Very well hidden! Great cache, in great condition. No reception didnt help but the hint did. TFTC!

Great hide

Quick find after a stroll through the scrub. TFTC

Saw something out of place and soon had CIH

In the area decided to eventually attempt to locate after my previous DNF a while back. On a early morning drive before it gets warmer. As I pulled into the road that led to Wooglemai I was welcomed by little bunny rabbits as they crisscrossed the road - nice countryside.After parking near the locked gate , I climbed the hill towards GZ. As the coordinates were near on spot on. I quickly spotted the promising hide to find nicely hidden cache containing a nice new log with signing of previous finder. Deserves a Golden paperclip for bringing out here . TFTC jkcourtz

Took a little while to find but founded in the end

Coordinates changed from:S 34 7.740 E 150 30.214Coordinates changed to:S 34 7.734 E 150 30.225Distance from original: 66.3 feet or 20.2 meters.Original wall location no longer suitable. Moved to new location.

Spent considerable time looking for this one . Looked within 8 metres of GZ , no luck !

Found with Macka4867. Another interesting sounding place that we never knew would have existed if it wasn't for geocaching. A pretty quick find by geowife as i thought it was on higher ground and went past it. It was rather wet, hopefully we placed it in a way to help it stay dry. TFTC.

Out with Gundrills for another day caching (streak day #35) - nice little find, but just like the previous finder, log was wet. TFTC

A quick find, unfortunately the log was wet and the ziplock bag needs replacing. TFTC.

Found

Found with O319

Quick find with SJG66, log and cache wet. TFTC

Found It!
This one took me a bit longer to find than it should've but eventually I looked in the right place. The contents are a bit wet.
TFTC

Gotcha thank you. Would like to explore where both these paths go

Another quick find by Geohubby! He is on fire today. TFTC

Found with iwalkamongyou, TFTC

The search took a bit longer than was necessary, as we overlooked the one now obvious spot. A few tiny swaps. Nice camo. TFTC:)

Found it, swapped an item. Thankyou

I had reason to be at Wooglemai bright and early this morning so was super keen to grab this whilst I was in the vicinity. After driving back down the rocky dirt road, I parked at the locked gates and walked back to GZ. Once the GPS settled, this was a nice quick find. But just as I was ready to sign the log, I heard a car approaching from Wooglemai. Very quickly, I hid the cache and pretended to take a photo of the beautiful natural vista surrounding me until the coast was clear. A lovely spot that I hope to explore further someday. Thanks for bringing me here!

OCW delloro. Once we checked more spots we uncovered the hide. TFTC

A quick find on a pleasant day's caching with Brewmaker. Would be keen to come back and explore the nearby trail.

TFTC

Took a while to spot. Good camo

Tftc

Found it

Really behind on my logs and only just catching up, sorry for any generic type logs!

Out for an afternoon geo-adventure with LIttl3Vix, seeing where we could get a few caches. It'd been awhile since we had been to the Burragorang lookout and there were a few on the way so it was the perfect trip. This was find number 8, a detour off our destination but really, whats a detour on a caching adventure? We split up at GZ, but I must have been off with the fairies as Littl3Vix checked over where I had looked and found the sneakily hidden cache. I had to giggle while we signed, then after rep[lacing we headed on our way. Thank you for the hide!

Find #481 on streak day #156.
Getting into the geomobile today with MizCupcake to see where the afternoon will lead. An overcast day and rain called for an easy trip and some scenic views. So we started to make our way to the Burragorang Lookout. Our 8th find for today and we are nearly there. A slight detour to get to this one but not a problem at all. We parked the geomobile and started making a search. MC searched an area to the left, but moved along and kept looking. Once I reached that zone, and searching through a bit more systematically, the camo was revealed, like an octopus that can blend into the surroundings . CIH we both completed signing the log and replaced. Everything was in good condition here, despite the wet weather we’ve had. TFTC!

Enable, thanks.

Checked and replaced all good to go, thanks.

With back burning in this area, and fires I will disable until the fire risk in this area has subsided and I can also conduct a cache check, thanks.

No luck unfortunately

I needed to get out of the house last week so I wouldn't go nuts and needed some peace and quiet... Out to the west!

No find for me, but I could go back one day.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Great hide. 2nd time here but got it this time!

