Visit Forbes..
Across the water is Wheogo Park. The park has a day area and a free 48 hour rest area. Located on Lake Forbes and walking distance to the shops, this is a very popular spot for travellers. The park has toilets, bbq facilities and plenty of big shady trees.
You are looking for a small container in very common hide.
Edit 20.3.23 - Due to the cache being washed away in the floods it has now been replaced in a different hide. The cache details have been updated
Congratulations albida33, fitzy_1965 and minniek - FTF

There was a steady stream of walking muggles on the nearby path today. They were enjoying the sunny Monday holiday. They made our hunt a littlt\e more difficuly.With one of us keeping watch the other made a dash for the hide and returned to the car with the container. Once our name was added to the log book we had to wait for another break in the foot traffic to return the well hidden container to its hide.
Thanks for this hide Geono. The container and contents were in very good condition.

Staying at the free camp nearby we wandered over to find this cache.
Made a quick find, all good here.
Many thanks geono for your cache placement here.

Thanks to Now_To_Morrow for replacing the cache after the original was washed away in the floods. The co-ordinates and size have been updated.
Hi. Your cache in on a trip to Lake Alexandrina in the company of the flood waters of November 2022. I have replaced the cache, however it is now a micro and the hiding mechanism has grown a few metres so the Coordinates have changed. Pic attached of old and new hiding spot. If you don't want this, simply archive.
New coords:
S33° 23.342' E148° 0.242'
New coords:

You'll be happy to know your cache is still in place and nice and dry. Looked like the flood waters didn't get as high as the last big flood here.
#GA5398 - 16:51; Day three of a mission through the Central West of New South Wales with Sol de lune to grab some of the dragonZones to our west was now on the homeward leg. After spending the night in Carinda, we headed south for home through Quambone, Coonamble, Gulargambone, Gilgandra, Dubbo, Tomingly, Parkes, Forbes and Grenfell. Today we collected finds in Walgett, Coonamble, Dubbo, Narromine, Parkes, Forbes and Weddin dragonZones and counties on our way home with some 2200 kms on the clock for the mission. Collected this one on our way through Forbes on the final leg of the homeward journey. Took a bit of effort to dodge the rubbish and extract the cache from its hidey hole, but managed to retrieve it!

I wasn't really expecting to find this cache after the last DNF, but TG47 and I were going for a walk after dinner anyway so I had a look. Yes there was plenty of rubbish in the area but then I had a closer look and there it was. TFTC geono. Another chance to "fire" off in the Battleship game. TNLN SL

We had to dodge the traffic for this one, as it was quite busy. Nice park. Thanks for the cache, Geono!
I was planning to park the caravan near here last night but didn't make it this far. It made for a good leg stretch stop though. some years ago now I filmed a promo video in this park. I may even have this hiding spot in a shot. haha.
It was good to see 3 new geocaches in the area in heading into. I cached this place out whilst living in Dubbo. haha. Thanks.

West New South Wales trip 2020. Day 1. I was joined by MinnieK and Fitzy_1965 for a trip planned to go from
Goulburn to Forbes, Nyngen, Cobar, Broken Hill, Wentworth and Balranlad. Today we left Goulburn Bright and
early. The first caches were in Grenfel, and then we went to Forbes, followed by Tullamore to visit a Unknown cache and have lunch
at the golf club. We finished the day at Warren after an interesting Stock reserve mud digging exercise.
It was nice to see a new cache. A simple pickup as we waited to cross. Shared *FTF*

GCA 4,285. Found during our 2020 Outback Adventure tour.
Left Goulburn early this morning and headed north-ish hitting several dragonZones along the way. This was the second find of the day. We were keen to try for this one as it was still unfound after 10 months. We pulled up at GZ and albida33 made the quick find. Woo Hoo - *FTF* !!
Thanks GEONO !!
