#8195Day 2 of our Northern/Western NSW Roadtrip.Dubbo -> Bourke via 4 missing LGAs.Another long, but not quite as long, driving day. Heading out of Dubbo, through Cobar then north to Bourke for the night, pretty much grabbing anything that isnt a 1.5/1.5, especially high DTs, but theyre sparse out here anyways end of copy paste Quick easy find here and another for the Warren LGA! TNLN SLThanks for placing and maintaining this cache 12minimoo

#8195Back o Bourke Day 2! Dubbo->Bourke.Were on a road-trip chasing some LGAs we need between Coonamble and Kyogle, via Cobar and Bourke. The car is packed with TOTTs and snacks and we are prepared for long drives and short walks, hoping to gather the required LGAs without damaging our DT average in the process, all the while logging as many trigs as we could get to....Restroom? I would use other words to describe that place, I shouldn't use them here..... Thanks for the cache!

TFTC!

Accio 07:03:36Driving Brisbane to Central NSW yesterday in pouring rain, and today a bit of a tour of central NSW before heading to Albury tonight. Perfect sunshine, a light breeze, still warm. Nyngan was closed this early, so a few quick geocaches like this one before I headed further on in search of coffee.Thanks 12minimoo for entertaining me at this location. *{Overall find #12712}*

#7733Cameron's Corner road trip day 6. White Cliffs to home.Visiting a few new LGAs on the way home. Did a lap before I spotted what I was looking for.TFTC 12minimoo

Once I believed the coords it was easy. Can't believe it's dry!Heading to Dubbo today after 2 months wandering from Sydney to Mackay to Winton, Cobar and now east.Need this LGA.Tftc

Whilst on our half lap convinced muggle driver to make a few stops here and there to make some finds. Thanks ps late logs sorry

Easy cache good find TFTC!

Thanks 12minimoo! Quick find and its all nice and dry!

Number three find in Warren Shire. There are only three to log in this shire. This took awhile to find, as my Garmin had GZ out in the open. However, I finally turned around and spotted the cache in full view. TFTC 12minimoo.

A quick stop for us along the way here, and an LGA we have not cached in. Today we are driving from Cobar to Cowra and gradually making our way to Canberra. Quickly spotted, and our name is now on the log sheet. Thanks 12minimoo. Domsky

Day 4 of my tour of Central NSW. Hoping to chase some LGAs and other points of interest. Left Gilgandra and headed West with Bourke as the target for the end of the day. First stop was Nevertire where a slosh through the wet found this cache. Luckily it's a fine sunny day and the shoes will dry out. Next stop was just a quick pitstop but cache is not quite the way it should be. Log is still fine and dry though. Tftc

A quick find, still in great condition!

A quick find here, cache is all goodHeaded over to the Capital GeoBash in Canberra, ACT with Freddo over 5 days, travelling through the central part of NSW before caching around the hinterlands. A nice few days over with great weather.Thanks for the cache

Cool

TFTC 12minimoo your cache Pit stop that we found today as we made our way south for Christmas. We left Nyngan this morning with a plan to stop at Cobar. But as often happens plans change and we continued towards Wilcannia stopping along the way until we reached McCullochs Rest for an overnight stop.All caches found relatively easily and good places to pull over with Motorhome and car in tow. Great to be able to stretch the legs every so often.We did a 60km round trip detour for this one . It was a new LGA for us. Cache was not hidden as expected on the pole but a look up to the other structure meant we had the cache in hand. Placed back where we found it.Find Count: 17260 .

Found cache and signed the log, however I am pretty sure hide is not as original placement. Camo has degraded and have seen this type before and it is missing a vital component to hide as it is meant to. TFTC

On return trip to Brisbane after the Bathurst great race. Grabbing a few along the way. Caching with my partnerThanks for the cache12minimoo9 October 2023

Caching with Oddiewan with the Cache Crusader in tow. Were picking up caches in new-to-us LGAs in outback QLD and NSW on a two-week holiday. Another on our LGA list, a nice quick find. crazy fly convention here, worst weve had since we took off from SEQ two weeks ago. Cache in good shape.Thanks for the fun, 12minimoo

No luck looked all over the pole its super windy and stuff so I didnt hang around.

