Left home early to do a spot of caching before the Dam event. TFTC Austracker
Shared a lovely walk through the bush with my partner to find this cute cache! Geosmashing!
The GPS had me all over the show on this one but I finally spotted GZ. Container and log in good condition. Added some trinkets and headed off on this beautiful day.
Jumping across generations with this one. Went out with my 5 and 8 year old sons for their second geocache trip. Thanks for providing this trip to get them amongst the lovely bush we live in.
Lovely big cache as a reward for small bit of a bush bash. Thanks for helping me reach 301 days filled in our calendar - the end is in sight!
**Found this while House Sitting in Bedfordale**
*Out and about letting my GPS be my guide*...
A overcast day with a few showers and *rain* sometimes. Parked nearby and strolled to GZ. Managed to grab 15 today with 2 DNF's so a great day out.
A nice container in a lovely area. These are the mint tins that I love to find in the bush. Thanks to your Mother's too
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment AusTrackers. Appreciate your effort.

Out and about early in this stretch of woods for the first time. I found the coords to be spot on, a quick find here. Ammo box remains in good condition. TFTC AusTrackers
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 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
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.

Quick find here too, TFTH.

After finishing a couple of the nearby series I drove around to this spot to grab some more smileys and I am pleased I did. Ammo cans are the best. Thanks for placing this container . TFTC AusTrackers
After work with 2 hours to spare, I decided to do the caches in this hill, I came a cross a number of good hide and all caches were in good condition...TFTC
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.

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....
Decided it is time to clean up a few caches around Roleystone. This is one of them. TFTC
Great swaps & took TB.

Gotta love weekends! After a crazy week, was great to get out on the geocaching trail again. After doing the nearby series, we continued on to try these caches too. Beautiful piece of bushland. Easy find at gz. Dropped a tb to continue it's journey. Thanks AusTrackers
First of the series attempted today with KC41194.
Planning on collecting all the nearby ones!
One of 20 finds for the day!

Was down this way playing golf at Araluen so arrived early to tackle a few nearby caches. Always nice to find an ammo box after a nice walk through the bush. Easy find once the GPS settled down. TFTC.
our last cache for the day, great one for the kids. My daughter was very excited to take the my littlest petshop figurine and we left a mini frisbee. Thanks!
[:(!] Went for a day of caching, parked the geocar close to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ and within a couple minutes I had the cache in hand. TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH
Spent a couple of hours picking up a few of the caches in the area:
Cayden's Cache, Churchman Challenge,CPS-10, CPS-09, CPS-11, CPS-08, CPS-12, CPS-07, CPS-27, CPS-28, Brotus, Kermit Froggy, 3, 2, 1, blast off!, The cache on the moon, You are my sunshine..., Herr Heinrich Holzkopf and finally Never Too Old.
A nice easy find. This was my final for the morning before heading back to Churchmans Brook. 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. This ended up being our last Roleystone cache. Thanks for yet another cache AusTrackers.
Welcome quick find after long day...was starting to feel old.....thanks again AusTrackers
There are not really many places it could be after the fire
Quickly found and log signed

As I approached this cache I was a bit worried by all the signs of a recent fire, but luckily all was safe and sound at GZ.
Another enjoyable cache in the bush, thanks AusTrackers!

A short walk to this one from Me&B's 3 caches close bye. Nice quick find, LNTN TFTF.
So after a good mornings walk in the regional park close by we decided to pick up a few other local
Caches before heading Westwards.
Another great Cache.

Out today bushwalking with friends, we started at Churchman Brook Reservoir and trekked over to Canning Reservoir for lunch. Dropped in and dropped off BadAndy Downunder TB.
Thanks

Just out walking in Wungong Regional Park and tripped over some AusTrackers caches. Great to find caches not under our favourite small tree. Can across Bill out patrolling his park and enjoyed our chat.
Thanks AusTrackers.
Thanks AusTrackers.
Dropped in to find this cache after visiting two others nearby.

On a beautiful sunny afternoon took the opportunity for a walk through the Australian bush picking up another three nearby caches on the way. TFTC.
Last cache for the day, found easily enough in its hiding place.
Dropped off Urch's Geotalk Geocoin and First Austrian Geocow Geocoin, this coin wants to be near kangaroos and there are many around here.
Thanks for the cache.

The co-ords are good, easy find in a lovely bit of bush.What more could you want.
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!!
