Realised I hadn't logged this previously. This cache was found in good condition after a short search, thanks Team Bluedog and Emmnmnl for showing us this spot.
Love your caches, sad to see them go. Thanks for the good times Bluedog. Tftc
Found this one with Cantcacheus2014. I absolutely love your caches and I am sad to see them go too. Thanks for the caches, Oldbluedog!
The junior stortigirls have loved this series of signs and were stoked to finally pull in to see one up close. The container was quickly found and the log signed. Tftc Oldbluedog

Continuing my journey south, this was my first cache for the day. Plenty of room to park here. I wandered to GZ and quickly located the cache. I signed the log and returned the cache to where I found it before continuing on my way.
On a road trip to the Bathurst 1000. A couple of finds along the way and stop off points to make a find and stretch the legs. This one was quick to locate and signed the log. My geobuddy had in fact been through earlier in the day! TFTC Oldbludog
Sorry for the tardy log entry. Found it on our trip out to Baradine for the 150th.

Easy find following our geosenses , seemingly stumbled upon a spot for a roadside toilet but found the cache and got out quickly
What a great thing the solar drive is, never knew it existed. We are just doing caches along our way, wish we had abit more time to do more of the solar drive though. Tftc
Found on 2/9 and put needs maintenance.
Just realised maintenance tag doesnt update total so logging now.

Cache is broken and some water has entered and wet log. Log is also full. No trackable present that I could see.
Was a rough find as was doing it at night and didnt realise there was a scramble to reach it. Also
cache protected by a fearsome spider who wasnt afraid of me! Added scrap page for log. TFTC

Found with MrGT on way north. Very distinct geotrail made this quick and easy. Took TB. TFTC
Traveling from Dubbo to Goondiwindi stopped in to check out Saturn. Cache well secured and dry.
Interesting idea with the planets, must look out for more. TFTC Oldbluedog.

Not so easy to find as the phone had no signal at GZ. Had to have a good old-fashioned look around instead. Another good place to take a break, and educational stop, on our long drive from the Blue Mountains back to Queensland.
easy find on our road trip Canberra to Townsville. Thanks for the break as I tend to drive till i'm
tired. SL TFTC TNLN Cache is in good condition

Thanks Oldbluedog for the cache!

Finally found one of these caches. I did find a burned up one at mercury. Lack of signal at the rest
At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking year through the world. Most of the time I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be taken, as it will make the challenge so much easier.
My current part of the journey is the nineteenth day of a roadtrip from Margaret River to Brisbane and I'll definitely try to collect a lot of boxes on my way.
Now, that I'm driving trough areas, where people are living and there are more caches I had to make a sad realization - I can't get them all
So I only hunt for the ones, that are very old.. Or are having a lot of fav points... Or are just right next to the street....
This one was found fast and easy.
TFTC and greetings from Germany

Thanks for sharing your beautiful area with us out of towners from WA.

This is the next cache I found after "Jupiter", having previously visited the virtual solar system model's Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars sites. The perspective you get from this model on the distances between planets, drives home the point that Saturn isn't simply the next planet after Jupiter. There is a lot of empty space out there. This cache was an excellent placement, as was the case for the Jupiter cache. TFTC.
Found in spite of zero phone reception - good thing we read the other logs and clues on the way here. Delighted to see one our swaps from the Pilliga caches had made its way here.
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.
I like it

TFTC Shame about all the people who have chosen this lovely spot in my old home country to litter. With Weebindi. Thanks Ozibags for the trick in to add to our collection.
Found with taurus1955 and B/dale Bandits. Our first find for the day. It was a quick one. TFTC
Found with taurus1955 and misschief18 and Bentley the geodog. Our first find for the day on our road trip home from the Mega. It was a quick one love the planet signs. TFTC
Another one of the planets along the Newell found. I'm learning lots from these displays. TFTC Oldbluedog.
I had already touched down on Saturn earlier in the day so was getting a little confused, reading the cache notes explained it.

