Reperio 12:04Day 5 of our tour of Tamworth/Armidale caching trip, and today, Master Vitruvius and I were able to focus on more of the caches closer to the Tamworth area, and then progressively head home to Orange.

My final find for the day. Of course my mind went gutter-ward given the name of the cache - but then I soon realised what was going on here. What a neat idea.I soon found the prize safe and sound. Signed it and returned it to its home. Thanks for giving me any excuse to stop. TFTC Postman Pat
Returning home from an impromptu trip to QLD, we have been stopping for the occasional cache which encourages a break from driving and hopefully a bit of a walk or history lesson. This was one of the caches that we found today.Thanks Postman Pat for the cache placement and good parking.
We do like a nice big cache in the bush. Thanks for placing it here and breaking our drive. Tftc
A quick find great landmark. On our trip to Tasmania our first cache for the day. Beautiful weather and a nice quick break. TFTC.
Apologies for the late log here (14.01.24) but I've had a busy time since getting back to the UK.Third planet 'in' on my drive towards the observatory (aka the sun) and I'm really enjoying this sort-of-series. A quick find here. I didn't leave blue... Thank you TNLN-TFTC!SP (UK) on an epic trek right around the world.
Overcast Sunday and decided to return and get this cache we passed on our way back to Coona from Gunnedah. Area has a lot of rubbish strewn around

Cache find 7 on day 14 of Rutherglen trip and work trip to Adelaide, now home.
Pulled up to Uranus and went behind to look for the cache. had no luck so went back to the car to get my phone, as I was going back I spotted the cache just lying there on the leg of the sign exposed to muggles. I thought that doesn’t look right so after I stamped the log I looked for a safer place to hide it close to the cords, I’ll contact CO about it when I have service.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".
So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.
**Thanks to Postman Pat for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Todays journey home to Bargara from Dubbo to Moree. Selective geocaching on the way so that we arrive at dour Motel for the night by 4pm. Good run and no problems with any of those caches attempted. Apologies for the boiler plate logs. TFTC.
We stopped off to hunt for this one on the drive to gunnadah for lunch and a bit of grocery shopping. Having seen a few other planets in the solar system over the last couple of days it was great to venture out further into the colder parts of our dear system Sol. The visit to this planet in particular was a momentous occasion as jokes about Uranus are always funny.
After we finished giggling and enjoying a leg stretch I ducked away and made a swift find of the stash, whereupon I made my mark before returning the cache to its home.
Thanks go to the cache owner for furthering our outer space adventure and making our day just that little more out of the ordinary.

Fourth time we've tried to get to Dubbo to visit the zoo since the pandemic started. This time we were successful, no border restrictions, no lock downs, nothing was going to stop us....except for the East Coast Low that caused mass flooding up and down the east coast of NSW.
Apologies for the extremely late log, it's normally not this bad.
Nice easy find. Good size!. We loved visiting the planets and ended up going all the way to the space station.
All the logs are in good condition unless specified otherwise, and they were all found with ease unless specified otherwise.
Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache and thank you for breaking the drive up **Postman Pat**

Found on a trip around central New South Wales with e.gregory1. Our original plans were to travel through Bourke, Cunamulla and Toowoomba to attend the Dayboro event in Queensland and return via Port Macquarie and central NSW, but a series of events that included road closures due to flooding in southern inland Queensland, a covid outbreak in Brisbane and widespread storm damage and road closures along the north coast of NSW resulted in multiple changes of plans during the trip. As it eventuated our travels took us to central New South Wales, on a route from Broken Hill to Cobar, Nyngan, and Gunnedah from where we meandered southwards through some great scenery and historic towns that included Dunedoo, Wellington, Cowra and Yass. We then headed in a roughly westerly direction through to Temora, Wagga Wagga, Deniliquin and Swan Hill before making a final dash for home. All up we found a good mix of Traditionals, Puzzle Caches, Multicaches, Adventure Labs, Wherigos, Earthcaches, Letterbox Hybrids and Virtual Caches on a very entertaining and enjoyable trip. Thanks for the cache Postman Pat!
Found on a trip around inland NSW with FeatherWaite.
Our original intention was to attend the Mega event at Dayboro in Queensland, travelling up via Broken Hill, Bourke, Cunamulla and Toowoomba, then home via the NSW coast to Port Macquarie then on to Adelaide via central NSW. However, the Covid outbreak in Brisbane forced us to reconsider, particularly given that the Mega and associated events were within the area of concern and we may have had difficulty re-entering NSW to get home and then would have had to quarantine back in SA for 14 days.
The floods in the north and east of NSW also hampered our travel plans. But we were able to develop a new plan that took us on a very pleasant tour around country NSW, picking up some great caches along the way.
Thanks Postman Pat for the cache.

And still the rain pursued her on her quest
For trees and space and waterfalls and stars,
Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars.

Quick 1 to find while having a pitstop to stretch legs. My pen stopped working so couldn't write name in book
I love Uranus and it makes me laugh that it is a gas giant. Ha ha. Primary school humour. You can’t beat it. Gets a favourite as well as a nice box and a nice road side stop. Tftc tnln
Still morning Temp is over 40 already but needed a stretch really refreshing finding real caches on our road trip we left our personalised Badge and Pathtag
Thanx for the Adventure Stay Dirty ️

It's the last day of the school holidays & a week off for me & I'm driving home after dropping my daughter back in Orange.
This was an opportunistic find on the way home to break up the drive a little. Quick find among the rubbish & dozens of sticky flies. Alien TB dropped off. TFTC.

We need a break enroute and this ticked the boxes, parking and cache. The iPhone had us all over the place but soon settled and there it was. Signed log and then headed on our way.

Hahaha yep there may be only one planet I'm going to find and of course it shall be this one. One can assume this area is where the aliens are spotted? Yes, I know, I know, I'll stop now. Thanks for the cache, Postman Pat!

On a 3 day drive to the Sunshine Coast from Canberra. The second goal of the day was to find a cache in every county we passed through, while finding the way points for the Great Aussie Icon Hunt #5.2 multi in Canberra. Cache easily found. This is where we stopped for the day, sleeping in the car for four hours before continuing. TFTC.

A nice quick find as we drove home from the Warrumbungles. So many Uranus jokes to add to the fun too! TFTC.
I love this planet series of billboards. Tftc Beautiful yellow or golden Orb Spider
Another Uranus found along our route: a couple of days ago we visited one on the other side of the Warrumbungle NP. These representations of the solar system are a really nice concept, we never saw them prior to this trip.
Soon found it and left a TB in it that likes night caches. Well, watching planets probably works best in the night sky.

After leaving Tooraweenah we headed to Gunnedah for an over night stay & to locate the many caches in the area. Stopped for a couple of the way into town. I have seen these virtual solar systems heading towards Coonabarabran from many different highways. Love the concept. FP given

Starting our trek west toward Adelaide. Our main goal was to get as far as we could (we made it to Coonabarabran) and find a few caches to break up the drive. Made a quick find here. Wish we had more time, it would have been nice to get the rest of the solar system. TFTC
I found this fun cache as I traveled from Grafton to Coonabarabran today. Thanks for giving a great reason to stop and stretch my legs a wee bit & for breaking up the drive! Cache is in good shape.
We are on the trip thru Australia and where happy to find another Cache to chance one toy! Tftc
Nice to find a cache here. Great idea to feature the planet's in the area. We visited the Planetarium at Dubbo. Very interesting.
