Out caching in the area, a nice quick find here.The weather is good and I am having a nice day. Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl

Nice find after a lovely dinner at the Macquarie Inn Thanks for getting me out and about Morley196

Colo River TripHeading to Wiseman's Ferry area for a weekend of caching with Joolay. Found after dinner with Joolay, contesta, SG and Aykayem. Lots of hidtory here. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache Morley196

This was the last find for the day. The time has come for the Great Colo River adventure. I managed to get away from home about 10am as I have made a list of caches that I would love to find on the way up.The weather is glorious - sunny, warm and a slight breeze - just perfect for caching! However, not the same can be said for the traffic and I admit it made me adjust my list. Also it confirmed why I don't like living in the city. I arrived at the evening's event in good time, having enjoyed a successful day's caching as there were no DNFs. I even had time to start some ALs along the way. A huge thanks to all the COs who contributed to this fantastic game. This was one of the caches that I found and signed.

Find # 12987Catching up on a few counties in the way to a kayaking weekend in the Colo. Fun times!!Many thanks to Morley196 for placing The First Toll in Australia for us all to enjoy. Your contribution to the game through the placement and maintenance of this cache over the years is appreciated.

Heaps of history in this area. TFTC

Whilst working on a couple of the close by multi s , thought wed take the time to get a traditional. Found with the shoeiiz and storeytelller Tftc

Found with PapaGrouch. Went for a walk this morning, first to get some breakfast then on to some caching. This was the first we stopped for, a fairly quick find and a container type I haven't come across before. TFTC

Nice quick find. Just had to scrape the spider webs awayTFTC

Wanted to find this one for a while. Finally came with geo hubby and soon had cache in hand TFTC

We're off to the Tiny homes. Exhibition stopping in Windsor for some lunch. Thought we do a geocache on the way appropriate that this one was a micro! Thanks for maintaining the cache

Cool

Lovely day by the river to log another find. TFTC! -

A quick find while in the area. TFTC.

Catching up with a friend out this way today which was great! Was able to show them what Geocaching was and we searched for a couple and this was the first one. Unfortunately neglected to bring a pen so here's a photo; TFTC!

Smart hiding spot

A very interesting location here, a nice and easy find here and the cache is all good.

This afternoon with 6 hours spare I decided to catch the train out from mascot to windsor and find a few caches around the town and collect a new LGA.

Thank you for the cache

Hello Morley196 thank you for the cache

This one was an easy find once I looked in the right place.

This was one of many caches found on our way to Newcastle to see our grand children.

**TFTC**

Good hide

Once I figured out which side of the path it was and cleared away all the spiders that had gathered after darkness we had the cache in hand tftc

Found this one after gathering the info at the multis across the road. Hopefully I’ll get to mount Victoria at some point and lay that one to rest eventually! TFTC

Perfect for the kids thank you!

Fairly easy find today. Loved the history of this spot and the whole town. Great that the cache has survived in its spot in spite of floods. All in good condition.
Thanks Morley196

Easy find and I enjoyed getting a few photos of the toll house a short walk away! TFTC

TFTC! Greetings from Poland

Easy one and quick one for a little hunt while waiting for time to pass.

Found while out exploring the town for the Mrs birthday. Great easy start to the trek! Tftc

Love the history thank you

Found with Brandonbeneke, nice fresh log book for us to sign

Clever hide, first sign in the new log TFTC

New log good to go TFTC.

This one was pretty easy. Good job though

maybe missing maybe not?

Easy find. Hint was great. Log book is full so I squeezed my name along the side.

Log is full. Thanks for a great trail along Windsor Road. TFTC

No. 23 find for the day. Found alongside Geo Buddy, Mystic Seer who came along for the ride and to find some previously missed hides along the bike path. A fairly straight forward find. TFTH Thanks to the CO, Morley196 for bringing us to this area. Cheers.Found. Good hint. Unable to sign due to log being full. Have contacted the CO.

This was the second of 11 finds for today. After finding ‘Jim Anderson Bridge’, Mizmaz and I made our way to the centre of Windsor and found a really good parking spot to leave the car and continue our day of caching. We needed to start our loop of gathering information for the nearby multi and we also knew there were a handful of extra caches to grab along the way. We found our way around to GZ, and with the nature of GZ and the hint, I had a fairly good idea where the cache was located. SL. TFTC.

Combined a few bonus smileys while collecting clues for a multi (or two).

TFTC Had picnic on Hawrkesbury. Jumped out car with geo hubby to walk to Vineyard & finish off the Windsor Rd caches. Lets see how far we get.

TFTC found with Twinkletoes7202

Thank you!

The last of our planned caches along Windsor Road. Our family outing to celebrate a birthday. Found with mhoneybadger.

Tftc

Thanks my first micro!!! Makes me feel better that I can find them

TFTC. Quick find. Log full. Visiting from USA.

A great hide and did not have to pay toll. My lucky day. Tftc sl

Parked nearby for this one and found the easiest access route. Noting the hint made for a quick find. All was in good order and was put back in place before we headed over to do the closest multi cache. Interesting how many people live close by Thanks for this hide, Morley196.

Tftc but log is full

Nice quick find

Our first for the day. TFTC

#2675 I had been here before and found it with alnic39 on 4/12/15 when I was but a member. So now with premium came along here which made it a very quick find

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Vineyard for a short three day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Avina Caravan Park, and planning on exploring the areas around Vineyard, McGraths Hill, Mulgrave, Windsor, Wilberforce, and Ebenezer. And being the final weekend of the Cache Carnival (ends Monday) we will be looking to maximise our score on the Friends Leaderboard. This was our 4th find of the day, and 17th find of the holiday.

