Reperio 12:15Day 1 of my little escapade towards Albury for the weekend, and after spending the night at Bowral, it was on to Tumbarumba this evening. On a drizzly day, it was nice to get out and find a few roadside caches, and this one was soon located and signed.Gratias ozpirateAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV
My first solo caching trip. A long one down the entire length of the Sturt Highway. TFTC
Heading back to ACT after a 3 week trip deep into SA as far as the flinders ranges. A quick find at mymms farm, the cache was hanging directly in front of me. Tftc
On our way to Sydney to begin our holiday cruise to Vanuatu. Went via Wagga as we needed to pick something up. Nice area around here, Mymms farm looks like an interesting place to visit TFTC!
Luckily I spotted this from afar as my GPS was a bit bouncy today. Interesting description! We didn't see the screwmachine museum today. Tftc
As others have said, looked in the obvious places but it was the log that said they could see it while waiting in the car that gave me the biggest tip.
After looking for some time I finally spotted it and had a little laugh and was surprised I didn’t find it sooner. Thank you so much
Found It!
Stopped here while passing by and after a bit of searching I found the cache!

Heading to from Sydney to Wagga today. A daily quick find here when I looked in the correct place. Haha!
A trip to check out some of the awesome places in NSW and grab some old caches. TFTC.
Nice quickish find.

#16367 - 10:44:00 AM; Heading off with the geohoney for an overnight stay in Mildura enroute to South Australia and stopped off for a few caches along the way, including this one. Just as we pulled over a car emerged from the gate near GZ, so we sat tight until it had moved on and out of sight along the highway. Spotted the cache while we waited, which made for a quick signing once the coast was clear. TFTC ozpirate
**Found whilst en route to Corowa from Wagga**
After saying ciao to The Empire, Happy Feet and Happy Pants *and* after grabbing a coffee, I headed out to grab a few caches as I make the long way back to Corowa.
It was great to be back in Wagga. First time I have visited since I served here in the late '80s in the Royal Australian Air Force. It certainly has changed A good time was had by all these couple of days with good memories made and many laughs had.
A nice quick find was made here. Thanks for the cache ozpirate and for highlighting the area. Appreciate your efforts.

###**CACHE OWNER PLEASE NOTE**###
----------
This cache would seem to have had some welcomed action on behalf of the CO by a Good Samaritan - 'wazza9' & 'Nana Nel', so it fortunately lives for another day.
Please remember that cache maintenance arrangements need to be proactive, not reactive. This means regular visits (by the CO) to check on the cache and not relying on or expect passing seekers to fix issues or replace missing caches.
Even though a Good Samaritan has addressed the issue, there is still a need to remove the "Needs Maintenance" attribute - see here: [**Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon.**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and then Enable the cache - see this link: [**Temporarily Disable and Enable**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) .
**I have removed the NM attribute and Enabled the cache for you on this occasion.**

TFTC,
Time to head west towards the Murray for a weeks golf.
What is going on here. Should cachers with 28 finds be allowed to put a NM without a DNF or Write Note first. All I needed was a pair of tweezers to get the log out. It was full so I straightened the paper out and added a new sheet. Might be a bit tight now so the next finder might select to remove the old logs.
Let's hope the Reviewers consider this and let the cache continue.

Quick find after leaving our stay at Gunning. Surprised that it had a NM for a full log. Stamped log and replaced a new log sheet. Thanks to ozpirate
A quick stop and find off the highway.

Hi there ozpirate,
It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.
**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**
#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-
- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.
- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**
- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.
Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.
**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

TFTC. Needs some maintenance. The log book is pretty damaged we didn't take it out
Found it . Talked to the friendly farm owner he didn’t even know there is a treasure hidden here.
Needed a quick break on my way to visit the parents for a day trip. Nice quick find TFTC.
#5741.
I made a quick stop here on my way to Wagga for a day of training. I searched in the wrong place first and fund the two big dead huntsman spiders. I then had a look at the GPS again and saw that I had to move a couple of meters. Then the cache was quickly found. TFTC!

With another day free, I decided on heading out to collect more caches and hopefully receive another souvenir from the current promotion. I decided on doing the loop that goes: Wagga to Kyeamba to Tarcutta and back to Wagga via Borambola. Out a possible 26 finds, I found 24 of them. It was a nice drive along the country roads and I visited many places I wouldn’t have visited otherwise. The trip from Wagga to Kyeamba had a couple of GCA finds and the first half of the W2T/T2W trail created by Roostaman. The next bit of the trip (Kyeamba to Tarcutta) were a lot of park and grabs along the highway. After a nice lunch, at ‘Joes Café’ in Tarcutta, it was time for the final part of the trip was around the back roads of Borambola and finishing with WWBridge#6. This means I only have the final cache in the Wagga bridge series to go. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s for placing and maintaining the caches I found and allowing them to bring enjoyment to me and others. TFTC’s
Today’s Totals:
20 GC Finds
4 GCA Finds
2 DNF
This one took a while as there were so many muggles passing by. I eventually found it. TFTC

Found with nissan 65 on a few days away. Very dry out here. Thankyou for the cache. .
DNF for this one, on our second day on the way to Tasmania. Looked every where in and around the letterbox feeling self concious as letterboxes are private and only for the post man to leave mail, so the rating seems wrong. ozpirate.

