MUD 101 Garden Island, New South Wales, Australia
By 2BOOTS on 22-Jul-05. Waypoint GCPTTT

on a visit to MUD 101 there is no sign of it and so I am not replacing it as I can see it washing away from in the stump and under the rock that was still there so i think it has be discovered and taken...
cheers to all that found it and i hope it was fun sorry to those who didn't but that's the way muggles go.

DNF. I think this ones been washed away. GZ was in line with the posts but there wasn't a post or anything high there. Looked for about 20 minutes. Beautiful spot, thank you for taking us there.

A nice quiet spot [if a little smelly] but we searched high and low and high again but came away empty handed.

nice spot

Lovely quiet spot!

great hide

After fishing Tamykian and I went caching.Great location nice hide. Tamykian got his feet wet however there was no need for that.

Well this one had us guessing for a while, taking the obvious land mark for this one and off with the shoes. After a while it was not to be, as I was slightly damp (wet) which I didn't mind as the temperature was well on the way up.
But after we realised where it was I didn't need to take anything off ....mmmmmm I think Soccerpride needs a little practice with his new GPS, he is like a child in a lolly shop with it... (lol)

Found the cache SL

cheers
Tamykian

Nice cache, instinct had me on my hands and knees looking in the wrong spot, but I was a good 10m off!

once again an interesting place that we would never have been to without geocaching

used the hint for this one
and did not get wet at all! (it was low tide)

What a lovely peaceful location. We would never have come here if not for cache hunting. Unfortunately we did not have a replacement cache log with us so cache still needs attention. We did get wet feet though as it was high tide during our search. Thanks for bringing us here.

Found at 1215hrs [^]

Have never been to Carrington before so thanks for taking me for this detour for the Hwy. A nice spot and easy find.

2523.

A very quick find today after a few caches at Tea Gardens. The log is full and a previous finder has placed a slip of paper for others to sign. Could the owner please fix?

Thanks 2BOOTS for the cache.

As per our log, a new log sheet is required.

found it with my uncle, it took bout 15min to find it. good hiding place.

My Nephews helped me look for this one. Byran came up with the goods after a little searching. Great cache great spot.

TFTC!!

I was expecting the worst on this one. With that name, high tide and a near full moon. Well what a surprise it was. Lovely clear water, no wind and ripples that were non existant all the way across the bay. I would love to visit in the warm day we have been having for a stroll along the waters edge. Thanks so much for showing me this area.

Found it only after very careful consideration of the clever clue.
Are staggered that this is the only cache between Yaccaba tothe east and the pacific hwy to the west,in north port stephens.Will have to look at hiding caches at Hawks Nest,Tea Gdns and Nth Arm Cove.TFTC

I stayed at my geohusband's sister's place for a few nights. So she took us there. It took us a while to find it. Clever hide.
Thanks 2BOOTS for the cache.

Found it at low tide, even managed to put something in there! Cheers AB and GG

found this on trip back home from port.. took a while to find as was still praticing with gps so got taken of the track a bit but once we found the site and read the hint found it pretty easy. tftc

Decided to head a little off the highway and made a detour to this one on our way home from a weekend away at Port and this one proved to be quite funny!!! Had a nice drive in but it was getting dark quickly so we were in a bit off a hurry. Let one of our newest members have another go with the GPS after a rather unsuccessful attepmt at our previous stop. It took a little while but in the end GZ was located successfully. After that we had searched for a while with no luck so we read the additional hint again and then made the find. We must have just missed Graham Cookie as we were there only a hour or two later. Really needed to go the toilet at this one and there was none in sight!!! TFTC.

1830 Had read the previous logs and was surprised by how 'tame' the local roo population is. Photoed some tracks going right down to the salt water - wonder what the attraction is? Just 2 lines, and some room on the other side of the sheet.
Otherwise, if Fang (Cookie Jr) is wanting to drop by here before too long will bring another sheet along.

None of the TBs i had would have fitted into the container!

Found by MADSTARS at around 6pm. Such a tranquil little spot indeed. We were there at dusk and loved the ducks and kangaroos everywhere. YIPPEE we did it on low tide so didn't get wet at all.
Signed log and noticed someone has been just before us.
P.S. not many lines left for people to log - might need to replace log paper soon.

Very nice views. Didnt get my feet wet luckily for me. Good little cache.

even thought this cache is going i have tought of asking for someone to look after it but have decided that i want to put out new one early next year. if other really like to location by all means contact me but I can just encourage you all to put out new ones of your own rather than taking care of 2boots old ones.

this cache is now on a walking the green mile AND WILL BE REMOVE BY CHRISTMAS ( DUE TO A MOVE)
LOOK OUT FOR NEW 2BOOTS CACHES POPING UP IN THE NEAR FUTURE, HAVE SCOUTED AHEAD AND HAVE FOUND SOME CHOICE SPOTS

Finally managed to figure out how to get tho this spot since new Highway has gone in it wasn't obvious. I too found the co-ords a fair way out for a micro when I eventually found it. Reading recent logs and decyphering hints helped in the end. I got these co-ordinates: S32 40.019 E152 00.417 (about 9m away) - +-2.5m accuracy averaged with Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx. May be good idea to update co-ords listing / check.

This was my first find today - 15:12

Thanks for the nice hide and great views at this spot.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found after a few minutes - GZ was about 5 metres from the cache, which is non-negligeable with a micro (see waypoint for our coordinates). No need to get anything wet today.

Thanks!
Nick, Alex, & Sian, from France.

THIS IS A POPULAR CACHE I'M GLAD MANY LIKE IT, SOON TO BE RELEASEDIS MUD 201 YOU WILL SEE WHY 101 IS EASY. STAY TUNED THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING.

