Sick little spot

Driving the long way from Sydney to Melbourne. It’s a glorious day for a drive up here, with the wildflowers blooming yellow everywhere ️

Funnn

Don't come out of that firetrail too fast TFTC.

#469 After camping up in Kangaroo Valley for the weekend it was time for Turtle284 and I to head home. Given the landslides on the mountains our regular ride home was met with a long detour. That gave us the opportunity to pick up a fair few caches we hadn’t been passed before, so we weren’t at a total loss.

This was our first stop on the way. With a caravan in tow we had to pick and choose where it was actually viable to stop off. Parking 200 metres down the road we made the walk over and crossed the road whilst we were at it. Upon arrival our geo senses kicked in simultaneously and we made the find. Thanks for placing this cache and maintains it over the years Moo&Woo!

#2415 More to come.

Nice and easy!
Found in the way back to the coast after visiting a friend in Canberra ??
Couple of Bull Ants weren’t too keen on me disrupting their home, but none were actually in the cache, so all good ??

A days caching from Canberra to Nowra and back. Cache easily found. TFTC.

Easy spot after the gps stopped being crazy. Tftc

Awesome drive find! Swapped a matchbox car for the green soldier. Log and cache in great condition.

I travelled to the Shoalhaven Coast for a week’s R&R before COVID bites again and took the opportunity to search out some geocaches while I was away. This one was a straightforward find, being in an obvious position within a metre of the coordinates. Thank you Moo&Woo for installing and maintaining this cache.

Found tyftc. this trip for july school holidays NSW south coast in and around Nowra, where my great uncle Dave lived at Culburra for many years. Find #2054

Accurate coords and a suspicion piece of camo, led to a quick find. A very nice hiding hole. TFTC

Nice little place to stop. The bush is recovering well along here. TFTC

Found 1/6/2020 with my darling Jeoffrow <3

Collected a handful of caches between Nowra and Goulburn. It was nice to spend time outdoors despite the light showers throughout the day. Thanks to all Cache Owners for the contributions to this recreational activity.

Great cache. Took us a while until I decided to poke each hidy hole with a stick and ohhhh whats that? lol TFTC

Good spot tanky

Afternoon drive after work. TFTC

On the 1st Aquilus1 and I were supposed to be first day of a three day adventure going deep into the Heart Of Darkness.... all the way through NSW to Bogan Shire to claim a multitude of counties... but (and there is usually a but) unfortunately I no longer had three days available, just two. So, last minute change of plans was for us go to the coast and go north, and see how we went. I even solved the only puzzle on the road before leaving.

So.... it ended up being a great loop, clearing out the road from Bungendore to Nerriga and going on to claim about a dozen shires. Clearing out an area is always slow going, but we were methodical... No Cache Left Behind as dubya would have said, despite the constant rain.... at least after Nerriga it was more a trip to claim counties than to clean out the map.

Late on the 1st we remembered that we should eat, probably before everything closes... luckily we found a Thai place in Berry that grumpily let us in while staring at the clock.... no mind! The food was great. Frantic internet searching looking for a motel then ensued while waiting for our dinner... all was well, we had fine lodgings awaiting us in Kiama.

On the 2nd the rain was looking like it was going to set in for the day as well, but we soon realised it was the fog that was going to be our nemesis.... it was unbelievable and downright scary... glad I wasn't driving! But, in the pea-souper, we somehow missed our turn to The Shire and ended up near Appin, no mind, we can continue in this direction.

Not sure I can even remember all the councils we passed through and grabbed a cache or two in, but here goes:
Queanbeyan-Palerang,
Goulburn-Mulwaree
Shoalhaven
Jervis Bay
Kiama
Shellharbour
Wollongong
Wollondilly
Campbelltown
Camden
Liverpool
Fairfield
Canterbury-Bankstown
Cumberland
Strathfield
Canada Bay
Burwood
Inner West
Sydney
Woollahra
Waverley
Randwick
Bayside
Georges River
Sutherland Shire
Wingecarribee

With GreyHams we had planned to head out for a three day trip into NSW for some counties, all the way to Bogan Shire! We had 14 counties on the route but a change of plans meant only the two days were available so plan B had us heading towards the coast and up towards Sydney.

All a bit of a last minute change but all good, GreyHams had a plan! Off we set, we had 5 counties on the list and would see how many more we had the time for. The new route had us driving up towards Bungendore to Tarago and then across towards Nerriga to Jervis Bay. A good trail of caches and we searched for them all, a few DNF's but mostly a successful trip through with a variety of caches found and some really great locations visited.

The rain set in about Nerriga, light and steady, and we both ended up more than a little damp at times, super fun when looking for a cache in the wet bushes! Mostly we cleared a nice path along the way with a few caches down some side tracks, a few puddles to play with along them and the only Mystery along the way... Well thanks to GreyHams for knitting that one out!

Stopped in Berry for a nice Thai dinner and then on to Kiama where we stopped for the night.

Woke to more rain but continued on North stopping at each county along the way for a cache and anything else interesting. Thankfully the rain did end up clearing... in its place there was the thickest of fog to navigate through, no worries about that on the Motorway with the traffic and almost no visibility!

Slightly turned about in the fog we did end up off track but worked out well in the end with a new course set and off to conquer the counties along the way into and around Sydney. A surprising 25 counties visited in the end, much more than expected but happy with the result and a good couple of days away to do it in. Thanks to all the CO's for your caches, apologies for the generic log, any additional cache information has been added to the end of this log.

Another straight forward find and a good place to safely pull in.

Quick park and find. TFTC.

First find with the new cache mobile! I should have used the reversing camera to spot it

Thank you to Moo&Woo for placing this cache as well. We picked it up on our way along this road and it was a nice easy find. The log was soon signed and all was put back in place before we went on our way.

Heading over to Sussex Inlet for a few days and decided to swing by this one on the way.

A quick park and grab for me here after pulling over the geounit

Thanks for the hide, Moo&Woo

Out on a quick drive with the family thanks for the cache

Coupling an event in Nowra with an excuse to grab some more smilies outside my home radius, target for today was Braidwood Road including all in the CO’s Nerriga series I was yet to tick off. Pulling of the road and hearing a scraping sound as my bumper met the gravel dip, feared a repeat of the last cache’s under-rated terrain but arrow was a lot closer for a quick grab and a careful return to the tarmac.

Yay! Quick find on way to Canberra.

Another quick find on our trek to Kiama.

Thanks.

Thank you for the cache. Log signed and cache replaced. OCW *Throsbyonchurch*.

Found it as team *Throsbyonchurch*. A quick find with mummy but didn't sign the log book as only got this account tonight. Mummy thought I should have my own account now I am getting bigger and helping with the finds, so I will have a nice record of the caches I have helped find and the places I have been as I grow up.

Thank you for a wonderful cache I thoroughly enjoyed your cache. Log signed and replaced cache.

Found -- 3:20:00 PM -- SL TNLN TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here to this location Moo&Woo.

**The Cache**
Was an easy find in the first place we looked.

**The Location**
A lovely location, to me quite pretty.

**The Day**
With school holidays concluding its time to release baby to mummy. I was considering heading down Albatross Rd and then onto Braidwood Rd and turn off at Turpentine Rd but then realised I've wanted to do the Braidwood Rd/Neriga series for the past two school holidays. No time like the present!! Didn't leave as early as I wanted but it all turned out well in the end. The day was absolutely amazing, bright blue sky, nice warm sun beaming down. The road trip was enjoyed immensely and the cache hunting fun. It was fantastic to go to the lookouts and see amazing views. The last time we came through here was some 10 years ago when the road was dirt and they were putting the new tarred road in - wow it sure is nice and cruisy now.

Peaceful spot.

Found it with Wazza9 & Nana Nel while camping at Stewart's Crossing and grabbing some caches with interesting views in the area.

This was my last cache for the weekend as we decided to finally make our way back to Sydney. A quick PAG and Nana Nel spotted the hide amongst the hint(s) quickly. TFTC.

And thanks to the rest of the crew for a great weekend of laughs and caching. And there are so many more to come back to find!

TFTC,

We have been in the area caching with The Hancock Clan (who were seeking to increase the number of Scenic caches they have found), Brewmaker, Tronador and Nana nel for the weekend. We made our base at Stewarts Crossing and enjoyed getting around from there. After completing Glovens Cave - GC65F1Y, it was time to head home.

Visited a group of trackables.

With Brewmaker and Nana nel, I grabbed this final cache in the area for the weekend.

After spending a great weekend at Stewarts Crossing with The Hancock Clan, Tronador, Brewmaker & Wazza9, doing some local geocachers, on way home still picking up a few more. A quick find on the way home. Thanks to Moo&Woo.

Nice find on a tour around the area from cache to cache. SL TFTC
