Hi HINCO,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

DNF on 7/3/20

DNF 7Mar2020

I’ve attempted this twice now. I’ve looked in every spot I can think of but I’m not giving up!!! I’ll keep an eye on this one and if someone logs as found I’m gonna head on down there for another go. Until then, this shall remain a mystery to me.

Found

The GPS and the hint guided to the cache although the true meaning of the hine became apparent at the GZ. TFTC.

I see someone who visited is an AFL supporter and left a figure of Selwood when he played for WC Eagles. (2018 premiers). These days he plays alongside his bro Joel with Geelong Cats! Nice little spot.....slowly being taken over by suburbia. TFTC!

Grabbed this one before the sun rose. Tftc.

A quick find, interesting rock. TFTC

Time for one last short detour on me way to camp tonight

Aussie !! Aussie !! Aussie !!
Oi !! Oi !! Oi !!

Well yes just a little like Australia but I do have one just a little better, in my back yard . This was an easy find with Angusnmumyadventure

TFTC. On the way back into Wagga Wagga after finishing the Triad power trail. What else would you call this cache. A quick find.

Back in Wagga for another weekend of caching - this time with Kittykatch, Joolay and DarkSideDan. A couple of the power trails in our sights, but a few others besides!

Unless otherwise indicated, caches found and in good order.

Thanks HINCO for the cache and the fun!

Found with Kittykatch, AngelG27 and Darksidedan on a caching weekend to Wagga. Been a great day and loved seeing a different part of the country. Thanks for bringing us here

T4tc - took nothing left nothing.

Found on the 17/02/2018

I had the strangest urge last night to go for a long caching road trip this weekend. As soon as I woke up this morning I packed the necessities and prepared a coffee before heading to Wagga Wagga.
I've only cached there once before, but with others who had already poached most of the area. This time I got to choose!
However the long drive lead me by others which I had to sparingly choose only a few as it delayed my arrival to my destination.
A long day that I capped my find total at 100 finds. Tommorow I hope to get just as many on the way home.

Thanks for the caches.

Nice quick find.

After a really great day yesterday completing the RGGT trail and starting the Friends, I had my heart set on completing that one, but an over protective butcher bird at the final cache put paid to that goal.

I started the day in Wagga Wagga and travelled home via Marrar, Old Junee and Junee. At that stage I realised that arriving home today was going to be impossible unless I stopped caching. I had never travelled that road before and again I thank geocaching for taking me that way to see so many wonderful sights - the lambs sticking close to their mums; the calves frolicking in the sun; the canola crops were either lush green or already cut; the wheat at various stages of being ripe from still green to flaxen and the beautiful sight of people fishing while out enjoying the lovely spring weather.

Oh and the caches were great too. There were a variety of hides, containers and camouflages. However I must admit to one low spot and that was when I had to sack Monty, aka my GPSr, after he led me on a merry dance for about 15 minutes at a cache that everyone else had said was easy! I grabbed Sam(sung) from the car and he immediately showed me the right way to go. Go figure!

All caches found were in good condition and logs were signed, often as SG to save space and time.

Thank you to all COs for their part in making my life so enjoyable.

Individual caches will get extra notes if appropriate.

Quick easy find for us. Thankyou.

Our 199th find!

Tftc

Nice find...busy road.

After two very long weeks at work and other commitments on the to-do-list, I decided to get away and do some caching. I decided to clean up as much as I could of north Wagga today on the long weekend. Thanks to all CO’s for the fun and for the caches I found today. Sorry to all cache owners if I put 2/9/17 instead of 2/10/17.

Another nice simple find here. While approaching this one I knew it had to be there as per the cache name. So I quickly signed and moved on.

Headed to Wagga Wagga today to drop of geo-son no. 1 for the week, whilst here I couldn't pass up the opportunity to grab a cache or 100! The RGGT trail was my main focus. With geo-son's 3 & 4 in tow (DK & MNJ), we had fun collecting caches for the day.

Now back in town, this was the next on our list. TFTC.

6th find : )

Tftc super cool find!

What a ripper. Great description.

Was in the area today & hadn't noticed this one on previous trips here. Had time to stop and grab it on my way past. SL and replaced as found. It's definitely an aussie rock! Tftc.

I enjoyed a day caching around Wagga Wagga. I stopped to log quite a few of your caches, including this one. Thanks for the hide.

Tfg

In town for a long days caching, finding as many as possible. Stopped to grab this on the way back into town after doing the RGGT. Wow there is so much developement going out this way. A quick find.
Thanks HINCO for placing the cache for us to find.

Nice find and good cache. TFTC

Yup! it looked like the Aussie rock!! TFTC

Good find while holidaying around the area today.
Had a great time going from cache to cache.
*Thanks for the fun!*

Found without any problem but log book soaked and mouldy, needs replacing. TNLN. Couldn't sign log.

Found quickly with Aquilus1 on a hot afternoon. New development nearby had us have to take a small detour, but easy enough to navigate to GZ. As previously mentioned, log is still wet. Signed bag, but will need some tlc immediately. Tftc!!!

