By grey team on 27-Jun-17. Waypoint GC782PH

Day 3 of my fortnight+ road trip up to Brisbane and back to Blue Mountains. Early morning geofind. Ok way south towards some difficult hides, being targeted. Thanks grey team for this welcome stop and this letterbox geocache.

Two swiss guys on our Australian trip . After travelled from Darwin to Perth over the GRR, now on the Eastcoast .Starting from Cairns, Port Douglas, Airlie Beach, Platybus Camp and Bush Camp Broken River, Graignesh, Maryborough, South Nanango, Noosa, Brisbane, Grafton, Sout West Rocks and now somewhere on the road to Sydney .Some other rainy day .Just found a sunny spot right now .A real bushwalk . The box is not anymore in a good shape. But still worth a favo out here .TFTC# 18'126

Find# 12242Nice quick find.Favourite point awarded for the actual letterbox. The mouse living inside the cache wasn't very happy with our visit.TFTC grey team

Thanks for the Mailbox, my first one, so I'm not sure what it's about, so signed the log and replaced left a swap and took nothing.

TFTC,Plenty of scratches on the way in and good placement. First name I saw on the page was Mr&MrsFish, they get around.Added a favourite and visited trackables.

After getting over all the fallen logs and bush, quick find on reaching GZ. Stamped the log and replaced. Thanks to CO

Well I really should've rethought my approach to this one. Under, over and through I went. I'm sure I picked the hardest way to access it. Made it out a darn sight easier. TFTC

Heading home after a Xmas journey to Mexico. This cache was a quick find at GZ. All good here.

Found in perfect order.

Tftc nice open bush once past the edge of the track. Lovely cache container. Left some swaps. Found with red_ear_slider

Bit of bush wacking to get to this one but found easily non the less with Portstevo. Tftc on our boxing day adventure

Once you find the path in and get past the first few meters it's all good. Nice letterbox. Tftc.

We could not find a way in Trail blindness [?] Thanks for the afternoon stroll anyway.

This cache looked quite accessible from a track I have used many times, but at the closest point the bush looked almost impenetrable, with multiple tea trees blown down. However, I did get past them and immediately spotted the letterbox and logged my find. Returning to the track was no better by an alternate route, and I had to get MrsFish to call out to help my direction. Thanks for placing this letterbox, which is now probably much harder to reach than when first installed.

Found with nissan65 . Nice hide. Thankyou for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Found with cullum68 on a day of caching thanks for the cache

Find No: 9130. Visiting from Newcastle, staying at North Haven Caravan Park. Well that was a killer, talk about bushbashing! Thought I was taking an easier way out but ended up on the 4 wheel drive access road (should have come this way in the first place), finally found my beloved waiting for me on the track, thanks for the cache grey team!!

My husband and I are down from Brisbane stating at Tuncurry for a week and today I dropped him off at the races and am finding some target caches. I love a letter box cache and this one is a great one. I enjoyed the walk along the trail to GZ where i soon spotted the cache. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Tftc

Spooky trail, but i'd like to see the rest one day.Logged with [GCDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gcdroid).

On a trek early this morning from Lake Cathie to West Haven via the coast (20.41km), over from WA to see my folks and trying to clean up some caches within walking distance before we head home tomorrow!

Managed to get 12 finds and 3 DNFs over the course of the morning..... absolutely beautiful Spring day with a magnificent sunrise over the beach to start us off!

Love a letterbox in the bush! Bit of a bush bash to get here and some dead fall to clamber over but nice easy find at GZ!

Thank you for placing and maintaining Tree Mail Letterbox grey team for us and others to enjoy!

What an awesome part of the world it is over here, cannot wait to come back again!

This letterbox was located after a short bit of (bush bashing) All seems good with the cache and contents, log signed . Thanks grey team.

