Time to kill on star wars day, and the weather was good so i thought i would grab at least some of the GEO-triad.Nice easy find.

Another very quick find TFTC

Out and about today exploring the area with Grannan55 and Geodogs. All good here. Now, onto the next one for the day. TFTC

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

Out and about with Happy Pants and The Empire after we managed to organize a couple of nights away. Happy Feet didn't join us this morning as they had already found these.
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. Nice, quiet and picturesque back roads this morning with most caches found quickly and in good order.
Thanks for the cache Riverina Geocaching and for highlighting the area. Appreciate your efforts. Many apologies for the generic log.

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. Enjoying the quiet part of this series, we able to cruise through the dirt roads with ease. Signing caches with either a stamp, multiple stamps, hand written names or 'The Crew'. Thanks for the cache, and the series Riverina Geocaching.

Found this morning while hitting up this trail with The Empire and Snap Happy, enjoyed the nice and quiet drive along this series of back roads with only a couple of passing muggles to pass us as we travelled along. So sorry about the generic log but we managed to locate this one without too much stress and found pretty much all containers good in size and good in condition. Many thanks Riverina Geocaching for placing and maintaining the cache.

Cache #39 of the day with Venus Galaxy and MrTsAdventures.

TFTC

Today was our chance to do the RGG Trail, after a few stops at work wear and safety shops, we managed to get out to the start by 9am. Not a bad day, however, we still managed to get 10 DNF's, some logs were full of water or damp and some containers are cracked. There were also several containers just lying out in the open approx 4mtrs from GZ "Possibly due to native intervention'.

The trail would benefit from a maintenance run, as we did not have enough logs, or correct types of containers to replace.


Thanks Riverina Geocaching for the series.
Total Cache Finds 12336,

This afternoon I set out on a quest to begin this series of caches. I was observed by many sheep, cows and horses, chased away the odd rabbit and scattered the odd bird. Some areas were overgrown with long grass, but thankfully no slippery sticks were spotted today! Thanks Riverina Geocaching for placing these caches, they sure did fill in my afternoon!

I have decided to try tackling this series in stages over the coming weeks. All of the caches have been located, signed and replaced as found, and are in good order unless otherwise stated. A few were more challenging than others mostly due to the overgrowth at this time of year. Thanks for this enjoyable cache series along some picturesque countryside!

Late log from the the 2 Aug. Great day caching tx

Enjoyed a caching day out with jorgo_crew which maybe the last one for a while depending on what our next lot of restrictions may bring.
Needed to take 5 along this stretch as the local farmer was moving sheep between paddocks. Didn't need to explain what we were up to as they are used to seeing cachers in the area.
All finds found in good condition unless stated..
Thanks Riverina Geocaching a great trail..

Completing this trail in sections on my push bike over the upcoming month hopefully before any more lockdown restrictions come into place. Thanks for the caches!!

All looks to be in good working order with this one!.

TFTC Riverina Geocaching,


Here 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 for almost 2 years now, 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.

We are in Coolamon for a few days and will increase our find numbers by doing this series. It is not our goal to speed through we will take our time , we are looking forward to the variety of hides we will encounter. Thank you for you work in placement and ongoing effort for maintenance of caches.

Trackables that are with us are
Ducinc Viking ship
Geocoin club November
Worldwide traveller
TE5 racer4 white origins
US flag micro geo coin
Mini purple.

Will definately be dropping a few of these as we have had some since prior to lockdown and a separate note will be written.

Once again thanks for the cache.

Brett and Judy.
And Dash.

Set off for a bit of a numbers run and this series fitted the bill perfectly, although we didn't expect to complete it today, with possible showers forecast for the afternoon.

As it happened these didn't eventuate and we had a clear run around the circuit with all caches found. We were just able to sign all the logs despite a couple of very damp ones. Most were in good condition, although some of the containers were damaged and one was irretrievably stuck inside a log!

Thank you Riverina Geocaching for the massive effort in placing and maintaining this most enjoyable series along peaceful roads through scenic countryside. Apologies for the generic logs which in no way reflect our enjoyment of your trail. Where we identified issues, these are mentioned separately.

Another great find. Thanks for hiding this cache for our enjoyment Riverina Geocaching

Needs attention. Found just the bottom of the container with a recent logsheets in a baggie.