Found with dty73, unfortunately log was still mush and mould and unable to sign so signed the outer plaster bag around the log instead. Interesting shape this rock indeed! TFTC!

It does look a bit like Australia doesn't it!
A nice quick find, but as the lat log states the logbook was soaked and unsignable.
I signed my name though, on a card or something I believe I managed to get my name in there on another form of paper! But theres no room for the next person so will need to be replaced

Thanks HINCO

Easy find. Too wet to sign. TFTC

Good hide TFTC

Quick find while holidaying in Ganmain.TFTC

Thanks guys. The cache itself is a bit wet, and so are the contents though, but we still managed to sigh ok.

Found with relative ease, standing at the right angle the rock does indeed looks like Australia! We were careful not to hurt poor Tasmania
Tftc

Having a cache day with farmer--brown, with this being our first hit. Wasn't too sure about the rock looking like Australia, but after a few angles I finally got it. TFTC HINCO.

Found by Mary & David at 0930. Well worth a cache. A choir of magpies greeted us here. A few years since we have had a caching day in Wagga, and we're constantly surprised at all the building going on. A nice quick find. Our thanks to HINCO.

Not so easy at night, & i kicked my toe on tassie

Love it

Having arrived in Wagga on Monday afternoon plans were made to find a few caches in the cool of the evening. The main event being planned for Tuesday where we hit the trail to do the series Riverina series. Great fun and we thank HINCO for placing this cache.

I get it, and i got it. Tftc

How cachers find such uniquely shaped rocks to place their hides always amazes me. I was not sure what to,expect, but it became very clear when I arrived at GZ. Took TB and signed log TFTC HINCO

Another HINCO cache to add to our numbers this morning. What a great shaped rock! Stomped our way through the grass once more to let the snakes know we were in the area. Did not see or hear any this time! SL at 10.18am The sky is getting darker and the rain is not far away, but on we go. Took: aboriginal figure Left: an Aussie gemstone and Oi Oi Oi TB.#2443 TFTC HINCO - we are staying in Wagga from Victoria for a few days at a caravan park.

Found it after the power trail.
Nice quick find.

Found while on a great Caching expedition to Wagga Wagga with the WEEO, first time I have been exhausted by caching! (sorry for the late log). TFTC

Just had a great Caching experience with the Newberys caching the RGGT trail with the Newberys. We ejoyed it so much we just kept going to do these local caches. TFTC TNLN.

Quick find on busy road

I'm doing a GeoCaching tourist trip - The GeoSchnauzers and I are off to Wagga Wagga and surrounds, just under 200 kms from home. It's Monday morning, and we're off in good time. Once out of Canberra, the first cache I haven't found is past Yass. I've booked into a cheap motel which will accept the dogs, I'm kitted up with dog gear, geocaching gear, computer gear, for geocaching, and even gear for me to wear.

Tuesday. It' s a beautiful day, sunny, and promising to be hot for spring, as was yesterday. Today, the GeoSchnauzers and I are doing the RGGT Power Trail. I'm not sure how this will go, as I'm by myself in the car, and this is nearly four times as many caches as I have previously done in a day (22 caches). As it turned out, I did 84 today - 79 of 80 RGGT caches (1 DNF), the RGGT Finale puzzle cache, and fours others on the way back to the motel.

Apologies for the generic logs. I have recorded something that struck me about most of the caches, but I did it on paper, as I don't like logging via an Android - typing is too time consuming. As a result, I may have got some of the cache comments against the wrong cache, but you'll get the idea.

It turned out also that I did the Power trail in about 6.5 hours, less than five minutes per cache. Not bad, considering the driving, searching, logging and dog walking I did. - Here we go:

No 23 of 84 today. Hah!! Good one, nice rock. Thanks!!!

Gotcha Tftc

Feeling like Indiana Jones!

Found during a twenty four hour caching trip with Steeba. We had headed into the Riverina, aiming to complete the Riverina Geocaching Geotriad Tribute Power Trail in Wagga Wagga (I have found one cache of the Triad, Geocaching HQ) and the Endangered Species Power Trail in Bookham, whilst also collecting the odd cache or two along the way. This was one of many cache finds across a 24 hour period; I hope that you will forgive the generic log. We signed many cache logs over the course of a travels as "H & S."

We took about 2.5 hours for the Riverina Geocaching Geotriad Power Trail on Friday night, and 3.5 hours for the Endangered Species Power Trail on Saturday morning. Pretty good times we thought. We immensely enjoyed our trip, and thank all of the cache hiders for their efforts.

Cool rock. A quick post Power Trail find.

Cheers

Nice easy find

Found on a beautiful winters day after completing the RGGT series. TFTC HINCO

Quick and simple find

Found on our Wagga Wagga trip. We managed to catch up to the bikers that we followed on the way in, so after they went ahead, we parked the car and found the cache quickly. Nice part of the new suburbs. TNLNSL. TFTC HINCO!
