Tree Hugin Rock Goonellabah, New South Wales, Australia
By Sharkfinone on 18-Sep-20. Waypoint GC905DV

After looking around 3 sides of the rock, and then around several other spots that might fit the clue, I finally looked at the other side and the container was sitting out in plain view. Signed and replaced and provided with a little cover. Thanks for the cache

TFTC. Plenty of spiders but we got there.

Nice little cache. Tiny bit of bush wacking. I need a stick for spider webs.

Found it but we forgot to bring writing implement because we are a little fickle. Will log as soon as I remember next time.

Geo dog loves a good rock garden.

Well, it may have taken a few years but we finally found this one. Very satisfying, While signing the log, a couple with dog strolled past so if you are wondering if it's well hidden, I have proof. Didn't give us a glance. tftc

Good hide. TFTC

Found it

Thank you so much this was such a fun cache to find.

Moved 30 meters west away from undergrowth.

The area has become too over grown. Will add a new cache to the creek walk soon.

I'd looked at a couple of approaches to this one but couldn't pick up a trail. Then came in from the South for a very pleasant afternoon wander. A good, solid track most of the way but the last few metres could use a some mowing or a bit more foot traffic. Overshot a little, which was good because the bush is a bit clearer there, all the way down to the creek. No platypus seen but a few ducks doing touch-and-go aerobatics. Approached GZ from below. Searched one impressive former giant and then the next nearby. Probing around and I soon heard the unmistakeable sound of kiwi plastic.The area is a bit overgrown but not inaccessible. Just watch the first step if comeing down directly from the trail.Thanks Sharkfinone.

Got to 20m out from the location and its so badly overgrown I didnt want to risk it.

Couldn't explore to much into the bush because it's very overgrown ATM.

Found a lid of a sistema container but no geocache...

Had a good loom around in all the obvious places, no sign of any cash anywhere

There was an empty jar but no contents.

Good one! Log book and cache was wet unfortunately, and I don’t have the supplies on me to fix it.

A road trip with my best man and his family; heading towards Kempsey with a few stops along the way, then returning via a different route and arriving home just before Christmas. We have camped up at a Hipcamp at Coffee Camp. It is a Mango Farm with all sorts of alternative foods and medicines, very different, but for us it is a base to camp and have a camp fire at night.

Today I went for a little drive around the Lismore area, exploring the area and grabbing a few caches since the floods. The area has seen some places back up and running again and some not so up and running. Of the caches I visited some seemed to manage and withstand the floods, some seemed to have been replaced, so thank you to those CO’s.

This was a nice walk around a little creek area, oh there is another on the path further up. I should walk to that one as well. What a nice little spot thank you for bringing me here.
Thanks for the cache and the hide, I signed the log and returned all as found.

FTF! What a great spot. Clues were perfect. Not too easy. Not too hard.

Missing cache and log has been replaced.

This cache is missing. It will be replaced soon.

A nice mountain bike ride got us here, and nice to see some nature

Cache found but has a soggy loggy

We thought we were in the right spot but couldn't find it.

found but did not retrieve

Tftc

Another date cleared thank you. Easy find walking with Renroc. The trees here are camphors and have been poisoned. The cache may need to be relocated when they take them down.

I had time to kill before picking up KTB from the sports club so I decided to take a wander down the butterfly walk.
It was quite enjoyable seeing the continuous improvement over time. I actually know the bloke who's doing it. Pretty much on his own. On his days off and holidays. Bless him for having a hobby that continually improves this area for the community and the ecosystem.

I also happened to come across dozens of painted rocks along my way hidden here and there, from some other hobby being enjoyed here as well.

Eventually got to the GZ and found the cache, signing and returning it before heading back. This area may be next in line for removal of exotic plants, this tree being one of them. Perhaps old mate will replace it with a nice quandong or something and the cache won't be disturbed.

Cheers go to the CO for bringing me along this walk, much appreciated and a fun visit.

Took us all on a wild goose chase

Found it really nice walk . Be warned the GPS will take you to Earls ct but you need to make your way to Allambie

I love this area, such a beautiful place to walk and explore. TFTC.

I went for a walk in Birdwing Butterfly Gully to find some caches. It was a nice afternoon and close to sunset. I stopped in GZ and spotted a likely place to look. The hint is a very accurate description of the hide. The contents are fairly dry after all the recent rains. Thanks for the cache

Went the long way around twice but found it easily when we got there

Car GPS took us to wrong side of creek, had to go the other way around

Great location for a cache. We love a good adventure. Thanks

Good little spot!

Found this one this afternoon, I do like this path which geocaching has brought me to on a few occasions now and still love it.TFTC.

Found this one later in the day when we met up with caching friends. Sorry we missed meeting your grandaughter but we had to leave as soon as found to head home for some appointments - another time. TFTC.

Out and about caching today along with fellow geocachers. Arrived and started searching when one of us fell. All OK. Cache found and log signed. TFTC Sharkfinone

A bit of an adventure at this geocache. With plenty of leaves scattering the ground we were treading carefully when all of a sudden geohubby rolled elegantly and unharmed to the ground. Luckily we had assistance to get him back on his feet. Good thing he falls so well and doesn't hurt himself. We all had a bit of a laugh. When we'd signed the log our geofriends left us and while we were still there another geocacher arrived and we had a great chat. It was lovely to meet you Skylin-grey. It's always really nice to meet other geocachers on the trail. Thanks for the cache that brought us along this lovely walk Sharkfinone.
Cheers and happy caching!

Haha found it pop

TFTC
Went for my daily walk today, and finally took in this beautiful walkway and scenery. Nice easy find thanks to the hint.

Cheers

Was about to go for a walk and this popped up very close to home. So I put on my shoes and set off. Need a cache find tomorrow but the FTF will be gone by then. Great hide. Thanks.
