Road Rage Loftus, New South Wales, Australia
By Sky Dog on 18-May-05. Waypoint GCNZ92

Sorry guys. I went down there a few days ago to check it and, yes indeed, it is gornn..

Not sure who would be poking their nose around in there anyway. Now that they have decided to keep the road closed, there is not a lot of raging going on anymore, and all the interesting signs have been taken down.

There are not many other redeeming features of this cache, so I'll archive it.

Aarrhg.. teach me not to read the logs, wasted 30 mins of my day off hunting around for it.
Needs a check , or disable the cache entry.

Unfortunately we were unable to find this cache. Found the place exactly as described in the hint, but nothing was there. I'm afraid this one might have been muggled.

There aren't that many rocks around and the likely hiding spot is empty. This means 3 TB's are MIA

Searched for 10-15 minutes to no avail....Ah well. Only miss of the day walking from Sutherland Station. Regards from San Carlos, California. tv

We couldn't find it. We saw a very likely spot that matched the clue description but there was nothing there. Hopefully it was just us but it did seem like it may have gone walkies? Interesting spot though.

Interesting neighbourhood! It would have been nice to access Woronora Heights from here, but we can certainly understand why the locals wouldn't want that. TNLNSL Thank you for a cache right in the middle of such a formerly heated battle zone Sky Dog!

Short little walk near dark, and an easy find. Cheers Gav [2835]

Found this one with Moneydork, Tofska and Rediguana during our Australian caching holiday.

Found by the youngest member of our team. TFTC

[ quick find today, just as well as the only other two I did today were DNFs, The roads around here are strange, very narrow in places... TFTC TNLNSL]

easy find

Pushed on up the hill and straight to the cache. Thanks

As I produced the cache geokid 2 calls out muggle. Young kid heading down the hill on a scate board boy did he pick up speed. As we headed back up the hill (yes we parked at the top) Two bike riders came racing down the hill at high speed.Road may be closed but boy it's busy.
JABs.

Dropped by this previously found cache on my way UP the road to another new nearby cache.
Swapped a geocoin while I was here.
Still a very nice area.

This was the easiest find and perhaps the easiest terrain for the day - left coin

One of my favourite morning walks along the fire trail. Nice to see the fire trail is now environmentally protected by the state government and to be kept as a wild life corridore.
Took Playing Cards
Left Copy of State Govt Media release advising the fire trail is environmentally protected.

found without to much trouble. cheers

yeah was a bloody hot day easy find once the GPS settled down.

nice cache hasn't been visited for a while by the look of things. TNLN

Nice easy find, first one of the afternoon walking my dog on our way to another 'near-by' cache. It's good to see all the lobbying payed off in the end. tnln

First of ten caches for the day nice walk done from the heights quick find but first had to fight off the red back cache guardian then once she was removed signed the log. TNLNSL TFTC

We stopped half way up the ridiculously steep hill and I almost missed this one. I searched for a while with a bit of help from Sky Dog, but eventually found it.

Yep.......definately a cache.

Everything in good condition considrering the damp conditions.

Odlid Dave

nice easy cache to find and quick frippy took travel bug and i took the whissel and left something but i forget

This one was way to easy.. Nice easy walk down the hill from the heights.. Took Travel Bug.. This was our 2nd of 5 or so Caches for the day.. Thanks will pass the bug on.

As the first-to-find-with-new-coordinates, I followed the arrow on my GPS and looked in a likely spot when the distance said 0m. It looks like the signs have been taken down since the locals got their way. An easy find, just as the owner intended. Left Lizie the TB.

Distance From Old: 45.3 feet
Since a few complained that co-ords were out slightly I used my new GPS (well it's 6 months old) and averaged the co-ords for quite a while. The GPS showed 0m when I was standing on GZ. My unit is a Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx with a SiRF chip set so there should be no more rage about the co-ords being inaccurate.

A nice easy find, probably the easiest for the day and very welcome. Thanks Sky Dog.

Stumbled across this one in the early afternoon. Nice and simple

Took the Cache Hiker Geocoin, left a deck of cards.

Pretty easy cache when had the right spot to look in. Final GZ was a bit off where I was looking (well not too far really) but decided to change tack and cache located. Thanks. TNLNSL.

Found easily got lots of those little spicky things on me. TFTC

Dropped off Sourdough Sam TB

La Perouse and I were out and about and this was reported to be an easy cache so it was just the ticket. We drove and parked and walked. The technology let us down at first yet we were right in our guess for the likely spot. TFTC

3 pm. Teamed with D_Mawson. His GPS apparatus (bluetooth connection to hi-class PDA) kept crashing, so we used my little Garmin Fortrex - yesterday's technology. As we approached GZ, mine suddenly indicated a reciprocal course - and then froze solid. Puzzlement until we realised it had flat batteries! But his came alive and we made a quick find. Thanks, Sky Dog. Well stocked cache.

