Thank you

Found cache on ground and bag separate. I have placed all into bag and put on a high branch. Will need maintenance. Easy park and grab TFTC

Cache needs maintenance. In a bag resting in a branch.

Another quick P&G on our travels. tftc

Tftc Don't know what's going on here so I signed 2 separate logs. One as per the hint and another that's piggy backing

I think someone has placed a new throw down cache here. I logged the one in a ziplock bag, and as I was placing it back up in the tree I found the real cache a very nice hanging micro! You might need to come remove the larger container CO. TFTC

Tyfc unfortunately it has disintegrated added it to a zip lock bag & added a couple treasures

Thanks Alfie77. I found it on the ground. I put it in the tree and its definitely not hanging!!

Found it

Thanks

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Making our way to Broken Hill for Mundi Mundi Bash. Staying a few days in Tamworth to allow for some chores. Today was all about caching lunch packed and off we set to tackle some trails. Sure kept us busy today only getting home after sunset. Finally stopped here for lunch at 1.20pmWe found your cache today. TFTC ALFIE77JC1

Reperio 12:41Day 2 of our tour of Tamworth caching trip, and Master Vitruvius and I decided to head out towards Hillgrove and Wollomombi. With lots of drive by caches, most the finds were nice and quick, with a few nicely crafted caches thrown into the mix. The most pleasingly part of the day was that nearly all the caches were available and found.Found this one on the ground. Replaced the cache according to the hint.Gratias ALFIE77JC1As a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

Making our way up to Queensland to visit relatives we stopped for a few days in a number of towns and could not go past collecting a few caches to the detriment of the muggle other half who had no interest and frowned when Mr Blackaddder spent too much time searching for plastic boxes. All caches were is good condition unless stated otherwise.A quick trip up to have a look around a relatives previous residence the prize was soon spotted. Accesing the log was more difficult but successful. Signed and returned as found.Thank you for the cache ALFIE77JC1 Find Number 10728 on 15/04/2024

Checked AGTG

Very hot day and nice and cool under tree.No luck in finding the loot.TFTC

Thanks!

It was a cold, windy, and rainy morning in Glen Innes and the weather has improved a lot since then. The sun has come out and the wind is disappeared. It is going be a good day out and about geocaching. I been as far South as I need to go and found enough caches to suit a certain challenge cache in Brisbane. So, I am heading North again. Unfortunately, no luck here for me today.

Couldn't find it

TFTC

Saw it as we pulled up

How peaceful is Moonbi. Very relaxing Sunday afternoon. TFTC

Quick find had here with Anne of Green Gables

TFTC

Out caching for the day with Mystery Sleuth. Quick park and grab.

Good quick find in the rain.

Our route today, Tamworth to the coast, along with the amazing changes in elevation, there were many "stretch the legs" stops for caches such as this. Just a warning with this one, there are wasp nests nearby (that look like bison tubes) and they bite.

Thanks to ALFIE77JC1 for adding this cache to the gameboard.

Found with Bek76 & Gum62. TFTC!

Found it with bek76 and MDT79

Nice tree. TFTC

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, nice cache container never seen one like that before, all in good order.

Thank you ALFIE77JC1 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Hanging from tree

Good

My timing was off but the natural cover and my fascination with the gorgeous blooms helped. TFTC

Got 'em

Replaced cache AGTG

So sorry to report a DNF here as the CO will worry about it. But we hunted through, around and under trying to spot it per the hint. The sun must not be in the right direction at the end of the day to assist us here. Good luck to the next cachers.

Log book is very wet

Out on a local discovery drive on a sunny day

Couldn’t see anything above then found it in the mulch. Full of water and log is soaking wet. Logged and left with some natural cover as not sure where it’s supposed to be

Wow,look at all the belt stuff.TFTC

Had a blinding flash. TFTC

Day 3 of my car trip through NSW from Brisbane. Today travelling from Armidale to Quirindi. I went to many different caches and thank CO's for their placement. Arrived at GZ and after short search cache was found. TFTC

A quick find after having a "light bulb" moment.

Day 5
Armidale to Tamworth.
like Rubber much... lol
This is a Road trip south back to ACT, originally to Dayboro, but now a caching trip around NSW for the Easter break.
found with StrangeTrousers
thanks ALFIE77JC1

#7098 Day 5 of our "Dayboro Plan B" trip. mtrax & myself, having decided to ditch the mega came up with a last minute re-route using some of the accommodation we'd already booked and find some interesting caches. To this end we were very selective and only chose caches with sufficient FPs along the route. Today we headed out of Armidale down towards Tamworth. Only a short trip of 150km or so, but with sufficient geostops to fill out the day. Highlights for today had to be the geono caches around Uralla and Uralla itself. We bumped into "The Neighbs" along the way and had a chat. They were heading up to the Mega too, but had to divert.

An unusual container opposite the belt factory.

Thanks ALFIE77JC1

We are staying in Uralla over Easter now, as our trip to go to the Dayboro mega in QLD fell through thanks to covid. So instead of going back home to Vic, we decided to stay and explore this area instead. So glad we did as it is truly a beautiful area.

On a day trip back towards Tamworth via Moonbi, this was one of the caches we found. It was very wet inside, so we tipped the water out and dried the logsheet as best we could before replacing. TFTC ALFIE77JC1.

