Stopped in on a drive from Cooma to Tumut this morning to reprise a photo taken over 20 years ago and was delighted to find the Big Fish cache at the same time. With only a pair of muggle truckies nearby it was a relatively straight forward search and find today. Thanks winglen. Great to nab another of yours.CheersMajuraHathi

# 9506 A spectacular day of 4WD adventure that took us from Canberra, the Cotter, Uriarra, Piccadilly Circus, Broken Cart trail and out to our first stop at Blue Waterholes for lunch. Then it was off again across Long Plain in an almost vain attempt to spot bumbies. We had a great stop at Landers falls for some amazing views then off to Talbingo for afternoon tea. Next was the Tumut #3 power station then back to the highway to Tantangara to observe the enormous works in progress for the Snowy 2.0 project. We were running late by this stage so we headed straight to Adaminaby for our dinner reservation and then back home All in all a busy day with some amazing sights and great company. Thanks to Greg and James for organising.Logs signed as 4WDA or similar.Thanks winglen for the Traditional Cache

My Dad and I ventured out to hike Mt Tantangara today with the main target being the new EC at the summit, and of course to collect the trad and virtual.It was a spectacular hike, one of my new favourites by far. We collected a couple of caches on our way home as we passed through Adaminaby. Another big thing, it makes me want to do a road trip to visit all the big things. Perhaps it's something I'll put into the 'maybe one-day' pile. Thank you winglen for the cache!

Having had no luck accessing the Mt Tantangara area (see log here... https://coord.info/GCAVXEE), I headed back to Cooma and had a few enjoyable hours of geocaching there.I stopped along the way to grab this cache. I had to explain to a nice young family (mum, dad, two small kids) that I wasn't crashing their picnic. They had heard of geocaching, and were astonished at the number of names in the log book (which is full, btw) going back over so many years.Thanks for the cache, winglen!

Clever little hide…thanks!
