I found It's Time For A Break! today as part of our random road trip to who knows where????

Container is here in log is there. I understand why its disabled but it’s a bit of a shame. Thought we would find it anyway.

Many thanks Ned Kelly 123 for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

No longer in the area to fix/maintain.

Found it! Good track and fun to get to

Revisiting Tamworth after living here for a brief moment 35 years ago. The goal was to join in on parkrun and to turn as many markers to yellow smilies!
Thank you Ned Kelly 123 for your contribution to this great game.

On a mission to hike to the summit I was glad to stop for this cache and take a breather.
Contents completely water logged and unfortunately I had no replacements with me. I did not sign the book but have taken a photo if needed.
Replaced and continues the journey to the top.

Came up here after work in the afternoon, so time was limited.
Found this cache and decided to head back down without making it to the summit sadly, but it was a wise decision as it was pretty dark by the time I got back to the car park.
Thanks For The Cache!
n.b. Condition of log prevents signing. It is currently a biohazard!

Log is wet and mouldy and unusable. Cache contents also in poor condition. This specific type and brand of container is not waterproof.

It’s lovely to come up here and have a walk around Here as I need to stretch my legs after all the driving I’ve done to run away from all the rain that’s been going on on the east coast I found this cache but I may need maintenance as it’s quite wet and soggy inside

Round & round finally finding 7m south of our gp's coords. Very hot on the bush off track. Multi trunked tree.

Yuck. Definitely needs replacing. TFTC

I’ve got to say I’m struggling a bit in the heat of the day but I’ve done a bit of walking in my time,had to tip half the container out of water and so the log was a solid lump,now do I go for the next cache or not.TFTC

Can’t think of anything better to do on a drizzly day than slog up a steep slippery slope in inappropriate footwear. Yeah I got boots, they’re back down there in the car Failed at the other cache nearby so did a U turn and headed up another hill to this spot.

Quick find... Whew! Thoroughly sodden log but I didn’t have any spares. No pockets today

TFTC NK, and the exercise

So, a bit of a struggle up to here, so a good time for a break. At GZ had to freeze a moment while a walker went slowly past. Log was very damp. TFTC!

We started our journey from Million Dollar Views. Found the cache, but was full of water. took a photo of the cache, as GeoIan has said. Unable to sign log

We started our journey from Million Dollar Views at 10:30 this morning. And it was certainly time for yet another break getting to here. Lucky it took a while to find, as that gave the necessary break from that rocky goat track trail. The rocks just make it so much harder. Once i found the container, it was full of water, so was unable to sign the log. Have a photo of the cache though. As previous finders have suggested, this needs maintenance badly. Might not even be the original container, Who would know.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

We found this with the help of some photos, but the cache isn't in great condition and we had to pour water out of it. TFTC!

Found it tftc my 2800th cache

We couldn't spend all weekend on the roadside, so decided to hit the trail today, the whole family making a morning out of it, and with 4/4 and a trig, was a great caching outing. The track was pretty hard, mainly due to the rocks, but a great walk - highly recommended. From our photos, it took us 75 minutes to get to the top finding the caches on the way.
We had no problems finding this one, couldn't sign though - it is waterlogged, and needs to be replaced. Photologging..... TFTC!

Found today while going caching, had an awesome time looking for the cache!

Found with my Mum and Dad and Samuel on our walk up the mountain....

A fantastic walk up. Log was too wet to sign, so took a photo. TFTC

TFTC TNLN

Waterlogged

Muggle cousins are on fire today finding things one too for wombatjo and I. Tftc

The most inexperienced cacher got this one while the other 2 of us overlooked it lol. Tftc

With all the national parks closed due to total fire bans, Flagstaff Mountain seemed like a great plan B for a bushwalk.

This was a quick find not far off the track on the way. TFTC.

Found tyftc.

Caching in and around Tamworth, we picked up a few caches with Mr Whitewebbs and this was one of them.

After picking up the caches at the lookout we then tackled the caches on the walking trails in this area taking us about 3 and a half hours to do the circuit finding 5 caches on the way. We had great views from walking the trails, a good day out with Mr W, seeing the views of this area. An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Day 28 Mainland trip
Caching around Tamworth with Tassie Trekkers and this was one we found. Mr T and Mr W decided to walk to Flagstaff Mountain and then onto Bald Hill collecting caches as they climbed. TFTC

Great find weve had a few goes, gps not working well

Continued on from last year when found first one on track, attempted this one with friends(farmers), luckily left them behind . A bit of an exhausted search ,- wouldnt give up with out a find for such a long trek- then a find, all up about 90 minutes return, with lots of drinks on a very muggy Country Music day,Tftc

Found with my boys on a boys quick camping trip up here for two nights. After finishing work I picked up the boys and headed off straight away. Next day we headed out to find as many non 1.5/1.5 rated caches as were around. Some fun and cheeky caches around these parts.
This was our big walk for the weekend. Walked in from the million dollar view and just kept walking. Took a little bit to find. But that was fine as it allowed us to cool down from our walk.
Thanks for the walk and cache!

Our second find for today whilst out hiking. Cache water logged. Drained excess water out. SL TFTC

Here I am again in the best bit of any Tamworth visit
High on the hill with the lonely goat herds,
yodelayeee, yodellayeee, oh !! [:o)]

And somewhere at the top of the hill from the carpark,
I stopped for a break,
and found a cache

In the sticks

**Find #1816**

A fantastic bush walk here. A well used track by the locals. A quick find. The log was wet, I placed a new log in to help others.

