Very small thanks

Almost 2 years ago my kids bought me an Akubra hat for my 50th birthday. I love that thing and even wear it when Im mowing. The worst part when you are on a trail is that it doesnt lend itself to wearing a hat. Every time you get in or out of the car it is always being knocked off. 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

We had begun some of these WhoopiBucca caches on another visit to the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the area, the drive and the cache hides so we decided to return and find some more. Again it was a great drive that we enjoyed very much. Many thanks Earthly65. This one was found, log signed and cache returned as found. Cheers and happy caching!

On the hunting trail with Liz and Bruce on a 2024 New Years adventure. A quick find here. Its a great day for caching. TFTC earthly65

Thanks earthly65 for arranging this cache which has enhanced our enjoyment of the area.

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.

Stopped off here where the container was found after a short search, especially with the hint.

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

The location of this cache is a turning point for some

Lovely spot…..a turning point for some!

Great road in the forest. TFTC.

This morning we had some time on our hands to go out and do some mass caching! We decided to come up to the MMT and WoopiBucca trails to get some numbers up for the may challenge. Had a great day out here!

Quick find, found on ground, good hint.

Sorry for all the generic logs.

We hit the local powertrails today in search of a good bag of finds for the monthly challenge, hoping for a few favourites among them….

Thanks earthly65 for a great trail of well maintained caches. Was pleased to finish off this trail today.

Quick find

TFTC

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.

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.

4th cache for the day.

Tftc!

Today we decided to put another dent in the WoopiBucca Trail.

The sign has been removed. The excellent container was on the ground. I placed it on the signpost. The logbook will need replacing as it was soaked.

T4TC and the WB series.

Log is extremely damp, almost destroyed. Unable to write on it so here’s a photo

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

Found with dyarnlee

found with emmyknott

Was on ground super wet put back

Thank you for the chach. Found on geo weekend. Find 2785

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.
As others have mentioned, the sign is gone, but the star picket is still there, and the cache is still in place.
Thanks, Robmc.

LEGIT FOUND IT #DOPE

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.

Thankyou to the CO's for placing the caches

Found cache which is no longer magnetic and no longer near a sign. TFTC

This cache is not near any sign now. Maybe sign has been removed

Out geocaching today with Wandering Me and Magpie Cottage. Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment earthly65

Found with the gorgeous Mystery Sleuth, logged as LH101 - maybe the hint needs to be changed, no sign

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

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: 8134. 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!!

Many thanks to Blissbaby for replacing this cache to keep it in play...much appreciated!!...cache was originally on "gum flat road" sign...all that is left is the star picket...I have kept very suitable and closeby housing for cache Blissbaby chose...but have replaced with a slightly larger..easier to manage for a quick sign and be on your way visit here...happy caching!

It didn't look like there would have been a sign here for the last fifty years but the evidence said there must have been. So where's the cache.... took a minute to become unfocused off a steel post and see a cache staring at us. Should have seen it straight away. 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.

TFTC SL tnln
The sign has vanished so the clue is no longer valid.

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.

Took Nothing Left nothing sl

That’s a cute little container.TFTC

Well I only found the top half of this one, replaced the container with something smaller for now, the co can decide if this throw down (as such) stays or gets replaced. Hint not as relevant but should stiff be able to find the cache which is near by at chest height. Tftc
