Great hide the tip for needing a tool was a godsend. Plenty of kisses in the ear from a friendly neighbour
I had a look for this one while going for a wander with the dogs. It was a quick find but took a bit longer to sign the log. TFTC.
Easy find but had a couple of attempts before I realized a tool would be required. Luckily found it not long after that and the case was in hand
Finding the cache was easy, retrieving the cache with a bunch of angry ants around, that was the challegenge. The wire provided definitely made it easier, tftc
Found on a typical Winter day.
All good here, nice safe hide.
Thanks for the cache lgoody,

Found this one this morning and after initial spotting it reasonably quickly it still look a few minutes to get our name on the log book. Nice simple hide and l am sure plenty of people would pass this one most days and never know what is so close. Many thanks for the cache.
Not keen on fighting with the ant guardians but managed to retrieve without getting bitten. Log dry. TFTH
Was a little tricky to find but the kids did the job again. Needed a stick to help retrieve. TFTC
Tricky hiding spot. Took a while to retrieve it. Very pleasant walk on a lovely autumn day. tftc, tnln.
Lucky I had a tool in my car to assist in retrieving this cache. All good on this cool morning. 0 degrees at present and white with frost
Managed to find the TOTT and made the retrieval.
After a longer stay in Tumut than we had originally intended it was time to move on. Time spent with family is never wasted though, so our time there was very well spent and much enjoyed.
We didn't move far however and have arrived in Wagga for a few days where we have caught up with Roosterman and Mrs Roosta again and then also joined by Rebel Acts. The team back together!
The weather has been variable and made approaching some caches challenging due to the accumulated water and mud. And boy has it been cold at times!
Still we have chased a variety of caches and managed to find some high D/T ones on our way.
Always a great time caching with good friends.
Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache lgoody.

Found while visiting from Canberra. Finding the cache was easy- getting in hand was not but I got it eventually. TFTC

Cache has been replaced however in a new hole

Unfortunately we did not have to stroll along the walking track today and we could only find #3, but we will be back for the other one. The cache was quickly spotted. TFTC!

Stunning little walk with the boyfriend, I wouldn’t have known this path was here if it were for these caches!

It was time to do a little shopping and along the way to collecting our daily find we missed one and found one this was a nice quick find at GZ as approaching it from the previous unfound cache made it visible at GZ so retrieving the container was a little harder this one had a great sticking device to the location and extracting the log a mark was left and we were on our way to have a lovely lunch before the shopping and returning to home.
Thanks lgoody for this nice spot to go for a walk and collect our smiley.

Enjoyed a day caching with Mrs Wackyweedo and the two younger wackyweedos. Our aim today was to reach 100 cache finds by tackling The Drovers caches around the Coolamon area plus a couple more.
Today was much cooler, with heavy rain and winds throughout the day,then moments of sunshine, which meant less chance of coming across snakes!!
Thanks Igoody I made the find for this one as the others were looking elsewhere.

Quick park n grab for find number 99 for the day! Found & retrieved by Mrs Stevo. Tftc lgoody!
When I was up at Ungarie a few weeks ago and I started the WWW trail I hatched a plan. I knew the rest of my family was going away for the school holidays and so I decided that I would head to Wagga for an overnight trip and try and find 100 caches in a day for the first time. At that point I had collected 50 (and then last weekend I got 54) in a single day, but triple figures was really only possible with a powertrail - and the one The Drovers had set up was worth the effort. So I took a day off work and headed up to make the attempt before everyone gets back tomorrow. Thankfully the weather was not as hot as yesterday so it was a pleasant day driving the blue road grader on the trails north of Wagga.
Up at 5:30 with the first cache at 6AM and by 4PM I had the 100 caches - in the end I got 117 (1 multi, 2 virtuals, 3 earthcaches and the rest Trads - the one solved puzzle was too busy even at 6:30AM). I saw one big Brown Snake, added a couple of birds to my annual list (including Crimson Chats near Gumly Gumly), and saw lots of Caper Whites. Also got plenty of grazes, banged both shins on logs, got a splinter under one fingernail, and suspect I will lose another after dropping a rock on an unlogged Roostaman hide. Climbed a few trees, founds some clever caches and generally had a fantastic time.
Wasn't far away from this one and not certain why it doesn't get visited too often. Parked and quickly found the hide - a super strong magnet meant it was a tad tough to remove (another in the series might be similar?). Log signed and replaced while a four-legged friend came to say hello.

What a practical invention the stile is.... and another practical cache attachment. [^] This is a great little series along the river - beautifully quiet with lots of river views and birdlife. TFTC lgoody.
Along with Angusnmumy we ventured down to Flowerdale to check this one out and to find the Kraken. There it was and yes there also was the cache. wow two for the price of one. We signed it, replaced it then on our way to the next one. That was after mumy decided she was the Queen of the ladder, just of a moment.
Another nice part of Wagga with views you don't see much of around here unless you go further afield. There no friend animals around to day to say hello to.
Thanks lgoody for another adventure around the outskirts of Wagga. Lil Donna

Sometimes its the closer to home caches that surprise me with new locations. What a beautiful area, will attempt the other 2 on a nicer day!! Although I felt on top of the world we though we better get Kraken with these hidden creatures.

Found all 3 today! Great spots and thanks for the adventure - Jordan and Will
I was coming over to Wagga Wagga today for the Queen's Baton Relay change over to continue the run towards Queensland. It just so happened that there was a Geocaching event on too. After all the excitement of the Queen's Baton Relay, I went to do some shopping and have some lunch. It still wasn’t time to meet up at the event so I headed off for some pre-caching. After the event I went and did some post-caching before heading home. Thanks to all the owners of the caches I found and for the fun I had today.
I still have a little bit of time left. On last one cache won't hurt. A nice quick find on this on and I will call it a day. TFTC and time to go home.
P.S. Needs a new log book and cache container needs a lid.

We were in Wagga for Fri/Sat to attend a 30th surprise party. So of course, we decided to squeeze in a few caches as well. - Found with SuzieQau.
This one seemed out of place, lying on the ground away from the fence, missing its lid. So rehid where I thought it should have been but without a lid! - Should be checked by CO. Thanks.

Found it, was dislodged in trail marathon and we found it randomly on a bike ride which has started us geo caching! Easy find
Found!! Thank you... cool container!
Log might need replacing or drying out... it's pretty damp. Thanks for bringing us here!

Suscoe headed out this afternoon with the Phetlern team for a delightful afternoon of caching around Wagga Wagga.
We had a terrific time finding some interesting caches in some interesting locations.
So many town caches around this city.
Thanks to Igoody. We arrived and found the cache on the ground.
Log signed and we returned it where we thought it belonged.
The horses arrived looking for a pat and probably an apple but they were unlucky today.

A leisurely afternoon in and around the city, with Suscoe, in an effort to convert some of the many green boxes to smiley tokens on our geo-map. Two handsome horses came up to supervise our activity, so close to their patch.
Thanks lgoody for placing this cache.

A wet cold windy day in paradise. iGizmo was pointing in all directions but the clue narrowed the search just before the next downpour hit. TFTC.
TFTC. The second in this series we have found. This one was a quick drive by. The nearby horse came over to inspect what we were doing and then left when no food was forthcoming.
Came to Wagga to attend an event, so making a weekend of it. The only muggles about were the horses who were too busy eating so this was a quick find.
Thanks lgoody for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.
