Cairncross #4, 18/19 Trail Pembrooke, New South Wales, Australia
By Browngang on 26-Nov-11. Waypoint GC38CBY

TftcAfter the recent weather, I suppose it wasn't the best day to do some caches along this trail. Another track I opted to walk as this one was a bit overgrown. Gps was a bit jumpy at this one, so took me longer to find but got it in the end. Log was wet but signable.

Found it

Found with cullum68 on a day of caching thanks for the cache

Found with nissan65 on a caching trip around local area. Log wet needs replacing.able to sign. Just.Thanks for your contribution to geo caching

Thanks. Nice easy find.

Was very wet but managed to sign. Thanks for the find. Nice and easy to get too. Didn’t have to get the sleeping baby out of the car.

If you went past the sign you have went to far

And the notebook was too wet

TFTC! CarvDogg25 & ebullen07 found with little brother, Lachie. Haven't Geocached for a while and was stoked to find this one locally.

Two tracks in between. On a day out with the Geo Twins.

Found it. I haven't got a 4 wheel drive vehicle so have left the car at Pembrooke hall and am riding my bike.

my gps was trying to send me through some rough terrain until i realised a track not marked on my maps led me to the cache in the car. TFTC.

Thanks for placing the trail numbers on the cache name, made it so much easier to find. A great hide, loving this series

Found in the company of coinman Dyl. Thanks for placing this series

TFTC, I will be posting a generic log for the 10 caches in this series, A more detailed log will be posted at the final mystery cache. A nice sunny day, thought it a good time to knock over this series.

After logging in , used one of the forks to return to the track....thanks Browngang !!!

found with Lonely RA , 96652, and Wauchope Scouts Thanks for the Cache

found with Wauchope Scouts, Lonely Ra and 96652 thanks for the cache.

TFTC I loved watching Hayley wave her hands around at the bugs. Too funny. We decided to stop near the road and walk because we took the Princess Suzuki and not Betty we are thinking this was a bad idea.

Well both team nurse and I were excited to take a crack at these caches and thought oh yeah she'll be right we can take my car..... No not a good idea lol my car could only go so far so couldn't complete the series.... Next time we will take team nurse car "Betty" as she is the caching car, TFTC Browngang:)

Quick find

Quick find after finding the right trail.

TFTC Cheers from CATONY.

Apparently we are second here today. Great to test out the 4wd

Got to test out my new baby (rav4) on this one-well, geohubby did all the driving I just navigated. Couldnt find the sign for the trail but followed GPS location and we were almost on top of it.
A fast find by me, log was signed, stickers dropped and cache returned within a matter of minutes.

It's been 2 years since we started this series and at the time had neither the time nor the vehicle to finish it. Today we have both and depending on how the road is after rain we intend to go as far as we can. This was quickly found by an eagerly obliging iphone (sometimes its not), code recorded and we were back on the trail. TFTC Browngang.

really good hide. but got really rough after this. We suggest you go back to the road you came on. DO NOT KEEP GOING FORWARD FROM GZ. There is a tree across the road & the original road seems to be much shorter too. The pencil needs sharpening, glad we had a pen with us. We are going to bring a pencil sharpener with us from now on. well done Browngang.

We couldn't spot the marker for the 18/19 trail, we did drive down the trail until we arrived at a couple of speed humps that we didn't want to get stuck on as they had a steep drop off on the far side. Mrs Shifter located this one after about 30 seconds while Mr Shifter turned the car around to head back out.
Thanks for the adventure in the area Browngang.

Cache in good condition. Loosing daylight so getting on with the next one!

Found it

Called in on a maintenance run. No probs.
Upped the terrain by .5 Some might have to walk 100m or more due to the poor condition of the track.

Okay, the rats haven't been to this one, but it seems the Forestry crew have been wanting to make it Terrain 2 access, and making a few berms on the way that are good for bike jumps.
Picked up a few more golf balls at home just in case something matched, and sure enough I had one that matched 'x', so left one.
Discover Me Tag thru.
TFTC and the series Browngang

# 4517. Robmc and I managed 5 of these today as we made our way from South West Rocks to Lorne. Another little series with clues collected that will need to be finished some other time. We were stopped in the geomobile by a large speed hump across the track so we walked to GZ from the hump. Soon found the cache, noted the clue, added our name and now on to # 5. TFTC

A day's travelling with few caches down the coast with Bettyboo.
Recent signs that the loggers have been through this area. They are buggers for suddenly making new roads and removing perfectly good hides!
Some of the mounds on the road were getting a bit high so we walked the last bit.
Thanks, Robmc.

