Great find Lucky I had my husband with me as hes great with numbers and Im a bit too short

Took a recalculation but we found it

Our first one before enjoying a nice lunch in the nearby cafe and completing the crops series on the way to Coolamon. A nice straightforward multi to start with despite a mini own goal which threw us to start with. All good in the end and a fav awarded for the local history which we were not familiar with. TFTC The Drovers

With lots of help from the CO who put us straight about the calculations, we managed to find this one. Many thanks for the cache and the Help.

Geochecker wouldnt approve our calcs - interesting story, however. Followed the coords we had, but the location didnt look promising.

A lovely stay was had at the local pub so friendly there! Took me a second go to get the correct coords, quickly realised my mistake and made the find on a blustery morning wishing Id donned more suitable attire

Stopped to get a new NSW LGA for me. Trying to get my multi count up to 25 in NSW. solved and found with Mogni.Found with Mogni. Myself and mogni are headed off to canberra on the " I missed the Capital GeoBash Mega " holiday, since last minute family problems came in to play and we had to adjust our plans by a few weeks. On the way over we targeted multi's, wherigo's and puzzles to make sure we had 25 in each or at least close to that total ( or more ) as possible, getting as many new New South Wales LGA's as possible, the 17th most favourite point NSW cache and every cache size in New South Wales.In the ACT it was getting 2 of the 5 oldest letterboxes, oldest wherigo in Australia, 2nd oldest earthcache ( with a side trip to get the oldest earthcache of course ), and ACT oldest cache too. I also hosted a CITO and planned on getting every different cache type i could and eevry different cache size as well. I also needed 9 more virtuals this trip to get my virtual count over 100. Finally canberra was far enough away from from house to complete the well aged well travelled cacher 0 to 1000 kms with a cache every 10 km's ( i only need 7 more caches to complete )Leaving the ACT it was going via Victoria to get there last active web cam cache and slowly getting a total of 20 finds in each LGA i passed through if i had enough time plus also hosting a CITO in Victoria as well. A busy 11 days. Trust me by the end of the holiday you would have thought the 6 meter ladder weighed more than 13 kg's to amount of times it was used or carried up hills or over creeks. If your cache was found with a broken container/lid it was replaced or if the log was full it was replaced or a extra log if the container was big enough ( except for nano's, do your own maintenance on nano's.

Day 2 of mogni and sir_spectre visit the ACT. Today was a much more relaxing day, only travelled from Wagga Wagga Yass. We found abut 40 caches and 16 ad labs. Today we targetted some caches to help with challenges and high D and/or T. Lots of cache guardians were seen, the bulls made me the most nervous. Any caches that needed some attention got it.Thanks to The Drovers from mogni

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Wending our way towards Canberra for the Mega. Staying a couple of days in Wagga Wagga. Today we decided to head out and tackle the caches in the triangle. Friends, Crops and some of the streets caches. Well sure enough we were too ambitious and fell short on our lengthy list. Great weather today, with a cool start. We soon enough were over tree climbs so they became DNA (did not attempt) but as time got shorter there were a few others that had previous DNF and we skipped on past aswell, sorry, but theres only so many hours in a day. [B)]Mrs Felix gathered the info but came up short. Mr Felix had a look and went duh! Off to GZ and he found the cache where Mrs Felix well she couldnt reach. [B)]TFTC Bingley3683 (Adopted by The Drovers)

Day two of setting off north with BettyBoo3747 and geodoggies.
The weather in Beechworth has been far too damp and cold for caching!
Today we started in Wagga and ended up in Narrandera.
Not far, but a good collection of caches.

Lots of interesting information on this board.
We grabbed some coffee and sausage rolls from across the street, and settled in for a read.
Morning tea finished we did our calculations and headed off to GZ. Fortunately no one training there today.
Did I mention I hate nano's? Something a little larger could be hidden here.
Thanks, Robmc.

#21138. Day 2 of our escape into NSW. Today we travelled from Wagga to Narrandera collecting quite a few caches along the way. Here for 2 nights at Lake Talbot Caravan Park and it is a very pleasant place to stay.