TFTC,
Back in Sydney and using my time to log caches we completed on our forced return to home base.
We completed the northern half of the bMg series yesterday afternoon and want to try and get as near to 10,000 as I can while a chance exists. I suspect that I will not do much more caching before my 10 year anniversary on the 28th May.
This trail is a massive help and my thanks go to Riverina Geocaching for setting it up.
We helped by replacing lids and logs when damaged till we ran out of replacements and caches where they were missing. Nana nel has sent a full list to the contact email address.
2 of the containers providing information for the bonus escaped us and we were lucky enough to be able to contact a local for help to get the information to calculate coordinates, end of paste.

Stayed the night in The Rock, as we can't go to Millicent to cache, this series looked good to give us some numbers. Along the way did what maintenance was required (we have advised the CO which ones). Quick find, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to Riverina Geocaching

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.

Out and about on this glorious Australia Day weekend grabbing just enough caches to get me to 999 finds. Why 999? Well, I am without my caching partner this weekend, and as it will be my first 12 months since becoming a geocaching member on Tuesday 28th, January, and I will be out caching with OZREG on that day, that is when I will log the 1000th, as he deserves to be there to celebrate with me, as without him I would not have had the opportunity to log anywhere near that amount of finds. Not that he is any good at finding caches; nothing can be further from the truth. He just loves burning diesel to get me there, wherever "there" may be. Team OZCAT looking forward to continuing the journey together.
Thanks to CO for placing and maintaining these caches

A quick and easy find with matho64. TFTC

Found with Jackez74 TFTC

Found on my 2nd attempt at the RGGT PT on this visit to Wagga. This was a quick find.

Our last full day in the Wagga area and after completing all the WWW caches we could we decided to have a go at this trail, the numbers were just too tempting. We didn't get to the end, had 4 DNFs and found 52 caches. We'll have to come back on another trip to finish off the last ones. TFTC

Day 304 - After a good day yesterday we decided to finish the RGGT trail today and collect the remainder of the finds needed to complete the Mystery at the Museum. It was a good day and we started in the other direction from the day before and made our way around again to where we left of it is a nice lot of roads around this area and we enjoyed the scenery today as well.

This was the next in the line we went for and it was a nice quick find.

Thanks Riverina Geocaching for placing this series for us to find.

Found while out and about around Wagga. These caches were not hard to do and that was in no small part due to very good coordinates. It was also obvious that a lot of work is put into maintaining them in good order. My thanks to Riverina Geocachers and in particular to whoever does the maintenance.

Well today after working out a day that finally suited us both, we Headed out to complete the Riverina Geocaching's GeoTriad Tribute with @LilDonnasAdventure
After being in contact with the CO's and informing them of our plans and asking if we can do some TLC for them whilst out there, we set off from home at 8:20am and dropped of Geo Son at day-care.

Between 8:45am & 1:05pm, we then completed the 80 Trads & 1 Mystery Cache, in 50km. We found the three tribute caches which allowed us to be able to complete the mystery cache to finish of the trail. This was a great achievement on our behalf, we were shocked we got there on just over 4 hours.

We have completed the needed maintenance on them for the CO's on our trip, they are all now in place, some still need a little more Love which will happen in the near future, but all there.

We both enjoyed doing this challenge and the Maintenance, we were happy with the time it took us and set us both a new daily record of caches in one day.

Generic log on all unless needed to mention a Cache guardian or Laugh....

Thanks for this great cache power Trail Riverina Geocaching.

Happy Caching =)

Headed out today to do complete the Riverina Geocaching's GeoTriad Tribute with @AngusnmumyAdventures . We left home at 8:20 and dropped of Geo Grandson at day-care.

Between 8:45am & 1:05pm, completed 80 Trad & 1 Mystery, in 50km. We found the three tribute caches which allowed us to be able to complete the mystery cache to finish of the trail. This was a great achievement on our behalf.

We completed maintenance on them on our trip, they are all in place at the moment, some still need a little more help which will happen in the near future, but all there.

We have found them, we put in our stamp, we replaced it where it belongs and now, we have logged it.

Sorry for the generic log LD

Thanks for this great cache power trail, Lil Donna & co

Easy find. we are half way through the series

Thanks for series. Had fun. Returning home to wodonga from Wagga area. Close on 100 caches for a 24 hr period I had no time to log every cache individually. I would like to thank all Cache owners for there effort in placement of caches. If there was any problem regarding a cache, I would certainly inform the CO via message or log depending on the issue if any. Cheers, Reg.

Found during my return journey back to Adelaide after a visit to Canberra for the fortnight, after deciding to complete a series along the way. Thanks for the cache and series Riverina Geocaching!

