By magpiecottage on 01-Mar-19. Waypoint GC8469P

Log was shy, didn't want to come out to play, but eventually coaxed it. tftc

Found this afternoon on my way home from Glen Innes to Port Macquarie. Lovely series of caches in excellent condition. Enjoyed my leisurely drive through the countryside. Thanks Magpie cottage

Today we set out on a loop, first heading down the highway to Uralla and then returning via the Mihi Trail to reach Armidale late afternoon.We found some great caches along our way and explored Uralla completing caches and an Ad Lab.The Mihi Trail was an unexpected surprise as we really enjoyed the undulating countryside and a number of historic homes and farming buildings. The trail also pointed out a number of interesting features we may well have missed. A variety of hides, all in good condition and all easily found made for a pleasant drive.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache magpiecottage.**SKI Pair****

Reperio 15:55Day 2 of our tour of Tamworth caching trip, and Master Vitruvius and I decided to head out towards Uralla and Armidale, and eventually 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.Gratias magpiecottageAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

Last time around there were aome construction workers hanging out at GZ so we gave this cache a miss on the trail.
Today we were back in the area and decided to duck in and make the find to finish off the trail.

Thanks for the cache!

Nice sunny day and I decided to do a loop around the backroads. This turned out to be a spectacular drive and I took a few pics. Note that it’s an ecologically sensitive area. Very pretty wildflowers

Many thanks for bringing us here.

Another beautiful Sunny day for collecting a few more caches before Driving home to Lismore.
Thank you for showing me lots of hidden wonders in the area

We were heading to Armidale with ilook4geo and this seemed the best route to take. We are glad we chose to go this way as we found all the caches in this series. The cache containers and hides were varied, The co-ords were good and we really enjoyed these finds. Thank you magpiecottage for this lovely country roads caching tour.

Came on a caching hunt today with goingplaces2. Found this to be a fun trail and liked all the different hides. It was a lovely drive. Thanks for the series.

Found on a days caching with MoSSau

Love the hide found with lonely Ra thanks for cache

Great hide. Unfortunately we didn’t have an extraction tool with us to access & sign the log.

The sun was setting and I decided to get as much of this series done while I had light. The kangaroos at dusk brought it to an earlier end, but made it as far as Mihi. Tftc.

Out collecting the various trails and a few extra caches today whilst on holidays from Sydney

Thankyou to the CO's for placing and maintaining the caches

**Total find count: 1096**

After what has felt like an eternity, we are finally taking our first geocaching road trip since Clear Waters with Crzymelly, TeamPQS and HubbyandMrs.

Today was another 'trail' day. We elected to complete the Mihi Trail from Armidale to Uralla before lunch and potential rain. Then with a belly full of food, search out the Uralla caches.

Great job Magpiecottage

Driving to Armidale from Newcastle today and we decided to take the tourist way at the end. A beautiful little drive but man it was cold jumping in and out of the car today.

Easy find, great location and GPS led straight to the cache

Let me start by thanking the cache owner for the time and effort they have put into caching for ourselves and others to enjoy.

Most will be cut and paste logs but in no way does that mean we don't appreciate your efforts
At the end of day 2 my gps reset its self and in the process deleted all my comments so I can't really remember which was what. sorry
Also forgat to say found with Staybe and co.

Tamworth and Amrmidale Trip March 2020. Day 5. I headed north with Fitzy_1965 along the New England Highway towards Tamworth. Today we moved north to Armidale, but not in a straight line. 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 every cache.

Thanks for the cache magpiecottage

Day 5 of our trip. Packed up the rather wet campsite and headed out after breakfast for what turned out to be another big days caching. We aimed to cache our way up to Armidale. Next stop of the day, and we came up with a quick find. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then headed off to the next one.

TFTC magpiecottage !!

thanks

After setting up at GEONO's residence we decided that we would do their Lab caches and then this little trail to work through the afternoon. Nice little series some logs were damp, unfortunately we only had one dry log left so were unable to replace all the damp ones.

Out for a day of geocaching with sister/daughter Shaz6611 and geodog Scruff. Thanks for the trail, magpiecottage, it was great fun, and love to see a little green.

I was home in Uralla - but only for two days. I’ve had my eye on this trail for a while. I’ve travelled the road a few times and knew it was a nice drive. Was great to see the ground so wet out here after last nights rain. Found this one easily. Thanks Magpiecottage!

Better camouflage than these normally are. tftc magpiecottage

Not the real deal

Found it when looking at the other side TFTC

Thanks for the cache magpiecottage, signed the log, travellers visited and we set out for the next in the series.

A drive around here today,
reveals the area is in drought !!
But looking around at the properties,
I'm sure that this year is a rarity [:o]

Or is it ??

Climate change seems to have proved it exists
So will this drought persist ?? [:o]
Only Mother Nature knows
And she ain't tellin' [^]

We are on our war to Blackall, our 1st overnight stop is at Uralla . A new trail from Uralla to Armidale has popped up since we were last in the area.
This was a lovely farming country drive, although at present it is so dry.
Viewing many of the farm houses we passed this must have been or still is a very prosperous area,
Thankyou for placing this cache

On our way to QOGM (Blackall) day 11 of our trip. 3 caches for the day and 360 for the trip. Favorite point.TFTC