Thanks **Ned Kelly 123**

TFTC.

After finding the Cache further down the track the GPS said 400 meters to this one.May be 400 in a straight line but more like double that along the track up hill and down dale. Easy find with hint.Gave the next one up a miss as it was starting to get hot again and had to get back to the car park over what is a rather rough track.Never the less TFTC

TFTC

Great hike found this on the way back

We initially walked right past this one and were about 500 m further along the path when the mistake was noticed. Hmm! Not being familiar with the tracks in the area we thought the track might do a circuit around Flagstaff Hill and thus we would not be returning past the cache. Consequently, we decided to retrace our steps and fortunately the cache was found quickly. Continuing on we eventually got to the trig point on top of Flagstaff Hill which was well worth the effort. But then we realised we would have to retrace our steps past the cache before continuing around the loop. Ah well, we needed the exercise and it was a great day for a walk! Thanks the cache and for encouraging us along this beautiful trail.

After work i came up here for a couple of finds. Unfortunately i didn't have time to go for the complete walk so will have to return. I made it as far as this one before i started to head back. Found quickly. TFTC

Up here in Tamworth from the central coast for TCMF gigs this week. It's a stoopid hot day to be heading out to Flagstaff Mountain for a hike lol ..but it needs to happen and today was the only time left I had to make it work ..and it was well worth it! I had about 5 or 6 caches planned for the journey with this one being the next one to find after returning to Oxley Lookout from the Flagstaff trig. These Kamilaroi walking tracks are very enjoyable, well worn trails of pure bush hiking bliss! I particularly enjoyed the lookout just up to the NE from here, I can't remember what it was called. Found the cache once I spotted a small SPOR and opened it to find it half full of water but the log was ok, albeit a little damp. By the time I'd SL and emptied the water out though, it had dried off ok. But there is a small chip in the lid so next rain it will get wet again. Just, FYI. Cheers Ned Kelly 123.

Nice location. Cache is wet and the log book is getting damp. Will need some maintenance. TNLN SL TFTC!

Another nice little walk off the track on the way back down the mountain. TFTC!

Found

Cool cache, beautiful walk. We took our dog along for the adventure. Logbook was water damaged. Tftc!

Found by Pat & Cheryl at 10:24 am. Thanks for bringing us to this great location and helping us to increase our tally. Really enjoyed this cache Ned Kelly 123 and this is #1205 so far for us. Cache is a bit wet.

I thought it would be a relatively simple hike from the last cache to here. No such luck. Even with a map of the tracks, I missed this one. Drove over to the marsupial park, and took another track, and still got misled. Finally on the right path, and found the cache with the hint. Very wet contents including rusting scissors (!) needs a complete re-fill. Thanks for the exercise Ned

We are grateful this was an easy find as we'd lost our patience at the previous cache! It's nice to have something to break the uphill treck. Interesting sunnies in the cache, we tried them on but left them for someone else. TFTC.

There is room to take a break,have a sit ( dry out cache container) sign log leave something .and head up onwards...thanks Ned Kelly123...

Lovely walk.

He's found it! Says it's a little wet but not too bad. Now he's got a long way to go for flagstaff! You've got to love the ipad and iPhone when you're doing this sort of thing TFTC

Overshot GZ then bush bashed our way back. Found by GK6. There was water in the cache so we tipped it out and dried as best we could. TSLS, TFTC!

Ps happy birthday cache!

What a shame walkers can't be bothered to carry their empty water bottles back out with them!
The cache was nicely tucked away, and no muggles passed by while signing the log.
Left: a pair of disposable scissors, and Took a packet of matches - (did I really write that in my log book)
Sorry about the late logging - 11/5.

1635 GAFF1 Having had a short look for the lower cache on the track, and then having some muggles about to pass me just as I was coming up to where I would head off for this cache, I kept on going up the track for the trig at the top; and for MVMB to get the other cache, that I had already got some 14 months ago while in the area.
I was surprised at the number of casual walkers seen today, especially being 'mid-week'. Had already done the CITO thing and picked up some water bottles left thrown off to the side of the track.
At GZ I came across the first instance this weekend of the nastiness of the local cacti ! When an earlier cacher had visited the site they had dropped a silica gel sachet, and with the recent dry weather I thought I would pick it up and put it into the cache with a new ziploc bag. OUCH, didn't realise that there was a prickly hitch-hiker on the back of it! I had to get some forceps out of my back pack to pull it out, and even as I'm logging the find some 5 days later there is still considerable tenderness of where the barbed prickles were stuck into my finger tips. A bit different to the prickly pear that I'm a bit more used to.
With good coordinates the cache was quickly found, dry and intact. So left a Correct Site Marker.

Wow what a walk I was glad to reach here and quickly found the cache. I had a rest then continued on to the top, thanks.

Phew!! Wasn't as far up as I first thought, I guess it couldn't be too close to "raise the standard". Might us well keep going to the top.
Thanks for a top cache!!!

Without a doubt, it was time for a break! When we finally arrived here we were glad to easily find the cache and were leisurely signing the log, having a rest and getting some spit back in our mouths when we heard voices approaching. We had to scuttle out of there pretty quickly and believe me, scuttling was about the last thing we were capable of! FTF at 12.26pm. TFTC Ned Kelly 123, took TB, left 'Diggin' It TB'. An enjoyable heart pumping walk with lovely views along the way.
