TFTC Found with MaryTomS

Up from Sydney for casual geocaching in the Mid North Coast and staying a few days in Port Macquarie. Our third DiMorgan cache in a row here and theyre all great. We have never met the CO but Mr Gaztek has taken to calling her a tricky or clever so-and-so. She is and we are enjoying her geocaches. Lets see how the rest of the day unfolds. SL TFTC Cheers Gaztek

Find#2243Found today after working my way with Shaneo58 on the way to Wauchope for a caching weekend. This was a very clever hideCache and log in good condition. TFTC

Very clever! Great history.Kiwisteve2 for the find. Coords were spot on. Heading north on our journey to somewhere. Day 2.Gets another fav!Tftc

Heading north on a mini roadtrip to pick off a few caches. Must say this had me puzzled for a little bit. Very clever little hide. TFTC

TftcI had a spare couple of hours while waiting in Port, so I headed down to Herons Creek for a change.Ahh sneaky sneaky. I almost overlooked this one.

Our second day staying at the Kendall showgrounds, and after the rain overnight, it is a lot cooler to go caching, no doubt the mozzies will be out for revenge after so many hot days.Another Fav pointTotal Caches Found 15374TFTC DiMorgan

TFTC. Almost gave up. But upon reading previous logs I had one more look. Another nice camo.

Very nice hide. The geo kids were so proud of themselves for finding this by themselves. Replaced the ziplock bag as it was abit damp. TFTC

very clever di morgan. not where we expected TFTC

Another great hide! Took me a while to find this one, had to be strong to get it. TFTC

Very nice hide, another favourite point from me. Outnabout for some solo caching. Its always a great day for caching. TFTC DiMorganFor anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australias only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria

Tftc took way longer to find than I thought it would. Great hiding spot

Log book returned

Another sneaky one
Thanks for the addition of the waterproof paper Rainbow Spirit
Log was wet so I took it to dry it out and will return it on Monday

Great hide. Luckily my caching partner, GinjaBeardNinja, is creating at finding Di Morgan caches.

Log book is soaked, I have added a scroll of waterproof paper, thanks.

We have been staying on the coast at Harrington to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria.

We are now heading north and grabbing a few along the way.

The container was found after a short search, once at GZ. Another good find on this trail.

Thanks DiMorgan for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Nice hide had me tricked for a while

A clever hiding place thanks for a fun find.

Found with Rach21 TFTC

Fun find! Not where we were expecting. TFTC

The best one so far

I nearly gave up on finding this, before I decided to have just *one more* look around. I had touched the camo several times earlier, it turned out, but just hadn't realised I could move it!

As per other reports, the cache clearly gets water inside it whenever there's anything heavier than a sprinkle, and while both the cache and the log were reasonably dry today, the entire logbook is now full of black mould.

I think one of the problems here was that the snap lock bag was too big for the cache - twisting and shoving them to fit in isn't good for their structural integrity or for maintaining the seal - so I replaced it with a smaller one which fits neatly. The log still needs replacing, but hopefully the next one will stay drier!

TFTC!

Took a little bit of head scratching before something looked a bit odd.

TFTC and greetings from Tassie

Skools out at the mo',
so no little muggles to pester,
just the moogle on the verandah

Awesome spot, mobbed by mayflay larvae

Did a bit of searching before I had it in hand. Thanks DiMorgan for the cache.

3rd for the day, clever!

Very nice spot and container. TFTC Fav

I put my hand on it and slipped on it

Cache container was a bit waterlogged. Have dried out the container and replaced the ziplock bag but the logbook is still very soggy.

Almost at the end of this series. We have enjoyed learning about the Herons Creek history and even the brush with celebrity here with Baz. Another interesting cache hide. TFTC

This was great. Loved the spot

Nice hide very good
Thanks for the cache

While travelling south again with ilook4geo, we decided to take a short detour off the highway and learn some interesting things about Herons Creek. The signs around the area are really good with a lot of interesting facts and stories. The caches were not too hard to find and were an interesting assortment of cache types and hides.
This one took longer to find than it should have as our GPS wanted us to look elsewhere. Eventually we shifted our focus and thought differently and then made the find.
Thanks go to DiMorgan for this fun series. We really enjoyed coming here.