With a Saturday with nothing to do we thought we would check off a couple of these, we'll the ones you can get to without a 4x4 anyway, still we found some hairy tracks though. The forest has never been the same out here since the logged it. Once I get hold of a 4x4 and some time I will get around to the rest. Thanks to Cadet Kelly on the GPS.

I am beginning to warm to this cache trail after the madness of the first two finds
Cairncross forest is so quiet and beautiful.
I can see the top of Mount Cairncross occasionally as I drive between the waypoints.
But I am glad I am in the geomobile and not on the mountain bike for this series.
The temperature is starting to get [red]HOT[/red]

Here at number 4 I enjoyed a short stroll up a side track to find the cache

Another one done. Wpm in our way now. TFTC

Great spot, lovely and peaceful, just enjoyed listening to the birds for a while....TFTF.

Another one in the series found. TFTC

Replaced the clue in the cache, tweaked the co-ordinates and added some swaps.
All good again

Thanks for the heads up guys. Or was that tails?

We were there today showing Team Crackers and The Drovers around and this cache could not be found. Looks like the bulldozers have been through this area and ripped out the stump!

So we decided to replace the cache in a very safe spot!

Hint: Beside double trunked tree.

Another enjoyable day out caching with Pprass and Team Crackers.
This was an interesting series with great history.
Original cache distroyed by machinery, Pprass contacted owner, and replaced cache in new location.
TFTC, Browngang.

Travelling along with The Drovers and pprass as our tour guide we pulled up here and were a bit surprised to find the GPSr was pointing to a vacant area, we could see that a lot of tree felling works had been going on in the area and after reading the hint it was quite obvious that the bulldozer driver had gone straight through gz when he pushed up a pile of rubbish. We found half a stump but no sign of the cache anywhere and The Drovers even got out a shovel and did a bit of digging to see if we could locate it amongst the rubble. Pprass rang browngang who confirmed that we were in the right place and between us we mustered up a cache and a log book and rehid it as best we could and pprass sent the owner the new co-ords. We knew the year of the penny so we have written it in the log book and on the lid of the container for future finders.
Our thanks again browngang for the cache.

Easy find well off the beaten track. TFTC

Testing out the ix35's off road abilities on this one! Great quick find, TFTC Browngang

Bit of a "Bush Bash", but got there in the end

MMM what to do to celebrate the last day of winter, Its almost warm enough to sit by the pool and have a few beers, but not quite yet. I will have to go Geocaching instead.
Put my geobag down right next to it, but the Iphone had me going 20mtrs elsewhere. should have checked the obvious first

Sorry left my bag of swops at home.

No. 4 busted

Nice walk through the bush, found the track on way out.
TFTC

Back on track and in order. How many will we find before dark? Found on a caching day with Jamie2750 while visiting from Sydney. TFTC

Kids loved the chance for a quick bushwalk.

took sticktape and cat

On to the next one.
(Oh, coins/TB/shirt thru for mileage tonight)

#4 down & things are looking good at this stage.

This was a nice little trail to put a cache. After a short drive I arrived at gz, I had no trouble reaching the cache using my "go go gadget" arms. Thanks for the cache Browngang

Found at 12.30pm GAFF5 in the company of LHBfans. Nice to drive along these narrow tracks - someone has to keep them open don't they! Just a bit tricky to turn around.
Thanks Browngang.

12:30 Found in company of pprass. Did not have us searching too long but a nicely placed cache. Glad we pushed in from the road in the pprass-mobile rather than walk in. TFTC Browngang

Found today while out for a drive with Wombat-2 and Geowife.

Found today after wild goose chase from GPS sent us past Cairncross #5 to get here. Nice cool spot for a spot of morning tea though before we headed back out. En-route saw the only car we were too see the whole day in the forest! Found with SquiresSquire TFTC

Found it, Had found GZ before hopping out of the car!!
