Drove all the way round before finding the entrance. Teach us to trust the GPSr! A short walk once it was found to GZ where a cursory inspection didn’t reveal much. A stretch and the the cache was ours.
Log very wet. We just managed to get a faint name on it.

Our first full day in Dubbo started slowly as we took some time to relax and catch up, but inevitably we headed out to do some sightseeing and of course caching. It was a marvellous day with clear skies and little wind. The sun on our backs felt wonderful, the day being as good as it actually looked.
We finished a few puzzles we had solved in advance and came across a few good hides as well as some good sized caches.
Thank you to the local COs for their efforts in hiding and maintaining the caches.

In Dubbo for the show and while that was going on I went caching. This one was sitting on the side of the tree in a slight depression in plain sight. I moved it slightly higher and slight less (but still) obvious

Thanks Bourkebornandbred

On a trip to Dubbo for a long weekend away from Canberra. It's been a while since I've managed a geo-trip so it's good to be on the road again. It's also very hot, days on the mid 30's are hard going. First stop is Cowra, then Canowindra, Molong and Wellington. I returned via Orange and Crookwell for a bit of variety.

We do love a cemetery cache. This one did not disappoint.

Thanks Bourkebornandbred

I’ve put in a replacement geocache today on the 08/02/2021, I’m petty sure I’ve put it in the correct location. Owner will need to double check to make sure.

We spent a night in Dubbo on our drive from Canberra to Brisbane. Before leaving this morning, we decided to come this way and collect a Geocache . It is nice to have a smiley on the map to show that we have been here.

A couple of days in Dubbo, luckily we had caching to do as it was horrendous at the caravan park. Now at Hair of the Dog Inn, Balimore, pushing on towards Mudgee, hopefully we will pick up a few.
