Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Making our way to Broken Hill for Mundi Mundi Bash. Moving today from Narromine to Condobolin. We stopped and unhitched in Tullamore to grab a few caches. Shame no Tullamore Dew available today, with the cold weather and chill factor Im sure we could have used it. Brrr . TFTC Team Casho
Travelling home from Dubbo, we passed through Tullamore and stopped for a break. This cache was not too far away, so we wandered through some nasty prickles to take a look. A local woman yelled out that if I was a geocacher, I was to go and see the CO at one of the local establishments. The cleverly hidden cache was found and we wandered back across the road, where I dealt with a foot full of thorns. A chap approached and it was established that he was the CO. We had a chat and he gave me some lovely pathtags, and also the location of another of his caches, which I then went and found. So nice to meet a fellow cacher.
Made our Way to GZ and LumpyR had a fellah look in obvious spot but found nothing. After watching him grovel round looking for the cache, LumpyJ decided to have another look and came up with the goods immediately. Tftc and the history.
Found thanks to GAZTBR who navigated under/over 2 trains parked between the silo stack and the cache zone. TFTC
Found by Mary and David at 11:35. We are really having a Team Casho day. M trained at The Alfred in Melbourne, invited back foir a staff year, then a year of nigshts in charge of a quarter of the beds. Next came Midwifery at Box Hill Hospital. This cache came with its own difficulty. A northbound train had stopped across the Haylock St crossing, so we had to park near GZ on Cardigan St. D then walked south and crossed the tracks behind the train and made his way to GZ. The hint made sense after a short look around, and a little investigation revealed the cache. Walked back to the GeoPrado just as the train moved off. A FP for all your research. Our thanks to Team Casho.
So happy to have a hint. It is helpful.
Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

Sneaky cache. Took a few minutes for Geo dog and Geo family to find

While I was working out what crazy thing I'd done with the solved UKODUS co-ords (mine were showing on private property) MrG went to find HTR. It looked like he'd been through a field of prickles when he came back which was better not to ask about. TFTC Team Casho.
A trip to Perth checking out some of the awesome places along the way in ACT, NSW, outback Qld and NT. Grabbing some old caches and missing LGAs. TFTC.
Wow a new collection of burs sand thistles to walk through. Interesting types. Quick find at GZ.

This is one of the caches we targeted and found thankyou for giving us the opportunity to explore. We are now heading home to Queensland after attending the Wangaratta event .
Found at 2:25 PM GAFF? in the company of DiMorgan.
We scoured the whole structure for about 10 minutes and even checked out the Tullamore sign, but nothing could be found. We then headed to the PO where the CO was waiting as previously arranged to give Di a replacement cache for "Too Easy" and when we explained what had happened with this cache, the CO gave us a replacement log sheet in a plastic bag which we placed in the original spot.
Thanks Team Casho.

Quite an easy find. Cache is in good condition. Signed and replaced. Thanks for placing the cache
Day 10 of our NSW road trip and making our way from Parkes to Gigandra via Tullamore, Tottenham, Trangie and Warren. Variety of small towns visited, driven through interesting country side and quite a few caches discovered. Many thanks to the CO's for placing these caches.
Out and about caching today from Parkes to Gilgandra via Trundle, Tottenham, Albert, Trangie and Warren. Due to the number of logs found, I have done a generic log. Thank you to all CO's for placing the cache in the locations where found. Found cache and signed log. TFTC
Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I based ourselves in Parkes and its surrounds. Following breakfast, our first stop was CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope, which was our highlight. We then proceeded north via Alectown to Peak Hill, where we walked around the old mining area. We then returned back to Parkes driving a loop via Tullamore, Trundle, and Bogan Gate, and we used the afternoon remainder walking around Parkes and completing the *Welcome to Parkes!* Adventure Lab.
We were here for 5-10 minutes searching around, and I was checking all of the harder locations and coming up trumps, until eventually spotting the cache in a spot that I should have seen initially. I guess this location doesn't get too many muggles visiting the old railway station, and so the cache is reasonably safe in its present location? The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Team Casho for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A great day exploring Parkes and surrounding towns on Davidwazza and I's drive up to Brisbane! TFTC!
Had lunch with the geohubbies old school friend. Great catch up. Great little town
Although NRC and my original SA plans may have been shutdown by the border closures, we decided to venture out anyway into our immediate backyard of NSW and pick up some counties and some much needed R&R.

Hot walk along the tracks today. Thankfully K8TYBEE saw it as we approached so we didn’t need to stay out here for too long. An interesting little old platform
Found with K8TYBEE on our last minute trip out to Grenfell, orange, Parkes, Condo and West Wyalong to help her clean up some missing counties. A great consolation prize after having to cancel our trip to South Australia. Thanks for the cache.