Loved doing this series with goingplaces2. The hides varied, the containers varied and it was a lot of fun. TFTC.

A few caches around the Lorne area, and as far across as Port.
They collected a lot of ex-pupils for the 1940 reunion!
Thanks, Robmc.

Sneaky

Found with O319. TFTC

No luck for me here. With the 27 favourites I know it’ll be hard but just no luck. It is 41 out side and 18 in my car

I went with Fitzy_1965 for a long weekend drive up the east coast to Port Macquarie caching along the way and visiting several new towns and villages. A highlight was a get together with Pprass & Kat after a few mega 4wd climbs in the afternoon. Day 2 found us caching around Taree before heading to Wauchope for the afternoon. Several fun trails on hills, but a complete camping fail, so we ended up hiding from the rain in a Pt Macquarie Hotel.

These well camouflaged caches provided a real challenge and a great opportunity to see the information made available.

Thanks for the cache DiMorgan

**Albida**

21,932. Found during an epic trip up to Port Macquarie and back with albida33 over a 4 day weekend. Often signed as F65 A33.

With a loose plan on paper we headed off early yesterday from Goulburn and aimed to be around Taree for our first night in the swags. Drove straight through to north of Sydney (including through the new NorthConnex tunnel - awesome not having to do Pennant Hills Road ever again) and arrived in Taree and set up at the Taree Showgrounds. This morning after breakfast we packed up and hit the caching trail. This was the next find of the day. A nice quick find on a nicely set up cache at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then headed off to the next one.

Thanks DiMorgan !! Fav Point !

After a quite odd year, Hawko2017 and I decided a road trip to Byron Bay for a mates birthday bash would be a nice break. And if we could find a few caches on the way, that would just be gravy.

We’d targeted Herons Creek today, as there seemed to be a bunch of caches with lots of favourite points.
End cut & paste;

Another great hide, this time we found some wildlife as well. The frog was a little put out that we’d disturbed it.

Tftc.

Found with Azzepious,
Another great hide.. love the clever camo.
Big shout out to DiMorgan love this run of caches, this is how caching should be!

Found with nissan 65 on my way home from looking at a house at Glenreagh. Thankyou for the cache .

Really good geocache. Found with mum and dad TFTC

Found with Gazkersh and littlemisslonglegs! This is the first clue cache for us for the Mystery at the Museum. Excellent hide. Favourite point from me!

TFTC! A really cool hide

This was brilliant! absolutely love your caches~ takes a bit of thinking and searching! Wasn’t with Artemis for this one, but I made it sound so exciting on the phone that she refuses to let me show her where it was so she can find it herself! Thanks again!
~ Hitchy

Interesting place for a school, away from the town. The cache took a few minutes to locate. Mrs Shifter found it just as Mr Shifter was getting out of the car to offer assistance. Look at everything as the coordinates are very good, trust your GPSr.
Thanks for the hide DiMorgan.

Nice on. Gotta use you head

Awesome. Thanks

Found it. Thanks. I(wife) stuffed up one , but found this one. Easy.

I nearly gave up, I can see that I have to try everything, TFTC

We were expecting an interesting challenge here, and it certainly didn't disappoint. A bit of head-scratching involved. The GPS kept leading us to the right place, but we just couldn't see it, until ... bingo! Gets a fav for making clever use of original features. Tftc!

This one had us stumped for a while, until we trusted our GPS and it led us right to it, where we discovered the cleverly-hidden cache. TFTC!

With the creation celebration promo on i was going to be struggling to find caches around home to get the required number of points. Then as a coincidence i had to travel north for work. So i looked at the map to find some high favourited caches on the way There were a few in this area that i stopped and grabbed on my travels. I intially went to the correct GZ but then moved back to another structure. After checking it all over i went back to my orginal spot and tried something else. Nice hide. TFTC.

Have had these caches at Herons Creek on the radar ever since they were published but never seemed to get around to doing them. So when Bobbie suggested a day's caching I decided it was time to make the effort. The copy and paste nature of the logs in no way reflects our enjoyment of the day out, and the anticipation of the type of hides DiMorgan employs. Thanks for finally bringing us here. You have reached a new level of sneakiness with this one !!

Took a bit, but Pop came up trumps this time.

Cheers

I looked at the camo early on in the search but didn't investigate it.
These hides are getting interesting.
