Good hiding spot!

Second time lucky. TFTC

A small walk from #20 . Followed the geotrail to area that was likely for the hide . A perfect and brilliant constructed hide. Make sure you wear gloves to retrieve a geo spider was there to greet me . It made jump at first I thought it was fake , no way so be careful. TFTC

Down here this morning and a bit of a break so decided to head here to knock off a few more of these Jamboree caches. It has been a long time since been down here. With the sighting compass, topo map and coords already arranged we took our bearings and headed to GZ. After a bit of a search the cache was found

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache paegle boy

The following TBs visited for the distance - Hawkesbury Tiger, 2011- 2021 NSW geocoins, Cache In Trash Out Geocoin, Cache In Trash Out Tag, CITO Micro Geocoin, Cache In Trash Out Tag, CITO Leaf Nano Geocoin, CITO 2019 Geocoin, CITO 2021 Geocoin, dirty Black Juke, Spindoc Bob Memorial Geocoin, Geostuff 10 Year Anniversary Coin, Govenor Lachlan Macquarie.
Been way too long since I really did Orienteering, lucky the compass, map & coords are in the GPSr

Field log, full log to follow.

Super cool camo. The cache could do with a spring clean, and a giant fat slug greeted us. TF taking the time to create this GZ. Down here on a road trip from Brisbane.

Visited here on a day out with the Krew. Geokids found it no issue, and was it ever covered in stuff! Had to scrape dirt and ant stuff off with a stick before I could open it up. Inside was damp, but log was still usable. Took a TB to put some K’s on. TFTC !

Added travel bug

Found! Thanks so much for the travel bug too!! Great cache found with C0mpmatt

Found today with Beckatoza! Thanks for the travel bug too! We will send it on it's way

Yep

A quick grab on the way to the coast. Once I reached GZ I was confident what I wood be looking for. TFTC

Nice one! As others have said, some cool camo! Cache quite mucky on outside but reasonably good on the inside. Log was a little damp, but holding up for now. Tftc!

Such a clever hide Thankyou

Great hide camo TFTG

Really clever hide

Great Camo TFTC

Looks like my luck is returning after an unsuccessful hunt on the side road I seem to be doing alright here, so far. Great Camo for this one!

Cool

After a second look for this one, I realised I’d touched it but didn’t realise. Swapped some lute and will be back for the other next time.. the rains coming!

We enjoyed the walk . Thanks paegle boy for placing this geocaches 7219 find for me. CITO was first on the list after listening to Cully's talk. The next plan was to find our final GEO art, followed by the dam lab cache. Anything in-between was a bonus.

The time has finally arrived for a massive Australian road trip with The Kiwi Chicks. We are GraciesGPSfun , thedbees , Ethness, Infoferret , Jude_E and me Nosynel. We might sometimes sign the geocaches as KCs or TKCs.

Sadly there was no large event in New Zealand in 2019 but there are a few Mega events planned in Australia. New Zealand will have another large event in 2020 in Auckland. 
======== NZ Mega 2020 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. Thanks for hiding this geocache.

Kiwi Caching Chicks are in Aussie! We are Nosynel, Infoferret, Jude_E, (thedbees, graciesgpsfun some times) and Ethness. Over from NZ for the Ozgeomuster and trying to do as many caches as we can in the time we have here. We signed as KC or KCC. Nice hide here. Thank you.

#5272 12th for today

Day four of the Oz Geomuster Mega at Cataract (the Gong). Caching with mtrax and CBRChic and various others. We started with Cully Long's Advanced Puzzling seminar and then headed out to grab some more of the series down at the Cataract Dam. Then it was off to Mt Keira to grab the last of the Wollongong tour Adventure lab. Fantastic views at Mt Keira. Then we had to dead back to Canberra with a plan to stop off at Mittagong for lunch and the New Sheffield adventure lab which we managed to knock off pretty quickly. Our schedule allowed us to grab a few caches on the way back.



