c'est la vie

You guys like making us work for your caches. Must give you great satisfaction I have always wanted to do this walk, if I had have researched location that's what I would have done, save myself walking up, oh well good exercise. Mossie looks so different from this view point for the not you can see. An appropriate name for the cache. I soon had CIH and SL. Haa haa love the cache cute little micro. Thanks for bringing us here.

Dropped in on our little mate and replaced log sheet.
Happy Days....

Tftc great little hide found it with the Turriff's and the geograndkids.

TFTC. Took us a bit to find this one. But found the sneaky sucker peeking out. Log is getting full on will need to be replaced soon. Found on a day out caching with Dougal1950.

Lovely walk down to this one.
With the amount of favourites we knew we were looking for something different and we were rewarded. Cute

Out and about with the Geo Missus. This one had us baffled for a while. We were ready to walk off and try another spot when I just glimplsed it. Very cute and the name suits it well.

Geo hubby was eager to get out and do a bit of geocaching. He started geocaching a little after I got into it and is now on the catch up. We decided to do a few in Moss Vale. Well this one had us a bit stumped and we were nearly ready to give it in as the humidity felt it was 99.9%. We gave it one last glance over and geo hubby saw it peeking out. Very unusual cache. Great find. Thanks.

Coming out to Wollongong from Canberra for a mini two day trip finding geocaches along the way

Only had time for 1 cache on the way through, so picked this one as it was the closest!
Note to other finders: Approach from the nearest street, there is a gap in the fence and its a very short walk!

Cute little find, it was my mums favourite so therefore it will get one of my points TFTC

Should have trusted my gps with its original suggested parking and less than 140m. Would have saved over 600m (return) but wasn’t sure if a fence would have been in the way so I reverted to the description. As it was, the stroll along the pathway was easy, even if I was slightly concerned when the concrete section ended at a locked gate. Luckily arrow was pointing elsewhere where terrain changed slightly and past where I should/could have started. Cute camo though not what I was expecting from the name. Get it now (I think) [^]

[Green]Found on our 27 day camping holiday through NSW, VIC and TAS, through places like Melbourne, Hobart and some smaller country towns. This was found on Day 4.

[Brown] A quick find. Nice container, something a little bit different. Tried to be quick with this one, as we where getting harassed by the flies, before dodging a python that decided while we were walking back down would be a good time to go across. Thanks J+J.au

Too funny TFTC J+J.au

Found en route from Canberra to Kangaroo Valley. I was aiming for lunch in MossVale but got distracted. At first the GPS was just in the "navigate to" mode and took me to an unlikely starting point (although I later discovered it would have worked fine I was still hesitant to start from there). After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing the hunger pangs were increasing and I was about to just bail but as I went to leave the area I found the perfect way in. What a great spot and also what a great hide! I thought I knew what I was looking for but I wasn't expecting it to be quite like that. Nice one.

Interesting walk to an unusual cache. Lovely area

Last day at a Scout Camp in Moss Vale, last day to sneak out and grab a nearby cache. Clever one.

Cheers

Nice easy find. Very interesting container protector.
Came down this way to attend the South Coast & Tablelands Scout Jamborette held at the showground.
Found with new to Caching / Scouting friend Hagrid.
TFTC.

Nice hide, well thought out for the area.
I smiled when I saw it.
Dry here today and find did not take too long.

Made our way to cache slow & steady, through some boggy. ground, but we found our prize & returned to car with geokid 5 covered in mud (he slipped). Thanks for this cute cache J+ J.au xo

In the area for weekend for a wedding. Never let a chance go by for a sneaky tourist cache. Have six finds so far as we walk around and each of them has shown a lovely level of thought and effort. This was another nice container. TNLN TFTC

I was actually disappointed with this one
It was out in the open.... It was cool though XD I actually thought it was real
Don't worry. I put it back tftc

On a day before a weekends diving at Jervis Bay, I decided to head down slowly grabbing a variety of caches along the way. A short walk and a real challenge at GZ, but I was happy to work this one out and make the find.

