This cache is in need of maintenance or needs to be archived, it's definitely not anywhere to be found.
The final day of the world-wide tour of Dubbo with Doppelfrog. For a trip to Dubbo we have taken a route through Boorowa, Blaney, Orange, Coonabrarbran, Naromine, Parkes, Forbes, Grenfell, Cowra and Wyangalla. We even spent a day in Dubbo! Having already obtained a take-away coffee in Cowra we were in need of a stop - unforutnately this location offered us no bin (for coffee cups), no loo, and no cache either. Oh well - the next stop is not far away.
On our way to Wyangala during a house sitting assignment in Cowra. Not good to start a caching day with a DNF
A good hint, simple hide,detailed logs no find.We had a good look around all the trees within 10mtrs with the t & d it should be easy but I think it's gone,
Cheers

TaurusSix and decided to drive home this way and this was one of the caches we got.
After going to the Observatory my boys and I thought it were close enough so give it a go even in the dark.
Thanks Acko

Another off road town we had never been through and the park was a credit to the town.

Was about to give up when Justjessie found the old log on the ground. Rather surprisingly readable!! Container and whatever else gone. Onlything we could come up with was a yellow kinda surprise eggs, so have placed back in tree base with some camo, but would suggest a new container ASAP.
Found before we stopped for the night.

Another nice warm autumn day for drive and a nice park to find a cache in.
Thanks wbfoto.
Thanks wbfoto.
The old container was a dead give away so we consigned it to the bin.
Thanks wbfoto
Thanks wbfoto
We found the cache but it had been moved and destroyed by act of dog replaced at gz with yellow kidder surprise container containing dry log
1903 found by baby&Mrs gopher at 0955.The container was in the open and full of water.Replaced at where we thought it should be.SL Tnx wbfoto
will be through there on thursday and will check it out. its original cammo has been cut down so a small shif may be in order.
First to find this year! Yay
Found log very wet and soggy so took to the car and let it dry out on the sunny and hot dashboard. Once dry, we signed log and replaced it in the cache. However withy the thunderstorms this evening, don't know how long it will stay dry for - but we didn't have a plastic bag to put it in. Maybe the next cacher can take one out to put log into? TFTC

Nice quick find as it was sitting out in the open and on opening it found the log very wet.
It was too wet to sign, and not having any replacement logs, put it out in the sun for a bit but it would of taken all day to dry.
Might need a checkup.

Eighth Gx for the 3rd day of GX cycle touring and camping. Toilet available as part of the recreation area, as well as non-potable water.
Made a be-line to the GZ and quickly found it , and then I spied the two churches and decided to have a look see, but apparently the bigger one one higher up is now a private residence, so I stopped at the new(ish) Church and there a lovely lady told me the story, including the one they where the town was named after a guy called Derby who took a fall at the River, believe it or not?
thanks for the visit
Next stop Canowindra and a FTF attempt .. fingers crossed.

Found this on a Wet Cold day on the way north to meet up with a muggle friend, today is the day to induct him to caching TNLN SL TFTC
Lovely sunny day to do caching today...Ms Bushies2 spotted it straight away because it was exposed...we covered it properly before we left...then when we walked to our wagon, a muggle came up to us and told us that she worked on the garden and did the mulching around the trees! Glad she didn't find the cache Thanks wbfoto.
Stopped on our way to Cowra. Lovely drive out this way good place to stop and have some lunch. After finding cache had to brush off knees and remove tree branches from hair. If you have kids send them In. Lol
Darby Falls, spectacular rock formations, valleys and a great little cache. Thanks for the hide.
Although our route was taking us up past Wyangala, we made a short detour to the bustling metropolis of Darby Falls. The boys made the find while I was very grateful for the locally built convenience - obviously put together from a garden shed and spare pieces of plumbing, hand basin and so on. It was great, and nice and clean. Thanks wbfoto.
The first cache for me for a few k's as I had already grab a few on a previous visit.
Enjoy this spot as the picnic tables are a good use of items that can be re-use. Well done to whoever thought of th idea.
Thanks wbfoto for bringing us here.

We stopped at this nice quiet spot to grab some lunch.
We had the correct GZ, but it still took quite a bit of searching before I spotted the cache.
Thanks.

Fairly easy to find and my scratches will soon heal. Cache was exposed but it will be harder to find now! TFTC
Beautiful and peaceful place for a picnic lunch and then a cache to add to the pleasure. Thanks.
A nice easy find that one Smelly took quick smart while the other Smelly was letting the geohounds out for a stroll to stretch their legs.
A quick stop over in a quite park area. A good chance for the young ones to run a muck for a while.

Nice easy find at Darbys Falls, probably the only time I have ever stopper here. TFTC
On our way home, after a day out with Blackbunny. He had been to all these caches in this series so I had all the help I needed to find them. This one was at a nice little park that I remember going past when I had a gf in cowra. She liked fishing and we used to go to the nearby dam. Thanks for bringing me back to this little town TFTC
It has been a very long time since we traveled this road but with a string of caches to find it was the day to revisit ! we had some passengers today, with Mr R's Dad and cousin coming for the day out, all bar 1 has been through here many times before.
Lucky we took the Audrey as she spotted the cache as 4 of us looked like chooks around a feed at Gz, thanx heaps for the cache, we think these caches will get quiet a few passer's by !

Rated: for Overall Experience
Our last for the night, before heading into Cowra, and home the slightly shorter way.
We loved the trip, and the caches, so thanks, WBFOTO!
This cache was straightforward, and where we thought it should be, so a nice easy one for our last.
