Pluto by Bluedog Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Searched for a while with Jimmy01 not realizing it had been disabled. It's all been under water.

Dubbo Flood.

found it

Just passing through and saw this one was only 15m away. Found it easily but log is fully and all over the place. Needs replacing. No tb to be found as listed. Tftc

Found this cache and the travelbug is not there.

This was my uncles first find as i couldn't reach it without hanging off the sign.
The cache was very visible so rehid it a bit better. Is still on the sign.

TFTC.

this is a great series I will finish it one day.

Found this cache with ollyx2000 actually this cache was in plain view if you have a good look needs maintenance log full

No Muggles Around Late Afternoon, It was pretty high up found a trolley hoped in it and Grabbed it. Log Book Needs Replacing TFTH

Our second find in this series of caches - we spent time studying the sign this time and everything made a lot more sense. Fortunately for us we had the cache signed and back in place and were busy reading and taking photos when a bus load of tourists and an angry swarm of bees arrived.

Been there heaps of times and never thought about what this was, Thanks for the cache.

Not much room left on paper

We could see how this one could be missed if you are not so tall. It was pretty exposed when we found it and we tried to put it back where we thought it should be. The log is pretty tattered and pretty full. Found a spot to sign. T4TC

Found it last night when there wasn't as many muggles watching

Reperio at 1345. Arrived at GZ to find very few muggles around today, so after a quick search the cache was located. Interesting signage board...would be great to drop by and find the rest of them...but unfortunately not on the road trip.

Gratias.

Nice container well hidden! TFTC!

Logging my TB Visit on the way from the Condo Camper trailer meet

Found after getting a pie at the Village Bakery. Very enjoyable pies but not as good as Kings in Hamilton VIC.

I must say that this cache was hard to get as it is up pretty high and whilst not tall at 5'9" (174cm) I struggled to coax the cache from its hide.

Thankfully it was getting on to 6pm and there was quite literally no one around so an easy find and collect.

TFTC

Cheers

nice quick grab while doing a few caches in town with Farmer--brown

Spotted this one easy but retrieving it was a bit more difficult with the amount of muggles around.
Had a look in the TIC for some info on the local attractions.

TFTC

My first cache found in Australia on a sunny afternoon in Dubbo

Would love to have time to visit all your sites, but we were just passing through Dubbe, quite by accident.
We were early enough not to have too many muggles except a few Council workers erecting temporary fencing. TFTC

This is the third and eleventh cache placed by Team Bluedog found today. Had a look this afternoon and could see the cache but owing to the numbers of muggles decided to return tonight for an easy grab. The rather full log was signed and returned but does need some TLC from the owner ASAP like one further North.
Once again thanks for this series.

Found at 1530. What a great concept. It was fairly quiet at GZ today which made for a nice quick find. Thanks Team Bluedog.

Heading back to Melbourne from the Sunshine Coast, I found this cache @ 11:13hrs today.
I knew it was going to be interesting trying to grab this cache without drawing any attention to myself especially at this time of the day and on a Sunday as well.
There were a few muggles wandering about here but none too close to GZ to stop me from retrieving the cache.
It was a bit of a test for me since I'm not very tall. I made this my first for the day and the tenth find of nineteen for this trip back to Melbourne.
I noticed that my good friend Crustyvarmint had also visited this cache back on January this year.
TFTC SL

We unfortunately did not have time this trip to locate the final one in this wonderful series.
hopefully next trip nth from S.A.

Found on a trip oot to Dubbo.Thanks Team

Found this whilst out for a Zoo visit. We had a DNF earlier in the day at Merriwa on the exact same sign. Thanks Bluedog

Rated: for Overall Experience

SOME CACHES JUST AREN;T MEANT FOR SHORT PEOPLE. I PERSISTED THOUGH. TFTC

Was dark and it was the last cache for the night and we didnt have too much trouble finding the hide.SL TFTC.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 97 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, and made a very quick and easy GAFF 0 find. I'm not particularly "vertically challenged", but I had a fair bit of trouble retrieving the cache. If only it had a bit of metal on it, my ever-present magnetic pickup tool would have done the job.

My find No 2894, TNLNSL. There is no possible way "Esfarayen, Iran" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug (ref = TB1B3R1) could fit into this cache, even the blue circle would be too big. This traveller needs to be transfered to a graveyard.

