Suspicious pile of sticks at base of tree. Didn't find cache. Looked up and down and all around
Unable to find with tassie expat. Did note a suspicious grouping of bark at gz but no success at cache. Thanks anyway.
Quick find on my way in to have morning tea in the bird hide while watching the birds. Thanks for the cache.
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Making our way to Broken Hill for Mundi Mundi Bash. Today we moved from Inverell to Uralla. Once set up in the showground we headed on over to Walcha using geocaching as our guide. We found this cache today. TFTC TeamAllaru
Turn that previous frown upside down !!!Good to come back here and log this cacheTFTC
Second attempt at this one on another trip to Uralla. Happy to turn a DNF into a found.
While travelling to Tamworth for a few days with my geodog Scruffy ??, We just had to get stop and find a few caches along the way ...All Good .. TFTC .. ??
After a great night sleep it was back on the road again and collecting more smilies on a map. First off was this little town called Tamworth and for me this place needs a little more investigating. The golden guitar is fun but there is a lot more to this place. Today sees me driving the high areas and trying to stay away from the rain. It's Tamworth, Walcha, Uralla, Armidale and into Karara for the night.The rain was starting to come down so I thought I would try and get in some caches that are quick and easy, along with a lab and a puzzle cache. In Tamworth I had completed the adventure Lab so there was a bonus to that (which I did not find) ok a couple others and then I need to start moving further up the road. Leaving town and I saw this letterbox series of caches. Easy park up to and some very interesting works. I am looking forward to a drive into Walcha and check out the town. It has been 40 years since I was last here, wow how it has changed and some great caches. On the way now along Thunderbolts Way and just a couple of quick stops before I saw a FTF on the other side of Uralla. Yep would be nice for another FTF for the journey. I found this one and signed the log and replaced the cache as found, thanks for the hide.
here ist a wonderful silent place. and after we observed the great lagoon and his residents i looked around for a cache. and there really was one.tftcurmasuri from bremerhaven/germany
Out doing a maintenance run after some DNFs and unfortunately this cache and its camo has been muggled. Cache replaced. Good luck and happy Caching
With two previous dnf's, we didn't stay too long in the 30 degree heat with nothing "obviously our of place" on the pathway as previously logged.
On our way to the hide when I spotted something out of place, signed log and returned

Easily spotted. Had a look at the platform, birds are using it for a coop. LOL!. Tftc.
A nice easy park and grab. Went to viewing platform, lots of ducks. Bit overgrown on walkway. TFTC
Found it! I think that it has been moved from where it was originally hidden, but we found it when we were looking at some birds! Ppl
Heading home after a few days exploring and caching around the Armidale area.
The grass sure is tall around here, spotted a familiar object and sure enough, there was the cache
Thanks for the cache

Nice hide in a quiet spot. The recent rains meant the waters edge was only meters away, but we found it safely hiding. Thanks!
Found at 11:49 AM GAFF1.
We were here in Oct 2016 to search for "Swamphen" which we couldn't find as the water was under the bird hide and then exactly a year later we came back with geono to find the cache that survived the flooding. However the cache was subsequently archived due to the CO (same one who owned Kentucky) stopped caring for his caches.
Coming here today was interesting as the flood water had come up so far that you couldn't even get into the Bird Hide let alone go under it - which what happened in 2016.
Thankfully the cache was found in a very logical spot well away from the bird hide - maybe a bit too exposed, but it has lasted!
Thanks TeamAllaru.

We have coomenced our journey towards Townsville Mega Event.
Our lunch break was at Walcha where we also found a new cache recently hidden there.
We then spent 2 nights at Uralla staying at a geocaching friends farm. A lot of new caches placed here.
Urall to Tamworth we stopped to find a few caches along the road.
Finally today we have made an overnight stop at the new CMCA camp at Gunnedah.
We discovered some new locations & found a variety of good caches.
Thankyou TeamAllaru for placing this cache.

Nicely hidden checked out the platform so much water around. Thanks and fav point
Good to see lots of water in Dangars, bird hide was floating. Easy find. Well logged.
When the viewing platform's surrounded by water you know the lagoon's probably as full as it's gonna get. Enough water for the wind to whip into waves today. A good hide... we weren't one bit excited about the prospect of tramping through long grass. Thankfully we didn't have to. [^] TFTC TeamAllaru.
After finding a cache nearby, dad, my brother & I came here to get another *FTF*. This one was a cool hide. TFTC.
Just a little late this afternoon, but located the new neat and tidy cache. Signed sealed and replaced. [2TF] Thanks TeamAllaru .

Found with dad & my sister on the last day of school for this year. I like the lagoon here & we got the *FTF*. I also took the cool trackable. TFTC, TeamAllaru!
After picking up a nearby cache, I checked the *FTF* status for the ones published yesterday & luckily this one was still up for grabs. The geokids & I made our way here & they jumped out of the car & sprinted off to find the cache before the other. When I spotted the cache I had to call them back, as they'd completely missed it Cool hide & thanks for another cache in the area, TeamAllaru!