A quick find as we passed under Windsor Road, after visiting the old Toll House and gathering information for the Toll Houses MultiCache. No toll was paid, but the log sheet was signed and then the cache container was replaced as found. TFTC Morley196.

Find #3061

Started my journey to close the gap and accidentally left this one behind, I was so eager on getting started. Doubled back and found this one, signed the log and moved forward with the rest of the route. Whew! Thanks for the hide!

Tftc good find

Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

#3464
Out for a short caching run with Rama497 before attending the 2018 GIFF event. a nice easy find with the hint. With the signing completed, Rama487 returned the cache to its hiding spot. Thanks Morley196.

#276
Out in the area with Calypso62 for tonight's GIFF 2018 - Hawkesbury.
We went a completed a few caches before the event.

Walked passed the old toll house to get to GZ. Found quickly.

I signed the log and off for the next one.

Gotcha! An easy find with the help of the hint. I'm surprised the NSW government doesn't have a toll on the road now, but I'm sure they have plans for another motorway with a toll in future.

Find #: 1,850 (41 of 45 for day)
Companions: None
Weather: Sunny but windy winter's afternoon
Cache condition: Good

Nice views of the river from the nearby bridge. TFTC!

Tftc - attempting to get as many as we can today, got a third along the bike trail and relised it would be easier with a bike. Off to Wisemans Ferry instead.

Nice n easy

Found

TFTC

Yay, a simple find when out for a walk! Thanks for the history lesson as well!

Nice day for a bike ride. TFTC

A great day for a bike ride in western Sydney with my granddaughter. Thanks to the COs for all the caches... and to those who helped maintain them.

We left early this morning to get as many caches as we could along this trail. Ended up getting just over 80 so it was a very good day. Thanks for all the caches.

Didn't take too long to find; nice cache. TFTC

Nicely hidden, it was a bit hard to find but managed it in the end. TFTC.

Persistence paid off. Keep on cachin'!

Always love caching with this group, a fun day out on this trail chasing planets. Thanks to all COs for the caches.

A small tour of Sydney based between Mortdale and Bowen Mountain and Manly had me finding a few caches when I had a spare moment. This cache added to the fun of my visit.

The place is full of history, including the oldest pub in Australia which I also visited. After paying the toll, they would have needed a beer or 3. I managed to avoid tolls on my caching adventures.

Thanks to Morley196 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Out with the gang collecting caches along Windsor and Richmond roads. It was a medium long pedal but a great day. Disappointingly we had to replace a few containers along the way but no biggie either since the effort should breath some life back into the trail. TFTC.

A fun day of caching with friends around Windsor.
OCWF&F SL TFTH

Out on a bicycle caching run with geobuddies along both the Richmond and Windsor Rd trails and also grabbing any other caches in-between.
Overall our day was a whooping 10hrs on the bikes and we all enjoyed every pedel of the way.
We found a total of 87 caches today so I apologise for my repeated logs,
Thanks to all the cache owners for providing us with a great day out.

More places in history we’d never even notice without searching for a cache. TFTC

Gz was initially on a different part of the track but a quick search and i had the cache in hand. Tftc.

Yup, it gets a fav, and thanks for the nice walking. TFTC

Needing some exercise I headed out early today and after parking the geomobile headed off to grab these caches along the pathway. Lots of interresting hides and a few DNF's to add to a fun day. After finding each cache and signing the logs all were returned as found.

My apologies for the generic logs.

TFTC Morley196

Out for a bike ride with SeeMyShell this morning.. The track took a while because we got distracted by the two pubs along the way, and probably spent more time in there than riding the bikes ...It is Christmas time after all Most caches were found in good order with 52 finds and 6 DNFs for me today.. Thanks for the caches and adventure!

??

This was the last Morley196 cache I found on my 63 finds in 7 hr 45 min 'day-trip'.
Just a note to say Thanks Very Much for stringing together such an extensive power-trail, and to add a Favourite Point. Cache well!

Been wondering how many a solo cacher could reasonably find in daylight hours. Made an attempt today to celebrate a major life milestone. Started near the South end of the Old Windsor Road 'power trial' and cycle-cached my way North. The initial target was to make 40 but managed to complete that before noon. So continued on to Windsor. 50 finds came up just before Windsor with still a few hours left before needing to get back to the Eastern Suburbs for an engagement. So picked off a few more caches on either side on the ride back to the car. Tally for the day (in 7 hours 45 minutes): 63 finds and 7 DNFs. A big thank you to Morley196 for making this outing possible.

48th find of the day.
**WOW!!!** To think what I was charged (automagically by electronic transfer) getting here along the Eastern Distributor, M2, LCT and M7!!!
TFTC and the interesting history

Our first time in this part of the country, and what a great way to see the area and learn about it. Always love a series we can do on our bikes.
The first one down thanks to the hint.
TFTC

OCW Rodney1210. I had previously completed some of this PT so Rodney did the catching up thing this morning and then we carried on together after that. We walked the track and completed most of it today bar a few DNFs and a few we ran out of time for.

My apologies for the same log over and over. I really appreciate the effort you have gone to create and maintain this PT. Given that we were chasing numbers today, these caches made for quick and easy finds. Thankfully the rain held out and we made it back to the car just as it began to fall.

I look forward to avenging the DNFs once they're active again and completing the last few caches and mystery final. TFTPT!

OCW Coastblue Big day as we tackled the Windsor Power trail. Coastblue had already found a few so I got started early and caught up until she joined me. Overall I found 46 with 7 DNFs and a few we didn't go for as they'd been muggled. Great day out, we managed to avoid the rain and finish before sunset! As this is the first cache in the Windsor Power trail, I'm awarding the cache a favourite point on behalf of the entire trail in recognition of all the work to create and maintain it. Cache# 337 thank you for the trail