We posted our letter today. As we didn't have a stamp, we left a smile instead. Tftc

Our first letterbox cache! Found and retrieved a trackable to continue it’s journey! TFTC

found with a little difficultly but was a good hide

Having a caching day with ozglory and bobbiesgirl while staying in Kempsey. Came down this way to explore an area none of us had really cached in before. Signed log as JOB.
After finding the path to walk along we ventured down the trail and looked for a space to venture in. Great to find another LB - thanks.

found with joojoo and bobbiesgirl. a beautiful day to be out in this beautiful country. tftc sl
fav on way

Beautiful day to be out caching. Found in the company of ozglory and joojoo57, log signed JOB to save space. We eventually found what looked to be the right way in and sure enough it was. Great directions made an easy find. FP simply because Letterbox Caches are a rare thing and I just need a few more to complete a challenge. Many thanks grey team.

I bushbashed my way in here, jumping over fallen logs and receiving cuts from branches. Never have I been more happy to see a wonderful letterbox cache!! Have retrieved TB and will move it on. Thanks so much for placing a letterbox cache here

Came for a walk with my dog. Couldn't find a suitable way in for the two of us so decided to leave it for another visit.

TFTC! Dadzo found. Dropped signal tag SIGE3G.

Yesterday I departed Brisbane on my way south to spend Christmas with some relatives in Vincentia, NSW. I had allowed myself a few days of relaxed travel, which gave me plenty of time to do some caching along the way. Having camped in my car in Coffs Harbour overnight, I was up at daybreak to continue the journey south, pausing for a stop at this cache.

As I was heading back from a nearby cache I spotted a muggle walking along the trail, so I knew the direction to head towards the cache. Even so I had to bush bash the last little way into GZ. Was glad I was wearing long pants. After signing the logbook I decided to return a slightly different way trying to find some thinner vegetation. TFTC

It was close to dark but I thought I’d try for one more find for the day.. found this in good condition. Thanks for the cache.
Cheers

Found with BillHill531 and my boys on a geocaching camping weekend.
Day 2. We did a drive to Port Macquarie, stopping a a few select caches, before doing the adventure labs and returning to the campsite for the event.
Always after other cache types, we came to this cache. Had a little trouble finding a nice way in, but the terrain rating was accurate.
Thanks for the stamp and cache!

Found on a nice spring day With TOMBI! and grandsons, up to Diamond Head group camping event 'Some Caches are Diamonds' NIce to find a letter box in the bush. Log signed and caches replaced as found. Thanks For The Cache grey team

Checked today. All good.

Difficult put a stamp on it

Forgot my grass slasher .t.f.t.c

Took a bit of bush bashing to get here, bit found it quickly once we got to GZ. TFTC

Continuing on my long weekend adventure. Heading north now, I made a detour to find a few caches. After finding a nearby cache, I headed along the track towards this cache. Then it was time for a short bush bash to GZ. The cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

On the way home i wanted to grab a couple of caches. This was one of them. After a short walk the thick vegetation nearly put me off. Eventually found a way in and made a quick find. Didn't get ti find any others in the area unfortunately will be back another time. TFTC

In the area today after visiting Dad for Australia Day.

A hot walk along the path today but it helped sweat out my hangover. A quick find at GZ.

Love it when a letterbox cache is actually a letterbox. TNLN TFTC

Seeing a few letter box caches in the area we headed over. We soo. Picked up the track and headed over. A familiar themed container was soon spotted and the inking duties completed. TFTC.

Found on

Yes we do need more Letter Boxes so thanks for your personal campaign to get more in the district. Bush bashing indeed. No wonder the Postie rarely appears. TFTC grey team. Found 28/12/18 3:52 pm. Cache 1705 for us.

Found and logged using the Cachly app for iPhone.

Enjoyed the walk down this path, forgot shoes but luckily sent in my shoed sibling to sign off for me.

Thanks grey team for the cache. SSW

A nice easy and enjoyable walk along the track to the secret geocaching trail towards GZ. Once there found the letterbox and stamped my geo book. Found a Path Tag that my geo-wife will add to her growing collection. The local mozzies enjoyed some of my blood, TNLN thanks.

