Pay the Toll (TB Hotel) Woronora Dam, New South Wales, Australia
By Seemyshell on 17-Jul-16. Waypoint GC6NK7P

Time for this one to go, as I will be leaving the area.

After a phone call from a local Cacher visiting this TB hotel, it looks like it has been a targeted attack, and the entire contents has been stolen.

Disabling until I decide what to do with it. Re-stock it or archive?

Tb drop

Here with teamMerlin a late log picked up 3 & dropped 4

Great day out with the crew collecting some unloved and old school caches. Thanks for this placement. Cheers

Stopped off today to discover some TBs.

Dropped off 2 and picked up 3 TBs.

Dropped off 7 TBs & picked up 7 TBs

Interesting part was the cache was full of leaves and droppings so I scraped them all out then after noting the discovered tags I moved the logbook the straight passed my left arm passed the logbook went some sort of rodent (about the size of a large grey mouse) which took off into the bush

Don't know how it worked itself in there & made itself a nice home better than a tree hollow

One of three cache found today, have wanted to visit this one for a while, and took the opportunity today. Also dropped some tb's to continue/start their journey. TFTC Seemyshell

TB drop wanting North bound travel.

Thought it was time to drop them off. Sorry for the delay. Family issues

In the area again dropped off 6 trackables and picked up 5

Out doing a little bit of geocaching on this fine Tuesday and I noticed that Seemyshell had placed a cache called Pay the Toll (TB Hotel) I do like finding Traditional’s so I had to grab this one too.
Nice hide Seemyshell this is find number 1742 for me so thanks for placing the cache.

On my way down the coast i stopped off to have a break and grab some caches in the Waterfall area.
This cache has had a lot of effort go into it. A great build.
Thanks.

TB drop & pick up

Have had this one on my radar for a while and took advantage of a day out to claim a smile. Overshot GZ and was rather annoyed as I got whipped in the face by a branch but when that tollbooth was opened I was in TB heaven. TFTC and I will return now that I know of another TB hotel

Down this way again and on the way home stopped to note another of the tubs of tbs. Dropped off 7 & picked up 6 to move on.

Thanks for the hotel Seemyshell

OCW *Throsbyonchurch* who called in on passing to drop off some trackables and collected some to move on. I've been here many times in the same company, but neglected to officially sign the log book. Today there was no neglect. Cool cache.

Hey Seemy, called by to drop some trackables and took some with me. Stewart Little is home again!!!! cleaned out the leaves again Stewy stayed while we did our thing. I then tried to get it and it came up on the book, pounced on Hubz' chest flew through the air like superman for about 2 metres, dive bombed the ground and sped off like road runner.

#5408 (3 of 6 today)

I had originally intended to attend an event and then go on a long bush walk with other like minded cachers. But then life gets in the way, and I strain a few bits of me a couple of days before... and the weather looks dodgy.
So decided I'd attend the event and then grab a few other caches in the area before heading off towards "Real Life".

Got six and felt the strain on a short bush bash nearby. Methinks I made the right decision. Will have to get that long multi later, though.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Arrived from my DNF at one of the designated parking spots. Oh I need to scale the concrete barrier.
Overshot GZ and looked around when I had 2 metres.
Oh, all the way over there...

Used my old Campbell’s Cash and Carry card to open the cache.
Very nice.

Where’s my pen gone? At least there is one in the cache.
Pity so many leaves have got in - door doesn’t close properly. Cleaned them out then signed the log and discovered a few of the multitude of trackables here.

Back out and found my pen at the barricade. At least it wasn’t back at the DNF.

A favourite for the effort here.

Pulled over on the way passed to drop off some TBs

Found this one on my trip with _Annie from perth to sydney.

Thanks for hiding and bringing me here!!

**Versehentlich TB entnommen. Wieder rein damit.**

On the way to the Figure Eight pool. We stopped at this cache to pay the toll and what a surprise. It's full of TB. We took few TB to help them to travel.

TBs

More TBs

Found it this is just totally awesome TRACKABLE picked up

16,003. Found during a GCA run down the coast with minniek.

