I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Will get around to replacing when no longer in lockdown thanks

Did not find. Note previous entry.

I believe this cache would of been located at the same location where you were able to find a bag of lollies. This cache holder actually tried to keep the lollies going by replacing the cache when it was being suspended. I had actually found the replacement but the reviewer archived it because the actual owner had not replaced it.

Sadly I was not able to find it and by the previous comments it has fallen apart and is now missing in action.

After 4 weeks of battling floods in NSW then Covid in QLD then the Torrential rain during the mega we were heading home. We stopped for the night at Murwillumbah then thought we would have a down day and do some caching in the picturesque area
Unfortunately this was a DNF for us today but the views were great
Many thanks anyway LizBeth1998

Will need to get a new cache as it broke in my hand as it was brittle

Wonderful area to explore great placement and interesting road. Thanks

Murwillumbah Day 2
Our caching companions today were the Snakepitters, We planned a circular route that took us out along farming country side, with amazing mountain views, & flowing creek beds.
It was a good day out with some great cache hides in some wonderful locations
Thankyou LizBeth1998 for placing this cache.

A wet day today, out with DiMorgan picking up a few caches around the greater Murwullimbah area.

All day I had been keen to show my wife a view of Mt Warning, but it had been covered in clouds. We were on our way to Uki where we were told the “mountains kiss the sky”. Unfortunately someone had been kissing the cloud gods on the arse and we ended up seeing nothing.

There were plenty of cars driving by but we found a spot to sneak up to grab the cache. We thought all eyes would be on us because all the mountains were hidden behind clouds. We could see that all the motorists wished our faces were hidden behind clouds. tftc

Wonderful Wollumbin was hiding his head in the clouds today. However, this made the views even more stunning. The container is slightly broken but the logbook is still dry. TFTC.

Tftc Liz, quick find made here

Thank you

Out and about with Joojoo57's Adventure Lab.

This is such a gorgeous view. Did you know that the Byangum area was actually planned out as a town. There were house and commercial blocks, even a church and cemetery. We are unsure if any of it was ever built or why it was never completed, the history is sketchy but there was detailed plans and clearly there is nothing but cow paddocks there now.

Thanks for the cache.

Out and about on an adventure with Peter and Suzy.

The cache description suggested taking some photos of Wollumbin or the Cattle, but I thought any photos needed to include me too. So I have included one of me with both mountain and cows.I look pretty cute eh!.

Thanks for the cache.

Nice and easy find

Found TFTC. I didn't realise that a muddle was watching me. Hope it remains there

Fond it on my second time around

Gotcha - Found easy enough. Tftc

Easy grab....lots of muggles!!

Sneaky and easy cache,

Found it

Found at 4:17 PM GAFF1.
A nice little hide that was hard to spot as it was transparent and the local spiders have tried to really cover it up!
Thanks LizBeth1998.
Feedback: The lid of the container is brittle and has split into two pieces.

We searched but sadly didn’t find which was sad as this was our first geocaching adventure - the mapping was also showing that it was right by the roadside where cars are passing at 80 km/hr which was pretty dangerous

Cache is still in place thanks

Couldn’t find it ️ it seemed to be around the street sign, but found nothing. Unless it was in the deep grass at base of street sign. But didn’t want to dig around in the long grass to much

GPS out.. but found tftc

Had an afternoon free so thought I would go to a couple of spots to look for birds got my annual list and also attempt a few of the caches that had been placed since my last visit a year ago - good to see a range of new caches around Murwillumbah. Such a pleasant drive and most of the caches were quick finds - and even got a FTF to boot.

Back to this familiar spot and was a quicker find this time (the CO restored a Lolly Bag cache but it still got archived). This is a ridiculously busy location and really glad to get this signed and on my way.

Be careful of the cars. tftc

As restrictions are easing I will begin to enable my hides again. Happy caching

I am disabling my caches in Murwillumbah CBD due to Covid 19 and the fact many people seem to be on the move having found geocaching recently. This is to stop the spread. Will reenabled as soon as lockdown is over.

Easy find. So cute

Beautiful spot to stop along our drive TFTC

Quickly found. Tftc

Random Sunday without the kiddo's so we had some mummy and daddy time. Went on a big road trip through the country side, visiting some towns I've never been to and revisiting some of my favorites. Found a total of 21 today and this was cache 10

After bypassing Murwillumbah (that's a whole days worth of caching if not more), this was next on the list. Quick find, in peace and quiet, and the log was signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache LizBeth1998

Found it in the first place we looked, this area is lovely. The cache was wet so we took care of it before returning it safe n sound. The cache was found during our Leap Day 2020 road trip, a day which saw us attend an event in the morning, find a stack of caches, do a fair chunk of maintenance due to recent torrential rains and another event for dinner! We also managed to complete 24 geocaches in 24 hours so I can now go and buy a new geocoin! This is now also a new record for us, beating our 2012 record of 22 finds. All is good with this geocache.

Quite a few vehicles went past but found it.

Found it tried a long time ago but too much traffic got it toda thu though tftc

Found it although it’s a bit soggy after the floods

Easy find, great location

Easy Find TFTC Lizbeth1998

Tftcsl. Nice quick drive by! Beautiful day here, just need some rain!!

I had one day to find the last 20 caches to reach 1999 before the end of the year. So today was the day. I found 7 by 1pm, wasn't looking good. Then the battery on my car died whilst I took a call. Duh!
But I managed to find them. Thanks to all the COs who hid these caches around Murwillumbah and Uki. I had to stop when I found my 20 so I'll be back to find more caches soon.

Met up with geofriends to collect a cache or two for the souvenir challenge. Cows were all under shade today. Thanks.

Sometimes you can't see the cache for the webs. We are doing our family visits to Murbah and caching along the way. TFTC

Thanks LizBeth1998 for some new geocaches around this area. We visit often as our daughter lives nearby, and particularly at the moment as we get prepared for Christmas at her home. Found the cache safe and in good condition after two of us had already run our eyes over the spot. Sometimes you just can't see what's in front of you, lol. Great to be out and about and meet up with some caching friends for a couple of finds.
Cheers and happy caching!

Nice quick find with Epicest

I remember stopping for a cache here once before, long ago. Great views of the mountain, even if it was a bit smokey today. Took me a little while to lay my hands on the cache, but I eventually got it! Thanks for another cache in the best part of the world!

Caching our way home via Numinbah after the very enjoyable GIFF event in Murwillumbah last night. Grabbed this new cache along the way. The road was busy today but we zeroed in on the find and waited until the coast was clear. TFTC LizBeth1998

Nice find quick and easy TFTC

Out caching with GayeNT & NikkiRB easy fine

A day out to Chillingham markets and some caching with Bebbles61 & NikkiRB nice hide TFTC