Thanks.

Ok this one was a little deceptive, but nabbed in the end with Fitzy_65 on a splendid cache safari of the area.

Thanks again J+J.au

9764 + 1102 = 10866. Found on a run through this region with ZZ7 today.

After missing this part of a planned caching run two weeks ago, ZZ7 and I decided to take advantage of another mostly fine day to cache around the Moss Vale/Bowral/Robertson region. After leaving a freezing Canberra behind early this morning, this was the next stop for the day. Took a bit to work out our approach for this one. Once at GZ we groaned at what could have been - but ZZ7 quickly came up with the find. Signed, returned and we were off to the next one.

Thanks again J+J.au ! Another of several finds on your caches today !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Good hide!

This was to be the last cache of the day for TaurusSix and I. Found the cache easy enough. Then found the flat bit at the bottom of our tyre as we departed. Hung around just long enough to change it.

really like this one what a great cache fav point add

Sneaky hide, but a good one TFTC

Found with ease........this time. After a few hints.
Great little cache in good condition and happy. Me too! TFTC J & J enjoyed finding it.

Our last find for the day before heading home. Very cleaver indeed - now know the meaning of the cache name, thanks.

Clever little cache which was located after a short search. Thought that this was my last cache to log in Mossvale but have just noticed the new Multi.
SL. TFTC. # 1827

Needing to catch up on some Moss Vale caches decided to head out with geobrother danbest1130 found after a quick search and matching with the hint after looking on the fence for a bit geobrother thought had to jump the fence but i quickly stopped him and explained the rules Thanks J+j.au

An afternoon out with my bestie very cute cache tftc

TFTC. great location and hide.

1 day before favourite band concert in Canberra and Wollongong the following day. Thought I better rest easy to compensate for a wicked 3 days... but no! I had to burn some energy, regardless of the poor weather. Squirming around until 11:00 before I got out of the house with younger brother. Braved the overcast, light showers and muddy earth.

Trip through Moss Vale, Werai, Exeter, Bundanoon, Penrose, Wingello, Tallong and Marulan.

---END OF COPIED SECTION---


Nice cache/camo, loved the texture and flexibility of this one.
Cool!! TFTC

Too tough for me today. If its not a rock and not on the fence as the clues say, there seems to be nowhere else it could be - unless we are completely in the wrong place. Certainly, the landscape at the GPS co-ordinates looks nothing like the picture.

1st of 2 finds while in town for a couple of hours....

Headed up the wrong street to start with so headed back, and then noticed the parking spot. Doubled back around, parked and set off across the oval. I'm guessing the Dragons are a league team, but with no goal posts on the oval, wasn't sure.

Continued walking and once at GZ, a quick search and the cache was hand. Log signed and all was good.

Thanks guys.....neat one.

I picked up a few finds across the highlands on my way back from Goulburn. This was one. TFTC

Walked up the hill for an easy find. Getting warm today.

Left the girls in the car with the air con whilst Mr H & Mr TW put in the hard yards and slogged up the hill in the heat of the day. Nice camo.
Cheers,

My second find today. I had first intended to find the Boxvale Descent, but took too long to get up and didn't have the time.
So instead I would find some of the easier caches in the area.
I wasn't expecting this though. Cute little fellow.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it and this is a good one.TFTC

No more rain, just sunshine and a weekend in front us. Decided to camp at Gambells Rest and have camping weekend in the Southern Highlands. Walked in from Jamed Taunton Drive and found the cache safe and sound

#2106 cool hide, thanks

#216 found with TeamBuxton, thanks

Found it Jennifer55 with GG

The weekend had arrived! So this meant another geomission with Rapidlywild gallivanting around the Southern Highlands again Certainly was a weekend of quality caching!

