Up from Sydney for casual geocaching in the Mid North Coast. Looks like were just 1 from 3 of pprass caches today. We enjoyed walking out to the end of the North Wall and over to here. As so often happens, we got to GZ the hard way and took the easy way out. We found the right Mark whose plaques is almost unreadable but failed to find the treasure below. Never mind. A good day nevertheless. Cheers Gaztek
Found mr grubb couldn't find cache unfit mum is puffed lol mr 11 still searching
Found 2:20PM with fiance except she stayed on other break wall. Needed a faster find and this was a fast find. Left a Travel Bug. Hopefully it continues on its journey Ive had it for a little while. Signed the log and then replaced the geocache back in its hiding place. I hope Muggles dont find this one. Thanks for the cache
RileySmurf and I took a little walk to find this cache and was rewarded with the container and logbook to sign.TNLNSLTFTC
Boxing Day and my sister who we were to be having lunch with is instead working.The sky looks a bit like rain, but Ms Atalanta and I decide to chance it an head to the north shore on the ferry. As it happened, the threatened rain never eventuated.Anyway, this was the first of four we found in the area today. I was looking without success but Ms Atalanta said I can see it - over there. And sure enough, it WAS there.TFTC
Found it, on our way from Port to Crescent Head via Plommer Rd, second of three hopefully today.
Another one located on the Northshore. Beautiful little beach and not over run. Great spot. Another great day for caching. TFTC pprass
For anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australia’s only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria
And for anyone that can travel to Longreach, Queensland, late September 2023, Google “QOGM” which is the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster. You’ll have at least 8 or 9 days of pure geocaching fun with around 200 like minded people attending a mix of events and access to over 200 geocaches placed by the QOGM team. It’s not a Mega, it’s better.

Great hide, niece and nephew had a blast climbing on the rocks and running cross the beach
Found on 25th June, despite some muggles around. Last find before leaving Port
Tftf. Managed to find despite some muggles around. Last find before leaving Port with Moo
Quite a difficult last 10 metres when barefoot but eventually got there. Fantastic spot and nice little beach. TFTC

Our second trip over the river today, after being driven back by rain this morning, we returned for the breakwall trio.
Yep, found under Grubb - but not a 400mL sistema, and the ferry prices have been inflated a little since this was published!
Samuel found a rather large bream, flapping about above the high tide line - the water was nowhere near him at the time, so it is unclear how he got there, and how he was alive, he was thrown back into the water, so now he's either swimming off counting his lucky stars, or some crabs are! TFTC!

Found today after going back to our resort and eating lunch and coming out to find some more caches around here!
After coming out here to attempt this earlier today in the rain, we decided not to do this one, but we came back later once it had cleared up, so we ran out along the beach and found it quickly with the hint, while walking down the beach back to the car, we found a live fish, flopping around in the sand, above the high tide line. We grabbed it and put it in the water, but it didn't seem to swim away, it just floated there... I wonder why.

Thanks for bringing me here and the clue saved a lot of frustration. Great spot.
Retrospective find ?

Third find today in the area north of Port with my sister. We slowly crept up on this one so as not to frighten an Osprey. He didn't seem to care about us though. So r found this cache abs decided it was time for icecream and home.
Thanks for the caches here.

The others waited in the car while I made a dash across the beach towards this cache. With all the painted rocks I wasn't sure what to expect and where to find the suggested clue. But after circling around a bit and trying to read the graffiti, I suddenly spotted something a bit more subtle.
Nice hide. All was well with the cache. My name went onto the log sheet and then everything went back as found. We were finally ready to head up north towards that crocodile breeding ground I had heard much about.

Great spot, off the beaten track with a beautiful different view of Port Macquarie from its vantage point. TFTC.
After a good trek, it was found!
Love the log for this one too!
Found with @Zerina_rose & @Tahli3837 ️

Found with SJG66 on a 4 day stay in PMQ, thanks to all the CO's who have placed and maintained caches in this area, it made our stay very enjoyable.
This one was VERY close to our accommodation in a straight line but further by car of course. TFTC
Had no idea what the hint meant but as soon as we saw Grubb it was an easy find. Thanks Pprass!
Staying in the area with Di Morgan for the Aussie Day event. out and about with Grubb Fred collecting a few of the cahes around the area. STILL MANY TO GO.

Wow! This is an oldie!!! A nice walk across the small beach and we arrived at GZ. I thought the hint must have referred to Grub Fred. I soon discovered it did not. The log was quite damp and needs some TLC. Luckily, my pen still was able to make my mark. Thanks for some more fun pprass.

Found at 4:56:00 PM
I was wondering what the heck "grubb" was. I was sure it was some cartoon from my youth but all I could picture was Captain Cavemaaaaaan! But the GPS took me to him anyway. The container for this one has a cracked lid and is very UV affected. The log is fine for now however.
Thanks pprass

Found on our day out cache hunting. A nice stroll along the beach with a little rock climbing. Glad we read about the plaque which made locating the cache easier. TNLNSL. TFTC
Been looking at these ones from accommodation across the water for 4 years and finally came over to see what we could find. Thanks for the cache. The Ewoks
After travelling down the bumpy gravel road towards the north wall, we walked across the small beach and up onto the rocks. We found the cache under the very first thing we touched.
Thanks for the cache pprass

Caught Ferry to across the river and arrived the north wall opposite to our apartment. Initially felt lost for so many rocks. And depending on GPS and our geosense to search potential hiding spot. Quickly spotted the cache and realised the tip which was referred to the plaque on the rock. TFTC
Beautiful day, beautiful view, though we had to leave muggle aunty behind for this one
Tftc. Our ninth (and last) find of the day. A great day of caching today. Took 10c and a kangaroo charm and left some shells. Signed log and did some research for a couple of other caches on our way home.
A nice little walk across the beach led me to a quick find with the help of the hint. I don't think I would have found it otherwise even the cords were spot on, the covering certainly blended in well to its surrounds TFTC
Gps a bit off but hint got us spot on saved us a long search through rocks last one for the north wall group
Found by Pat & Cheryl at 2:13 pm. Thanks for bringing us to this great location and helping us to increase our tally. Really enjoyed this cache pprass and this is #950 so far for us. Cheryl grabbed this one and the container is in great condition with all contents dry. (Like my throat )