What a nice little town Marrar is and what a great cafe to get coffee, honey joys and sausage rolls (just across the road). Headed there first and then made our way through the questions for the multi. We arrived at the right area but not quite right to retrieve the cache. Reworked our answers and that changed things slightly and soon Rob had the cache to hand. Not quite where our GPSr was directing us though.

Nick Winter certainly sounds like a bit of a dare devil. I wouldn't lie on the train tracks for millions, let alone 7 marbles.

Thanks The Drovers

A quick check here today, while passing.
The cache is still in place with plenty of room on the log.
Happy hunting.

We searched but it is either somewhere we couldn't reach or missing.

DNF No luck here today, too good for me. Maybe a case of cache blindness. Barb2e and I had a good search, low first then high. Cleared out a lot of cobwebs, and used a magnetic stick for the high bits but alas came up empty handed. Oh well.

Put the effort into doing the work so I will try another time.

Find # 8506
Nice quick find.

Completed in the dark searched the GZ which took a while even with the GZ lit up. But find it we did , sighed & returned to hide.

Too high for me. And not where we started given the T rating. But we are in the log.

Thankfully Mr Suelee had this in hand for me as I don’t think I would have reached it. Great history thanks for the multi

Was worried when saw previous logs that this cache had been replaced, however turned up an easy find with TW

Easy multi, easy find.

**Found whilst in Wagga for a couple of nights**

Out and about with Happy Pants, The Empire and Happy Feet after we managed to organize a couple of nights away.
It was great to be back in Wagga. First time I have visited since I served here in the late '80s. It certainly has changed
Today we were up and at 'em bright and early this morning. After the prerequisite coffee, we headed out hitting some of the trails to the North.
Thanks for the cache Bingley3683 (Adopted by The Drovers) and for highlighting the area. Appreciate your efforts. Nice little spot that was worth the visit as we toured about, many thanks for the straight forward little multi and the hide.

Found by The Empire with Snap Happy, Happy Pants & Happy Feet.
We were with 'The Crew' in Wagga Wagga for a few days of caching fun! Hitting the trails to the north this morning, we were able to negotiate the busy country farm roads and grab as many caches as we could. After finishing the first series pretty quickly, we knew we were in for a bit more of a challenge for these. Taking a break in Marrar, we were able to work this one out. We called the owner and I think it was replaced when it wasn't at GZ. Thanks for the cache Bingley3683 and The Drovers.

Worked this out while we were in town having a break from a series of power trails and after a little number crunching headed off to the gz and after a extensive search came up empty handed, the call went out to the CO and we were given the ok to place a replacement cache. Nice little spot that was worth the visit as we toured about, many thanks The Drovers for the straight forward little multi and the hide.

Good multi and found with 63ROOS.. tks

Accompanying All7, nice muilt and run series caches on way to Wagga… TFTM

Headed away for a bit of a post lockdown trip to central west NSW. My main goal for the trip was to find GC2F6F (2001 cache), but as always I couldn't drive past as if it wasn't there. This was one of the many caches I found on my road trip.

This one almost alluded me. Did the maths etc, then at GZ I was almost ready to walk away when I checked a blindspot and presto. Thank goodness
Thanks to the CO's for hiding your cache and contributing in a small way to the fun I had.

Been to Dayboro from Cairns to attend the Mega event now on the way to South Australia. 21 April 2021 11:43 am Tyfc Bingley3683 (Adopted by The Drovers) 2007 found with help from fellow caches.