Thank you for leaving this for myself an my friends to find, was fun.. Be careful of bees

Cache was full of water but log was dry. My pen was playing up so I added a picture tftc.

Yes, found it.

They say you have to be careful of muggles, but one here just amazed me. It was 15 mins before school was due out. A parent was sitting in a car, no more than 2 metres from the cache. I thought I would take my chances, surely she wouldn't be the type that would remove/destroy the cache. But she didn't even look at me, had her head buried in her mobile phone. I am still not sure whether she saw me.

Thanks for the cache.

While staying at Moonbi the caching hunt continued with ilook4geo, Today covered a couple of different trails and we had a fairly good result. Each log found had two more names added to the list before each container and its contents were put back as they had been found. Thanks go to ALFIE77JC1 for these cache placements.

Went for a caching wander today with goingplaces2. Made some interesting finds and did the log signing. TFTC.

A quick park and grab. TNLN TFTC

could not reach so took a pic, tftc

Found at 10:57 AM GAFF3 - not that it helped us that much as we don't know much about tree names.
When we eventually found the cache we realised why we didn't find it sooner. A T of 1.5 means it is easily accessible - ie on the ground or shoulder height - not way over your head!
Thanks ALFIE77JC1.
Feedback: Where this cache is located requires a bit of height and a lot of cachers would not be able to access it. T of 2.0 is more appropriate.

Tftc found with earthly 65

Got lucky with our timing today...school out half an hour ago...thanks Alfie

Yay! Finally found one without farmers friends TFTC

Just to let you know - the log was dry in its bag but the cache was full of water.

Tamworth and Amrmidale Trip March 2020. Day 3. I headed north with Fitzy_1965 along the New England Highway towards Tamworth. Today we headed out to do caching trails around Tamworth to the North. 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 ever cache.

Thanks.

Day 3 of our trip. Headed out after breakfast for what turned out to be a big days caching. We aimed to hit some of the trails around the region. Next stop of the day, and a quick find was made. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then headed off to the next one.

TFTC ALFIE77JC1 !!

Replaced cache due to tree cutting

Looked and looked, however tree has had a recent trim and the cache could have inadvertently been shredded. May need investigation by CO

Thanks anyway for bringing us here

Tamworth Day 2
Arrived into Tamworth & have set up camp at the showgrounds.
After heading north to Moonbi, we returned stopping to do some caches not far from the highway
Thankyou for placing this cache ALFIE77JC1

27 July 2019 Geocaching with Magpiecottage and Baby Birt on a crisp New England winter's day. My find # 238. Too cute!
TFTC, handlel, SL,

Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment ALFIE77JC1

Found with Wanda Wombat and Baby Birt. Kudos to WW who had the 'lightbulb' moment!

found while caching on my way to tamworth. Thanks

While camping in Tamworth with my geodog Scruffy, we just had to get out find a few caches in the area...

All Good .. TFTC ..

School was in but only naughty kids outside the classrooms. Didn't hang around too long

Skool was in
I know it was !!
I could see the kids trapped inside,
looking whistfully out at where freedom lay

Lucky for me this cache was well hidden in the scenery,
so the kids couldn't see me [^]
I could see the cache though

TFTC.

Day 3 of visit to Tamworth with IolantheK and this morning we are heading to the Moonbi area.
We went around in circles for a little while until this unusual container was spotted. Thanks.

Day 3 of the visit to Tamworth with joojoo57. This morning we are taking a run out to Moonbi to tackle the New England Gully Road Series. But of course there were a few others to be collected along the way.

I searched the right spot but missed it, and while I was off elsewhere, joojoo called me back. I guess I just wasn't looking for that?!?!? TFTC, ALFIE77JC1.

That was a great one. Good one for the kiddies to find

Caching in and around Tamworth and surrounds, we picked up a few caches with Whitewebbs and this was one of them.

An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Day 30 Mainland trip
Out and about caching around Tamworth and surrounds with Tassie Trekkers and this was one we found. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the rural drive. The standard of hides and creativity of some were fantastic. A quick find. TFTC

Took Nothing Left nothing sl

Very clever. Found it. Thanks.

Day 3 and last in Tamworth this time round, need to now head to Goulburn to meet up with a few cachers heading to the QBN Mega. Another overcast day keeping pleasant to drive around the area. Nice cache container, would need to be careful to ensure no young muggles catch us here.

On this day 7th March, in the history of geono., no cache has been logged.... ever. So on a visit to Tamworth today we thought we'd fix that. Our first choice, George @ Moonbi, had four DNF's. Didn't think that might be the cache to do it. This was the second option.

As we pulled up at the co-ordinates during school hours it was pleasantly deserted. Easily found the cache but the log.... ? we don't know where the log was. It wasn't in the container, nor was anything else for that matter. We had a spare one we've been carrying around for a while (actually by the look of it, quite a while) so we left it as a replacement. Hope this is okay. TFTC ALFIE77JC1.

Spotted by my Great Granson. TFTC Alfie

After lunch at Bendemeer headed down the hill to start a afternoon jaunt to discover some caches. This one could by a little tricky at "school time" . All aok here today !! A clear new log sheet signed and replaced . Thanks ALFIE77JC1