Well as Mr Sandalwood Cottage is a Star Anything Freak then of course we had to stop. However, we better get a wriggle on as we are running out of time and we are heading to Dubbo after the QLD Mega at Stanthorpe as we are on a mission to drop off the Geobag of Goodies to TeenynTonka who could not attend. The bag seems much lighter without the Chockies and Water and whatever other items were missing. "Yes you know who you are LES!!!!!!" So last one till Dubbo...
On our way home to Victoria from oz mega and will try for all this series as we go
We happened upon this series by accident as we travelled from Coffs Harbour to Dubbo. Great way to break up the trip and keep the geokids interested. Phone GPS is terribly unreliable here so we used our geosenses to sniff out the prize. TFTC
A great days caching on a road trip toward Oz Mega 2015 with Team Crackers and The Coffees. Many differing experiences, some where I walked right to the cache and others where I needed to hunt around a bit. As usual I have enjoyed the various challenges set by the CO's and the fact that I get to cache with friends and am outside in the great outdoors.
Many thanks Oldbluedog for placing this cache .

Catching up with some very late logs.
We were on our way to the QLD Mega with micaparamedic and The Coffee's picking up some of the closer caches as we went.
This was day two.
We found a variety of cache hides, some easy, some took a bit of searching. Unfortunately somewhere along the way we have misplaced our paperwork and with over 400 cache finds in two weeks we can't remember them all individually so we apologise for this generic log but we do thank each and every cache hider for their efforts.

Heading up to the Queensland Mega with Team Crackers and Micaparamedic, we stopped off and picked this one up.
Thanks for the cache,

Quick find with Gonefishen07 on our way past. Had to be quiet so we didn't wake to sleeping truckie. TFTC
We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
On our way to Stanthorpe for the 2015 Mega.
Thanks for making the route more interesting with your caches !

Found with Zobo04 on our way to Stanthorpe to attend the Mega, doing a few caches along the way and this was one of them.. Lucky muggle truckie was asleep or this would have been a no go zone. Some people are yuk using the area as a toilet. Saturn is pretty groovy TFTC
On our way to Stanthorpe with Whitewebbs heading for the Mega using geocaching as a guide.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Out amd about caching with Tassie Trekkers as we head to Stanthorpe for the Qld Mega. Another good stop while towing a van. TFTC
Almost drove past this one, then I remebered finding another in this series ages ago at Tooraweenah. Chechen with the GPS and off for a quick find TFTC Oldbluedog
Quick stop, easy find, loved the container, TNLS, had to be careful as muggles were about
A very interesting spot. Great idea and pleased to see it not vandalised! Cache was a quick and easy find, TFTC
Making good progress in our 10 hours of driving! Found quickly (thankfully) having read the hints. TFTC
Heading south today on the highway we took the opportunity to grab this cache.
Nice quick find first up in the morning.

My three month Brisbane adventure has started. Day 4, Dubbo to Gunnedah.
Today, I was up at six thirty to take the GeoSchnauzers for a walk or two in the "cool" of the morning, down by the Macquarie River. Nice. I also did a cache on each side of the river while we were there. Then we had breakfast, and, the temperature being 35 degrees already, I decided that today will be a park and drive day, mostly.
No 7 of 15 today. Thanks yet again, Oldbluedog. A quick park and grab, and a quick slash for the dogs after all the water they drank at Hickeys Falls.

I have seen similar solar systems models but never at this huge scale... Was a bit surprised that there are many Saturns though I took a picture of the Saturn sign near Coona but it seems to be identical to this one. Tell me if you want that one, we came from Narrabri and I took it somewhere near Coona.
Thanks for the introduction and for the cache!

Excellent description took us right to the cache. Thanks Oldbluedog. Left UK mini TB
What a fantastic model! Discovered this on the way home from Qld school holidays. Thanks for creating a really big cache with lots of room for swaps. A tip for future travellers. Don't take the small track behind the model. It leads to an unsavoury area people have used as a toilet. Cache in good condition. Took a small ball. Left an ant and star. TFTC!
While travelling through the southern parts of Australia we passed this area and looked for this nice cache. TFTC Die Waldelfen
