Can say it is gone will look into part two soon.

This cache may be missing will replace shortly.

A quick find this afternoon on the way north. I haven't visited the merino for years and today time didn't permit for more than a quick stop to make the find.

TNLN and TFTC.

not were we where expecting but a quick find for the geokids as the adults were to cold to get out of the car. tftc

We've visited the big merino several times now but today was the first time we were able to go and look for the nearby cache too. Found it easily but left the pen in the car & was reluctant to return due to the heavy traffic. It's amazing what a twig and mud can do!
Thanks,

Located at 1625hrs with our mentor, redink, who introduced us to this preoccupation called Geocaching. Took nothing, left soldier. TFTC

It's nice to the Big Fella in a new spot where he gets lots of attention. TFTC

Went to the wrong sport first because I didn't read the instructions. A quick back track and the cache was ours.

Interesting container! lots of rubbish about in this corner but dont think too many mugglers would be out this end
TFTC

Police were doing random breath tests too close to GZ so we decided to move on. And it was WAY TOO COLD to stay any longer.

18:15 (found with ywurry)

Easy find on a darknight. Greatfully accepted insider info (i.e. a previous find for ywurry) given the extreme cold. Neat receptical.

P.S. Sorry for late log.

On a Goulburn day work trip had time to grab this one on the way out. Just had to wait for the police to finish booking someone on the road right at GZ, then it was an easy find. Thanks JABs.

Under the watchful eye of the big ram we made our way over to GZ and made the find interesting container in a container.The viewing platform in the rams head is not accessible at the present time.The little sheep letterbox is cute.TFTC SL...

6/9 Goulburn assault

It was a cold and dark night, but I was pleased to find the area pretty well lit, the streetlights and glowing neon from nearby fast-food joints. That made finding all the easier.

Thanks JABS

Found at 4.30pm. Not too hard.

Took NSW Police Card
Replaced with Jack Spades card.

Great cache container.
Was very cold & windy.

I was a bit concerned about wandering around this area looking at a gps until I got there and realised that you have hidden the cache in a muggle free area!! Liked the hide and the container!! TFTC SL

Found on way to Wee Jasper Camping long weekend.
Left "MJB12s Aussie Flag" GC.

Cache # 269.

The accompanying Shod geokid found this one. Found after lunching on the 'fine' fare offered in this location. TNLN TFTC.

Sad they closed the top of the Ram due to 'SAFETY' concerns. Stopped for a Subway, then grabbed the cache.
Thanks!

Found after spending the day at a Girl Guide event (a day of glitter, glue & 5-10 year olds).
TFTC

Coin drop for tracking only.

Fourth find on my way home to Sydney. Pulling in for a quick break I grabbed this one on the way past.

TFTC
AP 106

A very good road side garden. TFTC

This was a great excuse to stop for a milkshake in the servo. Then we checked out the Baa Ram You. Unfortunately, due to council safety regulations, you can't climb to the top for a view over the cache at the moment. Life is so silly sometimes, isn't it?

But we enjoyed the cache location up close and logged our visit. TFTC

2003. [font=Comic Sans Ms]A very [blue]icy[/blue] wind blowing today as I made my way to the find. Moved away to sign and then had to head back into the gale to replace the cache.

TFTC and the quick find, thankfully.[font=Verdana]

535. Not what we were expecting but loved the container. Quickly signed and replaced before we got muggled...said hello to Rambo nearby. TFTC

Grabbed this one after have a huge lunch for Mother's Day. Unfortunately we were too late to visit the attraction so have put it on the list for next time.

TFTC

Loved the cache guardian on this one![:o)] Nice short walk at the cache was ours. thanks.

Hanjac knew whee we would need to stop and we soo had it in hand. TFTC

Knewe the big fella so had it in hand fast. SL TFTC #60 at 19:35 with budokan from nz

Our fifth stop on our ANZAC Day trip to Goulburn and we grabbed this one after lunching nearby. I was a little disappointed that due to Council Regulations you can't climb to the top of Rambo any more.

Geonanna spotted the likely hide from the Geomobile but due to the very cool breeze she remained in the Geomobile.

Visited Landsharkz Gecko and Red Poppy Remembrance Geocoins.

SL TFTC

Walking to the cache and a red car goes past - "I know what your doing".
Spotted!
Well we did get the cache (with out getting seen again) and on we went.

Not where I thought it would be!
Nice quick one on the way back to Sydney.
SL TFTC

Made the mistake of parking at Rambo's feet
Well I do need the exercise. Found easily TFTC dogtired

We'd stopped nearby for the free wi-fi connection, so it was an opportunity too good to pass up. I even visited the Big Merino & had a look inside... nope, no caches in there!
I felt decidedly exposed while retrieving the cache - at least I retrieved it very quickly - and I suppose all the passers-by have other things on their mind.
TFTC.