It's not often I find GZ before Geohusband. Quite a morale booster! Thanks for the clue. The cache is in good condition.
As we drove from Parkes to Tottenham today we stopped in Tullamore for a couple of hours to look for some of the caches in the area. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Team Cacho for the cache.

While spending a few days in Narromine we decided to head to Tullamore to try for some of the local caches.
We enjoyed a beautiful cool, cloudy day which was great for some of the forest walks we did.
Many thanks for the hide Team Casho

Spent the night camped at the Showgrounds in Tullamore so with fresh eyes I soon spied this cache Thanks again Team Casho
Found on our way across to central NSW for the week. Would have loved to have seen a grain train here, but not to be. Thanks for the cache Team Casho!
The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 1. I set out From Canberra and took a some what less than direct route towards Nyngen via Young and Forbes. I ended up in a town called Albert.
No trains today, so no one needed to use this facility. One day I may see a train out here.
Thanks.

Spent Easter weekend at the Tullamore Irish Music Festival & picked up a few caches while I was there.
Had a lovely coffee in the CO's coffee shop and got a few pointers for caches I haven't been able to find on my last visits. This was a nice easy find, but long pants would have helped with the prickles. TFTC

Found on a quick trip out from Trundle before heading back for breakfast on the balcony of the pub.

Out and about on a cold morning after staying at the showgrounds with all of the doggy people
Sheep dog trials are on here
A brisk walk around the walking track to warm me up and now to find some caches
Coords were good but I could not spot this one last night in the dark
Came back today and I had that moment how could I miss that
Thanks Team Casho TFTC

On the wsy to Condoblin & noticed a few caches in this town. Decided to grab one, but a muggle was watching from over the road. Ignoring him we continued & found it. After the watcher came over & we met colourful Casho the local cache hider.
Bit of Easter weekend caching. Have been meaning to investigate the Tullamore caches for some time. TFTC
Forgot the Geotool so could not sign the log.
Had to walk the long way round due to water logged ground.

Day One of our trip that will take us from ACT to Birdsville, across the Simpson to Alice before heading back via the Plenty Hwy and Hay River Track. Stopped here for a coffee and was able to duck across and grab this cache. First for the day as we are travelling with friendly muggles and Pa isn't a big fan. Easy findj then chatted to a local who explained who the local team was. Many thanks Team Casho foor placing and maintaining this cache. Would love to have stopped the night to get all your caches. But now have a good excuse to come back. TNLN SL TFTC
What a lovely little piece of local history remaining here,
Most towns would have knocked it down by now which
is very sad to see.
Got our 'ticket' to sign, and deposited the rest in the
right spot.
Thanks Team Casho

I didn't find this cache yesterday as from where I parked in the centre of towne, a long line of wheat wagons were blocking the way !!
They were still parked there today, so after a stroll out to the “End of the Line” to find a cache, I wandered back along the tracks to the station
The wagons did a sterling job of blocking the view of any muggles in towne
The 'station' must be one of the smallest I have seen !!
The door was locked so I couldn't see inside, but it looks like there is only enough room in the waiting room for a man and his dog.
Even then it would be a squeeze
The cache was an easy find, right where the clue said

Parked and made my way to this one, had to negotiate the wheat railcars on the side track at the silo loading platform, all part of the fun of Geocaching !
Made my way to where the hint suggested and the cache was found easily.
Signed logsheet 2:30pm and replaced all as found.

Oh my - I was not expecting this! The old bones are a bit creaky in the morning but they rose to the challenge and carried me to GZ. Nicely hidden cache - thanks.
It took a while to find the way in to this - we hoped there was a road leading to GZ but that was not to be. We waded through a lot of scrub because we thought the train we saw in Bogan Gate might be coming this way - walking on the tracks would have been easier. But we got there in the end and found the cleverly hidden cache. Thanks for the morning walk and the cache.
Couldn't find Mr Solling to buy a ticket from so just filled in the log and headed of to find another cache. TFTC and history...and coffee.
Heading south we deviated to Tullamore to check out the caches.
Throughly enjoyed our time here and exploring the area.
We apprciate the time and effort gone into placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Nice cache, easily found, been a great day. Even went to the ag show and had some fun there. TFTC.
A nice short walk on a beautiful day and a nice little hide. We were lucky enough to have lots if coverage from a train tftc
Hi Team Casho, was going to try and do the two railway ones but a train with lots of carriages was parked right at GZ. Didn't have the time to race up to either end and back again.
Thanks for all the other caches .Have enjoyed them all
The Bushies.

Took me a while to get to this one. GPS maps showed a road at the back that wasn't there, so I approached from the town side. Train carriages parked near GZ meant that I had to walk up to the crossing and then back down the other side to get here. Found quickly in a tight fit.
Not much left here. Found a platform on the other side and a concrete slab on the town side with tiles on it, so I assume this was part of a station building.
Cheers,
