Freddo and Team Waldron headed to warmer climes around Broken Hill, Cobar, Bourke, Cunnamullaand Charleville.After a cold start in Broken Hill the weather improved once we got further north. Sadly our last night in Broken was wet which, pardon the pun, put a dampener on things.All up it was a great week away and lots of caches were found with only 3 dnfs.Thanks to all who placed and maintained their caches. The occasional cache was damaged and we refurbished it and we also left new logbooks as required.We spoke to the cache owner before we left Adelaide and said we'd pick up all archived caches to reduce geo-litter.TFTC

Well done on putting these caches in safe parking areas. Not all CO's do that, and this is an enjoyable series. A quick find in a likely location but this one requires maintenance. Tftc

This cache is one of numerous caches that I found on my trip from Cobar to Charleville. I found most of the caches were either too small (the area lends itself to much larger cahes than nanos, bison tubes and mint tins), the coordinates were out, or there was no real reason to have a cache there except to boost numbers. Which is a pity because the area is full of history and magnificent views and wonderful spots that geocaching could bring people.

I have this cache on my list of finds, so my name is in the log book, but I don't remember actually finding the cache.

I did however have an amazing drive, full of scenery. Just a pity about the caches.

Day 3 of a 4 day road trip. Today was Broken Hill to Cobar. Before turning in for the night I spent an hour finding as many of this trail as I could. Cache easily found. TFTC.

Tried to write on the log but it was saturated and tearing.

Thanks for creating this series of caches in beautiful outback countryside. Loving the drive. TFTC

We pondered whether it would be too hot to attack this series but with an overcast sky we thought we would give it a shot. Working northwards this was our first find.

Thanks honeysucker for the series placement.

On our road trip and with thanx to the wife, she was the driver, while I jumped out and found all the caches in this PT. Some were easy, some were hard and some had us parking off the road away from the road trains and trucks. All in all, good trail. TFTC.

Cache lid broken and upside down. Log ok but will get wet.
 
04-Oct-21
A nice morning to get out and explore the powertrail along Kidman Way. Highlights of today’s caching run were the ever-present wildflowers, a blue tongued lizard that stopped for a photo shoot, and iconic Aussie outback scenery

Easy find ‘tho the lid is broken Smile

#11890 - 11:48:00 AM; After spending the night in Lake Cargelligo, day two of a mission through the Central West of New South Wales with Sol de lune to grab some of the dragonZones and counties to our west continues. Today's travels took us from Lake Cargelligo past Murrin Bridge, into Cobar, Bourke, Brewarrina, Walgett and on to Carinda to overnight. We collected finds in Lachlan, Cobar, Brewarrina and Walgett dragonZones and counties along the way. After collecting a few caches on the way to and through Cobar, we stopped for a bite to eat before making a start on this series. Time was against us collecting everything, but we foundall of theb caches we stopped for. A couple are showing the effects of the weather, but managed to add our names to all of the logs.

Out on a road trip with LuckyL10n to grab a few LGA's in outback NSW that we still had to visit including Bland, Carrathool, Lachlan, Cobar, Brewarrina, Walgett, Coonamble as well as grabbing a few caches in previously visited zones.

We found about 20 in this particular series before our time ran out and it we had to head of. No doubt we'll be back this way again sometime.

Thanks for series....

Another early start from Broken Hill for our caching trip with Wilbert67.
Trip so far has been quiet good except the COVID-19 that made us do a trip diversion.
Now travelling to Cobar and picking up caches along the way.
Thanks to all the COs for the placements of their hides.
Glad for a quick find in the 40+ heat.

After a very hectic day we managed to escape SA, Ending up in Wentworth way after midnight. This morning on day 6 of our road trip it was re planning time, no caches for hundreds of kilometers either way. So we ended up heading to Broken Hill and Silverton. Great caching day, but again very hot!

West New South Wales trip 2020. Day 2. I was joined by MinnieK and Fitzy_1965 for a trip planned to go from Goulburn to Forbes, Nyngen, Cobar, Broken Hill, Wentworth and Balranald. After a sleep in we left our overnight stop at Warren and headed to Cobar via Nyngen. There were a few caches along the way, but most of the action was the Australian Towns series North of Cobar, and a great selection of local caches. The two Earth caches were the highlight.

We headed out of town for the AT series next, all but one was a smooth find.

Thanks for the cache honeysucker

TFTC ,


Here is a blurb about us
We are trying to get a badge ,the author ,from project GC for writing found log files of 100 words or more. Once we get this badge we will stop writing this. We are also trying to get badges for adding photos to our found logs .
We started caching in December 2019 and by January 2020 we were hooked. As we are on the road full-time, living in a caravan for almost 2 years now, caching fits in well with this lifestyle. It is taking us to places that we would normally not have gone. When we move to a new place we also look at what caches are in the area and how many days we will need to be there in order to get the caches we want.

