Moonbi Rest Stop Moonbi, New South Wales, Australia
By Whitey Wiskas on 09-Jun-16. Waypoint GC6KD3Z

Looked around , but too much grass for me on my own to get through. Already seen two up the rd . Next trip

Thx

Checked and all OK. Try not to upset our snakes and if one bites you ,try not to bite him back, they are poiseness. Anyway its winter.

Dnf hint is too broad for the area

Didnt find it

Grass is way too long. Snake country.

Replaced Log

A lot of Longgrass to get through, but once we got to GZ, we found it was well positioned – not the needle in the haystack we were expecting. TFTC

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching

A bit of pushing your way through some long grass at the moment, but it's still here and all intact. Filled out the log

Replaced the log

Unsure if it was hidden by over growth, lots of misleading rubbish around.

Hint wrong

We are in Tamworth for a few days to break our journey home. Camped at the paceway.
Certainly plenty to keep a cacher busy here.
Day 2 , plenty of long grass in this series.

A short cache outing south of Bendy. In particular going for a FTF and a number of Moonbie caches. Quite successful, most caches found with one DNF and a few GAs which weren't there anymore.

Quick find, all in good order.

Thank you Whitey Wiskas for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Replaced the log

Found it. The grass has overgrown so has become hard to find.
Someone has unfortunately emptied the container.

Well we travelled to Moonbi today for a day of caching, but ended up starting at Kootingal, surrounds and ended up in Tamworth. Finally came back to Moonbi and got our first DNF after 29 straight finds. Grass is fence high along the boundary and just too long. On a hot day we thought best to leave this for another day due to the possibility of snakes.

Thanks anyway Will try again when GZ has easier access.

Out on a local discovery drive on a sunny day

Stomp stomp thru the long grass hoping that Sssssssid was taking note. But just me out here, it seems.

Found this one on the way back,muggle parked on the way up.TFTC

This cache we found when driving by, and it was well hidden behind the high grass.

The fence post was full of green tree frogs, pretty cool. The cache was pretty easy to find. Tftc

Heading home and grabbing a few caches.
This was one of them.

No, didn't try too hard as there were a lot of farmers friends prickles.

After a couple of busy days we decided to have a nice slow day caching with ilook4geo. This was the first cache of the day and was not hard to find. Unfortunately a lot of the farmers friends decided we were worth sticking to, which meant a lot of plucking followed.
The cache container and log were in good condition and the log was signed.
Thanks go to Whitey Wiskas for placing this cache.

It was time to move on again with goingplaces2. Nice easy find here. Cache retrieved, log signed, all replaced. Job done! TFTC.

This one was a bit harder to find & with the big storm rolling in had to make it quick

Cache is in good condition

Another wade thru rotten farmers friends...what we will do to sign a piece of paper...thanks whitey wiskas

Tamworth and Amrmidale Trip March 2020. Day 4. I headed north with Fitzy_1965 along the New England Highway towards Tamworth. Today we decided to stay an extra day around Tamworth and as far away as Uralla. The day was mostly roadside caches, but they were all of differing levels of challenges, especially when you have to deal with Farmers Friends and Stinging Nettles at almost every cache.

Thanks for the cahe Whitey Wiskas

Hi there Whitey Wiskas.

Today was a drive from Tamworth to Moonbi Lookout (and return), logging caches along the way. The caches we found were all well placed, and the for the most part had pretty accurate coordinates. We can see that a lot of thought has gone into the placement of all the caches we found today.

All up we found 21 caches & DNF'd 3 in this cache run. Thanks for placing the caches. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** A gold coin.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Thanks for this cool little find! There's some amazing rock balancing up in the distance! TFTC

A great little rest spot. Thanks

After a short search, found while passing through, tftc

Gotcha - Found easy enough.

Container won't last too much longer as it is disintergrating!@!

Today we left our caravan in Armadale and made our way down to Tamworth for a day of geocaching and sight-seeing. This was one of several geocaches we found today.

An interesting story as to how Moonbis' name might have come about, i had been wondering.

thanks

Ian & Sue - Team Pathfinder uses T.P. to sign smaller logs.

Easy find today. TFTC

The afternoon was warming up so it was appreciated that this one was a quick find. Now to turn back to Tamworth.

Travelling through Tamworth and staying for a couple of days. Due to the number of caches found I am doing a generic comment. Enjoyed the towns, villages and countryside and also the caches that have been placed. Thank you very much to the CO.

