Logs
Searched a few trees, but same as last log, the tree i think it is only has a black zippy tie on a broken limb. Although i could be looking in the wrong place.
Another day on the roads finding local caches.
After another road trip up into the hills I am making my way home.
I have come the correct way this time.
The tree has fallen over. So i think the hint might be a little wrong now.
All I found was a zip tie around a stub of a branch.

well we did this series totally backwards that seems to be a trend with us recently but just as fun anyways TFTC ALL7 we had a great time getting out and finding you caches today before the storm the log was very wet but we managed to sign it
Last one completed. The log is saturated and need replacing. We stuck a sticker there of our visit. TFTC
Another easy find but could not sign the log as it was very wet, didn't have anything on hand to replace it or able the dry the current log.
We returned the cache container upside down to prevent water entering the lid, suggest future finds do the same.

Our last few for the day as we headed up the old road to the parking spot near the freeway. We wander over to #1 and soon spotted the container, signed the log and moved on. TFTC
Up the rocky path to #2 which took us a while find as it was well covered but we eventually found. We completed the signing duties and hid. TFTC
On to #4 and as we closed in we saw what was at hand. A careful survey and we moved to a particular spot to spot something that look interesting and made the find of the nice bit of camo. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

A quick find as there were no muggles about. Cache was in good condition. TFTC ALL7. [1790]
Started out to get the freeway series. Got this one first and found the log is very wet. Have put it in my car in the sun to dry while i get the other three. TFTC
Our Walk was well and truely underway when the Etrx was beeping.
If I got any closer it would have bitten me...But I focused along the branch and soon had CIH.

7129 Out today for a bike ride and got to this one and found it straight away. tree didnt look to weird for me but just knew where it was meant to be TFTC
Out on a night caching run with Orrsome. Saw a big pile of rubble and started looking. Soon Orrsome spotted this at the actual coordinates. The log was a bit moist.
Thanks for the hunt and cache!

Night caching with TOMBI saw us heading down to this series and to see if we could find one or two others nearby. Was looking in the wrong location for a little bit before i looked at what TOMBI was doing and spotted it. TFTC
Found easy I found 1,2 and 4 . cant find #3 no cache there [Time to Find: 5 min]
A couple of times while passing by on the Link Road, I wondered if anyone actually scrambled over the escarpment from the main drag to grab these 4...I once saw a man walking away from his car on the freeway GPS/Phone in hand - he looked like a Geocacher.
Anyway, today while out and about with Opa-Bob I got my opportunity to grab these 'Freeway' caches without actually having to stop on the freeway - just as it says. A closer look at the map found the long way in, and after stopping at a few stumps along the way we took the car as far as it would take us, and then it was on foot from there.
At first I wondered what the clue was indicating, but the GPS seemed to know which one, and in no time at all Opa-Bob had taken finding honours, and I got the 'honours' of trotting back to the car for a pen that worked! Thanks for another smiley ALL7

This series has caught my attention previously when entering/exiting the freeway here but have never been in the right place at the right time to do it. But today is different ... I'm out and about with Mumma-Kel picking up a few caches in this part of the world after earlier finding Doc-Who's Shrek and Princess Fiona caches at Jilliby, so we are in the right place at the right time today.
This was our start off point and thanks to the hint, a quick find was made. After returning to the car to get a pen that worked (glad we found that out at #1 not #3 or #4!), logging duties were completed and we moved forward to #2. Thanks for the find ALL7.

Nice short walk from the car park. quick spotted the cache and signed the log. Thanks All7.
Sometimes it helps when the sunlight is in the right place. This was our last find for the day and so we completed successfully another of the ALL7 series. TFTC ALL7.

Found quickly but muggles around. Came back after I finished the series to sign. TFTC!
Found at 3:29 PM GAFF3. Back for another go after an unsuccessful attempt last year. Was surprised where the GPSr took us this time and then a sneaky little hide that no longer matches the cache description was found.
Thanks ALL7.
Feedback: It is a micro black container now - not a "silver cache"

This should be an FTF after the time spent trying to find the old cache and then finding the new one. This was difficult because having the old cache in mind I had to pick and probe everywhere.

I did these in reverse order, and this was the last of the day, Unfortunately it will be a DNF because it appears the boulder the cache was under is itself sitting in a water bed. I sent the cache owner photo's to confirm, and CO is going out to check.
Took a bit to find, but there were only so many places to look. Thanks for this series of 4 caches ALL7!

With 4 caches in a small area, thought this would be ideal before sunset. A quick search had the the CIH. With log signed, time to find No. 2 SL TFTC

Nice walk down the side of the link road. Pass this spot every day, always wondered what was down here. TFTC.
Driving home from Newcastle and just happened to look at the GPS. A quick stop, a bit of a walk, and a few caches. Nice!
I had a search when I got here, but couldn't find anything, so I headed off to the other FreeWay caches.
On return, the grass was a bit drier, which made a more comfortable search.
After looking in all the wrong areas and getting very muddy knees, I went back to where the GPS was leading me, had a deeper look and feel, and the cache was in hand.

DNF at 12:15:13 PM. There was a working crew out here when I turned up and so as not to attract too much attention I enlisted them in the hunt. However it was all to no avail. Couldn't find anything.
Feedback: In the hint, should around be ground?

2000 While 'today' had been earmarked in my holidays to find x 30 caches in a day for the MGSc cache requirement, as I'd only found <10 so far after a heap of DNFs that plan was put off until 'tomorrow'.
A couple of circles around, and checking of various spots and soon had the cache GAFF1.
Through: B2B ingot, and trackable shirt

Nice cache, Coord's spot on, Not sure about the Hint, Met another couple of Cachers there, TFTC
Nice location with good access. Grabbed during a bike ride setting ourselves a PB for most caches found on a bike ride. This ended up 1 of 5! thanks ALL7.
Headed out from Morisset this morning to get a few caches. An area we have not cached in before so it was nice looking at the scenery. This was one we targetted to find and were successful. It was only because the previous logs said how accurate the coords were that we persisted and found the well hidden cache. The clue was confusing.
Thanks to ALL7.

Not sure about the clue, hide found soon enough in evening light.

Came down to grab a few more of ALL7's caches. This was number 6 on the list. With good coords, and although very well hidden, a quick find was had. Thanks ALL7.
Searched around a bit for this one, just as i was abput to get help from friend, we found it.
Joint *FTF* with Jonignite.
Another quick find in the series, just up the road from where we nabbed one yesterday. TFTC.

I searched and searched... then went to do the other 3 FREEWAY caches... then searched for this one again.
Not sure where I went wrong on this one, I looked everywhere conceivable!
