Hi cache gone missing and I'll not be able to get there for quite a while. When I do I'll just start a new one anyway. Cheers
Hi robatfarrer,

I can't believe I didn't know this spot existed, or have found this cache, given how I visit Goulburn on an almost weekly basis the past year or two! But we were heading this way to grab some brand new caches that were published yesterday, so finally got a chance to see what it was all about!
Great little spot, the cache was found quickly as the object hiding it seemed quite out of place in the bush..... hmmmm!
Thanks robatfarrer! Such an old cache considering there aren't many of this age out this way, great to tick it off

Found and signed dsd or Darksidedan or AB or Adventure Boys to save space in the logbook thanks for the cache and the adventure. I have included some random photos with my log.
Fridays is when I have the most time and Tankengine and I needed a few caches today for our calendar challenge, so Goulburn was where we planned to come.
It was a cloudy, chilly day, but we had heaps of fun and got more than we expected, including an FTF, every cache type we needed and even explored an old building with wonderment.
This cache: What an interesting little spot. And awesome for Goulburn to have such great history. Thankful for the temporary cache. Tftc!!!

Cache replaced today. Just with a temporary container. Will update and camo a new one for next time I go that way.
We called in here to look for the cache but were unable to do so. CanAssist had a bbq here to support some gentlemen that were doing the Grand Prix Circuit. The gentleman that constructed this monument was also here. Unfortunately no cache for us today but a very interesting visit anyway. Thank you.
We had a good search around but no luck at all here today.
We can recall looking for this on a previous occassion, no body around today so we had the place to ourselves & still we could not locate it.
Thanks

Eventually uncovered the cache but the log is insignable. It needs some TLC

This one gave me a few problems as there was a Muggle sitting in his car with the engine running who showed no signs of moving. I looked casually around, taking photos of poles and posters I wasn't a bit interested in and located the cache. The log has totally disintegrated with moisture and, because of Muggle, I wasn't able to rectify the situation with a new slip of paper and plastic bag. Sorry - this one needs urgent attention. Nice area and thanks for bringing me here.
Quick find after a lot of time trying to get to it GZ, not knowing the area we got mucked around by the closed bridge, took 3 goes to get over to this side. This town is just full of history. Tftc
Interesting that it all started here! I stopped by and made a quick find with nobody around.
Running short on fuel genghicat still took a slight detour to catch this cache. We quickly located the cache which was full of water. The log was still sealed safely though, so after a quick sign I had to drag Genghicat away from the garden. His eyes had glazed over with the thought of plants. Tut tut genghi. None of that. So still law abiding we jumped in the car to seek our lunch. Where is a good hamburger joint I wonder? Tftc
Decide to do goulburn trip caches before head home to canberra. log in and nice hide. TFTC robatfarrer
Another good find while going from cache to cache today.
*Enjoyed the drive around.*

Interesting location. Thanks for showing it to me.

Found while taking a break from the drive. Once again, geocaching has taken me to interesting spots that otherwise I would have never known about. I parked in the shade and made a quick find, shaking the guardian slug off the bag. The outside of the bag was wet but all was dry inside. Log signed and all replaced, except the slug which was left to its own devices. It was interesting to read about the race. TFTC.
2901 8 of 10 today.
Out with CBRChic for a trip back to Goulburn to have a tilt at the ever growing number of caches there. It was a lovely cool autumn day and the first after the end of DST for the year. We basically did a bunch of park & grabs, but a there were also a few tree climbs and walks. All in all, a fun day.
After seeing all the fav points for this one we felt it was worth a trip out to visit. We were quite surprised read about this spot. CBRChic being a former motorbike chick was thrilled. No real problems finding the cache.

Out caching with StrangeTrousers in Goulburn.
Beautiful day to visit Goulburn again and try and pick up a few more caches.
Being a former motorcyclist I loved this one. Who would have thought this was here and the history about here. Just love where caching takes me and the things you learn.

Since this had been successfully found since my DNF a few weeks ago, I thought I'd give it another go this evening as I passed through Goulburn. This time I found it fairly quickly while searching methodically. TFTC.

Unsure about this one after a couple DNFs but a look further down the logs helped me find it,
I never knew about the first Grand Prix being here, how cool would that of been to see !!

