Lean on me Laurieton, New South Wales, Australia
By Team Nurse Hayley on 04-Dec-15. Waypoint GC67QKB

Cache was muggled. Logging as found with CO's permission.

Due to multiple replacements of this cache and still seems to go missing, I'm permanently archiving 'Lean on me'.

Confirm what Canaroo and Ozryder found - only wires on the tree where GC should be.
With geokids Sushi and Stoffel.
Soli Deo Gloria

Seems to be muggeled!

On holidays at the moment and I'm unable to fix the cache, so I'll archive Lean on me untill I return.

We're from Bourke and will be unable to come back and look. We found two ties on a tree overhanging the swamp which we think marks where it was but there is no longer a cache there. Can we claim it as found with your permission?

My knees aren't good enough to climb even that little tree anymore. Ozryder did climb it but there was nothing there ... just two strands of wire. The CO should check to see if it is still in play. Given I'm from Canada and Ozryder is from Bourke, we'd like the CO's permission to log as found it we are in the proper location. And the tree was leaning. TFTC.

Co-ords were good so GPS lead us straight to it. Not the nicest place for cache but it was well constructed.
TNLNSL. TFTC.

Ah ha! No trouble this time. We are waiting for the start of the Sunday double at the wonderful Laurieton cinema and decided to see if this one was there again. Success! Another smilie face for us. TFTC.

We had a hunt for this one months ago (probably even last summer) but it was market day and mossie day so we didn't spend too long. This time it was neither and success was had. TFTC NurseHayley

Found the old container that was secured to tree branch earlier this year but failed to log.
Visited with a group of TB's and Geocoins that I retrieved both from Europe and locally.

Thanks for the cache It's nice to look for geocaches with you head on a different angle,

Finally managed to visit 'Lean on me' and replaced it in a more secure manner.
Hope this one stays, however it is now a little bit more difficult to find so the D rating has increased by 1/2 a Star.

Couldn't find this one.

Climbed every leaning tree, and climbed the prime suspect twice but no joy. After a few DNFs wondering if it's been dislodged in some of the wild weather in the last few months. Team Nurse Haley has been our nemesis today! Great peaceful spot though, even with the market on.

Well I have a feeling by the last DNF's the cache will be gone- I will be checking this cache tomorrow.

Missedya - Gave this a good deal of time from both sides but couldn't even see the cache.

And we were doing so well until this one. The GPS was a bit jumpy and it was hard to figure out which tree we were supposed to be looking for. There were only a few likely suspects but we must have had a severe attack of caching blindness for this one as we couldn't spot it anywhere. Never mind, we'll have to come back another day

It was a bit tricky but in the end we found it

We reached new heights

I can see it... But can I get it. Wish I had my granddaughter with me.
More to follow....

Wow, that was interesting
Thanks, I think, for the cache

TFTC, spotted it on approach but I was on the wrong side of the stream, quick detour and I soon had the cache in hand.

Was a bit tricky but eventually we found it. Thanks.

Caught up a tree. Nice walking track nearby. Hard with short lefs tftc

Great place for a hide. My foot slipped while climbing the tree so took a bit of bark of my shin but perservered and retrieved the cache. Stepping out of my comfort zone as I'm normally not a tree climber but glad I did. SL. TFTC. Favourite point from me.

Easy find, came in on the wrong side of the water but

A little bit of extra exercise never goes astray! TFTC

Tftc. Found this one on Easter Monday with the whole team. A nice little diversion off the path. Signed log and we were off again.

Nicely placed

One of my favourites! Looked right at it for a second. TFTC!

Today is the first Sunday of the month so no Market muggles, actually no muggles of any description. We couldn't decide which side was The Side and as we couldn't find anything at the first side we went to the other side. The other side was also proving to not be The Side. The only thing we knew for certain, one side had to be The Side! Almost to the point of going back to the first side when we noticed something. A tricky hide to spot and if you drop the lid like we did, an extra degree of trickiness is added. TFTC Team Nurse Hayley.

I thought i was looking in the right area, but I looked at the past logs and I too was on the wrong side, and found it soon after changing sides. Thanks!

