As borders close no chance of doing maintenance

#11892 - 11:52:00 AM; After spending the night in Lake Cargelligo, day two of a mission through the Central West of New South Wales with Sol de lune to grab some of the dragonZones and counties to our west continues. Today's travels took us from Lake Cargelligo past Murrin Bridge, into Cobar, Bourke, Brewarrina, Walgett and on to Carinda to overnight. We collected finds in Lachlan, Cobar, Brewarrina and Walgett dragonZones and counties along the way. After collecting a few caches on the way to and through Cobar, we stopped for a bite to eat before making a start on this series. Time was against us collecting everything, but we foundall of theb caches we stopped for. A couple are showing the effects of the weather, but managed to add our names to all of the logs.

Out on a road trip with LuckyL10n to grab a few LGA's in outback NSW that we still had to visit including Bland, Carrathool, Lachlan, Cobar, Brewarrina, Walgett, Coonamble as well as grabbing a few caches in previously visited zones.

We found about 20 in this particular series before our time ran out and it we had to head of. No doubt we'll be back this way again sometime.

Thanks for series....

Another early start from Broken Hill for our caching trip with Wilbert67.
Trip so far has been quiet good except the COVID-19 that made us do a trip diversion.
Now travelling to Cobar and picking up caches along the way.
Thanks to all the COs for the placements of their hides.
Glad for a quick find in the 40+ heat.

After a very hectic day we managed to escape SA, Ending up in Wentworth way after midnight. This morning on day 6 of our road trip it was re planning time, no caches for hundreds of kilometers either way. So we ended up heading to Broken Hill and Silverton. Great caching day, but again very hot!

Headed out on a 10 day trip to outback NSW with fitzy_1965 and albida33.

Day 2 saw us head from Warren to Cobar. Our main aim was to complete this AT series. In logs we signed as MK, F65 & A33.

Quick find here today.

West New South Wales trip 2020. Day 2. I was joined by MinnieK and Fitzy_1965 for a trip planned to go from Goulburn to Forbes, Nyngen, Cobar, Broken Hill, Wentworth and Balranald. After a sleep in we left our overnight stop at Warren and headed to Cobar via Nyngen. There were a few caches along the way, but most of the action was the Australian Towns series North of Cobar, and a great selection of local caches. The two Earth caches were the highlight.

We headed out of town for the AT series next, all but one was a smooth find.

Thanks for the cache honeysucker

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 Cobar for a few days and will try to get some caches in town and surrounding areas. We hope we can make a few smilies here to add to our find tally. We are looking forward to the variety of hides we will encounter. Thank you for your work in placement and ongoing effort for maintenance of caches.

Heading back home to Queensland and we stopped to do this cache. Sure is quiet out here. Managed to say a quick gidday from an appropriate social distance to Mr and Mrs Honeysucker who were out this way (give a couple of hundred kms or so). Provided maintennace as required. Our thanks to honeysucker for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

After setting up the caravan at the Cornish Rest Stop, and ventured out in town and along the AT Trail. Unfortuately the trail is in need of some love. We had to replace a couple of the containers and others will need replacing soon.

We wanted to end the year & the decade with a geocaching bang & what better way to do that than with a power trail!?! Some of the towns we'd been to & others we hadn't even heard of. Mostly they were easy to find. TFTC

Mom nope don’t think this town..

Found during a road trip from Adelaide via Broken Hill, Cobar, Bourke, Walgett, Glen Innes, Tenterfield and Lismore to Brisbane. The Aussie Towns series was the target series for the trip having been on the radar ever since it came out, and I'm very happy that all caches were found while travelling through the area from Cobar to Bourke! Thanks for the cache and series honeysucker and farmer--brown!

TFTC. We camped in Cobar for the night,. As it was still early we decided to head back up the highway towards Bourke to attempt the caches in the AT series. We have been on the road for the last 7 years and have travelled through or visited most of the towns on this series. Interesting reading the description. Most in this series were in good our order and at the listed GZ. A couple were closer to the road than indicated due to some fence clearing.. All findable, though. Just need to look a bit further afield.

Day 2 of our journey to QOGM in Blackall, Qld.
Who would've thought that when we married 40 years ago, we would be spending our anniversary caching our way to Qld, but that is what we are doing.
Decided to do some of this power trail today before heading north tomorrow.

Heading back to QLD from Sydney via the western regions and I picked up some caches along the way and this was one of them along with the others on the power trail.

