Tumut is a great area loved our day caching.

Found with O319 on an afternoon caching around Tumut. TFTC

Quick find with SJG66 as we toured Tumut. TFTC

Easily found. Left a little something!

Found at 2:21 PM GAFF1.We think there has been some cache creep involved in this cache.Thanks to ozpirateFeedback: CO needs to check on it and make sure it is still in its original location.

Thanks for this, we started off looking too high but then spotted it.

A not so quick find...gps was not co-operating and we were not looking at the correct altitude lol TFTC

too easy tftc

Nice spot, tftc

Found it but I didn’t need height to get it

Caching with Baby Birt and grandson Bailey, picking up recyclables as we go

We decided to go on a quick caching outing after work today. We have never been out on the Wee Jasper road before and really enjoyed the scenic road. This one was not really where I expected it to be, but quickly found by Mrs Thrips. TFTC!

Quick find here. Found suspicious bark.
Thanks for the cache, ozpirate!

Out for a drive with Just a cacher and decided to grab a cache or two while we were in the area.

Just managed to reach the cache here today.

Thanks for the cache ozpirate.

TFTC - found with rainygirl74

Found with Dozenmater TFTC

Stopped to do this cache while travelling through this area with ilook4geo. There was no problem in locating the cache as it couldn't be any lower really and the log was duly signed with both names before all was carefully put back into place. Thanks got to ozpirate for placing this cache.

Out on a cache hunt with goingplaces2 and found this one today. TFTC.

Found fairly quickly where it was supposed to be. Name suddenly made complete sense once found. Idyllic spot - shame about the Yahoo's whizzing past every 5m!

After this morning's CITO in Canberra, I decided to go for a long drive and visit Tumut for the first time. I went via Wee Jasper to grab the newish Tankengine caches out this way. Cache easily found. TFTC.

Day three of my travels around Yass and Tumut chasing caches. Drove a few back roads collecting caches amongst the traffic (lots of people were up in the mountains over the long weekend). A good range of caches before heading home around lunch time. Drove through a little part of the summer bushfire country but f I had have headed through Tumbarumba would have been a different story.

This one isn't in the correct position as it was found lower than a snake's belly. Log still signed and on my way.
TFTC ozpirate

Found under camo on the ground. We put it back where we found it.

I find it

Searched until found the cache sitting out in open. Placed at nearest tree. thanks

Easy reach and we are not tall. Riding between caches for exercise.

Found. Was blown away from the win, but put it back where I believe it should have been.

Left in plain sight...not micro sized, only small.

It is the second day of Canberra's Invasion of Tumut. It was a bright sunny day and I'm more relaxed with no plans made. Pa, the friendly but often impatient muggle, is however ready to go again after a day off, so I left it to him to plan the route we should take, filling in gaps that I hadn't previously cached.
It was great fun meeting up with fellow cachers around the traps, walking with them at times and exchanging hints , stories and ideas . Thanks to all who attended this weekend adding to a most enjoyable experience.
Unfortunately though, I feel as if I have logged more DNFs this weekend than in the rest of my caching life.
This obviously was not one of them, so the log was signed, usually as SG, as I often do in small caches to save space or when I am in a hurry.
Many thanks to COs for placing these caches which added to my experiences.

There was a small group of "us" heading off to meet more of "us" in Tumut for the weekend. Our merry band of misfits was made up of MTrax, Tankengine, Joolay, Aquilus1 and myself. In the car we all thought of a name that we could call our gang, but in the end we decided it was a Canberra Invasion Trip that we were on so just went with CBR5. We signed logs either indiviually or with the group name.

It was an awesome weekend all up, with lots of fun with friends. We cached all day then met up with the rest of the Invasion Team for dinner Saturday night, then cached some more on Sunday until it was time to head home. Tftc ozpirate!!!

not sure but the hint seems to imply it shouldn't be on the ground

Found on our Geocaching invasion of Tumut, a merry bunch of cachers from Canberra, enjoying nice weather and scenery around the district

Found with Tankengine,Joolay, Aquillous and DTY73 signed as "CBR5"

thanks ozpirate

Found with dty73, Aquilus1, Joolay and Mtrax on our Canberra invasion of Tumut and surrounds! (Log signed as CBR5). Of course, we also had a lot of other Canberra cachers in town this weekend, and we all had a dinner on Saturday night at the pub! It was a great weekend, and I think a lot of us "cleaned out Tumut" Thanks for the cache ozpirate.