Catching up with some very old logs. Found while out grabbing a few caches with Happy Feet. TFTC

In North Haven, catching up with family. We will take any opportunity to grab a cache, so up early to avoid muggles. Made a few attempts at this from different directions, made worse by high tide, before finding the correct path. Once finding GZ and the cache had geo hubby do the retrieval only to drop the lid in the water which then had to be retrieved. Pleased to finally achieved this one so given a fav.
Thanks Team Nurse Hayley for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Found at 12:57 PM GAFF1.
As Bart Simpson would say on seeing where the cache was situated - Ay, caramba! You call that a Terrain of 1.5!!! We would never have looked there if the cache description didn't give that little bit of advice
Ok - we have to admit that we started on the wrong side of the swamp, but it didn't take long to go around and we also didn't give the mozzies a chance to settle on us as we went around like the wind
Thanks Team Nurse Hayley.
Feedback: We would rate this cache a Terrain of 2.5. Looking back at the logs, Cookie suggested in December to up it to at least a 2.0. If this cache was correctly rated it would get a Favourite

Tftc good hide

19/1/16. 5:25 PM. Cache #3411. Streak day #576.
4th of 11 finds in North Haven, Laurieton & West Haven this afternoon.

Came here after finding "The Laurieton Lady", parking in McLennan St as close to GZ as I could get. I followed one track through the casuarinas, only to see I was 15m off an needed to be on the other side (unlike the Morgans, I didn't spot the cache from this side).

Back to the footpath, over the little bridge and down a parallel track to the real GZ. I looked around...now what? I'd already read the hint, but reread the description and past logs and knew I had to go up, and soon spotted the likely tree. Up I went, opened everything to sign, but dropped the lid below (thankfully low tide). Had to go down and up again to put the lid back in place. I walked over to "The Tennis Pro" from here. Good fun, TFTC.

Tftc no mozzies today

Great cache. Bit of a tricky climb. TFTC

Good work geoneice! Nice climb. Found with MK&LadyG. TFTC

Well that was fun TFTC good spotting from the other bank

Right side of the creek. Right on the money. We knew our rites. Tftc

Happy New Year.
Headed down to Laurieton to find the caches we had left for this day. With us were Team Kristie Morgan on holidays from Brisbane.
We parked close by & took the track along the creek, luckily for us it was the wrong side & we could see the cache from here. Back on the other side the cache couldn't be seen but at least we had nailed down the right tree, it was one of the younger cachers that claimed the cache.
Thanks for placing this cache Team Nurse Hayley

After getting to the GZ, found the correct tree for the cache. Think the terrain might be a bit higher than a 1.5. TFTC!!! #660

Down with DiMorgan so they could get the souvenir for the day and there are six caches they do not have.
Lucky we went the wrong way and it was a nice easy spot.

1430 GAFF1 (just using coordinates and Ratings). The first choice of 'side' took me close but right the coordinates for T1½ cache. It was only when I realised that if I went to 'the other side' that I would be even further away from GZ that I thought I would a decent Terrain 2 hide, and guess what I Found! A Terrain 2 cache. Dry and all good, but again unable to leave a CSM.
One less for the <50 km zone. Soon to work on the <60 km zone.

TFTC Team Nurse Hayley - Happy New Year!

Yaaay our first one !

first find for my partner and i

Fun one this one

TFTC Loosey, lol...

Hayley had been pestering me for days after returning from my holidays to Coffs Harbour to find this cache. No I said I wanted them to be saved for the New Years Day Souvenir but alas I gave into the pestering.
After some quick directions to the nearest possible parking spot. I am not one for a big walk that got me 50 metres of GZ. So off I went some dodgy covering up about bird watching as some Teenage Muggles (the worst kind aren't they?) meandered by.
Some prompting from Hayley I was hesitant to 'get on' I am not one for THAT kind of adventure. I found it and I must say great job Hayley clever little beroka! Have a favourite point.

A quick walk, climb and spot had this one in the bag quickly.
Thanks for the hunt TNH