Thanks paegle

The last day of the OzGeomuster Mega – time to pick up the last few round the area and on our way home after attending the last Cully Long’s Puzzling seminar. The view from Mt Keira was stunning. On the way home we made a few stops to pick up caches and adventure labs. Unfortunately my phone was not playing fair and I will need a return trip to do one of the labs – silver lining in that I get to visit the New Sheffield again and pick up more caches. Big thank you to StrangeTrousers for all the driving and mtrax for the great company plus all the other geobuddies new and old for a fabulous weekend.

TFTC paegle

Day 10 of our “mum and kids adventure” holiday saw us head into the Gong for some lab caches and normal caches. This was a quick find on the way. Thanks for the cache.

Thank you for putting these out, made for a fun day.
======== NZ Mega 2020 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2020 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:
20 years of geocaching worldwide.
20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
And it's 2020 - all the 20s!
Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of this event - you won't want to miss it!

With the closing ceremony finished we decided to grab the Scout Jamboree series along the busy Appin Rd under the cover of darkness.
Starting at 20 we quickly worked our way through to 25 before heading back to camp for some well deserved shut eye.
Thanks paegle boy for the placement.

Found at dusk.

Found while enjoying the *2019 OzGeomuster - The Gong*. OCW *Throsbyonchurch* who found the cache previously, so we returned to sign the log for me. TFTH.

Caching during The Gong event
Nice hide
TFTC ??????

The GeoFamily and I are off to the Gong for the OzGeoMuster. We got up at sparrow flatulence, and set off in the dark. Mrs Mister JD uses Mister JD with me, but the kids have their own ids, AM_MMJD and Su_MMJD. Dawn didn't appear before Goulburn. We ate at the dreaded Maccas, and on we went to event GZ and about 8:30, where we met our geocaching friends. Hugs, chats, milling about. Then off for a day of geocaching with our mates. Day 1, we collected four and had a great day. Today we've arranged to meet up with our mates at the flashmob event at the lighthouse. and here we all are.

One of my geocaching projects is to collect 500 "Regular" sized caches for a challenge, so, after the temple, I took off up the mountain for he regular sized caches in the Jamboree series. The GeoFamily went to the beach and the kids made new friends. I enjoyed these caches. Well placed and well hidden. Everything is in pretty good condition. Some of the camo needed replacing, which I did whenever I could. I signed for the GeoFamily as well (MMJD), and in the event repeated them all on the following day with our mates. Sorry these logs are a bit generic, I've caught the plague today and my memory for the hides (relating to the cache sequence) is a bit fuzzy.

I remember this one. Great hide.

Find no 12 of 12 today.

Thanks, paegle boy

*7 Jul 2019, Found @ 10:45 pm, Find # 9471.*

After returning from the lighthouse series, we needed a couple more finds to round off todays numbers so we stopped here for a look.
This was the next on our list as it had a slightly higher T rating, we made our way to GZ and we were able to uncover the nicely hidden container fairly quickly.

**Thanks to paegle boy for placing this cache.**

Find # 8281

Found while up at the Gong event.

After a pathtag trading session I was out again. For a few quick grabs on these few on the main road.
Going out I caught up with a fellow cacher.
Finding out they were targeting the same ones, but on foot.
But when offered, they happily jumped in the passenger seat and we were off.

A short n quick bunch that seen me back at camp in time for tea.

A great find with froggycache! Tftc!

OCW PDG, EH, BR & IP. TFTC paegle boy!

This one stumped me a little (no pun intended, really). I found the hiding spot but dismissed it until another cacher found it for me - doh!

TFTC paegle boy

When I arrived there was another cacher scrambling round in the dark with a torch looking for this. Found in the first place I looked - nice hide too. TFTC # 14,109

This should have been a very quick find but it was just a quick one as I was on the wrong side for a minute. Once I walked around it was impossible to miss.

An early start form the mega HQ to head to the capital and find a few on the way! TFTC!!

A quick find while at the nearby geomuster. TFTC

Our 6th find for the day as we cache around the area. I attended 2007 Jamboree as a Leader and had a ball (it was my only Jamboree)
Thanks for the fun
