Looked at wrong stump first thanks

Whenever Mrs Woodyrothwell volunteers to get out of the car and walk up a track to find a cache I know things are going well. She had really bought into the challenge we were trying to complete and the fact that I told her that the bottle of bubbles in the fridge was cold she was buoyed on. tftc

While camping at Emerald Beach for a few days with my geodog Scruffy , We had to get out and look for a few caches ...All Good .. TFTC ..

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

Found with cullum68 on a day trip to this area. Thanks for the cache

With a long weekend in front of me and a challenge cache in Brisbane on the radar it seemed a perfect opportunity to good to miss to not head south and chase the caches i need to successfully claim the cache.After spending the night in Coffs Harbour woke early and started the hunt for local caches with a view of working my way back towards Brisbane.I found a safe place to park the car and made my way to ground zero where the cache was quickly located. The log was removed and signed and replaced the cache safely in its hiding place.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.Cheers

Beautiful drive, tftc

Thanks for arranging this cache which has enhanced our enjoyment of the area.

On the hunting trail with Liz & Bruce on 2024 New Years adventure. Quick find here. Another great day for caching. TFTC earthly65

Found, wet book

We drove from Woolgoolga to number 13 of this series thinking that was the last cache in the trail. Obviously we must have not opened the map far enough because there are many more west of #13. Anyway, as was our plan we are driving in an eastward direction to find these caches. Another quick find and with log signed and cache replaced we were on our way.
Thanks Earthly65.

We are now heading north to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria. Headed of from Coffs towards Grafton picking some of this series, along the way. Arrived home tonight to discover a few ticks had enjoyed a free journey.[:(!]

Stopped off here where the container was found after a short search but container and log were wet.

Thanks earthly65 for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Hint was good, stump was dry but log was wet. Picture proof provided

Hint good, stump dry, lig to wet to write on…..piccie as proof

Another great day in the forest. TFTC.

We started the trail from the "Woopi" end, gathering quite a collection of smiley tokens, including this one, to add to our geo map.

**FEEDBACK TO CO.** The log here is saturated, future seekers would appreciate a fresh dry log, to record their visit please.

Thanks to earthly65 for creating this interesting trail of caches.

Very wet

Lots of quick park and grabs. Others I drove passed or we gave up looking as the compass was jumpy and the day was getting hot.

Quick find

An unexpected trip to northern NSW allowed me time to grab a few caches along the way. Opted to have a day dedicated just for caching on my way home so I took to the P/T’s around Coffs. Thanks to the CO’s for your hides.

As I got out of the car to get this one, I was met by a male Regent Bowerbird!! What a sight!!

Owner maintenance run on 24.8.22...cache found in good condition...happy caching

Found while staying at daughters place at Coffs on a not so beautiful day. But a good day for caching so thank for these caches eathly65

Found it.

TFTC a quick find along our journey.

Geoson struggled needed some help TFTC

TFTC yay I found it

We set out from Woolgoolga up into the hills today with the Magic Mushroom and WoopiBucca trails in our sites. The roads were good despite all the recent rain and we enjoyed the forest drive.
There were quite a variety of hides, in both size and design. Many of the Magic Mushroom caches had lots of time put into the containers which was both entertaining and appreciated. Quite a number of logs were wet as you would expect with all the rain but others were pristine. It never ceases to surprise us how some containers work well while others don't. The country was at times tough, particularly where the lantana is taking hold
We awarded quite a number of favourites on the Mushroom trail and probably should have given more, but we were on a mission.
Our thanks to the CO/s for a great effort to establish a trail with a difference.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache earthly65.

Heute wird die Gegend um Woolgoolga erkundet und da darf der eine oder andere Cache nicht fehlen.


Danke für's legen und pflegen sagt celly15299

Logbuch ist feucht

Found this one after going on foot as the mighty Camry could not continue through the mud bog this time. Will have to come back to tackle the rest another time.

Found on a day trying to get to the summit. After reaching the summit, I continued up the road as it had recently been graded and being in a low 2wd car I though I would complete the trail

This afternoon we decided on a short cachepedition along the WoopiBucca Trail.

Found this cache after one false start.

T4TC and thanks to earthly65 for all the hard work putting together the WB Trail.

Collecting lots and having fun!

A little trip north today for some caching. With Frankie the labradoodle puppy in tow, we managed to make 29 finds today. Really enjoyed our WoopiBucca drive and we'll be back to finish the series another day. Thanks for your caches earthly65!

Tftc

Today we headed up north to complete the WoopiBucca trail, our first full day caching in a few months.
We managed to make 42 finds and 0 DNF's, the trail was a little washed out in some places but nothing we couldn't handle. Overall it was a great day out.
Thanks for the cache earthly65

Tftc!

Really hope that we don't have to look for this one again as our notes are rather interesting again. Glad to have a smiley. Thanks for the cache.

Thank you for the chach. Found on geo weekend. Find 2762

Dropped the camper into Woolgoolga to have some work done on it, and this series was just across the highway. How could I resist?
Spent the morning on this series then a couple of AdLabs in Coff's.
The GPSr did wander a bit, but when that happened the clues were always good.
A nice range of sizes and hides to keep the trail interesting.
Thanks, Robmc.