Off I go with the Canberra geomob for a Tumut invasion for the weekend Caching, dinner at the pub, lots of laughs and more caching made for a fantastic weekend with a great bunch of people

Quick find for me at this spot. I love archery!

Thanks for the hide, ozpirate

Found with CBR5-DTY73, Tankengine, MTrax and Aquilus1 on a caching trip to Tumut. Having a great day, lots of fun. Unless otherwise stated cache found in good condition.

Found with nissan 65 . Heading away for a few days caching . Cannot believe how dry it is out here. Thanks for the cache

Found with cullum68 on our way to Tumut for a couple of days thanks for the cache

Found this on the ground. Strong winds today may be the reason? Thanks

Camped in Tumut for a couple of days. Hot day today, off to tackle some caches in the area.TFTC

A quick find here. TFTC.

It was an early start to the day when I set out with Aquilus1 at 0600 on Sunday morning (04/01/2018) to cache Tumut with a side trip to Gundagai. In all we travelled 520kms and it took almost 16 hours to visit 70 plus caches with 65 finds. A long but very enjoyable day. Some of the highlights of the day included visiting Junction Bridge (a Truss Bridge built in the 1800s), Googarragandra River Suspension Bridge (Built in 2006 and Spanning 51..8 meters), Tumut River Grey-headed Flying Fox Colony, Tumut Rail Station and the Tumut River. We had a little time to also visit the Old Gundagai Jail built in 1859 and the Old Flower Mill built in the 1848. Aquilus1 took a photo of me at the Brungle Centenary Park using my poker to poke the cache out of its hiding spot. We had lunch at Gundagai McDonalds and snacks at Subway. This is a generic log due to the volume of all the caches that we found on the day. Thanks to Aquilus1 for a fantastic day of caching and thanks to all the cache owners for placing the caches.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. As of 31st January 2018 my average was only 20 words per log, which seems a long way to the 100 target. However given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After 2350 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including today), the average log length is just over 50. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my gaol before this year ends. Progress has been better than anticipated.

It was an early start to the day that saw Darksidedan and myself heading to Tumut for the day with a side trip of some Gundagai caches as well as we travelled through. I had been keen to head off for a caching trip and Tumut looked ideal and definitely didn't disappoint. The scenery as we traveled through the area was everything I had hoped it would be and the clear fast flowing rivers beautiful as they flowed through the middle of it all.

A long but very enjoyable day, so many highlights and although we covered a large area and many caches I'm pleased to know there are many more so a return trip sometime is definitely going to happen.

Amused at the horse across the road that was very interested in what we where doing and calling out! Hello back! Thanks for the cache ozpirate.

Replaced the container for the co. Its now a white pill bottle hidden in the tree bark at waist height.

DNF with whitepaws9.... sob sob

Black Bunny is 193cm, while I am quite short. Neither of us could find this one.

Beginning to loose heart!! Wish I was ten feet tall.

Couldn't spot the cache today.

Found after work further up the road and before heading back into town for a cleansing ale or two. No one in the range and I was far enough off the road to have a good poke around without being obvious to the passing cars. Many thanks ozpirate

This was one instance when it paid off to go back through earlier logs. Armed with this info and appropriate TOTT it was soon retrieved, SL and replaced. Loved the peaceful pastoral views out this way. TFTC

A plan was hatched to go and pick up some caches in Tumut over the weekend with Rapidlywild.
So after work we set out on the trek.

Well this one took a bit of imagination since both of us are vertically challenged. But with a TOTT we sone had cache firmly in hand and replaced again.

TFTC ozpirate

Checked out a nearby bark'y one before heading back to the correct spot. Easily reached!

Thanks

Plans were put into place for a weekend down at Tumut with one party of the FurfacesLL ladies. We headed off Friday after work and came home Sunday afternoon. We had a great weekend wandering around Tumut and surrounds seeing lots of things. The rivers were all flowing nicely and they were very clear. If it was hotter, im sure we would have taken a dip

hmm 2 short females caching together, prob not the best for a cache like this. Fortunately we had a TOTT to assist

Thanks ozpirate for the placement of this cache[^]

I found this in seconds, so I wonder why I couldn't find it last visit, unless it was missing. I needed a stool to reach it and so would most people, so the 1.5 star terrain is misleading. TFTC ozpirate.

