TFTC. Rogpol. I've heard rumours that this was a Cobb & Co staging post. Can't hear the horses.

Tftc. Easy park and grab.

#4426 A quick find while heading back to Bathurst from Hill End with the Green-martian. Replaced cache as found. Thanks.

Found it. Good spot

Geokid 8 found this with some prompting. Nice easy find, intersection was a tad busy today. Enjoyed looking at the old shack across the road.

#13082 16:30First of two days staying at the beautiful Hill End campground and do some interesting 4WD tracks. Of course there was the odd geocache to be found.With the Bridle Track completed we drove back from Bathurst to Hill End. We made a brief stop at Sofala, and after a refreshing beer, we slowly drove back to Hill End, picking up a few of the many caches.I definitely need to plan to drive the TRLT from Mudgee down South. The landscape is amazing and the backroads make it a very relaxing landscape to drive through.TFTC rogpol

Making 4/4 for today, thanks for the cache

Stayed nearby overnight and grabbing anything along the way.Most hides where found after a short search. Loved the different containers and hides.Found this under a fallen branch but it had been squashed, so replaced with the same container in a more accessible place.Thanks for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

Nice find but unfortunately needs some attention as very water logged

What an interesting bit of history, sorry that it is in such a state. TFTC

Working the Alpha Rd fires, today in a wildlife rescue capacity....can't go past closed Rd sign, so I'm sitting here taking pics if the scenery and wondered...is there a cache nearby?? Thus I found it. Container is broken, log waterlogged

Found
Unable to sign log was wrecked so was the container

80 finds, 5 dnf's on his trail today, starting at Andromeda, and finishing at Sofala with Geoian. Thanks to all the CO's for your efforts. I enjoyed this trail.

Out on the TRLT this fine, hot Saturday. We started at GC617ZY an ended in Sofala, then grabbed some more as we made our way back to Mudgee. Appreciate the efforts of all the CO's who have contributed. We found a total of 80 today. TFTC.

Day 2
With the COVID19 restrictions lifting, we decided to head to the Bathurst area this long weekend on a Geomission with Rapidlywild. Our intention was to attack the TRLT trail and others around the area.
We had a great four days, only a few DNF’s but mostly smiley's, and have left plenty for another adventure. Lovely area to cache in and we look forward to coming back for some more fun and laughs.

Thanks for the hide rogpol and thanks Rapidlywild for another great weekend away.

Apologies for the generic log, thank you to all the cache owners for their efforts.

With COVID19 locking everyone down for so long, a MUCH overdue geocaching mission was welcomed. FurfacesLL #1 and myself decided to head towards Bathurst and attack some of the TRLT caches and see how far we can go. Spoke to a few of the CO's prior to heading up to see if we could assist with any maintenance that was required, so we went prepared with some camo containers and some fresh log books. We had a wonderful weekend stretching the legs and enjoying the country side.

Thanks for the hide rogpol And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others

Day 3 in Mudgee and our last. Today was for picking up the middle sectioon of the TRLT series before moving on to Bathurst. A more enjoyable day as the wind had eased and this section of the road has been graded. A long day as we had to get to Sofala as this will be the end point from Bathurst.

There was signs of a recent flood through the GZ, we searched for about 15 min and then walked away and retried, but same result. There was signs of what could have been the contents of the cache, so we dropped a new container and log and covered with a SPOR.

Quick find using clue as maps put us across the road. Good condition but slightly damp. The old homestead has so much character. We really wanted to explore it but respected the signs. Tftc

Quick find after a lovely weekend in Hill End. Log was wet so put some dry paper in. TFTC

Managed to find this one which I had previously missed. TFTC.

Idling me way to Hill End today,
I was following the Hobbit's Way
So I stopped to find this cache in the 'ring of the TRLT' series,
and was soon whispering ...."My precious" [:o)]

TFTC on TRLT

This was to be the last long geocaching trail for us to undertake during our current travels around Australia, and so mid afternoon yesterday we had started at the top of the trail and kept going until just after sunset. This morning we returned to where we had pulled out of the trail the day before. Yesterday had been cold, windy and wet, but today the sun was out again and it remained dry throughout the day albeit with a very chilly wind. This one was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and now to leave the trail for the day as with the sun having set it is time to find somewhere to sleep the night - but we will be back tomorrow! Greetings from Zimbabwe

Log very wet needs replacing. Found on the way home from an orienteering event at. Hill End. Quick find. TFTC

(Log signed OMF to save space).
TRLT caches: found - 80, DNF - 3.
Other caches found - 35, DNF - 1.
Thanks to rogpol for placing this cache here for us to find.

On a big weekend caching with oldmorty and Frazeydaze and logs have signed OMF. 
Would like to thank all cache owners, for making and maintaining the caches.

OCW frazerdaze and marj01. House sitting at White Rock for a week has provided an opportunity to do some geocaching runs around Bathurst - mainly TRLT series indispersed with a number of trads and puzzle caches. During the day we saw lovely scenery, lots of sheep and cattle, a few foxes and one deer in the forestry area. We even encountered fire persons doing a burn off which included two of the caches we were chasing. Please excuse the generic logs and thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches and adding to our enjoyment. For expediency all logs were signed OMF.