While concentrating on one type of cache today we had time for a few GCs. Heading back on the right side of the road we stopped for this one. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and headed off to the next one.

Thanks Seemyshell !! Interesting info on the history here !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Headed out with the amazing fitzy_1965 on a GCA run but picked up some GC's along the way.

Was going to attempt this earlier in the day but neither of us had the required tool to open the hotel. So back now to make the find. How could we have not seen that earlier? Too busy concentrating on the GPS. What a great hotel.....favorite point from me. Have taken two TB's and left two that were already in the hotel.

TB drop

Dropped a couple of tbs & picked one up

Cache check conducted... only 3 TBs in cache... other 4 have been notified.
Cache is in good condition, ready to be found.

Being the end of the school holidays decided on an extreme caching run today with the team of Splitty Miller JJCC, phlphotos and alnic39. On the way we grabbed some other caches, this being one due to its size which we require a heap more of this size for a certain UCG challenge in the ACT. With the cache in hand we signed the log before replacing as found. Thanks for the TB Hotel Seemyshell.

Discovered 3 TBs - NNGH The Ghost Travel Tag, Play Big Have Fun and Vullaby

Didn't see the following TB which are listed in the cache - Millie the Mallard, Premier des M, Travel EMT, OceantagZ and Zodiac Compass Geocoin

The following TBs came through for the mileage: Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling and Richard Teer.

#1792 found with alnic39, teamMerlin and Splitty Miller JJCC great to see such a nice size cache took a bit of a trick to open it, we found the key to the container in the end and made the grand entry. There were 3 TBs in there which we took note of and left in their going south trip

Signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache Seemyshell

Gevonden!

Back on the road again for another international trip. This time to Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and South Korea.
Like our previous trips we focussed on old caches, high favorites, rare cache types and pretty locations.
Most of the trip was together with Plaguerider, Zanna and FLtravelers, but some of it I did solo.
Logs were signed as DATT (Do All The Things) and if there were answers, we typically sent them as a group.

Thanks for maintaining the caches for us.

Kennesaw, GA

**Trip log:**
Found during Team DATT's (Do All The Things) annual international caching trip consisting of FLtravelers, PlagueRider, waterfan5 and myself. Africa kicked it all off back in 2016, with a follow up European tour last year. I tried to pitch Asia but the pull of the Great Ocean Road and completing our 6th continent was too strong, and we landed on week long road trips through both Australia and New Zealand. Before meeting the team in Sydney though, I was able to schedule some layovers in Asia (Beijing, Bangkok and Singapore), so in the end of I got a bit of everything. =)

**Australia Day 2 - Sydney -> Canberra:**
We departed Sydney and headed down the coast to Kiama to visit some blowholes. It was a busy day with lots to see. Our main target was Wasp Head to get the oldest earthcache in the world. While not the Great Ocean Road, the coastline was still really beautiful. We used up all the daylight seeing pretty things then made the drive to Canberra for the night.

**Cache Log:**
Nice TB hotel here. Traded out bugs.

TFTC [zanna - Atlanta, Georgia USA]

We’re on our annual international geocaching trip as Team DATT (Do All The Things) comprised of FLtravelers, PlagueRider, waterfan5, and zanna. This year we chose to explore Australia and New Zealand. Zanna and I decided to do a two-day stopover in Beijing, a three-day stopover in Bangkok, and a 12-hour layover in Singapore on our way to meet up with the rest of the team in Sydney.

Once we got the Team back together, we made a “bee-line” to Lane Cove and various caches around Sydney. Then we headed down the coast on A1. After visiting Wasp Head, we headed up through Canberra and down M31 to Melbourne, after a webcam stop on Mount Buller.

We had a great time in Melbourne, which is my favorite city in Australia so far, then onto the Great Ocean Road, the highlight of Australia for this trip. After a couple days (not nearly enough) we left the ocean road and headed up A6 towards Victor Harbor (webcam) and Adelaide (webcams) for our flight to Auckland. Seems we found every webcam in Australia.