We were on our way back to the Can so decided to take the back road to the scenic route back to highway and to collect a few caches along the way

This one was next on our radar, so after parking the car up the top, we made the stroll down the walkway to GZ. As we were approaching I said "I bet its a ...." judging by the features present at the location. RW then informed me "Nope. Not a ....!" Lol well ok then back to the drawing board for me then on what the hide might be. Then after a few seconds RW spied something and went in for the retrieval...hahaha! COOL! Certainly wasn't expecting that! lol

Thanks for yet another cool hide, J+J.au-another favourite point awarded!

Well, it was time for another specimenX and Rapidlywild adventure, definately overdue and looking forward to a good weekend We had cleaned up some "straggler" caches we had along the highway and made our way to the hotel and checked in. We lasted about 15 minutes at the hotel and we were back on the road. Its caching time

We had decided to hit the Mario series as we had spoken to the CO at an event in Canberra a few months back and he advised us of this new series. We just had to come out and grab it, and we are VERY glad we did We had finished the Mario Series and were now collecting some newer caches in the area.

Time to start making our way back towards Canberra however we decided to take the trip through Moss Vale, Exeter and Wingello. This way we can get the stragler caches within that area and avoid the highway for a little while

We parked in a nearby street and strolled down towards the GZ. Once in position the hide didnt take too long to reveal itself. HAHA very cute container, absolutely love it

Logging duties performed and we were on our way again. Moss Vale is now full of smilies

Thanks for another great cache J+J.au

Found with Pacmania. Went the long way, but the short way on the way back.

Thanks

Parked in a side street, and followed the path (interesting that the path is still locked off - what is all that about?). Once on the grass followed the walkway to GZ. Cache found fairly quickly due to accurate coordinates. Nice container - I wish I could have used one of these for my recent cache. Found a short cut back to the car on the return which was good.

Thanks

Paid more attention to Maggy this time & it had me come in from above, something it tried last time but couldn't convince me it wasn't a vacant lot. Co-ords spot on & soon made the find which was reminiscent of something I've seen in another geocaching world. Thanks.

Loved it - it make me big smile.... Signed the log. Thanks J+J.au.

Easy find and a cautious retrieval by geokid.

A nice spot I had not been before and a good little cache. TFTC

Not knowing the area we ended up taking an unorthodox route to the cache which had us parked about 100 mts away. Made friends with some sheep along the way, crossed a few fences and eventually located the cute container. Thanks J+J.au

In amongst a brief burst of sunshine and in between the rain we took the geokids for a walk to hunt this cache. The eldest geoson took control and the geogirl found the container. With some amazed little faces at the sight of the cache we accomplished this one for today. Great effort, Thanks.

FINALLY (we get around to log this cache) Only 4months late!

We were up in the highlands celebrating a family members birthday and the youngest GeoSon, Poppy and Geo hubby and I went in search of a couple of caches. This one was close. A rugby game was in full swing when we arrived close to GZ. After a short walk and a short search the cache keeper was soon in hand.

Geo Son loved the cache keeper, one of his favourates! GeoSon gives this one a favourite!

TFTC!

On my way to give the new car a decent testdrive. Saw a few recently placed caches in the canyonleigh area, so picked this one up on the way. I was lucky to quickly find a suitable entry point and only had to walk 100 meters. Love the detail in the container.

Found this on a somewhat sunny cool day. There are a few ways into the walkway. I took the Highway, perhaps the longest way.
This walkway was named after James Patrick Corbett. President and member of the Moss Vale Progress and Commerce Association for many years, prior to his death in the USA. mid nineties.
He was my Boss for nearly 30 years as Manager/director of Whytes Pty Ltd Moss Vale.
This was a nice tricky hide. Fav point from us.
Thanks J+J.au for the hide

Couldn't find the pathway let alone the cache. Another time perhaps after a bit of research.

Published

I'm supposed to be waiting for blank days in my calendar this year but an FTF is too tempting to resist. I was shopping in Bowral with the GeoKiddies when I noticed this one had been published not very far away. To the GeoMobile! I possibly did this the not-easiest way as it involved quite a power-walk up a grassy slope, but soon enough we were at GZ for a quick find and a blank log, for FTF #25. Cute container! TFTC.