Nice easy find to start the day

Awwww that planet is so tiny ...
Very happy have found the rest planets all of them.
Thanks so much for this value .
Happy Universe caching and universe.

Glad that Alchemy2 and myself had been logged all planets.. it's really worth to see there.. Found it TFTC

Now all I have to do is find the rest of them! TFTC

Found but unable to retrieve

Found at 3.00

You need long arms for this one.

TFTC

We have a couple of days in Dubbo to see the sights and do some local caches of course TFTC.

Easy find on our way up north for 6 weeks. Did not realize how small Pluto is. Many thanks.

Very busy spot for this one.
Lots of muggles about but we waited for the right moment before retrieving this one.
Did I mention that it was a two person retrieval being short as we are!
TFTC

Spotted this one quickly but had to return with TALLER geoson to retreive for us. When we returned most Muggles had left too so we had the log signed and back in its place then on to the next one within minutes. TFTC.

Hmm mugles... strange name to call someone oh well.... When i went not many Muggles around so had a quick scan... [always have a quick scan of a large object then a more thorough way as to not waste your time]. Luckily i spotted behind a pole on the metal side wasn't tall enough so dad gave me a boost and we were out in no time
TFTC

Nice quick find with geo son after ages looking for previous one. Thanks.

Found on our way home from QLD

cheers and thanks for the cache

I have been going to do this one for a long time, just haven't been around at the right time. To many muggles.

We pulled in to visit with the info centre and saw the sign and both said there has to be a cache there, yep there sure was. How good - no gps download. I do not see how the two trackable's listed for this cache can be there as there is not the room. SL TFTC

This was our first find, great fun! Thanks Bluedog.

Found this one whilst out with geodaughter in the school hol's.
TFTC

At last made the crossing from the Sun and here at last... Very cold here but got there in the end.... TFTC Thank you Team Bluedog for the entire System Drive made that more special..!!

Finally home from Oz Mega and time to log. Found with La Kedi and looking forward to finding the rest in the series. TFTC

Our first in the series, hope to pick up the rest over the next two or three days. Again, glad we had a tool with which to aid us in our retrieval of the cache, but retrieve it we did. TFTC ='.'=

After visiting a number of others in this series, Pluto looked ever so small in comparison. TFTC Team Bluedog

Have only to do the Warrumbungle planets to complete this series now.
Thanks Team Blue Dog

Having done a few in the series it was good to knock off another one.
Thanks

What a cool idea for a Solar System model! A nice quick find. Thanks for the cache!

Dropping in a couple of coins for a short stay.

This was an easy find this afternoon. We hope to do the others tomorrow with a bit of luck an time.

The owner might want to check the hide as it is a little exposed and may not be in its original position.

TFTC

I dont think we will be able to make it to the other planets on this trip.

Nice hide all the same

TFTH

Find number 8 for the 32nd day of our trip to Tasmania and the Mega Event. Found at 0935 hrs, find number 405 for the trip so far. Easy find, having done some of this series last year.

Cheers
Bundy

Quick grab nice and early to avoid the Muggles. TFTH

Found 16:32 today..

Makes the full set of the Solar system for us as we travel to OzMega...

TNLNSL

Thanks to Team Bluedog for setting up caches at these intersting locations
(meant we actually stopped @ each location)

Tftc tnln

Found this cache while on our way down from Brisbane to attend the Oz Mega Wagga Wagga Event.

Spending the night in town and the day at the zoo and also just a little time left to nab a few of the local caches as well. Not too many muggles around so we could locate this one without any trouble.

Thanks for the hunt Team Bluedog

Cheers,

Quick find at 1505. Lucky there was no muggles around at the time. TFTC

Didn't take as long as I expected to get to pluto. Now off to The Ridge.

took a while and with a bit of help we found it!!

Found today
Been trying to get this one for a while but always too many muggles around

Thanks for the Cache location

Found it ! There were a few muggles about but the find and the return went well! I'm glad to take another DNF off the list. SL, TFTC.

This one has eluded me for long enough - I have been working on a number of occasions within 50m of GZ but there have always been plenty of muggles. This time I headed down real early to avoid the rush. Thanks Team Bluedog.

