Well today I needed an excuse to go caching and the Australian ones at that. So I needed to go to Bunnings to pick up some plumbing pieces and Penrith was the go. So from Penrith I came up to find a couple of caches. this one took my interest at I have 3,000 finds but my caching find centre is at Caching Centre All: Condobolin S32° 24.175' E146° 37.203' and Finding Centre All: Eremerang S32° 23.220' E146° 28.936'. then the Australian ones is further west Caching Centre Geocaching Australia: Wallanthery S33° 11.258' E145° 53.376' and Finding Centre Geocaching Australia: Wallanthery S33° 9.050' E145° 45.169' so this is at least a 2-day drive to place a cache, at the moment unable to do that. So ill be content to find yours. Also today I wanted to find your cache for the Journey or Destination - Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
1.Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
2.Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
3.Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
4.Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
5.Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills, Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache), Traditional, TrigPoint, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia, The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced, The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period, The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more), The geocache is one of the following types:, Moveable, Traditional, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.
So after all that I needed the points and so I found your cache, thanks again. TFTC / TFTH / SL

Decided to stop on my way to Emu plains to look for this cache this morning. Having previously done the GC caches in this area I knew the best place to park. A short walk with a bit of a push through the scrub and quickly found the cache. Cache in good condition. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
We found it intact. It was a bit tricky but we are novices at geocaching. A bit of bush bashing involved. Swaps present.

I've been meaning to do this cache earlier, but while in the area and a bit of time to spare, took a quick wander to GZ where the cache was found quickly! TFTC
Out for a caching run this morning with a target of reaching my 1000th gc cache. This is the first cache within the park. By the time I get my second sion cache of the three within the park it will be my 1000 gc cache.

Found on a weekend trip to the Blue Mountains with Sol de Lune. After parking at the end of the street nearby, we wandered into the reserve for another quick find. Lovely area. TNLNSL. TFTC Team Canary!

Grabbed with Toy Hunters during our 2 day run around the Cerberus Mountains....
What's the easier thing to predict......I would find this cache....or....Chelsea would beat Crystal Palace tonight. I reckon only one of those things can happen, and as I've found the cache, I'd say Chelsea's terrible year will continue!!!!
As for the find, no problems and all was good.
Thanks guys.....Go the Potters

found after dark after an afternoon caching around Warrimoo. Thanks for the cache and congratulations for the 5000.

Came in from the lower side track with a short bush bash - with the GZ cleverly camouflaged within all the new knee-high plant growth. Cache container and logbook are fine ... left a swappable, and departed up the near clear path, the easy way. TFTC Team Canary ... well past 5000 now I guess, but congratulations just the same

Had some time available so scooted down here into the lower mountains for a quick find in a nice little section of bush.
Got turned around so made a big circle before discovering the obvious place.
Easy to walk straight to the cache without bush bashing, if you pick the right spot . . .
All in good order. TNLNSL.
Many thanks to TC and congrats again on 5000 finds!

A quick train trip to Blaxland and a brisk hot and muggy walk to GZ and then onto Glenbrook station.
An easy find even if you are unfamiliar with the area, a map will help!
However the coords are very good so no problem getting to GZ.
Thank you for the cache and a belated congrats for your 5000 finds.

FTF @ 6:37pm with bikerbuddy
Congrats on the 5,000 finds!?!
I saw this one published yesterday, but we were headed in a different direction last night & I wasn't able to look for it. But today we had no plans, so we made a quick trip down Glenbrook to search.
Bikerbuddy took the lead in the search for the cache. He started to head one way, then realised he had left the path too early. We went further along the path, then headed of track. Gradually we veered back around then spotted what had to be the hiding spot. I reached in, found the container & opened the log to reveal an empty FTF spot
.
As I replaced the container, bikerbuddy looked around & realised we were just beyond the spot where we had decided we had left the path too soon. It as a much fasterwalk back to the path.
Thanks Canary
