#13884 Three days on the road from Sydney to Mudgee, with the main objective of finding and logging the TRLT-North. It was an enjoyable drive, across dirt roads and some beautiful scenery. Day 1 we camped overnight at Hill End and day 2 we pitched out tent in Mudgee. The caches were easily found so the focus was fully on the journey through our Mid Western region of NSW.TFTC to all cache owners for maintaining this great series.

Stayed nearby overnight and grabbing anything along the way.Most hides where found after a short search. Loved the different containers and hides.Thanks for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

Found with irondale TFTC

Day 2 of our Mudgee to Orange weekend, we're taking the back roads (those less traveled!) to Bathurst. The car GPS spent all day in vain trying to convince us to turn here and there, but we took the longest way possible I'm sure.... Another day of great conditions, maybe a little too hot, and we made 50 GC finds, with a pair of GA as a bonus.
Container lid is broken, we tried to rehide it to discourage water entry, but it will likely get pretty wet, needs replacing..... TFTC

Found today on our road trip on the section from Mudgee to Bathurst, had an amazing time on this section, caches generally in great condition, hints were also very helpful!

With COVID19 locking everyone down for so long, a MUCH overdue geocaching mission was welcomed. FurfacesLL #1 and myself decided to head towards Bathurst and attack some of the TRLT caches and see how far we can go. Spoke to a few of the CO's prior to heading up to see if we could assist with any maintenance that was required, so we went prepared with some camo containers and some fresh log books. We had a wonderful weekend stretching the legs and enjoying the country side.

Another nice easy find whilst travelling south along the TRLT trail. No issues locating the cache here, signed and replaced.

Thanks for the hide alnic39 And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others

Day 2
With the COVID19 restrictions lifting, we decided to head to the Bathurst area this long weekend on a Geomission with Rapidlywild. Our intention was to attack the TRLT trail and others around the area.
We had a great four days, only a few DNF’s but mostly smiley's, and have left plenty for another adventure. Lovely area to cache in and we look forward to coming back for some more fun and laughs.

Picked this one up along our journey as well.

Thanks for the hide alnic39, Lachnic62 and Zobo66 and thanks Rapidlywild for another great weekend away.

Day 2 of Mudgee TRLT series. Reasonable start to the day and another road done. a couple of DNF's but thats geocaching.

Thanks alnic39, Lachnic62 and Zobo66 for placing this cache for us to find.

On a big weekend caching with oldmorty and Frazeydaze and logs have signed OMF. 
Would like to thank all cache owners, for making and maintaining the caches.

OCW frazerdaze and marj01. House sitting at White Rock for a week has provided an opportunity to do some geocaching runs around Bathurst - mainly TRLT series indispersed with a number of trads and puzzle caches. During the day we saw lovely scenery, lots of sheep and cattle, a few foxes and one deer in the forestry area. We even encountered fire persons doing a burn off which included two of the caches we were chasing. Please excuse the generic logs and thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches and adding to our enjoyment. For expediency all logs were signed OMF.

Found with RangerNed and geotoddler. Toddler finding the act of swaps hard to concept, wanting to take everything and leave nothing. Lots of lessons being taught today. TFTC

Too easy! Can't wait for a bigger challenge! Geokid spotted this easily! TeamScozzie assisted! Tftc

Out on a caching roadtrip for a few day over the holidays I stopped in here to look and find this hide.
It sure has been a really enjoyable scenic country drive.
With so many finds I appoligise for my repeated logs.
Thanks to all the CO for placing their caches along the way
Cheers

This was in full view when we arrived so we tried to make it a little less obvious before we left. Thanks for the cache.

Mudgee trip for The Road Less Traveled series. Day 3. Sofala to Mudgee via Hill End and lots more back roads. The main focus of this trip was more of the TRLT series, so it was good to get back to work on the main goal.

Out with Snoopy1976 this weekend completing some of the TRLT caches. Most were easy finds but some took a little longer to find. TFTC

Quick find....out doing this series with dave8153 as my goal is to get 5000 for the OZ geomuster. TFTC

We are staying at the Mudgee showgrounds and with this extreme heat we headed out early and got back to the caravan by mid afternoon and the comfort of the aircon. We enjoy these rural locations and this was one of the caches we targetted and found. We appreciated the extra effort put into some of the caches to provide a more creative hide. Thanks to alnic39 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

On a two day caching trip with GeodudeAU to cover more of TRLT series and others from Carcalgong-Mudgee-Gulgong-Ilford-Capertee-Lithgow. We had 90 finds and only a few DNFs for our efforts. A great couple of days exploring the Central Tablelands seeing some amazing places we wouldn't normally visit. We even survived the mini-hurricane that swept through our campsite along the Cudgegong River at TSR (Cullenbone)! Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches. Most were in good order and easily found with the help of handy hints to get CIH.

