Quick find here with Deni F and Shaneo58 while visiting the area from Maitland. Signed log as DSB. TFTC

Find#2747Have been planning a trip up to Kempsey to have a look at the slim dusty series with some Hunter geocachers. We got all the slim dusty series and then came to complete this series after completing the fruit and nut series too. A pretty quick find at GZ with good coordinates and a good hint. Out caching today with Banj5150 & Shaneo58. Cache in good condition replaced the zip lock bag. A favourite for the series from me. Only one DNFSigned as DSBTFTC coongoola

Found with deni_f and Banj5150 today and signed as BSD. Log sheet damp, but signable.. Rebated log book. TFTC coongoola and the series.

TFTC Again a wet log, result of all the rain we've had. A lot of caches in one day so apologies for the generic logs. Out caching w bobbiesgirl who has already done this trail however was nice enough to come with me so I could get a few smilies on my map.

Easy to find but quiet wet. Tftc

Bit moist and mouldy. What a magnificent tree that must have been once. Tftc.

Spending a couple of days in the area, decided to do this series to get some in a row TFTC JENPETEH, The H,s , South Africans living in Tassie GeoCaching our way around Australia and loving it

The log is very wet, I could just barely sign it, thanks.

Thanks for the adventure along this trail, placing and maintaining these cahces for everyone to enjoy, tftc

We are now heading north to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria. Today I was grabbing some of this series, as I meandered my way to Macksville. It was good to get of the beaten track and enjoy the back roads and grab some nice hides.

Stopped off here where the container was found after a short search, once at GZ. Unfortunately, the log was wet.

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

Found with nissan65 on a day trip caching . Thankyou for your contribution to geo caching

Found with cullum68 on a day of caching log log too wet to sign have photo if required thanks for the cache

Tftc
A nice quick find today

Just doing some of this trail with goingplaces2 and enjoyed finding this cache. No problem in doing that. The log was signed. all was replaced. Job done! TFTC.

Went for a drive with ilook4geo and found a few more caches on this trail. Was able to sign each log and then put everything back into place. All OK with this cache. Thanks for the cache placement go to coongoola.

The last week or so has been a quieter time where we have enjoyed the beach, walking and fishing but today we headed out to some of the trails out from Scotts Head where we are staying. In particular the Buffalo Trail, Tamban Trail and Fruit & Nut Trail.
It was a lovely day to be out and about, with good sized caches on the Buffalo and Tamban in general and the majority of caches being in reasonable condition despite the recent very wet weather.
The Fruit hides were at times challenging, and the Nuts often quite evil. Added to this the Fruit & Nut track had a number of mud holes, but nothing that wasn't easily passable. We were fortunate to find all of these. Quite an achievement.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache coongoola.

TFTC and the series

Found with my Dad and brother on our big caching day around Tamban.... 73 finds!
TFTC!!!

#4680-4717
We were out to break some of our records today after being stuck at home for over two months, so Tamban it was. We have often driven past it up the highway, and longed to get in there and find some, today we tried them all in just over 3 hours, and enjoyed ourselves - thanks for all the work you've put in to making this great trail.
Last one of the trail, we had a few stragglers to pick up on the way to the Fruit and Nuts, so spun back from here.... TFTC!

Found today while going for our most caches in 1 day, ended up doing the Tamban trail, then continued on through the fruit and nut trail. Had an amazing time doing these series

### ***TFTC*** ###

Great way to start a Sunday. Tftc

First of the day
Hip hip horay
Lots of caches to find
To excercise our body and mind.

Found while out and about during our Hat Hat stay, thank you for the cache! : )

My geo hubby found it

TFTC and series

Awesome

We don't normally do cut & paste with generic logs for a day's worth of caches. However, we will for this longer series.
This series, with the Fruit & Nut series took 5 hours to complete. We covered 20km starting from #40. We had only two cars drive past us whilst on the unsealed sections during this time. We made 63 finds. We found the road to be in good condition. Of course there has been little rain in the last fortnight. There were about 5 short sections, mainly between #20 and #1, where the road got a little bumpy - you just need to drive a little slower. A large puddle near #11 looked worse than it was. It ended up being shallow and was quite firm. All the caches were found fairly quickly due to accurate coords and good hints. Thank you coongoola. The caches are also well maintained! Thanks again. Some caches were quite interesting. We'll comment on these in individual logs. We have thoroughly enjoyed doing these PTs. A FP at the first and last for this fine series.