We targeted old caches, highly favorited caches, earthcaches, virtuals, and of course webcam caches, and anything else that got our interest along the way. Logs were signed DATT. Answers, where required, were sent by one of the team members. Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of our trip with this cache. Great hide. Cool idea.

Quick find. Discovered contents. TFTC

Tb drop. Picked up a few but not logging until I’m home on those. Currently 3 Tbs in cache.

What a fabulous cache. It's so huge. Not a lot of TB's there but I did take 2 and left 3. Quite peaceful here too.

TFTC,
Paid the toll today using my Opal Card. Probably paid extra because I had a push bike with me
Visited trackables, left a couple and took one.

Out riding my bike today, to achieve my goal for GCA game this month, quick find, exchanged trackables. tTFTC.

One missing trackable that had sneaked out of town and moved over to *Grasmere* has been found squatting in *Gotta Catch Them All #17 (GC6HR88)*, very naughty of you **11-11-11 Multi Event Geocoin** (TB4TR2J) not telling anyone you were leaving!
I discovered it and have collected it to take travelling.

Toll paid for the visit. Didn't really expect any TB as no doubt they visited Morriset not so long ago. At least I can easily find it if I am passing.

TB Drop

All TBs have been evicted... and will feature at the OZGeomuster Mega Event.

Flipped a virtual coin this morning for a trip to Goulburn or a trip to Wollongong. It's that marvellously dreaded time of the fortnight again - shopping! With a wish to visit the Illawarra Meat Co., and some trackables that need to go north this was the first stop of the day. Hhhhmmm.... ***Stewart Little and the teens*** have been here again!! but this time they were not home. We cleaned out all the leaves once more, but some more housekeeping needs doing, although it's not as bad as last time. Swapped some trackables and were on our way. See you next trip.

What an amazing cache! Truely amazing! Well done. TFTC

Dropped 4 trackables.

After finding some of MavEtJu Puzzles, stopped on the way home to pick up a TB.

After finding 19 of 21 (out of a total of 36) MavEtJu puzzles, stopped here on the return journey for a TB swap.

TFTC Trackables! Exchanged TBs. We came in on the South Parking area which was closer than the north. Fun cache! Hello from Northern Wisconsin.

Caching with lostcheq and Mocrin halfway around the globe escaping figid temperatures. Finding the access that would work best for us took a little doing. Once we parked, we came prepared to pay any required toll. You went easy on us. I'd like to make a facsimile of this cache but I say that about many unique caches that I see. All is good. TFTC

Wow, so many trackables!! It took a while for us to figure out how to access the area, but once we did, we found and opened the cache quite quickly. Fun cache! We will be moving a few TBs along soon. Hello from Duluth, Minnesota!

Knowing we would be heading back this way after a holiday on the south coast, oldmorty selected a few caches to do on the way home.
As we approached GZ we slowed down and pulled off the motorway at an old heavy vehicle checking station. We slipped around the fencing and made our way down the old road towards GZ. The cache was easy to see through the bush and I pulled out my Opal card to open the cache.
Wow! How tidy and organised is this cache. Oldmorty and I could use your expertise at our place. A favourite point from me. Thanks Seemyshell

On the drive back from a family holiday down the south coast was an ideal opportunity for frazeydaze and oldmorty to tackle three of the CO'S caches at Waterfall. This was the first and after parking at the closed gates of the old heavy vehicle checking area we walked around the end of the wire fence through lots of rubbish till we reached the bitumen where we quickly spotted the not so small container; a nice change from the nanos and mint tins we have searched for the past week. We swiped our credit cards and got the necessary approval to open the container which was chock full of goodies and a decent sized log book. After log signing and the obligatory photo session by frazeydaze we were off to the next cache. TFTC sms and a very worthy fav point from me.

After the invasion of a family of mice, I had applied and obtained the eviction order from the hotel. Today, armed with all the housekeeping supplies I was happy to see the invaders had already moved on....
So it was just up to housekeeping to bleach and disinfect the hotel....
It’s now back to its pristine condition, and ready for more TBs.... dropped off two more...

