Had a good hunt around. Looks like the remains of shattered plastic in what I assume would be the right place :/
Not able to find this one. PAF didn't help either. Due to several DNFs and write notes, the CO might need to check this one out.

Below is a blurb about us
We are trying to get a badge ,the author ,from project GC for writing found log files of 100 words or more. Once we get this badge we will stop writing this. We are also trying to get badges for adding photos to our found logs .
We started caching in December 2019 and by January 2020 we were hooked. As we are on the road full-time, living in a caravan, caching fits in well with this lifestyle. It is taking us to places that we would normally not have gone. When we move to a new place we also look at what caches are in the area and how many days we will need to be there in order to get the caches we want.
Trackables that we have with us today are:
Son of red
Rhodes travel Tong
Stanley the bushman
Travelling teddy
Where are my keys
Ducincs Viking ship
Miss Jenn lackey tag 11
TB challenge worldwide traveller
Scrabble tile
Kevin the trainee drop bear
3 million geocaches tag
Cohete Rocket

Thank goodness for a good quick find. We left home at designated time of 2pm after a very hectic morning, and week, and after setting up camp proceeded to grab a couple of caches. This was the final one , without a view thanks to the cloud, and have now retired to the van with a wine. TFTC

Day 3 of our trip, starting in Gundagai, we managed to pick up the last of the local caches we hadn't found in the past, with some great ones among them too. After 9 caches here it was time to head across to Canberra for the weekend.
We missed this a few years ago, and I'll admit, I think we were checking right over the top of it too.... no problems today - took a few seconds. TFTC!

Found -- 5:29pm -- Thanks for bringing us to this location and Thanks for the hunt *Roostaman*.
**Cache Condition:** Good.
**Took:**
**Left:**
**Trackables:**
**The Cache**
Not such a quick find till *Little Panther* came along and pounced. Signed the log sequentially with our caching names or some scrambled form of *TOC, DJJ, LP* or on a vacant spot elsewhere in the log, and then returned cache to its hide'y hole exactly as found.
The freeway is so quiet on the south side of the Federal Highway at Goulburn, unlike the north side which is slowly getting busier and busier. I need to move south !!

This cache was a bit of a bonus today. We had 500 kms to travel and were only picking up GCA caches along the way. Couldn't get parking the way we were heading for one of them and then noticed the sign for the lookout so decided to go check it out and have breakfast there. Mr Beetle went and found it while I organised the food.
Glad we detoured here as there were great views. Mr Beetle made a new friend while we were here - Patch the calf!!!
Thanks.

A blustery day but always nice views. A quick find at gz with a familiar object. Tftc
Had my meeting in town and then a quick tour of a few spots for a potential work project (including down some new roads and past some caches that I will have to revisit) and then a quick lunch before heading back to Albury. However, had a little time to find a few more caches in town (though not all of them - need an excuse to keep breaking trips up in town).
Last one for the day - parked at the main parking spot and wandered to GZ to have a look. Thought I had a potential spot and looked down and there it was - not what I was expecting at this location. Log signed, QR Code scanned - interested in what that is about, and then on my way back down the Hume to Albury.

My 9yo found this one. We probably wouldn't have come up here but for the cache, so thanks for bringing us here. It was an easy find too.
I was on my way to Albury from Gosford area with my wife. I did not have this cache on my GPSr so I thought I would use the Geocaching app on my iPad. I was suprised how well it worked and it was an easy find. Thanks for this one. Great view. A good hide.
Found on the way home from the Mega event. Thanks for the cache. Clever use of one of these hides.
Found this cache on the trip North from Melbourne for the Mega in Canberra
The road is an easy drive with many rest stops.

Suscoe was heading north today.
A very early start before the sun was up.
We made good time travelling up the Hume.
Thanks to ozpirate for this hide, a nice view from up here too.

After quite some time searching, and even more time researching through descriptions and recent activities, we had no luck finding this camouflaged cache. The comments did say it was tricky!
A quick find relying on the hint. A great view from the top of the hill. TFTC
After seeing an event pop up at Jugiong, fitzy_1965 and I decided to camp at Oura Beach and hold our own event the next day. We headed off early Saturday morning with three of my geo-kids, Lovetherabbitohs, death_killer & my_name_jeff_1. Most logs were signed as MK, F65 & geokids.
After the Jugiong event, we head towards Oura. Detoured into Gundagai along the way for a few more caches that I didn't have. Quick park and grab here today.....along with the wonderful views.

