Meeting of the Waters Tumbulgum, New South Wales, Australia
By The Rats on 23-Jan-05. Waypoint GCMJY7

After confirming today that this one has been washed away, I will archive it.

Couldn't find. May have been swept away in the recent flood?

Disabled till I can inspect this one

With all the recent rain the river was high today. It was lapping at the grass it was that high. HWD and I parked up the road and wandered on down towards GZ where I spotted the cache on approach. No one was paying any attention to us so it was a nice quick find, sign and replace.
Quite a nice little spot down here, even a water skier was taking advantage of the location.
Thanx again

Found with my husband before visiting a local shop. We bought a very nice camphor laurel wood, stemmed drinking glass. Oh, yes, my husband also had a quick beer before doing the return river cruise back to Tweed Heads. Thanks for the hide, The Rats.

2nd forthe day now for some lunch at the pub. Quite easy when you think about the clue

TFTC

Heading back to Brisbane after a couple days at Brunswick Heads. Try to stay off the highway as much as possible, and find a few aches along the way.

Pulled into Tumbulgum, had our normal coffee and cache, before heading out for another piece of cache. This one, another easy find. Thanks The Rats for the hide

28.10.16
Found on a nice sunny morning in Tumbulgum. Nice cache, nice view. Spoke to some muggles nearby who were very interested in what we were doing-now potential new geocachers.

TFTC

Found it

I keep telling myself this will be the last cache, this will be the last cache, this will be the last cache, well I think maybe I finally got to last one before I get back to Brisbane finally. The light is starting to fail and it's getting colder .
This is an easy find for my height. Comes in handy sometimes. It's a beautiful spot that just beside the very wide and quiet River that runs through this place. It's great for fishing kayaking just generally having picnics out of course finding bull sharks. Tftc

Raining so we took shelter we watched the mist rolling over the mountain, the rain easing a bit so decided to have another search. And P resto found it!
Tftc The Rats and for bringing us to this beautiful spot. :^)

Made it to GZ just as a downpour began... at least we were in the right spot! and a perfect excuse to stay there and ponder the hint. After several looks in a promising spot, I employed a tactic I like to call "stick my hand there and hope I don't get bitten by something bad", lo and behold, a cache! Finally!

Nice quick find after a lovely cruise on the Tweed River tftc

Magnificent little part of the tweed river! Tftc

Out with Geopartner heading to Murwillumbah for the night.
After arriving at a small riverside town and enjoying the history around to read.
Photos taken of the view.
Wandered over to GZ for a quick find.
Signed the log and returned to hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks The Rats All good with this cache

Quick find thanks for the cache

Quick find with bennyboppers and mnance on our way to Mt warning. Nice spot here. tftc

A nice spot here with lisylou and mnance101 and tash on our way to mt warning

On our way to Mt Warning, Bennyboppers, Lisylou, muggle Tash and myself decided to do this cache. I found this one. TFTC!

Found at 10:23 AM GAFF1.
c-pprass was let loose to find this cache in this lovely little neat town, while p=pprass went looking to get the gas cylinder refilled - that didn't happen btw. So when we got reunited, it was found that c-pprass still couldn't locate the cache, so it was upto p-pprass to put his hands on it nearly straight away.
Thanks The Rats.
Feedback: The Terrain rating for this cache needs to be at least a 2.0

Nice easy find after lunch at the tavern...TFTC!

Quick find after lunch at the pub.

Out and about enjoying the sunshine today on a weekend drive. It was lunchtime and we decided to have lunch here.
Some amazing vegetarian fare on offer at the cafe over the road. It was cool to see photos inside of various flood levels over the years here.
After lunch we wandered over the road to see if I could avenge my recent DNF. There was no muggles today which made the search much faster and thankfully today I can convert to a smiley.
Thanks for the cache rats this really is a stunning location. I wish i had a houseboat!

