cache to the gameboard.

TFTC. A beautiful spot to come and explore. I loved the carved furniture here. I walked from Flynn’s Beach to here now I have to walk back. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley. A favourite cache and spot for me. I introduced a bunch of ladies who were walking to geocaching.

In Port Macquarie, catching up with friends. Was able to do only a few local caches but enjoyed those that I found.

Out enjoying the area with the CO. It was a great area to take in the views.

A favourite point for dear old Harry.

Thank you DiMorgan we found your geocache at 10:22 a.m. on the 16 February 2021. This is #6320 for us.

Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, jesswrigley and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.

Today, jesswrigley and I travelled from Port Macquarie to Coffs Harbour. We spent the morning in Port Macquarie exploring the beaches and completing *Port Macquarie Coastal Walk* Adventure Lab. We then saw some of the historical town and completed the *Make Way For The Commandant* Adventure Lab. We then made our way north, stopping off in Kempsey for lunch and a LGA geocache find, and then visited Nambucca Heads in the afternoon. We had scenic views at a lookout stop, and then a nice walk at the headland and V-wall. Finally, we arrived in Coffs Harbour, and did the obligatory Big Banana stop, and then walked around the foreshore jetty and harbour area.

This was another stop completing the coastal Adventure Lab. I collected the required number at the posted coordinates whilst admiring the views from the nice lookout, and performed the maths to find that the cache was only a short distance away. So on our walk back to the car, we went past GZ, and despire my initial fear that the area was a jungle, the hint became strangely helpful, and thus managed to find the cache reasonably quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks DiMorgan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

After doing the Coastal Walk, I got an uber back to pick up my car and did a few caches we had bypassed. A lovely spot for a wedding! The clue was a bit obtuse, but it got me there in the end.

Thanks DiMorgan

Thanks DiMorgan for this multi. Having a short holiday at PMQ. A few hours spent on Shelly’s beach - and a few caches. Having done Caravan Man decided to climb up to this one at Harry’s lookout- which did not disappoint at this time of the year. A few whales sighted off shore. Sign still available for multi workout. A short walk and the cool cache was found- all good - camouflaged ok.
Quick sign and replaced. Fav for the whales !

We're trying to increase our multi count, so we're always on the lookout for fairly quick ones! And this one looked in a nice spot. We found the plaque, did the calcs, ashamedly with my calculator, for some reason I seem to get year 4 maths wrong when geocaching otherwise? We then went in search of another multi nearby, which ended in a disappointing DNF amongst a truckload of leaf litter. We were pretty glad (and sweaty/dirty) when Samuel spotted the hide from the path. I rehid it as best I could, but I think the hide has collapsed a little, and the container is pretty visible.... might need a check?? We enjoyed this spot - thanks for bringing us here.....

We hadn’t really intended to hunt for this geocache, but then again, Ee hadn’t really meant to climb Harry’s Lookout . . . Somehow we ended up,here, so we grabbed the cache before returning to the beach and the coastal,walk! TFTC

While enjoying learning of the story of Harry and how well he was regarded by the locals we walked the lovely walk to this amazing lookout. What a beautiful location it is with a beautiful archway and a magnificently long table that was being utilised today by a large group of friends. There was a smaller table as well and both had grandly carved chairs at the tables’ foot and head. After spending some time enjoying being there we took note of what was required and made some calculations. Hoping our brains are up to scratch we headed off in search of the container to sign the log. Thankfully the GZ we’d worked out was spot on and having done some of this teams caches before we were able to make a quick find.
For our whole experience in learning of Harry, visiting his lookout and then finding a well crafted cache hide we are more than happy to award a well deserved favourite point here. Many thanks to the CO’s.
Cheers and happy caching!

. Another quick trip to port after the boss received her new gps. I truely thought we had found this cache many, many moons ago but no. So today we turned it into a smiley. We got the correct coords and headed off. Mrs oz went the easy way I did my Indiana Jones impersonation. Here I now stand cut and bleeding after a meeting with the only known African human eating vine to be found anyware in Australia. The battle was long and vicious Finally after loosing enough blood to supply the red cross with all they would need for Easter I stumbled from the vines clutches only to find Mrs oz quite unconcerned stating it should be near hear. I staggered around feeling the loss of blood closing in on me as I collapsed onto the leach infested ground I was able to call here it is. The last laugh was mine Mrs oz had to commend me on my finding ability and the leaches found no left over blood. Ha Ha beat you you little suckers. fav on way. 3167 3:32:00 PM DiMorgan without cachers like you we would have no game. Thank you. Took and left a TB SLSmile

We have headed south a few weeks early to have a little holiday prior to attending the Oz Geomuster Mega event. We have found ourselves based in Port Macquarie for a few days which has enable us to spend some time exploring some of the nearby towns. Razz

Today we were fortunate to have the cache owners show us some of their favourite places around Port Macquarie as well as finding a few caches while we were at it Big Grin We had a great morning, and found some very interesting caches along the way. [^]

We were guided to where the final location for ground zero to this multi was by the cache owners, but despite our best searching, we came up empty handed. Nonetheless, the cache owners have been gracious by allowing us to log a find and have added our name to log book of the replacement cache.

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

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 decided to do some caching along the coastal strip starting at Shelly Beach and working our way Northward to Oxley Beach. This was our 2nd find of the day, and 13th find of the holiday.

After finding "Caravan Mayor" we continued up the bush track to this one. Discovered more nice carved timber structures near the lookout, and it was interesting to find that it is a take-off site for hang-gliders and para-gliders, but none were here today.

Found the plaque and used it to come up with some final GZ coords, then headed off to final GZ and made a super quick find. It's a nice bit of camo on this one. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC DiMorgan.
