Blaumilchkanal AUS-003 Waterfall, New South Wales, Australia
By The Arkaroo on 25-May-13. Waypoint GC4CY3P

**THIS LOG IS A FEW DAYS LATE**Upon arrival at GZ, found the cache washed down from its hiding position in a hole that was eroded by rain and natural elements. The cache container is no longer waterproof and the (original) container is completely destroyed. The current container is in one piece but full of water and logbook is unable to be signed. Can the CO or someone please perform maintenance?It might be a good idea to place a new container here in the tree or on the pole as the containers that are here currently keep getting moved/damaged.MaxI125

Decided to try this cache whilst passing the dam. Found container washed away in the washed out ground holes . Contents are soaked and cache full of green water. Needs maintenance. Logbook is unable to be signed due to how wet it is but once dried it should be ok to use as it is in one piece. Photo for evidence. TFTC, cache replaced but moved from the washed out hole . It is near a small stem of a tree/bush at GZ.MaxI125

yay

This one was easy

Stopped in here after completing a couple of Woronora Dam caches nearby. At first was misled by the broken cache container like previous finders but then found the real one. While the log was very wet, the write-in-rain properties are holding good. We dried things out as much as we could before completing the necessaries!

Found the old smashed cache then Geofriend said I can see another container. CIH

Log soaking wet but managed to sign.TFTC

Good spot

Good spot

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Although we couldn't read the description this one was an easy find. Beware the fast road, there is a good and safe spot to park to the north on the side road.

Seems the original container is still there and not in a good way, but there's a secondary container which is in good shape which contains the logs. Log is a little wet, but definitely usable.

Found with geodad, it was easy to find, but close to the road.

We added a small pill jar with waterproof paper. However, we left the old container and logsheet there. TFTC

#7037 (5 of 5 today)

Decided to head south this afternoon for today's finds. Thought I'd go for the three hides around Garrawarra Centre / Hospital. And one or two more en route...
Ended up getting all of the five I attempted.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Quick and easy find. Plenty of parking off the highway as the dam is still not open - sign mentioned the bushfire risk... Really? After all this rain? Hmmm.

The container is well and truly broken, and the log is still signable only because the whole container was in a ziplock bag.
Still a touch damp, though.

Signed, replaced and time to head home.

Found it sort of near the clue
Container is split and log wet needs some tlc thanks

TFTC!!

Found on our trip to the Mega, quick find thanks

While over from Tassie to attend the Gong OzGeo Muster 2019 myself and Goose of GooseandEgg we managed to polish off few series and grab some other random caches in our five days on the big island.
We flew out on Thursday night and arrived back in the apple isle late on Tuesday night, thanks for all the caches.
We normally try and get some old caches or D/T's we are missing but this time it was more about a couple of series and catching up with a few fellow cachers.

Found while driving down the Old Princes Highway collecting caches along the away. A quick find here, cache in good condition. Thanks The Arkaroo

A very quick find on a cache that definitely needs some TLC.
Thanks for the hide The Arkaroo.

Staying at Cataract Park for the OZ Geomuster with whitewebbs we found the nearby caches and this was one we found.

An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Day 82 Mainland trip OZGM
Having arrived at Cataract Park we headed out today caching with Tassie Trekkers and this was one we found. A quick find. TFTC

Im in the area over the June long weekend attending a scout camp at the nearby Camp Coutts and snuck out to grab a cache.
I had intended to go and grab the High Point cache today but was a bit disappointed to find that the road to the dam has been closed for the next couple of months for work to go on.
I had found this one a while back and logged it as a dnf so its good to turn it to a yellow smile.
Thanks.

Found with Haasdyk.
A little worse for wear. Where ARE those Germans, when you need 'em for cache maintenance?

Heading south of Sydney picking up some of the caches we didn't get a chance to do while staying in Woonona a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the hide.

Tftc, might need replacing soon there's mould growing on it.

I found container from prev post.. added log book paper.. wrapped it.. rehid near clue..

Came out to see dam.. but closed.

Couldn’t find the cache.
I did find a busted up container that would be good as a cache. Dont know wether its been muggled or im blind.

Hint made it easy... could use a new log

Nice trip to the dam

A quick grab before we headed into the National Park.

Of course I chose the wrong side of the road at first

Tftc

Easy find

16,004. Found during a GCA run down the coast with minniek.

