No hollow logs to be found. Searched for a while

Needs to placed again

Lots of Write Note logs commenting on the condition of the cahe, 3 DNF's stretching back to October 2017 and an unactioned Needs Maintenance in April 2017 gives the impression this one is unloved and has been abandoned. Perhaps it's time for it to go!

We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! We're a tipp'n it's a miss'n.

Thanks for the hunt anyway joshboy1001.

Not sure about this one. If but tree, you mean stump, it's empty. If by tree, you mean tree, then i could see no holes. Of course, I was only using the phone and it seemed confused about where to be.

No luck today

Found remnants of cache and log but needs replacing please.

Just an update for my trackables to visit

Found it thanks

Thanks for the great hide

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

TFTC. Quick find as we headed back to Cowra from the Harry Potter Trail. The log is saturated, managed to scrawl our name on the log.

Log is saturated and needs replacemeng

A quick find on our way through.
Unable to sign as log is soaked.

Log is wet. Very wet.

Found, but oh boy the log is wet, moulded and not suitable for writing on! Could do with some maintenance (as has been noted previously). I am usually very good about taking photos of logs I haven't signed, but yet again I'd forgotten my camera back in the car, and was on a tight schedule, so my apologies at having no evidence to offer for my find If it helps, I can describe what the container looks like if required ;p TFTC

We finally made it to the Cherry Festival, we always miss it! Anyway after a lovely day out we had some time for a spot of caching. Nice easy find. TFTC

On a mid-western run to Temora ...

Crikey, that grass is thick. Made way to a likely hide and dnf ... leaving, tripped over something in the grass ... oh, a look here and Welcome to Noonbinna, indeed. Thanks for the cache, Joshboy1001

After a lengthy stop in Young for some lunch this was another quick find. We parked on the other side of the road and soon had the cache in our hands however the log was quite damp. TFTC

We parked the car not all that far from GZ on the other side of the road and trotted across long grass and made a quick find. Our first cache found in the Cowra shire. tftc

Quick find in an interesting location
Tftc

Quick find by side of Rd. Cowra here we come. Tftc.

Found at 2:42:00 PM

Finally another non-micro. I was sick of all the macros in Cowra so I headed out of town for some bigger caches. This was a pretty easy find.

Thanks joshboy1001

TFTC not as close to the fence as I thought!

Found Nice easy one

Quick find here TFTC. Had a day caching in Cowra and surrounds, and heading back to camp now. Travelling slowly homewards after a six month stay in Tassie.

I had a caching route planned for today, grabbing a few T5 caches and a power trail, with scattered caches between.

Thanks for the cache.

Day 1 of a three-day road trip from Melbourne to the Gold Coast...today's destination Canowindra. With not all that far to go...relatively speaking...there was plenty of time for caches along the way. My objective for the day was primarily to find caches that would fill in missing 10km bands for "The Well Travelled Cacher Challenge: Vic" cache.

Welcome? It depends on your point of view...or to be more precise, your direction of travel . The welcome sign came and went and we were still nowhere near the cache...but there is was at the other end of "town"...when it was time to say Farewell.

Thanks joshboy1001 for the cache...

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there joshboy1001. We found your cache "WELCOME TO Noonbinna!" at 11:53:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 12002.
[Blue]
We arrived in Cowra yesterday and decided that the nice sunny days would be great to make a dent in the local 'caches. We started off at a random cache and then navigated to the one the GPS said was next closest, and so on. We ended up logging 10 and DNF'd 6.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Excellent cache! Good find. Cache itself is damp. Have taken the 'shooting and trapping' magnet and will relocate it as requested!

Plans were made with the FurfacesLL ladies to do a loop of Cowra, Grenfell and surrounds. Although I have recently been on this loop with Tanso, I was keen to head out again with the girls and even attack a couple of the DNF's from the previous trip. I managed to pick up a total of 18 finds today and 1 cache was DNF'ed again after another extensive look.

Thanks joshboy1001 for placing these caches, lovely area especially on a day like today. and thanks to FFLL ladies for another nice caching day out

Our only free day for quite some time so we decided to head out on a geomission around the area. We have had a couple of mini tours lately, but today we went all out to Cowra and Grenfell to see how many we could find. Rapidlywild came along for the drive to fill her gaps where she has previously posted DNF's. The weather was lovely and the drive was picturesque, thank you to all the cache owners for bringing us to this lovely part of Australia.

A quick stop on the side of the road, found the cache quickly.

Out caching today. Having a great time. TFTC!

A nice quick find on our way down to Temora, and eventually heading home to Beaufort VIC. TFTC joshboy1001

Thanks for this cache Joshboy 1001. It was a little damp inside the container probably due to winter and how this inspires condensation in caches. The logbook is dry. Great location and please leave more caches on your travels. Great location.

Nice sunny day off to Cowra again. Hint is a little off in description. TFTC. With AESPL

The eighth of 24 today, after visiting Cowra for what was supposed to be a family holiday. In the end, it was just my dad and I after the other half of the family couldn't come. Pulling off the road today was easy as there was no one around! I made my way over to GZ and found the cache quickly. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC joshboy1001!