Together with Sivun and jsson on our way from Wagga Wagga to Mildura. We logged as IJS.
It was a long drive so we picked some easy to find caches along our route only.
Thanks for placing a cache here for me to enjoy and find.

#3212 What a great little series of caches, thanks Riverina Geocaching for placing them. I'm in Wagga Wagga for a couple of days caching and some R & R. Found a total of 77 with 3 DNFs in and around WW. Cheers from Canberra. TFTC Riverina Geocaching.

We traveled further north from Albury to find a power trail of caches to help boost my numbers. I'm aiming to reach the 4000 cache milestone at the Parkville Event in almost two weeks! We discovered this trail last night when we were planning today and thought a trail of 80 caches should be achievable for us in a day and combined with some others I might even make it to 100 caches for the day.
I was getting hot and tired by this stage of the day. The Evil Muggle got it, for which I was quite relieved.

came to do this series with Darzee Di and Banjo the GeoJackRussell to get our numbers up before going to the UK Mega in Yorkshire next week. great little series and really enjoyed the area. tftc Riverina Geocaching

Sorry for the generic logs, some a little different but full log at #80. ACTchil and I took a little drive to Wagga to grab the caches in this series to help reach my next milestone, this was our 39th one for the day. We took it in turns driving as close as we could to gz and lucky they were all easy finds, signing log and replaced in it's hiding spot. tftc Riverina Geocaching

After a big few days at work, I decided today on my day off that I would try to collect as many caches I could for the ‘Hidden Creatures Souvenir’ currently happening. This is because this is the last day to find caches towards it. I decided on the trail that goes: Temora – Wagga – Coolamon – Ganmain – Grong Grong – Ardlethan – Temora. I had planned a longer trail but I didn’t get away when I wanted to and because of the amount of sunlight left in the day. Sorry, but on some caches I became lazy and only wrote my cacher’s name and not the date. TB visit on all caches today. Thank you all cache owners for the caches I found, the fun I had and for the opportunity to discover these locations.

Found caches RGGT #33 to RGGT #61 today. Most were, before getting out of the car I knew where they were. There were only about three or four that that made me think. TFTC and the great trail.

After completing another caching trail in the area we thought we would finish off this trail which we had started on a previous visit to WaggaWagga. There was no problem finding nearly all of the caches and each one had our visit recorded with us using our initials GP2. Thank you very much to Riverina Geocaching for placing this big run of caches as we always enjoy driving through rural areas, especially in the lambing season.

Choughs and apostlebirds not happy when I pulled up here - cache signed and I left them be - TFTC

Had a spare day so geo wife and I were wondering what to do. We picked caching, but where? Spied this lot near Wagga so made plans to go and grab them. Dropped the geo kids at school as early as we could then headed Wagga way. After a nice drive to Wagga we soon arrived at the first one and began our caching adventure. 80 caches, and 3 hours later we had finished them and had the info needed to get the final one. Great series and was reasonably quiet along the country roads.

Our goal today was to conquer this power trail and have fun along the way... We had a plan of attack worked out - hubby chief navigator & driver; me co-navigator, signer & logger; kids take turns in finding the cache & making swag trades. Worked a treat. A neat 4 hours from start to finish with a lunch stop along the way under a most magnificent specimen! Loved every bit of this power trail. Thanks for placing & maintaining.

TFTC. We had been planning to do this series in our time in Wagga Wagga. With getting repairs and medical maintenance this was the first opportunity to do this run. A nice morning not to hot. We left camp and headed to the trail. From start to finish we reckon that it took just over three hours. Lovely quiet backroads and no muggles to disturb us. All the hides were relatively straightforward and everything was in good order. A good series to boost our numbers.

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 !!

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.*****

Cache 3591 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.

Thanks Riverina Geocaching for the cache and the fun!

Found with AngelG27, Kittykatch and Darksidedan on a caching trip to Wagga. Decided to do this series for numbers but found it to be a great series that we all enjoyed. Loved the drive in the country and did it in double quick time. Thanks for bringing us here.

Tftc! A top cache

Not many Human Beings around .Getting in and out the Cache vehicle was hard work. So will go to plan B. Leave the seat belt undone and the motor running to make it easier. (Naughty). With seat belt undone the beeping went for about a minute and stopped. Thank goodness TFTC

What a terrific series to do, and a quick way to increase numbers!

Hanging out with The Drovers for a few days and Brett was kind enough to be my driver whilst finding these.