Found on a trip around central New South Wales with e.gregory1. Our original plans were to travel through Bourke, Cunamulla and Toowoomba to attend the Dayboro event in Queensland and return via Port Macquarie and central NSW, but a series of events that included road closures due to flooding in southern inland Queensland, a covid outbreak in Brisbane and widespread storm damage and road closures along the north coast of NSW resulted in multiple changes of plans during the trip. As it eventuated our travels took us to central New South Wales, on a route from Broken Hill to Cobar, Nyngan, and Gunnedah from where we meandered southwards through some great scenery and historic towns that included Dunedoo, Wellington, Cowra and Yass. We then headed in a roughly westerly direction through to Temora, Wagga Wagga, Deniliquin and Swan Hill before making a final dash for home. All up we found a good mix of Traditionals, Puzzle Caches, Multicaches, Adventure Labs, Wherigos, Earthcaches, Letterbox Hybrids and Virtual Caches on a very entertaining and enjoyable trip. Thanks for the cache The Drovers!

Gotta love a multi in amongst a sea of green boxes!
An interesting life he led. I had never heard of him.
Did the research and calcs, then headed off to GZ for a quick find.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Found on a trip around inland NSW with FeatherWaite.

Our original intention was to attend the Mega event at Dayboro in Queensland, travelling up via Broken Hill, Bourke, Cunamulla and Toowoomba, then home via the NSW coast to Port Macquarie then on to Adelaide via central NSW. However, the Covid outbreak in Brisbane forced us to reconsider, particularly given that the Mega and associated events were within the area of concern and we may have had difficulty re-entering NSW to get home and then would have had to quarantine back in SA for 14 days.

The floods in the north and east of NSW also hampered our travel plans. But we were able to develop a new plan that took us on a very pleasant tour around country NSW, picking up some interesting caches along the way.

Thanks The Drovers for the cache.

Found yesterday with Geodad and
BoabTree

I attempted this multi a couple of years ago and make a complete shamozzle of it. I was in the area again staying with geodaughter Shufflehop in Junee so we had another attempt and sorted out the figures and found the cache. Woo Hoo.

Got away from the city for a break and to do some caching. Heres hoping the weather holds.
Thanks to all the CO's for placing their caches.

Completed this multi while doing the "crop" series of caches.

Tftc drovers, with some extra eyes from team Ozcat , grabbed this to start our morning

Found it with Jackez74. Our first multi together. TFTC

After finding 36 geo caches this morning, 1PhatG and I had lunch at the local cafe. Then found out first multi cache together. TFTC

Finally got it after crunching the numbers. But I sure am glad Reggie was there to lend a hand; or a long arm, anyway

For those Cache Owners unaware, Catnap777 & OZREG have formed a team under Geocache Guideline:
1.17. Merge accounts.
This allows logging of old finds under the new account with Username of TeamOZCAT.
Please contact if you have any queries.
"The truth is out there, and so are many more caches"
Cheers from Karen and Reg.

Staying in WW over weekend.
Found it after 'Friends' trails
Takes me time to get the numbers right..
a quick nudge to CO and PAF after evidence fail few times..
only one number incorrect but at the right place.
Nice quick find
Thanks The Drovers

When I was up at Ungarie a few weeks ago and I started the WWW trail I hatched a plan. I knew the rest of my family was going away for the school holidays and so I decided that I would head to Wagga for an overnight trip and try and find 100 caches in a day for the first time. At that point I had collected 50 (and then last weekend I got 54) in a single day, but triple figures was really only possible with a powertrail - and the one The Drovers had set up was worth the effort. So I took a day off work and headed up to make the attempt before everyone gets back tomorrow. Thankfully the weather was not as hot as yesterday so it was a pleasant day driving the blue road grader on the trails north of Wagga.

Up at 5:30 with the first cache at 6AM and by 4PM I had the 100 caches - in the end I got 117 (1 multi, 2 virtuals, 3 earthcaches and the rest Trads - the one solved puzzle was too busy even at 6:30AM). I saw one big Brown Snake, added a couple of birds to my annual list (including Crimson Chats near Gumly Gumly), and saw lots of Caper Whites. Also got plenty of grazes, banged both shins on logs, got a splinter under one fingernail, and suspect I will lose another after dropping a rock on an unlogged Roostaman hide. Climbed a few trees, founds some clever caches and generally had a fantastic time.

