We found ourselves out this neck of the woods approaching a little milestone & this was one of the caches we found on our day out Smile Whilst the rest of the family started searching elsewhere I was quick to find this one.

Don't know how but Steve managed to pull me away from the family to get some. More goes on Chrissy day. He was the driver as I was a little full to do more than just sit. I did come in handy on a few caches however safe to say he beat me on most today TFTH
 
25-Dec-16
TFTC! Had a few hours spare on Christmas afternoon so after enjoying a rare sleep in and a lovely lunch I decided I needed to go for a walk and clear off some of the calories I've eaten today.

Made some quick plans with Cravo10 to head up to Roleystone and grab a couple of caches, a bunch of nice quick finds but we had to leave the bush near Araluen after being nearly eaten alive by the March flies! They were incredibly persistent and you couldn't stay still to sign the log without being devoured alive.

We will have to come back up this way to finish off the Two CPS puzzles and the carpo brotus finals nearby which we didn't get time to pickup last time or today either.

Thanks

I was up this way early today on a reconnaissance mission for some likely cache placement locations and had just enough time to have ago at this little group of caches.

Arrived at GZ and had a quick find of the unexpected ammo can, a welcome surprise. Always good to find a cache from the previous decade as well.

AusTrackers I found your cache at 9:08am, this was the 5th of 5 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3463. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

Today was a long time coming. Mr OOH-Yeh and myself had been planning to head out and make a sever dint on the pipeline series. The weather was looking ominous but we still maintained the plan.
An early start to the day and the clouds were huge, as was the rain on the windscreen as we headed up.
We decided to head in and find the five or so in this area as the rain was looking ominous so we didnt fancy a long walk getting soaked.
Another good find here. Love these types of container.
TFTH Austrackers.

Kyzabra and myself had planned to do the C=C=C series and as we headed up into the hills the heavens open up and dumped its load so it was a quick revise and not wasting the day a new plan was put into place grab some drive by ....... As we managed to get 22 and 1 DNF so not a bad day caching .....We manage to come in on the bush track so it was a short walk to pick up ones in the area .....This one was a quick find TFTC....

Mickeydv was objecting to finding any more caches whereas I wanted to go on and find a few of the high terrain multis in the area. It seems you should never say never - he really was too old today. Razz This ended up being our last Roleystone cache. Thanks for yet another cache AusTrackers.

WanderingAus wandered by, heading towards this cache under the direction of TomTom, and found myself stopped by a gate at the end of Wymond Road. TomTom wanted me to turn right onto Old Albany Lane, but the gate looked like one of those National Park access gates, securely locked, so I decided I would ride my bike the 2.2 Km remaining to Never Too Old. After ten minutes of preparation and bike loading I headed around the gate and up the hill. I hadn't gone far when I observed a rather large house on another road, and looking at the map on the gpsr realised that road (Heritage Drive) was heading my way and was obviously a public road.

I turned around and headed back down the hill, and noticed GC2ERHW Eclipseae mintalis by AusTrackers off to the side. I'd previously decided that was not a cache I wanted to hunt, having made my preference for cabin trunks, tea chests and similar sized caches in the bush where they would fit known widely. I actually went past the access track, returned the bike to the bike rack on the geoPajero, put the gpsrs back in their mounts, and started the engine, before deciding, since I was so close, "I might as well hunt that one anyway".

It didn't take long for me to hunt that one down, then I was on my way towards Never Too Old once more. I'd noticed GC2FR74 Cayden's Cache by mackerals as well as GC293WB Roley Pool by AlliedOz / The Jokers and it's parking waypoint pop up when I went past, and had decided to hunt them down on my return (reserving the cooler morning hours for what I expected to be a long ride to Never Too Old. As I wouldn't be going past again I decided they needed hunting before leaving the area.

After successfully hunting down Cayden's Cache and Roley Pool I asked TomTom to take me to Heritage Drive/Croydon Road, and from there to Never Too Old, and it finally got me to the parking point. As I bush-bashed towards the cache I noticed the track heading in the right direction, and realised I could probably have driven to within 30 metres of GZ. That would have been really annoying if I'd ridden that 2.2 Km, with another 2.2Km to get back to the geoPajero.

As I approached GZ I spotted the likely hide from about 15 metres away and made an extremely quick and easy GAFF 0 find.

My find No 3485, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped Takkie TB (ref = TBE27F) and Bee-Ware Geocoin (ref = TB1NB47), also dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC and my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB in for a visit before grabbing them back again. I also dropped some of my finders cards for AusTrackers to fill some gaps in their album.

Found this one and then went for a walk in the bush, never knew this piece of bushland was here. Thanks for the Cache.

Came at it from the Churchman Brook (i.e. wrong) side of the hill, which made for a lot of climbing. The cache is located in a nice spot, and our eldest daugther was the first to spot it. Thanks for a lot of fun!

Wow, I always say this when in this area, the scenery is fantastic. We tried to do this one last week but was given a bum-steer from both Google Maps and my trusty Tom Tom. The Old Albany Road they sent us down had a gate across it. After some homework, we took the drive through the Roleystone hills off Brookton Hwy to the cache. I now know which suburb I want to live in!!!

Cache still in good nick. We signed the log and TNLN. TFTC!!
