retiring this cache, apologies..........

Dropped by yesterday and the cache is gone. If anyone has moved the TB can you please let the owner know. It would be a shame if that's gone missing as well.

Disabled until I can check out whether it's gone missing, apologies...

I can't find it either. The only one in Ballina to defeat us. Boo Hoo!! Thanks for bringing us here anyway.
Update : Changed to note as you can't not find something that's not there. Hope the TB shows up somewhere.
Cheers Temingi

Wandered around lookin for this one just before another rain shower for the day. Did not find it however did find an indication the rocks had been moved and something removed from site. Might need checking.

Dropped by to drop in and out a TB before heading south.

Found ok, log book was wet but I was able to write in it with the pencil. This was my first Geocache found so I took note of what was in it just to see what type of objects were being left- so I didn't take nor place anything.

Dropped by to grab geocoin to take on a trip. Cache is wet and log is wet too. Unfortunatey no time to dry it out.

Found by geokid sally, good spot for a fish, lots of muggles and BMX bandits here, left geo coin. TFTC

Easy find. Took geo family for our 1st group find. Took the Aussie Hat keyring and left a fish friendly fishing lure. TFTC

Just Go! TB visited here with IndiemmaJones

Great cache, lovely spot! TFTC

A second visit: we introduced some good friends to geocaching. They were amazed at the concept (as we were mere days ago) and were intrigued to find a coin (CRGM6G) in the cache. We took the coin and hope to soon continue its odyssey.

Muggle rich area- Christmas holidays. easy find introduced new cachers to the game. Treasures close to their home. TNLN TFTC

Our virgin cache. We've been corrupted and initiated by the Oz Scotts. Damn! Now we have to buy all the trick gear.

Been on hols. Good spot to hide a cache great view of the river, rained the day we went caching. Took a keyring and left a key ring.

Turned up at night only to find muggles fishing just 10-15m away from GZ! Managed to extract, sign and return the cache quite easily. Cheers Gav [3323]

Found with the kiwi team on our great Australian caching tour.
Night visit but still needed a bit of stealth due to people fishing nearby.
TFTC

found this one with tofska red Iguana Moneydork and ADV

Team GPS.org.nz Cache Raid: Even at night there were muggles fishing at GZ. But there were enough of us to distract. T4TC, M@

Managed to find this in the dark, despite nearby fishing muggles

Our first christmas in the sun. And enough time for geocaching

Found during a spot of night caching at 9.45pm. Not a soul about and very dark with only a slice of moon to guide my search. Took nothing, SL and left a Diabetes TB. T4TC.

Cache is safely away from skate bowl so ever present muggles not a problem. Thanks!

Found while on a weeks holiday at Brunswick Heads.
Down in Ballina today picking up a few caches after out attempt earlier in the week was rained or should I say stormed out.
Not too many muggle about today so had cache in hand pretty quickly. Container had quite a bit of water in it, probably about 3-5mm, log book was OK but everything else was socked. Dried it out as much as we could, no real damage.
Made our swaps and placed it back at 10:43am.
In - Shell
Out - Nothing but the water!!

Found this one whilst heading back down down to Sydney from a week's camping holiday. Very busy today as there was a skateboard competition going on nearby but the cache was away from all the muggles. Nice spot.
Thanks,
The Hancock Clan

found this one by myself, but took dad back to show him and next to the cache was a baby snake (at least I'm pretty sure it was).

Take care when finding this GC

Nice find on our holiday in ballina

Jeremy Fox

Quick and easy find on a day out with KidzJCT.

Lovely spot. Had to sit and wait for a while before having a look as there were some boys playing in the area.

I found the cache together with McWanglFAM during our gorgeous holiday in Australia.

Great spot....Took armband and left highlighter.

A quick find on the way South. was amazed to see the surf breaking all the way in here!

Cheers

A quick find with hoojar and Ding.
The swell was amazing. After 4 days of solid rain the surf was breaking beyond the bridge. There were a few brave surfers out there. Great to watch.

Cheers.

Did the cache while sending the weekend at Byron Bay. A lot of muggles enjoying the facilities in the area. TFTC / TNLN. Greeting from South Africa.

Another great outlook. Had to avoid a few fishing Muggles. TFTH

0529 re-logging due to name change

529 Nice hidey hole away from prying eyes of the muggles at the skateboard ramp. TFTC azucar

She who Must be obeyed stayed in the car too dark, windy and cold.
Thanks

0900 Found with Mrs C, while staying over at Ballina on way to Gold Coast / Cairns. Brought through Dr Quack and Civil War Bullet TB's

Found it at 1415.
A lovely day for an easy find. Muggles sitting right next to where the cache was. So I took some interesting arty pics of pandanas trees and hollows in logs. Eventually they left and I went straight to the cache.
TN left wrist band.

Great spot, although 6 fishermn within 15metres of the cache. Luckily they were so engrossed, walked straight up to the spot and grabbed the cache. Filled out log back at the car and returned to its spot.

