Quick find here. Removed archived cache trash.Freddo and Team Waldron are heading north for a long delayed trip to the caching fields of Cunnamulla. This cache was found on our journey. Caches were fixed where necessary. Fresh log books added. Containers refreshed.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache.

Freddo and Team Waldron headed to warmer climes around Broken Hill, Cobar, Bourke, Cunnamullaand Charleville.After a cold start in Broken Hill the weather improved once we got further north. Sadly our last night in Broken was wet which, pardon the pun, put a dampener on things.All up it was a great week away and lots of caches were found with only 3 dnfs.Thanks to all who placed and maintained their caches. The occasional cache was damaged and we refurbished it and we also left new logbooks as required.We spoke to the cache owner before we left Adelaide and said we'd pick up all archived caches to reduce geo-litter.TFTC

Found today. Thanks

As i no longer travel through the area and with little assistance to fix a cracked lid it is time for these to go.
With a reviewer now wanting to rid the distance caches these are all going

Gotcha - Found easy enough. Tftc

Find #5761

Enjoying testing out the new geomobile wheels on a long road trip through western NSW from Gundagai, Junee, Temora, West Wyalong, Lake Cargelligo, Cobar, Bourke, and then up into QLD where the next leg of the journey will begin.

Collecting a few selected caches along the way and enjoying the brilliant autumn sunshine after all of the rain. It always great to be out in our great outdoors, making the most of the weather hail rain or shine, and enjoying the variety of caches in offer.

Thanks to honeysucker for putting out and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment!

Very cool

Quick park and grab with tassie expat while exploring this interesting area. Tftc. It's in good condition.

On a geocaching trip with Kimmy 533. Orange to Cobar. We enjoyed this trail and we enjoyed the countryside. Thankyou to all the cache owners.

This cache is one of numerous caches that I found on my trip from Cobar to Charleville. I found most of the caches were either too small (the area lends itself to much larger cahes than nanos, bison tubes and mint tins), the coordinates were out, or there was no real reason to have a cache there except to boost numbers. Which is a pity because the area is full of history and magnificent views and wonderful spots that geocaching could bring people.

I have this cache on my list of finds, so my name is in the log book, but I don't remember actually finding the cache.

I did however have an amazing drive, full of scenery. Just a pity about the caches.

Day 3 of a 4 day road trip. Today was Broken Hill to Cobar. Before turning in for the night I spent an hour finding as many of this trail as I could. Cache easily found. TFTC.

Thanks for creating this series of caches in beautiful outback countryside. Loving the drive. TFTC

We pondered whether it would be too hot to attack this series but with an overcast sky we thought we would give it a shot. Struggled to find this one but after reading the previous log we spotted it in its hole, way too deep to retrieve. Left a small clear decor container at base of tree under sticks with a fresh logbook.

Thanks honeysucker for the placement.

On our road trip and with thanx to the wife, she was the driver, while I jumped out and found all the caches in this PT. Some were easy, some were hard and some had us parking off the road away from the road trains and trucks. All in all, good trail. TFTC.

This was the first while we stopped to get ready, I walked over and found the cache, but it fell into the hole and I couldn't reach it, so unable to SL, but took photo.

A nice morning to get out and explore the powertrail along Kidman Way. Highlights of today’s caching run were the ever-present wildflowers, a blue tongued lizard that stopped for a photo shoot, and iconic Aussie outback scenery

Didn’t get to Andamooka as planned this year, for next. A quick find here

#11882 - 12:01:00 PM; 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. TFTC suckerfarmer maintained by Farmer--brown

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....

Found TFTC. Out and about from Qld.

My working day done time to enjoy some of the geocaches that Cobar has to offer.
Headed north collecting some but not all of the caches in this trail. Saving some for next time another reason for skipping some was that the rental car was not up to it

Thank you for hiding this geocache

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

TFTC ,


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.

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

Never heard of 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.

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 1640. Mary has several items of opal jewellery that is not worn while caching. Our thanks to honeysucker.

We don’t recall ever having been to Andamooka. I wonder if there are any caches there?
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

Thank you for the series, we enjoyed our morning finding them.

Thanks for the variety of cache containers.

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.

We followed the path to Andamooka.

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

Gday

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 last one of the 8 caches I found.

Well this was a different one we weren't expecting! I was looking at the wrong altitude first but once I got over that bias the cache was easily spotted and signing duties soon completed. Thanks for another honeysucker. I've also never been to Andamooka.

Find #8 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 = 319 total consisting of 302 Traditionals, 13 Multi and 4 Mystery

Found on my last day in Cobar on the road I'll be using as I leave tomorrow and I expect to find a few more of this series then as well. TFTC.

**# 17632** 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.
Thanks for the cache honeysucker,

We have been to Andamooka a couple of times as well and it reminds us a lot of the old Coober Pedy when the road was still dirt and they only had the occasional tourist.

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.

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 Didnt quite make this town on thus trip.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a different style of hide for this series. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks honeysucker for 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.

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. No problems finding this cache and the log was signed quickly before we headed on our way to continue the hunt. Thank you honeysucker for yet another cache in this power trail.

Andamooka hasn't been visited by either of us... retirement I guess. 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.

A free day while camping and water skiing to do some caching , off to Cobar and out the Bourke rd . Caching all the way back to Nyngan tnln

We decided to start this Power Trail from the end and we
really enjoyed doing it. We found 33 of the trail and