Bugger. I intended to drop off a TB here today on my way to see my mother in law at Engadine but relised i had left it in my car as i wasnt driving today. Great TB hotel. Well worth a fav point. Just wish people wouldnt use the way in as a toilet. Thanku for the cache

Found with cullum68 on a busy day thanks for the cache

**The Cache**
Heading back from the *Big Smoke* I decided to call by the Hotel and discover some trackables.
OMGosh !!! what excitement we had here .... opened the toll booth to discover it was loaded with leaves galore!!! What is going on here? Some prankster has been having a good time. *Little Kitten* got a bit of branch and began sweeping the leaves out as I reached in and grabbed a container. OMGosh! a prankster? Nope. There were mice in the house. Mice? Yes, mice! Big ones, little ones, fat ones, skinny ones, tall ones, and short ones. Weeeell, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but, there was probably near a bakers dozen in here. They were trying to scurry up the walls. *Little Kitten* evicted them from their home and they scampered everywhere making *Little Kitten* laugh as I screamed a few times as they tried to clamber up our legs and over our bare feet. One came and sat at the back of my heel. I'm not scared of mice, I was a farm kid and saw many of them, I like mice. Screaming is just a reaction to surprise, especially when they are attempting to scamper over thonged feet. Sorry, they had to be evicted, they were by no means house proud, and if any girl comes here who doesn't like mice I'm sure the screams would cause an avalanche in the Arctic. Took a couple of TBs.

**The Day**
Having been appointed airport chauffers by the neighbour of a friend, we set off for the *Big Smoke*. First stop was the airport and then Caching, Woo hoo, a perk of the job [^]. I'd planned 1 Waymark and 16 Caches, and all but a couple were found and another couple of multis half attempted. Although I had a fairly fun day with the places we went, I didn't have as fantastic a day as I normally would in *the Country* [^]. The locations were fantastic and the caches were fantastic, and even though it was hot and very muggy, the heat wasn't too bad, but I seriously *HATE*[:(!] city traffic, noise, traffic lights and being in gridlock. I actually found Brisbane far better than Sydney for all of that. The day ended with a highlight that lifted the spirits when we arrived at the Toll booth.

Mum and her partner went away on a Holiday to Sydney and since i missed Seemyshell on his trip to Tasmania, I got them to take some Tb over for me and bring some back to. Apparently this is an awesome cache that is well organised. I have seen a video of this on instagram and would really love to come and check it out myself. TFTC

Stopped in at this one on the way to the airport, heading back home to Tasmania i thought some TBs might want to cond on the journey with me. Was excited to find the gadget cache, so well organised and set out/ labelled neat cache. What a pleasure!
Thankyou for the geocache SeeMyShell beautifully presented and planned favourite point awarded took a couple of TBs aswell will log them shortly.

Grabbed a TB to take back to owner, my mate Azzepious. Great cache!

Visited the TB Hotel with EverestHigh while on our way to The Dark Side Of The Moon. I picked up a few TBs while checking in. Good to see the hotel is operating well. Just needed to clean some leaves from the foyer, but otherwise all in good condition. TFTC

TFTC SMS

Found easily. Lotsa TBs in & lotsa TBs out. TFTC SMS

Wow, you certainly don't see a cache like this every day! Definitely worth the trip. Thanks Seemyshell for raising the geocaching bar.

TFTC!

Our long overdue first visit to this hotel, seems we picked a good time to visit, it looks like the CO was here earlier today.
Now what woman does not carry some sort of card with her, after a short walk Mrs Crow produced a card and presto the toll was paid in full and entry was gained to this hotel.
We brought swaps especially for the occasion, swapped 5 for 5 and discovered the others.
I remember the tolls here well, it used to cost 40c per car.

A girl never leave home without the credit cards, so the door opened up for us. The TB hotel looks a bit empty and all that space. 1 TB present. We added our names to the log. TNSL TFTC

Didn't see any bugs but dropped one off just the same.

Last cache of the day after finding Dark Side of the Moon and the Cataract Scout Series

We'd collected a couple of TB's during the day so made a quick stop here to drop them safely.

Paid the toll, dropped the tags in the overseas box and signed the log

Loved this one
