Stonehenge - The return of the Druids Ashmont, New South Wales, Australia
By Hinklenator on 09-Feb-10. Waypoint GC23TCG

After my last visit, I confirmed the hide with CO and it is definitely gone. Made the trek out with a new container so this is now back and ready for more finds.Glad I was able to keep some older hides alive as it would be a shame to lose them. Thanks for making the original hide Hinklenator, the community is with you.

Pretty sure I found the hide but the cover was lying on the ground and hide was empty. Have MSGed owner.

The cache has definitely seen better days, but it’s still serviceable. Interesting spot, wondering what the history or original use was?

TFTC

Out exploring with my blue dog. Found it, thank you for the cache.

Cache was found without any issues, though there is no container holding this one anymore. And the result was a wet and soggy logbook. Will need replacement before anyone can use it.

Good hide!

Book is waterlogged

Found it after a cheeky message! Logged and left the goodies. TFTC

Terrific location, found it after the little trickery

Found the decoy and then the cache. Log is damp but with the finer weather approaching should dry out soon.

Interesting location. Log book is water damaged but managed to sign it. TFTC!

Quick find.

Nice quick find with the help of my trusty doggo Chopper. TFTC

Found it. Log is very wet. Good location. TFTC. First one for my morning fitness.

An easy find while in the park although there was only a logbook in a bag.

Dez (JezNDez), Lennondayz29 and I headed off on Friday from Brisbane, making our leisurely way south towards the Mega event in Queanbeyan. Our overnight stop last night was Dubbo and, with an early start, continued our journey southwards. Another cracking autumn day with sun shining and barely a cloud in the sky.

After a full day of caching and a slight change to the itinerary of caches due to time getting away from us, we arrived into Wagga late afternoon. After dropping Lennondayz29 at our overnight accommodation, Dez and I headed out to target this and another nearby cache that, for some reason, had not seen a visitor in 20 months.

There were a few local walkers in the area but most were heading back to the cars as we arrived. Setting off in the failing light, we pondered the lack of recent finders. It's an easily accessible location with good trails that would easily accommodate a decent stroller and lead almost the entire way to GZ! And an interesting structure at the final destination to top it all off.

At GZ the decoy was first located but then only the logbook was found, minus any container, After signing the log we replaced it with a little more protection against the elements, but will need a new container to ensure longevity of the logbook.

A great area to walk in, and definitely deserves more visitors. TFTC

Headed out of Brisbane on Friday afternoon with Seff and Lennondayz29 to head to the Mega. We had our first overnight stop in Moree, spent Saturday caching our way to Dubbo for another overnight stop, and Sunday was spent working our way through more of the epic Seff-list. Finally we arrived in Wagga and dropped Lennondayz off at the accommodation to get cleaned up and have a break before dinner, while Seff and I headed out for a few more caches, including this one.

As we parked Victor del Prado and headed off down the track we saw a few walkers returning to their vehicles in the fading light; apparently we were the only ones nuts enough to be heading out in the fading light! Having seen a NT plate in the carpark this was something of a relief as I'd been joking about some random territories cacher beating us to the unloved on offer here!

The track made for a seriously easy stroll to GZ where the cache, well, the decoy and log book anyway, were found very easily. Seems like any cache container has long gone! Seff and I were able to bodge something up using what was available and a ziploc bag donated by Seff, but this will need a new container at some point - it's amazing the log book is in such good condition! TFTC and the unloved.

I have another day off work. I guess I could go get some geocaches for the last souvenir of the month. It was a great day as the warm sun was shining and the birds were singing. All this and great locations made for a fun day. Thanks to all CO’s for the fun I had and the caches I found today.
On arrival at GZ within a minute or two I found the red herring and then a minute or two later I found the soggy log book. I could just make my mark as shown in the picture. Great location!

Found it the other week, forgot to log it till now.. Nice location..

Cache is a bit waterlogged, great hiding place

A cross country compass bearing through the pines from the Pommy Galah was not the easiest way to find this cache with the expected deviation down hill from the intended route. Fortunately, the GZ is easy to find but then the question of where is the cache. This is one of those places that you would never find but for geocaching and I was glad to discover this art setting in the bush. Shame about the morons who have to destroy things though....The log was found because the lid was on the ground which led to a soaked cache log discovery. I would have taken the log home to dry it out but I don't know when I will be back. The soaked cache will need some attention though.....Thanks Hinklenator for a cache in a place well worth discovering, definitely a favourite.

Nice hide! Took a while.

This one gets a Fav from us. Great hide and a great walk to get it.

Was a but spider webb-y under the cover, but wasn't bit. Good hide. Tftc

Realised halfway didnt bring a pen. So no physical log will have to come back another time. TFTC

Headed out to this reserve, to pick up some caches in the area.

This was a clever hide, which we enjoyed finding.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Hinklenator, for us and others to find.

