Trying hard to clean up the remaining caches in and around Goulburn. TFTC

Exploring the Goulburn region today we took the opportunity to stop here. This cache was a straightforward find in the obvious location. Container and log in good condition.Thanks!

Fun caching in this region today. Great weather in a lovely location. TFTC gazza959!

Good condition

Thankyou

Found in good condition.

TFTC. Quick on a warm sunny day.

Townsville to grab the Palm Island LGA. Now only 2 LGAs to complete Australia.Back around Canberra and doing some side trips.TFTC. A return trip from Oberon to Goulburn with 60 caches including a CITO, 2 ECs, a multi and many interesting trads. Firstly along the highway and then through the pine forest plantation tracks. Amazing scenery with lots of deer, emus, roos and rabbits.Nice quick find

Thank you, a beautiful spot

Our day started at 7 am. We were dressed and in the car, ready to head down towards Goulburn with the specific goal in mind of completing as many of the Taralga Trek caches as possible. We arrived at our first cache just after 8 am and completed our journey at 5 pm. We attempted 59 caches in total. Sadly, 6 turned out to be DNFs. Throughout the day, we had to battle the wind to keep our feet on the ground. Despite that, the views from most locations and the journey in between were great. We stopped in at Taralga Hotel and had a delicious lunch between the legs of our adventure. Given the sheer volume of finds today, my logs are pretty generic unless there was something interesting to add. ABOUT THIS CACHE: Quick find. Everything was in good condition. Log signed, and everything was returned as found.TFTC and the awesome adventure with my son!

Reperio 20:15Today I headed down to Canberra to catch a flight to Adelaide for the upcoming mega event, and managed to pick up a few caches this afternoon along the way before finding somewhere to sleep for the night. This one was found after a short search at GZ. Gratias gazza959As a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

Found with sebass19 on an awesome day on the Taralga Trek. We started at about 9:30am and starting heading back towards Canberra at 4pm. All up, 46 caches for the day which is great considering there were a couple of hard ones and DNFs. Very cold and windy day but the drive in this beautiful picturesque rural area was well worth it and the company made it even greater. We had beautiful BBQ pork ribs at the Taralga Hotel which made for a great chance to sit down and have a relax. Awesome effort from all the COs in this area!

Quick and easy find at GZ. There was the smell of a dead animal though in the area so we left quicksmart. TNLNSL. TFTC gazza959!

Using up a day of 'extra' leave (before I lose it at the end of the month) to top up my find numbers for the day. Cached from Goulburn to Laggan via Taralga picking up over 40 caches in total. Cache easily found. TFTC.

Find Number 1

A quick find as we do a trip out to Taralga.

Thanks gazza959 for placing the cache

Found cache, nice skull.

Tftc! Quick little find

TFTC Quick easy find here today.

Grateful thanks to the CO for placing and maintaining so many great caches to entertain me on my journey.

After visiting Mount Gray and completing an Adventure Lab in the morning, we decided to head towards Taralga to see part of the area we had not visited previously and to look for the caches placed along the roadside.

Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks gazza959 for this cache and the part of the series we visited today.

#11327 - 8:52:00 AM; Set out on a cold but sunny morning with Sol de lune and Smittengranny on a caching mission north to Taralga then west to Laggan and Crookwell. Seventy three caches found and three DNFs for the day. Logs signed LL, Sdl and SG or similar. Most caches were found without incident and apart from a few soggy logs, were in good condition. A chilly wind came up just before noon, but didn't detract from an excellent day's caching. Apologies for the generic logs. TFTC gazza959

No we weren't stumped here thank you.

On this sunny cool Sunday morning I was out caching for the day with Sol de Lune and LuckyL10n. Our main target were the caches along the roads through Taralga, Laggan, Crookwell to Gunning and home to Canberra again. We started this series here as it had been decided to get out of town a bit as we could grab the others at a later date.

We took it turn to jump out and grab and sign the logs, though on occasions all three of us were out searching. Thanks for this series gazza959. All logs were signed with some combination of LSS.

A day out caching with Smittengranny and LuckyL10n up to Taralga, Crookwell and Gunning before heading home to Canberra. A great day for caching, even with the wind being a tad cool...

Lots of caches found today and this was our next one. No issues at all and our names were soon in the log.

Thanks gazza959 for the history and showing us the area.

