Well, it had a nice run and gained a few favorite points, but it is time to say goodbye.
I'm currently O/S and can't maintain this item so I'll open it up for another (hopefully) inventive cache in the location.
Missing the local cachers... I hope all is well!

Sigh.
Try as you might, some people are just unable to do something simple like roll up the log nicely and replace as found. (As noted by the recent finders, the log book has 'fallen out'.
Ha... that is, how shall I say... impossible, without a bit of help.
I'll be fixing up ASAP.

Couldn't sign because log has fallen apart. Additionally, the bold holding the hide to the cap has come off
We missed out on Un Canadien Errant in January 2011. It had bugged us then because we really liked the waypoint for it. A few more years of geocaching experience sure helped today. Driving back home to Sydney from Yeoval we had time for just one in Bathurst. We didn't realise we were coming here until we arrived at GZ.
Worked our way to GZ then worked a way to extract he container. Meanwhile the Bathurst Lumberjack Aussie Rules team was absolutly smashing their opponents by over 160 point to 9 - yes, nine! Really happy to put this one to bed. God craftsmanship and a clever hint. A favourite from us. SL TFTC Gaztek

Clever hide. My husband had it found before I even read the poem haha! Nice one. Tftc
No muggles around today, so it didn't take us long to find this cleverly concealed hide. TFTC griz4b
A very nice piece of work here - it took a while to put it back but it should be safe.
Day 78 of my trip to Brisbane.
Sixth day on the road, except I'm not on the road today - I've decided to have a day in Bathurst. Today, I wanted to drive around Mt Panorama, and pick upm the caches. This ended up not being possible - there arfe workers everywhere, getting the track ready for an event. Oh well, I'll drive around it, pick up a few if I can, and go see what else there is to see in and around Bathurst. I'm a bit late with the logging, I'm home now, and have five days of caching to log. Have I made 1000 caches on the trip? Today's twenty gets me to 974.
No 12 of 20 today. Thanks, griz4b. Yes, brilliant cache!! Have a favorite point.

Came back for a second time. Again baffled then indeed noticed one of them had something different.... Voila! Took fpsoutback card to move on.
They certainly do look all the same but ones different. What a magnificent cache set up, really brilliant, fav point. Thanks for the amazing work Griz4b
The last day of our Christmas/New Year camping trip saw us heading from the campground in Vittoria State Forest - located halfway between Bathurst and Orange, via Bathurst, Bells Line of Road and Sydney.
Parked on the road and walked straight up to the correct location. Had some problems to re-hide the cache.

In town for a few hours and found this one quickly with a family muggle in tow. They had read and looked up caching but never done before. Well after one kid picked up before this cache it's now time to go get the next from the next school.

What a great hide, we will be adding this to our favourites list. Mr N saw something loose, then Mrs N identified what it could be - a great device to hide the log. Will have to try to repeat this one back home.
Very cheeky hide.
Someone had left sticking out and ruined the tope of the log.
Cache was returned to how it should be

We also stopped here to find this cache on our 4 day trip from Sydney to the beautiful Billabong Safari Wilflife Camp at Dubbo Zoo.
Nice find near the sporting ground.
Thanks for showing this nice places and nice hidden spot

Whilst in town to attend university, I thought I would check out the surrounds. I coaxed another student to come along and see what geocaching is about. After a few unsuccessful attempts, we finally found a cache. YAY! Welcome to the game, White Phosphorus
What can I say but diobolical. I've seen this type before but this has a little twist that nearly deceived me. TFTC TNLN
What a nifty hide and container that is! Seen similar before but without the care and thought that this one has had put in to it. Thanks for a cool find.
Found during a long weekend bike mounted assault on the caches of Bathurst. The sound clue is a hoot (although the co-ords are spot on as well). This hide has plenty of favourites and it just got one more. Many thanks griz4b
Found with Nelboots. Audio clue gave it to me straight away. Well engineered cache. TNLN TFTC!
9055 caches found
nice hide, needed the clue
Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks griz4b for the hunt today

Took my grandson on this one in April and forgot all about it until he reminded me today. very clever worth a favourite TFTC
We wanted one cache in Bathurst to show we had been there and had a bit of a time restriction. The previous one was a DNF sor us, so finding this was a bonus.
Excellent effort with the camo.. gets a favourite point from us.
Thanks griz4b, good one.

What a great hide!!! Enjoyed a trip round the park to find it to hide out intentions from muggles, lucky only a few were around!!
Driving a motorhome from Sydney to Adelaide, and not much time to spare, we decided to find a cache in each town. This was the one for Bathurst. I have seen this type before, so quickly had it in hand, signed and replaced. Well done on a good cache. TFTC

On our trip west, I picked all the heavily favourited caches to check out. This one was particularly good - great fun
Cold and raining, no one around. Wasnt sure, at first thought it was muggled, but a wee bit of fiddling i had how to retrieve it, absolutely awesome hide!
Giving that a fav for the hide on its own!

Very tricky, with a Footy game just about to start!! Quit quickly located the cache and simulated to be an intered spectater. The cache wasn't easy to retrieve with all these people around.

Seeing all the fav pts we had to give this one ago. We arrived at GZ and saw the task at hand and started to think what would make this a little bit special. Fortunately we where observant enough and where soon able to extra the cache and log. Nice bit of work for this cache. The rain helped today as no muggles around so we signed the log and re hid. A fav pt from us. TFTC

Luckily I had seen one of these before so it made it easier to find. My geofriend was very impressed.
We did quite a few caches in Bathurst a while ago. Now, when I look at the map, it looks like we've never been there. With so many micros in Bathurst, I guess there is a high turnover. We were actually heading out of Bathurst to find caches on the country roads, but I saw the cache name, and remembered that it was almost word for word on a hint for a cache which featured our first find of a certain kind of hide. I figured that this might be the same thing, and so it turned out. The construction on this one is a bit more elaborate than others of its type though. Thanks
#1874- Despite the eyes of a nearby council worker mowing the oval, bikerbuddy managed to get this one pretty quickly. Not many other [laces this could have been. Thanks.
An easy find not far from where we're staying. No one about this afternoon which certainly helps the search. TFTC
A nice hide. However the construction is a bit torn and it was a bit difficult to place it back.
My very first find!! The tag is a bit torn, but plenty of room on the log. great spot. I stopped to admire some footy practice.
Oh, I wrote the wrong date on the log. Silly.

#15: Just got back to Bathurst after discovering geocaching while away, was ready to go home, so just looked for the highest favorited cache. Nice hide, looks like it took a bit of planning. TFTC
