Seems to have gone missing again. The original sign that inspired this cache is long gone, and although it's an interesting little hidden path I'm not sure it justifies a cache hide. I've spoken to the original hider in case they wanted to adopt it back and they don't. So, I think I'll archive this one and free up the space for someone else to consider a hide here.

Unfortunately it wasn’t to be found by us today

Nice little hide log is wet

Out for the day and stopped for a look
Not too long to find. Log is a bit wet but still usable. TFTC

Nope. And council cars pulling up as we stopped didn't help.

Vždycky, když jdu na kešku,
celý lov si užívám.
Říkám si, že po dnešku,
další bodík mám.

Hledat krabku lehké není,
pár jsem jich už odlovil.
Někdy je to utrpení,
ani nevím, kde jsem byl.

Těším se na příští výzvu,
další poklad odloven.
Kamaráda vždycky přizvu,
děkuje ti Stohowen.

Rád mám hlavně tradičku,
ta moc času nežere.
Obtížnost má jedničku,
zaloguj ji kačere.

Mysterka či multina,
mozek mi vždy zaměstná.
někdy je to rutina,
Obtížnost je pověstná.

Deset stovek mám za sebou,
snad to zvládnu brzy zas.
Cestičkou jdu vždycky slepou,
už mě volá lovu hlas.

Vyrážím vstříc dalším keškám,
na krabky jsem jako ďas,
Doufám, že dnes nic nezmeškám,
musím pohnout, nemám čas.

Kdo hledá, najde

We love visiting Bowral, beautiful area & great caches. Thanks for this one! Tnsl xo

Great hide

Easy find. Managed to scramble to in thongs but did go the longer way lol TFTC

Good scramble up, wear shoes with deep grip as sand shoes guaranteed a quick slide down.
Log is a bit tatty .

#2636
Visiting some friends in Moss Vale I decided to take advantage of the trip by finding some caches on the way there. This one was unplanned but I spotted it was on the way at the last bus stops here cache that I found. Only saw the DNF once I'd already parked, but thought I would have a quick look anyway. Found quickly without too much trouble.
TFTC NationalSteel

No luck today
Thanks

OCW marj01. We gave this one our best shot but came up empty handed today.

#5366 (12 of 12 today)

Almost at the end of completing my streak for *Tomorrow will be a different challenge* (GC59F90). But I still need a sixth different cache type. I'm also after at least three finds today towards my goal of ten finds per calendar day by the end of 2019.

Well, if I return to Mittagong there are plenty of caches still to find and there's a *Letterbox* to get that last cache type. Looks like my day is all planned out.

Found 12 with a DNF and a DNAttempt, including the Letterbox and a 5/5 Challenge. Top day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
I had left this due to not wanting to cross busy Mittagong Road from other finds. But I needed to return to pick up my pen left nearby. So I stopped here on the way.

Took a few minutes to find the right spot - the iPhone wandered a bit. Quick find once there.

Signed, replaced and then off to grab my pen, and home.

Cache condition good but needs a new log.
OCW *Throsbyonchurch* who came for a revisit and *Little Kitten* so we could sign our names in the log. Replaced the cache. Thank you for the hide.

Managed to find our way to the cache eventually. Tftc

Quick find.Did the climb up. Tftc

Found with help of Activity

Less welcoming than it once was, but a welcoming cache all the same. As Team Canary noted, a read of the description held the answers on where to look once at GZ. Thanks NationalSteel.

After reading the description I followed the GPS higher and made the find.

TFTC.

Heading off in a couple of days so trying to find a few more around town before I leave.

Thanks Hayden - nedyaH and NationalSteel - leetSlanoitaN ... like what I did there

Pulled up amidst a traffic jam. Waited a minute or two until it cleared...then found the cache.

Nice quick find with friends

Streak Day #1543 - Out with dave8153 today enjoying the beautiful sunny day and stopped by here for a quick find. TFTC

On a day trip with Snoopy1976 to the Southern Highlands today, After being stuck in traffic for over an hour on the Hume Highway, we stopped and had some lunch and then headed to this cache. An easy find once at the right Level. TFTC

Great spot!

Found with WRAACie on our way to Bowral. TFTC

Team GoldJ and I get off a cruise ship this morning and now on a drive to visit friends in Bowral but can't take a drive with caches. Tftc.

Haven't visited this one since adopting it years ago so dropped by to check on it. The new footpath work is finished now and there is still a large space suitable for parking. The container is a bit scruffy but ok for the location and the log is a little damp but usable with plenty of space left. Enjoy!

Through a bit of scrub and bingo! Tftc!

TFTC! Made the find after a little scrambling and scouring.
Legs like frosty jelly by now after a good 5 odd km.

Found 02/07/17. Paths was tricky due to the overgrown ivy patch, hint was usefull and getting doen was perilous, log was damp though. CO might need to update parking info as the addotion of a new footpath has removed any easy parking other thab Cliff St.

I made pinkih climb up to get this as I had the white pant on, TFTC

Super quick find on the way to work with Keno7. I did the little climb as Keno7 was inappropriately dressed in white! Log was very damp. Had to park on side street as the new path is under construction TFTC

I did this from the main road, but my guess is, that that was wrong! However, once at GZ, although I could see the path, it was WAY overgrown - I really don't think I could have walked that! So, in the end, a nice quick find. Thanks NS.

Tricky! The hint really helped. Lots of spider webs around.