Interesting story here, the local council workers here to fix the picnic shelter and table as a vehicle crashed through here 3 weeks ago wrecking the shelter and destroying the concrete water tank against the toilets and pushing in the toilet wall. The conrete tank shown in previous photo is removed and they are fixing the picnic shelter. Not sure if past caches signed log.

A quick find.SL TFTC

Found with Geo hubby. 12minimoo, thank you so much for placing it for everyone to enjoy and highlighting this area. ??

Thank you so much for placing this cache here so ‘conveniently’.
These places are few and far between on our long journey north to Longreach, and having caches like this one gives my travel companion icybeetas a good reason to stop and locate the cache.
No more unfound for me along this road till we reach Bourke.

Driving from Dubbo to Bourke with the final destination being Longreach I made the stop for a quick find. Thank you for the cache which was an excuse to break the journey.

Had a quick look couldn't find it. Try again next time I'm passing through

Spent a perfectly nice night here on the way to Uluṟu thank you

Time for a pit stop, easy find.

I needed this county so had to stop for this cache. A quick find at GZ. Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl

Found It!
Stopped here in the dark and spent far too long searching the wrong structure. Was about to give up and leave when I realised there was somewhere else it could be and sure enough there is was!

We've been zigzagging across the country collecting new lgas. Big detour to grab this one. Happy now. Tftc

Took a minute or two to find.tftc.

Thanks for the quick drive by and loo stop. Headed to

Quick park and grab on the way home after working away from home. TFTC

We continued today our tour in NewSouthWales, AUS, and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.

The weather was - said in one word – simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood.

The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.

Thanks to 12minimoo for the generation of this nice cache Pit stop (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.

PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they appeared.

Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

Lucky for me I was ok not to take a break.

TFTC

Today we are headed from Cobar and towards the coast. It’s a hot one and we will see where we end up!

It took a few minutes to find this one until I went outback and spotted the spider webs entangled the cache in the hole.

The loos were a welcome albeit a smelly relief.

Another new LGA for us!!!

What a year Sandyofthesea and I have had. We kitted out the Prado and took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April 2022 to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. We started with the Nullabour, Eyre and York Peninsulas, the Riverlands, visited family in Victoria and then back in SA it got cold. Flinders and the Oodnadatta Track was amazing and we finally warmed up in Dalhousie Springs. The Alice beckoned and then a change of plan and we ended up tackling the Tanami Track to the Kimberley and Bungles Bungles. Territory Day in Darwin was unhinged - please try and do it! The Gulf, the coast and the car breaker ‘Old Tele Track’ to the top of Cape York. This is a must but it’s not easy! Eventually made it to Brisbane to get some fixes to the car….. let’s see where we end up.

Making our way home from QOGM 2022 to deal with an urgent issue, and attempting to avoid the predicted rain.

Stayed at Nyngan overnight. The paddocks and shoulders are very wet and it is difficult to pull up roadside with the caravan behind so we are very selective as too where we stop.

We needed a cache in this LGA, so was good to make a quick and dry find. Retrieval was interesting, placing back in its spot was easy.

TFTC SL trackables visited

Certainly needed a pit stop by the time I got here.

Going through caches I completed on my way up, this one slipped through, so am logging now. Really appreciate the caches placed along this road, breaks the journey up, gives me something to look forward to and makes me stop to check out the scenery!

Full time nomads heading towards Broken Hill for Mundi Mundi Bash. Stopped along our route with the caravan on tow to add our name to the log today.

Gotcha ' Found easy enough. Tftc

Finally found in my deFence so I could Post a find.

Road trip Day Two: Coonabarabran to Adelaide.
As many LGAs as possible!
Halfway through the day we found out we had to be back in time for something the following afternoon, resulting in a very long day!

There are only four caches in this LGA, and all quick park and grabs. I’ve never had 100% of an LGA before, so let’s do this.

And here it is, four out of four. Not a glamorous spot for a special moment, but it is what it is, right?

Thanks for the cache 12minimoo.

Quick stop, semi was parked nearby but luckily was able to make the find nicely. All in order cache wise thanks!

