WLS #57 Wilton, New South Wales, Australia
By ozgeomuster on 01-Jan-19. Waypoint GC87GH6

Time for this one to retire.

Thought we would it anyway. Nothing at GZ

With Bedlem2. No luck for us either

Should have been #4 on my morning Wilton WLS cleanup.
No where to be seen after a lengthy search.
TFTC

Like the cacher before us, we arrived at GZ and had a really good look around.
2 pairs of eyes didn't spot anything resembling a cache.

Cache appears to be missing.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Late logging, must have missed this in the first logging.
Thanks.

Collected the info at the Waypoint then drove along to GZ.
I knew I was in the correct location due to the trampled area where the GPS was pointing me but after 25 minutes of slow careful searching I left without a smilie.

Having sat on the answers to this fun geoart trail for too long, today was the day we finally managed to get out on the hunt. It also worked well to coincide with the Mystery at the Museum challenge.

Nice to see a multi in the GeoArt.

Quickly gathered the req'd info, worked the numbers and took a short drive to GZ

TFTC

OCW the Bebes to clear the lighthouse that we didn’t get the chance to do at the mega. After getting the numbers required and quick solve had us at GZ. Tftc

Ok, we admit it, we are not good at these kinds of hides. But, eventually, there it was, right in front of DD’s nose! TFTC

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. ????????

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one of the list

some others and I found this cache whilst out and about. I am now catching up from some geocache logging after the ozgeomuster and the rest of the weeks full of geocaching. TFTC co's. i apologize for all of the generic logs

Thanks to everyone involved in the creation of this geoart! While I plotted the shape & wrote a lot of puzzles from back home in Brisbane, it was a team effort all around. I was very happy to finally get onsite and see it in the field.. thanks to:
Kyzabra for numbers 1-4
Burgo for number 7, 18, 19, 56
Seemyshell for the final placements and coordinate collection &
MizMaz for local support fixing them up as best we could!
I grabbed all the art, (except the challenges under my geoname) over the course of the weekend! As usual. My fav part of mega geoart is bumping into other cachers in the field

Enjoying my time at the OZmega and having a look at the Wooloongong area.

Caught up with AyKayEm and we hatched plans to do as many of the Lighthouse series as we could this afternoon, before returning to camp for the talks and talent quest.

We decided to go out and do some more of the series this evening and were merrily on our way when we confronted by a barricade on the other side of Appin. Oh no!! Disaster!!

In spite of numerous large signs warning not to, someone who should not have been in charge of a fully loaded B-double, but was, decided to take one through the Broughton Pass, getting it stuck and wrecking the narrow bridge guardrail. As there is a tight hairpin bend at each end of the bridge, the wonder of it all was that he managed to get the truck to the bridge to damage it!

What that meant for us, was to go halfway to Sydney and then come back down on another road to reach the caching area. It involved an extra 55 km each way as well as the extra time and petrol.

Cursing the idiot driver, we did the looong detour and eventually ended up on the same side of the pass as the caches. We visited 16 caches tonight before again taking the looong detour back to camp, creeping in sometime after 3am.

TFTC ozgeomuster??

I was up here for the OZGeomuster, went to the CITO with echocage1, then we decided to head out and find a few of the lighthouse caches before the late afternoon seminars. After the seminars, and the evening talent show, we decided to head out for some night time adventures, and find some more lighthouse caches. We didn't get far before we had to "do a youey" and go the rather long way around to get to the area - thanks to some idiot who thought it would be a good idea to ignore all the large "No heavy vehicles beyond this point" signs, and somehow manage to drive a B double around the hairpin bend and onto the bridge, where he got stuck, and destroyed the gaurd rails in the process ... (and as a result, the road was closed for the night, and for at least another day or more, meaning I also had to take the long way home from the Mega as well). We had fun, until we eventually decided we should head back to camp and get at least some sleep - we arrived back at camp after 3am (oops? lol)
TFTC - Sorry for the mostly generic logs, but (as far as finding them went) these were mostly generic caches - lol
(I did scribble some notes for a couple of caches, so I am including those at the end of the log, where relevant ... )

I felt right at home at GZ ... Was just like being at home, doing a Tankengine cache

Kotuku_SI and I were staying at the same Motel so discussed what we would do today. As I head back home later this afternoon we decided to park up in Wilton with my car and she drove round finding caches in the lighthouse geo-art for as long as possible till I needed to head to the airport in Sydney. This was the first of 19 we managed today.

K C N & I set off this morning to find as many of the WLS series as we could before she had to fly back to NZ.
This was our 1st find - eventually - after detouring through Campbelltown (a truck crashed on a bridge at Broughton Pass). A quick find after the necessary calculations.
Thanks for this cache and the series; greetings from Christchurch.

