The Lazy Bushwalker Warialda, New South Wales, Australia
By 3 Lost Girls on 04-May-13. Waypoint GC4BB7G

A good-sized cache. Always happy when its not a micro in the bush!We spent most of yesterday afternoon lazing in the thermal pools at Moree, which seemed to do us some good, but was most relaxing at least.Today it was time to move on though as we traveled from Moree to Inverell via a longish stop in Warialda where we picked up a number of caches. Inverell is where Mrs SKI's long past relatives used to live. Its a grand old town, with lots of impressive buildings from past times that seemed to be well-loved and maintained. We enjoyed walking round town just admiring them although things were very quiet it being a Saturday afternoon.A few quality hides were found today so we look forward to exploring more tomorrow.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache 3 Lost Girls.**SKI Pair****

On a day trip to collect couple of geocaches! Thanks

TFTC nice quick find, however grass really long at the moment, there is no pathway

Loved this one ??

Grabbed this cache while my wife checked out the information center Dropped off a travel bug Sl thanks for the cache

After spending a couple of weeks in Canberra attending the Mega Event it was time to head back to Brisbane. We have a few weeks to travel so we are meandering up through country NSW. We are finding the odd cache here and there were we have room to pull over with the caravan.We stopped at the nearby rest area and had a look around at the old machinery. Before we left we wandered up and found the cache. Not much of a track to follow as it's very overgrown so we just followed the arrow on the GPS. TFTC

Infrastructure mini rocks Next to small dead tree

Bit of bush trekking but got there in the end. Tftc.

Comfort stop in Apex Park. Bonus of a nearby cache. TFTC

Magpie guarding it atm. But am umbrella meant I could get it. Thanks

Find number 9823

A short walk to grab this one on a chilly morning cache all good

Thanks 3 Lost Girls for placing this cache GC4BB7G

Quick find coke this morning TFTC

ading west from Inverell today, aiming to get to Walgett tonight by a slightly circuitous route to pick up some caches.

A straightforward find once we had bush bashed our way to GZ from the closest access point. It's always fun to find an ammo can ... seems to be fewer of them around these days ... so thanks to the lost girls for going to the effort to do so.

We ummed and ahhed about Wether to do another cache as we passed through town but the promise of a classic style regular stash box enticed us to come here and hunt. As it happens, finding our way through the long grass took longer than finding the stash but soon enough we discovered a cacher trail leading us straight to Ground Zero.
My thanks go to the cache hider 3 lost girls for getting us here and for placing a great container. Cheers.

Love this type of cache too

Quick visit to Warialda with searchingformacca and grabbing a few caches along the way. This one was a quick find. TFTC

Cool cache

Always nice to see this kind of container, you don’t see many of those now days. The neighbours dog didn’t stop barking the whole time we were here and the grass was pretty long but after a brief search we made the find. Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl

Snuck in from a nearby road to find this one but I also found millions of Cobblers Pegs which took me AGES to get out of my tracksuit pants. Bugger !!!! But thaknks anyhow for the cache.

Found on our trip on the Big Island

After a short scramble through long grass and hidden rocks along with the occasional log I found the cache, I has been some time since I have came accros one of these container. It was nice to see. TFTC.

On my way back home from a mega in Rutherglen we stopped here for the cache and signed the log. Tftc 3 Lost Girls
A fav point from me

I am travelling with TBU2Uwe001 from the MEGA EASTER 2023 towards home, stopping for sightseeing and caches.

We found this cache and signed the log.

Tftc 3 Lost Girls

We probably took the less lazy path to this one. Nice to see one of these again. Thanks 3 Lost Girls.

A trip to check out some of the awesome places in NSW and grab some old caches. TFTC.
It's becoming a hot day at 36 degrees. Nice for a bit of shade. A great pile of rocks. Quick find. Great cache size.

So many large rocks! TfTC

TFTC nice walking Charles, a follow on a sunny day

Quick and easy find

First find in quite a while! Easy find. Thanks

Quite an easy find after a short search. Cache is in good condition. Signed and replaced. Thanks 3 Lost Girls for placing the cache.

TFTC. Found but ridiculously forgot a pen. Photo evidence

Thought we would stay in Warialda for a couple of nights, ride out the forecast wet weather, and grab some caching action on our way home to TAS after 10 weeks on the road. After settling in to our digs, this was a short walk away combined with a stroll down some of the nearby streets. Thanks 3 Lost Girls. There's no way this cache will get lost !

11134. Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1350 on a visit to Warialda for the day. Now we are exploring the village and surrounds. Lots of variation with the hides.SL Tnx 3 Lost Girls

Haven't seen one of these for a while TFTC

Loved my caching day in Warialda thank you

Found it

Spent the night in Warialda after driving from Coonabarabran to Narrabri, lunch at Sawn Rocks in Mt Kaputar. Found on morning walk. TFTC

Very good quick find

Impulse stop and not dressed for rock clambering! Dress was covered in tiny spikes afterwards! Thanks for the wee adventure. No pen so didn't sign the log.