Found with nissan 65 on a day trip caching. Beautiful day off work. Thankyou for the cache

Found with cullum 68 on a few days off work thanks for the cache

I made this 1 harder than it should have – got there in the end – thanks TFTC / TFTH / SL

The GPS had me going around in circles for awhile, eventually settled at a certain spot and I soon had CIH.

Nice quick find but the cache is fairly wet. Might need a little maintainence. Nice bushy area. Tftc

#4188 (3 of 8 today)

My caching these last few days really hasn't been a lot of fun. My DNFs have outnumbered my finds, I've sliced myself on broken glass... Not fun.

So decided to head south today where hopefully I can make a few finds without too much angst. Left a lot later than I wanted - fun with Geokid #2 came first. So decided on a loop around Oakdale and The Oaks.

In the end I had eight finds in as many attempts, including two previous DNFs. All quick finds - much better day!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
This one took longer than it should. Checked a few logical spots, then went for another. On the way noticed something, so when I came back I checked it.
CIH!
Cute.

Completed signing duties and replaced. Then onto my next target.

Thank you for the cache. Log signed and cache replaced. *OCW Throsbyonchurch*.

Found -- 1:05 PM -- SL TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here to this location ***jkcourtz***. Cache in good condition.
I took advantage of today's glorious afternoon to do get out and about with hubz and bubz for some caching. Have been wanting to seek out the Burragorang caches and then head into Warragamba to collect some caches there, one in particular. I was initially using my phone to find this cache and it did not help but instead led me all over the place. I had no mobile reception here so didn't have all of the cache information. Then by accident discovered the cache coords under the compass on my phone. This was fantastic as I could load them onto my gps which then hed me to the cache.... ahhh gpsr are so much better. **Cache was full of water.** The log was a little damp, and the bag it was in was wet inside. Emptied the water out of the cache and placed the log in another non zip-lock dry bag and then back into the zip-lock bag.

16 = 15 and 1 today

**** No trackables seen in cache ****

Found this cache in a nice location, and signed the log book. Thank you for the hide, liked it. Catching up on some logs for the past couple of weeks.

Service was low so had to find it without much help! Still an easy find. TFTF

We took a while to find this cache. Made the mistake of concentrating on an area where the GPSr took us which also had a geotrail. Eventually we widened our search area and soon had CIH. TFTC

Found it at the dead end,spooky lookin,
TFTC

Not sure how to say the name , but we found the cache. TFTC

Interesting area?? wasn't sure what to expect with the dead end? TFTC

Had a goal to complete 47 caches today to meet an end of year target but with the rain and diminishing daylight, I was ready to call it quits at 30 and return over the weekend, however a couple more PnGs (4) were just too tempting to drive by. Arrow bouncing a bit which made for a longer search than necessary but just about to give up, tried once more in a logical spot I must have missed on my first sweep.

Having a few family and friends who are trachers, I'd heard of Wooglemai but never been there. Well I still haven't, but now I know where the gates are.

I had a good scout around for the cache, but the GPS just wouldn't fix and I didn't want to be here all evening. So I had a look at the hint and explored the obvious meaning without success, before coming up with what I thought was a clever interpretation. I soon realised that, though clever, it was probably wrong. Deciding to leave, I thought "Oh I'll just look in that place that makes no sense.", then I had to find my pen which I'd put in the wrong pocket.

Good hide, but I don't get the hint.

I was here a year ago and though I looked everywhere that time. I looked everywhere again and had one of those "going to give up, when..." moments. And there it was. So simple. TFTC

Hmm? Too hidden for us today!

Spent the better part of the afternoon clearing up The Oaks and Oakdale.
Planned for 10 today but ended up taking out around 20!

Finally getting around to finding this one. Located after a bit of a search.

Haven't really explored this part of the world and what better way to get out and about by geocaching with my fellow BumbleFoot. TFTC!

Found on a lovely Sunday Drive with Stumble Trip. TFTC!