We're currently having a couple of days in Port Macquarie as we make our way to Brisbane for a family celebration on the long weekend, and today I took the opportunity to get out and do a couple of challenge caches (my caching priority on this visit) plus a few other randoms along the coast. That there was a couple of letterbox caches on my route was a bonus (particularly as one of my geo-goals at the moment is to up my finds of them) and I was able to make a pretty straightforward find on this one ... but unlike the other one up the road, I did find the "easy" way in from the track having taken the time to read right through the cache listing beforehand.

Thanks for making the effort to place a letterbox hybrid here for our enjoyment grey team.

Found with mum and dad on Day 9 of our Oz Geomuster roadtrip from Queensland. TFTC grey team.

Day 9 of our Oz Geomuster roadtrip from Queensland and today we are making our way home. The main aim of today is obtaining finds in the different counties of NSW that we have yet to fill...Port Macquarie-Hastings being one of them. Picking up the rarer types to accumulate points for Brother Colin's scavenger hunt challenge near home but also helps with the 2nd Well Rounded Geocacher Challenge . TFTC grey team.

Fantastic !!!
I needed another hybrid cache to qualify for a UGC Challenge caches in Canberra.
While writting this log I noticed a huge spider crawling on me...that sure made me move, hahaha
A fav point and dropped off a PT

Heading back home to Brissie after spending a few days at the OzGeoMuster, and grabbing a few more smilies along the way.

This was an adventure. Found the cache easy enough, but then got turned around looking for the track back to my car. With the tree cover, my phone GPS gave up, and I had to navigate by keeping the sound of the ocean on one side! TFTC

Day 2 of my trip to the OZGeoMuster and the first real day of being able to collect smilies. Today’s Trip is all about collecting challenges, letterboxes, interesting caches and hopefully making a small dent on all the solved Geo-Art puzzles.

I love a letterbox that’s a letterbox!

Thank you grey team for helping make my road trip the adventure it’s shaping up to be.

For some reason I started walking along the beach to this one but then had a better look at the map n read the instructions which always improves progress. Got back on track and set off on a nice walk. For once I managed to find the non bush bashin way in and soon found the cache. All tickety boo here. TFTC

I went further along the track but it was still too dense for me. on the way back I found a "track" at about the 260 meter mark and tried this. It worked out OK and I found the little beauty.

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 were off to Laurieton to visit the Sunday Markets and the North Brother Mountain Lookout, and collecting caches along the way. This was our 13th find of the day, and 126th find of the holiday.

With the geomobile still parked at the end of the beach access road, for the previous cache, we set off down the track towards this Letterbox cache. Had trouble finding an easy way into the scrub, but found an area of lighter scrub a bit beyond the closest point to the cache.

Made our way to GZ and spotted the cache as we approached. A funny sight out there amongst the paperbarks. Signed & stamped the logbook, picked up the TB (will take it with us back to Sydney), then replaced as found. And of course we then found the much easier way out, which took us directly to the return track. TFTC grey team.

Find #2217

Fantastic. Nice stroll. Big cache plenty of room. Co-Ord’s slightly off but not enough to be a problem. Tftc

Quick find whilst in the area. First find for 2018. TFTC!!! #1163

We are staying in the area for a few days and happily we were able to find this cache. Quickly spotted, fav point alloc. Thanks to grey team for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

You could be right about the world needing more letterboxes - our statistics for the Well Rounded Geocacher Challenge certainly does so we were pleased to find another in the grey team mail system. We didn't notice the end of the trail coming in but if you go to the right spot (like you always do when you return) it's quite easy to see. We kept walking till we saw a clear place to go off-track, up until that point off-track would have been a serious bushbash, and quickly found the cache. When we were returning a motorised windsurfer purr-r-r-red overhead. TFTC grey team.

Thank you for the cache. Log signed and cache replaced. *OCW Throsbyonchurch*.

{edit: New Cacher profile name, log book signed and logged: Miz Daisy }

Thanks for the cache awesome little location. Quick pick for me. SL

Found 29 November 2017 at 8:16 am. Heading south a few hundred kilometres. Stayed in a Laurieton motel last nice after dragging the owner out of bed at 11pm, what a good chap he was, I feel bad for doing that but it couldn't be helped. Picked up this cache and then went to see the sibling before heading into Port Mac and then on our way. I came here in thongs... hhmmm not a good idea. SL TFTH.