Slowly making our way to Broken Hill and Silverton trying to avoid Covid and the localised flooding around the country.

We decided to head out and find some caches whilst staying at Warialda.

Lazy Bushwalkers read the hint and noticed the type and size of the geocache, went wandering through the bush, doh - without a pen, cos these big ones always have a scribble stick - but not this one, here is a photo to show we found your geocache at GZ ))

Tftc 3 Lost Girls, we have enjoyed our morning , thanks for the tour.

This was a bit tricky to find with the long grass and soft ground. Great walking spot. TFTC

After being in Canberra for 10 days it was time to return home. Last day of the return trip (Home this afternoon) aiming to pick up a few counties for challenges with RoddyC and team benders.

Don't know about Lazy. It was more like lost. With the GPS not able to settle amongst the granite it was a round and ŕound and round tracking to find it.


TFTCache 3 Lost Girls

This cache took a while to find because granite interferes with compass. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks 3 Lost Girls. All good with this cache.

On a trip with teamMerlin and TARDIS 0061 into regional NSW a lot of kms were covered in a few days. Today we got to 13 caches found and a number of LGAs hadn't been to before

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache 3 Lost Girls

Full log to follow

GreyHams and myself have been targeting counties for some time now and this trip was to be the last of the NSW counties... It would see ALL NSW counties complete!

It sure has taken us through some amazing places in the state as we journeyed through all of the counties, this trip would see the last 23 counties needed of the 129. One again we saw a lot of variety over the four days from the scenic coast, lush green country side, rainforest, mountains and out west to a much drier and flatter landscape.

Counties were our priority for this trip, and an abundance of larges also made the select list, Virtuals, types, old ones, interesting ones and of course DT, if your cache made this list it had a quality that was needed... we also managed a surprise FTF along the way as well!

It wouldn't be a trip without the ladder, or the esky... and good old Qantas happily checked them in with our bags!

Day 1 saw us flying into Ballina, driving North up through Byron, a beautiful part of the coastline where shirts and shoes are optional! After a dash up a hill, it was along the beach to the most easterly cache of Australia, a clamber up the side of the headland for an earthcache and time for a virtual. Driving north to Mooball for our most northerly county and then back down and across to Tenterfield, arriving after a surprise FTF and a long winding drive through the hills where we stopped for the night. Chose our hotel for the man sleeping on the sign, and as advertised, the best beds, and indeed I did sleep as well... the quietest hotel in town where everyone was sleeping and the lady working there the loveliest... and the best Pizza we will ever taste in town!

Day 2 we left Tenterfield with a wave of a local horseman and made our way west to Moree before dropping down and driving to Tamworth for the night. Some unexpected locations along the way had us saying 'there has to be an earth cache on that!' and indeed dropping out of our lists there was and a few extra locations stopped at and enjoyed.

Day 3 was the trip from Tamworth, up to Armidale and back down again to drive across to Port Macquarie before starting our way north to stop in Kempsey. Some interesting caches and tracks, and the good little SUV was the toughest and most reliable of them all for some of the tracks that were lost in the highest of grass and the pollen of the grass seeds that left clouds in the sky as we passed. A trail of challenge caches tested the little car some more and GreyHams navigated us through with ease. The ladder had a work out and some great caches collected for the day with it.

Day 4 we left Kempsey with the plan of driving back to Ballina for our planes back home. Some newer larges had us down some more bumpy wet tracks, some a little more than we could navigate so a short walk to finish. Very tropical with the mountains, even banana trees and so much sugar cane too. A kayak for great DT was indeed a great addition. Also our down fall as the drive was long, the roadworks a plenty and our plane due, it was a rush and many cache changes to ones along the hwy as we raced north for our plane. Just 15 minutes late and watched as everyone else boarded but us. Getting home wasn't so simple, we got to plan 'F' and a journey of planes, trains and automobiles to get us home, but what a great trip!!!!

GreyHams was as always a great companion, driver, navigator, cache finder, planner, ladder carrier, disaster management solver on another very enjoyable trip, NSW counties complete... go team!!! Looking forward to the next adventure!

CACHE DETAILS: Loved this cache, so many would agree and understand this totally! It's 35°C today and that's a bit warm really for any bushwalk. Parked 30m away and we made our bushwalk in. It's a location worthy of any bushwalk and an ammo can, best type!

Now this is my style of bushwalk... I can do the longer kind, but fnding an ammo can under rocks is awesome!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh what a trip! We finally bit off more than we could chew but it still somehow managed to end well!

Aquilus1 and myself have been striving on a mission for some time now... to get ALL the counties in NSW. We did the hard ones early actually, via two trips flying to Adelaide and driving to Sydney/Melbourne respectively. The previous trip was a simple Newcastle loop, so....finally the time had come....six months overdue because of Covid lockdowns to complete the last loop: Armidale/Ballina.

