TFTC Nice spot to have a sit down in the shade of a magnificent fig, after a long walk with GeoDogscache is
Lovely location but a storms coming so made a quick get awayThanks 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 Grafton at the Crown Hotel I woke early and started the hunt for local caches with a view of working my way towards Coffs Habour.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
Thanks for arranging this cache which has enhanced our enjoyment of the area.
We found it at night which resulted in us being spooked by cows and the cows being spooked by us hahahaha
With the curious cows looking on we spotted the cache from the car! Out and about with CAD1 on a lovely day in Grafton T4TC:)

Stopped by this cache on an after dinner bike ride. Funny that the figs and Jacarandas each have their own little sections throughout Grafton. There are certainly some impressive specimens of both species around.
Took a little bit to find the cache as we were initially looking for the right style of hide but on the wrong object. As dark set in we managed to find the little container.
Thanks for the cache!

Waterlogged cache. Needs maintenance. I quickly signed the wet paper but didn’t unfold TFTC
I called in to do maintenance on this cache today and there were people working on site. The fence with the cache is still intact but I could not see the cache or investigate with all the muggles about. I will get back there in a few weeks.
Fence is currently ripped down. We weren't successful in finding.
We thought possibly it has washed away with floods or the fence removal has destroyed it

We returned to this cache as the final one for the day as we had to drive past earlier due to workers close by. It took a minute or two, but Mrs SKI finally spotted it.
We set out reasonably early today as rain was predicted later, but still ended up dodging a few heavy showers along the way.
Our main focus was on the Bird Art series, but we also looked for other caches nearby to the route we were traveling. This was a bonus as we came across some creative hides and some great views of the Clarence River. A day well spent.
Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache IndigoBlue1.

Last find for the day as it was starting to get dark and I was getting hungry. I found the coordinates to be out somewhat but in the end it was a quick find. Thanks for the fun.

Had to make a hasty retreat back to this one as I left my new Garmin on the post, boy was I relieved when I got back to find the Fig Tree was guarding it. Coongoola & Geodog found your cache today, 18 May 2021 2:57 pm , while enjoying another day out adding to our tally. TFTC IndigoBlue1
Found at 2:44 PM GAFF1.
There are tow of them and those imposing buttress roots are meandering towards the road
Thanks IndigoBlue1

Poor caged figs! I suppose the cows appreciate their shade in the heat of summer though. TFTC
Was solving the puzzle series, when the geo daughter and granddaughter turned up, so off we went with them to grab a few of the non pemium caches. Grand daughter getting more interested each time we come back to grafton to cache, with all the new ones they may be temped to go permium.

In Grafton for several days of caching and the weather is much better than last visit. Signed with our initials. Thanks to the COs for the many places you have hidden your caches and the interesting places you have brought us to.
In Grafton for a few days to hopefully make some finds in the area. Thanks for placing these caches. TFTC
Thoroughly enjoying our tour of the lovely green countryside collecting all the caches along the way. These magnificent old trees never cease to impress me. log signed with our initials to save space. Many thanks to the CO for placing.
Took a lot longer than I thought it would but found it in the end. At first I thought it was in the tree but later on the cache revealed itself to me. If your having trouble than you might have to keep your head down. TFTC
Out geocaching today with Wandering Me. Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment IndigoBlue1
Thought I'd do a night run. Day time is so much easier.
Spotted this little guy though.
