A lovely catch up lunch with cachers recently returned from the mainland and some moveable caches as a bonus. We'll move these ones along the coast in the next few days so it can continue it's journey. Thanks for the cache

With the current energy price hike a personal oil well may be an asset. Sending this little drill on a tour of the little island. Happy travels.

I do love wandering around this area. The countryside is green, there are some remarkable gardens and beautiful houses. Today as I wandered I moved on some caches that I managed to grab at a recent event back home after promising to move them across the border as soon as I could. Having just commenced an AL nearby I stopped off here to find a new home for this little fellow. Thanks for all these moveables Throsbyonchurch, Very HappyVery HappyClan CerberusClan Cerberus

I was lucky to attend a GCA Event yesterday at which this, and its numerous mates turned up. I have grabbed them all and will carry them south in a couple of weeks. Thanks Johnomawbs for the event Black Bunny and Just a Cacher for bringing the movables and Throsbyonchurch for placing the caches. SmileClan Cerberus

What an amazing way to start my holidays from work. Geo-events, traveling, meeting up with friends and finding many different caches made it fun! Big Grin It’s so nice to finally be able to do all these things… again. The following descriptions are my adventures between the days of 12/11/21 and 16/11/21. Each cache has been logged to the end of my adventures for the day of finding them. If you would like to read my full log, please find it on any cache I found on the 16/11/21.
Day #1: I finished work at 4pm and headed over to Wagga for the only GIFF event in NSW. Apart from the CO, I was the first to arrive at the event. It was great to finally attend a Geocaching after many months without them. All talk Geo was had by all until we were told that dinner was ready. Soon after, the popcorn was ready and the movies were on. Congratulations to all the GIFF finalists and they were all a great watch. Also, Congratulations to BMG for receiving the FTF on the event. Then it was time to head home and get ready to head to Canberra for the next few days. Big Grin
Day #2: I was nearly late to my own event. O’well… It was still fun with the small group of us that turned up. We also discovered many Moveable caches before heading off to today’s main goal. This happened to be finding the ‘A’ part of the GA geo-art series as well as the lone GC caches around the area which I hadn’t found as I pasted by them. I wasn’t alone as AKM came for the walk as well. After finding all but the last two we headed our separate ways as it started raining heavier. Hopefully, it won’t be raining tomorrow so the event goes ahead but well will need to see. Also pizza for dinner tonight. Big Grin
TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO's of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring me and the rest of the caching community enjoyment. Big Grin

Saw these were in town so headed out and managed to catch up with BB and grab them all. A great collection of moveables that I will move on soon, but probably in smaller groups. Good to see some knew ones in town...and the effort gone into each one.

Thanks Throsbyonchurch.....will move on shortly. Very HappyVery HappyVery HappyClan CerberusClan CerberusClan Cerberus

Ran into another cacher as we were placing these and they are now gone.
 
03-Aug-21
Sorry about that. I had it all sorted out and I wanted to get these out. I really needed more time, I was in the dark placing these, and I don't like the dark out in the wilderness, so I took photos of the tags in a ush. I thought I had them all exact until I forgot to take a photo of one and then couldn't remember where I put it. Sorry! Thanks for fixing me up.

Joint *FTF* with Black Bunny on this one. Lovely day out, lots of Throsbyonchurch caches and one or two others.
Thanks for putting these out, Throsbyonchurch. We will move the movable ones on soon.

BTW, although this one is called Tin Miner on this page, it says "Drilling for Oil" on the card with the cache.
 
31-Jul-21
This one was definitely not there, as well, although we found two others in this spot:23037, and 23076. I think perhaps you might need a better system, or perhaps a bit more time?
 
31-Jul-21
Went for a drive to test a new camera, but we couldn't miss out on a few caches as well.
Joint *FTF* with Just a cacher.
Thanks, Throsbyonchurch!
