We had to detour to Nowra to do our washing so I popped out to grab a cache while the laundry was washing. Of course someone came and sat on the steps behind me to make a phone call. I had to be discreet to grab the cache and sign the log.

Down touring the coast with Tankengine, Youban, Joolay and Aquilus1. We wanted to get away for a bit of fun and didnt expect it to be so much in the sun we planned this trip. But 30 degrees at the beginning of September although nice, is a bit of a climate shock to the body. So hot!Well this was too funny. I cant believe how long ago half our team had found this one. Tftc!!!
 
16-Sep-23
Away for the weekend with Joolay, dty73, Tankengine and youban. We had an oldie and an LGA as our target and many others of interest as we passed. It was a beautiful area to visit and the weather was lovely. Many thanks for your cache that added to our enjoyment.

An after dinner find, a quick find here. Log full so added a bit of paper.

Day 4. A last minute plan had been hatched to make my way to QOGM. Very little planning had been done but a very rough outline was in place and it was going to be a day by day trip.

Batemans Bay to Wollongong with lots of stops in between.

Winding my way north and made this quick stop.

Thanks WEEO for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Trying to complete the December challenge cache but due to being in remote areas for a week with limited caches available I have fallen behind in me quest. The completed challenge so far
- Attended 1/1 CITO events
- collected 7/7 different cache types
To complete
- 62/71 caches logged
This being number 62

Decided to take Zombie850 on a caching afternoon to explore the local area more. Arrived at this location and it was only a few minutes before Zombie850 had the cache in hand. We signed the log and replaced it as found for the next cacher to find.

Geowife got an early Christmas present if a massage at a nearby beauty clinic and so I got an early treat if about 90 minutes to go caching in Nowra. Met some interesting locals and found most of the caches I looked for (and started yet another adventure lab).

Was hoping for a nearby puzzle so found a convenient park and was right next to this (and the AdLab point) - cache was a quick find (though very exposed here) and so signed a bit further away (I had more trouble with the other here as I had the wrong photo!). Pen played up so is more scratched than written.
Turned out to be my last cache In Nowra

On an adventure down the south coast with my Chauffer decided to visit this nice little area.

More history of the area. This would have been a busy place in its day, people coming and going for all number of reasons. Today it still would be, for the museum and for GeoCachers.

The cache was an easy find, right were it was expected to be. Upon finding it, put on my monogram, replaced it where it was. Now on with our adventure...

Thanks WEEO for bringing us to this historic area and this cache...
