What a fantastic find! This cache took me on a delightful journey through local history. The School Museum's location is a treasure in itself, with its rich educational heritage and charming ambiance.I arrived on a sunny afternoon, and the museum grounds were serene and picturesque. After a brief exploration and a few curious glances from passersby, I zeroed in on the cache's hiding spot. The camouflage was clever, blending seamlessly with the surroundings. Inside, the cache was in great condition, stocked with an array of interesting trinkets and a well-preserved logbook. I added a small toy soldier to the collection and signed the logbook with a sense of accomplishment. Thank you to the cache owner for placing such a thoughtfully hidden cache in an area steeped in history. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to my next adventure!Happy caching, everyone!TFTC!
Greetings from School Museum Park! What a delightful find this geocache was, nestled amidst the historical charm of this park. The coordinates led me to a cleverly hidden spot where the container was waiting patiently.Opened it up to find an assortment of treasures and trinketsa small notebook for logging, which I'm using now, and an assortment of tiny toys and stickers. I took a little dinosaur keychain and left a shiny marble in its place.The park itself is a serene place, with the old school building turned museum adding a unique backdrop to the search. The chirping of birds and distant chatter of visitors enjoying the exhibits make this a perfect spot for a cache.Many thanks to the cache owner for maintaining such a neat spot. Signing off now to continue exploring the museum. Happy caching to all future seekers
Checked on this one today, lid was off and container full of water. All dried and ready to go. Please ensure you put the lid on securely.
Thanks for arranging this cache which has enhanced our enjoyment of the area. Not where we expected.
Driving along the riverside this afternoon.Heatwave forecast 38 degrees,so some park n grab to keep us in the air conditioning of the car.Scenery is spectacular along this road.Tftc IndigoBlue1

This looks like an interesting place to visit, although it was closed when we stopped off today. It was still nice to park under the trees by the side of the road and walk around in the shade.
We looked around for a little while before going up and over and making a quick find.
Thanks for the cache!

Log and container wet. Coongoola & Geodog are on an adventure after attending the Townsville Mega event in Qld. We found your cache today 16 June 2022 1:45 pm , while enjoying another day out adding to our tally. TFTC IndigoBlue1
Interesting spot. Sadly closed while I was here today, which wasn't unexpected. The dog enjoyed some time exploring and leaving his scent in a variety of spots. Tftc
We weren't sure whether to go over the fence or not however Mr Herbz spied something red and moved it out to see if there was a cache behind it, there was not. There was, however, a massive Huntsman fast asleep- yuck. We then decided where to look and Mr Herbz came up empty,we tried another spot and this time Mr Herbz directed Mrs Herbz to the cache location. A nice little hide. TFTC
Pulled up near GZ and there was another car there. I wondered if it was Angry Margie as I had been signing the caches after them today. Some how I don't think so. There was a muggle asleep in the front seat.
So I was quick to find the cache before she woke up.

Found at 4:47 PM GAFF1.
After finishing of the Bird Art series we headed back to our camp and along the way we found a cache that we hadn't found when we were here in early March.
We didn't go to the museum, but some of your comments in the cache description explained what we were to have expected to see, which is usually just fascinating when you consider how tough the early pioneers had to work at just for basic schooling.
Thanks IndigoBlue1

In Grafton for a few days to hopefully make some finds in the area. Thanks for placing these caches. TFTC
Noticed that there were a whole lot of new caches placed around the Grafton area so a group of us decided to make a mini holiday and find as many as we could. Many thanks to the CO for placing these caches.
On a quick drive to Yamba to visit the 'rents.
Thanks for the trail. Let's see how many I get and not be late to dinner.
That's two. Still okay.

Out and about caching today around the countryside, while visiting from Brisbane. Today found a number of caches and thank you to the CO for their placement. TFTC
Our second full day in Grafton and staying mostly around town - luckily we did because a storm blew through around lunch time and no more caching for the day!!! Thanks to the COs for placing these caches to enhance the enjoyment of caching - it is greatly appreciated for your time and effort.
Lived in Maclean/Yamba area for 10 years and never visited this museum - must do next time I'm in town.

Found some nice easy caches along this picturesque part of the lower Clarence. Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment IndigoBlue1
Have found a cache at this park many years ago, I remember it was hard to find,this one had a tell tail sign which gave it away.TFTC
Visiting from QLD now that the border restrictions have eased. Out with the caching grandaughter (HARTOG17) showing her how it is done, found this one and noticed that we were 2nd to find.
