First find of the day. TFTC

First for the day with a group of friends. Took a bit of hunting but we eventually tracked it down.TFTC JABs

A SHARP PAIR OF EYES

A good start to a great day of caching with friends - TFTC

This one turned out to be too good for us, (if it is still there)
WE had a good search around the middle with no luck, sad.

16:52 HRS
Quick find but no livestock here today.

Thanks.

A keen eye soon spotted this one. Log signed and we were on our way.

Found whilst breaking up a long journey to Katoomba. TFTC.

Found this cache on the way to Cowra for xmas. We were able to park the car really close to GZ and soon had the cache in hand. CTLX looks like a pretty serious saleyard, love to be able to visit during a sale day to see what goes on. Thanks for the cache JABs

A nice quick find ....thank you

log was to wet to write on and cache was obviously broken so i put one i had in the car there to replace the damaged cache hope thats okay

Easy find on the way home from visiting Bathurst.TFTH SL TNLN.

Noticed a few smelly trucks pulling in! lol. TFTC. Found at 4.45pm

A refreshingly different little micro on the roadside in the rain where no cows could be seen but definately smelt! Cheers from Sydney!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice drive by, although there were no cattle when we were there.
How does a place like this make money? I guess they must charge every animal that comes through?

Found with Alwyn, our first with our new GPS unit. An easy find.

Found with becon, our first with our new GPS unit. So much better than a car GPS. Easy find.

Quick stop off on the way from Wagga to Bathurst, easy find and glad to get back in the acr away from the smell T4TC.

Found it No. 2363 ... easy find ... TNLN

And now I know what the name means [^]
Cheers

An easy drive by, although it was a bit busy. TNLNSL. Thanks JABs for the cache.

[xx(] it stank! but nice hide! thanx!

thanks it was a good spot for a cache

Nice placement, I was out there dropping my fathers sheep too sale so picked this up on the way out....

Nice easy drive by. Thanks

The complex was in full swing & cow cockies were everywhere so decided to leave it for another day. These complexes are the way to go for the well being of the animals & comfort of the buyers etc.

Found this cache at 10:20pm on our way home to the Southern Highlands via Carcoar and Trunkey creek, caching as we go.
What a hugh livestock centre and not a smell to be sniffed.
Had morning tea near the hide, on such a lovely sunny day.
Easy find.
Thanks JABS for the hide.
The Bushies (Team Booya)

We had actually visited the sale yards the day before. How impressive they moved 16,000 sheep at the last sales !!! A very easy find though on the day, as we could drive to the spot. TFTC

46 - Looks like a really impressive facility. A few trucks coming and going but not a great deal of action.Thanks JABs

Found by Mary & David at 1015. A quick find luckily on such a freezing cold morning. Very busy inside - lights ablaze, and lots of trucks coming and going. Much more modern facilioties for man and beast than the old fashioned country saleyards. Our thanks to JABs.

All was quiet this morning and I spent a short while searching the wrong place as I am sure others will. Once I fixed that the cache was a quick find with good coordinnates. thanks JABs

Heading home after junior rugby. A nice quick find. TFTC SL

Found 14:55. Nice quick find. Thanks.

Found it nice and easy on the way back to Adelaide.
Thanks JABs for the cache.

beautiful day, we were at CTLX selling lambs (good prices) and decided to find a cache or two, ended up heading out to the dam after finding this one, been out to the saleyards plenty of times but never realised there was a cache there. Thanks

All the supplier of paddies for Hungry Jacks
Or those flat brown things in Big Mac’s
A stew, a steak nice and lean
Or the beef in beef and black bean
A casserole, sausage or Sheppard’s pie
Sorry to say cowies, you’re bred to die
An since you taste so bloody good
I see this place as a storage yard for food

Found with matt_stomper on our way to Bathurst for Easter. A nice quick find and dispite the Easter traffic it was reasonably quiet due to the rain. TFTC

Quick drive by on the way to Bathurst with shell_seeker. TFTC

Followed closely in the footsteps of all the Canberra Geocachers no doubt. Nice quick stop. TFTC.

New log book in place with plenty of room.

That's one BIG complex, TFTC.

Swooped in to the parking/rallying area in the McPhan-mobile, then spilled out to seek the cache. Impressive to watch the McPhan 'tingly geocaching senses' dissolve into reality in the form of numb hands from hours of driving. He was 500 mS slow and 25 mm to the right. Troubling times! Thanks JABs.

A quick find on our way south. This needs a new log sheet I seem to recall. TFTC!

Nobody here today and a nice quick find on the way past. TFTC.

