Well that was creepy, but pretty cool also, out geocaching for the day in the Upper Hunter with Kaz444 and finding some amazing caches. A favourite for this one.
Heading home after a great day of caching with Gaynor56. Yes I jumped a bit when I found this one. TFTC
We knew where we had to look but certainly got a surprise when we camo was removed! TFTC.
Found it. Clever and creepy. I read the logs and got a few hints so knew where to search first. Great cache to find on our way home from a weekend in Gunnedah. TFTC
On our way home from Gunnedah, we stopped at Muswellbrook for a coffee break. This one appealed to us with all the FPs, so we pulled over and headed up the path.C8 took note of the hint and logs, and it was CIH on the second go. A very clever hide. Out of sight, but out of mind to geocachers. Have another FP. TFTC
The burnt out car was a distraction on the way to GZ Nicely done on the hide, and happy to say I had read a few logs and was prepared. Still didnt want to touch it TFTC RD Dropping off a **FAVE.**
This one is cool.. scared the crap out of the kids at the start.. Lots of trinkets to swap
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Making our way to Broken Hill for Mundi Mundi Bash. Staying a couple of days in Muswellbrook, today we headed out to find a couple of caches in the freezing wind.We found your cache today. TFTC Rock_Dok
Thanks, still holding up well, in a good spot.Could use a new pen if any future seekers are reading this.
I found the cool container in the creepy hide, and now Im happy to post my find, thanks.
Not this one, must be the other one. Great, thats all i needed after what i found in Camoed Minion earlier. TFTC.
Took me a few minutes to get it but got there in the end. Great spot and cool container, well done! Tftc!
What a fantastic cache!!Took nothing out, put nothing in, just signed the log....thanks
Well this was a clever name for this cache! I searched a few different locations before trying the one that hid the cache. Then I had to overcome a major fear to access the log! Some may prefer to walk from the carpark at highway level than try to drive to GZ.
Found with Peppa.
Down south for the Great Australian Cattle Dog Muster.
Thought we'd grab a couple in the late afternoon.
Nice container

First full day of The Great Cattle Dog Muster, and PirateLinda has finally arrived to join me…
After spending the day watching Championship Shows, cattle & sheep mustering, dog sports & hundreds of dogs there was still time for a couple of caches…
We have a friend in Queensland who would not have coped here…
Thanks Rock_Dok, a good use of the environment…

It was a nice view form here. Can get a nice photo if you put your photo on the pole. Easy find
Found with Crafty Dusty on our trip back to Sydney, this was, indeed scary! More for Crafty D than myself though! TFTC! Fave point from me

Caching with Oddiewan and our improving 4-legged cacher pup, we are on holiday and headed to the Rutherglen mega for Easter weekend.
We were hoping we could pull the whole rig up next to this one but found ourselves on the wrong side of the road. Luckily Muscle Creek road is not a far walk and there was room to park off-road so we could fetch this cache. Something very horrible smelling had been spilled near the gravel pit and the smell lingered on the soles of my shoes until the walk back.
Loved it! Cache was in perfect condition and I had a little giggle when I found the cache.
Thanks for the fun, Rock_Dok

Found by Mary and David at 11:20. Today we drove from Tamworth to Newcastle, doing an Ad Lab along the way, and a few other caches too. The trains in both directions, traffic noises, and the rain added to the bad vibes. You could do a CITO here. Took a couple of minutes to pin it down, but we loved the hide, so a FP. Our thanks to Rock_Dok.
Awesome and creative container! I wish the surroundings were a bit more exciting though )

That was hilarious. Even though I thought I was prepared (from previous comments) I still literally jumped! GPS co ords were out - used the hint to guide me. Excellent cache, thanks!
Found with Shaneo58, we came up targeting 2 specific caches around the Singleton area, and a circuit around Muswellbrook. Getting the news in the morning that we need to be home before 5 o'clock as there is an other lockdown, this means we won't be back for a good while as this is well and truly outside the 5km area from home. Nice little hide.
Cache replaced as found.
**Thanks For The Cache** Rock_Dok.
This is the 11th cache of 14 for today making a grand total of 3289 at 1:18PM on this Thursday the 5th of August in the Year 2021

A nice stop on our journey across the country from Adelaide to Brisbane with Davidwazza! TFTC!
Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I travelled from Merriwa to Tamworth. It was a pretty bad weather day, with continuous showers of light to heavy rain, but we attempted to make the most of the day. We travelled via Denman, and then proceeded north stopping at Muswellbrook for lunch. We then drove through Aberdeen, Scone, Murrundi, Quirindi, Werris Creek, Duri, and Warral, arriving in Tamworth in the later afternoon. Several of NSW's LGAs were visited during our travels today.
This was a targeted geocache due to the high Favourite Points (FPs) awarded, with 21 FPs at the time of this log.
We drove across town to this location, before then turning back and continuing our driving adventure. I had read a few logs and somewhat knew what to expect, however even with finding the clever hiding spot, admittedly I still jumped. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Very well done and a great hiding spot, so a Favourite Point from me! Thanks Rock_Dok for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

I had a short search before I moved to the other side and immediately saw where the cache was located.
But then I had to deal with the eight-legged creature inside!!! Why does everyone think it is funny to put one of these disgusting creatures in a cache....????????????? Obviously, I'm an arachnophobe!!
Anyway, after I had gathered my wits, I did the deed, and all was well.

Found while on a geocaching holiday with tmann421.
Enjoyed the trip around and all the great hides.
Stamped TM/WW NZ, or if in pen our full names
Found the hide but too scared to take the top off.
tmann421 to the rescue, soon had log signed and all back in place

Another day of fun driving / walking around the area with woolwood9.
*More good caches found along the way* **TFTC**
Stamped logs as TM/WW NZ or our full user names or tm421/ww9 in pen.
Took us too long to find - co-ords a bit away but worth the hunt when located.

I hate spiders. Like really hate them. And boy, even though I was warned to watch out for spiders and had an idea of what to expect I still flipped a lid and jumped back. Waited for my hearbeat to settle and proceeded to take in the thought and creativity of it. Took 2 things & left about 5. In my opinion, worth all the favourite points, & here have another one.
Thanks to CO for placing & maintaining this cache. Happy to have added my stamp to the log. All good with log book and cache. Cheers.

They're doing roadwork basically right there so I'm a bit concerned it might be destroyed, but wasn't digging through rubble in the dark
