No luck today.

Accompanied with ALL7.Second, we visited, looked everywhere, unable to findSad DNF

DNF for us ..

Staying at Broulee Caravan park, and today we got the bikes down after a long period of not being able to ride. A cool but sunny day doing the Bengello walk.Total Caches Found 16288TFTC Youban

4th 6The plan was to have another look on the return journey but we detoured on to the beach and therefore ran out of time to stop and look again. This DNF definitely should not imply it's not there.

Out for a days caching with steeba and Hoojar. We had a lovely day on the south coast. This was one of many we found throughout the day.TFTC

Out for a day of caching on the South Coast with Steeba and The Rats, aiming for a few series and finishing with the 20th Anniversary Earthcache Event.Hot day for a walk, bet we will be wishing for a sea breeze by the end. Let's see howany of this series we can knock over.Cheers

Headed down the coast for a day mainly to celebrate the Wasp Head event with The Rats and Hoojar but found plenty of caches along the way for a nice day out.TFTC!

A bit hard but found it!!

A day out caching with Bogonghazy. Quick find. Thanks for placing the geocache

Out again today with LittleBoss2 to knock off as many of these as we can. These are new containers to us. Thanks again Youban

Went back and found covered up in a spot we didnt search.

Nope

Found this cache swiftly enough as I was getting the hang of what to search for.

A day of walking along the tracks between Broulee and North Moruya Heads for a whole bunch of caches. Pleasant walk through the forest and only light bush to have to walk through, some really good cool caches in this area. TFTC.

Found with Curloo. Thanks for the hide.

Found with Jondub. TFTC

Caching down the South Coast and district for a few days. TFTC.
Quick find once looking in the right area.

Beautiful day in a beautiful place - TFTC

Nice hide

A couple of days at the coast.
Cool, but beautiful and sunny; definitely warmer than Canberra.
We made our way down yesterday, stopping along the way for a few adventures and a couple of caches, a pie in Braidwood for lunch then we set up camp in Tomakin for 3 nights.
An awesome place to stay, and right by the river, we have a spectacular sunset (see photos).

Today we tackled this awesome series.
For many years, we used to stay at Mossy Point in the summer and run/ride this beautiful trail. We would make our way to the airport and watch the “cigar” plane take off or land.
Today, we also watched a skydiving plane take off and then paused on our walk to watch the parachutes, skydivers land.
In later years, quite spontaneously, our son flew us in a small 4 seater plane to the Moruya airport, and we picked up a FTF (unexpectedly), just 50 metres from the airport!

Today we were on foot, and it was a long walk.
About this series. It is beautiful and awesome forest/beach trail.
The care in creating the hides is lovely; none of the hides are “hidden”. All out in the open but invisible unless you are truly looking. Most were quick finds, however 2 or 3 took us somewhat longer.
Our name is in the log for all.
We say a big thank you to Youban for this awesome series.
Now onto the bonus final…

Spotted this cache from a distance and moved in for the find. TFTC

Catching up with some very late logs. This was found while staying in the area.

Out for a ride today and picked off a few in this series. It was an easy enough find once at GZ.

Thanks Youban for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Found it. TFTC.

Really enjoyed this trail and appreciate all the effort the CO has put into hiding interesting and creative containers. All the coords were pretty much spot on which helped in this bush setting.

All attempted were found and logs signed with the exception of one DNF logged separately. Unsurprisingly some of the logs were damp but still able to be signed. TFTC and the series Youban

Number 8 was a tricky one but luckily we found it

Today we walked with the geopooch along half of this Bengello track and back along the beach to the car. Started out a bit prickly caching, but got better along the way which made finding more comfortable, and dodging the spider webs. This track is quite a busy one for walkers and bike riders. TFTC

Thanks for hiding

TFTC. I notice some put logs back in the caches upside down. Just note that it is easier to grab toothpick/nail than paper log to extract log from hidey hole. Just sayin’ . In case cachers scan previous logs like I do.

Found it with lance51

Found it with Silence49 while on travelling

No luck here today, moved on.

