Despite being on ground zero unable to detect yet another cache , getting frustrated
We looked at a few potential hiding spots before finding the cache. Luckily the area was quiet today. It is quite a peaceful spot to relax.Thanks for the cache!
In Grafton for another work layover, so took the opportunity to grab a cache during my short visit. I always enjoy a stroll around the streets of Grafton. The community certainly take a lot of civic pride in their beautiful town.Arrived at GZ to find a Muggle parked very close to the hide. Not being prepared to compromise the cache, I strolled into town to find a cafe for lunch and a much needed coffee. After my leisurely lunch, I returned to the GZ and had the location all to myself. This made finding the prize relatively quick and easy.Slowly chipping away at my Jasmer Challenge and finding this cache allows be to cross another month off the list. TFTC. TNLN. SL.

Thanks again Indigo Blue for undertaking maintenance on this one. It was quite busy here today with hockey being played. I was able to park right beside the hide and had quickly signed this new log.
It hasnt been found for 9 months and maintenance was to be done late last year. I did not check before I came here today. I wonder how many have not bothered to record DNF.
Believe maintenance required on this cache as returned and another dnf. Lots of white things on ground but no cache
Looked without success. After reading a previous life g about when the we searched a little further but a no show.
Had a good idea of what the cache was hiding under, but it does not appear to be here anymore, with a few of those items laying on the ground
There was not a muggle in sight for this one and as we are camped nearby it was a no brainer about u looking for the cache. Co-ords are good which led to a quick find. SL TFTC
No one was around today. Was nice to see a new log book to sign. Took Nothing Left nothing Signed Log
Finally made it back to turn the frown upside down. No one around today. Thanks for replacing the cache.

Nice one, good urban hide. The birds were having a field day eating the fig fruit above me while I searched. Tftc
Dropped my pen somewhere along the walk to this one. TFTC MANY HRS placing hockey here while growing up and turned it into my profession for many years after.
Cheeky, I looked under the wrong thing at 1st, but soon realised there’s other things to look under
First one I’ve found don’t know what to write here, will need new paper after another 10 people.
The toughest part of this cache was finding access for us. In the end we parked just off the road and walked across the oval. No sporting muggles today so the cache was found in the 3rd or 4th place we looked.
Time to move on today, so we packed up and made a shortish journey to Grafton. There were a great series of caches on the old highway beside the freeway so we diverted onto it and picked up those on the way.
We set up camp at Jabour Park, a great basic camp and then headed out after lunch to do the Adventure Lab in town and also some traditional caches.
A good day for caching spoiled only a bit by the wind, but some interesting sights to be seen round this older town. We saw some remnants of the recent floods, but in general the town appears to have bounced back well.
Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache IndigoBlue1.

Quick find between hockey games at the U15’s state championships. Nice little win over Canberra to start the tournament. TFTC
GPSr had me looking a few metres away and trying all sorts of places before finally grabbing this
A touch of serendipity. We were stretching our legs and giving The Pirate a walk when a quick search saw this one pop up. Thanks for placing the catch here.
Haven’t been to this spot for years. Brings back memories of afternoon tennis. Thankyou
Found yesterday whilst teaching our daughter to ride without training wheels. TFTC
Drive right up to it. Compass would not settle down!Coongoola & Geodog found your cache today, 20 May 2021 10:20 am , while enjoying another day out adding to our tally. TFTC IndigoBlue1
This took to long to find lol, amazing no the less! Signed. Shout out to the geo tennis player who saw me trip in the mud! (They are not a muggle) said hi to the tennis court owner great find
Offered a spare seat on a roadtrip with The Rats and Wilbert67 to the Dayboro Mega, jumped at the chance to accept, and together with Steeba (who flew up), we joined forces to become “the Gong Gang” over the Easter weekend. Aside from the rain and threats of last minute border restrictions, it turned into 2500km of fun, finds and adventures. Thanks to the Gang for the invite, company and shared solves/searches and all the COs for the smiley opportunities. Apologies for the generic log (unless further comments required) but we got through a LOT!! Found while waiting for Pizza or back at our final campsite for the trip. Had to avoid standing still too long with the mozzies so figured we’d do some caching to assist with movement!
Found this cache as part of our Easter long-weekend road trip to the Dayboro mega event. A great adventure and plenty of finds, teamed up with Wilbert, Mizmaz and steeba for this roadtrip.
Many of our logs are signed with "Gong gang" to represent all four of us who were present. Apologise for the boiler style log.
We camped in the showground so this was a short walk from campsite. Found in the first spot we looked.
Thanks for the cache.

Second day of mega and the weather turned off. We are still out there and caching, just getting wet, but thats all part of the game. A lot of caches found again in the Dayboro area before we left in the afternoon. A few more caches on our trip home to NSW this Sunday afternoon as well.

Found at 10:44 AM GAFF3.
We weren;t sure how to access this location so in the end we walked across from Prince Street until we got to a spot where we yelled out - WE COULD HAVE DRIVEN RIGHT UP TO GZ DAMN IT!!!
Anyway - a few extra steps I suppose does good for your health [xx(]. We then started to disturb a heap of ants nests until we found the right one and there it was!
Thanks IndigoBlue1.

Quick trip to Grafton today. This was a sneaky little hide. I have always liked Grafton’s sporting facilities. TFTC.
Grafton Day 2
We have now settled into the Greyhound Racing Club at Grafton for a few days.
After a big morning out we settled on doing a couple of caches closer to where we were camped.
Another clever hide, once again it was hubby who made the find.
Thankyou IndigoBlue1 for placing this cache.

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.
Arrived in Grafton for a few days caching and with time to spare decided to try and find the "town" caches before checking into our accommodation.
visiting Grafton, for some Grandie day care, so what better way than to look for some treasure. A few to pas the day with Hartog17.

Today running early in the truck and in need to find a cache for today,this was it,I parked and walked along side some lovely big fig trees and had the cache in a flash.TFTC.
Another great day out with the geoniece and geonephew. A nice little spot that most wouldn’t know exists, unless involved in the sports nearby. Thanks for bringing us here. A sneaky little hide too. TFTC
FTF FTW!
Took a bit. I looked everywhere! It wasn't until I had given up and walking back to the car that I noticed something.
Nice hide.