Day ten of our High Country holiday. Another sunny day at Tumut with Bettyboo3747
Got out the deadly treadlies for a relative early morning ride along the river then up to the mountain bike tracks (no one told me they were up the top of the hill!)
We then travelled north and east of town for the odd cache.

No red flags flying today we were pleased to see.
BB spotted the cache but she was about an inch too short.
Luckily, I am about an inch taller.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 10013. Unfortunately our last full day here in lovely Tumut. We had our early morning bike ride, collecting some caches on the way and then headed out in the geo-chariot this afternoon to find a few more. It has been a good day with me finding my 10,000th cache along the way.

There was no red flag flying today (being a week day I guess). Spied what we were looking for as we approached. Fortunately Rob is quite a bit taller than me as I couldn't reach it.

Thanks ozpirate

Grabbed this one after watchingt a bit of action at the nearby range today.
Thanks for the cache ozpirate. We came through the gate, found the cache and high fived. Great way to finish the morning.

We are setup in our accommodation for the night so started our night run around the area here. Easy find.

18:45 Hrs
The start of our night time caching run around Tumut.
Nice easy find.

Found with my parents Boeing737 and WhiteChocolateMocha. TFTC

I was the hero of the moment when I found this. We'd been searching a while. Got sprung by some muggles entering the archery range just as we arrived so we pretended to be fascinated with a large tree. Not sure if they bought it!

Almost eluded us but WCM spotted it! Muggles caught us on arrival. TFTC

Great hide. Needed geokid #3 to assist

Another great part of the country. TFTC

Thanks for the cache, having fun

Leaving Tumut and heading back to Canberra. It was raining but we soldiered on in our wet weather gear. A quick find with Chocolistick03. Thanks ozpirate.

I had visions to trying to scale a ghost gum but thankfully my genes were all that I need, TFTD ozpirate.

A bit chilly this morning, but as the sun was out, we decided on a drive to Adelong,
Tumut and Gundagai to pick up a few caches.
With lots of lovely scenery and a variety of cache hides, we had a good day out.
Most of the caches were found quickly, with only a few hides a little tricky.
Many thanks for placing this cache, ozpirate, for us and others to find.

A bit tricky but got it eventually, and very pleased to do so.

TFTC

Not a muggle in site ! Found this one laying on the ground. I do like this colour ! Placed as per the description & hint. SL TFTC ozpirate.

After some time spent looking up we eventually found the cache hidden on the ground at the base of the tree. We didn't think this was where the C.O. intended it to be but decided to return it to the same spot so as not to create confusion.
We loved the sign on the nearby gate, not one you see every day.
TFTC.

DNF. Too much time spent to not find a 1.5 star cache.

9144 + 1023 = 10167. Found during a road trip to Tumut with Sol de Lune....

Headed out early today from Canberra to do a road run round trip to Tumut - which has been a happy hunting ground for caches for us over the years. This was the fourth find of the day - I've only cached down this road once before so it was nice to re-visit. Especially this cache which I DNFed in May last year (and the cache had disappeared). This time it was a fairly quick find which I was happy with !

Thanks again ozpirate !! 2nd time lucky again !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Tftc

Was quiet as a house. Tftc

This was our second attempt to find this one, and it proved quite difficult. That's because it was lying on the ground, covered with leaf litter and debris from the nearby tree and it was only luck that enabled us to see it. We noted that the last log entry was from March 21st.
We have replaced the cache where we believe it was originally hidden, with reference to the GPS coords, the difficulty rating on the hide, and the hint. Could the CO please check it out to make sure it's been placed correctly.
TFTC

Unfortunately, another DNF for the morning. We looked around the general GZ area with the correct idea of where it would be, but it couldn't be spotted. Maybe we are just a little bit blind today. Love the idea of the nearby archery range though.

[:(!] Went for a weekend caching run, left Wagga about 5.30am and did a circuit through Adelong, Tumut and Gundagai arriving back at Wagga about 6.30pm the following day and breaking the journey by spending the night in Tumut, an early start for the second day, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

3157. A quick stop over on my 10.5 hour journey west. Another nice little stop over in this pretty part of the world.
With a very cooperative GPSr, a quick find and an unassisted retrieval, I was soon on the road to the next one.
TFTC.

Done

Didn't find the hint helpful on this as there were several trees it could have been, although the one I thought matched the name was furthest from the coords by our gps. We looked for several minutes then moved on.
