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

A lovely town we have visited on past holidays. 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

Found with tassie expat while exploring around but phone access getting a bit scattery. Log was damp so we replaced it.

Log book very wet. Popped in a RITR log sheet. TFTC

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.

Checked in at my motel for the night I went out along the AT trail again. Close to a year since I was last in Cobar.
Made finds on all caches I attempted, leaving a few for next time.
Thank you for hiding these

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. Working northwards we admired the landscape around us.

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.

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

A quick find here

#11889 - 12:18:00 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.

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!

Series favourite here but only got the cacheing around this town. Tftc and tnln.

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.

Trackables that are with us are

*Worldwide traveller
*Nomads esu
*Bushie love
*Morepork
*Signal tag
*Miss jen
*Geocaching road trip 2015
*1500
*signal the surfing Aussie


Will be dropping a few of these when we find a cache that is big enough.

Our own personal Trackable " Cache the World " has the code #1WDM83
Its mission is to be discovered by cachers all around the world, please feel free to discover it and mention where you saw its code.

Once again thanks for the cache.

Tftc. All good here.

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

Funny story near by, did not rain for months and water became algae. Little did we know until it was too late, we had a reaction .. not pretty

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.

TFTC. Staying here for three days at the caravan park..so thought we would knock these over

Found,ants!

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

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 1610. Last time there, a few months ago, we ate at the historic Bridgeport Hotel, on the corner overlooking the River, and East Terrace was all blocked off. Staff said a large water main had burst and the road had just collapsed. Our thanks to honeysucker.

We went to Murray Bridge and took a photo of it with a train crossing the railway section of it.
But my mind wanders, there’s caches the be found.
Congratulations on excellent coordinates by the way, it’s making finding them a pleasure, even Muggle Hubby is enjoying himself.

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

Enjoyed doing the series, many thanks.

TFTC

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 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

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.

Well this one was not hidden at all, unless you count the tree as camo? Anyway it doesn't matter out here, I'm sure it won't get muggled. The best thing about caching is it breaks up the trip, and otherwise I'm sure this area wouldn't get any attention otherwise. We are laughing at some of the geotrails around these caches, even with the time between finds - yet I still always manage to go the long way from the car! I love Murray Bridge too, I went to the 2014 Mega (my first) and thoroughly enjoyed it and the area.

Found on the way north to Bourke this morning and taking a final bite of the AT series for this trip, have to leave a few fro future trips. TFTC.

Find #15 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 = 326 total consisting of 309 Traditionals, 13 Multi and 4 Mystery

Found while travelling back from Qld, taking the long way around, a finding a few caches without GPSr working, only using an iPad with limited service, but this was one of the few I found, Thanks to suckerfarmer, and Farmer--brown for placing and maintaining these hides

**# 17639** 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,
***Roostaman***

Murray Bridge is a town that most of us know very well after the mega was held there. and it's also not a bad spot to stay when you are doing the wandering heroes series., another very nice town with great coffee and bakeries.

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

A quick find on our way to Bourke. 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 We attended our first oz mega at murray bridge

Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find of a well hidden cache. 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.

Hello Murray Bridge TFTC

seems maintenance has been done by a great cacher

A nice drive-by cache completed – thanks - TFTC / TFTH / SL

Nice quick find. Thanks

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.

Cache was broken so we replaced it and added a new log.

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

The container for this cache is totally destroyed and needs to be replaced urgently.

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. Sadly this cache was utterly destroyed. We found the cache container smashed and the contents scattered. We had a spare zip lock bag on hand so after signing the log we put it into that bag and then placed all the scrap pieces together in a small pile. This one definitely needs maintenance as soon as possible. (See photo).

Been to Murray Bridge although we can't say we loved it. Thanks for the hide.

On my Australia trip 2015/2016 visited. Thx for the cache. Cheers Peter

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
found another as well.
Thanks to every one who placed the caches.
A great Power Trail.

Our apologies for the same message throughout.

Container broken so we placed it in a large Zip Lock Bag.

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. We were here last month as part o the Classic Car ReRun Rally, actually stayed the night. Normally we drive straight through to get to WA or Adelaide. Now I have friends who live here

The cache was a quick ride by on the pushbike this morning
Damn those flies !! [:o]
And the day was warming up to !!
Time for a fizzy cola

Being an Adelaide boy, I have visited Murray Bridge heaps of times over the years.
Last visit was for the Mega Event in April 2014

Another place that was a bit dodgy to pull up at. Container very cracked and has a small hole but contents fine. 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..

Thanks for the hide.
