Don't be such a Fusspot Ebor, New South Wales, Australia
By groovydoo on 29-Dec-18. Waypoint GC81T8R

cafe closed and cache location now not ideal

Fusspots Cafe is closed so don't expect a coffee. Looks like private garden but found OK. Thunder & lightning getting closer time to cycle to pub.

Beautiful spot in the side of the road, not far from Ebor Falls.

Tftc found with earthly65

Never seen sooo many snails in one place...eewww...quiet lil find...no tea today, shame..we enjoy this lil stop on our trips out this way..happy to gain a smiley here tho...tftc

Log sheet is saturated. Sorry, but didn't have a spare to replace it for you.

Found at 12:31 PM GAFF3.
There was a group of muggles wandering around aimlessly when we arrived - looked like they were doing the "stretch your legs" exercise, but then one of them came up to us and asked us if we knew that "Fusspot" was closed - and we said yes we saw the sign, but weren't going there in any case and just wanted them to get out of there so we could find the cache
Thanks groovydoo

another bonus cache sign. It can't last I know, I'd better pull my weight later today. I have eaten here before however today i was still getting over breakfast. maybe next time. tftc

This one only needed a quick stop with ilook4geo to find this cache and add another smiley to our caching map. We were out of sight of the coffee drinking muggles. Two more names were noted on the log before all was put back where it had been found. Thank you to groovydoo for placing and maintaining this cache.

Heading out again with goingplaces2 to pick up some more caches. This was one that we found. TFTC.

On my way home decided it was time for a rest and find a cache was nearby. Soon had cache in hand.

Away for a few weeks. Had burgers and coffee after the climb up the hill.

Hello groovydoo we found your geocache at 12:58 p.m. on the 15 November 2020. This is #5850 for us.

Nine of us took the motorcycles on a ten day trip thru Country NSW. I was the only cacher but where ever we stopped I made time to check for near by caches. This was one of them. Sorry for the generic log. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache

Don’t lean in the birdbath. Tftc

Last week when I stopped here there was no internet reception so I couldn’t read the description, hint etc. I didn’t want to snoop around too much given it looked like private property. When I came back today I was armed with information and could go straight to the cache, sign the log and get out of there! TFTC Groovydoo

Super easy find.
We love stopping here in our way through on our toad trips.

Decided to stop for a milkshake at Fusspots ( it was a bit disappointing). Thanks Groovydoo for the cashe.

Quick find on the way past today. Logbook is full. Tftc!

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

TFTC stopped with a large group of bikers log full

We are doing a bit of a road trip this week with our new camper trailer in tow and today saw us travel from Walcha to Dorrigo. After making an obligatory stop at Ebor Falls (where I was disappointed to see that the lower falls have not yet reopened after the bushfires), I noticed there were a couple of hides in Ebor itself. A quick find here but a shame that we couldn't make it a coffee stop as well ... seems that the cafe's opening hours are a bit random.

Thanks for the hide groovydo.

After completing the Deervale Trail we drove into Ebor for some lunch and then a few more caches before heading back down the mountain. Cold and windy and even a few snowflakes in the wind. Lucky we came prepared for the cold.

Found - quick and easy find - Ash & Tills

We found this one on the way to the coast for the weekend. TFTC.

After a late start on a weekend trip to Coffs, we stopped at Ebor for dinner. This cache was too close to pass by before hitting the road again. All in good condition. TFTC.

Stopped in at Ebor on the way to Coffs. Enjoyed a bite to eat at the pub and a quick cache. TFTC

Tijdens rondrit vanuit Coffs Harbour deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Left Grafton this morning heading to Tamworth to meet up with DiMorgan for the 29 Feb Souv. Stopped at Ebor and noticed this trail nearby. Setup the caravan at the Pub and set off for these. Nearly at the end and the heavens opened up on us. We were planning on doing the other trail but decided to call it and headed back to support the local pub for a few light refreshments.

Stop to have lunch at cafe.found cache.

I was on an Australia Day long weekend road trip with Pprime, Fangsoki and 1MinniMoo and we had targeted caches in the area which would help us to qualify for a number of challenges.

We stopped here for a bite to eat but had to find the cache first.

TFTC groovydoo

With Fangsoki, Crew153 and 1MinnieMoo we have hit the Dorrigo Plateau for the weekend - having arrived yesterday we have now done Bald Hills and headed into Ebor for a well earned coffee and breaky - one more quick stop though here. Can recommend this place for food and the all important decent caffeine. Someone suggested it would taste like chicken, but I wanted bacon.

Thanks groovydoo for entertaining me at this location.

26/1/20 Find #3354
A road trip long weekend with Fangsoki, PPrime and Crew153, staying in Dorrigo. It was finally time for breakfast at Fusspots, but we decided to grab the cache here first. It was found quickly as a cat wandered over to say hello, wisely avoiding PPrime and heading straight to Fangsoki. I think it was also hoping to score a breaky at Fusspots.
Thanks for the cache groovydoo.