Found it

Cache in good condition TFTC

Visiting Moruya with Aramil_au, for the geocaching. Hoping to find lots of them, so sorry for the generic log. Lovely town. Thanks for the cache.

Out on a day trip with Runner5ive to the coast.

I decided I needed another solo geocaching holiday to detox before uni so I thought the Bengello caches (the Bengello Walk and all the other nearby series') were a great excuse for holidaying at Broulee! Bengello is a stunning area, with a great mix of lovely vegetation and awesome ocean views. The weather was hot today but super blue and lovely, and (for the most part) pretty shady! Started walking at 7am (I didn't get a good sleep) from my accommodation and got back at 3:30pm, with 55 caches to boot. Great to spend Valentine's Day spending time around my true love, geocaching!

The caches in the Bengello Walk series were all found within a couple of minutes each, some instantaneously but some after a bit longer (but that's all about luck, I reckon finding speed would be variable for many people). Unfortunately a vast majority of the logs are quite wet, some unusable, so maintenance is required. I noticed that caches with clues for the bonus tended to be more wet than caches without the bonus (if you've found you the series you'll understand this difference). Speaking of clues, I forgot to look for clues in the first seven caches so before I go back to Canberra in a couple of days I'll need to revisit the area to grab the numbers and the bonus, plus attempt two DNFs within very close walking distance. A lovely series with some funky containers. TFTC Youban!

Awesomeness

Out on my bike to clear the lower Bengello trail plus a couple of others. Happy to say I was successful with 16 finds. I also refound the whole series because I didn't write down the numbers for the final last time. However even after doing the whole trail I could find the value for D. Luckily my guess was successful and I soon had gz. TFTC Youban!

My battery died, but we found it with Short_Teas phone!

We were sneaking about for this one when a passer buy stopped for a chat. Hurntmaster is a local geocacher and gave us some great tips. Looking forward to exploring the region further. Tftc

A quick find. I have done a longer log on number one and 22. TFTC

Got it

I'm fond of barking up the wrong tree.

With ACT residents no being able to travel to an area around the capital including the coast, it was time to plan a trip. There was a good sized group where we were going to base in Moruya for three days. I traveled with Sol de Lune and Smitten Granny. Others were Cosmonaut97, Kitty Katch, Joolay, Barb2e, fitzy_1965 & MinnieK. Most logs were signed Kapital Krunchers. We had a great weekend of lots of caching in fantastic weather. Day two was more caches around Moruya, we were joined by My Windy who was also holidaying on the coast. We started with south of the river with a walk and then down to the heads for the low tide caches. After lunch it was North of the heads and surprisingly there was enough time to finish the Bengello walk and the airport caches.

After walking from Pendragon to the coast track for a third time, we worked out way south back to the airport for these remaining walk caches. One DNF along the way.

Thanks for the cache Youban

A weekend down the coast for our group from Canberra and this was now day 2. Most logs were signed as Capital Crunchers....

Having left the main group for a while, Smittengranny, Albida and I set out to finish this walk and series. Found all but one of the caches. A neat walk that wasn't too taxing at almost the end of our day....and it was great to finish the series.

Thanks for another Youban....

A great group of cachers from Canberra known as the Capital Crunchers have come down to this area for a long weekend of fun and caching. This is Day 2 and we have been blessed with the weather and the multitude of incredible caches .

Sol de Lune, Albida and i have left the main group and are attacking this trail as the group has completed the list of caches that we were targeting today.

Wow now I understand a conversation that I had earlier with dty73.

Thanks for this trail Youban. SL

Good find!

Found

Thanks

Quick find, good spot

Find Number 2270 found at 11:38. Today we found 15 caches and had 2 DNFs. This was the 7th find today

The weather forecast was good so Tony decided to head down to Moruya try to complete the Bengello
Walk series. Any other cache would be a bonus.

This one was a bit more tricky. I had to stand and look in quite a few spots before it revealed itself.

The cache was in good condition. We signed the log (sometimes we sign micro logs with G&T or GT) and replaced the container as found

Thanks Youban for the cache.

Hard to see well camourflaged

Great find:)

No worries here! Lots of wrens around - very sweet. Tftc

I’m sure I missed the obvious on this one...

