So much history in this area. TFTC

Found empty container as previous logger about 3 logs ago. Not sure what other signing. If anything. We placed a Great Leap Forward mega tube thanks to Freddo. Has new log scroll in it. This placed in original wooden cache container - cool container. Go to goal. Do not pass gaol. Found on the Mega Capital Geobash coastal loop via Adelaide - Barrington - coast to Mexico City loop. A lot of caches and white line fever was sweated out. Thanks TeamSenz and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Replaced missing cache and log, great container and hide! Beautiful Court House nearby, great history Day 12 were now slowly heading Sydney before making our way to the Easter 2024 Canberra Geobash. Thanks TeamSenz for placing this here, contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy.

Used my 'Get out of Gaol Free' card and came and found this quickly. Walked directly to GO (GZ), collected $200 (not really, just the cache TFTC TeamSenz

Having walked and rode past here during the 70s while living locally I am here today reminiscing and while doing so GG1 did all the hard yards which was found this one quite quickly.

Coords took us straight to the cache. No problem here.

I think its been mugged, found the tree and the obvious hiding place in base. Canister gone but empty drink instead.

Visiting family for Christmas, haven't geocached this area before so figured I had to get some more smiley's under my belt. Hadn't had much luck today so decided to do some adventure labs. Was at rhe courthouse when I decided to see if any caches were around and noticed this multi so had to get it while here. Great hide, had to be a little sneaky as a few muggles were around but once they were gone I located the cache quickly, signed and was on my way to continue the adventure lab. TFTC, have always wanted to see the gaol!

Find # 9985Nice quick find.TFTC TeamSenz 22 December 2023 13:56

With our great trip to Cape York now finished I was wandering home solo basically aiming at lga's and then adventure Labs as we don't have muggle problems with any of these caches. As the two adventure Labs in town both bought me back to this location I thought it must have been meant to be. I am so glad I did as the information on the cache page was fantastic. It was certainly a place to steer clear of in those days. I collected the information required and worked out gz and headed off there. Once in the area I was happy that the whole place was deserted and I was free to search, not that it took that long to locate the container and our name is now in the log book and everything returned as it was.Many thanks TeamSenz for this nice easy multi

Found in between doing some ALs. Thanks

Nice for tftc

Found with coxy52

Found whilst enjoying a caching tour of the area around Maitland. A very nice multi. Thank you TeamSenz

Love the problem solving! TFTC

Awesome TFTC

Found this one last week while in the area.Forgot to log.Nice easy one TFTC

Located this cache before a trip to the jail. We love watching the coal trains and the nearby train tracks were busy today

Nice hide. Tftc

Found quickly. Tftc.

Got the numbers and then the self guided tour of the gaol. After tour we went in search of cache. TFTC TeamSenz

Thanks!

A straightforward find while doing the nearby AL waypoint. If they could talk, I bet this building and the one opposite would have some interesting tales to tell.

Thanks for a nice little multi TeamSenz.

Excellent - TFTC

Did the math and found the cache TFTC

Nice easy multi. Didn't realise the Goal was there in middle of suburbia. Beautiful court house. TFTC

A nice esy 1 part multi to showcase this gaol. If only those wals could talk. After doing the math, a short stroll, and gz was found. Had cache in hand soon after. I think the camo is missing its lid. Lots of logs in there, work out which one is in use at moment. Amazing that a film canister is water tight. TFTC.

Solved yesterday and then a quick find on the way to an event.

Thank you, TeamSenz, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

On my way to the Hunter expedition in Maitland, picking caches up along the way. Finally arrived and dinner sorted, even after dinner a few evening caches.

Found went to the wrong tree at first, but then got it

Fairly quick.... TFTC

It's taken a while but just clearing up a few local cases I haven't found. Great camo, lid was damaged.

Apparently one has to pass a maths test. After incorrectly adding up and 30 min search, re-did the sums and put in the correct coordinates with a subsequent find.

Cool camo. Good one! TFTC

Lol on this one

Found with Shaneo58's help, we came up here hoping it would stop raining or clear up a bit, so it was fine up here at Maitland, Paterson and Morpeth. Nice container, pity the outer container needs some repair. inner container OK.
Cache replaced as found.
**Thanks For The Cache** TeamSenz.

This is the 7th cache of 9 for today making a grand total of 3253 at 2:19PM on this Thursday the 15th of July in the Year 2021

First multi cache, real good! Took me a bit to work out the gps on this app but got there. TFTC

??

Found it after a lovely walk around the area

Out caching today along with ilook4geo and looked for this cache. A nice little offset multi is always a pleasure and the result was good to find as well. There was no problem in locating this cache and the log was soon signed with both names. Thank you to TeamSenz for placing this cache. Favourite point given for this one.

Came along here with goingplaces2 for a cache hunt. This was an easy find after getting the new numbers, log was soon signed and all was replaced as found. Good camo, have a FP. TFTC.

Found by the Southwell’s

After a long day out grabbing all of the ones along the dogs head Trail I thought it would be a good idea to get one or two in town before dinner this was an interesting find great camo but the ants have taken over TFTC

Tftc team Senz, nice and simple multi that has GZ nearby is always good. Didn't have the time to tour the goal today, we'll be back.

Morning visit to the gaol.
Quick calculations and a location that looked good.
Then an easy find on a cache made well.
Thank you for hiding this geocache TeamSenz

Nice hide but covered in ants!! TFTC

Worked out the co-ords, had a quick look at the gaol, then went off to find the cache. After a short walk, Julie found the nicely crafted cache container. SL TNLN TFTC TeamSenz

A few spider webs on this one today. Good spot for the geo kids.

