jacko2484 I found your cache The Nest Terminates Here on 30/9/2024, 1:40pm. This is my find 7084 and find # 14 today. Very well constructed and camouflaged. A favourite from me. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Wow what an amazing cache. Took us a while (like 20mins lol) but eventually found it. Kids did some swag swaps. Fave point.
Oh wow!! Really creative and fun as!!! I slipped over, got a leech missed spiders haha. All worth it.Thank you for all the effort that went into this!
After getting a message from CO while doing one of their others. Git to gz and spotted cache, could easily be over looked. Great cache design. Another FP On a caching holiday from Mackay. In the search of old caches and ones to fill DT grid spaces. Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment with mackay_geocaching. Have mostly had clear sunny days on our trip.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
On holidays from Mackay with alphag_25 dodging the weather as much as we can. We headed to Husk for a tour and now grabbing the local caches while we are here. After some prompting from the CO decided to pay this one a visit. Lovely spot and great cache! TFTC
Heading down to ride the NRRT and collect the caches along it. Time to hunt a few on the way there though. This one is well hidden. Walked by it a few times in the jungle.
Another favourite to add to the collection. Awesome work. [^]
So a plan was hatched with Peppa to visit the northern rivers area, grab some target caches and then finish off at a local night time event, sounds like a fun day.
We had a plan and that lasted all of four caches, just as a new cache was dropped in our laps. It turns out that today was the day for the launch of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, starting in Murwillumbah and finishing in Crabbes Creek. There were some new adventure labs and a new bonus cache.
We changed tack and headed for the new adventure lab and bonus cache. We had an awesome day and a very nice finish to the night was the catch up dinner event.
So with the new plan which is basically is just the same plan in reverse, lol. We headed off to this one, OMGoodness I rocked I rolled it and I played with it, lol. only the true skills of the jedi master can open this cache. Yes a favourite point for this cache. We singed the log and replaced as found, then continued with the new plan. Thanks for the hide.

There’s a event in Murwillumbah tonight… so Chamad and I made the decision to come down and show our support for the Northern Rivers and drop some cash into the local economy…
The Singapore Daisy is having a great time here…. When Chamad found out this was a large, it just had to be found… and despite him standing next to the cache failed to spot it… it obviously took my observation skills to locate the cache…
One of kind… well deserving of another fave point…
Thanks jacko2484

I walked past it before reading the hint and realising what if t was. Fantastic construction. Thanks for the cache
Door has been restored! Cleaned cache out and is back to its best! Happy caching!
Wow what a great cache. Def favourite spot for me. lovely area nice little creek. the contrapment was a little bit broken and we tried to fix it as good as we could. definitely couldn't find a button to open but the door was laying nearby so we attached and bolted from the rain
On our drive south today, when we finally got to cross the Queensland border into New South Wales as we had to Christmas in Sydney, we took a detour for this one.
We knew from the number of favourites, to expect something a little unusual and we did stop to really admire the container.
When we arrived at GZ, we could see that the door was lying on the ground.
I guess the weather has finally got to it. We signed the log, and then replaced the door leaning up against its container.
Thanks for the diversion on our drive today.

A quick trip across the border before it closes to grab some caches inland from Tweed Heads. What a great hide and an excellent repurposing of this kitchen item. TFTC

I’ve seen this cache for quite some time and somehow just never got to it,but today it was the main target and it was a goodie,a great idea for a cache and I do like the idea of the secret button but the hinges are getting a bit rusted away,but anyhow one of the best original ideas I’ve seen in a while.TFTC
I had one day to find the last 20 caches to reach 1999 before the end of the year. So today was the day. I found 7 by 1pm, wasn't looking good. Then the battery on my car died whilst I took a call. Duh!
But I managed to find them. Thanks to all the COs who hid these caches ariubd Murwillumbah and Uki. I had to stop when I found my 20 so I'll be back to find more caches soon.
This cache was the best find today. Fantastic work. Fave point coming your way of course.

