This one was like digging for hidden treasure but we got there!! Tucked away in the corner. Nice to have another one signed on our afternoon drive in the country. Thanks for the cache.
With the country going into lockdown & meat / chicken / rice & dunny paper in short supply I figured it was time to go for a caching run & drop of some movables & complete some caches, needed to clear my head as job insecurity is of real concern & I had enough of the bullshit – so cache on – this was the 12th 1 completed after dropping off the movables. I very much enjoyed your caches today & the drive that it provided – many thanks for showing the area to me – cache found nicely - TFTC / TFTH / SL

I found this cache on my drive back to Canberra after a weekend in the Harden area. Cache and log are good. TFTC Tanso.

With a day off in hand, I wanted to take the opportunity to go caching which had been decided a few days ago. This morning, I opened up my emails and I noticed that there was a new cache which oddly didn’t have any finds on it. What was even weirder, this new cache is in the heart of FTF hound country. Given I was already planning on caching in that area, I thought I would change up my driving route, so I could give myself the best chance of make the FTF. I knew I had about 2hrs of driving to get to GZ, so I drove in hope that I would get there before anyone else. I left Temora about 7:50am, arriving at the GZ parking area at 9:37am (a little less than 2hrs) and at 9:40am had the CIH. But, was it a FTF? I opened the cache and next the log-book. After a quick flip through it became clear I was the FTF! Once I signed and replaced the cache, I turned around and was greeted by an amazing view of the area. Next, I decided to find some newer caches that has popped up since 2016 and avenge some past DNF’s around the area. I made 10 finds before lunch and after lunch I decided on hitting the ‘Tanso’ trail plus a few lone caches along the way, which added another 14 finds to the total. Only three DNF’s, well two and one NA. All found caches today, ended up being quick finds which left me wondering how, I could DNF the caches last time. I felt a bit like a [:o)]. TB visit on all found caches today. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring joy to me and the rest of the Geocaching community. TFTC’s
One of the caches we found whilst staying in Yass on the way to the MEGA

Joolay and I had set our sights on the caches out here to earn more points for the current game. Most were relatively easy finds, maintenance was done on some but all logs were signed. Thanks for the caches. Cache was returned to its hidey hole.

Found with Smittengranny out and about chasing GA caches for the game. We started early and headed to this cache then out to the trigs nearby and back to Yass. Had a great day and enjoyed being out on a beautiful if quite hot day.
The lid was cracked on this but the log was in ok condition. So replaced the lid and on we went.

The cracked lid on this cache and the brittleness of the box mean that this cache is nolonger weather proof. The container needs replacing to prevent the loss of this cache from this lovely area.
We spotted the hide as we pulled up to look for this cache.
As one of the previous finders mentioned the lid is cracked and brittle however the log was carefully double bagged so was safe and dry and in good condition. After signing we put the lid on carefully trying not to cause further damage. The container will need replaci soon as the current one will continue to deteriorate.
We noticed a large shingle back sliding across the road in the sun as we returned to our car. We were pleased to see it saefly reach the other side of the road as the local traffic certainly whizz along.
This is a very pretty road and certainly deserves caches to bring none locals here. We enjoyed the scenery as we travelled along Blakney Creek Road.

Headed out for a quick afternoon of caching with fitzy_1965.
Our main aim was to clear out some GCA in the Yass area. Made a quick find here. Unfortunately, I cracked the lid when closing it....feels rather brittle. Upside, love picking up some unloved too.

A quick find on our last caching run out of Yass, moving on today. We've enjoyed our couple of days in the area. TFTC
Yass Day trip August 2015. The day took me up Cookes Hill road for my second series of caches up this way. A fun day with good caches all round.
Thanks

A nice drive in the country with the CO to grab some caches for me and check on a few things for her. The weather was freezing and I found myself entertaining her at times while looking for her hides. Cant believe although I provided the transport, she said I was on my lonesome for the searching. I got the job done here and we were off to the next one.
Found 10:53am with LuckyL10n. I was out on a caching run with LuckyL10n and his partner and friend. We were doing a large loop to grab GC and GCA caches. The hide was fairly easy to spot. The log was signed and returned the cache back to its hiding spot. Hopefully they survive for a some time. Grabbed a photo too. Noticed Blakney creek just a little later after getting back into the geomobile and heading off.
Thanks for the cache.

#GA684 - 10:55; I had sown the seed yesterday with the geohoney that we should go for a Sunday drive through the local countryside and perhaps collect a cache or two along the way. An itinerary was then hastily arranged and the geohoney's friend and MrDamage confirmed for the tour. MrD had collected some of the CO's caches which I had picked up last week, plus we had collected a couple of GC caches as well, before we hit these more recently published of the COs caches. A nice quick find on the way past. TFTC Tanso
