This morning as we left Tamworth and continued south we made a stop here to look for this cache. The container was encased in a thick web that had to be removed before the l
container could be extracted and the log signed. A nice hide.

Thanks for this cache wiskaswhite. There was plenty of action at the horse arena early today but it was too warm for any action on the hockey ground.

Out and about caching around Tamworth and surrounds with Tassie Trekkers and this was one we found. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the rural drive. The standard of hides and creativity of some were fantastic. TFTC

Spent the day checking out the sights of Tamworth and grabbing some caches. TFTC. Big Grin
 
1 of 4 attempted geocaches this morning in the 15 minutes I had to race around this area before being picked up. only got 3 (or 2 really as I assume this is also the GC cache of the same name and location) as I ran out of time as I arrived at the 4th. TFTC Smile

Was surprised that this one hasn't been found for over twelve months. Such an easy one and you can park right next to it.
Only had time for 2 caches as we passed through Tamworth today so decided to just grab the GCA ones.
Thanks.

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done. Thanks.