Awesome find thank you... Access to cache is broken but still an awesome find loosing our marbles one cache at a time
Seriously cool cache to find! Even with the integrity of the opening being compromised. Lots of fun things inside for swaps! Tftc!
I’ve heard about this cache – all good of course, and I was in the area so it was number one on the todo list today. Beautiful area, the creek was running and sounded amazing – the waterhole even looked inviting. Pretty good for the middle of winter! But enough sight seeing, there’s a cache to find.
And what an excellent cache it is – cleverly hidden, nice and big and in great condition. Plenty of swaps too. This one needs a favourite! Thanks for an great cache!

Genius. Thanks for the effort gone into this. Lovely early morning driving.
Had an idea of what it may be from the name. Looked in wrong area first but then spied something in the distance that gave it away. approached from a different angle and immediately identified the cache. It was slightly compromised by the fact that as ScantMonster noted on 29/12/18, the cache needs maintenance. Otherwise, it is a great cache with a lot of time and effort to place here. The best selection and quality of swaps that we have seen. Picked up a TB and dropped one.A fave from us. TFTC Jacko2484, BenFolds7, Ashwandering.
Very clever. Looks like another favourite point to be added to the list.
Dropped a couple of tb's that I'd carried for a while.
Thanks

Really nice hide, may need some maintenance. Let Tamsolgus pick up coin, other bicycle TB was not in there ️
Really cool cache. I have picked up the coin to take it on it's journey. Unfortunately could not find the bicycle TB in the cach.
One of the best geocaches that I have found for a long time. Well doneA favourite point from me and I left a geocoin on the beginning of it’s journey.
Stortigirls, Mr Curious Quest and I were on an adventure across the border. Next on the list was this cache, I parked the geomobile close to GZ and we began our search. I spotted the cache quite soon, but couldn't get to it from where I was. Stortigirls was closer and by the time I made my way round, she was feeling for the hidden button. Once the outer container was opened, we were able to access the inner one and the logbook. With our names added to the logbook and everything returned to how we found it, we continued on our way. FP from me for this one. TFTC
Out on a caching adventure day with Selva Girls and Mr Curious Quest, we pulled up near gz and began the hunt. Selva Girls spotted the hide and I made mt way to it. Finding the button to open the hide as per the description, I soon had the log in hand, and all names were added to it. What a fantastic hide! Take a favourite point from us and tftc!
Today i was invited out to Tweed Heads with Selvagirls and Stortigirls to do some caching. A quick find was made, great cache. Our names were added to the log and on to next one. TFTC,
What a amazing effort you all have put into this cache. Thanks so much. Favorite point heading your way
I was passing through the area today and having found a great cache nearby in my last visit, I made certain to check what else was about. This one looked interesting, going by the description and past loggers recommendations, so it wasn't a tough decision to make this my target for today.
Within a minute of pulling up near ground zero I spotted something that didn't look 100% as it should, prompting closer inspection. Hmmm now that is interesting, I thought to myself, and I'm not ashamed to admit it took me another minute to find the way to open it. Ahhh, with a satisfying click the stash was revealed and I understood now what I was looking at. Fantastic work with this cunning concealment. Signed the big book and after checking out the treasure within put everything back in its place.
Thanks, no, big thanks to to jacko2484, benfolds7 and ashwandering for their efforts here. It's great to see this level of effort go into a hide, especially camouflaging such a big stash. Another well earned favourite point thrown on the pile by me. Nice one guys! Well worth the visit to this lovely area.

We've been enjoying doing some caching down near Stokers Siding and Uki with Pigwig2 and Agap2. This was our last find of the day before heading back to the Gold Coast. There wasn't a direct route here so we had to double back on our selves to reach GZ. Once here we were rewarded with a very cleverly and uniquely constructed cache. Wow! Loved it, it certainly sparked off an interesting discussion amongst us about how it was crafted. TFTC .
All good to go. Just finished putting the cache back with new log and some new goodies. Reason it has been out of action is because there was a major flood and most of the stuff got soaked. The major flood was in April 2016
caching with Herbz and Ms Wig near Stokers Siding and Uki, our last find of the day was definitely the best before heading back home. We had to make a diversion to get here. At GZ we found a very cleverly and unique cache. Fantastic!!
Very clever, thanks jacko2484 FP from me.