On a geo tour around the area while on holidays. Tftc

Spending a couple of days in Bathurst to fill in some in TRLT series.
Again, most were easy finds today.
Some nice views on this section.
More bitumen and cars than I’ve had on other days.

There has been a fair amount of water go down this drain recently and unfortunately we were unable to find this cache today.

No, I just couldn't find this one.

Lovely old house.

Mudgee trip for The Road Less Traveled series. Day 3. Sofala to Mudgee via Hill End and lots more back roads. The main focus of this trip was more of the TRLT series, so it was good to get back to work on the main goal.

Thanks.

Out with Snoopy1976 this weekend completing some of the TRLT caches. Most were easy finds but some took a little longer to find. TFTC

Streak Day #1682 - We decided that we would get as many as we could done today, so after dinner set off for another smiley. Thanks for placing these caches

We are heading to Bright in Victoria, we dont have to be there til the end of the month. We are caching as we go, wherever it is safe for us to pull up with the van.

We arrived in Sofala this morning unhitched and after lunch went for a drive to Hill End, picking up caches on our return. Storm coming, we had better hurry up! Cute house. Thanks rogpol

Leaving Bathurst we headed for Sofala and did some caching along the way. Luckily we found places to pull of the road with the caravan and once in Sofala we were able to leave the caravan at the waterhole camp near town and cache more freely. This was one of the caches we targetted and found. Thanks to rogpol for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Have finished the family xmas duties and we are now free to cache yipee, so here we come trlt series. These are the sort of caches we love, getti g out and about into the country. Great effort getting this series going and keeping up with maintenance thanks to all the COs. Windy popular road this one. Hard work farming this country with the rolling hills, we watched young lass stranded on motorbike way across paddocks, think she was in for a walk home. Tftc

Headed up with nissan 65 for another few days caching. Today we are heading towards Sofala and MudgeeThanks for the cache .

On our way home from Mudgee to Sydney with AWTYOW, Geogangstars and Brizzle11 - this is a great caching trail! TFTC

With AWTYOW, Geogangstas and Gabstar. We decided to make the trip back to Sydney more fun (and longer) by taking in another section of the road less travelled. Great fun caching through the countryside here! TFTC

The junior geo-gangsta was on a roll and found this one too. What a cute little shack nearby. TFTC

Good quick find driving home after orienteering at hill end. Tftc

Logbook is full.

Found as part of a weekend away with Hoojar. We headed up towards Gulgong the first night and camped near the start/ end of TRLT (@ -5 degrees ). The next day we made it through some nice historic places and great rolling countryside to finish up at Sunny Corner after a feed in Bathurst. The next day a few more finds before we headed home. Plenty of roadkill spotted, not many cars and not too much trouble at each cache. Thanks to all those cache hiders .

The opportunity finally arose that Steeba and I both had a free weekend to go caching. We quickly settled upon the northern half of The Road Less Traveled series. We drove to Gulgong via Mudgee after work on Friday, camping just before midnight at the suggested TSR nearby.

Saturday we made our way via the caching trail, and the odd additional cache, to Bathurst for dinner, then back onto the trail to Sunny Corner where we again camped for the evening.

Sunday we turned our heads for home, via a few additional cache stops in Portland and Wallerawang.

A fantastic weekend away, with excellent country to be seen and company to be had. We enjoyed the caches that we found.

Thank you to all of the cache owners, and sorry for the boiler-plate logs!

Cheers

14117. Found during a run through the Bathurst to Mudgee region this long weekend.

Having completed the southern part of TRLT series last month I had the northern part of the series on my radar for this long weekend - plus as many extras as there are along the way. Leaving home this morning I was caching before lunch on the outskirts of Bathurst heading north. All but two of today's caches were found and all were nicely hidden with good sized containers. This was the next find for the day. Quick find at GZ. Log signed, cache replaced, and I headed off to the next one.

Thanks to all the COs for their caches - it was a great run up through this area.

TNLN - TFTC !!

At the cross road, on this wonderful caching afternoon. Thank you for the cache! : )

Road trip North to tackle The Road Less Travelled Series with JordsAU! I’ve wanted to try this trail for a while but hadn’t found anyone to try it with. I ran it by Jords a few weeks back & after checking the roster for the week, the stars aligned and we started organising it. He was aiming for “200 caches in a day”, so we planned the trail as best we could!

Monday – we drove up to Gulgong to start the trail. We worked our way down to Mudgee (~30 caches) before setting up camp for the night. We had an early night so we could smash out a big day.

Tuesday – packing up at sunrise and setting out, the big day begun! We reached the first 100 by 2:00pm (7 hours elapsed). We were worried that we weren’t going to reach the 200 milestone considered how far we had to go and how long we had been tracking! The stretch from the Great Western Highway to Oberon made great time and we were on 150 caches. Instead of heading into Oberon to set up camp in daylight, we decided the best use of the remaining daylight would be to push through into the night for the last 50. Eventually we were down to the last handful, when we hit an area of the forest that had been logged. To make up the last few, we assumed there would be caches in Oberon, so we drove 50km back to town. We made the 200 at the Oberon Memorial Site and called it a (long) day.

