No luck for us here today- and looks like a new guardrail.

TFTC, found it on the ground, container needs replacing as its cracking.Caching on the way back to Sydney after Woolfest in Boorowa and we missed these 2 last time.

Travelling back to ACT from east Gippsland VIC and Wagga, this cache was along the way. Hume is one busy hwy and this particular guard rail cache seems to be missing. Its one of those new guard rails

Found by Mary and David at 14:20. Don't think either of us would like this kind. Our thanks to DARKSIDEDAN.

Exciting times over the next couple of weeks as we takeoff for the Capital GeoBash in Canberra! Its going to be a flood of Sandgropers over east, with a host of West Aussies making the trek east for the event. Im travelling with fellow Cockburn Crew members Leg5 and Barnzy12, starting in Sydney and hitting the road to Canberra, before returning back to Sydney. Honourary mention to our fellow member, Cravo10, who couldnt make it after recently introducing a new geocacher to the world the week prior. Once in Canberra, the agenda is set, well team up with a host of Western Australians to conquer caches. Collectively, were hoping to make it the biggest ever weekend for cache finding. Following the event, the journey continues back to Sydney, with a mission to clean up caches and new Local Government Areas (LGAs), ensuring no cache is left unturned in this epic geocaching adventure. Something tells me that well need a holiday after this, well, holiday. We have commenced our raid on Yass. All logs have been signed as WA to save space, abbreviation for our team of cachers from Western Australia, who are cleaning up the series together. Cheers DARKSIDEDAN! Join us in Augusta, in Western Australias South West, for WA Goes Big 2024 (GCAGV8Y) on Friday 20 to Sunday 22 September. Log your will attend now!

Out and about again, headed around Canberra for the MEGA. Super excited my first MEGA and heading over with 2 others from the Cockburn Crew. Today we are out with a group from Western Australia and signing the log as WA to save time and log space.This is 15177, hoping to clock over the 15,000 finds in the week in New South Wales and ACT.Thanks to DARKSIDEDAN for the caches we found.OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024Head over to Australian Capital Territory for Capital GeoBash MEGA - Canberras first ever Mega Event.

We stopped in Yass and completed some high quality caches before venturing back to the trails. We completed a huge number of trails, challenges, whereigos, traditional, multis, earthcaches, labs, virtuals and puzzles. It really was a great day for variety. We enjoyed caching in territory we havent been before. Weve filled our boots with some rare DTs and DTTs and generally had a great time. Thanks to the COs for a great day and event. Logs signed as part of team WA/WAC (WA Crew)

On my way to the Mega, day three. Leaving Cootamundra and making my way across to Goulburn.Doing odd caches along the way.Not so keen on these caches along the main highway. Get pushed around a bit when the big trucks blast past.Thanks, Robmc.

Pulled off the highway for a quick find and log of the cache. TFTC.

Today we moved to Yass, staying for a few days.We chose to cache around Bowing this included the ALThis was a great way to visit the area,Thanks DARKSIDEDAN for hiding this cache.

TFTC smile out and about on a lovely day having a great time finding a few caches on our way to Canberra today signing as 5 for Qld Hatzofff Snickersallan ? RoddyC Imbunda ,? what a great team we made and lots of laughter and fun Thank you DARKSIDEDAN for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Day out in Yass and surrounds. Cloudy and cool afternoon. Able to come away with 35 finds around the area today. Signed and replaced. Tftc.

Thanks.

Recently, I discovered that I needed a lot more caches that have D/T rating of 1.5/1.5 so that I could claim a Challenge Cache. Those ratings are not of the kind that I would normally target, but today, I did. Having not picked up as many as I would have wished while doing the ES series, I turned my attention to a group of DSD's caches that I knew would be true to their rating. This was one of them, and I thank the CO for placing and maintaining these caches. All logs that were found were in good condition. SL

A straightforward find here today - thanks, DSD!

Quick find on our way through. TFTC DARKSIDEDAN.

Nice drive picking up caches in the country. TFTC

Simple cache thanks

Easy find.

Spent some time caching in the area.
Signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for placing this cache, DARKSIDEDAN,
and for us and others to find.

