Logs
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Making our way to Broken Hill for Mundi Mundi Bash. Staying in Narromine for a couple of days we headed out caching around the local area today.This was some distance from our GZ. Found at S32 14.837 e148 16.638TFTC wilyam2003
A bit of the coordinates but found the cache. The sand is very slippery my granddaughter slipped over #70 we have enjoyed our stay in Naromine TFTC
The wet sand was slippery and I skated, but luckily stayed upright. I picked up the trackable 'Holiday Travel Bug Snow Globe Tag'. TFTC wilyam2003.
This cache didn't take too long to find although it was a bit larger than we expected. Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.
Heading to Longreach for the last QOGM with Team Crackers, Geoturtle37 and Papi4506.We stopped along the way to pick up a few caches and signed the log as PDGC.(Papi Drovers Geoturtle Crackers)Thanks to all the Co's for making this trip, more enjoyable. Signed and replaced as found.
We are heading up to Longreach for the last QOGM with The Drover, Geoturtle37 and Papi4506 naturally stopping to grab any caches that come on the map aiming to get as many LGA's as we can.
After finding the cache further out the road we decided to head into town for a coffee but not before stopping to look for this cache. We all followed the GPSr's along the little trackand then spotted a likely hidey hole which turned out to contain a bigger than expected cache container and we happily added our names tot he log before returning everything as it was.
To save room in the log we signed PDGC (Papi Drove Geoturtle Crackers)
Many thanks Wilyman2003 for the cache.

Our second for the day, on our way towards QOGM in Longreach.
I guessed where this one would be as soon as icybeetas pulled up.
Thanks for another smiley face on our maps.

Arriving at GZ I looked to where I would have hidden a cache. Sure enough it was there so my second find for the day was done.
32,361. Found during our Queensland Outback GeoMuster (QOGM) 2023 Longreach Adventure - a 33 day epic tour of Northern NSW and Outback Queensland finding many caches, attending great evets and catching up with awesome Cachers along the way.Queensland Outback GeoMuster (QOGM) 2023 Longreach Adventure Day 1. Well the trip was finally here. I have never been to a QOGM before, and since this was the last one I decided to head up there for the fun. albida and I jumped into the ready-to-go Geomobile with the caravan hitched around 8.30am and headed off on our adventure. After Forbes and lunch we continued north to Narromine to grab this one - the only one in the series albida was missing. Quick find once at GZ (we took the scenic route to GZ). Signed the log, usually as F65 A33, replaced the cache as found, then we continued on our journey.Thanks wilyam2003 !!
QOGM 2023 Longreach Day 1. Canberra to Warren (near) via Forbes, Parkes & Narromine. The time has arrived and Fitzy_1965 and Albida33 headed off on the trip for early spring to Longreach. It was not a really early start, but we were under way at 8.30am. We did not do any caching until we reached Forbes, but from then we stopped at the few caches we had left to get along the way, targeting some older caches and some special types. Only one DNF along the way. We reached our roadside rest area just on dusk and set up and cooked dinner. A great first day with just over 500kms covered.
When we eventually made it around to the location of this cache, it explains why it is the only one I have not found in this series. Today we were able to get there and make the find.
Thanks for the cache wilyam2003

Stayed at Dubbo NSW for the Australian Deaf Caravan & Camping Group for 10 days with silence49, The weather is so warm and sometimes showers or rain and humid but searched and read the comment oh no got it 17m away and Finding your cache wilyam2003, thank you so much for placing it.
This had me hunting for a while but eventually found it 14m away from indicated gz tftc wilyam2003
15 SE of coords. Didn't stump us on this frosty morning. Thought we would cycle the quiet backroad but locals use it as a rat run. Take care if early in day.
Found it
About 15 m out. Replaced the container as muggles had scattered everything out

# 7476 In Dubbo for the weekend with iPlod65, this time being shown around the town's geocaches. Lovely spring-like conditions which makes a nice change from Canberra.
Thanks wilyam2003
Thanks wilyam2003
This was a quick find. We are visiting Shufflehop in Dubbo and we decided on a days caching around Narromine. Good spot for a cache.
TFTC. We are camped at Eumungerie as we make our way to the MEGA in Dayboro. The rain has stopped out direct progress with flood waters. We decided that we would stay another day and revamp our route north. muff1, who are camped next to us, insisted us for a day of caching in the Naromine area. We jumped at the opportunity. A great day out with good friends. We collected 16 smilies and a couple of DNFs for the day.
As others have noted we found the cache in a logical place about 15 metres from the posted GZ

9908 Located by baby&Mrs gopher in the rain at 1210. The rain is making caching very interesting for us today.The Mrs went to the nearest looking location to put her hand in and grabbed a frog. The container was found 18 meters from gz, SL Tnx wilyam2003
Last day of our roadtrip. Today we make our way back to Canberra from Narromine via Forbes and Yass. Again a very hot day. Still picked up lots of caches. Thanks to all the owners for placing them!

Found on our way across to Coonabarabran and Baradine for a few days. Early morning search after staying in Narromine for the night and before continuing our journey. Thanks for the cache wilyam2003!
Found it
Thank you for the great hide.
Co ords off but don't worry just look in obvious spot !
Thanks again

Coords a little off, but found it after looking. Agree with previous comment it's about 19m away
Another 'un-loved' cache, i.e. not found in over six months. We really had to search thoroughly for this one, and also checking some older logs. When we finally found the cache, it was 19 meters off the published coordinates. That was also why looking in 'the logical hiding place' was right to do, but in a different place than expected.
The cache was found very quickly in the obvious place. A quick signing of the log was in order before the cache container was put back and we were soon on our way to continue the hunt for the listed caches for the day. Thank you for an interesting series of caches around the Narromine area and thank you wilyam2003 for giving geocachers so much fun.
Out for a early morning cache around Narromine. I parked on the Mitchell Hwy and did a sneaky run down to the cache. A quick find. TFTC.
Stopped off trying to catch up on some I never called at on our trip north. Easy find

Off the beaten track,
where nobody goes,
four cars drove past,
as I looked for a cache [:o]
So some people do go out this way.
But only to annoy cachers trying not to be noticed
Cache found, I retreated back to towne where my caching antics might go less noticed by the crowds
