RACE CACHE #2 Alison, New South Wales, Australia
By ALL7 on 21-Sep-12. Waypoint GC3X71V

Closed cache as moving to Canberra for good...

All7 take me drive around to central Coast for Day... wow look heaps caches everywhere ... busy day...
Thanks All7

Our bird watching group was checking the skies around Jilliby today so before heading home I was able to grab a couple of caches. Before leaving home I had checked google maps to see where you could park on this busy road and on the way out I checked this spot and saw it was only a short walk to GZ.

On the way home I parked in a safe place well off the road and walked up to GZ. I thought I had to go further along the barrier according to the co-ords but on seeing lots of ants as mentioned by the previous finder I stopped and looked.
There I spied Race Cache #2.
After a quick removal of ants from the cache and my hands and arms, they move fast, I signed the log, visited some TBs and then rehid the cache and returned to the geomobile for the trip home.

TFTC # 1843

Found it

More ants!!! literally a quick grab TFTCSL

Find #1095
What a great day! After a day of caching pain (3 out of 12!) on NYE last weekend, we've come out and hit a fine half century.... 51 finds including a couple of gems, and 2 DNFs. We cached around Jilliby and out to Yarramalong and Kulnura today, filling in some gaps, evening a couple of scores and exploring new areas.
Back to the M1 area now after a loop through Jilliby, found the cache in seconds, 15m north/downhill of published coords. TFTC ALL7

Today we had an awesome day caching from Jilliby to Kulnura. We had 51 finds and 2 DNF'S

All7 take me drive around to Central coast... Oh boy heaps her own caches.. Thank you for help me.... Thanks All7

Off to the Central Coast today to do the country run and pick a few up on the way. Quick find. TFTC

As much as I dislike posting the first DNF on a cache with over 100 finds.... here it is. I might add the hint is not actually a hint...

Nice hide, TFTC. In good condition

I set out today to find two caches in my thirty kilometer radius, and start clearing my fifty kilometer radius. I had a pretty great time driving around to all these places I never knew about, while having a pretty great run as well, with twenty seven of twenty eight searches resulting in finds. Including four unknowns and one multi. When I finally got back home I saw three new caches had been published in my thirty, right where where I was...
My twenty third cache for the day. Parked on the other side of the road and walked across and back up to it. Found easily, but of cause a bike rider slowly rolled past as I waited impatienly for him to move on, so I could replace the cache.
Thanks for the cache!

Found 15/08/16, didn't see any ants but there were spiders, those who are familiar with the other caches in this series should have an easy time finding this even if the coordinates are out by a few meters

Easy find, thsnks for that and TFTC

An interesting treatment of this type of cache. TFTC.

TFTC. A quick park and grab.

My gps was way off but found it. Tftc

Found after a day 4WDing up in the Jilliby forest. TFTC.

Out and about in the area again today.
So many caches to find.
A quick find today for me.
Thanks for the cache

GPS was waaay off but found cache anyway! Great container. TFTC

TFTC!

I decided to head north from Sydney today and do a Central Coast run. It's only 40 minutes from home to the Wyong exit so why not - it's much more fun than driving in Sydney. And there seemed a nice little loop here for some numbers. Ended up with 23 finds and unfortunately 7 DNFs which didn't help, all OK for just over 4 hours away from home. Easier to park southbound but I managed to do a U-turn to get to the safe spot. Thanks ALL7.

ALL7/KAMFINDIT I found your cache RACE CACHE #2 on 25/03/2016, 4:51 AM. This is my find #1724 and find #2 today. A quick drive by on Easter Friday, early run up north to beat the traffic. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Today I was on a Geocaching tour around the Central Coast area, away from the City rush and out in the quiet bushland. My first way took me up to the hill through the Bush. I was looking here for the caches all alone.
Back in civilisation, I went back to Kulnarra and back to Gosford. I also found many caches here and was happy to look at the nice nature here.
Thank you to all the owners in the bushland for all those Caches
Thank you
Team sissifalke

Container was covered in ants but log safe, I must have looked funny swiping ants off me as I walked back to car. TFTC.

We had about 5 weeks of holiday and thought about, where to go. Will it be Argentina or Hawaii or where to go? Once we remembered on Australia – yeah – for a trip going there we would need that plenty of time!

In short – a few weeks later sitting in the aircraft with final destination Sydney, where we started our trip down under. Spending half week there, we were then flying up to Cairns and heading all the way back south until Melbourne, visiting a lot of National Parks with stunning views, crystal clear water, sandy beaches and impenetrably rainforest. There have been a lot of highlights – e.g. visiting Mossmann Gorge, the Whitsunday Islands, Carnavon National Park, Natural Bridge & Lamington National Park south of Brisbane, Wilson Prom NP and of course – the Great Ocean Road.

Some Aussies told us, that never saw a wild koala within the last 10 years and we were lucky to see koalas on 2 spots, the second time with over 10 species. Luckily we didn’t met one of the dangerous animals – only a baby shark, but this had been caught by a fishing-rod. Unfortunately also a lot of dead kangaroos – I would estimate nearly 500 in different states of decomposition.

So we really enjoyed the trip to Australia and of course also did some geocaches, which had been on our way, including some special ones from the year 2000! Luckily the weather was fine for most time – in sum it was a great holiday.


Heading south to Sydney we did another overnight stay at Wyong - with the worst accommodation ever ... So just grabbed this container on our way to the city center.

This was another nice quick and easy find with an appropriate decoration on the container. TFTC.

TFTC another great container

Well 'guarded' by little black ants! TFTC

9/09/15. 1:14 PM. Cache #2974. Streak day #444.
39th of 40 caches today.