The GP's had issues that the iphone didn't, this place was diffrent TFTC Hinklenator

[:(!] In Wagga for the week and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

Cool spot - TFTC

Found this one on a fantastic little walk around pomi... Had a sit down here and just enjoyed the peace and quiet. TFTC

Clever hide. TFTC

#424 it has been a little time since I have been at the computer to do some logging now it is well and truly time to catch up on the geocache logging and leave the waymarks alone for a little while although it has been fun adding a number of waymarks. Just to keep you all up to date I am on day 125 of continuous caching and have 28 days of caching to log before I am up to date.

This was an early morning raid before the rains hit. The walk to GZ was enjoyable despite the weather begging to set in with the forecast for rain today it was great to get it whilst still dry. This was a nice play on the name and just an interesting place to visit. It is a shame there is no information about this at the site.

Thanks Hinklenator for a great place and an interesting cache.

4th for the day, nice walk in the bush

1816 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1145.This has been on the to-do list now for we don't remember how long so after packing the push bike into the truck baby made the effort.We had done the first cache near here just after we started caching so it was nice for a return visit.Found both today and the main one is in good condition.SL visited CacheMover coin Tnx Hinklenator.

Great hide

Tftc

After catching a few caches at the top of the hill we decided to head back to the car, but after loosing my bearing we accidentally walked straight towards this one instead. After finally pulling out the iPhone, I realised how close we were. So we hit this one quickly on the head. Am glad we made the detour. It's a nice cache at an interest place! TFTC!

Last cache on the way out just as the night was really starting to chill down. Found the most obvious bit first , before finding the correct one shortly afterwards. Nice job. TFTC.

Found with o'cholio. TFTC

Found the decoy. Not the real thing.

Quite a long walk from the carpark near the golf course, but it was a pleasant sunny day so didn't mind. Not being a local got a little lost on the tracks, ended up cutting through the bush to GZ. Not the sort of structures expecting out here... An easy find although the decoy had me fooled! Thanks.

We thought seen as the weather had dropped considerably it was time to tackle the caches in the "Car free Pommy Park" we had been putting off for some time.
A very interesting location - many thanks Hinklenator for sharing this spot with us - and hanging out for the afternoon!

Nice decoy and great hide! Tftc

#1139 @ 4.25pm. Continuing our walk in the area this hot and humid arvo - we had wet t-shirts and red faces. Interesting place at GZ which is in need of some TLC - perhaps they should let vehicles back in . Dad found the log book on the ground next to GZ and soon after the Queen located the lid of the cache. The log book was saturated so we've replaced with a new one and have replaced where it was meant to be. We can post log book to you - just email your details. TNLNSL TFTC Hinklenator - very nice hide [^]

BEWARE: We parked at the entrance to this park near the Golf Course and the NinjaGolf was assaulted (as well as another) whilst we were walking this area. Future cachers may prefer to park in the Golf Car Park for safety otherwise locals may be able to provide safer parking co-ords. It seems that this is not the 1st time incidents such as this have occurred here. We had a breezy trip back to Albury praying that it wouldn't rain (& it did!) & our load was lightened substantially .....BUGGAR.

What a wierd place and more creepy at night time. Found on our first true night cache run with Oakeydoakey. Nice hide in good condition.
This was the last in this area for the night. No vehicle access means that we had to park over near the golf course and walk through the park to get the caches in order so we have a long walk back from this one. You don't realise how many spiders there are until you walk through them all at night.

Interesting place! Geokid enjoyed finding this one.

tftc Really good coorinates, well done, enjoyed the hide

I initially logged the wrong Stonehenge cache (GCP08M). At the time I thought it was quite odd that my GPSr showed the cache to be 35 metres away, whilst Ciril’s was spot on. Despite finding the cache archived I went ahead and happily logged it, although I did think it was a bit strange. I have been back to the cache lisiting several times to see if it had been re-instated. On checking up recently and noticing that there were still no logs from many of the other Mega visitors my suspicions increased, so I searched for my nearby unfound caches. Lo and behold this one came up about 30 metres away! On the night we were there we hadn’t actually planned on doing this cache, but on Astro's advice we finished off our round of night caching at this spot. Looked so interesting, pity the pillars have not been maintained, but the fallen stones fit in with the Stonehenge concept.

ROCKY GLEN GROMMETS found this with crane2 and ciril when in Wagga Wagga for the Oz Mega - found out while night caching. Amazing structures.

Cool little spot that I never knew existed. I was in a bit of a rush to grab as many caches as I could over the weekend so didn't stop to really take in the effort of the area, but I will return. Thank you for showing me this area.

Kaid

Hehehe liked this one! Coordinates were spot on, and with Piglet's help, Cheesy pig grabbed this one! I enjoyed the sneaky hide!

Found on the Oz Mega trip.
Many thanks.

Found this while touring around with Team Young at Heart on the Oz Mega Event

Found whilst out caching with Rocky Glen Grommetts and Crane 2. Clever hide

The area was well worth a cache and 3daygrowth made another quick find while I buggered about.
As we were leaving a mass of kangaroos bounded right past us - quite a sight!
Thanks for the cache Hinklenator

A bit of a hunt but got there in the end

tried this one once before but could not find it,but got him this time.A good hide .TFTC.

Nice spot, clever hide

Found as part of the Wagga Mega event activities but logged much later, sorry. Found on a night expedition in company with tk2 Gum-Ako and Astro. Thanks for the cache.