We are in Cobar for a few days and will try to get some caches in town and surrounding areas. We hope we can make a few smilies here to add to our find tally. We are looking forward to the variety of hides we will encounter. Thank you for your work in placement and ongoing effort for maintenance of caches.

Trackables that are with us are

*Worldwide traveller
*Nomads esu
*Bushie love
*Morepork
*Signal tag
*Miss jen
*Geocaching road trip 2015
*1500
*signal the surfing Aussie


Will be dropping a few of these when we find a cache that is big enough.

Our own personal Trackable " Cache the World " has the code #1WDM83
Its mission is to be discovered by cachers all around the world, please feel free to discover it and mention where you saw its code.

Once again thanks for the cache.

Found during a road trip from Adelaide via Broken Hill, Cobar, Bourke, Walgett, Glen Innes, Tenterfield and Lismore to Brisbane. The Aussie Towns series was the target series for the trip having been on the radar ever since it came out, and I'm very happy that all caches were found while travelling through the area from Cobar to Bourke! Thanks for the cache and series honeysucker and farmer--brown!

TFTC. We camped in Cobar for the night,. As it was still early we decided to head back up the highway towards Bourke to attempt the caches in the AT series. We have been on the road for the last 7 years and have travelled through or visited most of the towns on this series. Interesting reading the description. Most in this series were in good our order and at the listed GZ. A couple were closer to the road than indicated due to some fence clearing.. All findable, though. Just need to look a bit further afield.

Day 2 of our journey to QOGM in Blackall, Qld.

Another great day with Pa as my chauffeur. Staying in Cobar again in order to get lots more smilies after attending the inaugural QOGM (Queensland Outback Geo Muster) in Barcaldine. All the caches were found, some faster than others, some in better condition than others and some closer to their GZ than others.
A huge thanks to the COs, their maintenance providers and the other cachers who provide maintenance eg Maccamob, Cybergran V and Felix. Apologies to all those not named.
All logs were returned to their hidey holes after my name had been added to the log, although sometimes it was SG if that was more appropriate.
 
05-Oct-18
Found today on our way south from QOGM at Barcaldine, signed log and replaced. Thanks to honeysucker. Many of this series needs some maintenance, it's great to see that someone has put some replaced the logs and containers out. The area needs a CITO badly, shame we didn't have time to clean it up.

TFTC,
Today was an easy drive from the Queensland border to Cobar and collecting a few caches. After leaving the van at a Caravan Park it was time to head out and get a few more of the Power trail caches. Still need to do about 20 tomorrow to complete the series.
Visited trackables.

Found by Mary & David at 1702. Yes, of course, heading to Cobar we are on the wrong side of the road for these caches. We'll have to complete the ones we skipped during the heavy rain on another day. A very nice little group of stories. Our thanks to honeysucker.

Traveling home via Snowtown, Broken Hill, Cobar, Dubbo, Forbes, West Wyalong &Temora, finding a good variety of cache types and hides. I visited some interesting historical towns and bush locations, which made the round trip well worth the drive.

I did as much maintenance as I could, replacing damaged containers and full or wet logs.
Signed and replaced.

This is another town that we have driven through without really stopping to take much notice of and we definitely don't remember seeing any lizards there.

We have found quite a few different towns series since we began Geocaching and we always enjoy knowing if we have been to the town or not and it's another interesting way to put out a small power trail that can be added to by others to keep the series growing. For the person caring for these caches we hope that it doesn't grow like the Wandering Heroes has.
We were lucky enough to find all in this series with no DNF's and also happy to say that we know each of the teams that have added to the series and had a bit of a laugh that all were originally Victorian cachers.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find

I'm a couple of days late logging these ones
Returned to Cobar due to my travelling plans being changed due to road closures in the west
Australian Towns was a great series to do and I think that there is only one or two towns that I haven't been to
Parked close by even with the caravan behind me Coords were spot on and an easy find
This was the last one of the AT series coming in to Cobar from the north and I gave a favourite point to the whole series
Thanks suckerfarmer for placing this great series and thanks Farmer--brown for maintaining it
Series like this makes the travelling so much more enjoyable so TFTC TFTATS
 
We had an overnight stop in Cobar on our rush trip home to WA. We decided to be up early and disconnect from the caravan and attempt all of the Australian Town Caches. Happy to say we found the whole series.

Our prime task for this afternoon was to look for caches in the Aussie Towns series. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of this well cammoed cache.

After leaving dubbo at lunch time, we made it to cobar in time to have a crack at this power trail with team lewin, towards the end we started logging the caches as AB & TL in order to beat the sun going down. All up it took just under 2 hours from cobar and back to cobar. Thanks for this series and thanks for the adventure. This would have to be one of my favorite power trails so far, the caches were all different and there was plenty of space to pull off and park.