A full days caching from Canberra to Goulburn and back, including today's event in Goulburn. I only dd a half hearted search here given the previous log.
From reading previous logs I got the impression that cache is under one of the grassy bushy things nearby. As the whole garden area has just been freshly regravelled the crushed brick stuff am.wonderinf if cache may have been inadvertently buried.
Found it fairly quickly this time. Don't know how we missed it last time. "Didn't you check there, last time?" "No. Didn't you check there?" The start of yet another geoargument. TFTC
Found on a run to Goulburn for the day with The Rats and Hoojar.
Goulburn has seen an explosion of caches in recent times and we spent our time enjoying our trip around town finding caches. TFTC!

I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” Throsbyonchurch and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.
Found it . -- 12:49 PM -- SL TNLN TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here. Cache in good condition but all wet. I Dried off the log on the dashboard by the cars heater and placed it in a bag. Put the cache container in a bag to keep it drier too. Last time we were here we searched around GZ, were so close, yet have no idea why we were unable to find it back then.

No luck here today.

Thanks for the find... Not caching but noticed this muggled and in the open
Organised a long weekend group geocaching day. Used parental's house as home base, then had a lovely day hunting caches with regular geocompanion Halcyon123, newbie Tahjze_1986, our mentor in all things geocaching, Happy Uke, and her geohubby, Finalf29.
After Halcyon123 and Tahjze_1986 heading back home, continued hunting with Happy Uke, Finalf29, as well as welcome tagalongs in my mum and nephew.
Another place I didn't even know existed TFTC!

We had a wonderful day geocaching around Goulburn with a group of friends I have got into geocaching (Finalf29, Nacki22, Halcyon123, Tahjze 1986). There was good food, great conversation, fantastic company and excellent caches! What a BIG day, I got twenty five from twenty six.
Halcyon123 and Tahjze 1986 had to head back, so Nacki22's mum and nephew joined in for the fun.
This was my thirteenth for the day. Nice drive out to a lovely little memorial and well maintained. Geokid had keen eyes and swooped onto this one. Thanks

Spent 20 minutes as my gps wasn't playing nice today. Between passing muggles and the rain started to get frustrated until I read some previous comments. It would have been the last place I looked otherwise. Thanks for the find
Very interesting. Another lesson I would never have received if it wasn't for geocaching. The actual find took me a lot longer than it should have but eventually had cache in hand. This road is busy - about 20-30 cars went past whilst I was looking (and although it took me longer than it should have, it wasn't that bad...) as well as a small plane doing laps up above!
We were wondering about this one considering previous dnfs but it was right where the co ords put us.
No problems this day, however log was really non existent, bits of previously wet, screwed up paper.
We had no log book to fit this container but did tear out a few pages of a small notebook to leave as a temp log until CO can fix this.

After reading a few DNF's in the logs I wondered how lucky we'd be, but the coords put us right on the spot and a seven second search under the very first grassy bushy thing toward the fence had the cache in hand.

Sooo I was just about to give up hope after searching for a loooong time and then Bam! The wonderful Jesse of (jesse&teegan) found it!! Yay!! Team geocaching awesomeness
Touring with KAT - Good spot to stop and a quick grab - Log will need replacing soon - Log signed TN Left Swap -TFTC
Touring with BAB - Good spot to stop and a quick grab - It is great being reminded of these places and their long history - Log will need replacing soon - Log signed TN Left Swap -TFTC
#4 of 13 in Goulburn today. I love caches like this that bring you to a place not even the locals know about. Found the cache easily but the log is less log and more pie wrapper now so a new log is probably in order. Lovely quite morning except for the flies. Thanks robatfarrer.
Logging late... I mean really late. But this is what happens when you spend 15 months rehabbing after an accident. I still remember this cache though - I spent an amazing day out at Bungonia doing the red track somewhat unintentionally. It was awesome! The trip was planned as a reccy for the other caches in the area as I've always been keen to try canyoning but have never got around to it. Anyway, on the way home stopped to take in a quick cache find. Then only a few days later my caching activities were brought to a rather abrupt halt for a long time. Today I felt that I was up to going out for a walk for fun (!!!) and took the GPS. Figured I would clean up the cache notes and discovered I never logged this find.
Tftc. We found the cache just laying out in the open. Put it where gps was saying it should be.