A short search and the cache was in hand.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Out on a caching run with blingg. Quick find

Staying at the local caravan park for a few days , today was the day to find the caches on the power trail on the Kidman Way plus a couple of others , most were easy finds although two or three took a bit of a search to find
TFTC

Another great day with Pa as my chauffeur. Staying in Cobar again in order to get lots more smilies after attending the inaugural QOGM (Queensland Outback Geo Muster) in Barcaldine. All the caches were found, some faster than others, some in better condition than others and some closer to their GZ than others.
A huge thanks to the COs, their maintenance providers and the other cachers who provide maintenance eg Maccamob, Cybergran V and Felix. Apologies to all those not named.
All logs were returned to their hidey holes after my name had been added to the log, although sometimes it was SG if that was more appropriate.

Found today on our way south from QOGM at Barcaldine, signed log and replaced. Thanks to honeysucker. Many of this series needs some maintenance, it's great to see that someone has put some replaced the logs and containers out. The area needs a CITO badly, shame we didn't have time to clean it up.

TFTC,
Today was an easy drive from the Queensland border to Cobar and collecting a few caches. After leaving the van at a Caravan Park it was time to head out and get a few more of the Power trail caches. Still need to do about 20 tomorrow to complete the series.
Visited trackables.

Found by Mary & David at 1655. Good to see many big trucks loaded with hay still heading north. Our thanks to honeysucker.

My turn to find one. A lovely morning for a stroll in the bush, especially when there’s the enjoyment of finding a cache as well.
Thanks for another smiley to help us enjoy our journey from Cobar to Bourke. Muggle Hubby and I are enjoying this adventure.

Day 5 of the trek to the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster but there was no trekking today. Spent the day caching around Cobar taking in the sights. 60 finds for the day. TFTC

Spent the morning caching out Kidman Way, loved the series. Many thanks.

A few trucks happening by now.

Traveling home via Snowtown, Broken Hill, Cobar, Dubbo, Forbes, West Wyalong &Temora, finding a good variety of cache types and hides. I visited some interesting historical towns and bush locations, which made the round trip well worth the drive.

I did as much maintenance as I could, replacing damaged containers and full or wet logs.
Signed and replaced.

Many thanks for placing this cache, honeysucker, for us and others to find.

Found with Geokid. It was a little soggy. We emptied the water. TFTC

Nearly,but not quite, stumped by this one farmers2.

Found while pottering around Cobar today prior to making my way to the Gundabooka National Park to have a look at the fantastic Yapa rock art site. Unfortunately I lost interest with this repetitive series after the first few and skipped to the last couple. Nevertheless, Thanks honeysucker for the cache.

We were on our way to Cobar from Bourke and decided to tackle this series. Accurate coords led to quick find. A great way to break the trip. Looked for all 36 and found 35 with only 1 DNF. TFTC

Found it

A day to ourselves... wow... been busy working for so long now. Heading north of here to pick up an oversize load so we decided to do some caching on our way. Thank you for placing this cache. TNLN.

Dropped MizzJane off at the local Craft shop, I had an 1/2 an hour to get as many caches as I could on the Kiddman Way.
This was the 4th of 8 caches I found.

Find #4 of 36 caches found for the day and 1 DNF

Thanks suckerfarmer for placing this one in the series of treasurea that we found today.

The total count for the day was 36 consisting 36 Traditional with 1 DNF

Grand Cache count = 315 total consisting of 298 Traditionals, 13 Multi and 4 Mystery

**# 17628** Found on the NSW leg of our 2017 winter escape trip.
Another fine Spring day for a drive along the AT series at Cobar.
Not many muggles around today, and a good quick find here.
I don't think we have been to this place yet, maybe soon though.
There is also a small Echidna camped right under the cache.
Thanks for the cache honeysucker,

This is another little town that not only we have visited since starting caching and if nothing else this game has surely got us around a bit.

We have found quite a few different towns series since we began Geocaching and we always enjoy knowing if we have been to the town or not and it's another interesting way to put out a small power trail that can be added to by others to keep the series growing. For the person caring for these caches we hope that it doesn't grow like the Wandering Heroes has.
We were lucky enough to find all in this series with no DNF's and also happy to say that we know each of the teams that have added to the series and had a bit of a laugh that all were originally Victorian cachers.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find

I'm a couple of days late logging these ones
Returned to Cobar due to my travelling plans being changed due to road closures in the west
Australian Towns was a great series to do and I think that there is only one or two towns that I haven't been to
Parked close by even with the caravan behind me Coords were spot on and an easy find
Thanks suckerfarmer and Farmer--brown TFTC

We had an overnight stop in Cobar on our rush trip home to WA. We decided to be up early and disconnect from the caravan and attempt all of the Australian Town Caches. Happy to say we found the whole series.

thanks

Ian & Sue - Team Pathfinder uses T.P. to sign smaller logs.