Thanks for a fun, well maintained trail Coongoola. Have enjoyed my day in the Tamban Forest

TFTC
This trail was my inspiration to come to South West Rocks, on a few days off. My poor i30 went well in the ‘preferred’ 4wd dirt road. I really enjoyed the variety of caches, and i really enjoyed the micros, with no hint. (I see that some don’t) but I like the challenge.
I am developing an eye for the CO’s hide style, and I like it. The trail was started from 1-11 then 40-12 due to a muddy LAKE that I didn’t dare take my i30 through. (I wish I had a nice 4x4)
Cheers

Cool serie, thx

Thank you very much coongoola for this lovely series! We had a great day with your creative Containers. We were on the road with a campervan without problems. Thanks for placing and maintaining those caches! Best Regards from Switzerland

A big day of caching while being based at Stuarts Point and what a pleasure it was to search and find the caches on this well maintained series. The different hides had us searching with interest at each gz. The scenery always lovely, the dirt road seldom used by other travellers. Thankyou coongoola for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area

Sitting by the river in Kempsey I had decided to hit the Tamban and Fruit &Nut trails.
Arrived at this one at about 1pm and given that others had only taken a few hours to complete the series I was hopeful of getting to the end of both trails before dark.
If they are all this easy it will be no problem.
Dropped off some trackables to continue their journey.

Find 6285 logged from c:geo.

Thanks heaps for the cache. Starting the trail backwards.

Decided to give the Tamban Trail a go today, Enjoyed the drive and found most of the caches. Some were quick finds and some were not so quick with the GPS taking it's time to settle, We also enjoyed the variety of cache's. TFTC and placing the trail coongoola

A fav for the effort in placing and maintaining the trail

#15000. Day 5 of a short holiday and today Robmc and I are caching around the SW Rocks area. Early on we rolled over 2 big milestones - Rob - 24 000 and me 15 000. We finished off the Tamban Series and completed the BH Fruit & Nut Trail, gathering a few others along the way for a total of 45 for the day. It was a lovely day out in the bush.

This is find # 15000. Quite amazing. Never thought I would ever find this many. Here we are at noon back to finish off the last 10 of these. A good sized container once more so I dropped in a Shoe TB to continue its journey from here. Didn't see the TB that is supposed to be in here though.

Thanks coongoola

Day five of out quick trip north. BettyBoo3747 and I spent today around South West Rocks. We finished off the Tamban Trail and the Fruit an Nut trail caches, then came back into town and walked the back beach..
After a very wet night and morning, it turned into a very nice day.

Back on the trail today to hopefully finish off this series.
Starting on the sealed road with a regular in a surprising hide!
Thanks, Robmc.

We didn’t have time for all of these so we started at the end and worked backwards.

A quick park and grab. Mummy and Miss 6 did the honours here. TNLN TFTC

TNLN SL Fav added for the trail many thanks. job well done.

On the way home from doing the MNCW series and we thought we would attempt this trail. Great little series with a few interesting cache containers. Thanks so much coongoola for all the effort and preparation, as well as maintenance that is required for a trail series.

On our way home from the MNC Wander we decided we had time to do this new trail. Started from the end. Great trail, thanks coongoola (Apologies for the copy/paste logs)

A nice quick find on our way home from the MNCW. TFTC

Started at the wrong end but that doesn't matter when you do them all.

Out for a little drive with the youngest geo-kid, today. Thought we’d try our luck at finding a cache without the full team. Accurate co-ords lead to a quick find. We left a TB, to continue his journey. Thank you for placing this series.

Baby Birt's find no. 675

Well this has been a day, and a personal best for both of us for caches in one day (usually only manage 20 or so).

Absolutely great fun, thanks for taking the time effort and money to lay the trail

We missed #34 just couldn't see it. But we're hungry and tired so mebbe we'll get that tomorrow morning.

Oh, and my Soft-Roader now looks like a proper Off-Roader, and to think I put it through the car wash before leaving home turf... Oh well it's all good for the sake of caching

FP for the trail

Caching with Baby Birt today.

Down for a weekend of caching. Caching in the dark ran into louisegould71 Tftc tnln

Heading north for a couple of weeks. 1st stop Fredrickton Golf Club for a couple of days to cache in the
Kempsey & South West Rocks area.
After th morning at the beach we headed into the forest to start on the Tamban Trail.
No Cars, No People & No Noise perfect location for caching. A nice large cache to start or finish the trail.
Picked up a TB
Thanks for placing this cache

Found at 2:09 PM GAFF1.
Well that's it for the series (so far?) We enjoyed a lovely drive through the forest in perfect conditions - got a bit muddy, took a while to find the first 10, but then when we got into the mind of coongoola we were off and flying - took 3 hours to complete with a 20 minute break for lunch. We scored a few FTF's and met another cacher and we still feel like doing a bit more caching so off we go to Macksville!
Thanks coongoola for a lovely series which was well thought out with a mixture of hides and containers. An FP for the series.

First to find YAH YAH while in Kempsey for a few days.Droped off TB.TFTC
