Found with lyn999. A nice part of Port Mac we never knew existed. Thanks for showing us the way! Clever hide, nicely done! TN LN SL TFTC
Another sneaky DiMorgan hide, however, I found the container on the ground, luckily everything was still there. I signed the log and replaced lid and put cache back into it's obvious hidey hole. No idea how it got out. FP for the camo. TFTC
Find #: 2,677
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Lovely summer afternoon
Cache condition: container missing lid, but log okay
The rest of the family decided to hide from the heat, but I took it as an opportunity to find some caches! I was pleasantly surprised by how much cooler it was in the reserve. Once at GZ I soon determined the cache's location - TNLNSL TFTC

Another day in beautiful Port Macquarie, and another great cache found. TFTC Fave Point for the great camo
Took a visit to check on this cache. Lid only missing, it has been fixed & all good to go.

This took a lot longer than I thought, possibly due to the distraction of the hundred mozzies.
After a thorough search that revealed nothing, a change of angle was required, and there it was...one too many of that particular thing.

With looming weather, we shot out for an afternoon cache run, heading south to Lighthouse Beach to start. We battled light showers on and off, and found 17 caches (some rippers too), without a DNF.
With a pair of DNFs we were still game, being quietly confident the CO would have dropped by in the meantime.... We checked the obvious spots, and despite having a hide very, very similar to this, still missed it - until eagle eyes Samuel spotted it.... he is on fire this week!
I'm also wondering about these micro-TBs you want in here....
TFTC!

TFTC!DNF for this one, I had a good look all around GZ, for way to long for the rating. also looked at previous logs for any hints.. DiMorgan.

better luck next time While having a stopover in Port Macquarie we decided to walk to a couple of newer caches. It's surprising how many walking trails there are in PM, it's so hard to see them while driving. We set off at a cracking pace till wait..... we're heading to the wrong reserve. 
Yeah, it helps to check the GPS instead of thinking you know where caches are.
A bit of backtracking and we were back on course, following a trail that cut through houses and along footpaths, arriving near the entrance to Blair Reserve. And as long as no-one came through we could have an easy muggle-free search. A sneaky hide found after checking quite a few other places. TFTC DiMorgan, FP!

Found at 4:05 PM GAFF4.
The closest unfound cache to our place and for a D of 2.0, do you think I could find it Went around and around up and down, under and over - Hang on - I know! It's been muggled again [^]
So a call to the CO to tell them the bad news and was told did you check such and such a spot? Nup - that is not where a micro can be hidden that can hold small swaps and TB's! However bugger me silly if it wasn't there
A very nice hide that astounds me how it could have been muggled just recently
Thanks DiMorgan.
Feedback 1: This should be rated a bit higher I reckon and you should also tell cachers what size "small" swaps and TB's can go into that container - ie small enough that you can detect with a microscope would do it
Feedback 2: The current TB that is in there - ie "Yellow Hampsty" is a case in point. It is so small that you can not see it at all, unless I accidentally let it fall out of the container when I opened it! If on the other hand it went missing with the previous muggling then it should be listed as gone - happens once in a while apparently with these pesky TB's

Dropped the daughter off for a 6am surf at Lighthouse beach and decided to come find a cache. I had heard great things about this one, so will have to come back and check it out if you decide to rebuild it! TFTC
As others have said, the container is gone and just a good log sheet in a plastic bag.
If the log sheet is small we may sign as CG. We also visit any trackables that may be travelling along with us for mileage.
Lots of thanks to DiMorgan for placing the cache and adding to our caching adventures.

Found this one today on a trip into town with the kids. A lovely location, I would never have found on my own. We met a very chatty little boy here named Lucas, who told us lots about himself during his walk with mum. TFTC I have sent a message regarding the state of the cache here.
So the cache itself has been muggled. I found the log just sitting on the ground and the spot where I assumed the cache would be was empty. I had a bit of a look around but couldn’t find anything that could be the cache. I signed and put it in a plastic bag so it wouldn’t get ruined but there is no container
Great cache. Muggles were there but turns out they were caching too team effort
On our evening walk, quickly spotted by Mrs LHBfans. TFTC DiMorgan. Found 25/6/20 3:37 pm. Cache 1827 for us.