Found at 1304. TFTC.

Day 3 of our enforced extended stay in Cobar while the tow vehicle gets fixed. Thought we would let the hire car experience caching again so of we head to knock over the rest of the towns. Tftc

Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. the cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks honeysucker fro the cache.

Found it with sevabo & Dolphia. Thank you for bringing us here. (Sorry for late log)

30th day, found with skyejam & sevabo! TFTC

Lovely day outing for geocaching today before go heading to Dubbo after trail thanks for leading us here

After leaving dubbo at lunch time, we made it to cobar in time to have a crack at this power trail with team lewin, towards the end we started logging the caches as AB & TL in order to beat the sun going down. All up it took just under 2 hours from cobar and back to cobar. Thanks for this series and thanks for the adventure. This would have to be one of my favorite power trails so far, the caches were all different and there was plenty of space to pull off and park.

Wow! Afternoon arriving in Cobar for the night in the mid afternoon we decided to tackle the Aussie towns trail against the fading light. Just under two hours we found all but one cache (dnf). In a bid to get back to camp before dark we took turns at sprinting from the car to each gz.

After the trail we decided to give the final cache a favourite point for the fun we had. After all we had scratches up to our knees from branches and some new sort of grass I've never seen before. As we were going along towards the end some cachea were logged as TL and AB short for Team Lewin and aussieben.

This one was starting to really grind the gears. Started to leave and thought I'd give it one more crack! Alas! TFTC!

A nice drive by cache completed – went around in cycles on this 1 - thanks - TFTC / TFTH / SL

This will have to do for the day have to get the rest another day

Travelling around Australia.

After a full on month visiting WA we are now back in our Caravan and making making for Birdsville.

After overnighting at Cobar, it was a morning of chores before finally heading out to find a cache or 2 after 2pm.

A day of caching in Cobar. Completed the power trail. All were quick finds. Thanks for placing and ahowcasing this great town with caches to attract me to come and explore the area.Tftc

Just thought we would spend this morning doing this power trail along the Kidman Way. It was a very mixed bunch of containers in varying conditions. There were no problems with this one and all the cache in this series have been easy finds so far. This one was also in good condition and after the log had been signed everything was replaced where it was found. Thank you honeysucker for this series.

Have never heard of Pine Point, let alone been to it, so we'll have to go cache it. Thanks for the hide.

Gangstella, MrGT and I had an hour to kill in Cobar on Saturday afternoon so Gangstella and I decided to have a go at some of the geocaches out on this highway. MrGT wasn't in it so just sat in the car on his phone (yawn).

We had a good clean run till MrGT got fed up with all the stopping and starting and made us turn around. Haha

A few of the containers along here are badly damaged and need replacing. Sorry I can't recall which ones as we did so many in a row without logging till later. If anyone reads this and can take replacement containers, please do. They are mostly between 200 and 750ml sized.

TFTC!

Quick stop tftc

Quick find as we were working along the AT series

We decided to start this Power Trail from the end and we
really enjoyed doing it. We found 33 of the trail and
found another as well.
Thanks to every one who placed the caches.
A great Power Trail.

Our apologies for the same message throughout.

Visiting hubby on the school holidays while he is on his swing off work at a local mine. We had already done from the North to one before Lismore coming back South. Took only the Geoboy to have some one on one time with him, heading North this time. Thanks for this awesome series. Never been here.

Heading north on the Kidman way by bicycle this morning, I found meself at the virtual version of Pine Point
I was trying hard to remember where that towne was, as I grew up in the mid-north of SA

Oh !! Pine Point is on the Yorke Peninsula, between Ardrossan and Port Julia
I haven't visited Pine Point since the mid nineties !! Never found a cache there !!
One day soon

I found this cache today, along with me entourage of flies

Thought we might have to miss some of these due to the soft shoulder on the side of the road due to recent heavy rain. Being in a campervan and not a 4WD made some of them a bit tricky to access and this was one that fell in that category. Cache was very exposed and quickly found. Thanks.

Found by Peter and Marian, TFTC.

Had time to kill after an aborted trip to Camron Corner due to the recent rains, so decided to do some of this power trail. Some great hides and some that seam to have been moved by the rain? Also where the new fence has been built further up the trail there are a few missing..