So stopped in Marrar and what did I find - a Bingley multi. A long way from the hills of Chiltern. As usual with these types I managed to make this more difficult than it should have been (glad there was a checker and I added a few red crosses there) - some is my maths, others I just make them wrong! Anyway finally got a number that was happy and so had an early lunch (the lady in the store is always so happy and friendly) and as I got back to the car realised I had retained the habit of leaving the keys in the ignition - lucky the blue road grader was still there. Drove to GZ and then the hunt began - lucky no one about as it took a while. At least 3 full circuits of the structure (including two serious whacks on the thigh from the bubbler - you think you would remember). Kept coming back to the most obvious spot and finally after multi probes I finally found the little blighter. Log signed and returned as found.
TFTC Bingley3683 and to The Drovers for keeping it alive.

Found at 10:18:00 AM with DogboyOz

Out this way for a Xmas in July party in Marrar. I targeted some specific caches for a Canberra Challenge. I wonder if you can work out what the criteria was? Went into town for a post party coffee and then wandered over to this one. A short drive later and I used my natural advantage to spot the cache and was on my way.

Thanks The Drovers

A nice Multi while doing the trails in the area, this broke up the trails for a few minutes.
Thanks for the cache.

Ah, a Bingley multi at Marrar (we see it has been adopted by The Drovers now). Best discover some things about Nick Winter in the winter of 2019! Nick had quite a few talents it seems! We used our mathematical skills to determine GZ and soon had the little sucker in hand. SL at 2.33pm #6276 We have travelled north for a day’s caching around Wagga, but also to catch up with Mrs Harrowang’s cousin, who is staying in Wagga at the moment. TFTC and the interesting information Bingley and The Drovers.

The weather was very nice today so I decided to do "the Drovers Caches" - their creative cache hides impressed me. Some were tricky but they did an excellent job. I was lucky as the CO came to my rescue.... Signed the log as EV or stamp. [^][^]

Thanks The Drovers for organising the cache and hunt [^]

Done while doing the loop in this area. Nice spot.

Wagga Wagga March 2019 trip. Day 3. The day started with and event and ten took me North to Coolamon to make a start on those caches before finishing in Wagga with the water pond caches. I think I have failed this one before, but today I found enough numbers to get some local co-ordinates and happily when I visited the spot is was a good one and even had a cache for me to find, even if I really could be a bit taller.

Thanks.

Worked out the co-ords for the final but when we got there we found some council muggles at the site of GZ, incidentally Nick Winter was NOT the first Australian to win gold at the Olympics that honour goes to EDWIN FLACK who won two gold medals at the 1896 games in Athens.

Adopting this cache out.

Winter in Marrar was transferred from JohnoMawbs to user The Drovers

We have given credit back to the original owners, Bingley3683, and would like to thank Fred6603 &
JohnoMawbs for the previous adoptions and maintenance.

Having just completed the friendship series of caches , was time to attack this multi after enjoying a bit of a break at a local eatery . The clues were worked , the coordinates were calculated and shortly thereafter we had the cache .
Thanks

Having completed the nearby series, Jules6 and I needed something to warm us up. Arriving in Marrar, we noticed the cafe. So this multi had to wait until we had scoffed our pie and coffee. I asked the lady working there how much she knew about Nick Winter and she replied "only what's on that poster" and pointed to a large poster inside the cafe. We read it and it contained the info we needed, but we still went across the road to check that info too. Jules6 was the one to spot the cache and sign the log. Thanks Bingley3683/Fred6603 that was our last cache for the day.

With happy feet 1 on beautif sunny day. Thank you for cache.

fitzy_1965 & I headed to the Wagga region for a weekend of caching. Made our base camp at Oura Beach with the aim of completing the WWW trail & the Bed-Rock series and anything in-between.

Whilst fitzy went and bought a pie, I set to getting the required information to make this find. Fitzy had found it a while ago so I was happy to cross this off too.