1MinnieMoo, Pprime, Crew 153, and I were in the Dorrigo / Ebor Area grabbing caches. This was our second day while in the area.

We decided to have breakfast at this particular establishment after locating the cache. The local cat instantly took a liking to me (obviously sensing Pprime dislikes cats)

Stopped for a hamburger and Found a geocache 33 metres away!! Tftc!

Found on a road trip between Sandy Beach and Glen Innes. We stopped here to stretch our legs and we'd hoped to go to Ebor falls but the national parks are likely closed until the end of March this year due to fire. Thank you for this cute little cache

We escaped the drought and heat in Armidale for the green glory of Dorrigo today, with Scruffy the geodog and a little caching on the way.

TFTC, groovydoo!

Stopped for a cuppa at Fusspots. Quick check of map, woohoo bonus cache nearby. Quick find despite niggles nearby. TFTC

Found with Monkeyman007

Quick easy find at this quaint little rest stop.. cache came with resident snail and log was very wet.. found with Cached Up Mummy Jules on our road trip to cairns.. tyftc

Got the camper fitted in Woolgoolga, now heading home. First stop Uralla.
Bettyboo3747 and I cached across Dorrigo, Ebor, and had lunch in Wollomombi (great burger!)
Still very smoky in the area , but a lovely day for caching.

Fusspot was closed! Shock horror! Where do we get our scones from now?
A nice little garden though, and a quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.

#16805. The first day travelling with the new campervan between Emerald Beach and Uralla. Such a smoky trip and it is so sad to see the countryside up here - either fire ravaged or drought ravaged.

A quick find and sign as all was quiet here today. Having missed out on morning tea at Dorrigo after our walk due to a power blackout we continued to Ebor and were hopeful that Fusspots would be open. Alas no so we continued on yet again in the search for food and drink.

Thanks groovydoo

Nice hide, also found a painted rock!

Quick find after walking into town from the sports ground freecamp. TFTC

Left home early to spend the day looking for caches for the Mystery at the Museum game. Worked out this direction would get us the clues needed, as long as we drove far enough. This was our second cache and it was freezing in Ebor before the sun came up.... it was also dead quiet. A quick find when your fingers are threatening to turn to ice is a good find. TFTC and the 'shadow' groovydoo.

On the way back from a little weekend trip to the coast, makes for the perfect geocaching outing, especially with this event to finish. Nice little hide! Thanks!

Found tyftc. Stop #3 on mystery of museum.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Stopped at Ebor on my way from the Blue Mountains to Coffs Harbour. While waiting for my toasted sandwich at Fusspots I thought, why not see if there is a cache nearby. Hang on - there's one just outside. Didn't want to waste time so went straight to the hint and then straight to the cache. TFTC groovydoo.

Today joojoo57 and I are road tripping from the Tweed Coast to Tamworth We headed south down the Pacific Hwy to Grafton, then along Armidale Rd and Waterfall Way to Ebor, then west through Armidale to Tamworth, which will be our home base for the next few days. Along the way we stopped to collect a few caches for me.

Ebor was our lunch stop, and after ordering my meal from the cafe and admiring the teapot collection I headed outside to get this cache sorted. No trouble making the find. TFTC and for showing me the place, groovydoo.

easy find thanks

Great stop for lunch. Tricky one. TFTC Groovydoo.

The geodaughter and I called in here just after lunch time and were very happy to find somewhere to get some lunch. We had what were probably the best vegie burger and steak sandwich we have ever had, and for future patrons highly recommend trying the homemade relish...delish! We wandered across to look at the horses and of course find a cache! Quickly located, signed and returned all before lunch was ready I took the time to photograph the many, many tepots as well. My Mum collected these when she was alive and would have loved this place! Thanks for the cache and the great feed groovydoo! This cache gets a favourite for the food and the memories of my Mum

Found it.

Just on closing/ pack up time ,so up the road we went to the other cache site ! On the return a fairly quick grab on sign. Thanks groovydoo

After morning tea it was a quick detour to the car to collect this hide - we were lucky that many of the customers had left while we were inside. Thanks groovydoo.

Stopped at Fusspot for morning tea before looking for this cache. A quick find. TFTC groovydoo

To many muggles to get this one this morning so had to get it on the return trip. TFTC

Went fora great little ride on the motorbikes today. Stopped for a cuppa at Fusspots. Thanks for the hide

Easy find thanks

I felt like it was time to break up the drive to Grafton and on top of the hill the internet returned. Suddenly we were connected to the world again and we did what all teenagers do. We stopped talking to each other and buried our heads in our phones and that is hard to do when you are driving.

I pulled over for a break and saw there were caches a little further along. Out we got and we instantly made to feel welcome by hundreds of beautiful creatures. At least they are beautiful after they are sprayed with a can of Mortein. tftc

What a great way to finish the year with 2 *FTF* s. We are staying locally with family so when we got the notification that a couple of caches had been published it was a great excuse to drive to Ebor and check out the falls.
Thanks Groovydoo for all the caches you haae placed around the area.