Quick find on the way up to Sydney to watch Carlton play the Swans.
TNLNSL TFTC!

It was all roses when we found this one. Ewe's better let me stop at the Big Merino on the way home!

Took some time to stop and smell the roses, and found a cache for our troubles. Nice one.

Catching up on Freddo the TB frogs travels with us. He visited this cache.

Cheers

We took more time to find a place to park than to grab the cache. We went past once, did a U turn, then stopped opposite the cache, only to see it really wasnt a safe place to park, so off we went, and did another Uey, then pulled up closer to the cache. Easy find, in a really agricultural cache container.
There is a hotrod meet in town this easter. The rods we have passed so far, travelling north along the Hume, and later travelling south as we headed further north, have been fantastic to see.
Found at 1325 hrs, number 9 for today.

Cheers

Younger daughter, Bethany, and I drove through here on Saturday night after stopping in Goulburn for dinner. We knew there was a cache near the big Merino, but where had it gone? I hadn't read the bit about the move, and hadn't been through here for some time so was rather surprised to see the ram had done the bolt down the road!
Came back today on the way home, and dropped in to find the cache.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!
best wishes,
Wal & Bethany

I had read the description about the move, but I still expected it to be in its old spot. So used to seeing it there. Went and grabbed the cache, and then hit the bakery for morning tea.
Thanks, Robmc.

4.30pm
I normally avoid these kinds of attractions like the plague.. but if there is a cache nearby, then I'll suffer for the prize. Easy find and a good hide away from muggle-mania.
TFTC!

Found 4.30pm with Ywurry

Quick and easy find and a good photo opp of the Merino from the cache side. East playing tourist when you are one LOL

An interesting geocache container, easily found under some rocks.

TFTC

what else is there to do at 3.30am but find a cache!
took a pin, left a pin,
Almost had to knock on the door of the bakery, as the smell of baking bread was almost irresistable

On our way to the south coast, and pulled off the Hume for a quick fuel stop. Spotted the easy parking for this one, so made another quick stop to check out the gardens and sign the log. A beautiful rest stop, such a shame about the rubbish near the cache.
Cheers,
Murf.

Visited this area in my early days of caching and didnt realise there was a cache here but I revisited and Found this one on my home from Canberra after a weekend holiday for Valentines Day TFTC

Wow a really great sight!

Found parking on the correct side of the road so we didn't become roadkill. Quick find and we were on the road again. Thanks!

894 - A Sunday run with Sol with which we were rewarded with visiting some lovely areas and towns not really that far from Canberra - 6/14.

First time Ive been through here since Rambo was moved. Appreciated the quick drive by.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Heading for this cache I dutifully got the geomobile into the right lane for the turnoff to Rambo's place
Confusion reigned when I saw the wooly one standing on the wrong side of the old highway [:o]
Huh!! Was someone pulling the wool over my eyes or had senility set in amd my memory failing ?
But reading the cache notes reassured me that neither was really the case
So after topping up the tank at the Golden Fleece I set off on foot across the road to find the cache
It was a bed of roses and I quickly found the cache and signed the log book [^]
TFTC.

Like the container. Nice little park. Hardest thing was dodging the traffic. Thanks for the cache.

Found with 3KidsCaching. TFTC. TNLN.

Quick find on our travels to Tumut. TFTC

#455 - A familiar icon in a new setting. I am not sure that the Subway building andsign improve the vista though.
Dropped into the bakery for a pie after making the find ... mmmmm
TNLNSL ... thanks ...

12:54 pm - Just as we were working out where to park in the Big Marino An RBT Unit set up in front of where we thought we were heading. So we decided to stop and have lunch in the bakery (well worth it rather than the golden arches up futher)We thought the cops would be there for a while and it wasn't going to be possible on this trip but by the time lunch was over they were gone and we were ready to hone in on the cache.

The rose garden is beautiful.

TFTC

Another easy today. This one have excelent parking

Easy find

What a great place to stop and have lunch - the boys enjoyed lunch here. The sheep reminded us of some similar town structures back in NZ. Queue the sheep jokes... Cheers Gav [3188]

Found with the kiwi team on our great Australian caching tour. Wow! what a landmark, something different all right. Stopped at the bakery for lunch, nice pies!

Team GPS.org.nz Cache Raid: I don't think any harm will come to that film canister. T4TC, M@

Wow - That is one Massive Sheep

1st find on the trip to Queensland. Parked at a nearby food outlet and walked down while the others fed their faces.

TNLN and thanks for the chance to stop.

Cheers,

New log book in place just in time for the Holidays.

hurt my fingers.

This cache will have a new log book shortly. Please if you find still feel free to log even if you are unable to sign log book. Plan to be down this way at Christmas.

#64 - Nice easy find on the way back to Canberra from Sydney. TNLN TFTC

Found at 11:15 with shell_seeker and matt_stomper.