Found - OCW Throsbyonchurch. TFTH.

Heading back home to the central coast after a gig last night at Crescent Head and I have had a fairly big day of geocaching for the trip back. I always stop for a Letterbox where possible and whaddya know here's two! Wow a pretty neat spot in here for a cache. I stamped yours in mine, mine in yours, dipped some TBs, and re-hid exactly as found. On the way out I was met by another geocaching team out in force, it turned out to be Tatt2squared. I showed them my stamp book which by now is up to 30 LBHs. TFTLBH, grey team.

After dodging motorbikes, and meeting a fellow cacher along the trail, we found the cache after little bit of bush bashing. TFTC

Had a quick find after a small bush bash. Like the container. Thanks for the cache

Tftc. As happens often, we were having trouble with phone settling down and taking us all over the place, and then we turned around and, looking in correct direction, spotted the hide. Thnx. Tnlnsl.

Another glorious sunny day for some Caching. What a lovely, walking track and spot. A quick find was had at GZ. Many thanks for bringing us here. TNLN SL TFTC

A few trees fallen over the pathway but that didnt stop us great hide

Find #1599
We were on our way to Diamond Head to camp, we grabbed some caches between Laurieton and Bonny Hills. On a particularly windy day we found 15 without a DNF (for once) before racing the weather to camp to get our tent up.
The letterboxes up this way is primarily the reason for our route today, and this one was great. The kids loved the find, a bit similar to a Blue Mountains one we found a year ago. Well stocked too, we didn't take anything today though. Thanks grey team, +1 FP

We went camping at Diamond Head, and found some caches on the way....

Another beautiful day to be out and about looking for (and finding!) caches in the Port Macquarie region. A lovely area to explore, and for August we've had some phenomenal weather. Really enjoying everything about the place.
We headed off on the coastal trail listening to the sound of the surf and soon arrived somewhat close to GZ.
Then the GPSr got the wanders under the tree cover and we stumbled round searching trying to get closer until all of a sudden an oddity jumped out.
The letterbox is well camoed, but lucky for us it is a regular. A good size for the scrub!
TFTC

Today we cached with Ian & Penny we headed south into grey team country. Most of the locations we visited had glorious views of the ocean, it helped to remind me of the wondeful area we live in.
Another letter box, hard to find a way into the bush but once at GZ the cache was quickly found
Thanks for placing this cache grey team

Hi there grey team.

We found your cache **"Tree Mail Letterbox"** at 10:43:00 AM today. (This makes our total find count 17439).

Today we cached around the 'burbs' of Lauriton and North Haven with Di Morgan. we had a most enjoyable day & found 16 caches in a variety of container types and sizes (& DNF'd 1). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your 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 Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

Somehow we seemed to find a rather difficult way to walk in to make this find. We did manage it though and appreciated the very suitable container used to receive the mail here. All was in excellent condition and we soon added our name to the list of finders. We then wandered our way back to the track, finding a different way but no less difficult. There must be an easier way somewhere. Thanks to the grey team for another great letter box cache.

Found at 10:53 AM GAFF1 in the company of NurseHayley.
We weren't sure where the track to get to the cache was so after a couple of "up and downs" we just went in as real cachers do
These paperbark groves are quite lovely to wander around as there is a good space between the trees and the light can still get through.
Thanks grey team.

Found in the company of pprass, another letterbox cache to add to the list nicely placed. TFTC

I didn't have the coordinates for the entry point, so had a bit of bush 'bashing', but it was rather open. Found my way to the GZ, and soon had a well covered hide.
Found @ 1750, GAFF1. Unfortunately I had left my personal stamp in the car, but I there may have been a 'micro stamp' there.

TFTC, a nice cache in a nice spot. I did notice that there was no stamp in the cache though.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Loved the paper bark tree forest.