Found this cache on our NSW cache sweep in company with Mr Cooroy Scouts.

What a great hide, im glad we didn't have to wade the waters to find this one. Mr Cooroy found this one quickly.

On our road trip to the blue mountains,trusty landcruiser and king and queen of sand
nice easy find

I ran over the koala and then it ran off and up the tree, no blood, no fur and it seemed ok.

It was high tide for Charl, Yewenyi, and I.. but a lot of water has never stopped us before.

Tahlee is a beautiful spot, but for some reason, all the animals seem to be in on a suicide pact.

The first attempted suicide, a kamikaze koala, bolted in front of the car as we drove down the dirt road. I screamed, Yewenyi slammed on the brakes, and the koala disappeared under the front of the car. There was no thump, and I saw the koala run up a tree, completely unhurt. We'd just missed it.

It's a measure of how shocked Yewenyi was, that he (the guy who spends ten minutes lying down to photograph a small mushroom) didn't even join c.j.b. and I in photographing the koala, but instead sat quivering in the front seat saying, "I thought I'd hit it, I thought I'd hit it!" My photos of the koala show it with evil, glowing eyes. It looked more like a suicidal dropbear than a koala!

Yewenyi was less upset when he managed to miss a suicidal rabbit and he was already slowing down near GZ when the wallaby appeared, so he missed that as well.

After stopping for an emo wallaby photo shoot, we hunted for the cache and soon worked out where it must be. c.j.b. sacrificed his dry feet to nab it. Took nothing, left nothing, thank you for the cache.

On the way out, Yewenyi had to avoid a suicidal sea bird on the road, but he was used to the creatures of Tahlee by then.

Rain was a bit of a problem but at least the tide was low. We were wet anyway! TNLNSL. This is fun!!

A Nice walk a cross the mud flat at low tide with Antpadgem, a little bit of a search & we finally had cache in hand.
signed log
Thanks for the cache

Did this one on the run
Bit of mud scared no one
Had to moor out, that was no fun
Tide will come in, if we’re not done
Quick look around, jackpot we won
Nice one centurion, thank you my son
Yeah, gotta say, I like mud 101

Last find for today. We camped on the nearby college grounds (with permission). Gorgeous spot. Thanks
SL

How quite is this town now. I remember being stuck here for hours as a kid. Beware of big scary black dogs!!

I would never know this place existed. It was very pretty and there were some swans floating out on the water. If you find God's country you may have gone too far. Depends how you look at it really.

Ditto to Bainsworld.

#88 @ 4:25pm Nice little spot to visit with Dawesy on our annual camping holiday. Young Lachie found this one whilst the adults were scratching their heads. TFTC!

Another Good spot, lucky my feet didnot get wet. lovely little church and took pix on the way back. Thanks 2BOOTS again!

Lovely driving through and found it a bit hard !!! Lovely view around. [^]

This was to be my 3rd cache atttempt of the day but...

Couldn't find out how to get there!

The maps (Mapsource 2005) had the access road shown but there was no access from the Pacific Highyway as shown, even tried to go to next exit (Karuah) and try to pick up the old road and go back but no luck. Now I don't know if this was due to the roadworks or not, but how do you get to this cache?

Had to give it a miss unfortunately.

With a name like MUD 101, this cache sounded like an entertaining diversion
Well I doubt I could have picked a better day to grab this cache
The sun was not out, the tide was not low, the wind was not gentle and the drizzle was not not falling [:o]
On arriving at GZ it was fairly obvious (throught the driving rain) where the cache was going to be. Forget about getting the ankles wet though. This was going to be a full on soaked to the waist from the salt water and soaked from the waist up from the rain adventure [:o]
But with a cache on offer only a few metres away I wasn't going to let a little dampness and freezing cold stop me
Thanks for a fun cache hunt. Glad I bought a change of clothes and a towel for this one.

Another secret little hideaway that is new to me.
Tahlee Bible College really is close to heaven.
Thanks 2boots.

Found this one on our way back home.What a great little spot.....TNLN thanks heaps.

Thankfully the tide was out so the feet stayed dry. Great little church on the way to the site in this little off the way settlement. My wife found some interesting shells near the site.

2nd of the day, lovely spot have not been here in years. TNLN. TFTH.

Didn't need to get our feet wet today. Lovely serene area. Found the cache easily. With the caravan in tow we went a bit further down the road in search of somewhere to pull over for a bit of lunch. Went into the lawn area near a bible study complex and found out later they actually have powered camp sites there for a nominal fee. Very pleasant area close to the water. Thanks 2Boots.

My second for the day. Good fun.
Thanks 2boots

Second of 2boots caches up this way on a sunny Sunday morning. Great spot up here. Thanks 2boots

I would have to go right on high tide, after signing the log while I was sitting down putting my shoes and socks back on a car drove up and the driver asked me how to get to the old cemetery nearby, couldn't help. A nice cache in a beautiful spot.

Found at 3.05pm GAFF3. We looked at the obvious spot after driving over it and where the GPS was indicating, but after getting slightly dirty, we moved on and found the cache in the second place we looked. Thanks 2BOOTS for showing us this place.

Had my shoes off for the paddle to the obvious spot when Ros found it without getting wet. Thanks 2boots. Found with Ros, Coral and Brendan from Forster API Sporting Carnival.

Easy find on the way home from work.

FTF!
What a nice area, and such a pleasant little hamlet.
got the eye from a local who watched as I drove through town, had me a little jumpy.
but foud cache quickly,and didn't get wet.
co-ords a little off, but nothing to worry about.


well done 2 boots
