Reperio 14:33As we made our way from Nathalia to Orange today, we stoped by a couple of caches along the way, and this one provided a lot of entertainment for the kids. With not wanting to put hands into to many small hard to see places, they eventually spotted the cache in a much nicer but well concealed location.

Found It!
Well I wasn't expecting to find that thing here! With the help of the hint, I found the cache after a short search of the thing!

Thanks for the cache wbfoto!.. All looks to be in good condition with this one after being so long without a find. I did hear a snake wiggle under so be careful walking around i guess, Log was signed and returned to its original hiding position.
Here for harvest and thought we would have a go at some caches. Wow weren’t the mozzies bad but that vehicle is in great condition. Tftc
Today we choose to head to West Wyalong via a different road. We usually are towing a caravan and avoid some of the back roads, today we are towing a large trailer but it handles these back roads better. We had quite a laugh to ourselves as we came from the south we cut across using dirt roads only to find that from the cache to West Wyalong the road was sealed. SL TFTC
Caching in and around West Wyalong and surrounds we picked up a few caches and this was one of them.
Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

**# 23800** Found on a fine sunny day for a drive around with The Drovers.
We both had a lot to do around Temora & Wyalong, so we did.
All good safe hides and mostly quick finds. Nice countryside too.
A good hide here and luckily didn't take too long to locate.

Hi there wbfoto.
We found your cache **"Rolled to a stop"** today. (This makes our find count 19359).
We cached to the south of West Wyalong today. We didn't really have a plan, but the aim of the day was to cache along some roads we haven't traveled on since we became full time grey nomads, so we can draw another line on our map).
We found 9 caches today (DNF'd 0) & thoroughly enjoyed our cache raid. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
***Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Took a while to find the road to this one - do the owners know it is there? This is a famous Malleefowl property. Thanks for a nice cache on a cool night
14435. Headed out with my harem of Caching Wenches - including new recruit minniek - which we now know as Charlie's Angels - on a short 1000km+ journey around the region.
Glorious weather and great company led to a fantastic day of fun, laughs, tall stories, future runs planned, and lots of finds !
This was the next find for the day. Quick-ish find at GZ by yours-truely ! Log signed, cache replaced, and we headed off to the next one.
Our thanks to all the COs for the great caches today !

A short 1000km round trip out to West Wyalong and back with fitzy_1965, AngelG27 & specimenX. This was hopefully the last test for my probation to officially head out with the gang on future geomissions as a fully fledged 'caching wench' We signed all logs as Charlie's Angels today. Had many stories and laughs along the way.
Had us all looking for a while then fitzy came up with the sneaky find.

Time for a geomission! So "Charlie's Angels" AKA Fitzy_1965, AngelG27, minniek and myself headed off to the South West Slopes to clean up some country caches Lots of laughs, great company and weather made for an awesome day of quality caching!
Haha! This one was cool! We examined a lot of nooks and crannys before Fitzy uncovered the hide. I didn't expect those to open!
Thanks for the hide, wbfoto Giving this one a fave!

Cache 2711 on 5/8/17
Decided to head out West for a few geocaches with Fitzy_1965, SpecimenX and Minniek. Fitzy has found so many caches close to Canberra that we needed to travel quite a way west! So we added about 1000kms, 50 caches and only a couple of minor scratches to our tally for the day. Definitely will have to head back and fill in some gaps! A fun day with lots of caching talk and wild geomissions planned. Signed as Charlie's Angels . Unless otherwise noted, the caches were all found quickly and in line with the hints.
A fun find for number 24 of the day. Lots of interpretations of the hint!
Thanks wbfoto for the cache!

Took a while to find this cache as there sure were plenty of spots to hide a cache - the hint was helpful. Good planning and implementation that we will give you a fav for placing it.

