After seeing previous dnfs, and logging 2 of my own in this track of caches, I didnt even bother with this one.

Its time to put these to rest after so many DNF. Thanks for the memories.

Found the likely hiding spot right at GZ but no cache unfortunately

Ahhh too may DNF today. Seems like these ones are all gone.

Out with the geofam (Macka4867, Gundrills & KnightJR) to get some more caches. TFTC

###TFTC!!###

Up here for the OZGeomuster Mega event ... this is the last day - after caching with someone until stupid o'clock this morning, and only getting half a nights sleep, I crawled out of my sleeping bag, packed up my tent/campsite, and dashed off to the farewell event down here at the Dam. After that, and having a long conversation with the person I had cached with the day/night before (and who handed me a bunch of TBs), I decided I might see if I could find all of the caches here near the dam, and along the road out, before heading off home. Seems a few of the ones I found have been archived since I found them ... I wonder why? (As far as I remember, they were all ok when I found them). I found a few near the dam, and the ones along the road, past the Scout camp, to the turn off ... By which time it was dark, so I headed off towards home, stopping in Appin for one more cache I wanted to grab on my way past ... then heading the long way home because - the night before - some idiot had decided it was a good idea to somehow drive a B Double past all the "no heavy vehicles" signs, around the hairpin bend, and wrecked the Gaurd rails when he got stuck on the bridge!
... and ... It seems several of the caches I found have now (for valid reasons) been archived ... and locked - so I can't log them ... ahrgh ...
TFTC - Parked when I saw cacher trail, grabbed

Found with FUF009 while in the area. Tftc

Found with Maccamob and sometimes pprass today. A nice day for caching.

We had to skip this section on Sunday as we were running out of time before the flash mob event, so grabbed it before the farewell event on our way home after a great weekend at the mega and surrounding caches. Found with Banj Ward and the beary_unicorns, logs signed Team 740.... TFTC!

We had an enjoyable morning finding the caches along this road, after leaving the Mega. All of the caches were found pretty easily, with some taking a little longer because our GPS was a bit unreliable. Thanks for placing these caches - it was great to have a little trail to do on our way out. TFTC!

Found today on our way to the farewell event, we had a great time exploring around here.

Thank you for hiding this cache

DD attempted this one the other night, but was thwarted by security telling her that she had to leave now, as it would be considered trespassing after 5pm- even on foot. No such issues today, fortunately. TFTC

Last day around the mega and tidying up some loose ends today with Karicka before flying home tomorrow.
Thanks for placing these.

Found with Gazkersh and littlemisslonglegs. Excellent hidey hole!

Found with Canberra crew while attending the Oz Geomuster. TFTC

Thanks The Bushies 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.

Thanks for the cache
We are finding some great caches while at the Mega.

A group of five of us from Auckland, New Zealand have embarked ourselves upon Australian territory to while away the time here at the MEGA and to gather up some old caches and see the country wile we’re at it.

All logs while in Australia were signed as NZ MEGA 2020 to save space. We are FMZ, Agazo, rustynz, harisree and myself.

On the last day of the Mega I decided to finish off this series near the base camp.
I had done about half of these yesterday, and late this afternoon finished the balance.
Drove towards the dam and started off from that end.
Somehow signed this one twice - had already done it yesterday.

Found on our trip to OzGeomuster. We found this one on day 5 of our trip. Mr Fergzter is a Joey leader and Mrs Fergzter is a guide leader so we both got a kick out of this series. Thanks for placing this one for us to find. Greetings from 1st Wendouree. TFTC

Another well placed hide, I enjoyed all in the series while at the mega.

Find # 8303

Found while up at the Gong event.

Not feeling tired, I was interested in a walk down n up this road under torch light.
I would have drove it but alas the gates were locked.
To break up the walk I done every second one down n the rest on the way up.
With all the noises coming from the dark bush made it for an interesting n sometimes on edge caching experience.

Day 44

This series of caches has been staring us in the face throughout the Mega, so Team NZ Mega 2020 just had to knock them off before the closing ceremony. TFTC.

Very cool trees at GZ. This is my kinda place.

Out adventuring with Joolay and Kittykatch on my first full day at the Mega in Wollongong. Such a diversity of caches today, with CITO’s Puzzles, Trads and even the odd Trig. Thanks everyone for the awesome day!