After finding "Burn Roots" in Jilliby, I needed 2 more caches to make an even 40 for the day. A few caches in Alison just before I get back onto the M1 to go home seemed like a good idea, so I came to this one. Another easy park and grab.

I thought I might finish with a multi so I looked at "Princess Fiona" next. TFTC.

Must be due for a pit stop soon in this race. Tftc quick find.

Found it ! Quick pit stop

Well i have broken my DNF streak! This is easier in daylight then night. The co ords are out a bit but it is where you would expect. TFTC

This find had us walking Up and Down. But after having a good look around, it could only be in One Spot.
CoOrds appear to be about 10metres out...
TFTC....

Nice quick one

Found by Mary & David, at 0855. The good weather is over and today has been a constant deluge. David persisted with his umbrella - and success! Cache snug and dry. A nice touch with the decoration. Our thanks to ALL7.

Our last day here so picking up a few we have missed.

My geocaching ambitions aren't high, aiming for at least one find each month. Today's Race Cache #2 was my first for December. TFTC.

TFTC

This was the second of this series that we found after a missed turn and a detour back to the motorway. Thanks

#2791- Another one of this series found on our unconventional route to the Hunter Valley. Thanks

Camping over the weekend at the Casuarina Camping Area in Watagans State Forest, we left our camper trailer at the camp site and headed out for a full day of geocaching. After the 32 degrees on Friday, Saturday's 25 almost felt like a chill. We drove down trough the forest towards Jilliby and then head up north starting to tick off the 'Country' Series.

Another Race cache found by us!

Found with just pants TFTC

Found with Frankie's pants TFTC

I found this cache whilst out here completing the ALL7 Country series. I managed to get all of her series without having to posyt a DNF! This was a fairly simple hide as I have come across a number of these before. I did have to sit and wait for a break in the traffic and a good opportunity to make the find and then was impressed by the container itself! I wasn't expecting that! I took the log back to the car and signed it before hiding it back in its hidey hole.

TFTC cheers

Our second day camped at Wollombi, to pick up some caches in the area..
Enjoying travelling along the winding country roads, and the fantastic views.
There are a lot of motor bikes sharing the roads, due to the long weekend.

A nice quick drive-by cache, which was found in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, ALL7, for us and others to find.

Today was such a fine sunny day, it was a perfect day to get out into the fresh air and go geocaching ... so that's what I did, heading up to grab a few around the Wyong area. Having just nabbed Race Cache #3, I figured this would be a similar hide, and it was. The result ... I was in and out, with log signed, in just a minute or two ... a real park'n'grab.

Thanks for another smiley ALL7.

Nice easy park and grab, even though I overshot by 100m and so just walked up the grass rather than turn around. Nice weather for a stroll. Blue car not as classy as the Lamborghini .

A nice simple roadside find - space to pull up and a quick find. Love the 'twist' on the norm....Thanks for the hide ALL7.....vvvrrrooommm.....off I race to another cache

For what ever reason my GPSr wanted me 15m south of where the cache was hidden. I found it at S33 16.289 E151 24.297. Thanks ALL7.

Easy find cool car

Found at 11:17 AM GAFF1. Nice little container, but the only problem with the hide is that ants are making a nest all around it. Got ants crawling right up my arm - thank goodness they don't bite!

Thanks ALL7.

Could hardly see it, as it was the core of an ants nest! Disturbed the ants, got in our hair, top, everywhere! Signed the cache and put back, maybe the queen will get back in the drivers seat! TFTC

Quick find with Grub Fred.

Down from Newcastle for an enjoyable and successful day with Yella Belly (73 for the day), TFTC ALL7!!

Found this during the drive in the country near Central Coast, with All7...it was fun with driving off ?& on road with my geo4WD. TFTC!

Found on our road trip north to Byron tftc a little of the gps coordinates

Quick find after previously getting another in the series. Tftc

We walked straight passed it as coords were a little out for me.
Read a few recent logs & knew where to look...!
Log bag also split so replaced it.
SL TFTC

found while out night caching

qiuck easy find

Doing race cache 1 helped in making this one easy to find. Could block view by muggles with car pretty easy. Not to sure about the next one though. To much traffic for stealth. SL. TFTC.

typical ALL7 hiding spot

This was the first in the series I did and not knowing what I was looking for I followed where the gps led me. No luck there so then checked the length of the feature and found the container 15 mts away from where my gps wanted me to be. On reflection the container was placed in the only spot it could be concealed. Thanks ALL7

I had a bit of extra time on the way home, so thought I would try for my first Race Cache. Found it and signed the log. A cool cache, thanks ALL7! I've found a number of your caches now and many of them have that special touch I will make sure my son is along when I look for the others in this series.

That ends a lovely day of geocaching for me today, found 8 out of 8 caches which must be a record for me as I normally can't find the odd cache. Thanks to all those who have placed caches around the Central Coast!

We found this while on a holiday from SA. TFTC

Last of the three racers. Simple and safe park and grab.

Found on Day 4 of Central Coast road trip with mizmaz. TFTC!

Nice neat little hide.

[8d] I found it

Love the car [:x]

TFTC Haydos101 loved the car. A Scouts Australia Competition [:o)]

3-2-1 I did these backwards as that was the direction I go home from work. The first was a walkup and so too were the following two. I needed my invisible cloak for these, as this road is pretty busy. I think I am starting a relationship with the local copper, as he saw me again today and then at #2 and gave me a weird look. Certain he was going to stop, but no, he kept going.

Ticked off another one in this series today, pulled up as the GPS was ticking down the meters to GZ, once we stopped it was a nice quick find. Thanks for the cache ALL7.