Found it after a bit of a search, GPSr played havoc around here.
TNSL left spider

I parked at the top and headed down through the Wildlife Corridor in order to grab this cache and some more in the area.

Cheers!

We decided to duck out after work and try to add a couple of extra caches to our done list. This looked nice and easy, and it didn't dissappoint.

We had the cache in our hands by 6:40pm, and just had to play innocent as a couple of muggles walked past.

Co-ords were a bit out, but the description gave evything away. Sherri's first find.

A great little stroll. TNLN.

Thanks Sky Dog

As mentioned in the cache, this is a nice, easy, and quick cache. I enjoyed the drive in - its a beautiful area. No swap was made. Thanks for the cache.

Walkrd down from the top and soon found, thanks for brining us here

keener

For someone as intelligent as Uncle Sky Dog, the simplicity of this task is somewhat surprising. Nonetheless, a good way to build up log points. TNLN. TFTC.

The co-ords had me about 15mtrs away but the clue had me on the cache in no time.

Took The Gymea Rover Crew on an outing to find this one. Nice hide. L duck T Dolphin.

Nice hide. Good swaps. Thanks Sky Dog.

Nice quick find ater a really delicious lunch in the beer garden at the RSL. TFTC Sky Dog.

quick and easy ,sat in the car while the kids went and got it.

Got up early this freezing cold morning to go caching, ice all over the windscreen. Got this one. Nice easy find.
TNLN
thanx

third time lucky.

After finding Muddy's First, Bethany and I figured we'd keep going a little further to find Road Rage. Found the location easily enough, but it took Bethany's sharp eyes to spot the cache after I had already looked in that area (I'm finding kids to be very useful for caching!).

TNLN.

Thanks for the cache!
best wishes,
Wal & Bethany

Dropped off Sky-high Skippy TB

Not happy that we had to walk a little further up the hill, just kidding. Found it with smell of smoke still in the air due a recent hazard reduction. TNLN
Thanks SkyDog

Great cache guys.TNLN

Gps took me down the gully, but after a bit of searching i got it. Lucky to survive the last local back-burn of the bush, there's a plant that's within a metre that is burnt.

We had the luxury of a guided tour of Sky Dog's caches today, with the cache owner. We did this one after an extremely pleasant afternoon cruising on the nearby river.
Gary followed the GPS, while Liz went to the obvious place, and found it. A fascinating piece of local-body politics. TNLN, Thanks.

Literally did drive up to this one. Great cache. Knew about this road but had never really driven up this far. Love this area. Well stocked cache. Lots of interesting swaps. Stopped in the valley on my way home from the beach. Log book is brand new. Took Loosey Goosey TB but took nothing else. TFTCSL

Nice easy find. Needed to drop off Lossey Goosey TB as she has been nesting in my study at home for too long.

TNLNSL

Thanks

Replaced the mouldy, sodden mass of pulp that was pretending to be a log book.

21:45
GZ was indicating a different spot, but the cache was quickly located and retrieved.

Last cache for the day after a pleasant Day/Nighter with Team Webguy.
Now it is time to take our tired 4yr old home to bed! [|)]

Thanks Sky Dog.

9:45pm
Hmmm, GZ was never where it actually is, but thats ok, we found it easy enough. As previously stated, log book is starting to grow the stuff that cures diseases and will need a visit from the cache doctor soon!

Took a boomerang fridge magnet and left a mini cd rom game.

Last one for the night and an easy one to finish off with. Now, no more crap about not doing your caches, I just did 5 of em ok!

Bwahahahahahahahaha cough

Andrew, we had a great afternoon and evening doing your caches, they are in some great places and of good quality, as we knew they would be.

Cheers

Nice easy find. Thanks SWAG agg. TNLN Regards Philma.

Easy find, for once a _real_ easy cache! in batteries, out pliers.

Thanks for a good one Sky Dog.

Cache #5 @ 12:45pm

I don't see what the big deal is, i think the road would be great, makes logical sense. they complain about it now but once the road is in they will use it themself. and damage to the environment? there is already a road there.

anyway easy find, log book was wet and mouldy.
lid on cache wasn't properly secured.