Stopped here in the shade to eat our lunch while travelling north. It was a nice surprise to find there was a cache here. Happily signed the log before travelling on. Thanks to the CO for placing a cache here for us and others to find. Cheers!

On our way home from the Oz geo Muster (MEGA) at Morisset and only going as far as Armidale today so plenty of time to indulge in my third best past time.
( Eating Chocolate and going places with Mrs YOF being #1 and #2).
Parked safe and walked over to area of GZ. Cache container is not a small film container but a tube and it was not on the ground but in thhe end of a log. All good here. Signed log sheet YOF as this is what I use on small log sheets to conserve space on the paper. TFTC Whitey Wiskas.

Decided to spend a few days in Tamworth with my geodog Scruffy, so we just had to get out and find some of the caches hidden in the area.
Pulled over to get my bearings for another cache, when I realised I was right on top of this one .. so quick find and we were off up the hill.

All Good .. TFTC ..

Thank you for the cache.

Great opportunity to get out of the car and move around a bit. Was a bit nervous about going into the long grass but ended up ok. Quick find and sign. Tftc

Found at 1:56 PM GAFF1 in the company of NurseHayley.
Looks like there is a bit of burning off at the nearby farm - very still conditions today.
Thanks Whitey Wiskas.

Found in the company of pprass- quick find- nearly finished for the day to travel back to port macquarie TFTC

Port Macquarie to Moonbi
Chose a rest area to camp overnight, left the caravan behind & went out to cache in the area.
The wattle is blooming giving a nice display of green & gold.
Thanks for placing this cache Whitey Wiskas

On the way to Sydney - detour for caches - loved country and plenty to see scene, animal etc.
Some of the cache was brilliant create. it make me enjoyed myself. [^]

Thanks Whitey Wiskas for organising the cache and hunt [^]

I'm heading home to Canberra from Brisbane where I was visiting my Mum who has just had a hip replacement. She is 92, and going great guns, with walking much easier than when I last saw her. As a domestic slave, I am had an easy time - Mum didn't need much care which is great, so I did a little geocaching and walking with my GeoSchnauzers. I spent most of my time walking with Mum and ferrying her around. Had to give her needles for a couple of weeks too. Brought back memories of daily injections for my deceased wife, for her multiple sclerosis.

I got away as planned at about 2:00 pm, making for Stanthorpe for the night. I get here, and stopped for the cache, to stretch my legs, and to walk the dogs. I was on this road a lot forty years ago, there was nothing much here then as I remember. Interesting spot now. The cache was easy, thanks for bringing me here.

Yesterday, I tried to book my room in Stanthorpe. No luck, due to something called a Snowflake Festival. Never mind, try Warwick. No luck. Oh dear. Tenterfield. One room left, got it. Hmmm. Thought I would drive straight there just in case, and just as well I did. The poor bugger was at least quadruple booked. His internet was down, except apparently for his Booking.com connection, so he was trying to find rooms for people. He got me one in Glen Innes, which was out of range of the festival. Never mind, less distance to drive today, and more time for caching.

There was no-one here, so the cache was a nice easy park and grab. The dogs and I enjoyed a short walk and a break from driving. Onya!!!

Find no 11 of 19 today.

Thanks, Whitey Wiskas

Had a great time at the Alice Mega and now on the homeward stretch so still looking for caches along the way. We may sign small log sheets as CG.

Muggles were close by so we pretended to be bird watching looking up in the trees and when the time was right we grabbed the cache which we could see already.

Log signed and replaced, now back up to the lookout to hitch up the van and off to Uralla for the night at one of our favorite camps.

Thanks for the cache Whitey Wiskas.

Find No: 6237. Visiting from Newcastle, on the way home from Darwin, thanks for the cache Whitey Wiskas!!

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...

Pouring rain today but that didn't stop us.

Thanks for adding to our fun Whitey Wiskas!

No one was about so a short walk and quick hunt led to the cache. Log nice and dry - thanks for placing the cache.

The rain caught up with us AGAIN! Almost drove past thinking the cache was in the rest area up the road, but stopped in time. The cache is dry and safe. TFTC

Not a bad place to stop for some lunch. No toilets though, but you can find them at the Moombi lookout - - along with spectacular views. Quick find even thought the grass seems long it is easy to get to. Thanks Whitey Wiskas.

Nice little drive up to Moonbi today might as well as grab some caches too.
Not real keen on putting my hand in there luckily there was a stick handy. TFTC cheers
