Out on a rainy day with Outdoornut22 I suppose what better do we have to do. driven past this marker a couple of times its funny how you don't really take notice of these things on the side of the road until your looking for them well a very simple park and photo so thanks for making me look.

Out in the rain today with Sophoutloud and had about the unluckiest caching day we have had in a long time with only a 50% success rate it almost wasn't worth getting drenched for we have driven past this marker many times but had not noticed it even though it is so close to the road.

Another training course another visit to Richmond and chance to do a few GCA caches. Bit hot this arvo, so just picking off a couple of easy ones. Cheers Phil, marker is a bit mossy and yellow bit looked good in the arvo sun

On an extremely hot sickly day there was not much else to do besides computer or the box so I went for a drive & completed roadside virtual & trigs – this was 1 of them in the greater area.
I have completed some of these markers as waymarks so it was nice to complete this 1 on AGC platform – many thanks for the history

TFTC. Not too many of these around any more.

Found while out caching with viaggio0001. I see this marker every time I come this way and only recently found that it was a GA virtual. TFTC

#GA2274 - 12:00; When the States of the Nation game began, a plan was hatched for a group of ACT cachers to take a trip north to the Hawkesbury on a scavenger raid. As time passed the group's numbers dwindled, but with a bit of work solving puzzles and a few things rescheduled, our merry band comprising andrewbt, Sol de lune and I set off on a damp Canberra morning to try our hand. A recent visit to Canberra by cachers from this area provided an added incentive, so we could repay the karma points we gained from their visit. A successful day it turned out to be with 56 finds and only three DNFs. It was a relief to find this marker in place after the one around the corner couldn't be located as it seems to have disappeared. TFTC teamMerlin

Pulled the car up right across the road and soon had the required photo. Don't many of these around any more. The marker still looks in good condition, even though the numbers a fading a little....

Thanks for another one TeamMerlin....

12th of 55 with SDL and LuckyL10n. I thought it initially said T5... alas, it was just some embossing artefacts!

TFTV TM!

Found on a trip to Sydney. The writing needs repainting. TFTC teamMerlin.

It is only just readable. Nice little park & photograph. My phone is my GPS so that's my foot in the photo.

stopped by this morning for a happy snap. Marker is weather beaten. A coat of paint would make it stand out.

Driving to refereeing I detoured here for a bit of history.

Found with my mum & sister on a drive to Richmond today. Thanks

I needed a book for school which we couldn't get at Springwood or Winmalee, so Mum suggested we try Richmond. Then we found out her ulterior motive, when she stopped for this virtual. I should have suspected, cause she could have got my book easily in Parramatta tomorrow .

We took photos of the marker. Then continued to Richmond & got my book. And a new pencil case. Wish I'd read the other logs before now, maybe I could have guilted mum into donuts & a milkshake as well.

We drove to Richmond today, in a hunt for school supplies which we could not track down in Winmalee. So we stopped for this one on the way past.

I have noticed this little spike before, but had never stopped to see what it was.

Condition does not appear to have deteriorated much since Alnic & family visited earlier


Thanks Team Merlin

Found with the geofamily...and yes, we had milkshakes and donuts. There is always a price to pay Dad! See pics from alnic.

After we had finished at the 571 event at Bull's Camp, I begged the kids for one more scavenger indulgence. Just a quick drive to Richmond. Milkshakes were promised and maybe even some donuts. They get it. It's a GA competition and they are up for the points.The condition is pretty good. I mean, it's not painted white, but it is readable.
