Hello,

It is Rana Pirica, the geocache maintenance frog, once again hopping through your area to check on geocache maintenance.

Please remove any remaining cache components if you have not already done so. If there are questions about the archival or if you would like it to be re-considered for listing please e-mail me or your local reviewer in response to this archival, and we will help to unarchive your cache if possible. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing your further participation in the future.

Please send the name of the cache and the GC Code (GCxxxxx) in all correspondence

will get up there soon and replace it.

Spent a while looking and like the 2 previous people couldn't find it

We agree with eaumon oz. We spent a bit of time here, three pairs of eyes looking, and 3 gps. Looked under many rocks and by trees and grass etc too. No luck for us today. Did see a couple of likely locations where a cache may have been, but nothing today.

From the previous logs this should have been easy but we spent a while here & turned over every rock we could find with no luck!

Found this on holidays and forgot to log it. Thanks for the cache.

An easy find with nice views over the region. TFTC y4dodis

Quick, easy find. Thanks.

After cellebrating the wife's birthday at Shelley's Cafe, we did the nice walk up to find this one. Great view.
Regards and thanks for the cache.

Team Jupiter from Denmark..

3rd for today great view from up here. TFTC

Perfect weather... Found easily... TFTC Took Spider, left Mr. Croco!!!

Found at 10:25.

A muggle had parked his camper van right in front of GZ, and was sitting on a deckchair outside. However, he was so preoccupied with texting on his mobile that he didn't even notice me approach. I was then able to find, sign and replace the cache without him even looking up. As I left, he was still texting away. He must have been over the great view...

Found 13:05 Nice quick find. TNLN thanks.

Only the hardy folk out and about on such a windswept late afternoon. Easy find. Many Thanks.

Lovely view... thanks for bring us here..
Cheers

Thanks Crystal Warrior for putting the cache back together. Well hidden and a nice find for us. Did not understand the previous log about the water tower until we visited Great View though! TFTC.

Found on a very windy day took bear and ring left Dino and horse. Tftc.

We stayed overnight nearby and had time to look for a couple of caches before heading home.
This was more a case of the cache finding us than us finding the cache as it was totally exposed and was visible as we approached GZ.
We left TB "Zed" and replaced the cache with a bit more cover.
TFTC

We found our way up and took the short walk to the cache for an easy find. Nice out of the way spot but dominated by a BIG water tower! TFTC

The cache had been muggled. We put it back together. Alls well again. TFTC

This was our last stop for the day, the little fishers were getting annoyed. TFTC.

Everybody had an opinion as to where this cache would be when we were close. - but the GPS said other wise. A fun easy cache! thankyou

Gps had us in a Surfers car park, kids playground and up the hill, should have realised why it was called ballina higlight, found easily once I worked out which level to look for it,

And y4dodis, it's all about the numbers mate! TFTC

Dropped in to grab the TB and take it south. Maybe visit a Zoo and then leave it at or near an airport. hopefully someone can take it to the UK.

Good view from the near lookout, left travel bug, TFTC

A quick and easy find after taking the kids for a swim at the nearby beach.

Great spot.

Had trouble locating this one, first couldn't find anny rocks and then couldn't believe id missed it.. Not very well covered, rocks had moved... recovered it with plent of rocks to stop it falling into muggle hands.

Took rubber frog, replaced with Bugs Bunny figure I purchased that the Lismore Carboot Market this morning.

Another quick find on the road South.

My 3rd find in the area today. Log book very wet, very slimey. TFTC

Renroc found it at 1620 today. Didn't bring my SES roof kit so was unable to repair the roof of the cache. Log VERY wet and slimey...but I was able to pull the pages apart gently and sign it.
Took camera and that was a good excuse to be moving around in the area looking strange. But there were no muggles around. Great view.

TNLNSL

Please fix this cache soon.

Cache lid is broken and contents very wet. Didn't sign log but left a gibbo003 sticker instead. This cache is in need of some help. Thanks for the hunt.

Thanks to y4dodis for the cache

Down for a weeks holiday in Ballina, was glad we took a few caches with us, as the weather wasnt very favourable. Also gave us a chance to see a little more of Ballina itself. Found this one very easily and was a lovely view. logged our entry but took nothing and left nothing. Thanks again.

This was another of my introductory finds. Showery weather and it took a little time to find after we reached the location, thanks y4dodis.

Belated log - found last year as part of a paid work trip showing others how to use GPS, OZI and find things (caches). Pretty cool hey. Thanks, Bluedog

Have ridden around the area on bike rides before, but not to this spot. Out in the family wagon this time for a weekend of caching. Found the cache easily. It had been found by a muggle on the 16th, he left a note explaining what he was doing there [:-)] see photo TNLN TFTC

Nice easy find in the rain on our family holiday. TFTC

Daughter found this one. good timing as the whales were passing by at the time. took toy car left little plastic monkey

Almost a drive by! Nice quick find while we were caching in this area today. Interesting area around the lighthouse. We found the cache quickly, co-ordinates took us straight there. No swaps, thanks for the cache!

Another great spot. I think this must be the smallest lighthouse I have seen.