They say it was an astronomical calculator. Most say for eclipses and things like that. Duncan Steel says otherwise. Read his book on Armageddon and he says they used it to predict deathly meteor showers. The longbows nearby were the air raid shelters. I like that theory. Pray for clear skies.

Did this in the late evening with a crew from the Mega event.tftc

This was cache # 4 of 28 for the day in the company of acts2youthgroup on day Four of our Oz Mega event.
Drove to this cache before we headed up hill.
It's a shame that this has been vandalized, as it would have looked great if all the statues were standing.
Thanks to Hinklenator for the cache.

This was cache # 4 of 25 for the day in the company of hipressure on day Four of our Oz Mega event trip. I have been to this location before when the henge was brand new, its a shame to see how it has been vandalized. My thanks to Hinklenator for the cache.

Here for the Oz Mega Event. Very sad to see that some hoons have knocked over a few of the poles.
Lots of rubbish around too. TFTC.

What a fascinating little spot. Had us initially puzzled until we realised what size it was, then quickly found.

Found in the very early hours of Easter morning with Team Ermalesh and The Kettles.

This was a clever hide and we chuckled at the decoy!

We’ve found the chache without any problems, thanks a lot for hiding it.
Hobel’s from switzerland

Mrs Ozjeeper had a hunch where this one would be hidden and she was right. We grabbed it whilst we were counting columns for one of the Oz Mega Event Caches. Thanks for bringing us to this unusual spot.

Mega 10. Back to this wonderful monument. A real pity about the ones knocked over. Thanks.

Found this one with our friend from S.A.

2:22pm
An easy find in an area we spent some time in last trip down this way. A quick offroad saunter and we were at the top of the hill grabbing another clue to the ozopoly game.

Cheers

Found with Richlink. An easy find.

Found during night cache raid at the OZ MEGA Event in Wagga. Princess Consuela (read TWDG) in the company of Team Ermalesh. TFTC

This was a clever hide, interesting spot. Did this while on the Oz mega challenge Thanks for the cache, Andrew and Maryan.

Found with WalW and Jemmalong and Blue_Mars whilst at Oz Mega Event

Found while doing the oz-mega challenge. We took the long way, but thankfully the geo-parents had an excellent geo-mobile. Clever hide, had a giggle here. TFTC.

I found this one late at night with a group of cachers from the mega event.
Spooky place with a half moon lighting the place up.
Nice hide too.
TFTC

Excellent hide!

Even though we didn't technically qualify for the game, myself and Mrs Murf went for a drive to check out some of the OZ Megopoly. We subsequently found ourselves here, with an unfound cache staring up from the GPS. Too good an opportunity to pass up, and it turned out to be a nifty hide too. I have to credit Mrs Murf with the eyes this time, as she quickly pointed it out to me.
Cheers,
Murf & Mrs Murf.

Found while in Wagga for for Oz Mega (thank you to all involved for a terrific weekend)

Found with Moneydork, Rediguana, Tofska, and Pohutukawa. Out and about finding some caches during our stay at the Mega event.
Really interesting, shame about the vandalism.

Very cool place. Like the artwork, and the surreal sounds of the night life. T4TC, M@

Took a little hunting, found the decoy, didn't take long to find the real cache. Cheers Gav [5347]

found at night with a large group after doing the local night caches

Found whilst on a night time cache run with Team Ermalesh and Princess Consuela, during the OZ MEGA event. An interesting spot. Thanks for bringing us here.

Cool Pillars, TFTC

found with facit family and rhinogeo tftc

Missed this one when were came here for the Mega game but got it when we came up to do the night caches. A very clever hide that is more difficult for us vertically challenged cachers.

TFTC

While doing the OZ Mega, Ozmegolopy ran into some fellow cachers and checked this one out. TFTC.

Found while playing the Monopoly game from the megga event

We had decided to concentrate on the Oz Mega Megopoly game and not worry about finding traditional caches. But after running into another geocacher further up the hill who told us about this one we couldn't resist the temptation to come back for a smilie.

While we were replacing it we were 'caught' by a lovely little family with whom we made friends before the day was out. I love geocaching!

Find 37 of the day and eighth for the night after attending the Oz Mega Event, meet up with TWDG (renamed The 'Blind' Dog Gang), Princess Consuela and The Kettles for an onslaught on the Pomingalama Park and it's many cache's. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Accompanied with Alchemy2, Varuna, Everlasting.. Interesting with this.. TFTC

We grabbed this one while attending the OZ Mega Wagga Wagga. The amount of times that this cache has been and will be found this weekend should make it qualify for a record.
Many thanks to Hinklenator for setting up this cache.

Found whilst travelling to the Oz Mega Event in the company of Mooshell_22.
Another country cache that was great to visit

One of many finders for the weekend. Grabbed this one as we were getting megopoly pieces, as we pulled up we were joined by 4 other cars all after the same piece. None of us could resist grabbing this nearby cache, love the added piece to the cache

Great cache in a great location

4th of 9 for the day and the 5th for the weekend not including game pieces

A very clever find. Pity the columns have been damaged.