We drove up here just before the storm broke, found the cache quickly and watched the rain come in from the south.
Thanks for the hide ozpirate.

Very quick find before admiring the view. TFTC wouldn’t know about the lookout if we weren’t geocachers.
Took a little while but soon had it in hand. Found in a SE direction from where our Phone had us about 30mtrs away and GPS had us 22 mtrs away from supposed GZ. Cache OK and views over Gundagai and surrounding area are fabulouse
Easy find after parking near picnic table, watch out fot the swooping collingwood supporters
#3299 We made our way up the hill after dinner at a nearby pub. Amazing hospitality at the pub providing us with a free dinner of pig on the spit and salads as the restaurant was closed. It was delish! The beer was cold cold too!
We came up here to enjoy the lights of Gundagai in the dark. Using our geophone torches we had soon tracked down the cache container. TFTC ozpirate. Looks like the locals have a bit of fun on the road up judging by the amount of tyre marks!

VERY foggy day and driving up the hill was rather slow. But got to the top and despite all the fog (and ice....in the late afternoon mind you), found the cache.
No view from here today, but a cache made up for it.

Headed back to Canberra after a lovely weekend break with Genghicat.
There was no view today with hill tops shrouded in snow cloud. There was actually ice lying around under the trees.
The cache however was quickly located, still very much visable in the gloom. We had a quick ice fight then on we drove.
All good with cache.

Nice quick find with Geo-kid and showing Nan & Pop what a geocache is Beautiful day for a drive!
Visiting from Perth. Had to wait for sightseers to go before making the retrieval. Thanks for the cache.
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.
Dsd had this one already but made the drive for me today. Great views but just love the old bridges and get another look at them from above instead of below from here. Cache could do with a bit of love. Dry today but blended ink spread across the paper and without a bag or waterproof paper the next rain is going to mess this up again. Was able to sign today though, thanks for the cache ozpirate!

A nice lookout and a quick find. A better lookout than the one in Gundagai. TFTC.
Down for the weekend in Goulburn, so we ventured out to Gundagai to visit the Dog on the tuckerbox and for find a few caches along the way. Thanks for bring us here and for the caches. Found with Team lewin.
Wow. We drove to gundagai for the virtual cache there and decided to spend a few hours in town itself. Didn't disappoint. All finds where with aussieben and the geo son! Special thanks to all COs including farmers five. Loved our tour of gundagai!
Beautiful views.
Beautiful views.
We are staying nearby in a van park down by the river and stopped here to locate the cache. TFTC
Have been on the road for almost 6 hours so might make this one my last for the day. Well worth the effort - how strange there aren't any guard-rails near the top. This one didn't fool me this time - thanks for bringing me here.
Another brilliant view of the area! And a favourite point given for bringing us here, on our way to the Alexandra Mega, thank you We have bypassed Gundagai so many times and only stopped here this time because there was free camping available (and caches). We've missed out on a Lot! It’s a beautiful place with loads of history, much more than just “the dog on the tuckerbox”. Well worth the visit. TFTC
On our way home from Sydney but stopped here nine days ago on the way up to Sydney.
Tried to find this cache some years ago but it was missing so back up to the lookout this morning, a short wander and then the container was in hand, so with log signed it was time to hit the Hume again.
Thanks ozpirate for placing this guy.

Watch out for the marauding maggie here! I had to duck for cover, then I went on the attack with some sticks and rocks, not that it stopped it!
Oh, the cache was a simple find.

After the Australia 3-day orienteering champs in Wagg Wagga, I cached my way back to Canberra. Quickly found. TFTC.

Day 2 of our caching long weekend. This was a fairly simple find made harder by the number of muggles using the area as a spot for a meal break. Mrs Big Dad took plenty of photos while I located the cache and signed the log. TFTC, ozpirate.
Another good find while driving / walking around the area today.
Had a great time going from cache to cache.
Thanks for the fun!