1089 - Day 3 of the Bathurst Invasion - on the way home via Orange, Cowra etc...

Must remember - not always in the obvious spot.....

Took a few minutes and a couple of fence jumps but found it in the end...

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

1936. By this stage of the trip I was showing Mrs Winglen and Mr RexTrex my incredible geocaching senses - as in "My geocache senses are tingling. " And yet again I was wrong. This was a trend that would continue for almost the entire rest of the trip.

TFTC and more proof that I'm a 90% man.

Good quick find on a neat little hide.

1335+13=1348 with Captain Tomato #15 of 92 on Bathurst Invasion Weekend

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 all the caches - this was the first that we did of yours on the run. CT got distracted by something bigger, and I happened upon the neat hide. Thanks for the fun of the hunt.

Found this cache with SecretSquirrel-BJC on our Bathurst Invasion weekend.

A very nicely hidden micro. Thanks JABs

found enroute to Bathurst event with albida and mr_roo, I was amazed at the size of these structures.. big oh yeah...
thanks

Found at 1540. Pulled up next to the cache en route to Bathurst, and almost ventured past the fence to the obvious until I spotted the cache hide.

Thanks JAB's

Bathurst Invasion Weekend. What a big set of yards ! It must be impressive when in full swing. Thanks.

Albida

Yup was big founded with mtrax and albida. Was great to meet the owner later the next day TFTC

298 Found on route home. Nice easy find. TFTC

Our first cache for the year was a road side micro. That's the problem when one is out and about with Tronador and Lady Altaire when they're in a numbers frenzy. The good thing is that one stays in the air conditioned car whilst the girls are despatched to wander through the flies and the long grass to find the cache. Apparently it was a nice hide but readily located.

Happy New Year JABs. On our way to Nangar NP, Stopped here to nab another micro. Didn't enjoy the trek through the long grass. Found the cache, didn't find any snakes.

1801.

Found this one on the way home from Christmas with the family. A quick find.

Thanks JABs for the cache.

TNLNSL

Found with Fred6603. TFTH!

Found in the company of Rhondle at 1220 while travelling from Cowra to Sydney. Amazing what you find on the edge of the road. Thanks JABs.

visited this cache during a day-a-thon of caching!

Signed log and returned cache Thanks

Traveling home from Dubbo after doing the fireworks for the Monster Truck show we were doing a few caches along the way and we found this one at 17.24 We pulled up to find that they were exchanging livestock today, fortunately this had no effect on the search and the cache was located quickly
Thanks JABS for the cache

on our way to Kangaroo Island for hols. stopped by to see the size of this place.
Thanks Acko and She who must be obeyed

cache was found syill hanging around TFTC

Our last find for the evening. Webguy got attacked by prickle bushes and despite me standing right in front of it he still had to point it out to me!!DOHHHHHH. Thanks for the cache

8:48pm
Really hate blackberry, lawyer vine and any and all stuff with prickles or thorns on them.

Easy find. Last for the day. Massive salesyards!!

Cheers

0929 re-logging due to name change

I arrived at GZ and after avoiding a bogging, looked around for a clue as to where the cache might be
A few metres away were the letters CTLX standing a metre high in the windscreen [:o]
I guessed I was close
TFTC. MOO!!

929 Interesting information, I hope it ends as it was planned. Easy find TFTC JABs

Found the cache ok in the sleet and cold wind Saturday but the got bogged in the mud 40m from gz.Luckily a passing motorist stopped and hooked up some chains to save the day and drag us out.Thanks to JADs for the cache and the good samaritan who helped out.

Nice easy find thank you.

Don't get much easier than this one. The aroma's were nice today.

Thanks JABs

CTLX was a quick easy find while passing through the area. You certainly can't miss the letters CTLX. The new sale yards are certainly a behemoth compared to the old ones that they replace.
TFTC

Found this one on the ground.
Given the construction of the cache we replaced it in the appropriate manner after signing the log.
Sale yards were active today however everybody was watching the cattle and not two cachers and their dog!

Thanks JABs

Lucky this was a quick drive by !! as it was a steamy 3 deg, signed the log and on our way. Thanx

We were pretty surprised to get 2TF on this one, with all the cachers now located in the Blayney vicinity. But we were happy with the result all the same. Nice hide. We have driven this road a few time in the past couple of weeks and the new Saleyards are a sight to behold.

Found it! I went through the usual afternoon routine, chucked the work bag into the corner and checked the new listings only to find a new one less than 7Kms up the road. The kids and I dashed out to grab the FTF. It's nice to see a bit of rain but the smell from the complex was overpowering, phew! Thanks for a fun afternoon JABs, SL TFTC.