Making a detour on the way to Byron Bay. Stopped for a drink at the pub and to get a couple of caches

Found quite quickly whilst travelling after cooly rocks
TFTC

A quick find thanks. TFTC

No luck for me today I'm afraid... i searched everything that matched the hint and quite a few other places besides, all to no avail. It wasnt to be. Thats caching...
I enjoyed my visit to tumbulgum today and will likely return soon to try again at some stage.
Thanks for bringing me here.

Found it

Nice arvo trip to local caches. This was the 1st of the 5 caches we found. Took a little bit of time because of all the muggles around. I'm still excited about geocaching overseas as I've travelled here all the way from Finland. So fascinating to learn about new places while finding caches. TFTC!!

kdawg92 and I were soon to board on to a cruise nearby, but we thought we'd give this a shot within the time frame we had. We gave it as thorough a search we could, considering there was a muggle smoking very nearby and would occasionally glance over at us... Alas! We left it alone, until we at least returned.

After the cruise, we came back and gave it another go; trying a couple of new places that we didn't check last time as well... Unfortunately, no cache was being spotted by us today! Most likely just a case of tired eyes, and shall keep a watch on this cache to likely discover that it is still there waiting to be signed with our names!

Spent a lot of time looking around where we thought the cache would be hidden to no avil. Will try again next time we are this way.

Had a weekend away at the besties place again and we thought we would head in the other direction to what we did last time as we crossed off most of the Lolly Bag Loop.

This was our fifteenth of 23 finds for today so we were pretty happy.

Found a park as close to GZ as we could and walked to it. Spotted likely hide and made our approach. Damn!! Muggles using the BBQ. Thought it best after the run we were having of no DNF's today that the best way to approach was to just go straight to it and start a conversation. You know the one. We aren't crazy people, we are geocachers, and then go into a little bit of what it's all about. Lucky they were Scottish and had heard of it back home so let us sign the log mid conversation. Great waterproof paper too.

Cache is ok.

Log signed and replaced as found. Their lunch smelled great but we were on a mission to do as many caches today as we could so headed off.

TFTC

A quick find. Managed to be stealth with all the muggles around. Such a beautiful area. Thanks for the cache The Rats!

found a magnet but no container attached

Had a second search and found the container separate from the magnet. First log on new sheet.. Small magnet inside but placed larger one in as well and returned to position. Enjoyed the lunch at the Tavern.
TFTC

Not our day, not finding many caches today including this one

A new container is now in place.
Happy hunting
Thanks

You will need to check I think someone has taken it

Found the High power box but cache not there. Please attend to ASAP

Will investigate the whereabouts of this cache

Found a magnet but no cache

Tftc

Just me today walked down and found this one if 5 minutes or so TFTC.

Good thinking! Nice spot.

Nice quick find. TFTC

Cache has seen better days but adds to its charm haha Handle with care!

Thanks for the cache. The container has seen better days but the logs are dry.
Cheers

One of 4 caches for the day on my way home from OZ-MEGA
A cold wet trip south
Thanks for the cache The Rats

Nice and early. My first cache for the day as I head towards the CITO event.
TFTC

Out geocaching with geoson King-Fisher 8 for the day. Beautiful area and awesome weather. TFTC

Anzac Day so definitely the wrong day to hunt up this cache
Will return another day

Was about to walk away and thought I'd try one more time... tftc...

TFTC. The cache is getting rusty. Perhaps replace with a plastic one?

Called others and directed with my app!

Find #1470

Decided a change would be good so headed south of the border to rustle a few southern smilies!
Byron Bay & surrounds were our target for today.

This was a quick park & grab.
We walked straight up to it!
Great co-ords & hint made it easy.
Log signed & cache replaced as found.

TFTC The Rats

Finally got a morning on our Queensland holiday to do a bit of caching and to pick up a combination of a few different types of caches for a challenge I am slowly working on back in Melbourne. I grabbed one puzzle in Queensland before heading down this way for a few in NSW. It was very humid and 35 degrees today which is weather I am so not used to being from Melbourne!
A nice quick find thanks to the hint then headed on my way.
Thanks The Rats for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Thank goodness this was high and dry. River in flood and picnic tables surrounded by water.
TNLN TFTC.
Now for lunch!

