Time for room to be made for others.

Clever little hide on a beautiful Autumn morning. With our 16 year old driving on his L plates it was a slow drive but the scenery is so lovely it did not matter! Thanks JABS.

First find of the day on a trip out to Kanangra Walls

Found on the way to Kanangra Walls on a caching day with friends. TFTC

Nicely hidden. TFTC

Well placed away from prying eyes and yet easy to find. TFTC

A nice, easy find to start a day of geocaching with friends. TFTC Jabs.

Easy find

Easy find with GeoBikiechick after having lunch at the nearby pub.

Would highly recommend the food at the pub, especially the salmon and avocado salad or the grilled chicken salad.

Lovely spot. We had a great meal here the previous evening. Such lovely friendly people. Enjoyed the local caches and our time in the area. Just wish we had had more time to spend.
Nice hide.

Sure has had some water pass under the bridge recently.
Found this one ok.
I put in a new log sheet as old one was full.TFTC

Out for a weekend's caching in Orange with Just a Cacher on a very wet weekend with some very wet dogs in tow. A Quick find on a wet and muddy day. SL TFTC

Out for a weekend's caching with Black Bunny. We could have chosen better weather - it rained and hailed and poured and there was thunder and lightning, and we got wet and muddy, and had no dry clothes to put on. On top of that, we took the dogs, so we had wet muddy dogs, with that distinctive wet dog smell, in the car all weekend as well. Black Bunny was very keen to get a few caches, as his average was dropping, whatever that means! I think we managed that, as he came home with a smile on his face.

not an easy cache for me
even with the help of a local family of lizards following me around and a river rat
TFTC

A relatively quick find.
First time walking here. Remember when the old bridge existed!!!

A nice little town. Great to see another old bridge too.

Wandered across, checked one side, then the other for a smiley

TNLNSL - TFTC (is it time for a Foster's yet???)

Looked High and low with plenty of eyes, but no cigar

A favourite place to stop.
Enjoyed looking for this with a few uninitiated family...
All clues were needed to find what we were looking for!

I found the cache while caching in the area for the day. TFTC SL

called in while in the area for a couple of caches, it was exactly where i expected it to be. nice work.

Found 11:25am, another old historical bridge. Nice looking old pub as well. Once found was difficult to extract. Geo-wife’s smaller fingers help out. TNLN thanks.

Found by Mary & David at 1555. First place the engineer looked. Quite picturesque with the cow parsley in flower. Just as well the bridge was replaced with a wider one with all the traffic going by today. Plenty of thirsty locals inside already this afternoon too. Our thanks once more to JABs.

TFTC quick find

A great location. TFTC

Had to try and avoid the headlights drive past on the main road, but managed to come up with the goods. Cheers Gav [4325]

When I drove up the hide immediately occurred to me. The gps got me to the correct end and the cache was in the second spot I tried, Nice to find these rural caches and a good hint on this one too, thanks JABs

Took a while, but I found it. All quiet today, except bumped into Code1 again .

A Bathurst invasion weekend find with the Team Bananaphone crew of Little Buds, SuperJaz & Bewilderbeest. We had awesome fun on this weekend!

Sorry, I'm a bit behind on logging my finds.

Thanks for the cache

I found this cache on our Bathurst weekend with the Team Bananaphone crew of Ultra Violet Z, SuperJaz & Bewilderbeest. We had awesome fun on this weekend!

Oops, I'm a bit behind on logging my finds.

Thanks for the cache

Don't you love it when the cache turns out to be in the first place you look? Especially when it's a micro? TFTC

Bathurst Invasion Weekend. A bit of a corner re-write, leaving a good spot to hide a cache. Thanks.

My first trip to Bathurst for 34 years – came up through Booroowa and Cowra and headed home via Oberon and Goulburn. Although with that many caches, my memory has blurred, I have come away with a great appreciation of the countryside and seen more of the towns than if I was doing my normal touristy thing. I have seen historic locations, scenic locations, fun locations, tricky micros, easy micros, evil micros – fantastic.

