Very hard to find thanks

TftcFirst find for the day. Stopped on the way to the Mushroon trail.1 of 45

We started a bit tentatively today because everything was wet. Then we realised we had driven over four hours just to tick off one tiny bit of a challenge and realised we just had to suck it up. A few drops of rain shouldnt have stopped us from completing our mission (and it didnt). 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 are nearly at the finish of this section of the WhoopiBucca caches. Weve loved doing these caches. The drive, the scenery, the birds, and surprisingly after all the rain, the road is in good condition. We found all the caches we looked for which was fabulous. Thank you Earthly65 for placing this series. 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, as we started on the wrong side of the road.

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

This was an easy find, however the lantana is closing in which will eventually kill this cache

Beautiful babbling brook…. Lotsa lantana closing in though!!

Just time for one find today. 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, GPS had us on the other side of the road originally but then Dad spotted it.

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….
Cheers!

This one took the longest to find on the trail today. GPS had me on one side of the road and I swear I looked in dozens of trees for the cache. Just as I was about to admit defeat I noticed the cache clinging to a tree on the opposite side of the road!! Judging by the geotrails where I was first looking, I may not have been the only one to have this problem. Very glad I didn't have to mark this as a DNF! TFTC

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.

TFTC a quick find along our journey this time.

Found it

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 nicht fündig geworden

Found on a lovely Easter Monday caching day to get another signal frog souvenir, and to finish the Woopi/Bucca Trail I started in October 21.

Log a little damp but still able to write on.

7th cache for the day.

Tftc!

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

This cache was initially a DNF until we had a second look on the way home.

A frog in the nearby creek was making a very interesting call.

T4TC and the WB series.

TFTC loving this trail.

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

Our first geocaching adventure! Thanks

Thank you for the chach. Found on geo weekend. Find 2788

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.
That caught me out - wrong side of the road.
Thanks, Robmc.

Yhup I found it

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.

Quick find . Love this trail. Tftc.

Just catching up with logging about this fabulous trail I cached with IndigoBlue1 3/11/2020 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.

Cheers

Missed-ya - Didn't like the feel of this place so gave up. Tftc

Found at 1:57 PM GAFF3 at a distance of 10 metres.
This one took a bit longer to locate as first we were on the wrong side of the creek and then we were on the wrong side of the road [B)]
It was eventually spotted and you just had to look down in despair at the simple "in your face" hide that we couldn't find for a few minutes
Thanks earthly65.

Cache fatigue setting in and not seeing the obvious now. Almost there. TFTC

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.

FTF honours to GrubFred!