Quick find on our way to Oberon. Freezing day. TFTC

A day off today, so I have decided to do the Taralga series of caches. I spent a lot of my time out at Kilto as a scout. It started as a very basic camp and over time, toilet and shower blocks were put in. I spent many weekends out here with my father and scout leader working on the camp site. It is a shame to see that it is not being used these days. Thanks gazza959.

good hiding spot had to double back to get to it . That's for the cache

Well guarded. Good view of the range. Tftc

Great find

Thanks Gazza Sniffermutt helped

Thanks it blends in well

Great find

Thank you we hit this from Goulburn right up - what a great way to spend the day, everything was nice and green. Thank you for the cache.

We based ourselves in quaint Binda last night and apart from a horrific storm which inncluded hail (not happy with dents in car) it proved to be a good base for many of the geocaches in the area. The countryside is looking awesome and we enjoyed the rural location, wonderful views and history. Thanks to gazza959 for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

On our way home from the St Arnuad Mega, decided to complete this series. Quick find, stamped the log and replaced. Thanks to gazza959.

TFTC,
Completed the second half of this power trail in January 18 when we were washed out trying this first part.
Back today and again looking forward to morning tea at Tarago.
Good to be able to safely stop with a van.

Tftc - easy find

Had to wait for another vehicle to leave - maybe another cacher? Will keep an eye out as I try for some of this series today. Cache all good, thanku

Decided to take a drive to Goulburn, along the back roads.
Picked up caches along the way, and this was one of them.
Signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for placing this cache, gazza959, for us and others to find.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one of the list

Travelling from Orange to Goulburn today, and enjoying this trail, on a breezy day. Thank you for cache

Staying in Goulburn for two nights and today we decided to do the Taralga Trek and Taralga Trek Too caches. Many thanks to the CO/s for placing these caches and showing us around your area.

On our way to Queanbeyan Mega, caching along the way. Staying close by decided to grab a couple of caches. Log may be stamped Coongoola or small logs signed CG. SL

Thanks for placing this cache gazza959

AngelG27, Tankengine and I decided to hit the trails near Canberra to pick up some numbers. It was an awesome team - TEs driving skills, AngelG27s food delights and I guess I was just there for my sparkling personality??? Anyway it was a great day out and I loved being with my friends.

Trails aren't my favourite way to cache, but doing it with friends makes it not so bad. I have to admit too that a lot of the caches on this trail were also a little different than just a mint tin or sistema under a rock and so for a powertrail this was a nice one.

All the caches were in good order and the coords were good enough to find the cache - unless otherwise mentioned. Tftc gazza959!!!

Cache 4805 on 10 Mar 2019.

What is not to love about a long weekend - an extra day to go caching! I have a goal to reach 5000 caches at the QBN mega, so a few extra cache trips are required. Power trails are not my favourite type of caching, but doing them with caching buddies makes them bearable! So Tankengine, dty73 and myself headed toward the Taralga series today for some numbers.

TE has most of them already so he was driving, and giving us such useful advice! We also picked up other caches along the way, well why not! All caches found in good order and according to the hint, unless otherwise indicated.

This cache: quick find

Thanks gazza959 for the cache and the fun!

Our goal today was to cache the Taralga Trek from Goulburn to Taralga before continuing on to the Wombeyan Caves. It was a lovely drive and we enjoyed the scenery. We saw a few kangaroos and did some birding at the various stops along the way. Many thanks to the CO for having laid the trail. This one was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Had me stumped for a while but now I'm doing the log

Nice spot, took the trackable and left something you may need a pokeball for.

#3379 In the area today from Canberra. Found a total of 25. The cache was a quick find. TFBMH gazza959.

A very quick park and grap. Dropped off a trackable.tftc

Having a couple of hours to fill I opted to head out for a little solo caching.
Taralga Road looked interesting to this Brisbanite so off I set.
Totalled 30 finds in just over 2 hours, not too bad for an old fella! LOL …

A string of quick finds & it looks like I may be able to rack up about 30 smilies today if my luck holds.
Had to hold off going for the cache for a few minutes as a council truck pulled up not far behind me & took it's time doing a U-turn to head back towards Goulburn.
as soon as they departed it was a quick grab & deed done.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

I'm out today to rack up numbers. Found quickly in good condition. Tftc

Thanks for the cache

International Geocaching Day today so Joolay and I headed out to grab a bunch of caches. Goulburn parkrun first and then caching. Finished off the Taralga series and grabbed some others on our list. TFTC

Out and about with Kittykatch and decided to go back to finish the Taralga Trail. It was a very chilly, windy day to be out and about but still good to see some country views. We knew there was some rain about and for some got a bit damp but mostly beat the rain. Thanks for getting us out and about.

