Found, needs new bag for log

Sydney to Adelaide cargo runDay Two: Goulburn to CorowaWeather: grey and rainy and wet underfootThis style of hide has been the order of the day, and I should be approaching grand master level by now. However I failed to find a cache here. I suppose for completeness I should have checked the other end, but that would have meant the coordinates are way out. Nobody else seems to have struggled to find this cache. I reached out to the CO and was given permission to replace the cache. Im not in my own car on this trip, and supplies are meagre. I have replaced with a micro containing a partly used log (a throw down confiscated from an earlier location) and hope that this will suffice until somebody better equipped passes by if not the CO himself. Thanks to DARKSIDEDAN for the cache placement and for helping me to avoid a dreaded interstate DNF here. I hate those.

nice and easy to mark my overnight stay at Gunning!

Found by Mary and David at 09:30. Full marks for your research about Gunning, and a FP. Our thanks to DARKSIDEDAN.

A quick find on a lovely autumn afternoon. Thanks for the cache DARKSIDEDAN

Reperio 16:09Day 5 of our Capital GeoBash mega event trip to Canberra with Miss Vitruvius, and today it was time to head home, but not before finding plenty of caches.

While traveling from Geelong to Brisbane via the Hume I stopped and grabbed caches where I could.
As I was driving up the Hume Hwy I noticed Gunning had a little cluster of caches so I took the turn off and found a few of them.
An easy find while driving around town.

Put a call out to Rapidlywild to see if she wanted to join us on a tiki tour to attended 3 events and a CITO and a munzee event thrown in for good measure in rural NSW also picking up any new caches that had popped up since we were last out and about.

Another quick one here.

Thanks for the hide DARKSIDEDAN and thanks for the fun day out Rapidlywild.

The FFLL ladies reached out to see if I had any plans for today, of which I didnt, so I was kindly invited along for a mini adventure around the NSW rural areas for some caches and some events, sounds like fun So we coordinated a set off time and made our way north. We collected a few caches here and there and attended 3 events plus a CITO in a fun filled day.

Hmm I wonder where this one could be

Cache signed and replaced as found. Thanks for the placement DSD and thanks to the FFLL ladies for the invited for another fun filled mini adventure I sure do miss these little day trips that we used to have, hopefully more to come

Found with barb2e before the first event of the day - breakfast in Gunning.

Clever hiding spot!!

Although there was plenty of caching still to be done around Yass it was time to move on. We will be back.
We set off for Gunning, only a short trip. The day started cold and a bit foggy, but the sun soon came through and set up the best day we have had for some time weather wise.
There were a few Traditionals to be had en route as well as some Flags of the World as well as the caches we had not found in Gunning. After lunch we headed out to Jerrawa and Dalton where we got 2 Earthcaches.
A bigger day than we had initially planned for, but you cant waste the good weather!

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache DARKSIDEDAN.

After the busy (and wet) summer had finished, The Rats floated the idea of a trip to the area around Canberra and Yass with Steeba and myself. We compared diaries, and had a two day mid-week window where we could make things happen, in the week wedged between Easter and ANZAC Day.

The weather was on our side for the first time in I forget how long, and we were able to make the most of our time opportunity.

A lot of excellent caches were found, and some fantastic terrain caches too. A few power trails, some crafty hides, some hard hides, and even some climbs that I could not do... even with our ladder!

Thank you to all of the cache owners for placing their hides. This boiler plate log does not reflect the quality of the hides. Most importantly thanks as always to my two great caching mates for their company!

Cheers

The Rats, Hoojar and myself teamed up for an assault in and around the Yass area for a couple of days- a most enjoyable caching trip with my mates. Plenty of power trail type finds but a lot of great variety here and there, particularly around Yass itself. We started off on Wednesday night and finished up Friday afternoon. TFTC!

The Gong Gangsters (steeba, Hoojar and The Rats) took advantage of an extended Easter / Anzac break to head out for another caching juggernaut through the Southern Highlands and Yass regions. Blessed with beautiful weather we targeted a few powertrails and high D/T rated caches.

After 2 full days we'd collected a plethora of finds, made some new friends, laughed alot, pushed our bodies beyond the comfortable level and most of all - had a great time with mates. Thanks to all the CO's for your caches and those who tagged along.

Nice quick park and grab for us today. Tftc

Took the opportunity to clear up some of the series from Gunning heading westbound next to the Hume. All attempted were quickly found and in good condition. Thanks for placing and maintaining this series DSD.
