Still a great viewDamn the tiger pearsTFTC

Quick find avoided the prickles unlike last cache which left me with 5 puncture holes! TFTC

Apologies for the late log to the CO, found with Its_Dozzie,Everest High, Brewmaker, Team Canary, &ziggiau exploring an amazing area. Out finding joshwa27 hides was fun, great company and the weather turned out great too.

#13853 Three days on the road from Sydney to Mudgee, with the main objective of finding and logging the TRLT-North. It was an enjoyable drive, across dirt roads and some beautiful scenery. Day 1 we camped overnight at Hill End and day 2 we pitched out tent in Mudgee. The caches were easily found so the focus was fully on the journey through our Mid Western region of NSW.TFTC to all cache owners for maintaining this great series.

Find # 10061Nice quick find.Not found in the "usual" location. TFTC rogpol 29 December 2023 12:19

Heading towards Sydney but stayed nearby overnight and grabbing a few along the way.Most hides where found after a short search. Loved the different containers and hides. Found this after expanding the search to nearby rocks.Thanks for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

Full log to follow

A quick find here today, with a safe area to park, thanks.

A little bit off from the coordinates- just a few metres. Needless to say it rocked!

On our weeks holiday in Mudgee we have been drinking too much of the local product. Although there is a purity to wines you buy from the cellar door. You can easily get stuck into a few bottles at night and wake up feeling like gold.

Do the same thing with a couple of crud bottles from the bottle shop and you better make sure you have a kilo of aspirin for the next morning. tftc

Another quick find thanks

A quick stop and grab with great views. TFTC

Found on a day when the sun came out! An easy find.

About to give up after a long search and GLISS! got it! Woo hoo!

Back out this way again today to check out a few more caches. It has be a wonderfully busy weekend in the Bathurst Region as we pushed ourselves to get 25 different D/Ts in a day. The things we will do for a challenge cache!! Thanks for the cache.

Found with Nibletricecakes. This search took quite a bit of time. Eventually found about 7m away from co-ords. Goats were spotted scampering away into the bush as we arrived. TFTC

Tftc rogpol, another nice view. Thanks for bringing us here

Easy grab

Found it

Headed to Hill End for camping during the October long weekend. Of course, some caches were to be found. This was one of them.

Found

Nearly gave up. I really suck at this!!!

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 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.

Finally found it as GPS bounced around, still 10m off

Another great day on our one-year tripp around Australia. We love to travel in this country and we love to look for geocaches. This geocache has again shown us a place that we might not have visited without geocache.
Thank you for the geocache !
Greetings from Switzerland.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

#3457 A quick find in the obvious spot. Meeting some mates in Bathurst. From Canberra. TFTC.

A good spot to stop,
so out I hopped
First thing I noticed was a piece of the dreaded 'tiger pear' [:o]
Painful memories of a couple of encounters were rewound in me mind [:o)]

In one incident I stood on the end of a rope of pears,
and with me next step a couple of pieces of the 'tiger pear' were sling-shotted into the back of me calf and me behind
That stopped me in me tracks for a few minutes as the offending bits were extracted

Lucky for me the pears here are still small,
and the cache was found without any prickly moments [^]

TFTC and reminding me about the nasty stuff !!

This was our third day of searching for caches on this trail, having started late in the afternoon two days again. The first afternoon the weather had been cold and wet, and yesterday dry but very chilly. Today the weather was perfect - beautiful sunshine, warmer and only a gentle breeze. The scenery was simply stunning along the roads the series took us along and so once again we had another great day out geocaching. It didn’t take long to home in on and find this one once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Travelling from Bathurst to Mudgee and caching along the way. Thanks to all the COs for placing the caches and showing us around your region.

Travelling from Bathurst to Mudgee . Finding many different caches in many differenTCt locations. To the CO's thank you for placing these caches there throughout the countryside and towns. TFTC

On a lovely Autumn day on the way to White Rock for a family birthday, frazeydaze and I took a slight detour through Sunny Corner, Palmers Oaky, Limekilns, Wattle Flat and Sofala. Meandering through pretty mountain ranges and densely wooded gum forests we found a few caches, including this one, along the way. TFTC

Out caching with oldmorty - a further 33 of TRLT caches found. Quick park and grab. Thanks rogpol for placing this cache here for us to find.

After overnighting in Bathurst, we are looking at some of the TRLT series today.

When we pulled up we thought another roadside barrier cache, but then read the hint. OK. We didn't see any goats or roos.

Log signed and cache replaced at 3:47 PM on December 17, 2018. TFTC.

Found with RoddyC whilst exploring the Bathurst area.

Goats galore

12:45pm.

Pulled over on the side of a random bit of road to have my lunch , and thought “wonder if there is a cache nearby”, and sure enough, there is this one less than 50mt away.
Wasn’t confident of finding it after spotting the recent grader work but thankfully was still in place.

I did see a family of goats while signing the log here. while there are still some blank areas of paper you can sign on the current log; can the next cacher or so please bring another log book or some random bits of paper. cheers and tftc

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 went for a drive to Wattle Flats.

Great view here. 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. Tftc

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

Found with cullum68 on our way to mudgee thanks for the cache

Found by Mary & David at 1100. We had seen goat road kill, a live 'roo and wonderful views for this cache. Our thanks to rogpol.

Out for a wander this weekend with Just a cacher and decided to drop in and grab this cache while we were in the area.

Thanks for the cache.

Quick find with Black Bunny. Thanks, rogpol!

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

14109. 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 !!

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.

Nice drive by, but be careful of traffic. Very busy.

Travelling from the Sofala and headed towards Bathurst along this awesome autumns arvo collecting a few caches along the way. Thanks for the maintence of the caches.

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.
We found this at night under the guidance of torchlight.

Found with MikeV1. Decided to go searching for some "night" caches after setting up camp at the racecourse. Easy with a torch!

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 #27 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.

It was actually nice to do a bit of walking to find this one but all of our GPSs were bouncing all over the place. Eventually we spotted the camo.

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.

We didn't see any goats or roos at this location, and the GPSr was all over the shop too. It didn't elude us though - we still found this one!

The WEEO and I had a great time caching all day and yacking as we went along. This was a great caching day, thanks for the work to help make it. . TFTC

No goats here today except two cachers getting hot. This is a great day out caching and I am so pleased 3-Kings and I decided to come this way. Thanks to the COs for what must have been a lot of work putting these caches out. Great time had by all. TFTC

Saw goats, a view but no kangaroos!

Good view and goats, no roos. Here from Portland Oregon visiting friends for the holidays. Doing part of the TRLT trail. Found with drobbonz and kiwisteve2. This makes 300 days in a row of caching. Tftc

Cache full of water log was in sign able

I thoroughly enjoyed tackling all the country roads doing some of the TRLT trail and other caches on route.
Plenty of exercise getting in and out of the geo-vehicle.
An early start after camping for the night at nearby Coles Bridge.

Awesome scenery from quite a number of geocaches.

Thanks to all the geocachers who have set and maintained their caches in the area. Well done to all.

**Thank you rogpol for this one.**

The Log book is very wet.
