DNF

Im kind of notorious for not seeing this type of cache and Im not surprised I didnt find it. Gorgeous spot. Thanks for bringing me here, Goldberry17.

Looked for a while was most likely right in front of my face but we sale had to mark as DNF will come back another day and try again

This just proved too much of a challenge for us today. We'll be back for another go.

Looked for a while but no luck

Found with Hobbitaa Tftc

Really neat cache. Great little spot to check out

Maintenance check - all good. Fresh log sheets added.

Had a bit of a look the other day and after a further hint a longer look today. Still took a fair while but eventually I found it. Phew

You either spot these ones or you dont! Fortunately, today, we did. What a lovely growth of trees with a view of the lake from the path through them. Beautifully placed. TFTC.

Nice walk and secret tree path... Lots of ducks.. Tftc and for first sudo find for karlee from snapchat

GPS was too jumpy so I gave up and will look another
Time.

Horse trail no horse

Thanks for putting this cache out in a lovely spot ,love the effort of the cubby house nearby , wonder what the cost of the houses by the lake , love your work thanks

Had to wait for a muggle family and their dog to leave before I could start walking to GZ, what a cute little fort nearby . Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl

A bit further along the track we entered a small grove of trees, and while I was watching the GPS MrsFish called out that she had found it, but could not get the log so I had to do that. Thanks for bringing us to this nice lake and placing the cache.

Nice morning for a walk, easy find

Great spot, hidden nicely. Definitely use the clue lol found this cool hut on the pathway too

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 12479.

Took a little while to spot. I need to trust the GPS more.

Thanks Goldberry17 for the cache.

Must admit that this cache is hard to find even tho I felt the co-ords were spot on. Nice area with no muggles. Thanks for the cache.

Visiting my in-laws at East Maitland. I headed over with GeodogZelda to grab these 2 tribute caches by the lagoon. A walk through the shaded forest then while I was on the phone, I spotted it hanging around, signed and replaced.

Such a lovely area here by the lagoon. A fitting location for the tribute. TFTC

This took way too long, and i cannot really explain why. Stands out like the proverbial really. Different times of day would change this a lot. Metres were all over the place, and even when reading 0 on my phone, it was in the middle of the trail. Good place to zone in on, i suppose. I actualy read a log, which helped, saying only needed the 1 hint. Helped me anyway. TFTC.

Another train trip with the bike today to grab a couple of caches. This one took a while.My phone wouldn't settle down. A nice hide. TFTC Goldberry17.

This one was tricky - I walked past it a few times but then spotted it. TFTC!

Son lost interest

I seem to remember a cache here some years ago. It's a lovely spot. Found with Steam koala.

3rd cache for the day with nellc, nice out-of-the-way park and good views of the lagoon. The cache was soon spotted hanging around in a cool spot. Log signed and replaced as found.
Thanks to Goldberry17 for placing this cache.

Found on 3/3/23. Difficult one to spot. Well hidden. Took me about 10 solid minutes to find.

Loved the spot...hard to find...worth another fav.

Found co-ords jumped around a bit

Found it, very difficult, excellent spot

Gave up on that one

TFTC after messaging the CO I found the cache. My gps was playing up and I was in the wrong place. All it took was one little hint and I found it. Then wherever I moved I could see it. That’s always the way. I think I’m mad as it’s 32 degrees here today and I’ve walked from the other cache. Roar enjoyed the walk until I was hovering in the wrong place then he got restless. I never knew this lagoon was here. Another favourite from me for your thoughtfulness towards are beautiful friend.

Was just about to give up when I finally spotted the cache

Too tricky for me to find in the middle of the night, so an early return this morning for a quick find. TFTC

We reversed our plans for the day chasing an FTF in the area, so cached our way from East Maitland through Kurri and Cessnock to Rothbury, nailing 18 finds on the way. It feels like a long time since we picked up so many in our area.
I've never seen a horse exercise park!
We walked down to the lagoon through the nice little track and started searching, we went back and forth a bit, concentrating near the cache by the trampled ground, but still couldn't find it. We had to deploy a PAF, which narrowed us back to where we were searching, then I spotted it... This may not be a 1.5/1.5..... I'd give it a 3/1.5, based on the multitude of hides available.... TFTC!

We seemed to be a bit cache blind initially but the coords were good and eventually the geo senses did the trick. TNLN TFTC

After grabbing a nearby FTF we decided to cache the rest of the day away in this area, grabbing all the ‘4 SAMMITZ’ caches that are surrounding this area!

After walking to GZ here we found where the hiding location, but no cache, but after a PAF we had the sneaky hide in hand!

TFTC, TNLN SL

Nice find. Although it did take a while with so many possible locations. TFTC