Wow, what a clever job you have done here jacko2484, extremely well made, very authentic and its without a doubt the best camo I have seen in ages, only wish I could give you more than one fav point Also pleased to say that there wasn't a termite in sight!! Thanks jacko2484 and TFTC
Came here and found this cache today and was duly impressed with its construction. A super job jacko2484. Very definitely worthy of another favourite point which we are happy to award. Thanks for showing us your clever handiwork and providing the highlight today for finding a well constructed geocache. We signed and left our signatures in the cache. Cheers! [^][^]
We were out for a drive and decided to do this on the way. Nice cache, fav point from me. TFTC
Had been out to visit a relation and we decided a long trip home was in order so we could find this cache. Love the work that went into it. TFTC
Visiting the Tweed for the weekend I decided to do a number of caches. Never been up this road before. Came upon GZ and found the cache. Took a while to open. What a fantastic construction and great use for something that has passed its use by date in its previous life. Giving a Favourite point. TFTC
First experience Geocaching with the kids & we loved it! Thanks Jacko2484 & Jacquir for teaching us about this
Taking my niece and her two boys out to learn about geocaching. Was a good one to start with.
Out and about in the area today.
A little detour to go find this one but worth the effort.
A fav point for your efforts here, what a great cache container. [^]

Went to do some caching with joojoo57. We kept an eye out for any slithering animals but luckily there were none although joojoo57 found a new leech friend! Great cache design.
Needed to find a cache for the day so talked Team Biffo into coming along but what a great help they were (not) until the very end. After the GPS not settling for a while I finally discovered GZ and thought WOW! what a container! And as a previous cacher said - the challenge was to find the button to open the container - when found it was an easy task to sign the log and put everything back in place.
The whole search time I kept hitting the ground to make sure snakes knew to keep away and had a hat on to stop ticks that might drop off the trees/shrubs. Seems all was OK until about an hour later, at home, after taking socks and shoes as soon as we got back to my place, I got up off the chair to take the nieces back to their place and I felt something on my lower leg! YUCK - a leech is having a great old time! One of the nieces pours salt on and leech is detached!
Morale to the story - if there is no storm or mutant fruit there may be a leech or two!
This creative cache is worth 2 favourite points but can only give 1.

We ended 2015 with one of your caches, so it seems only appropriate to start 2016 with your newest. Our New Years Day caching jaunts seem to always include awesome caches and this one did not disappoint. Arriving on site we found a number of geotrails, one of which lead us to a couple of isoptera nests. Careful examination made us realise that is not what we sought so I headed one way to search and the other part of the team headed in the other direction. I soon heard the 'found it' and had to figure out exactly where it was coming from.
My first sighting of the container was 'wow' what an amazing effort. The next challenge was figuring out how to open it with fingers carefully probing. For a short while there I thought I was going to have to log a DNF, after all if you don't sign the log you can't claim the find, eventually figuring out that I was at the back and when I switched sides I got it right. you could say that had I had the power I would have seen the light. What an interesting way to repurpose one of these. Great job Jacko2484, BenFolds7, Ashwandering this one gets a favourite from us.
Last night I spent some time searching the old newspaper archives for Urliup references. Here I learned that in 1935 a local man was killed when lightning struck the tree under which he was sheltering and in 1945 a Mr C Buttenshaw of Urliup grew a freak pawpaw. It was described as having three small pawpaws growing inside another. So the moral of the story is beware of storms in the area and watch out for mutant fruit. Thanks for the cache.

FTF!! All I can say is WOW! Wasn't exactly difficult to find but the construction and effort put into this is amazing. Beautiful local spot for me.
Took the DVDS and trackable. Left a coin donation and a toy car.
Big thanks and great work!
