Nath's Football Cache Thurgoona, New South Wales, Australia
By Jeff Tickell on 01-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3FX2H

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Well, time does fly.

I was reluctant to replace this in the same location as kids seem to play at/in the location and concealing was not as easy as I thought. I will however, look for a new GZ this week and change the cache type.

I will do my best to not make it a micro or a nano!

Cache ready for replacement. Any day now.......

Sorry, grabbed for repair. Will replace shortly. Sorry to the last cacher who searched in vain..... forgot to log this on the day.

No luck here tonight maybe kids were here hanging around in the day with footy??

The fog cleared @ lunch time and headed out for a quick caching run. The cache was out in the open. Looks like kids play around the tree. TFTC

GPS was a bit off, but after looking in the logical spot, was an easy find. Thanks.

Quick night cache with a friend who's getting into geocaching! He put his hand on it straight away.
Someone didn't seal the bags properly so everything is a bit damp, have fixed the bags

Nice quick find

Found it!

Quick Find, not much happening here today no one around. Bit of slipping and sliding in mud but made it out ok.

Thanks Nath for a neat cache, all is nice and dry and in good order.
The track to GZ was a bit wet, but just about everywhere is right now.
TNLNSL...............Cheers.

Very wet and muddy, avoid walking across the oval!!

number 2 of 5 that day.

number one of ten for the day tftc

Find #499 on our way to 500 to finish off our short holiday. TFTC.

2055 found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1245.The area is very wet after the rain of the last couple of days.The park was quiet with only one young lad kicking his football at the goal post and a family walking the roadway.SL left TB Tnx Jeff Tickell

A nice quick find before any footy matches were commencing.
The grass surface here is very good and top class for all the football matches.

Many thanks to Jeff Tickell for the sporting themed cache.

Found today with Irontoad. It was starting to get dark and there was a chill in the air as we found this cache but no muggles. Great cache though there wasn't much camouflage on the cache so we replaced it with a bit more camouflage on it. Took a Travel Bug to move it on.

Thanks for the cache Jeff Tickell

This cache was not on the to-do list tonight, but when further researched revealed that it is a quick drive by and not a walk as the maps indicated, I made the diversion and a quick find.

Cheers

Out and about at large cahching with Slink! TFTC SL (catching up on logs)

Found on a quick trip up North with Dunko TFTC SL

Quick find on a cold quiet day. Thanks for bringing us here. We were watched by two council workers in their truck in the carpark. Asked us if we "got the number?" "yes!" we replied as we quickly drove off! TFTC.

A nice hide. Wish my gps was working better tiday. It had me standing at the freeway.

Found by Mrs. Lost Wanderer and the juniors. We had driven past during the Mega Event and seen other teams looking for this cache but only managed to get to it ourselves today. Took nothing, left Ford TB. Thanks for the cache.

Snuck in with Shazbucket whilst a football match was in progress... Careful careful, we're just watching the footy... Thanks for the cache! Left a torch.

A beautiful location
Peace Love & Happiness

Found with superhux. TFTC

Found I did a little bit of landscape work because with all the activity in town flattened all the grass leading up to it!!! TFTC

We were cleaning up a few of these "newer" caches in the area on a beautiful autumns day. Thanks Nathan for bringing us here today..must have been an away game. Mrs V found the cache and duly signed the log. TFTC. Cheers.

A quick easy find with no other people about to make for a quick grab.

#2611 ANZAC Day and we decided to grab some local caches - started at 3.30pm which only left a couple of daylight hours so it was those in the immediate vicinity (bring back daylight savings ) that were on our hitlist. Being a public holiday and midweek we knew we'd be OK at GZ & OK we were. Our GPSr's were having a bad day & pointed one way but Dad went to a likely place & located the stash. We can remember being asked to retrieve a GCA gnome from here many moons ago. Thanks to Jeff Tickell for a large container .

Dropping off Travel Slug Geocoin

Was hoping I was going to alone here not knowing if the football was going to be on or not, but turns out only a father and daughter out on the field throwing a ball for the pooch were the only muggles I had to contend with.

Found in an all too familiar spot, I remember picking a gnome up from here where the caching game started.

TNLN, TFTC, Cheers.

Yay another one was easy but after heavy rain was a bit damp tho..

nisc place to let the kids use up some energy

Out driving yesterday catching up on caching and had a plan. This one was number 3 last to do before going to dinner, yet again, at the Kinross. Drove up to and past as there was foot ball practice.. Came back early today and had a quick find. Nearly a DIDO cache especially with the Geo trail.

2nd find for the day. Youngest boy found made his day.

easy find. (maybe we are starting to gain some experience) tftc took car, left yoyo. No sign of traceable - guess it has moved on during OzMega event.

This cache was one of the many grabbed on my 4 day trip to the OzMega Event. We arrived on Friday at midday and left at Midday on Monday and cached between when we where not socializing with other teams. This trip was also a shakedown for a new tent trailer we had purchased for camping. Besides the bike rack breaking on my trailer on the way up it all went well. PT539 also got a similar trailer to mine. He had trouble with his water tank.

nice easy cache and a quick find.

found it on oz mega

Picked this one up after a feed at the Kinross. No problems.

Enjoying some caching with friends before heeding home after Mega. SL..TFTC

Quick find, enjoyed our stay at the Magazine this week end. TFTC

Funnily enough there were a few cachers here as we did this post-flashmob Cheers Gav [10951]

4577 + 527 = 5104. Found during OZ MEGA Albury Wodonga 2012 !

One of many places I ran into fellow cachers attending the Mega. At least they had replaced the cache before I drove up! Found the neat hidey hole. Thanks again Jeff Tickell !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

A quick morning walk before breakfast while staying in nearby accommodation for the Mega event. Thanks for the cache Jeff Tickell.