We were roaming around the countryside when this multi popped up on the map. We filtered through the WP looking for the necessary information and were amazed at all the history in this little town.
With the correct numbers found we did our math's before cruising to GZ. A quick search once there soon found the cache in the obvious spot.
TFTC.

Headed out for a drive today, and came across Marrar. While here checked out some of the history and completed the multi cache that was here.

This little town is part of the rail history in the area. It started as a tent town, growing from there and was eventually moved 9 miles westerly down the road.

They had their own Police station to handle the rowdy people as they left the Royal Hotel. Some of their houses were built our of Mud and Pise.

One of the biggest events out at Marrar was the Great Wheelbarrow race to raise money for lighting at their sports ground for night games.

Thanks for this trail of cache JohnoMawbs Lil Donna

Enjoyed this one coffee shop was so helpful and found the story board for us. P s best pies,,

Enjoyed this multi, found the cache and visited the local cafe to get more information on Mr Winter, was great

T4tC with angusnmumyadv.

TFTC. We had collected the base information on Saturday after following the Friends trail. Because we had not read the description properly we failed to get a sensible co-ordinate. As we needed to come back any way with the TOTT to complete the trail we left this one alone. Back in camp we reread the description and then a penny dropped . Quick calculation and a green tick.
A quick easy find this morning.

Today is the 14th of April 2018 and I managed to find 151 caches for the day. It was amazing, we did the RGGT and the Friends Series plus about 40 other random caches. We spent a total of almost 10 hours caching and only had two DNF’s. I have included one of the Geocaching poems that I have written. I hope that anyone reading it likes it. Thanks for all the caches and sorry for the generic log for this cache but with 151 caches in one day it would be too hard to write a different one for each cache.

Geocache Poem
By DARKSIDEDAN

My endless search goes on and on
Looking for treasures of every kind
Always chasing just one more find
Putting past DNF’s out of my mind

I step out into the world outside,
Seeking what is hidden from me
What size, shape or form will it be?
Only time will tell, I can’t wait to see

Will I find my prize at the end?
I will search in the failing light and cold
Filling with despair having looked everywhere
Where is this thing that gives my life pleasure?

Looking all around from every angle
I read the logs and check the hint
I curse out loud as I walk in circles
Screaming the bloody thing it not there

As time flies by and I fail to see,
Never once stopping to realize
It always been there before my eyes
No need for sorrow, there’s the Geocache.

***** 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 70 words per log, which seems close 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 almost 3000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 70 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before this year ends. Progress has been better than anticipated.*****

Cool multi in a nice little town. Found on a beaut day of caching with Joolay, AngelG27 and DarkSideDan. What a lovely town full of good caches. Many thanks to all and sorry for the mainly generic logs. TFTC !!

Cache 3674 on 14 Apr 2018

Back in Wagga for another weekend of caching - this time with Kittykatch, Joolay and DarkSideDan. A couple of the power trails in our sights, but a few others besides!

Unless otherwise indicated, caches found and in good order. Had to do the numbers twice before making the find.

Thanks JohnoMawbs for the cache and the fun!

Found with Kittykatch, AngelG27 and Darksidedan on a caching weekend to Wagga. Been a great day and loved seeing a different part of the country. We went to the shop for coffee and ice cream. Thanks for bringing us here

T4TC - Found with kriddynsash09. Love these history ones in our region

Thanks to 'pprass' a new cache is hidden at GZ coordinates. I also updated the cache page. Cache on and enjoy the easier find.

Found at 12:29 PM GAFF?.
This is an interesting story. The way it is worded, it sounds as though Nick Winter was the first Australian Olympian to ever win a gold medal. However we know that Edwin Flack won 2 gold medals 28 years earlier at the Athens games. So we now understand that Nick was the first Australian to win gold at the Paris games.
The cache didn't want to reveal itself and even after calling 2 previous finders nothing could be located.
We decided to place a cache at the base of the adjacent tree - it's a Berocca type tube.
Thanks JohnoMawbs.

After being fouled by muggles two days ago we ended up cone past here again.
No one around so I start looking. And looking, and looking. Despite looking in all places matching the hint, and previous logs, no cache of as found.

