WoopiBucca 17.5 Bucca, New South Wales, Australia

We were definitely working as a team to complete our mission today. I think we needed to find 65 caches in the Coffs Harbour local government area and after yesterday I think we only had another 22 to go. This segment of the road was also in amazing shape. Back home in Queensland our highways arent as well looked after as this dirt road is. 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 cullum68 on a day trip to this area. Thanks for the cache

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

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.

Nicely placed

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.[:(!]

An easy enough find once at GZ.

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

Have to log a DNF today and come back another day

Couldn’t find this one but seeing Milly has found it I will come back and see if I can avenge it.

Sorry if this is coming up as a find….I accidentally pressed the wrong button and not sure how to go in and delete. Definitely not found but seeing Millie has found it I’m determined to go back and avenge my DNF!!!

This took a while but after reading the hint properly I quickly zeroed in on the find.

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

Thanks to earthly65 for creating this interesting trail of caches.

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.

Owner maintenance run on 24.8.22...baggy replaced...all good here...happy caching

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. This one took us a while to find.

TFTC quick find

TFTC great hide

It was another shorter rune today as we headed back out into the hills to complete the WoopiBucca trail and then onto Emerald Beach for the Ad Lab there and then a few further caches on the way home.
Great weather and another good day. We enjoyed the bush drive and then the sights along the coast were magnificent.

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

Leider sind wir hier nicht fündig geworden

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

GPS took me for a bit of a wander through the bush, but still found it quickly.

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!

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

Once we found our way in, the find was made quite quickly. Thanks for the cache.

Thank you for the chach. Found on geo weekend. Find 2769

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.

Our plans for Dorrigo were foiled so just driving Willy nilly.around and ended up on this road.TFTC

Just catching up with logging about this fabulous trail I cached with IndigoBlue1 3/11/2020 and you have even squeezed in extra caches, thank you Earthly65

????????

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.

Found it with bek76 and MDT79

Gotcha - Found easy enough. Tftc

Found at 3:10 PM GAFF1.
Wasn't expecting to find a cache there as that is not where you could hide a "regular" according to the geocaching guidelines which say that a Regular is the size of an ammo can! A very subjective area as a Small is the size of an apple according to them - so what are the sizes in between?
Thanks earthly65.

Tftc. Second day of the trail

On the trail again.
Second day of three dog sitting on Woolgoolga Creek Road.

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.

FTF honours to GrubFred!