I was out and about and came across this cache to find, today. I’m slowly finding the caches, east from home. At the moment, I’m mostly focusing on the caches between Binalong and the ACT border. Finding this cache certainly has certainly helped with this mission. As I am catching up with my logging, I’m not exactly sure how long it took to find or remember what type of cache it was but I certainly enjoyed finding it all the same. Also, I have back dated this log to the day I found it. When I signed the cache, **it was either signed as JM or JohnoMawbs**. This was due to the size or amount of space on the logsheet/book. TB visit. I would like to thank the CO of this cache for placing it and for allowing it to bring the Geocaching community enjoyment. TFTC!

Long and boring drive home after two great days at the mega in Rutherglen. Would have loved to stay longer but work is calling Easter Sunday. Grabbed whatever I could on the way.

With FFLL#2 heading off for a hike today, FFLL#1 and I decided to go get some challenges and some cruiser stuff. We wanted a nice easy day today with the expected heat so we chose a couple small trails to do and just took our time wandering the back roads. We had a good day today, unfortunately a lot of the caches we found today are in desperate need of CO attention as heaps were complete mush and covered in black mould. We had a successful day all in all, we did replace one cache with the CO's permission after an extensive search resulted in no find and there were prior DNF's. We also placed a few temp small logs until the CO can replace the containers and logs.

Thanks for the fun day out FFLL#1, love the mini adventures we go on and thanks to the CO's for the cache placements for us to find.

Hatched a plan with Rapidlywild to head out to north Yass to attack a couple of trails while the other half of our team was hiking up some crazy hills. We took today slow and steady and found all caches we attempted except for one but with the Co's permission we replaced this one for them. There were a lot of wet and soggy logs on our journey which could probably do with some TLC as the plastic containers used don't seem to be water tight. Small replacement logs in bags were placed in containers where the old log book was just too wet and mouldy to sign.

After heading into Yass for something to eat we decided to continue our journey as the heat that we thought was meant to come had turned into a cloud over. So back on the trails and we had a successful afternoon of caching to match the morning run.

Picked this one up on our journey back home.

Thanks for the hide DARKSIDEDAN and thanks for a fun day out in the country side Rapidlywild.

Found easily...I did not run into any snags. Sorry, but not sorry. Dad jokes are my super power. TFTC

After a wet and difficult day yesterday, today was bright, sunny and cold. I decided a short road trip to Binalong and back to Yass would be a fun way to get some caches for the day. The caches in Binalong were a challenge and the field maths for the multi too much for me, but I managed four others before getting some caches along the Hume. My next area was Yass valley way from North of Yass back to the Barton highway. One was missing in that set and two in tress I could not climb without a ladder. I then grabbed one last one on the Barton Highway before heading home for a late lunch.

I felt very exposed at this location and I am glad there was not too much traffic on the Highway today. The cache was found quickly so that was good.

Thanks for the cache DARKSIDEDAN

We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

A fun find in the fading daylight during a numbers run with fitzy. So wet around here !

Thanks DSD.

28,425. Found with minniek during an afternoon/evening drive grabbing a few caches.

We (well - I) needed a few caches today to keep up with an ongoing self imposed calendar challenge, so we headed out for an afternoon/evening run around north of Yass. Familiar roads led us to each cache on our list, and we even visited a cemetery that we hadn't visited before. By now we were heading home, but some convenient guard caches let us/me get to our required number for the day. This cache was a quick find once at the actual GZ. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off home.

Thanks DSD !! Heading home now for dinner. For some reason I feel like having sausages...

Up in the area for a little caching and a few FTF opportunities with Tankengine, dty73 and Youban. We met up with AngelG27 and TikvaNZ early in the morning also out for the same idea so all continued on together. Lovely sunny day to be out along the trails, although a little chilly to start with earlier! Thanks for the cache!

Found with AngelG27, TikvaNZ, Tankengine, Aquilus1 and Youban.

What to do on a Saturday? Go for a road trip to pick up a few caches! Tftc!!!

Chooo ooo [found] with dty73 Aquilus1 and youban! - Nice find here! Thanks DARKSIDEDAN!
