Easy find on a lovely day. Quick lunch at the bakery, a cache, and we are on our way again.
Thanks! Muggle heavy, the young lad did well for a sneaky find and grab and return. With Owie and the GC fam
Here for 2 days to catch up with friends returning to Tasmania. We are from Sydney. A few muggles nearby, so like a thief I pretended I was invisible and found the cache. TFTC travelling sister
After a week in Victoria riding the rail trails and grabbing caches im starting back home today. This was my second cache of the day. After stopping off for a coffee i was able to make a quick find at the GZ. Thanks. #1816

TFTC TSOut and about with Mrs Wackyweedo on a long overdue cache day. Mrs WW was behind the wheel today so I took on Passenger Princess duties quite well after recent surgery which has me banned from behind the wheelfor now. We were going to head to Holbrook for the lab and bakery but sort of took the long way there to grab a couple of extras and after lunch we grabbed this one too. Spotted the cache fairly quickly and then waited for a clearing in the traffic before making the find. TFTC.
Chilly day in Holbrook. Just visited the Bald Archies exhibition. Fantastic. This is a humorous offtake of the Archibald prize competition. Excellent artistic skills on display
Sir_spectre and I had hoped to join in the fun of the Mega in Canberra but unfortunately life got in the way so we planned a trip for a few weeks later. We might have missed all the great events and catching up with geocaching friends from far and wide but at least we got to find lots of great caches still.Any cache that needed some love got it, if possible.Thanks
replaced container for the co. after finding all the ones in this series in SA. I figured I could make a detour and fix this one while on holidays. It's a mint tin magnetic as per the hint.Found with Mogni. Myself and mogni are headed off to canberra on the " I missed the Capital GeoBash Mega " holiday, since last minute family problems came in to play and we had to adjust our plans by a few weeks. On the way over we targeted multi's, wherigo's and puzzles to make sure we had 25 in each or at least close to that total ( or more ) as possible, getting as many new New South Wales LGA's as possible, the 17th most favourite point NSW cache and every cache size in New South Wales.In the ACT it was getting 2 of the 5 oldest letterboxes, oldest wherigo in Australia, 2nd oldest earthcache ( with a side trip to get the oldest earthcache of course ), and ACT oldest cache too. I also hosted a CITO and planned on getting every different cache type i could and eevry different cache size as well. I also needed 9 more virtuals this trip to get my virtual count over 100. Finally canberra was far enough away from from house to complete the well aged well travelled cacher 0 to 1000 kms with a cache every 10 km's ( i only need 7 more caches to complete )Leaving the ACT it was going via Victoria to get there last active web cam cache and slowly getting a total of 20 finds in each LGA i passed through if i had enough time plus also hosting a CITO in Victoria as well. A busy 11 days. Trust me by the end of the holiday you would have thought the 6 meter ladder weighed more than 13 kg's to amount of times it was used or carried up hills or over creeks. If your cache was found with a broken container/lid it was replaced or if the log was full it was replaced or a extra log if the container was big enough ( except for nano's, do your own maintenance on nano's.

Sorry - life has got busy and I haven't got back to Holbrook to replace this one,If someone is passing on the way back from the Canberra Mega and drops in I am happy to let them know where the cache should go.Otherwise I will hopefully get up in the next few weeks to replace
Cache is indeed missing. Lunch time on a Friday was way too busy to replace.I will try and get back on Sunday - otherwise will be out of action for a few weeks until I can get back.CO has been contacted directly.
Found with isopeda on day 4 of our trip to Albury. Om the way home and stopped to collect some strays. Tftc
Dropped in with barb2e whilst travelling from Albury to Canberra. Also had a peep in the church and admired the roses. TFTC *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
On my way home from a working bee in Jingellic. Quick stop in Holbrook, busy place today. Cache found quickly and in good order. TFTC!
After an extremely busy two-ish months, I was finally able to get out with my new geo-mobile and go Geocaching. I decided it was time to clean up the area between Wagga and Holbrook. This trip was via Mangoplah. I found most of the caches I planned to find. Most were quick finds and others I needed to PAF option. The others I wanted to find, the reasons why I didnt were either, too many muggles around or I ran out of time. So, I will at some point return to find these caches. As for the day, I enjoyed day out and visiting places I have never been to or has been a long time since my last visit. TB visit. I would like to thank all COs of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring the Geocaching enjoyment. 
TFTCs! I'm finally in Holbrook and I spent a few hours caching around the area as well as having lunch. This was one of the caches I found here. This one was a quick find at GZ and then I was off to the next cache. TFTC

On my way home from a fishing trip at Tantangara. Thought I'd pop in and check out Holbrook. All good here. Now onto the next one for the day. TFTC
A whole four day trip with Aquilus1 to do the GeoTour in Ballarat some caching around Geelong and anything else that looked good on the way.
Weather was ok albeit a bit on the wet side for the first two days. Now on day 3 the weather is bice and sunny and we are pressing on with the last few Geotour caches on the way out and driving towards Queenscliff.
On our way back tom Canberra now.
This cache was one of the ones we had the oportunity to do.
A nice cache here!
Thank you Travelling Sister for the nice cache and experience you gave us!

Container missing but log present. Photo sent to CO as my pen isn’t with me. TFTC
Found during a brief stop over in Holbrook. the log was a couple of screwed up pieces of paper totally unusable so I added a sheet of paper which should last until the CO can do some maintenance,.
Found with PC on our family holiday. First find for a while. And a new county.
Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache!
A quick find while over nighting in Holbrook. Unfortunately we don't have a container to put the log in. TFTC Travelling Sister.
Definitely not in its cache holder. Just a small plastic bag. Nice spot though and no risk of being seen by muggles. TFTC.
We continued today our tour in NewSouthWales, AUS, and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.
The weather was - said in one word – simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood.
The cache (1.5, 1.5) had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.
Thanks to Travelling Sister for the generation of this nice cache Mary MacKillop - Holbrook (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.
PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they appeared.
Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

Based on others comments, I found it but how did this get through the screening process? If you see what you think is it, yes it is the cache. Logs are damp, couldn't sign and welfare check needed.
We are on our way home from the Rutherglen Mega. We came here for the cache but found out that Holbrook was the home of HMAS Otway!
Mary MacKillop caches have taken us far and wide into rural Australia and we find small churches often no longer used which is sad. In Peterborough SA, we were lucky enough to see the Church and the Presbytery. One of the highlights of our trip.

On our way through we had a play on the submarine and a nice stroll down to find the cache. Thank you.
Exploring around Rutherglen with Wicky. She's not great on road trips, so plenty of cache stops to break things up. Thanks for placing this cache!
Cheers

Heading to Canberra today with WendyB158 to walk the Centennial Trail, we stopped here in Holbrook for a lunch break and to stretch our legs around town.
At GZ, we found the old and new logsheets, all neatly double bagged in two ziplocks as previously described, in a location that matched the hint, but no physical cache to hold them. The logsheets are nice and dry for now, but maybe the CO or caretaker could organise a suitable replacement container at some stage. TFTC Travelling Sister.

Interesting history, cache difficult to find, plastic bag only. With chook, my mentor
Easy find but the cache log was in desperate need of help so I added a log sheet and put it all in to another plastic bag. I hope it will survive until the cache owner checks it. TFTC
Oooh !! Goody !!
Another installment of this series needed a short pilgrimage to find me the cache
A quick find