Read the interesting information. Had lunch at the park. Then found muggles at GZ. Next time we come past we'll try again.

I found the container that where the last log entry was from Dec 2015 - how exciting 26 months unloved but looking online whilst at GZ there were multiple logs since then, but these names were not on the log sheet. So I continued to look a little further afield where I discovered a nano container, actually it was clearly a 'throw down' by someone who couldn't find the original, so no unloved for me.

My sincere apologies for the late log. I have geocaching finds dating back to 2011 in my GSAK database that I am yet to log; amounting to several thousand un-logged finds across the last 9 years.

So, what to do when you find yourself in this administrative caching 'hole' nightmare? Well you seek out a 'personal assistant' (thanks GoodLook), to assist to remedy the situation of course! I thank the CO for accepting my tardy log and for your understanding.

Thank you Fred6603 for placing this cache.

After finishing the nearby "Friend" trail we made our way up to Marrar to attempt this multi and grab ourselves some well deserved lunch. With the clues collected it was just a matter of completing the maths before heading to GZ where the hide was found after a bit of a search.
Thanks JohnoMawbs for keeping this one alive for us to discover today and learn about an olympian from days gone by.

After a nights rest, the team of DAB, Na'wal and The_Tritonz (DNT) headed out once again to collect some smiley faces. Another great mix of caches were in store for us. Utilising all of our skills we had a very successful day. Once again thanks to the CO's, much appreciated. TFTC JohnoMawbs

DAB, the Tritonz and myself were a long way from home for a caching trip. We were up at the crack of dawn for a big day of caching (signing our logs as The DNT) after camping the night before. After doing the series below, we met up here for some yum pies at the local store and then doing the sums we needed on this interesting sportsperson. We moved off to eat lunch and make a find which was a little tricky to locate. Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks to the JohnoMawbs for adopting this multi cache for us to find**
**Smile # 5372**

Thanks to 'SimpsonFamily15', the cache is still in good condition. Plenty of room in log book and still safe and sound where it is hiding.
I have now added a Geo-checker to the page as people are still getting GZ wrong. Good luck and cache on!

Huge sense of achievement with this multi! An incorrect attempt yesterday had us looking at the wrong location. Correction by CO had us in the right location and then quickly found.

Having a little trouble with this one. Sent a msg to the CO to check my CoOrds.

Camped in Junee for a couple days out this morning to pick up a few caches we missed on the last run. Need long arms for this one.TFTC

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

FurfacesLL and myself had decided on a trip away for some much earned stress relieving geocaching. We had planned on doing a day trip across to Wagga Wagga however once we had a look at how many caches we had left to find, changed our plans to an overnighter instead.

We had a large number of multi's to collect that we had picked up GZ information from on prior trips and we had some solved puzzles to collect that we had solved. A nice range of caches across the weekend, did alot of in field maintenance work for CO's by adding new clean/dry/crisp logs to containers in new zip lock bags just to help out.

A great weekend had by us both with a mix of caches, mix of weather and an extremely close brown snake encounter (too close for comfort).

Thanks heaps to FurfacesLL for another awesome weekend away, and thanks JohnoMawbs for the cache placement [^]

With a relatively free weekend at last a plan was hatched with Rapidlywild to go and collect some unfinished multi and solved puzzles along with some new caches in Wagga Wagga.

It was a rather eventful weekend with a close encounter of the brown slithery kind, not a very happy either as I think we woke it from its winter slumber, friendly cows, good and not so good weather and the opportunity for the inner monkey to show itself again on a few occasions.

After doing the friendship trail we kept on driving to do stray caches around the area, also stopped for a bite to eat before moving on.

TFTC JohnoMawbs and thanks for a fun weekend Rapidlywild.

It's my birthday, and a muggle friend has taken me on a road trip to Coolamon for a visit to the cheese factory. She even offered me the opportunity to grab some caches along the way! After a bit of confusion locating the first clue, we soon worked it out and we were able to backtrack to GZ. Thanks to my muggle friend's keen eye in spotting this one, and her amusement watching my little climb due to my height restriction.... TFTC!