After caching yesterday in coffs, we saw these ones when heading home, so after reading the descriptions and looking at the D/T, we thought, these would be a nice start to the day, before we looked at Emerald Beach Adv Labs. However this was not to be the case, either we were having a bad day, or GPS in this area is crap, we struggled through the first 5 even with up to a 17mtr gz error, so I recalibrated the GPS, but was still having mixed success, it would be spot on for one, then out by 10 on others, not the best in this type of terrain.

unfortunately it was not an enjoyable day caching, it took far too long for the amount of caches done, that we were stuffed and unable to do Emerald Beach, but it is done now, traffic was light, but a few logging trucks (thankfully empty) speeding along the roads so take care if it is logging season.

Nice and easy park and grab

It was time to go for a forest drive with ilook4geo and this WoopiBucca series looked like a good run of caches to do. Most were easy enough to find with just a few taking a bit longer. It was an enjoyable day. All found logs had two more names added to them before being put back where they had been found. Thank you to earthly65 for placing this series of caches.

Had a fun caching day with goingplaces2 and found most of the ones we looked for, signed logs and replaced all as found. TFTC.

Found 22/11/2020 with JessYoung96.

Easy find and got it straight away as soon as we got to GZ.

We had the wrong stump at first but geogirlfriend spotted the right one and we popped the lid, signed the log, and had our lunch before we headed to the next one.

TFTC.

Found with TheProdigalGoat on the 22/11/2020

Nice quick find while caching with friends along this pretty country road, some views were exceptional when glimpsed through the tree line. TFTC

Our group DRJ (DiamonJs, Richond Lad and joojoo57) had these caches west of Woolgoolga on our list today. Completed the new series as well as some other cachers close by. Thanks to the COs for your time and effort in placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment to find. It is very much appreciated.

Out and about caching today caching near Woolgoolga and area west doing a trail of caches and other caches along country roads. To the CO's thank you for placing these caches for them to be found (sorry about the generic log ). Most were easy to find, however there were a couple that needed more time to locate. Log signed as DRJ which represents us 3 cachers - DiamonJs, Richmond Lad and joojoo57. Thoroughly enjoyed. TFTC

Easy done!

Hitting this trail today with a couple of hours in hand. Ready to go with this awesome drive. These caches were great. Loved the drive. Thank you.

The government has now allowed for us to move around NSW. We hooked up the caravan & headed north, our 1st stop being Coffs Harbour camping at the Rugby Club.
Today we met up with Coongoola to do the WoopiBucca trail, this was a great drive along some country roads, passing many magnificant trees along the way.
Amazing amount of work done to place this series, lots of very good hints provided making for mostly quick finds.
Thanks for placing this cache earthly65

We met up with the DiMorgan team at 8.30 in Woopi for the WoopiBucca Trail which was recently published. Grub Fred was also there to meet us and presented us with wonderful personalised badges to wear at event caches, Beautiful work from the Grub Fred team.

Mrs & Mrs Grub accompanied us for the first three caches to make sure that he had signed the logs and then DiMorgan team and ourselves got into the thick of it all. The trails through here were first class and would be easily handled by a normal car.

Nearly all the geocaches were in great condition and had excellent coords. We finished the trail by 11.00 and headed off to find a few old ones that had eluded us last time we were up here. Our bellies were sending messages about lunch time so Coongoola Pat and Di headed to the world famous fish & chip shop to ease the hunger pains. The fish & chip shop in the main street has sweet potato scallops which are mouth wateringly good. We ate lunch by the beach where we also found another cache about Shipwrecks, Bonus !

A great day in the backlands of Whoopi, thank you so much earthly65 for placing and maintaining this trail for our enoyment.

Find No: 8116. Visiting from Newcastle (finally allowed to travel) staying at Safety Beach, suddenly noticed a bunch of new caches so we took off in a hurry and got the lot, thanks for the cache earthly65!!

A touch of the old earthly65 hides here... a lot of the hint but this was the most inconspicuous one. TFTC earthly65.

Caching with Bobbiesgirl
This was abeautiful day for caching
We traveled up to do this trail because it sounded like what we wanted , a nice day out with friends, not to hard and doable at a nice easy pace.
We were not disappointed. Alovely trail and a credit to Earthly65. And yes you guessed it cut and paste logs.

Found in the company of ozglory. With restrictions being eased this little trail was just the thing for a much needed caching fix. Beautiful winter's day. The copy and paste logs do not detract in any way from our enjoyment and appreciation of the trail.

had a free day today and found this trail had been placed so close to my parents house, been a while since I’d been geocaching so came out here to attempt it. Found 26/29 so not too bad, unfortunately missed a couple along the way. A great trail out here, all caches well hidden and well out together and a few different ones to keep it interesting. Thanks for these caches and the work that has gone into them.

GPS was about 12m our. Tnln sl

The trail.bikers are catching up to is or going round us , destroys the ambience a bit for me but each to their own way of enjoying the forest. Tftc

Another smiley for the day. Tftc

I’ve only seen one car on the road so far,isn’t it great.TFTC