Must have been shearing season at the pub. Price is astronomical and meal was underwhelming. We were fleeced.

Had to have a chat with the tourists nearby first amd then look. Very high, not for the kuds.

Nice easy find on the way back to Bris from MurBah. TFTC.

Had trouble finding this one when I looked earlier this year. Because it was exactly where I had expected it to be and had searched carefully, I figure it must have been muggled. Because it was easy this time. And near my favourite pub so that I could celebrate post cache. Tftc

Lovely spot by the river. then time for a coffee.

Nice place for a picnic found with Helibear60 TFTC

Out for a day of caching with Nyssaflutterby, Angela from Team DNA and barbbowman.

I always love travelling along this stretch of river.

Quick find for Angela. Log signed, cache replaced.

TFTH

what a pretty little spot
GO angela

It was definitely time to head for home but as the saying goes.... just one more (or three!). Team DNA, barbbowman, FastEd 59 and myself made quick work of discovering this beasty. After signing the log we replaced the cache as it had been found.

Thanks for the cache The Rats

On a NSW adventure with Nyssafluttery, barbbowman and FastEd59.

We had completed the two caches we had come down to grab and was left with some extra time! We decided to follow the cache trail and see how we went!

After having an unlucky day, missing out on all the finds, I KNEW where this one was going to be....

It's just the thought of sticking my hand "in there" that stopped me having the cache already in my hands!!

Barb took a step back and confirmed the hide so I bit my lip and reached in, and came up with a cache!! And NO crawlys!! YAY!! My first find of the day!!!!

TFTC

Too many muggles another time

tftc... another lovely spot

Cheeky

Quick grab while the niggle picnickers looked the other way. TFTC. The Rats.

Nice easy find

Both of us Being vertically challenged this was difficult but we worked it out. Tftc

Being vertically challenged was a problem but GeoDad's walker came to the rescue!!! TFTC Great spot! Love coming "home"!

Found our first yay

Found our first yay

Found it! My first find. Follow the clues! Thank you

Found with the GeoCousins while on a visit from Sydney. Tumbulgum is such a beautiful spot! Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC.

I so remember the ferry services across the Weed river, as locals we could travel for free, not sure it was really allowed but we would walk on, and go back and forth many times, laughing at the number of cars lined up. Rusty85 had this in hand in no time but then I was lost in memories. TFTC

Lovely place to have a BBQ lunch while sitting and watching the water Found with Diamonjs. TFTC

Sighted twice today, both times lots of muggles were present. Harrumph. Maybe another time...

Good cache

Thanks for the great cache The Rats(8D)

really high one .. dad had to get this one tftc

I can't seem to get away from Rats caches (no matter how wide I roam). This one was our last on our day trip from where we are house sitting in Fingal. We had a huge lunch at the tavern then had a stroll (recce) past GZ where a large group of mums & bubs had gathered. We sat in the sun taking in the vistas of the river, Mt Warning & the cane fields burning nearby and waited & waited & waited. Well neither geohubby or I are well known for our patience but we deserved a medal for this marathon effort. Over an hour later the group finally disbanded about the same time as a group of fishermen moved in. It was a quick walk by stretch / grab and continue walking, sign log then another walk by & stretch. TFTC Rats. I wonder where the next Rats cache will appear in Oz ?

Great Mt Warning vista. TFTC

TFTC

Nice hide. Hint helped. Unfortunately Mt warning was obscured by cloud today. Still a great day for caging by the river. TFTC.

Not for the vertically challenged .. TFTC

Great spot. The cache was cached and I wandered over to the wood shop. The Robusta furniture for just under 2K was a steal. Pity I could not squeeze it in the i30 and then the airbus at Cool.


Thanks to The Rats and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Beautiful Tumblegum where we stopped for coffee and found well hidden cache tftc

Woohoo on my way to Mba and a quick coffee lead to a nearby cache. Thx.