The short little climb was not helped by the heavy rain but it certainly was a lovely welcome to the lovely Bowral

Found somewhere to pull in, TFTC.

#5855 - 13:50; In Mittagong for a meeting, I had a bit of time for some caching on the return journey to Canberra. After a trip over the hill, I backtracked to collect this cache. A small climb involved, but once that was done the cache was quickly located. TFTC NationalSteel

Follow the trial so it's not a trial
Tftc!

#819 Fourteenth of twenty four finds on a beautiful Sunday's caching around the Southern Highlands. Nice quick find after a short search. TFTC

It was time to do another run through the highlands again as it's been some months and some caches had popped up and had decided they needed some smiley faces. We did a handful of them on a cool Friday morning with only one dnf. An enjoyable few hours spent doing what we love doing best! Tftc tnln.

Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache NationalSteel.

How much traffic is there on this road.
Quick find then off to the next up the hill.

I had a work trip to Sydney on Friday, so I stayed overnight with the intention of doing some caching around North Sydney where I was staying, but the rain started to fall & eventually I decided to head off & grab what I could along the way.

A quick find, or rather climb & find.

TFTC NationalSteel.

Should have read the clue as jammed thumb in rock cavity below,ouch,nice hide on a little track,tftc

The hardest part of this cache was parking in a suitable place and crossing the road twice! Locate GZ and the cache very quickly but the road crossing was a pain.
TFTC

Found with Nacki22 after a slightly suspicious looking scramble into the Bush. No railing anymore. Just follow the geotrail to the old path.

Took a little while to get to the path with the railing, and a bit of a scramble checking likely places, but found it fairly quickly while out with Halcyon123

1625 GAFF1 This turned out to be #4 of FOUR different Types of caches found today. After picking up the younger son from Sydney airport we headed 'south' so I could finally knock off a Challenge cache that had been bothering me for almost two years. The while in the area I thought I would have a go at finding a few caches (and Waymarks) before heading to Taree. This one took a little while, as there was a van driver enjoying a 'smoko' directly below GZ.
All good with the cache, dry and intact; good coordinates, but unable to a CSM - a favourite instead, as in order to clear out my 50 km radius zone I 'had to' find a lot of T1½ caches, and it brought my average down.

My second try at this one. Happy Uke and a friend from Melbourne came along for the fun.

I was looking in the wrong direction on my first try. TFTC

Couldn't find this last week. Maybe the GPS and we were tired. Fortunately, a quick find today. TFTC

A quick find on a very wet day. I can't believe I messed up on this one last time.
Thanks for the cache.

My mate from Japan dropped in on a flying visit. After explaining my new hobby, geocaching, we decided to go and find some caches. We got four from four. He loved it, I think we have another convert. We looked on the internet and found some caches near his place. When he gets home he is going to grab his kids and have a go at finding them.

This was our first for the day. We pulled up close, but did spend a little time scrambling around as GPS was bouncing all over the place. So put GPS away and just looked around. My friend found it and the look on his face was priceless! The log book is full, but squeezed my name on the end. He was eager to find another! Thanks

Our first cache today in Bowral and a good one. Easy parking and a quick scramble up the hill and we had CIH. Thanks

Interesting pathway? shame these old pathways are forgotton. TFTC

Found it a few days ago. Forgot to log it. Tftc

nice hide we went to far before getting the cache. tftc (D:) dropped of tb's

Not so much of a scramble as first thought. Easy find. TFTC

Managed to pull up right beside this one.
Climbed up abit.....oops,to high,there's a house there. Down a little ..aha a cache.
Nice one!

TFTC a quick find along our journey.

The sign has gone, fairly easy find. TFTC

Doing a few caches on way back from sydney -tftc

How dare they move the sign! I know it used to be here :S
Nevertheless CIH soon enough thanks to geo-hubby finding the easier way to this one.

Beating around the bush is not my cup of tea. Eventually opted for the direct approach which wasn't nearly as difficult as it seemed and certainly much more effective.

This one didn't take long to find, once I'd worked out how to get to the 'path'. It was overgrown and I walked through I-don't-know-how-many spider webs. Signed log and continued on my drive. TFTC

Easy scramble. Kids enjoyed this one.

I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” *Throsbyonchurch* and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.

After doing a handful of caches this afternoon I decided to head home and knock this one off my list. I'd assumed this would not be a quick grab because one would be on display for all to see so I have been putting it off. I let geokid go seek the treasure thinking it was as above but when it wasn't located and necessitated my investigation I soon discovered GZ was a nice little spot where you don't need to worry about eye-spying muggles. Took us a little bit to sort out GZ due to a number of factors but thankfully not too long. Should have sent hubby off with the garden clippers in hand coz boy 'its a jungle out there'. The railing is in disrepair and the "WELCOME TO BOWRAL" sign has been relocated closer to Mittagong. Enjoyed yet another of your caches. SL and returned to hidey hole. Thank you for bringing us here.

Caching at night always takes longer than planned especially when the gps is bouncing around and your phone torch is not the best tool to use. Anyway after climbing up and down 3 times I soon had CIH . Cache and log in good shape. Tftc

Thank you for this cache, enjoyed finding this (:

Found with Hush5 and Oyston4 (Luck6 had to leave our convoy earlier). One of the caches that is not where you expect it be. Again a little bit tricky when you're a part of a convoy. But we found it eventually. TFTC.