This was one of about 30ish finds for the day.. One of about 100 finds for the long weekend which also ticked off an epic night cache, 2 DT/P81 combos as well as a whole lot of favourites.. caught up with a bunch of mates as well as making new ones.. Thanks Team Oz Mega for all your efforts creating a great weekend.. I found this one with the hordes after the FlashMob.. I nearly left the engine running for this find, however I parked at the wrong side of the oval and walked in to find an editor/photographer for a caching magazine.. Thanks for the cache and find # 2347

Oz Mega Albury 2012. The second cache close by to the flashmob, and it was a bit of a mob here too. Thanks.

This cache was the ninth find on our last day at the MEGA.

Well this cache was another good find. After checking some spots that would have been clever, I surprisingly found quite a large container. I signed the log and when walking back to the car, I was very pleased to meet the famous Facitman! We have seen each others names many times on logs for both Gc caches and also the LeapFrog race, but this was the first time we have actually met face to face. Thanks again Jeff Tickell, and very nice to finally meet you Facitman!

Quick find in the company of Ozibags and lochb as we were heading back to town after the Oz Mega Flash Mob Event. We arrived just as other cachers had the cache in hand and we were handed the log book for signing. Thanks for the cache Jeff Tickell

Found while at Oz Mega. Picked up 2 tb's that are ready for a race

Another quick find with quite a number of fellow cachers.

Thanks for the cache.

also a nice big cache. Nice hide! TFTC

Two teams were already there, but I did put the cache away for them, whilst everyone was chatting. As we finished the next team was already arriving. Cache #1,164.

Found right after the nearby flashmob. I had to join the queue to sign it!

Found by Facitman and the Facit-Family at 10:50
Second find for the day as we made our way towards the OZ Albury Flashmob, and as with many caches around Albury this weekend this was a pretty easy find as a constant stream of cachers were arriving and leaving GZ. It was great to meet lemmykc as he left the cache and other cachers (sorry forgotten names!) as we were logging our visit.
TNLN but left TB sabrina the slug
Thanks Jeff Tickell

Found on the Mega Sunday. Well, one of the very few caches that I did over the Mega weekend, and at the time, no one else was there. TFTC.

Found while attending OZ Mega. TFTC!

Another team had done the hard yards for us as we turned up. Signed log and replaced the cache. TFTC Jeff Tickell

Found while attending the Mega Event

Found at 10-45 with diddysmum during our OZ Mega visit.

DM and I weren't quite running late for the 11 o'clock flashmob thingy so we dashed in for a quick find.
We signed the log after standing in line for a minute or two. Ha ha ha. Meeting a lot of people this way.

TFTC

thanks

found a few caches who just left the Flash mob for the Ozmega at the GZ got our picture taken for the Geocaching Mag, got the cache and left them to drop a few TBs off while we search for some place for lunch.. hungry work caching.. you know. found with Sol de lune and Albida.

Found with O319 and 23,457 other people.

Did this set the record for the most cachers at a cache during the Oz Mega event? There must've been 20 of us here at least!

TFTC Jeff Tickell

tftc

Our 5807th overall find.

Found on the way back from the flash mob, I did ask the previous finder to replace it so I could at least have the illusion of finding the cache...

Thanks Jeff Tickell for the cache.

Another cache found with Just a cacher during the OZ Mega at Albury. A quick find while everyone was tempted by chocolate hunts.

Thanks for another cache Jeff Tickell.

Another one by you, Jeff. Are you just deleting the emails reporting the finds, yet? So many cachers, so little time... fortunately, so many caches too!!
Thanks for this one.

Found while at Oz Mega. TFTC

In Albury/Wodonga for the Oz Mega event. We didnt have many caches on our to-do list, but this was one that we wanted to do.

Out for a spot of caching on the Sunday night with Steeba we headed to this spot that we visisted on our previous trip south. Back then we stopped here to refill our water bottles.
Thanks

I made an early morning trip out to this one during Oz Mega before the masses gathered for the nearby Flashmob.

A quick and easy find.

TNLN and thanks Jeff Tickell for the cache.

Quick find in between lots of teams on the geotrail.

This if the first time I have ever seen a cache with a resident photographer. But someone from a geocaching magazine had the place staked out and was snapping shots of everyone. Funny! Another nice spot and a familiar container.

Thanks Jeff Tickell

Quick find in the company of Ozibags and Just a Trifle - as we were handed the log book by other cachers. TFTC

Found with Black Bunny on our OzMega odyssey. Candy Cane 101 accompanied us on the trip, but didn't show a lot of enthusiasm for caches - there was a lad within hailing distance. I had a few back problems related to the camp bed, I think, so I missed a few, too.

Follow the cars with the Aussie flags hanging off them and you are sure to find a cache. Did this one just after the flash mob event. Took 2 tbs. Thanks Jeff Tickell for the cache.

Quick find here along with bogonghazy and the trail of other cachers from the Flash Mob event.
Thanks to Jeff Ticknell for this one.

Found with some other cachers after the Flash Mob

Crisp Image and Cache-eyes traveled together to find this cache as a part of the Oz Mega event.
An easy drive up cache.

Quick grab here along with a heap of other cachers on the way to the Flashmob event.
Thanks Jeff Tickell and Nath

Looked in the wrong spot first before widening search for
a quick find.
TFTH. Signed log

3716th total find at around 11:50

We have discovered that it is far easier to cache the mega with a two car convoy. There is a much greater navigational success and it is far easier to park.

Thanks Jeff Tickell for the cache, and please accept our apologies for "boilerplate logs" this week. Caching during the day and socialising at night leaves little time to do real justice to each cache log.

TFTC

ha nice hide and thanks for the cache... and that was a freaky lady sitting around the tree taking photos now that was weard....