Quickly found, and I think that we used the only remaining space on the logsheet to sign. Then it was off to grab a pie for early lunch.

A very busy area, but I don't think that we raised the curiosity of the passing traffic too much. I'm still not used to seeing the Big Merino down this end of town.

Another missing GC (grrrr) - I will message the owner.

Thanks JABs

Found with Matt_stomper and sw2092. Love the unique way of concealing the cache. TFTC

Great cache to find. Nice pie shop across the road. Found with Shell_seeker and sw2092. TFTC!!!

Quick cache on the way home from work in Canberra. Found a spot to squeeze in the signature.
Kebab from around the corner was excellent too.
TFTC

Found 8:20am. Headed to Rambo. Then realised that the co-ordinates were a little further away. Quick U-turn and cache found.

Tried in the afternoon, but police had set up breath testing right in front of the cache location, so I thought I might look a little suspicious. Came back just on sunset. Couldn't climb the sheep but the cache was an easy find. Log sheet is completely full though and needs replacing. Thanks.

Nice rose garden and nice cache container. When I saw the little monument I thought we had been gone through a time warp and turned up back at "Old Hume". This cache is certainly designed to suit the harsh climate of Goulburn. TFTC

Found on my way home from Sydney.
The listed GC was not in the cache.

Es hatte dort sehr schöne Rosen.
Danke für den Cache

Found with slowdad during an afternoon trip to Goulburn. Had to wait a few minutes for a muggle to drive away but after that it was an easy find. TFTC

Found with the psychodaughter during an afternoon trip to Goulburn. Normally I can't do caches like this when I'm with the psychodaughter, she sneezes too much. Luckily she'd taken hayfever tablets this morning so it wasn't a problem. TFTC

I was expecting something in the middle of the muggle territory across the road and instead I got a pleasent walk through the rose garden. Everything was in bloom and it smelt wonderful. Nice placement of the cache and the container was pretty cool.

We looked at this one a week ago and decided to give it a miss because of the location, but on the return trip we noticed that there is plenty of space to park and a sign encouraging you to do so! We grabbed the well constructed cache in short order and were on our way. No coin in the cache. TNLNSL. Thanks JABs.

this has been the longest trip i have ever taken to goulburn
8 caches just to get here
not were i expected it to be but the coords were spot on
S.L. didnt see coin there

TFTC

Found at 4.10pm GAFF1. We had booked ourselves into a motel just across the road. so before checking in we stopped and found this very convenient cache. Love the big animals - should be a cache series about big animals! Thanks JAB's.

Ewe put this one a long way from where we assumed it would be, baaaat it turned out to be an easy find with spot-on coords. The roses along the fence near the cache site made a great display. A refueling stop at the nearby bakery completed our brief visit.

Under the cover of darkness whick was quite good no one can see me hiding here while I sign the log - don't think any one will be able to read the log signature (scribbled in the dark with out a torch).

Great drive by find at lunch break. TFTC

On the way to Canberra we stopped for a search.
We'd come by the previous weekend by chance, and knew there was a cache by the sheep somewhere, but not exactly where, so had a look around. It isn't at the base of the sheep!

Today we had luck, good to have co-ordinates and a GPS. Did forget a pen though, so couldn't sign!

The egg and coin that Easter bunnies left is nowhere to be seen though, there is nothing in the cache now except the log.

Oh, a shame you can't climb the sheep and look out over fellow cachers going about their business. Council regulations...

How big is that sheep.The GPS was not working properly but we found it.

Found with TheJohnnyCachers! on our way to Canberra. What a sight. TFTC.

Had a chuckle when we realised the sheep had crossed the road. Pity we couldn't see the view due to maintenance. Our GPS pointed true and we soon had the contents in our hands. Took dice, left egg and coin.

Parked at the big woolly bum and whilst Mrs ssmc4 browsed inside, Dad & the 2 kids walked over to nab a cache at 15:00.
I liked the contrast here - BIG statute, little cache.

Thanks to the JABs.

Stopped by for lunch and got out and stretched our legs. Cool idea for a container too. Had a good look at the merino and was on our way to Melbourne.[|)]

Found this cache at 11:45am after having lunch nearby. Nice quick grab.
Thanks JABS for the hide.
The Bushies (Team Booya).

found with imgettingannoyed

a quick and easy find on the way to Canberra.

a good excuse to stop and take some happy snaps.

and this big fella is certainly a Male.... just head round the back and you will see why

Parked where I thought I was well out of the way and then found the cache easily. As I got back into the car a vehicle came from the one spot I never expected one from! My timing was good. Thanks for the cache.

(#106) Found 1505. Not where I thought it initially was!! Very clever container as well. TNLN TFTC!!

Found on the trip back south. Insteresting cache container.

Found on our way back to Canberra after dinner with a friend. Stopped by at 9:30pm. Quick find.