Cheers for the cache

After a stormy, hot and rainy night in Cobar we’re back on the road again! We’ve nearly finished week one of our big road trip and are loving being back on the road (and out of Melbourne).
Team work on this one but the big one got their hands on it first!
TFTC

Was worried it was in the crapper. Close enough to smell. TFTC.

Tftc 12minimoo, often struggle with 1/1Caches, this was no different, needed and extendable magnet tool to extract as the container had slipped further into its hidey hole.
Then tweezers to extract the log.
All good here now.

TFTF

Over thought this one so it took a few minutes to locate it. We definitely made it harder than it should have been.
Thanks 12minimoo for the placement.

I was looking in a very wrong place at first, because nothing else made sense. And I was about to give but decided to have a look in a place where I have already looked and didn't see anything. And it finally caught my eye! Hooray!

Found

We have made a litlle break at this place and found the cache easily.
TFTC

Quite an easy find despite not downloading the cache details beforehand. Just took a guess and got lucky. Cache is in good condition. Signed and replaced. Thanks for placing the cache

We are trying to complete a challenge cache and need to find one between 770 and 780 kms from home. We’re pleased to have found this one, but it’s only 739.2 kms from home. We’re hoping the next few at Nyngan will do it for us.
Used the chop stick technique to retrieve this one.

Today it was time to move on, so we are headed for Bourke. A lovely day and it certainly got warmer as we headed north. There were quite a few caches to collect en route, all traditionals, but the day was broken up well and quite a casual trip.
Thank you to all the local COs for your efforts.

No-one but us here today. TFTC 12minimoo. Found 2/6/21 4:22 pm. Cache 1953 for us.

Found and logged using the Cachly app for iPhone.

Challenging but for the special tool, so we left another for the next folks.
Thanks 12minimoo

Another stop to break up the drive. Not having the hand of a small child, we couldn't extract this at first but a suitable tool from the kit saved the day. Thanks 12minimoo.

***COs- I am trying to catch up on a massive logging backlog, some of it going back a number of years.
I am logging this cache on the day I visited it, not the day I'm logging it on.***

??This trip is the....
Geo Tour launch-3rd attempt and LGA trip.
I wanted to do this trip in February but covid put a stop to that, the main problem being getting back home to Queensland without having to abandon the car somewhere and fly home into 2 weeks quarrantine.??

??this cache...
LGA challenge (Local Govt Area)

Popped out here for this one and signed the log, all good with the cache.

Found on the way between Dubbo and Nyngan, headed for Charleville. Good spot for a cache.

Passed this cache on my way to Cobar but the stop was busy, today it was just me here.
Quick find
Thank you for hiding this geocache 12minimoo

Found on a trip around inland NSW with FeatherWaite.

Our original intention was to attend the Mega event at Dayboro in Queensland, travelling up via Broken Hill, Bourke, Cunamulla and Toowoomba, then home via the NSW coast to Port Macquarie then on to Adelaide via central NSW. However, the Covid outbreak in Brisbane forced us to reconsider, particularly given that the Mega and associated events were within the area of concern and we may have had difficulty re-entering NSW to get home and then would have had to quarantine back in SA for 14 days.

The floods in the north and east of NSW also hampered our travel plans. But we were able to develop a new plan that took us on a very pleasant tour around country NSW, picking up some great caches along the way.

Thanks 12minimoo for the cache.

Stopped there on our way to Dubbo.
Nice hiding spot, took me longer to find than I like to admit lol

Cows! Gremlinkids tried to feed the cows but they weren't going to have it. I was cache blind but gremlindaddy found it in like 2sec flat. Great hide. Was obvious but not. TFTC.

We are enroute to Dubbo from Cobar. Starter motor won't start and we need a replacement. Options right now is let car keep running or do a hill start. We are travelling around NSW over school holidays and this happened... already running Plan B... now onto Plan C. Wish us luck!

Found it

Day 7 of our road trip already, today we leaving Broken Hill for a long drive to Dubbo. Not that many caches on the way and that's good, because 40° does not make good caching weather!

Day 3 of a 7 day trip from Canberra to Bourke, to Narrabri, to Armidale and back to Canberra. The main goal (apart from having a break from working from home) is to collect counties, and see some of NSW I haven't been to before. Cache easily found. TFTC.