Found on a mega caching trip to Dubbo

Found at 12:25 with frogdude - the ninth on our trip to Dubbo.

There was a carnival or fair going on here today, and a row of portaloos had been placed right next to GZ. We knew where the cache was, but had to time things between the comings and goings (so to speak) to grab and replace it. After some of our best stealthy-work, success was ours'.

Thanks Team Bluedog

18th find on my Dubbo/Nyngan/Cobar trip.
Thanks heaps Team Bluedog
TFTC dogtired

Ahh, so thats what the signs are that we have been driving past. The geo-teen found this one pretty fast, thou we did have an older couple watching us why we were doing this, but we snuck out a spare moment, and sent the geo-teen searching as we were eating our Pizza Hut pizza's. TFTC

Always short on time in Dubbo, we have tried this one a few times.. This time, and maybe in the third location? We got it quickly. Its kind of a shame we won't have an excuse to drive by this sign any more! Thanks Bluedog!

Muggles dodged! TFTC. More planets as we continue north.

One of several caches found with Captain Tomato on our trip to Brisbane. TFTC

Thanks for this one - easy to find even though we didn't have the co-ords. Prompted a spur of the moment visit to the other planets but again we didn't have any co-ords so didn't have any luck with any of the others. Geo-kids enjoyed the big telescope at Siding Springs regardless.

Found with Sandsoap.

Nice to pick up the tail end of this solar system. Thanks Team Bluedog.

Found it during a stop over driving from Melbourne to Brisbane. TNLN. Did not see any trackables.

A great hide, a great container. We visited Siding Springs Observitory whilst we were out this way and saw the whole galaxy of planets. This is the only cache we did in this series, but was a treat for us all. TFTC

What a great series, and I finally now know the reason for the planets I've seen along the newell. This one took a while to get due to multiple muggles in the area. I noticed there seem to be a few trackables listed as in this cache at the time of writing this, for the life of me I can't figure out how they could possibly even be in there. TFTC and thanks for the series It's not everyday that you traverse the solar system.

found this one on our way to a hunting property.love the idea we all so passed by 3 more planets on our travels.
TFTC NINO

Good spot to stop and stretch the legs on the way from Brisbane to Adelaide.

Nice easy find, probably does not deserve a Difficulty rating of 3. Thanks

Found by Mary & David at 1525. Fascinating information. We've done quite a few of TeamAstro’s journey through the Solar System series. Our thanks again to Team Bluedog.

Good hide in between 2 wasp nests so I moved it over.
TFTC

This one wasn't too difficult to spot, but I was on my own, and don't have the height advantages that Mr Bunny has. On the other hand, I wasn't going to leave it there, once I'd seen it. I had to wait for muggles to clear, as it was morning tea time in the park. When I got the chance, I used a large stick to get the cache. Getting it back was a bit more tricky, but I managed it in the end.

First for the day and quite difficult because of muggle activity. We are looking for all universe caches on this trip. Found at 1655 hours. Heading for Brisbane and doing all along the Newell Hwy. Dong the others on the way back next week.
Maxi and the Jackpot.

Started a victorian invasion of geocaches in this area. On the first pass this was one of four we found. Had fun along the way thanks Bluedog. Found at 1655 hours dst today. Thanks. Maxi and the Jackpot.

3 from 3 in Dubbo for the night.
Found with ease with Razz and Lannan.

Lucky Hoojar is able to climb as we are both freakishly short. Spotted quickly. Signed quickly. Sadly it was our last solar system cache.
Cheers for the ride.

Last cache in this most enjoyable series! Thanks for the drive!!! I climbed up to this one without any drama

Cheers

Cool little hide

Found 16:45. Very clever container spotted it and had to wait to make a safe retrieval and replace. TNLN Thanks.

Found at 10.05am GAFF1. As we approached GZ there was a single male muggle sitting on the fence nearby - what is it with single men in Dubbo!
The cache was spotted quickly after reading the information on the board and it was interesting to see that it had been updated already with the latest agreement amongst scientists regarding Pluto.
Thanks Team Bluedog - wonder if this is where Team Astro got his idea for his universe series?

Our second solar cache we have found. Just had to wait for the coast to be clear, then went for it. TFTC