Of course, its not just about the counties, we crammed in a bunch of larges, DT, virtuals and even a Wherigo.

Day -30: Qantas screw us over and cancel our Armidale flight.... so a frenzied replan and Qantas agree to fly us to Ballina instead....bonus is that the car hire from Ballina comes with UNLIMITED km's.... this is great as we knew we would exceed the max by about 1200km...not cheap!

Day 1: We fly into Ballina, marvel at the super crap roads and all the people not working, but exercising, without shirts, in and around Byron. So glad my tax dollars support these people! After driving north to scary cow country we went west and made it as far as Tenterfield, but not before we got an amazing surprise FTF on a challenge cache in Casino....happy days! Yet another crazy late night pizza guy, and a lovely motel manager who had the BEST beds in NSW greeted us.

Day 2: Tenterfield to Tamworth, the long way, via Moree. Long drive through windmill country with some amazing walks for oldies and great views of cool mountains.....we said to ourselves "wow, look at that, there should be an Earthcache here that we could log fro the road".... and there WAS!!! We repeated this trick on day 3 as well. Got to love that. Outside Moree we found piles of various grains at the rest stop.... I wonder what that was about.

Day 3: Tamworth to Kempsey, we saw Armidale on Sunday... so quiet, but a great Virtual and a ridiculous journey through head high grass....for someone with allergies this was nuts! We managed a tricky challenge cache series and a multi that required Aquilus1 to go crazy high on a tree.... that ladder was well worth it yet again!

Day 4: More larges and then a great paddle for some great DT. The water at Stuarts Point was so nice, we kept going and going.....which in hindsight maybe wasnt the best idea, but we knew how far we had to get, and how much time we had.... the windy roads then roadworks however messed those plans up. 15 minutes late, watching them start to load the plane we werent on just sucked.... but, the HJ's (and our desperation) fueled the many new plans until Plan 'F', for fabulous, came to fruition.

We made it home, a little later than expected with slightly grumpier partners than ideal.... but we made it! Planes, trains & automobiles in the end..... so glad we didnt have to walk from Goulburn!

Travelling east from artesian country picking up a few caches along the way. I’ve cached at Warialda before, just finding the ones which I didn’t do last time. Drove 30m away from cache so turned into a lazy bush walker. Tftc

Delighted to say we found this cache today while visiting Warialda. Co ords worked well for us and we were pleased to find an original trusty geocache container all in good condition. Thanks for another of your great geocaches The 3 Lost Girls. You have some great caches enhancing geocacher’s visits to the area.
Cheers and happy caching!

Nice quick find tftc

Found on a hot summers day on our way to Moree. Glad it was only a short walk.

Have driven here many times and finally stopped to get the cache! Always great to see a classic like this - tftc!

Found by Mary and David at 12:40. We left home in Melbourne a week ago and caught up with daughter and family near Ipswich. Can't get used to this heat. So glad it wasn't a cache for an energetic bushwalker. Great to see such a huge container. We wish we could say it was full of water, but we can't. Our thanks to 3 Lost Girls.

Found you cache on a day trip to Warialda.

Decided to stop here in Warialda for a second day, in part to grab a few caches and because the area was so beautifully maintained. Just did the caches along the main road, will do the walking trail possibly on our return trip from the QBN Mega.

This sounded just right for an early morning cache find. Not having the right map open meant that I didn't find the end of the track to start and just parked on the nearest street access. I did make this harder than was ever intended by the CO by not finding the track till nearly at GZ but thats the fun of caching! Found the cache winking at me from its hide so I added my name to the logbook and added a little more cover when i put it back. All good here.

A detour to Inverell and Warialda as part of my big adventure. I had spent the night in Inverell and was on my way again. Now in Warialda, I headed to this cache. It was quickly located at GZ. With my name added to the logbook and the cache returned to its hiding spot, I continued on my way. TFTC

Quick easy find in the dark heading from Warialda to Pally - first geocache with newbies!- thanks for the cache

Hi there 3 Lost Girls.

We found your cache **"The Lazy Bushwalker"** today. (This makes our find count 19474).

Today we cached around Bingara and Warialda. The aim of the day was to cache along roads we haven't traveled on since we became full time grey nomads. Once we've done that we can draw another line on our wall map).

We found 15 caches today (DNF'd 4) .We 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. Thanks also for placing a large cache container here. It made us feel really glad to find a large, kid friendly cache (with swaps) here.

**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.

Easy find, but I nearly got eaten by Bull Ants . TFTC

I am on my way home from the OZ Geomuster in Morisset.
Today's geocaching adventure has taken me from Bingara to Emmaville.
This was my another stop along the way for the day.
And I continue to make my way north back to Toowoomba.
A short search before spotting this one.
Thanks for the cache.