Found it as part of Team NZ Mega 2020..

Found the first WP quickly and the final took us a bit of search as GPS was jumping around. TFTC

Day 4: A group of Westies (rustynz, harisree, Gorby, FMZ and Agazo - temporary Westie visa holder), are in Australia from NZ to attend the OZGeoMuster MEGA in Wollongong. All logs have been signed NZMEGA 2020

After attending the CITO, and finding an Earthcache and a couple of traditional caches, it is time, it is time to come back and look for some more puzzles in the Wollongong Lighthouse Series of hides

We drove to the published co-ords, and was soon calculating some numbers and on our way to the final. The GPS bounced a bit, so I was searching in the wrong place, thankfully Agazo called out those magical words "found it"

Found this one with team NZ MEGA 2020 as we were passing through completing the lighthouse geoart series. TFTC!!!

#9351 - 10:40:00 AM; Another run along Sutton Road today to continue the mission and top up the find count for 27 June. Managed five from six on the mission today, but will have to return for #19 when there is a little more light. All were in good order, although some logs are pretty full after the recent Mega crowds came through! TFTC ozgeomuster

Did multi on our caching afternoon with Sensible Shoes and Little Shoes. TFTC.

I always like a bit of geoart, and particularly am a fan of those utilizing multiple cache types. There was a good range of caches within each type too, showing a lot of effort had been put into the cache design. So this was a clear must grab while attending the OZGM. Did not take too long to grab these, with the traces of increased foot traffic over the weekend lending a hand for a couple of hides. TFTC!

### Mega OZGeomuster 2019 The Gong ###
—-

We’ve solved many mysteries prior attending the event.
We’ve encountered some difficulties but we’ve got help from some nice cachers.
Today was the day! We’ve stated early and were able to find all of the lighthouse tour caches

Thank you for the nice caches
Team sissifalke

Today we were out to try and get all the lighthouse series and others finished before we head back home tomorrow morning after enjoying the 3 days of the Oz GeoMuster. It has been an awesome few days. This was the 22nd find for the day. Thanks for the fun

Find #101 on our geocation to the Mega at Cataract Park via Canberra for a couple of nights.

This was #22 of 54 for the day. Nice easy multi and a quick find at GZ.

Thanks

The required information was obtained and while Mrs Shifter was dong some calculations Mr Shifter headed off to the nearby letterbox caches, we then returned to find the cache for this one.
Thanks for the hide ozgeomuster.

Last day of the Mega event so it’s fitting I finish off this series. Had about 20 to do and the effort was sped up thanks to Muppet who knew the locations much better than I did.
As I thought of the first haul I had for this series there were many questionable GZs but I still managed to safely get the smilies... kind of.

Found while attending Oz Geo Muster 2019, TFTC.

Headed down to the OZGeomuster 2019 The Gong Mega Event early Sunday morning, with an overnight stay at a farm B&B in Wilton on Sunday night, and then returning home on Monday afternoon. We will be concentrating our efforts on collecting the Wollongong Lighthouse Series geoart placements located around Wilton, after the Family’s chief puzzle solver managed to solve most of the geoart puzzles (without seeking or accepting any assistance), but will also see how many Lab caches we can complete. This was the 16th of 32 finds for the day, and the 63rd of 79 finds for our Mega weekend.

This Multi-Cache was the next one we came to and, after grabbing the required information from WP1, we did the computations and headed off to final GZ for a nice quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC ozgeomuster.

Find #3244

Data collection for this multi was straightforward. Then it was off to GZ where the combination of accurate coordinates, the hint and a familiar object in plain view led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks ozgeomuster for the well constructed short multi.

Here for the OzGeoMuster with 3Ferrets. Out and about today, little bit overcast but still lovely to see this beautiful city. Log book dry. TB’s visited. TFTCSL Thanks ozgeomuster

Found on day 3 of Ozgm19. Tfth

A Fantastic event, seeing many friends, and making new ones - Bumping into cachers everywhere we went - a great time. First time in a swag too.. I now want my own!

It was my second mega - but the first one where I stayed on site

Caches were found, and with the exception of one or two, most were easily found and in great condition

I’m over in Sydney for work and managed to add a couple of days to hit the OZGM.
Teaming up today with Gunnie69 and Ghostgums, we made our way down from Sydney to Wollongong, collecting a number of solved puzzles and other caches on the way. Teamed up today with Sharkiefan as well for today’s run.
This was one of them.

Many thanks to ozgeomuster for placing and maintaining WLS #57. Apologies for the generic log. Log signed as GGKS

Thanks ozgeomuster for placing this geocaches 7162 find for me. Others went to the flashmob. Us four are continuing.

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.