Thought I had looked there but obviously not. Another quick check and there it was. Nice quick find (that could have been quicker), as it is definitely heading for winter. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

It is certainly cold but we were lucky to have this in hand fairly quickly. Thanks for the cache.

Grabbed something to eat at the local shop and grabbed all that was needed to find this sneaky little hide. No muggles at GZ which allowed for the search needed.
Thanks JohnoMawbs for placing the cache for us to find.

Another great hide on a glorious day. Thanks.

Quick find after several attempts, getting co-ords correct makes it big difference.TFTC

Suscoe was out and about in the Riverina today in the very good company of Phetlern.
It was a very cold start to the day with sub zero temperatures, but this slowly gave way to a sunny day which felt warmish at times.
We headed north of Wagga today and had a great day out travelling the country roads.
We really enjoyed this cache, funny how you find out things like this when out caching, a favourite from us.
Thanks to JohnoMawbs.

12:01
Along with Suscoe, we made our way to Junee via the "Friendship Run". The weather was perfect, allowing us to seek out a variety of caches, some of which were very sneaky. As always the co'ordinates lead us to places and/or revealed quirky tales, we would never have known about without geocaching.

Satellites today had our GZ 6 metres SW of where we found the cache.

Thanks JohnoMawbs for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Usually Mr Winglen will steer away from multis but on this trip I persuaded him that we should make the effort and clear some of the orange icons. This is an interesting history - imagine being mother to the young Winter and all his escapades!! Anyway, on our second attempt at the maths (calculate twice, proceed once) we headed off and made a quick find. Thanks for bring us here!

In the area with fitzy_1965 and LuckyL10n completing the new nearby friends series and having missed this one a few months ago, LuckyL10n and returned to our GZ and soon had the replacement cache in hand. Always to good to claim a former DNF....

An interesting story and another cache that told me something I had no idea about, so thanks for the history lesson...and the cache JohnoMawbs. Fav point added.

#6209 - 13:30; Out on a day run with Sol de lune and fitzy_1965 heading south to Wagga Wagga, then north for the 'Friendship Run' series and on to Temora for some of the newer caches there. We had collected a few trigs and a couple of other caches along the way and had now reached Marrar after completing the trail. Having DNFd this cache on our last visit, we returned to GZ where we enjoyed a quick find this time around and Sdl and I finally had our names on the log. TFTC JohnoMawbs

Was with JohnoMawbs on a Maintenance run. TFTC

After adopting this cache, I decided to change the hide to a magnetic nano which hopefully wont go missing as the cache I found was in very bad shape (like in my log). So now that I own it hopefully it will be a bit better hide and not go missing. I didn't need to change the GZ coordinates as it is still correct. Good luck future finders.

3rd time lucky (I think)! I have attempted this one a couple times before and they all ended in DNF's. So after my last time I tried I sent CO a message to find out if I was looking in the right area. It turns out I was but I just couldn't find it. Today I had another opportunity to see if I could find it. I started off at GZ and widened my search only to find just rubbish around. I went even farther away, again finding rubbish and an unusual brick about 45m away from GZ. I took a look at the brick and there was a piece of paper in it that said 'Winter in Marrar' and the last person's (who found it) geocaching name. I was a bit confused as it was out in the open but the paper wasn't wet or falling apart as there was no cover on the paper (It's been raining the past few days in the area). So a little bit of a different hide and after finding it, I decided to bring it back closer to GZ. I found a spot that hopefully wont let it go missing about 5 metres away from GZ for the moment. It is certainly a great cache, just the cache need a bit of maintenance as I didn't have any spare cache containers with me this time. TFTC!
P.s. Fred6603, if you wanted to change to the cache (or pass it on), I am happy to take it over as I think I found a better way of hiding the cache that shouldn't go missing.

Would CO like to check this?.....
