We had a lovely drive out in the country on our way back to Canberra via Wagga Wagga and Woop Woop This was one of the geocaches that we found along the way. It had been raining a lot overnight, so there was water all over the ground. The advantage was that there was no one else around!I'm so glad that we stopped for this cache - it was a beautiful little wetland and the birds were making the most of the weather.Thanks for the cache, Lostmonster & Co! I think I'll have to give this one a fave point, for the location and the hide * * * * * * *I was geocaching in Albury/Wodonga for the weekend with DARKSIDEDAN and C10A.I added over 100 finds to my previous total over the weekend! All logs signed DQ10.Thank you to everyone who has placed and maintained geocaches for us to find. Love your work

Day 13 of my interstate trip. Today I left Burrumbuttock which was a great donation camp site and continued north and made it as far as Oura which is East of Wagga Wagga which is where I set up camp for the night. I managed to find 23 caches today and ended up with a bad day for DNF's with 7.Having a good morning checking out what the local town has to offer.TFTC Lostmonster & Co

With a long weekend planned for Rutherglen and beyond we crossed the border on our second day to enjoy the caches on offer while the sun shone.We zigzagged along the tracks to many tiny communities, completing all the multis we came across.While completing the nearby multi we were able to pick up this cache as an added bonus as we were only 20 metres away from one of the waypoints. Such a lovely area to explore.Thanks Lostmonster & Co for the placement.

Found on a trip around central New South Wales with e.gregory1. Our original plans were to travel through Bourke, Cunamulla and Toowoomba to attend the Dayboro event in Queensland and return via Port Macquarie and central NSW, but a series of events that included road closures due to flooding in southern inland Queensland, a covid outbreak in Brisbane and widespread storm damage and road closures along the north coast of NSW resulted in multiple changes of plans during the trip. As it eventuated our travels took us to central New South Wales, on a route from Broken Hill to Cobar, Nyngan, and Gunnedah from where we meandered southwards through some great scenery and historic towns that included Dunedoo, Wellington, Cowra and Yass. We then headed in a roughly westerly direction through to Temora, Wagga Wagga, Deniliquin and Swan Hill before making a final dash for home. All up we found a good mix of Traditionals, Puzzle Caches, Multicaches, Adventure Labs, Wherigos, Earthcaches, Letterbox Hybrids and Virtual Caches on a very entertaining and enjoyable trip. Thanks for the cache Lostmonster & Co!

Found on a trip around inland NSW with FeatherWaite.

Our original intention was to attend the Mega event at Dayboro in Queensland, travelling up via Broken Hill, Bourke, Cunamulla and Toowoomba, then home via the NSW coast to Port Macquarie then on to Adelaide via central NSW. However, the Covid outbreak in Brisbane forced us to reconsider, particularly given that the Mega and associated events were within the area of concern and we may have had difficulty re-entering NSW to get home and then would have had to quarantine back in SA for 14 days.

The floods in the north and east of NSW also hampered our travel plans. But we were able to develop a new plan that took us on a very pleasant tour around country NSW, picking up some interesting caches along the way.

Thanks Lostmonster & Co for the cache.

Hi there Lostmonster & Co.

We found your cache **"Wirraminna Environmental Centre"** at 11:56:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 18095).

We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then took a route that was mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. This resulted in a fairly large and circuitous route off the main highway from Culcairn to Walbundrie, Burrumbuttock and Walla Walla.

We especially enjoyed the Wirraminna caches. We ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route today.

We found 7 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

2834 11 of 20 today.

Day 3 of our trip down to Albury from Canberra with mtrax & Tankengine. Having achieved our goal of completing the Mighty Murray series by kayak, we didn't have any real plan for today, but after dinner last night with some other Canberra cachers we decided to head up towards Culcairn and grab a few along the way based on their recommendation.

Interesting spot. There's an ant's nest here though.

We came down from Canberra over the weekend, with our plan being to conquer the Mighty Murray series! – That was completed successfully yesterday, so, today we picked up a few more caches on the way home.

We had a nice quick find here, albeit, there is now a nest of ants in the hide! That made for a fun retrieval! Thanks LM&co.

We arrived late in the afternoon - mozzie time! Even though we'd put repellent on earlier they were keeping us on the move and man! were they large. So as much as we enjoyed wandering around the Centre we were thrilled to find the cache quickly. Signed the log while hopping about but don't think it foiled those mozzies for a second.

Mother and father dragon are travelling around NE Victoria and a little North of the River. Setting off today for a browse around the countryside through to Rutherglen. Accidentally came upon this beautiful place, when we saw that there were some caches here. We stopped and made it a lunch spot. Some of the volunteers who maintain the site were present today, and so an informative chat ensued, including a viewing of the endangered and also hard to see even in captivity, Corroboree Frog.
After two successful finds, we decided to seek another. The day was passing, so this was to be the last. Both GPSr and phone struggled with a good fix, but obvious hide sites yielded the treasure. Cache is in excellent condition. Signed the log, and replaced the cache. TNLN

What an awesome place, my sister found this location after a farm art expo was shown here she brought the kids here to look at all the wattle. Finding the cache did not happen today, perhaps I was a bit to green not wanting to up end the numerous hollow logs ?? But the thing that interrupted the search was seeing the 2 year old standing on a meat ant nest covered in ants. Only one bite but no smiley, we hope to be back one day

After finding all 3 of khanman47's recently published caches we completed the circuit of the environment centre & found ourselves almost on top of this hide! No idea where TheClazzas wandered off too - they really should upgrade to Telstra

Find Number 614, found at 11:25

We travelled to Wodonga to visit our daughter and grandson for Halloween and made a trip to Walbundrie while we were there. On the way we stopped to pick up a few caches.

This, to me, is what caching is all about. We have driven past this spot a few times and never knew it was here. A wonderful venture, full of interesting pathways which we would never have known about were it not for the cache. A definite favourite point from us.

The cache was in good condition, we took nothing, left nothing, signed the log and returned the cache as found.

Thanks Lostmonster & Co for the cache.

Well, who'd of thought you'd find a geocache in the 'Buttock!? Alas, could not find, I didn't want to tramp over the grasses to much, and wasn't real keen on sticking my hand up logs in this weather! Centre of photo is where my GPS/phone directed me... Hmmmm

Waking up to a sunny day, after yesterday's snow, decided us for a caching day.
BettyBoo3747 and I traveled across the border and did a bit of a cemetery crawl. All those caches that were a bit too far away before. Did a lot of driving and about a dozen caches.
A nice little area - very unexpected. Good to see even though it has been here for nearly 20 years it is still being well maintained.
We didn't do any long walks, just out to the lake and back a different way.
Thanks for bringing us here.
Thanks, Robmc.