Thank you Riverina Geocaching for placing this series for our enjoyment.

Found on the 17/02/2018

I had the strangest urge last night to go for a long caching road trip this weekend. As soon as I woke up this morning I packed the necessities and prepared a coffee before heading to Wagga Wagga.
I've only cached there once before, but with others who had already poached most of the area. This time I got to choose!
However the long drive lead me by others which I had to sparingly choose only a few as it delayed my arrival to my destination.
A long day that I capped my find total at 100 finds. Tommorow I hope to get just as many on the way home.

Thanks for the caches.

39...my favourite number.

Another quick find TFTC and Thanks for the help

In the company of DAB and Na'wal we set off on a mission to complete this series while up in NSW for a brief holiday.
Signing as TheDNT's we worked our way through each and every cache making sure we kept an eye out for the final clues.
The scenery was amazing as we drove along the tracks, nothing beats enjoying the fresh air of the countryside.
Thanks Riverina Geocaching for the great series for us and others to enjoy.

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 lunch and our first series completed, we moved down south a little to do this series. A much quieter road of caches for us to find. No issues finding this one today & the clues for the final. Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks to Riverina for placing this trad cache & series for us to find**
**Smile # 5412**

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 Riverina Geocaching

Another wonderful day in the Great Outdoors, except this time I was up early and drove a couple of hundred kilometres to an area that I have hardly touched in my geocaching life.
There were two main Power Trails that I hoped to conquer this weekend and this cache was on one of them.
I was thrilled to experience as much success as I did. There was a wide variety of caches during the day, one causing me to chicken out, and a big challenge in terrain with some that caused me to DNF one. That brought my total of DNFs for the day to 2 as I think one may have gone missing earlier in the day.
I loved the birdlife, but I don't think the choughs were too chuffed with my presence on occasions.
Some of the early caches in the RGGT series are in need of repairs as the plastic has cracked.
Many thanks to all the cachers involved in laying this trail for our enjoyment. A great way to get people to visit your lovely city. Also to the Drovers for your incredible trail. I love the variety of hides and containers. Apologies for mass logging, but I think I achieved 93 finds today. (have booked into a motel in order to try for some more finds tomorrow!)
II will note on individual caches if I took something or left something.

TFTC.

Enjoying this series of caches. Thanks Riverina Geocaching.

Found it

Headed to Wagga Wagga today to drop of geo-son no. 1 for the week, whilst here I couldn't pass up the opportunity to grab a cache or 100! The RGGT trail was my main focus. With geo-son's 3 & 4 in tow (DK & MNJ), we had fun collecting caches for the day. There weren't too many cars along the way but we did get asked for directions from a cyclist. I hope he ended up in the right direction. Saw kangaroos, lizards, spiders and ants all guarding caches. Some caches on the trail were found out in the open so we returned them to a spot as close to GZ as possible. TFTC Riverina Geocaching, we had an enjoyable day.

Our apologies, but all logs will be generic unless otherwise needed. Full account will again be given on the last one we manage to get done. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks again.

When you geocache long enough you start to search for series such as this no matter how far from home base, and this series was just that. So after a early start from the ACT we arrived at the first cache around 10am and the fun started. This series was a simple drive by and I practically left the engine running the 3 1/2 hrs it took to complete. The co-ords were spot on, most caches easy to find, plenty of views, dirt plus sealed roads and the odd shower or two. Tftc. We even ended up saving a sheep whose head was stuck in a gate, boy he was lucky we happened to drive past:-)

Suscoe was out and about with Phetlern today enjoying the delights of this terrific Riverina trail.
A cold start with below zero at dawn, for most of the trail the car temp said 1 degree.
The sky was cloudy but we were ready for a great morning enjoying this trail, the countryside and the farmlands.
What a beaut way to spend the morning.
Thanks for the upkeep of this trail.
Thanks to the Riverina Geocaching folks.

The Riverina Geocaching's GeoTriad Tribute series, ticked all the trail boxes for us today. The caches were easily accessible, the roads are quiet and safe, with a couple of “specials” along the way and after almost 4 years since the trail was published, there is clear evidence of a sound maintenance regime.

Having visited two points of the original Triad, we were keen to complete this tribute series.

Today, together with our caching buddies, the Suscoe duo, we set out with the temperature at about zero degrees and by the time we finished, the temperature was still in single figures!! We had a great day – many thanks to everyone who contributed to the trail.

Thanks Riverina Geocaching for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.