Ride or walk - we chose the first option and enjoyed one of the best geo trails we have experienced. Cleverly constructed, well hidden caches with clear mystery numbers kept our focus. We were asked a couple of times by passing muggles if we were OK!!

Thanks Youban for creating this excellent trail.

ok

These are great hides. Found !

Wow

In the area for a few days away pre Christmas, any excuse to geocache really. Took the bike and the geodog and peddled from Tomakin to the numerical start of the trail.

I usually hate micro caches but this trail was fantastic. The creativity of the containers was excellent, coords were great and caches were easy to find when you knew what to look for but well hidden if you weren’t looking.

The clues for the mystery cache were easy to find even if you weren’t looking.

Unfortunately we weren’t able to log the mystery today as it’s closer to the Moruya Heads end. Geodog was running out of steam and I didn’t want to make her do another 6-8km (it was already an 18km return trip).

This is easily the best series I’ve done. Well done Youban.

Géo husband happy as he found one b4 me

Thanks

Yay

Found it!

Gotcha - Found with a bit of searching. Tftc

Battery now down to 13 % and I must admit, my batteries also need replenishing, I am getting a little hungry, as it is after 12.30pm, but still a way to go. Soldier on! TFTC Youban

Walked from the airport to broulee and found all the caches in between. It was a overcast day, beaches closed due to soot from the fires but other than that a great walk exploring this part of the world. Finding the first few from the airport side was a challenge as some caches i found on the ground, being held up by nothing than a fishing line its no wonder. The bengello walk caches were slightly different, a hide id never seen before, but very creative so once i got the hide style, i cached quite quickly with my muggle bro. At bengello creek it was flooded past the walk-bridge so walked back to car, drove to broulee end and walked in the opposite direction. A good day trip from the ACT, thanks Youban. TFTC

Again another nest of ants

sjg66 and I headed down to do what we could do to support the local business after this summers fires have robbed them of their summer revenue. Staying at the Broulee Caravan park this series was an obvious choice so we packed the bikes. We had a pleasant morning riding the trail and calling in on a few of the beach access points. The containers are excellent as was the puzzle which we picked up the clues for. TFTC.

Staying at the Broulee caravan park for a few days so headed off on the bikes to collect some caches. TFTC

Signed DSD with Loci612 today. Great little series

I love discovering Geocaches, Trackable items and collecting Pathtags. I have added your cache to my growing list of “Found It” logs. I hope that you enjoy Geocaching as much as I do. For me geocaching is a way of life. When I am not Geocaching, I am thinking of Geocaching. I would like to say a very big than you for placing your geocache and for maintaining it for the Geocaching Community. In 2019, I won the right to place a Virtual 2.0 Cache from Geocaching.com, but I have not placed it yet. I am just trying to find somewhere that is worthy of a Virtual Cache.

Here is a little information about me. I have been geocaching since 2015. At the time of finding this cache I have over 5600 finds plus 340 hides. I am the creator of the “Duck Dip” Lab Cache that won 2nd Place for the Australian Capital Territory in the State Vs State - Battle of the Lab Caches at the OzGeoMuster - The Gong Mega 2019 in Wollongong, Australia.

Now let’s talk Pathtags. Currently I have over 4600 Pathtags in my collection plus about 500 Etagz. I currently have two of my own Pathtags (45762 & 46950) with another one in the works.

Myself and DSD decided to come for a day trip down to Batemans Bay + Moruya to grab some of the new caches which have popped up this way. After some awesome caches so far, we decided to hit this trail.

Started off slightly slow before getting the hang of it and smashing through them fairly quickly. Most caches were found quickly with the BOT hint, but two of the caches which had hint's such as "Grass" and "Fern's" took us quite some time to find. I believe there was even DNF before us but with two sets of eyes, persistance and brilliant coords, all caches were found safely Enjoyed this walk today and all the caches that came with it!

We forgot to look for clues on the first 5 caches before realising, but turns out it wasn't an issue and we still managed to locate the final mystery without a problem!

Thanks Youban!
