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 town I have visited many times. 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

Another quick find with frmen1. Good condition. TFTC

Found with tassie expat while exploring this interesting area. Sorry about the genetic log, phone service very dicey. Refer to tassie expat answers for more. Thanks for placing this series.

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.

Day 9 of the long road trip from Western Australia to Townsville, Queensland for the Mega.

Leaving New South Wales today and ended up reaching Charleville in Queensland doing a few caches along the way as well as an Adventure Lab at Cunnamulla.

Cache found without problems. Log signed and cache returned as it was found.

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 4 of a 4 day road trip. Today was from Cobar back to Canberra. Before heading south I finished this power trail. 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 continued in the heat now wearing our straw hats.

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.

Good condition.

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

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 48 heat. SO HOT

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!

Found while travelling from Cobar to Burke on a new nsw adventure. Tftc tnln. Full summary at gc4fcc4.

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

Passed thru this place several times while living in Victoria, Bendigo

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.

Making our way northward for QOGM 2019 in Blackall Qld.
Enjoying the countryside and grabbing some caches on our way.

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,
Today we were allowed to leave our van at the Caravan Park in Cobar (Staff are cachers) while we went out to finish the AT Series. Finished it about 10AM collected the van and it was time to head towards Broken hill.
Visited trackables.

Stayed in Cobar overnight, left the van, came back out to finish the trail. This end of the trail the containers have been maintained a little better than the ones closer to town. Did a bit of a CITO, but the area needs a lot of cleaning up. Quick find, signed log and replaced. Thanks to honeysucker.

Found by Mary & David at 1530. It has been pouring rain here this afternoon, and there is running water everywhere. Carefully made our way to GZ and spotted the cache almost underwater. When we removed the rocky camo, the container bobbed up! Only a little water inside, and the log was safe in its bag. Moved the lot less than a metre to higher ground. Our thanks to honeysucker.

Now Swan Hill is a great place to visit. It has quite a few Geocaches there, apart from other tourist attractions like the Pioneer Village. Well worth a visit. Very lush and green, but we are enjoying the vast difference of the landscape here.

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

Enjoying this series whilst staying in Cobar on our way home to WA. TFTC

The road pull off was a little tricky whereabouts. Ta anyway

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.

A SPOR at this one enabled me to find it quite quickly. I love the colour difference between the rocks in this area and the red dirt. Oh, the log in this one is sopping wet.

Heading to Bourke from Cobar and decided to pull the van over and try to find our previous DNF’s in this series from three years ago

For some reason this one is very wet. Didn’t have easy access to our caching supplies so carefully added our name to the soaked log

Many thanks for the hide and the series suckerfarmer[^]

Find #22 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 = 333 total consisting of 316 Traditionals, 13 Multi and 4 Mystery

**# 17647** 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 visited Swan Hill a few times, we have friends that live there and we were even at an event there earlier this year but we still have to return to find the many caches still waiting for our name to be added to the log.

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.

Enjoyed to complete all the series.. On the way to Stanthorpe for event.
Thanks honeysucker for organising the cache and hunt [^]

Day 2 of our stay in Cobar waiting for mech repairs. Thankfully we have a hire car and can get out and do some caching. Tftc Visited here as a child great memories

Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. We stopped at this spot for a few minutes to watch a good scrap between two kites and about ten crows. The kites eventually forced the crows to leave. Thanks honeysucker for the cache.

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

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 Swan Hill TFTC

LOVED THE TRAIL COBAR TO BOURKE
TFTC

Found it!
This is the cache along this trail I was aiming for today. When I arrived at GZ, I found the usual beacon pile of rocks and thought - "WHAT! NO CACHE! Muggled in the middle of nowhere? I needed that for GeosportZ!". Flustered and wondering how I was going to meet the Badminton Challenge now, I stepped back and looked toward my car. Wait... it can't be... IT IS!
YAY!

I've been to Swan Hill as a child and remembered it enough to know I have always wanted to return. Not sure whether it was the boats or the old buildings or all the people in costumes or what it was that I loved so much as a child, but I shall find out again when revisiting some day soon I hope. Did they film any of All the Rivers Run here? Maybe I saw a film crew doing their thing?

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

My home state

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.

Replaced the container and added a new logsheet.

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. This cache container also had lots of water in it. We could not sign the log as it was just very soggy pulp and needs to be replaced urgently. All was put back and we then moved on to hopefully find caches in better condition. Thank you for so many caches along this trail.

We were in Swan Hill this time last year... and my sister lived there once. Thanks for the hide.

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

Our apologies for the same message throughout.

Log is very damp...

Visiting geohubby while he is off work at one of the nearby mines, while the kids are on their school holidays in Victoria. Glad the weather is not too hot or cold to attempt this series. Thanks for the great series. We have definitely stayed here as party of a Classic Car ReRun Rally a few years ago. Need to stay there to see the paddle steamers.

I was beginning to hallucinate in the increasing heat and ever growing cloud of flies as I rode the bike ever northwards
Even the cache containers were starting to appear in fluorescent shades [:o)]
A nice easy find after a couple of DNF's,

TFTC, and memories of finding caches in Swan Hill in August this year !!

You guys must sure use a lot of this washing powder!! I've believed for a long time that geocachers are the ultimate re-cyclers though.
This container was saturated and as I was unable to write on the log I just left one of our stickers in there. Thanks.

Found by Peter and Marian, TFTC. Took Farmer Brown Pathtag.

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..

all replaced and ready to go

Unarchiving cache.