Tftc. Nice to turn our frown upside down. Widened our search from the obvious after reading some logs.
Passing. Y on my way from Sydney to Wagga! Great spot for a cache and time to stretch the legs. SL TFTC!!
I too looked in the obvious spot and in and under the obvious spot. Then I followed the arrow when I decided to look at the arrow. Cache found!. I did not pass gas.
Found on a fun loop to the Nation's Capital and back. A stop here added to the enjoyment - this one had been targeted for a while so it was great to stop the dot burning my screen.
Thanks to ozpirate and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Charlicorn and I went on a 12-day, 3808km roadtrip from the Southern Highlands of NSW to Gawler in SA and back, to attend the Inline Hockey National Championships representing NSW. This was all new territory for us so of course quite a bit of geocaching happened along the way and at the various places we visited, although hockey commitments and the physical demands of competition meant it wasn't a high numbers mission. Instead we focused on specific caches such as Earthcaches, highly-favourited ones, long-unfound ones and those which ticked off boxes in my stats. But we picked up plenty of caches we just happened to wander past as well. All up a very successful geomission and, returning with bronze medal in hand, not too bad from a hockey perspective either.
We didn't do any caching until we were well out of our home territory, instead prioritising time and distance as we had 10 hours and 900+km to cover on this first day. So, this cache was the first find our of roadtrip. It was a quick find after widening our search from the obvious object. There's a large huntsman resident in that object, btw! But the cache was easily found a safe distance away. TFTC!

This wasn't the quickest of finds despite being a difficulty 1 which means it's immediately obvious where it's hidden. After examining the wrong area for a bit, I extended the search and then spotted it. TFTC.
Another day of cachng with only one find and as it turned out the last of a steak.
Thanks ozpirate for placing this cache for us to find.

Found It! Every time we pass here it seams to be to dark to stop. Today we finally passed here in daylight. I had my thought of where it would be and again I was wrong. I did find it again, sign log, take a snap shot and on our way.
Feeling very pleased with ourselves. Cache located and duly signed! It’s there! Trust your Coords. They were spot on. Off to Adelong Falls now for a picnic!
It was not at the spot as we thougt. But Mrs Simpsonfamily15 Gps showed us the right place Thank you from the german explorer turtle
We are bag in Tumut again for another short visit to family and today we are on our way to Wagga with grandson Bill for his swimming lesson. This was one of the few remaining caches on the way there that we have not looked for before. A quick find in a logical spot. Unfortunately Bill had fallen asleep so he missed out on finding the treasure. We’re sure there’ll be more once we get to Wagga.

I joined forces with J+J for a caching road trip down to SA. We got up early and covered 950km by road on the first day. While I only found 28 caches today, it was mainly due to the large distances between caches.
Tomorrow the hard caching starts!
Thanks for the cache.

One of many caches along my 5 week, 5,000km trip to the Red Centrre event, then out to Kings Canyon and Uluru, trekking in my Trakka! Apologies in advance for the generic logs, but there are a few!
Many thanks to all the CO's for making the journey so interesting!

Heading north to Sydney and grabbed a few caches along the way to break the trip up and this was one of them.
After parking nearby the cache was soon found and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” *Throsbyonchurch* and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.
Found it thank you for the hide. Just completed half the RGGT series and have to head four hours home. Found this on our way. Love the nearby letterbox.
Found it . -- 5:12 PM -- SL TNLN TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here.
Amazed !! Barely saw any find numbers in the 600's we have ripped through them incredibly quickly this month.
Travelled 4hrs to attend two events in Junee at the Monte Cristo and the Licorice Factory. Completed the first half of this series as we had to head home a day early due to a couple of factors, one being the threat of the Murrumbidgee flooding which caused us to lose our pre-booked accommodation for the weekend. We hoped for a good find of caches while down here and were not disappointed considering the factors. Love the nearby letterbox ... cool.
*** NO trackables found in this cache ***

I like these containers! All was snug and dry and soon signed. The placement is cheeky and a little different to some similar ones I've found. GPS reading was a bit misleading today, very overcast afternoon. Thanks for an enjoyable find.
It was only when we looked at the area from a different direction that this cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks ozpirate for the cache.
