Certainly a nice spot to view the river below, however no cache could be found Sad If it was in the corner under a black cap, then the cap is gone and so is the cache. If it wasn't supposed to be there, then we as usual have trouble in finding a mere 1.5/1.5 rated cache [B)]

No where to be found. All hints and coordinates lead to corner of the fence but we were unsuccessful

Unfortunately I have decided I will be disabling some of my Caches. There are two many going missing. It's unfortunate that some people just have nothing better to do but spoil things for others.

Stayed at Uralla for a couple of days before heading into Queensland.town
Today our trip was to Guyra, Glen Innes & Inverell, had an AL to find in each of these towns which gave us a good tour of the towns.
After setting up at the caravan park in Inverell we headed out to find a few of the local caches.
This was our last find before leaving town, great views from GZ
Thanks for placing this cache

I checked the whole black fence no cache no signs that one was there and the hint didn’t help also if it is on the wooden fence it is impossible to get there without walking through 1 meter tall grass

Thought we were going to have quite a serious change in altitude here but things were better than we expected. This was quite a quick and easy find. We were so glad as we were getting tired with caching around the town and country and it was near the end of the day. After signing the log and replacing we clambered back to the geovehicle.
Many thanks for the caches of yours we found today Andrew64sx.

Don't think we've ever seen a platypus at a platypus lookout...... but we did see a likely hide for the cache. Some fantastic walkways along the river but luckily for cache hunting, there wasn't many using them. TFTC Andrew64sx.