Thanks JABs for the fun of the hunt and the detour off the main road.

hmm a pub hows the food here? a bit early for us, I zoomed in on the location when mr_roo and alibda took the otherside so I had 50% chance of getting it right.. actually 100% as I found it..
thanks

Albida started searching and I read the clue and then he told mtrax to look there and he found it Thanks for the hunt

SuperJaz read the description as we drove up to this one. Pulled up, took one look and our instincts proved correct as we went straight to the cache.

Found with the Team Bananaphone crew of SuperJaz, Ultra Violet Z and Little Buds.

Thanks for the cache

Looked in one spot, looked in another, then a third. Then a re-checked of the areas and the cache was revealed. How did I miss it the first time. Too worried about watching where I was stepping I guess.........

1021 - Day 2 of the Bathurst Invasion.

Another Bridge ! Had a good look for about 5 minutes - then rechecked one spot and there she was - happy with that!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

1861. With an extra two sets of eyes on this one I was confident thatI could clean up a previous DNF - and I was correct. I think the RexTrex and Winglen were looking in the same spot I did last time as I made the find on the other side.

TFTC and the redemption.

Rated: for Overall Experience

I just love caching with a couple of friends! The chance of a find goes up rapidly, and McPhan found this very quickly to recover from an earlier DNF. Thanks JABs.

Found while passing through here on the way north to Bathurst. Thanks JABs (sorry for the brevity, this cache is a bit of a blur in the old grey cells department.)

Josh climbed all over where he thought it might be but another DNF for today. I think we have lost the touch!!! lol

GPS swung around but finally got this one, can tick it off my to do list. TFTC SL

Found by edmil & maddie. Well we know where all the locals are on a Sunday. The cache had a stumped for a while but perseverance wins the day and this one went to moi. Thanks for the cache, even managed to spot a lizard taking a swim - well maybe its weekly bath.

Had a quick look only as it was raining pretty hard.

22:15 Hrs
Nice quick find in the dark, dark night.
Big birds around these parts!

Thanks JABs.

10:16pm
A quick stop and a quick walk. Wingnut turned this one up quicksmart.

Cheers

Another quick find though we disturbed a large bird at GZ. I don't know who got the bigger fright, TFTC

We have driven past here last time after the 24 hour event, must have been all cached out... Found it today on the way into Bathurst.

Thanks JABs for the cache, we might catch up tomorrow on our way back home if this rain eases.

TNLNSL

Great hiding place took a little while to find.
Thanks.

Cache #63 for the trip. Mr Shifter had a mans look on one side while Mrs Shifter looked on the otheer, Mrs Shifter doesn't understand why Mr Shifter missed this one.

Did't have time to stop next door when i grabbed this one.

Maybe on the way home i might be thirsty.

On a weekend caching spree with The Rats and Steeba.

#28 of 143 for weekend with The Rats and Hoojar1ARC.

TFTC!

06:35

First one in daylight for today.

26 of 132 for the Bathurst Endurance event. Shared this one with Hoojar & Steeba. Thanks for the hunt. TNLN

This was the 1st of our finds on a quick little caching trip out that way. Would have stopped for a pint or maybe two next door before moving on but since it was fairly early and our 1st for the day we needed to keep moving.
TFTC

Had to stop in next door so went for a walk.

Coming clean on a previous DNF.

As usual my timing was impeccable
I arrived at exactly the same time as the skool bus, the cars dropping off the skool kids and a couple of elderly locals thrown in for good measure
So nonchelance was the order of the day here!!
Lazily kicking a few rocks into the creek, looking bored and generally just hanging around. All while conducting a clandestine cache grab [:o]
Got it!!

Checked one side, then the other and found it, strangely they're always in the last place you look!? (yes I'm part Irish)
Signed the log and moved on before the locals even knew what had happened.

Pretty sure we wrote wrong date on this one. Found quickly on the way home from our geoing adventures in Oberon.

Geo wife decided she wanted this & was FTF. Love the position. Spent many night at the nearby watering hole partying. Thanks JABS.

We parked with not far to go and checked the scene, there were muggles just about hanging out of the trees! but with some good timing the cache was in hand quick!
Thanx for bringing us out in the warm winter sun!

Found it ! We picked up a few caches on the way to this one so we were never in the running for the FTF. I got the geokid to chuck rocks into the water from the bridge as a distraction while a made the grab. Very nicely done JABs TFTC SL.
