You take the high road and I'll take the low road ... from my vantage point below, I guided AlbyDangles up above, to the container's location.
Found with AlbyDangles on day Four of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey or Bust" tour.
Cheers, EPs.

Found this one tonight when we took the geodog for a walk around penguin, this one has been on our list to do for a while but just haven’t had a chance to do it, using my phone as a gps once at ground zero a quick hide was found, the log was signed and off we continued on our evening walk. TFTC

Had to get a different angle with this one. Once spotted the find was had easily.
Unfortunately I have had to resort to using my phone as a GPSr. My little faithful Garmin died recently and I couldn’t resurrect it. Then again, the poor little thing is 8 years + old. I can’t complain really. Anyway TFTC

Taking What'sOn for a tour of the north west and an introduction to Geocaching this weekend, Tassie really put on a show, with the weather so we think he's hooked.
This one took a bit of looking and a lot of care since it was such a nice day and there were people around. tftc

This certainly was quicker than the last rail bridge
Got myself to a different level and the cache was spotted quickly

3rd and last in this series today. Had to have a good look before the cache was spotted (you can probably guess where I was to see it first) and then once back at GZ it was a simple matter of making the grab. Log was signed, cache replaced and then off to visit an nearby park.

Thanks for yet another one ST....

Out and about caching with Tassie Trekkers in the North West and this was one of the caches we found. It was very windy on the coast today but always a lovely area to return to.

We are participating in the States of the Nation games which are currently running from 16 December 2017 until 21 January 2018.

States of the Nation is a real and virtual geocaching scavenger hunt where your home state will compete against other Australian states to find and hide geocaches. Over the 5 week course of the game there will be hundreds of scavenges that you can track down, find and convert into points for your state. Some scavenges will be easy. Some scavenges will be tough. Some scavenges may be impossible. Don't despair. You are not competing just for yourself; you are competing as a state.

There will be a number of scavenges released on a weekly basis but each scavenge will remain until the end of the game. This means even if you decide to join the game part way through, the early scavenges are still available for you to claim. Scavenges will require you to find a geocache, hide a geocache, attend an event or do something else completely different. The game focuses on all aspects of geocaching and so all cache types, sizes, terrain and difficulty will be up for scavenging. TrigPoints, Events, History, Virtual, Webcam, Podcache and Locationless geocaches are all scavengable, so you're not just looking for a box under a bush. Each week there will be a mix of physical, non-physical and locationless geocaches so even if you are not in a geocache rich area, use the locationless component of scavenger series to get out, find something to log and gain points for your state. If you watch the scavenges as they are released you might also spot the 'not so hidden' patterns and plan for future weeks of the series.

Hiding geocaches will also be a large part of the scavenger series, but please remember this is a game of geocaching and geocaches that you hide should be long lasting, be of good quality and you should be proud of what you hide. Please avoid hiding a geocache just for the day so your state can find it before you archive it. Geocaches that exist for a short period of time may result in any claims on that geocache being disqualified. Play creatively, but also play fairly. More geocachers hiding more geocaches makes for more geocaching fun.

Sorry about the lengthy logs. We are currently aiming for a virtual verbosity trophy.

Last time we were out this way there were heaps of kids at the nearby skate park and a couple of groups of doggy walkers having an involved conversation just near GZ. So back we came today and noone was about which gave us a clear go at finding this cache. mr sharnie's tribe made the find fairly quickly now we have an idea what we are looking for. TFTC

Found on a caching trip down the coast.

Being school holidays there were lots of little muggles across the road at the skate park. Parked the car strategically to cover our activities and it wasn't long before another 'treasure' was uncovered by our helper for the day.
Thanks.

Well done 2y'stassies on another FTF...cheers ST.

From Heybridge we continued east to Penguin to look for the third member of this group of Rail Bridge caches. We had checked Google Maps so knew where GZ should be. We parked nearby and made our way towards the target area. Several muggles walking their dogs stopped for a chat and we had to wait a while for the coast to clear.

Accurate coordinates again resulted in a quick find of a well hidden container. We were able to sign and return the log to the container before another group of muggles appeared. It was time for some photos up and down the railway line and out across the bay before the coast was again clear and we could replace the container. Traffic then began to appear on this side road as caravans and campers began leaving the caravan park further up the side road, slowing our return to the car. We realised that even though we were not on the highway traffic can appear suddenly and care needs to be taken when accessing the cache hide area.

Thanks Sirius Tas for another very good hide in this series - we do hope there will be more. This was our third {FTF} for the morning at 10:10.

Enjoy!