Wednesday – I was all ran down from the big day, so we made our way back home! I found a few in Sydney, and made the drive back down home. It was a good to unpack and have a nice hot shower. Now for the long laborious task of entering these logs!

Thank you to all the Cache Owners along this trail. It was a real joy to visit another part of this great country we call home. It’ll be easier for me to return to the trail via Goulburn/Crookwell to finish off the series (and hopefully visit any further extensions). TFTC’s!

2/5/17 Found with muppet95. Muppet95 mentioned to me that he was keen to hit up The Road Less Travelled series and we decided to take a few days off to go on a bit of a road trip. I wanted to shoot for a goal of finding at least 200 caches in a 24 hours period and we made plans accordingly. We drove up to Gulgong on the first day and arrived in the early afternoon. We started The Road Less Travelled series there and headed south towards Mudgee, picking up approximately 30 geocaches on the way. We spent the night camping on the outskirts of Mudgee and had an early night, with the expectation of an early start to have the best chance of reaching our goal of 200 caches the next day. At the crack of dawn on day 2, we packed up camp and set out on the trail, finding our first for the day at 7 AM. We then spent the next 14 hours travelling The Road Less Travelled, caching the series and picking up some additional caches along the way. We powered on well after the light of day had disappeared, because we were on a mission and were resolute in our efforts to achieve our goal for the day. We reached a point, down near Gurnang in the pine forest, where the area a cache in the series was supposed to be had been logged and we could not continue, without backtracking and going the long way around. We made the decision to turn around and head back to Oberon, where we would pick up the last remaining few to reach our target number. I am very sad to say that on the way out of the pine forest, a wombat ran out as we were driving past and was struck by the underside of the car. We stopped immediately and I rushed over to its aid. The poor thing was in not in a good way and I did what I could to provide some comfort but it faded away within a matter of minutes. The accident is very distressing and upsetting, and it put a real dampener on a long and tiring day. There was nothing we could do at that point, so we continued on our way back to Oberon, picking up some more caches in town. We reached our campsite and setup, keen to rest up and have a deserved sleep in. It was another cold night, definitely dropping below zero degrees. We woke in the morning and, after packing up, we made our way back to the big smoke. Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners, and for putting this series together, which takes us on a different route along the Road Less Travelled. We will have to come back at another point in the future to try and finish off the series, and hope that one day the series may be extended further for everyone’s enjoyment.

A day out picking up some more of the caches along TRLT and others that were nearby.
Lots of nice views along the dusty and rough roads.

Found with Brewmaker while on a two day adventure finding caches in The Road Less Travelled trail series and other nearby ones.
We started at Meadow Flat and then headed north (having previously headed south on another adventure) through Sunny Corner and Palmers Oakey before camping overnight at Wattle Flat. Then it was on to Sofala Sally's Flat, Pyramul and heading north towards Mudgee before we ran out of time. Will have to come back to finish the series. Most caches were easy to find and it was a very enjoyable drive along these country roads some beautiful scenery, historic places, native animals etc.

Found with MikeV1 on Day Two of our adventure out west. Great old homestead nearby.

Over two days we managed to grab 100 finds while attempting part of TRLT series. We started at Meadow Flat and headed north passing through Sunny Corner, Dark Corner, Palmer's Oakey, Mt Horrible, Turon, Wattle Flat, Crudine, Sally's Flat, Sofala, Pyramul and Aaron's Pass, before detouring to Mudgee to refuel and then head back to Sydney. We had a great time taking the Brewmobile along these rarely used country roads, seeing some amazing scenery, old homesteads, cemeteries, plenty of wildlife and natural landforms along the way. Most of the hides were easy to find with good coords and hints. Thanks to all the COs for the time & effort that has gone onto placing these hides.

Day 2 of 23 of our caching trip to Alice Springs, finding 300 caches in total. This was find #20 for the day.

We did The Road Less Travelled with Calypso62 and skebomonkeytown, staying at a lovely property in the Capertee Valley for two nights.

Another sadly neglected bit of history to admire.

Day 2 of our fabulous adventure with Skyebomonkeytown and Team Canary.
After enjoying a delicious dinner at the Capertee pub last night and staying over at my mate’s place in the valley, we commuted back to The Road Less Travelled to continue the journey. It is obvious this series took a lot of effort to organise and to get it up and running. A big thank you to all the COs for your hard work. It is greatly appreciated.

Had a great weekend with Calypso62 and Team Canary attempting the first half of TRLT (most logs signed as a combo of C62 TC and SBMT). We stayed at a friend's place in the Capertee Valley and "commuted" both days through the lovely countryside. We also incorporated the Mudgee parkrun into our weekend on Saturday morning - C62 and my first. Thanks to all COs for the series.

What a nice old building. I bet if those walls could talk they'd sure tell a good yarn or two!