On camp, so of course it was time for a patented 'Nacki22 and HappyUke sneak off for a geocache in their pyjamas'.
Had the best intentions to go for a walk last night, but had definitely run out of poop by the time we had a chance. Instead, we went for a quick drive waaay too early this morning. And thank god we did!! What we thought would be a nice little half a km walk was actually a very long, winding road! We arrived at the cache and started looking in the usual spots. Have to admit, this one rocked our confidence a little as it took us a while to spot. Finally HappyUke checked the right spot and we had CIH. Another fun adventure and a great camp story to take home with us TFTC

I was packing to get ready to go to camp Wooglemai, when I happened to use geocaching.com maps to look at the camp site and what did I see....but a cache called Wooglemai nearby!!! I've been going to this camp for a few years now, but since I only got into geocaching this year never knew one was there. The stars were aligned so Nacki22 and I were on camp together again...thus a geocaching foray must be organised. A night raid was planned but since I had already been on an extra night than Nacki22...I was beyond pooped! We woke too early and attired in our usual camp geocaching outfits (PJ's) drove down to the cache...thank goodness we did...it was soooooo much further than we thought, due to the winding track. At the GZ we got tricked by what we thought was a traditional geocaching camouflage and it took us a little longer to try something...bingo...found it. So far this year Nacki22 and I have found caches at each camp we have been on. Thanks for helping us keep up our unbroken record.

Pulled up & found in the first place we checked, bingo!. Good co ords for us today. Log is dry & in good condition, containers lid has a crack, so contents is a bit wet. Tnsl Tftc jkcourtz xo

Another short side trip. Parked nearby and walked to GZ. Found it the first place I looked - surprised myself! Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Took a little but got it in the end.

#213 Nice quick find for the eleventh cache of the day. TFTC

Took us a while but lucky we had hubby with us. Tftc

Started my own account Found with/as Lucky Cricket

TFTC

Found it, tricky hide TFTC

Bit easier to find after the rain
.went back over clues and finally found.geocacher was here yesterday but no comment as yet. Tftc from a fairly near cacher Now a burnt out car at entrance. Which happened in the last couple of days

Gz a bit off had me in the bushes for a while, found in obvious spot

Replaced container and log. Good to go.

Too well hidden for us.

Clearing up my 50km Radius and 50 Forgotten Years.

Thought I'd do Picton-Oakdale-The Oaks Return Trip today.

Couldn't find this one even though it was found yesterday

Log is mush

As noted this one needs maintenance. Would be interested to do some further exploring beyond the gates here..

Thanks for the cache.

Found with fitzy and ZZ7 during a day run through the area...

Haven't been here before so interesting to see what was here. Cache was found ok, but it is in need of a visit to replace the log book, which is soaked. Couldn't open it without ripping the coloured paper. Sorry, did have anything to replace it for you......

Thanks anyway jkcourtz........glad we visited.

9721 + 1093 = 10814. Found during a run up through this region with ZZ7 and Sol de Lune.

Left Canberra at 0630 and at -5 Degrees ! Drove to Colo Vale where we started our caching. Parked right near GZ and a quick find was made - but the log book is mush - needs some TLC. We were quickly off to the next one.

Thanks again jlcourtz !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found OK but logbook was very very wet.

TFTC

These containers r the worst, all have been wet so far. I did like the log book but it was saturated nd stuck 2getha. Found qwickly. Tfth

Tricky hide. Chuze got it quickly though.Tftc

Found after 15mins. Had us going for a little while.

Obvious hissing spot but not if that makes sense... Right in front of your face. TFTC

Hav been here and done the tree ropes course ..amazing fun place
Container os split and was wet inside ..log was dry in snappy bag

I was hoping to go for a nice drive through the Natti NP. But the great NSW parks have the gates locked. So I did what all good caches do, find the nearest cache. GZ is a little off but the keen eye should find it quickly , it took me a while.

Thought this one would be simple with the help of photos.. But still took us 20 min haha. GPS throws you off a bit. A good find

Good hide! Thanks!

Nice quick find today. The coordinates are a bit off. More luck, the first thing I looked at. TFTC.

Neat to read about the use of this place and that such a place exists. All closed up today but the cache was a quick find by Pagan. Great also to see that the walking track heads off from here. All in good condition.
Thanks jkcourtz

Tftc

Thanks for a great find

Love this place.

My GPS put me about 3 meters away. But kept on going and found it. TFTC

Cache maintenance added new log book & swaps.

Log was very wet. TFTC

Found it with Lombardjohn. Log book is very wet. Needs new container.

Beautiful foggy morning. Nice part of the world.
Found with jarydella.

Good find. Got a bit dirty . but great adventure:D

GPS was so sketchy here making the find take way longer than it should have. Log book is still pretty wet but holding together.

Needs maintenance, tftctnlnsl. Cheers:)

the container has cracked and was full of moisture. The log book had ink soaked through the pages.
