I took a seat (not the correct seat) and admired the view ....... and admired the view ........ and admired the view ....... while waiting for a family of muggles (who had appeared set up camp for life on a nearby seat) to move on. I eventually gave up and decided to to the Hampden Ramble so drove off around two corners and saw the muggles had finally decided to move away so I bee-lined back to GZ and made a quick find.

A bonus trad to glean while in town to see the large spud. Never knew the town had a 'big thing' so it was nice to detour from my drive from Nowra to Canberra, and check out the starch ball in person. Big GrinI nipped around the back, zeroed in on GZ and soon had the cache in hand. G69 added to the log, I tucked i back in place and made a beeline for a couple of others around Goulburn.Thanks to Rock-hopper for the original cache placement and to NationalSteel for keeping it in the game.

A nice day trip with Tankengine to attend the event at Cascade Falls and to cache around a little with friends. Found it with the 3rd Wheel team (Baristayan, Buckoraider and Toy hunters ). As we just finished taking our photo at the Big Spud, when some caching pals turned up and we all found this cache. Baristayan was the first to spot it and signing duties were done then off we all went on our merry way. Tftc!!!

A quick and easy find whilst in the area today. TFTC
 
20-Aug-23
Came out to Robbo today to listen to some live music at the local Pub. As the kids had never seen a big potato before, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to show them one.

The kids ran around the potato numerous times before eventually slowing down and helping me search for the cache. I like to give the kids a bit of time before I swoop in and find it. They had a good look and decided to give up.

I commenced my search and saw something almost immediately. I retrieved and signed the log... the kids went back to running around like headless chickens.