A great history lesson. TFTC. Lots of spiders webs but the cache is dry and ok

I joined a trip to Maitland with Aquilus1, dty73, Tankengine, Barb2e, Kitty Katch & Joolay. The weekends main game was to do the dogs head series, but along the way we did some old caches around Sydney and did as many Maitland caches as time allowed. The return journey was via some old caches and some challenges that may or may not be met one day.

Day 3's target was a trip to Frying Pan. The trip was great and the caches along the way and there lots of fun. I was very disappointed at just how many people were camping in a spot like this, I cannot see how it could be enjoyed. The afternoon was finished in Maitland with the Walka Lake Adventure Lab, a fun diversion.

Thanks for the cache TeamSenz

Needing one more multi cache for an interstate multi cache challenge, I made plans to quickly duck over to Maitland to do this one. I arrived when there wasn’t a soul around, and so the required numbers were quickly worked out, and a short stroll later soon had the cache in hand. A very nice little piece of camo.

Gratias TeamSenz

Find No: 7966. Out for the day with shaneo58 and Yella Belly, thanks for the cache TeamSenz!!

Nice hide. I’ve lived in this area for 6 years and ever knew the park across from the starting cashe existed. Thanks!

Found it. My maths may have been wrong. It had me barking up the wrong tree.A phone call put me in the right direction. TFTC Team Senz.

Headed to the Maitland area with fitzy_1965 & SpecimenX for an extra long weekend of caching.

Time to pack up and head home but not before picking up more of the local caches with nibletricecakes and Joolay. Another quick multi with fascinating history. Thanks TeamSenz.

All caches where found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned. Logs were either signed or stamped as Capital Crunchers or CC.

Found with fitzy_1965, minniek, Nibletricecakes, Joolay as part of the Canberra Invasion of Maitland and surrounds over an extra long weekend

Last day of the invasion and we were focusing on nabbing a bag of local caches before heading home. Once the info for this one was sorted, we wandered down to GZ and made the nice, easy find. Interesting features on the tree! Signed or stamped Capital Crunchers or CC to save log space.

Thanks for the hide, TeamSenz

An interesting area to visit today. Calcs done a nice walk and a quick find at GZ . Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl

What a forbodding place!!! And set within such beautiful surrounds. Trains and birds and railway stations and and bright red trees. A nice little adventure as the cool night air kicks in - delightful after a hot day!

....

Heading north with Joolay to meet up with some friends for a weekend tackling the Dogs Head geoart. We of course couldn’t help ourselves and grabbed a few caches (and particularly a few challenge caches!!!) on the way!

Found with Nibletricecakes up from Canberra for the weekend. Head about this place for years. Nice little multi. TFTC

Felt a bit scetchy here with a few people around but it all worked, nice hide
TFTC

Great hide, love it, it is obvious and yet not, very unique. Nice to learn some history too. Fav point from me TFTC

The cache is missing

Love love love this cache. TFTC and the view of the Court House was fantastic.

There was plenty of parking near the plaque so we were soon on our way to GZ, which was a very interesting place with no onlookers. I had a really good look around without finding anything, but we did receive an important phone call in the middle of the search which put us off our game. Eventually I noticed a really obvious but very well done container which held the cache. I have seen this before but this one really fooled me. Thanks TeamSenz for another great multi and hide.

Wow, what a history this place has. We found the info for the coords and were able to track down the cache site fairly quickly. What a cool cache container. Thanks for the hide TeamSenz

Nice simple multi. Was needed as the brains trust was getting tired after attempting a few others today Thanks all for bringing us here to the area. TFTC TeamSenz

Out with Snakepiters to find this cache. Happily we were able to find gz and claim our prize. We are enjoying our time using Kurri Kurri sports club camp as our base. Thanks to TeamSenz for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Found tyftc

That was a great challenge, no room left on paper...added some post it notes

Clever hiding well camo ... TFTC

I visited this back 2015 under a different name, kamfindit and now I have a new name...
found it on 2016....
After travelling for OZ series and Maitland with ALL7..
TFTC...

Out and about doing some caching at night cleaning up the remaining multis in the area and also grabbing the odd Trad or 2 before we leave Maitland to head back to Victoria.
Our arrival coincided with the ghost tour departure so some blending in was needed to grab a quick photo of the said plaque. Lucky the hide wasn’t so close so we were able to grab that without any hassles.
Thanks TeamSenz for the multi.

Needs a new log....Full

Found on a nice Saturday arvo. Clever hide. Needs a new log
TFTC team wooness

Loved the container. TFTC

Sunny winter day out caching, just Mum and the girls. Working through some more Hidden Creatures. Headed towards home now and negotiating with kids for 'one more cache'! Being locals, we've been to the gaol many times, but before our caching days. Again, I calculated the coords while the kids played in the park. Easily solved, but loved the hide! Worth a favourite!

Found with Beary_Unicorns on a chilly Saturday morning, tftc

Found with Banj Ward fp from me!

Love your cashes team senz!

A great start to the day with this simple multi. This would have been a most formidable place in its time. Thank goodness I've never seen the inside of one for real. A nice stroll to GZ and a quick find. Like the camo. Thanks for the placement TeamSenz.

Great cache.

**# 20970** Found on the start of our mega adventure to ACT, NSW, QLD and beyond.
A fine sunny Autumn morning for a drive around in Maitland again.
A lot less muggles around today and a few more good hides.
A good safe hide here at GZ too.
Thanks for the cache TeamSenz,