TFTC. Grabbing the last one for 2016. Awesome cache finding the ones on the back roads not normally traveled. Last caching day of 2016. TB's stopped by for a visit.
Tenting at Temora ...
Further along the backroads and one's eye catches a distinctive GZ ... This is interesting, and a few minutes to view overall before the seek. Narrowed down the options and with head within viewing the radiator and nothing to sight, there was a rumble roadside as a large semi rolled down the hill blinker on to turn in. Unfortunately, the 'mushroom being a city lad, it was for a dash back to the GeoReindeer parked in gateway entrance. A quick reverse, and maybe time to depart. A DNF, but as the only one for this cache I will put on watch. Thanks for the countryside tour wbfoto.

Found by Mary & David at 1623. We rolled to a stop too, and didn't take too long to locate the prize. A FP for this unique piece of machinery and its added custom "accessories". The mud suggests that it's going nowhere fast. Our thanks to wbfoto.
Kids really enjoyed this cache. My nephews first trip out and his first find. Interesting piece off machinery.....TFTC
Clever hiding spot and not hard to find in the end and definitely a favourite point from me! Out with swimmagurl today. Tftc
I rolled to,a stop near this one. I peered and poked carefully, looked into dark and spidery places with no joy. Second time round, almost there when I looked a little more carefully and there it was. Thankfully signed log and departed TFTC wbfoto
Took out my cousins for a first time cache trip. Quick pick up after school and we were on our way. Previous log helped me. Really liked this one. Tftc. With Lachstein
I have seen a lot of bits of old machinery sitting next to the roadsides outside farms.
But this item is definitely a bit different to your average plough, or tractor
I wandered around for a look and kicked the tyres ... ow !! Don't kick the tyres
It took a while to figure out where the cache was, but one figured out, it was an open and shut case

With a few days spare before a drive trip I decided another western NSW trip was in order to go and get a few caches I had to skip last year between Canberra and West Wyalong. After a great night in a local hotel I was up and ready to do the last caches on my lest and head home. This piece of equipment does not look like it has much life left to give.
Thanks.

Great location.. defeated by the machine and the oncoming weather.. we will return!
[:(!] What better way of filling in a day, is to do a caching run and this was one of them, 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.

3122. Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 0945. We left home early to make the trip to West Wyalong via this cache that for some reason we didn't stop to find last time we came this way. Yes a most interesting way to hang your property sign, definately stands out. it was starting to get hot enough for the hint to start working. SL Tnx wbfoto
Found on the trip home from Tocumwal to the Gold Coast. The trip was over two days duration, stopping overnight at Coonabarabran. Not a huge amount of finds, mainly due to the heat, topping 48°C at one stage near Moree. The highlight, 5 FTF's in Wyalong West, a very lucky happenstance.
Thanks to all cache hiders for hiding and maintaining their caches. Once again, great to break up the trip with some cache stops.

Some dirt road driving, to get to this one, and a nice surprise at GZ. Kids had a bit of a climb, and the cache was found. TFTC.

We must be taking the same track as peeps from barmed to wargin then Yiddah a great loop and very enjoyable drive
Took us a while to find this one weren't sure if we should search too hard but persistence payed off
Got some funny looks from people turning up lane and thought we were in trouble but they kept driving lucky as we thought we were on private property

I was thinking that this might be an easy cache to find. Then we turned up at GZ, and it was machinery. Now, machinery and Mufftop101 don't mix. Especially when the clue is something about water and boiling. Isn't that what petrol station attendants are for? Was it in the back or front? Thanks to Spock's knowledge of such things, the cache was soon in hand. Thanks wbfoto. Enjoyed!
And roll to stop we did....
An interesting piece of equipment and after a short search wing6rider came up the goods.
Now off further down the road. Thanks again wbfoto

Had a great time exploring the various cavities of the item then came up with the cleverly place cache! Thanks we loved the name wbfoto!
Found at 3:20PM on the 22nd of April by Ray and Maya as we travel to Gosford via the inland route. We are staying in West Wyalong for the night and enjoying the last hours of daylight finding the caches in the area. Interesting place for a hide. TNLN. TFTC. The Nomads.
We had a bit of trouble finding this one, but found it just as we were about to give up.