10706 and 1st of 19 found today.

FFP and I decided to take the day off today to do something different. So we were originally heading to Young but my mate was away so we headed to Wombeyan Caves instead. Of course whenever a cacher heads away they normally do a PQ or caches along a route and away we go.

And that's what we did.

Nice that most, if not all, this series had good safe places to pull over and the co-ords were good as were the containers.

Happy to say that FFP (lapsed cacher) helped me find a couple that had me scratching my head.

A lot of work went in to this series so thank you for that and thank you for placing the cache gazza959 and the last.

TFTC

Thanks! Great start to our holiday with an easy find

Continuing the n/s section of the trek saw us arrive at this location. Another smile to the collection TFTC

I really appreciated that this trail was placed with good parking at most of the locations.

Thanks

It was easier to pull the car over here, compared to the last cache. We parked opposite Falconwood entrance and made a quick find. Thanks

Needing a concentrated area to tick off enough smileys to make a dent in the Mythical Creatures challenge, k.e-a26 joined me for a “quick” run around Goulburn, Taralga and Crookwell. Sun shining, wind icy but enough PnGs and by nightfall we had ticked off 50 finds. When I had passed along this road a year ago, I had been more intent on tackling TRLT (south) than starting this, at the time, partially completed power trek, but after an impromptu invite recently for the Trek Too section with HappyUke, decided to return today and finally tick off the north/south run.

Tftc signed log

A massive day was planned to clean up the area around Goulburn and do all of the Taralga trek. Started with a parkrun in Goulburn and then took the clockwise loop to Crookwell, Laggan, Taralga and back to Goulburn. Weather wasn't really on my side, cold and partly wet, but no soaking rain so I pushed through. Great caches and a good series with lots of different containers and hiding spots. I had a great day, thanks to all the cache owners for putting out the caches.

The Rats, steeba and Hoojar once again teamed up for another fun day of caching in the highlands. With our intended target being the Taralga Trek we made our way to Goulburn late on Saturday where we grabbed a few local caches before heading out to Peejar Dam where a very chilly night was spent under the stars. Sunday had us snaking our way around the Upper Lachalan area of Crrokwell and Taragla before heading back to Wollongong to complete our 24 hour adventure.


Thanks to all the CO's for your cache placement, they added to gtreat day out with the boys.

Out and about on a 24-hour spree with The Rats and Steeba. We headed down to Goulburn on Saturday night to grab a few of the local caches that we had not yet collected, and then out to Peejar to spend a cool night under the stars. Sunday morning we went into Crookwell for breakfast, before following the Trek series into Taralga, and back to Goulburn. Finally we headed for home via a few more caches in the Highlands.

I ended up with a touch over 100 caches in the 24 hours away from home (100 was my goal, as I work towards 10,000). Some excellent caches were found. Thanks to all of the caches owners for their efforts.

Not able to access the Scout Camp anymore sadly.

Cheers

Another little caching sojourn with The Rats and Hoojar- not quite a weekend away but with a night out. We started in the darkness in Goulburn before camping at Pejar, into Croowell in the morning then across to Taralga and back to Goulburn via the Taralga Trek. Some nice countryside! Then back to Goulburn and slowly made our way back via the highlands and a few more find.

TFTC!

Easy

OCW Stumble'sMate today for an epic geocaching trip. As usual, our day was alot longer than anticipated but that's what you get when you geocache. Sorry for the delay in logging! TFTC all. Visited some Scout Coins.

OCW StumbleTrip today. Our aim was to do the trip between Goulburn, Taralga, Laggan, Crookwell and back Goulburn. All up we attempted 67 caches of which 4 were DNF's. Time wise we took way longer than we had calculated but then we didn't really have a time limit! Thanks to the cache owners for placing all the caches we attempted today!

We were bored sting at yo e so decided to go out for a few afternoon caches.
Enjoyed the massive spider in the tree watching over the cache.
Tftc ??