Found while travelling south on what was a lovely morning. Thanks for placing this cache.

Found on a return road trip from the Stanthorpe MEGA, many thanks for the hide.

On our way home after the oz mega, back to Victoria

Day two of my roadtrip started in Wodonga, after a night at Jamin Applefords, we started making our way north towards the 2015 Mega event in Stanthorpe, QLD. The main caches I wanted to find were ones that helped me to qualify for "The Well Travelled Cacher Challenge" in Moe.

A nice quick one on the way through town while making sure we avoided the big trucks barreling down the road.

Thanks to joshboy1001 for the cache. TNLN

Big things are happening! Are you joining the fun?

Quick find on day one of our trip to the Stanthorpe Oz Mega!

Another easy find. TFTC

Today we explored Young and surrounds with Whitewebbs heading towards Stanthorpe for the Mega using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Out and about caching with Tassie Trekkers as we head to Stanthorpe for the Qld Mega. A quick find. TFTC

Passing through and stopped for this nice simple one.

Day 79 of my trip to Brisbane.

Seventh day on the road, today we're headed for Young. We'll have brekky, do a few caches in Bathurst, then head off, caching the while. I'm a bit late with the logging, I'm home now, and have five days of caching to log, of which this is the fourth. Have I made 1000 caches on the trip? Today's twenty gets me to 994.

No 19 of 20 today. Thanks, joshboy1001.Yep, the 4WD was handy. This was an easy find once I got the right stump.

Easy find after checking the correct stump. TFTC Joshboy1001

LONG dry grass here glad no snakes around today, a BIG flock of sheep trying to get into the shade of 2 medium sized trees. Easy find TFTC

Nice easy find, discovered it wasn't near the fence but don't let that stump you. TFTC

#2165 thanks for the cache.

We are on a road trip heading to the ACT - it was great to be able to have a stop and do this cache. We are enjoying the beautiful rural scenery. [^][^] Thanks to joshboy1001.

Last cache due to storm/rain etc... Signed the log. Thanks joshboy1001

Ergh.. dry grass, grass seeds.. and it wasn't worth it.. meaning, the cache isn't near the fence. We ploughed on over thinking it would be easy from there.. follow your GPS, the vehicle tracks and you will avoid a lot of prickly things.. Thanks anyway joshboy1001. it is actually a good hide (just not near the fence!)

Yes and a thousand grass seeds. TFTC

On a motorcycle trip to northern nsw, I found this cache. Many thanks for hiding it.
Crusty.

Tftc, cache is in good order

Thanks joshbou1001 for bringing me here a nice quiet spot. All well in the cache. TFTC TNLN SL.

Find #14 for our trip.

Easy find

Thanks for the cache

We had just driven out from Cowra to do 100% Beef. So, what the heck, now that we are here we may as well go a bit further. Of course you could finish up in Albury with that sort of thinking . TFTC.

Quick find on a drive by. TFTC. Cache in good condition.

Lovely early morning find

That's another one for us!! 4 now!!

Found with Falling Rock. TNLN, TFTC

Great cache. Beautiful day for a walk. Found it with StumbleTrip. TNLN. TFTC

A quick find, although the placement doesn't fit the clue. Maybe the fence has been moved?
Cache in good condition. TNLNSL TFTC

Good cache in good condition easy find.

Was crawling along behind a string of cars behind a slow harvester so took a chance for a break. Parked and the phone GPS died on 38m so I used the hint and homed in on a spot. Had to reach in further than I would have liked through the spiders! Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

Great little hide. Thanks

Lots of ants

Tichedana found this TFTC

GPS wouldn't settle but soon had it in hand.
Took fence left solider.

Found it. THTC

Found this cache a few weeks back but somehow it escaped my attention when logging my finds for the day. TFTC

Have been planning another trip down to Wagga Wagga. But had to postpone it while the Geo Dawg was recuperating from her knee operation and now she has recovered it is time to put the plan into action. Rather than travelling down the boring concrete strip called Hume. I decided to head out West through Bathurst, Blaney and then South to Cowra, Young hence Wagga Wagga with a view to complete the RGGT Series and find others caches of opportunity along the way. Great cache. TFTC

Got it. Tftc

Lovely peppermint smell great hide

I got bitten by a huge ant at this cache, but I think I picked it up at an earlier cache next to an ants nest.

A nice, quick find, just what you need to break up a long trip a bit.

Thanks

We found this cache nice and easily. Unfortunately for Toriaz, an ant found her nice and easily and gave her a good bite when we got back in the car. It was a very naughty ant. Thanks.

A great little hidey-hole. At first I thought it might be home to one of our native creatures, but no, just a well hidden cache! Found with geo-son and aden's girl.

Found on a run to Queensland with Poynts95 and Sportacuss. Also had with me a few of the kids, James and Jemma. We had an enjoyable trip, stayed in a few motels on the way and bagged 35 caches total. Not huge numbers, but a good mix. Thanks to all cache owners who have hidden and maintain the caches found.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nice quick grab on the way through. TFTC.

A completely snake free experience today! Thanks...

Some sort of shampoo spilt in bottom

Nice drive by

Literally fell over it in the dark