Nice quick find here thanks The Bushies. I am really appreciating all these regular finds around here as they are few and far between at home. TFTC # 14,130

It is the last day, and the closing ceremony is tonight, so we are caching nearer the scout camp whilst we still have daylight

Thankfully we were able to find another in the series, thanks The Bushies for another hide and the history of Scout Jamboree

A quick warm-up find on the way to some lab caching at the dam.
Thanks The Bushies.

Here for the MEGA, to see a buddy in the Gong and of course running around(biking in my case) to pick up this series. All well placed and generally easy to find as that tell tale geo trail beckoned the cacher! Pretty fun watching everyone peering at devices, muttering and having a great time. TFTC

Hi.
I enjoyed escaping from the camp this morning to check out the dam. I wasn't sure if I'd bother caching but after a nice walk along the dam I decided why not. So I found 14/15 caches on my way back to camp. The one I didn't get was because of a picnic there. I also added a page of waterproof paper to a couple if cages with full log books.

Thanks for the caches.

With a little trail leading the way to gz it didn't take us long to locate where the cache was hiding. TFTC

Find #66 on our geocation to the Mega at Cataract Park via Canberra for a couple of nights.

Using the track down the side of the road made for a quick succession of finds without worrying about getting out onto and off the road.

Thanks

It's MEGA weekend, this time up in The 'Gong.

I joined the usual suspects, Aquilus1, dty73 and Tankengine for a few days of merriment, labs, geoart and a few select oldies and cool D/T. I was unfortunately a little late to the party only arriving after lunchtime on Saturday, but everyone was so happy to see me and had had an absolute ball doing the lab caches and the jamboree power trail...I was kind of sad to be interrupting their fun.

Anyway.... so many labs, so much geoart and so little time... but we made very good time on Saturday afternoon, being joined for a few hours by Loci612 in the every so roomy car.

Fantastic dinner and then back to the trivia for fun times... with DIP & CHEESE! At the end of the night my big beautiful cosy bed was waiting for me untouched!

The Sunday morning was targeted oldies and goodies, then the completion of the geoart.... had to have that one saved for posterity on my map. I couldnt resist cleaning up the rest of the regulars on the Jamboree trail before a last minute night-cache-in-the-day with jm383.

It all had to come to an end so I started the long-enough-to-be-boring drive back to Canberra.

Thanks to all the organisers and CO's... I had a ball

Night walk during the mega! Lovely evening for it, flying solo. I need to get my find count up so I can log the mega as #5,000 and this series was going to be very helpful in that regard!

The afternoon light was spent heading down to cataract dam and collecting all the caches along the way. Very impressed with the dam itself but also with the long standing history of the scouts here.

Thanks for all the cache placements. ????

Nearby to the OZGeomuster - I had overshot the driveway and pottered around a little bit.
Thanks for this cache, The Bushies. Greetings from Christchurch, NZ.

Dropped by during the OZGeomuster weekend. Great location. TFTC!

Went for a morning drive with Noikmester to pick up this cache series. TFTC!

Joint find with 4Moule TFTC

Teamed up with Natalie247 from NZ, and called ourselves Trans tasman team signing as TTT. Picking up a few near camp after a busy muster morning. Nice to add to our days tally. Tftc

Ju and I headed back to Cataract Park from the flash-mob and started on this series, before she had to be back on-site to sing. As a Scout and now a Scout Leader (and Ju being a Rover and now a Leader as well) it is great to see this series.

The 14th Australian was my Jamboree as a Scout and it was a big difference from the camps I had been on before. The two things I remember the most from this Jamboree was that wearing shoes that did up with the Velcro straps (as was the trend at the time) were no good for Challenge Valley when the mud got into the Velcro, it stopped working.

The second is the song 'We Built this City' by Starship which I will always associate with this Jamboree. Once we arrived an started setting up camp I got my 'Ghetto Blaster' out and this was the first song the Jamboree radio station was playing. TFTC

Found at 9:44:00 AM with DogboyOz

Went to find some caches along the way to the flashmob event at the lighthouse. We got distracted by these caches and ended up doing a few before DBO got boed.

Thanks The Bushies

Quick find

Found while enjoying the *2019 OzGeomuster - The Gong*. OCW *Throsbyonchurch* who found the cache previously. As we were down here for the lab cache we stopped to sign the log for me. TFTH.

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 is a bit fuzzy.

Find no 6 of 12 today.

Thanks, The Bushies

We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you The Bushies for placing the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy
