6712 + 835 = 7547. Found during a great weekend caching in the Bathurst region with Sol de Lune.

In Orange now. This was an interesting area. Once we got the right way in the caching Gods smiled, the muggle disappeared and we made a quick find. Signed and then we were off to the next one.

Thanks again SushiKitten !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Wrong side of the fence at our first attempt, but a quick u-turn soon had us in the right spot. An interestiong little area that is being put to good use no doubt. There was a muggle here at first, but he headed off with dog and we soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks for showing us the area and for the cache SushiKitten. Love the name......ELF....very cool
 
21-May-13
The ELF was deserted early this morning before work and so after finding how to get in It was relatively easy to find this cache with no one around. I imagine it may be harder at some times of the day. Thanks to the Sushikitten for this cache.
 
11-May-13
Met a lovely stranger who works here and realised exactly what we were doing. She offered a hint when we were struggling, but alas we didn't manage to locate it. It was very nice to meet a stranger who knew geocaching, however, so still good fun :3
 
27-Apr-13
After finally working out how on earth do I get past this fence. I just couldnt find it. I looked everywhere then just put my hand on it without seeing it and there it was TFTC
 
31-Mar-13
Gotcha !!! Found on the ground. Replaced where I'm sure it's meant to be. TFTC

13-Feb-13
Now that wasn't there last time! Nice to find this one.

Found my 100th geocache this 2013 Australia Day long weekend, but I'd never logged any of my finds. So I decided now is an opportune time to do so!

This was cache #61, found on our most successful caching day around Orange yet. An interesting spot. TFTC!

Was expecting a smaller container. Quick find. TFTC
 
14-Jul-12
stopped by here to visit the markets and while the rest where shopping I took the geodog for a walk over here, interesting, we have a place like this in Canberra. nice.
I spotted the container sorta exposed, so an easy find, but returned it a bit more under cover so should be a bit safer now.
Great location thanks for the cache.
 
07-Apr-12
An easy find with no one around.
Thanks.
 
22-Mar-12

On a rare dog- and child-free trip, Black Bunny wanted to get as many caches as he could, while the getting was good.

Lovely idea, but it was sad to see the garden dry and neglected. I was really tempted to harvest some of the rhubarb and other fruits and veges going to waste, but resisted, hoping that someone would be along soon who is SUPPOSED to be doing that. I did sneakily pull a couple of weeds, though, on the way out. Couldn't resist.

Thanks for the cache, SushiKitten!
 
26-Jan-12
A quick grab with Just a cacher on a run to Bathurst for Australia day.

After a short walk to GZ, we had to stop and admire the garden setting. After that it was a quick hop to GZ and grab of the cache in the rain.

Thanks for the cache SushiKitten

Looked high and low
 
14-Jan-12
not sure if it is still there or not but we could not find....
 
27-Dec-11
Staying in the caravan park we walked up in the evening to have another look at the ELF centre. Been here a couple of years ago when there were no caches out this way. Had a good look at the unkempt vegie patch first and made the find. First to sign new log. Different container to the description now.

Thanks!
 
07-Dec-11
Looked in every likely spot, but to no avail.
 
07-Nov-11
Last cache found during a drive around town after work. I really should have brought the pushy away this week as the riding conditons would have been superb. The showground and ELF is a great spot, and with no one around, the cache was soon found. I rewarded myself by chewing on some fresh mint before adjourning to the pub for dinner. Thanks again SushiKitten.
 
30-Oct-11
Cache was muggled but is back in the game today.
 
09-Oct-11
Nice easy find as we had the place to ourselves. Wandered about the garden until it got too cold and windy.
Great idea this. Should be more of these around.
TFTC

3/4 for today!

Orange 11. I had to sit in the car and wait from the rain to diminish a bit before getting this one. The walk way was very slippery and the lower level was more of a lake. Apart from me getting wet, this was a fun place to visit. Thanks.

Had a bit of trouble finding this one when we spied the log sheet just laying in the leaves under the board walk.
Log has been wet but it was dry now and a little damaged from being exposed but ok otherwise. A new container was found and placed cache in a secure location. We will contact the CO so that all can be checked out.

Thanks for the cache.