Road Rage!!!#1 Wow haven't they given the local member a serve.
Road Rage!!!#2 That was us tring to find the exit to get there with a GPS telling us to turn onto another street name. Frustrating to say the least.
Nice find and even Snifter friendly. Took the fuses 'cause I think I blew mine getting there.

Too hard!! Dropped off some fuses for those who might blow some with the heat over the roadway..picked up TB.

Dropped off "No place like home" TB

Not too hard to find. No wonder the road is closed off. Hoon central is it was open! Left nothing.

I can see why all the yocals are up in arms about their peace of paradise....

Easy find, though the highlight had to be the signage in the area. TNLNSL, Thanks for the cache.

Agsmky

Easy peasy!

Fourth of seven finds for the night in my continuing assault on the Shire. My GPSr was pointing me 5m into the scrub on the left-hand side of the road. This didn't look like terrain 1. I had noted in the logs that the cache had been moved to the other side of the road, so I wondered if the coordinates had been updated? In any event, I decrypted the hint and found it straight away at 2000. My GPSr read 13m at GZ. I took a reading, with the intention of attaching it to this log, but somehow, I didn't save it. Oh well! Thanks to SWAG agg for the cache.

I can see why the residents don't want a through road here. They probably paid a premium for their properties, based on the secluded aspect of the area. Still, if they can afford to live here, they must be silver tails, so let 'em eat cake!

OUT: Cake of soap

This was one of those great occasions when being slow is beneficial. The boys took off up to the top of the hill on their bikes telling me to hurry up. What a waste of energy. Hee Hee. TNLN. Thanks SWAG agg

It's all dried out now. I have moved it to the other side of the road where it shouldn't get as wet when it rains.

It's off line for the moment drying out. I may move it to a position that doesnt' become a water course.

Quick easy one to check out this area. Cache was waterlogged after the recent rain. May need a little maintainence

TNLN

It looks like everybody down here agrees with each other so I'm not sure if the signs are any use.
I didn't have a printout with me and the GPS had me down near the creek for a long time so it was lucky I got a call from agg just as it was getting dark.

Road rage who cares about a bunch of whingers, hold the next Bathurst 500 there and give something to really whinge about.
How about cache rage and how all cachers in NSW are criminals. Did everyone read/hear about that guy who found all that money and the cops have charged him with theft by finding.
So if you to take something from the cache we now have to hand it into the local cops wait four weeks then go back and claim it otherwise you’re a thief.
Only yesterday I found a box of Penthouse magazines by the roadside and being civic minded and doing my bit to tidy the place I collected them. Now I find out I can be charged with stealing.
Suppose they will next try and enforce the no swimming during daylight hours law.

AFter a two-month break from geocaching the lure of the geocoin finally became too much to handle. A quick dash and it was mine.

Now what do I do with it?

Left a CD.

GEK

I finally got sick of SWAG Agg bugging me about not doing his cache, even though it was so close to home and I drive within a km of it each day....
Thanks Agg.. it was very easy to find.

About time too!

Good hiding spot. Took the It TB and left a Geocoin.

Mrs McPodie was on the ball again today and found this one while Mr McPodie and BushPig, who both failed to read the cache description, were both fumbling around in the nearby creek. Didn't make any swaps but since Mrs McPodie loves turtles, we just had to take the Shelly TB.

Had very scratchy reception today for some reason and the GPSr initially had me searching some distance from GZ. In the end I put the GPSr away and found the cache in no time. Thanks SWAG agg, and the other caches in the valley are on the radar

Dropped off 'Shelly' TB, TN

Someone has taken the 'Scout Badge 2' TB and not logged it.

Missed out on finding a virgin cache again and it's within 700m of home - right under my nose!!

Hope the road never gets opened. [:(!]

Nice easy find on a Sunday morning. [^]

Took Nothing, Left Nothing.

Thanks SWAGG agg.

Staying with Sc00t and Twisties after they have just moved to the area. What a great opportunity to see some of this area and the lovely Woronora River.Caching does take you to places that you wouldnot normally go to. We are only new to the world of computors, hence the reason it has taken us a long time to log on this great cache.
Thanks Shy Dog.

Picked this little virgin up with the help of Sc00ts Parents!!! Looks like all the locals are in agreement about the road opening back up!! Hopefully they can get a win, nothing like backing the under dog!!! SL and swapped some TB’s cheers SWAG agg

My parents came to visit our new home in Sutherland today so we thought we best make the most out of the great weather and go nab a virgin.

We left mum and dad to find it, after some gentle prodding they discovered it. We signed the log, swapped TB's and other things.

Thanks for taking us to a cute little part of town.

Cheers
Sc00t and her parents!!

Dropped off Scout Badge 2 TB