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. We made a small error in the coords and had to pull over and do the maths again. Quick find after that. Thank you.

On the lighthouse trail again this afternoon, Team BLAKR consisting of Aussieben, kingfisher_au, Banj Ward and the beary_unicorns and us. Another quick 21 finds to the weekends bag, we only stopped as the kids were tired and it was getting dark....
I climbed up a couple of metres in a tree to look in a void near GZ. I peered in, and could make out a shape in the depths.... as my eyes became accustomed I saw the little face of a possum looking back at me - scared me enough to almost knock me out of the tree!
TFTC!

Out for a drive to finish off this series after running out of time and light last night

Thanks ozgeomuster for WLS #57

Find # 8227

Found while up at the Gong event.
Solved what we could as a team before the trip up. But I had to go out n find "the Light House art" alone.

Did have the occasional meet up with others out in the field. Thankfully some of those were when the caches became elusive to find.

Thanks to those who gave me a ton of help with the Wherigos. Much appreciated. One day I might get the hang of them.

Found with Gunnie69, Kyzabra and Ghostgums. Log signed as KGGS or GGKS.

The day took an unexpected turn and I ended up going with the guys rather than sitting around getting bored waiting around, after a communication snafu with my moody travel buddy.

These puzzles were all solved at home except for some of the wherigos where i was just a lucky tourist.

I was grateful for the ride as some of the parking spots were not safe but we were able to grab the whole series.

The morning was great fun with laughter, jokes, lollies, a pair of ripped jeans and catch ups with other cachers.

Thanks for the interesting puzzles, the series and the weekend. Tftc

Day two of our OzGeomuster event weekend and this series was the target. Off to a very foggy start as Kyzabra, Ghostgums and I left Sydney, we swung by the event site to pick up sharkiefan, the fourth member of our hunting team for today. [^]

With a mapped plan of attack, we took took to the road and quickly ticked caches off the list, completing the entire series in a little under three hours. We only had a visit from one local, who was an elderly guy and very happy to come and chat with us, as he asked "is this the game thing I have heard about".

Thanks to all the hiders who put the caches in place, the puzzle makers, the WherIGo compilers and anyone else involved in this GeoArt. A job well done and a great morning on the trails.

To conserve log space, we signed each log book as GGKS (Gunnie69, Ghostgums, Kyzabra and sharkiefan).

Cheers ozgeomuster folk.

Finalf29 and I were off to the Mega to finally get the Lab Caches... success when a friend finally got my app working properly!

We meet up here with some friends... zorax88 and Tardis1322. Quickly found and crunched the numbers, then soon had cache in hand. Thanks

Such fun chasing a revolving light house.

Found on a visit to the east to attend the OZGeomuster 2019 The Gong with my geo mate endeavour3. Much silliness and fun was had over many kilometres of safe driving and long walks. There was some rain, mud, clouds but mostly clear blue skies and hellos to lots of geo friends from all around.

Thanks to ozgeomuster and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Day 2 of the OzGeoMuster 2019 Mega weekend in Wollongong. After swinging by the mega site and picking up sharkiefan, we made our way to Appin to tackle the WLS series. It was a morning of great fun and frivolity as we made our around and grabbed the caches in the series. When completed we headed back into Appin, grabbed some lunch at the local bakery. Then it was time for us to make our way back to Sydney and grab our flight home.

Signed the log book for ‘GGKS’ for Ghostgums, Gunnie69, Kyzabra and sharkiefan, to help save logbook space on the very busy weekend.

Thanks ozgeomuster for putting out the cache to make a great a great mega weekend!

Went out to hit the geo art and get a few smilies. All caches were found with a few being harder than others and with a few exceptions the puzzle solving was done and enjoyed. Great series and thanks to all who put in for the end result.

In town for the oz geo muster 2019 The Gong. Enjoying the town. Enjoying the caches. Thanks for the great event and cache.

Thanks ozgeomuster for the cache.

We flew to Sydney from Bendigo on the new direct flights, hired a car and drove down to Wollongong to attend the muster.

Today we went for a drive to Pt Kembla for a look and didn't have much luck caching wise and then headed out to collect some of the WLS, didn't have much luck there either.
Thanks for contributing to the fun ozgeomuster

Went out caching today with ilook4geo and Paul_the_Hippy. Managed to complete the lighthouse series with only the occasional one that took a bit longer. Met quite a few cachers along the way, which was really good. Logs were signed or stamped and we moved on. Thanks to ozgeomuster for placing this series of caches.

We pulled up and got some numbers but the checksum didn’t match. So we drove around the corner and got a different set of numbers that did match the coordinates. When we arrived at GZ, the cache was already in a cacher’s hand. They handed it to use and left. We signed and returned to its hook. Thanks for the cache
