Spending some time caching around the NSW/ACT southern tablelands with lots of side trips. TFTC.A trip to Tomokin with Aquilus1 for a few days caching. Today was travel day with a few collected on the way.Great to f8nally find this one. Nice little pub.
Quick find while booking into local pub for trivia night. A local came over & said he sees many people looking for the cache. He said so many people appear really excited when they find it. Thanks for making people's day!
Found it. Probably looked weird cos there were cars and people about lol. Thanks
Reperio 14:19Day 3 of our NSW south eastern caching tour, and Master Vitruvius and I travelled from Captains Flat this morning to Batemans Bay. The day kicked off with completing more of the longer series and power trails and culminating with some night caching around the bay and beyond. Almost all the caches we stopped by were found, and found in good health. It was a great day out.Gratias KittykatchAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV
Day 22 of my interstate trip. Today I packed up and left Bateman's Bay and finally made my way to Canberra where I will be staying for 3 nights. I managed to find 11 caches today and only 1 DNF.Was a quick find on my way to Canberra.TFTC Kittykatch
Some of my friends and I was at the Staying at the caravan for ark across the road and we came to the Steampacket for dinner and saw this one was here. We went over do find it and one of my friends found it in a minute. Great quick find. TFTF
Found it, tftc. Staying in the van park, now you bought us here, we'll get a beer.
Cache number 600 for us. Staying across the road in the big 4 for the school holidays with friends who introduced us to geocaching years ago. Found in the dark on an evening stroll after a fun day swimming
Found it pretty easily, the logs gave me a very good idea of where it was. Don't think too hard, what would you not want to crash into but other people might? Thank you for the cache!
After a brief stop in Nelligen I stopped by here parked a few metres from the cache and walked over, ignoring the patrons outside drinking in the pub and signed. Went inside this pub once and about 30 years ago. TFTC.
A day of geocaching ended with a beer at the Steampacket and of course picking up this last cache! Thanks for the impetus to grab that beer!
The only one I got today despite passing many along the way.
Getting home was the priority it seems.
Thanks

Billie the wonder dog provided excellent cover while retrieving and returning the cache!
While staying in the area we picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.
While doing the Lab caches in the area we discovered your cache, yep took some time to find, got there in the end. Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks Kittykatch for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found this with my 3 year old niece. She wanted to hide it somewhere else but after some convincing it has been safely returned. TFTC
Catching up on logs - so sorry for the long delay.
6 weeks in Queensland without the drive to log and simply forgot on return home.
Got the bug again and so better catch up.
The lowest count of Geocaches on a tri to QLD.

As we were staying right across the road, we ventured across to find this. The previous night was a no go as the Nelligen festival was on. We had wandered over to listen from the road and a lady was dancing on a chair right in front of GZ so we let her be and returned the next day when it was much quieter!
This was a quick park and find after staying a couple nights at the really nice Big 4 across the road. However, whilst I was signing the log in discretion in my car, Jess whom appeared to be local pub dog here proceeded to slowly lumber along after a group of ducks much to the frustrated calls of her owner, which provided quite the amusement as the ducks had her easily beat in the legs.
Many thanks to the cache owner for the find.

A quick find with Ilmari_the_Red. The log book is full; we managed to scrawl our names on the cover. It could do with a replacement. TFTC!
Found on a drive down to the coast qith Trifolia Argentea (visiting from NZ!)
Found this one - finally - on the way home from the coast today. I think I have been pass this spot a thousand times in the last 20+ years and this is the first time I’ve been able to stop in this carpark.
Cache found - Log is a bit wet, but still able to write on it. Should be fine for a while yet. Tftc!!!

Was camping down at pretty and pebbly beach and came to Nelligen in between to try do the adventure lab but reception was really bad. Found this cache while trying to find reception and turn around. Thanks.
Found it with some local friends who are (kinda) new to geocaching. Did some trading too. A quick solid hide at a cool restaurant location. TFTC!
Staying at sth durras for a few days and headed out this way for the AL and the traditionals. Quick easy find outside the new steampacket hotel. A few muggles seated outside but with the geokids and a broadsided vehicle ‘the sleigh’ obscuring GZ there is no dramas. TFTC
Nice drive to Narooma before heading home after a few great days on the coast. Weather has been perfect. Found on the way home. Tftc
Headed to Moruya with fitzy_1965, Death Killer and my_name_jeff_1 for a weekend of caching.
Day 2 saw us up early for a bit of caching before joining up as Capital Crunchers with albida33, Sol de Lune, Smittengranny, Joolay, kitty katch, barb2e & cosmonaut97 (plus a couple of muggles). Mr Windy also joined our group as he was also on the coast this weekend. We did a bit of caching as a group before parting ways and caching our way home.
All caches were found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned.

Having just done the AL tour around this old village, was kind of expecting to find something else here. Still, a quick PnG easily found and we headed off for more smileys.
On way to Canberra, picking off unusual cache types, labs, and the odd trad.
Parked at GZ and retrieved cache quickly, as the hordes headed to the coast...

We are spending this week in Narooma and today, I did a geo-tour of Eurobodalla Shire visiting places I've either not seen before or not for a long time. I focused mainly on ALs and earthcaches (and top of the list was the Wasp Head one, a "must do" cache, I think, for all serious Aussie cachers) but naturally I did a few others that were handy, like this one.
A straightforward find here before I started on the Nelligen Pioneers AL ... thanks for placing the cache here Kittykatch.

Down at the Bay, and to and from, over the past few days collecting a variety of types of caches. Grateful thanks to COs for placing and maintaining the caches to entertain me on my journey.

Staying at Depot Beach for the weekend from Sydney. Very quite on a Sunday afternoon. After our find we had a look at the caravan park across the way. It even has its own skate park! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
A last minute decision to go to Bateman's Bay for a bit of caching, visiting friends and planning the next big caching adventure. Weather was very ordinary on the way here, but turned wonderful as soon as I started caching.