While concentrating on one type of cache today we had time for a few GCs. On a previous trip I had found AUS-001 and AUS-004 so it made sense to try for AUS-002 and AUS-003 today. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and headed off to the next one.

Thanks The Arkaroo + RockSandra !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Headed out with fitzy_1965 on a GCA run but picked up some GC's along the way.

Quick find here today.

Found it! But still have no pencil today!! Thanks!

Cords are out but it's here.... Doing it again!

**The Cache**
Cache in good condition.

**The Day**
Decided to head to Helensburgh today and complete the remaining puzzle series I ran out of time to complete. Decided to stop on the way and collect some other caches, this being one of them. Another great day had, as always.

17 = 16 0 and 1 [8)] not attempted

**** No trackables seen in cache ****

Nicely placed and easy to find. That's how I like 'em.

#1295 met up with alnic39 at Sutherland then continued down the road. Stopped at Waterfall to get a few caches before continuing to Helensburgh. A nice quick find. Signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache The Arkaroo

28/3/17. 1:23 PM. Cache #4899.
7th of 10 finds today (& 3 DNFs) - Maddens Plains, Darkes Forest, Helensburgh, Woronora Dam, South Turramurra.

Heading home from "Postman Rat", I decided to target this "Blaumilchkanal AUS-" series along the way (travelling north, this meant 004, 001, 002 then 003).

Another fairly easy park & grab, with a short hill climb involved; the find was then easy. And that was going to be it for the day. Time to head home, an hour away, for a late lunch.

And then the new cache emails pop up. And there's a series of five within 3km of home! I coordinated a visit with some fellow FTF hounds and hoped to get there first, with them. So, "Scout Trail - Mowgli" was my next find. TFTC.

Another park & grab on our way to Creepy Cawley. Bikerbuddy had this one quickly.

Thanks

Unlike the previous cache in this series that we found not far away, I walked to the right spot and found this cache immediately. Thanks

Easy find and third for the day

One for each kid now.

The Arkaroo I found your cache Blaumilchkanal AUS-003 on 3/1/17, 11:54 am. This is my find #1818 and find #7 today. Another quick park and grab. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

I parked in the left turn lane and made a quick find. This was only possible because of the almost non-existent traffic.
TFTC

Very easy to find. Thanks!

Found with Mikev1 at Helensburgh. SR

Was travelling along the old Princes Highway and saw that there was a cache at the junction nearby. I can't understand any of that German but fortunately I could understand the English hint. As it turned out I pulled up in the car right beside the correct one, and a quick scramble and a look revealed the cache. Signed the log and replaced it in the same spot. Found with SR. TFTC

Josie dived for the prize

Apologies for the late log
Thank you for the cache

The coords were way out and had me still on the road, but a quick read of the hint made it an easy find
TFTC!

Not to hard to find this one, just watch the traffic. TFTC.

Nice one

Thanks to ANSTO for providing yet another geocache container. TFTC.

TFTC found on the same day as another geocacher...?

Quick stop after the event at the dam. No traffic today made it a muggle free find.

found it

Found on the way to an event at the dam with MrSmash.

Did this one at night searched all around the area before double checking some details and the find was made. The cache was laying on the ground which looked out of place, did my best to cover up the cache, log was a little damp as well.

Found on a beautiful day out house-hunting in Wollongong. Another in the series but I did this one first today. Good use of similar caches in the series, makes me smile to pick them up. Tftc ??

I had planned this day of caching all week. I headed off from Greystanes at 8am with my list of 56 caches and supplied with water, sandwiches, and a thermos, tea bags gloves and GPS.
I head south down Woodville Rd through Moorebank heathcote, waterfall, madden plains stopped at sublime point for a cuppa, then along Appin Rd and down to Cataract Dam. Then back up Baden Powell dr over to Appin, through Campbelltown, the M7, M4 and home, arriving at 1800. For 176 km, 32 finds, 5 DNF and 19 DNA for different reasons.
The finds today included meeting 2 groups of cachers on Baden Powell dr and I found my 1st ammo tin but now I have found 5, picked up 2 TBs, and the spillway was open at the dam.
It has been a great caching day. Buggered but now it is time to do some logging.
I parked up the side street and walk around the corner for a quick grab. TFTC.

Quick park and grab

A quick park and grab while out on another driving lesson with son. A chance to continue my streak.
Hint took me straight there. In position as per the hint. Log in reasonable condition. Plenty of space to sign. All seems dry inside container. TFTC. #347

First cache.
