A trip to cache around the mid north coast of NSW via the southern tablelands. TFTC.Nice offset with an excellent camo on the cache.
Outnabout for some solo caching. A spot Ive been keen to visit. Certainly wasnt disappointed. A favourite point for location and the hide. Its always a great day for caching.

Coming from the beach up to this cache blind without having read any of the descriptions, we had the wow factor of stumbling on to the cool setting there.

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.

Couldn't resist doing this multi cache while attending the event very close by. Numbers worked well and a nicely camoed cache was soon located. Great ocean views from the lookout area. Thanks for this cache placement go to DiMorgan.
An event and a cache within a stone's throw. That was a bonus. Cache was soon located, log was signed and all was replaced as found. Thank you to DiMorgan for placing and maintaining his cache.
Info located and sums done after testing a wee while. Such a tranquil location. Loved the camo at GZ tftc
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.
Another great port Mac multi. Thanks for taking me to this excellent location. Clearly Harry was an interesting character who would have loved this cache I am sure. TFTC
TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Great hide.
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.
Thanks DiMorgan for placing the cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

Well disguised and very natural looking. Thanks for cache and partner in find jsjvaughan
Thought we'd knock this one off while at the doctors. Mrs coongoola found this one and received bites from something for her trouble.
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

Found with SJG66 on a 4 day stay in PMQ, today we walked the coastal walk from Tacking Point back to the breakwall where we were staying. Thanks to all the CO's who have placed and maintained caches in this area, it made our stay very enjoyable.
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 !

Ahhh 15 years ago I got married up at Harry’s lookout. Such a great spot on a beautiful day like today. Thanks for placing a cache here dimorgan!
While out completing the nearby Adventure Lab we remembered that we had solved this one a while back so we found it before we headed off for afternoon tea at Sea Acres Cafe. Cache was located very quickly. We love visiting this area.
Thanks for the hide DiMorgan.

Out trying to complete the new Adventure Lab, stumped at this stage, thought we would get the information required for this multi, walked to GZ, scratched our heads about the hint, but I soon remembered I had seen something, quickly had CIH, stamped log and replaced, thanks to DiMorgan
Find No: 7996. Visiting from Newcastle, staying at Bill & DiMorgan's for their Australia Day event, found with Liz and Bruce (and CO), good camo, gets a favorite, thanks for the cache DiMorgan!!
Found today while out for a cache finding trip, had an awesome time visiting this location.

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.....

Nice little climb from beach to lokkout with spectacular views. Quick math & nicely hidden box was easy to find.
A lovely spot and nice cache as usual! Hitchy and I blew some bubbles while some muggles wandered past

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
out with cache owners, while visiting from QLD. Heading to SA for xmas. Brought us here to look out over towards the land of the long white cloud. No luck today, maybe I need to get my eyes checked. TFTC Bill nd Di.
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!

Found it with greenharry and shelbyken. A nice find Harry’s lookout with Harry! Nicely hidden cache that almost stumped us, but we found it! TFTC
After another visit to the Koala Hospital this looked good and was not too far away so headed over. Nice view and interesting seating. The offset was quickly worked out the hint made sense as we got close. Nice camo. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.
Lookout Harry !! [:o]
And after a visit to this interesting,
and decorative spot,
I soon had the coords for GZ worked out
Off I wandered back the way I came.
And a short foray into the scrub,
got me a cache find in paw [^]

. 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 SL
Thanks for the multicache. It was a fun lttle adventure. I love the effort put into the container. TFTC
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.
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 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

Completed as part of my walk around shelly Beach. Great view. Disappointing that you cant fly a drone around here as it would capture some great footage, but fun to look for a cache. Lovely walk up from the beach.
Always love caching around the Port, the scenery is stunning. This was one of the caches we targetted and found. Fav point alloc. 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 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.

We were all very excited to find this one - from what we’d read, DiMorgan sounds like a bit of a guru....
Second day we managed to find this well discovered cash... took the long way.....
Nice Lookout over beaches and rocks and one of the few that’s architecturally decorated
Thanks for sharing this spot

Found when I was up at Port Macquarie during long weekend. Great Multi was a cool cache. Loved it. TFTC
Good excuse to visit Harry's lookout and try to spot some whales, then return to get the cache. Great place to visit for locals and tourists alike.