Thanks for the cache

Found this one while in town for the day. TFTC

Took a short break in our trip north and found this one. Took bottle top opener and left mini superball. Thanks for the cache.

Found at 1730. Easy find even though there were 3 fishing muggles nearby. They didn't even give us a backward glance.

Another quick find, although the challenge was to keep out of sight of the nearby fishing muggle.

Found at 0710 hrs.

Interesting to me is some of the foundations of the close by old bridge. Sandbags full of wet cement dropped into place, and the bags allowed to rot away. I wonder how old they are.

Find number 19 of my trip from Gladstone to Newcastle and return.

Cheers

Mr. Spud & I mounted our deadly treadlys in the heart of Ballina and picked up a couple of beautiful caches around this 15km loop thanks for the hide. TNLNSL

tftc!

Back in action

Out of action for a few days while I dry everything out, apologies, it will be back in action shortly.

Located on early morning outing with geo-pop and geo-hound. Easy find, although cache needs maintenance as notebook is wet and pretty much unusable.
TFTC TNLN Cheers

Easy find on our way up the coast.
Contents are waterlogged and may need maintenance.
thanks azurcar for bringing us here.
tnlnsl

Quick and easy find, but cache is totally soaked and needs maintenace. Log to wet to write in. Nice views.
Thanks

With grandsons (5 & 7) had a lot of fun finding this is miserable wet weather - the boys had the GPS

This was our first one for New years day, easy find, in between showers and we did get rather wet, bad luck for the kids as the playground just nearby looked really fun. Logged our entry, took nothing and left nothing. Thanks again.
Will_deness and CO.

forgot to log this one from last years. found this on a training camp

thanks

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

Watched some tricks being performed close to GZ then swooped on da area..........quick find. TFTC TNLN

Well hidden. Was a very windy afternoon.
Took nothing
Left pink micro yoyo.
TFTC

Another 'lunch break' run! Thanks for the cache, haven't been here since the old bridge was removed. TNLN.
Cheers!

On our way to Brisbane, stopped opff for a quick find Thanks for the hunt.

Plenty of muggles around for this one. We arrived just as the markets were packing up, headed for GZ and found more muggles fishing about 10m from where we wanted to look. The nature of the hide meant we could find the cache undetected. We sat on the bank to sign the log and watched the fish swimming just off the rocks before repacing the cache and continuing on our way. No swaps, thanks for showing us another lovely spot in this area!

Great spot for a cache, but we were worried as we approached about the large number of muggles at the skate park nearby. Fortunately GZ put us out of their sight.
took dinosaur
left 2 x 10c euro
thanks azucar

Nice little hide - got it through the break in the rain! The waves were awesome through the headland area
TNLN, TFTH

Loved the sound of the waves on the rocks. Found the cache easily. Thanks for the view.

A good spot for a cache and hidden in a way that reduces muggles sightings! Nicely done. TNLN thanks again azucar.

Nice easy find at lovely spot. Plenty of people about flying kites, skateboarding etc.T/N/L/N.

There were lots of Dolphins playing in the surf close to the hidding place. Kept the muggles busy while we seached for the cache. Dropped off Farley the Travel Sheep.

Nice spot, Cache found by 3yr old Kavnoo - Sarah. Took Clip on Earings left $1 coin.

Great spot took whistle and left bottle opener/keyring.

first cache for the day , great spot ready to drop the line in the water

The kids loved this cache as there was something for them to do while I did my business. Plenty of workers around today, on the bridge, up the road etc.
TNLN Thanks

First on our walking tour of Ballina. A hot day but such a great place it didn't matter.
TNLN TFTC

Fisherman muggle was a little suspicious of Mrs and Mr WhereIs wandering around in the bushes but we managed to keep out of sight.

This is our 100th cache! TFTC

Make sure to take some bread with you, lots of potential friends will greet you warmly if you do, TNLN, SL, TFTC

Lovely spot, the schoolkids were having afternoon sport at the skate bowl, easy find, woo hoo, TNLN SL TFTC

We hunted for a while in all the obvious spots without success. Eventually we called a friend who, although they hadn't found it, was able to get online and look up the hint for us. After that it was an easy find - although I'm sure I'd checked that spot already!

Just as we finished signing the logbook the raindrops started and so we raced back to the car to avoid getting wet.

Yes the cache is up and running the c/o were spot on great spot.l/n/t/n/s/l.thanks once again Azucar.Regards Angel Dust

Kids had trouble lifting rock. Thanks to "Team Hylton" for resetting cache. TNLN>

Scared off a wild cat sitting at the cache site. Muggle fisherman nearby. TNLN. Thanks for the cache azucar.

I'll diable this one until I get a chance to check it out later in the week, seems as though it's missing. Apologies...

I am afraid I found an empty hollow undar a rock at the co-ords. That does not mean I did not find the right rock.

called in on the areas busiest day of the year, a scateboard tournament. co-ords spot on and an easy find in a nice area.
