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 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

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

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.

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! Smile
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! Smile TFTC!
 
18-Jan-22
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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