A pinch and a punch for the ninth of the month! We had a rockin' time. TFTC

Out with Brewmaker for a 2 day trip finding caches along The Road Less Travelled series. On this day 1 we started around Carcalgong and then headed north through Windeyer, Grattai and Erudgere before finally camping overnight at Mudgee.
It was an enjoyable journey through the countryside seeing farm and native animals along the way. There was only a little bit of light rain at times today, which didn't cause a problem.
We found all of the caches very easily (with just one providing a longer search). Most of the caches were in good order, so all in all it was a good day's caching. Thanks to all of the COs for providing this trail

After a pleasant night at the Old Bara camp site, we set out for another day of caching along The Road Less Travelled. This time we headed south, starting from where we had started but headed north the day before.

Another cache not belonging to the TRLT series, not none the less a nice find.

Have finished the family xmas duties and we are now free to cache yipee, so here we come trlt series. These are the sort of caches we love, getti g out and about into the country. Great effort getting this series going and keeping up with maintenance thanks to all the COs. Day 2 of our series heading up toward mudgee. Tftc

Another nice easy find.

1/10/17. 3:02 PM. Cache #5369.
33rd of 71 finds today.

Day 2 of the long weekend for which I have come up to plunder caches in the Mid West Regional council. Now on to the main leg of the day, The Road Less Travelled; I followed the trail up though Pyramul, Carcalgong, Windeyer, Grattai, Collingwood, Erudgere and Piambong - 62 caches in 6 hours including a handful of non-TRLT caches. TFTC to all the COs involved.

Sorry it's mostly going to be a copy/paste affair, but there will be the occasional extra commentary where anything of note happened...
} : )

This was one of the non-TRLT caches; most of them were around Windeyer. Thanks for the specific hint!

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Found as part of a weekend away with Hoojar. We headed up towards Gulgong the first night and camped near the start/ end of TRLT (@ -5 degrees ). The next day we made it through some nice historic places and great rolling countryside to finish up at Sunny Corner after a feed in Bathurst. The next day a few more finds before we headed home. Plenty of roadkill spotted, not many cars and not too much trouble at each cache. Thanks to all those cache hiders .

The opportunity finally arose that Steeba and I both had a free weekend to go caching. We quickly settled upon the northern half of The Road Less Traveled series. We drove to Gulgong via Mudgee after work on Friday, camping just before midnight at the suggested TSR nearby.

Saturday we made our way via the caching trail, and the odd additional cache, to Bathurst for dinner, then back onto the trail to Sunny Corner where we again camped for the evening.

Sunday we turned our heads for home, via a few additional cache stops in Portland and Wallerawang.

A fantastic weekend away, with excellent country to be seen and company to be had. We enjoyed the caches that we found.

Thank you to all of the cache owners, and sorry for the boiler-plate logs!

Cheers

Big logs spotted here too. someones been round with a chainsaw but no problem with the cache. now which way am I heading to from here.... tftc

14145. Found during a run through the Bathurst to Mudgee region this long weekend.

Having completed the southern part of TRLT series last month I had the northern part of the series on my radar for this long weekend - plus as many extras as there are along the way. Leaving home this morning I was caching before lunch on the outskirts of Bathurst heading north. All but two of today's caches were found and all were nicely hidden with good sized containers. This was the next find for the day. Getting dark now so out came the torch. Quick find at GZ. Log signed, cache replaced, and I headed off to the next one.

Thanks to all the COs for their caches - it was a great run up through this area.

TNLN - TFTC !!

2/5/17 Found with muppet95. Muppet95 mentioned to me that he was keen to hit up The Road Less Travelled series and we decided to take a few days off to go on a bit of a road trip. I wanted to shoot for a goal of finding at least 200 caches in a 24 hours period and we made plans accordingly. We drove up to Gulgong on the first day and arrived in the early afternoon. We started The Road Less Travelled series there and headed south towards Mudgee, picking up approximately 30 geocaches on the way. We spent the night camping on the outskirts of Mudgee and had an early night, with the expectation of an early start to have the best chance of reaching our goal of 200 caches the next day. At the crack of dawn on day 2, we packed up camp and set out on the trail, finding our first for the day at 7 AM. We then spent the next 14 hours travelling The Road Less Travelled, caching the series and picking up some additional caches along the way. We powered on well after the light of day had disappeared, because we were on a mission and were resolute in our efforts to achieve our goal for the day. We reached a point, down near Gurnang in the pine forest, where the area a cache in the series was supposed to be had been logged and we could not continue, without backtracking and going the long way around. We made the decision to turn around and head back to Oberon, where we would pick up the last remaining few to reach our target number. I am very sad to say that on the way out of the pine forest, a wombat ran out as we were driving past and was struck by the underside of the car. We stopped immediately and I rushed over to its aid. The poor thing was in not in a good way and I did what I could to provide some comfort but it faded away within a matter of minutes. The accident is very distressing and upsetting, and it put a real dampener on a long and tiring day. There was nothing we could do at that point, so we continued on our way back to Oberon, picking up some more caches in town. We reached our campsite and setup, keen to rest up and have a deserved sleep in. It was another cold night, definitely dropping below zero degrees. We woke in the morning and, after packing up, we made our way back to the big smoke. Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners, and for putting this series together, which takes us on a different route along the Road Less Travelled. We will have to come back at another point in the future to try and finish off the series, and hope that one day the series may be extended further for everyone’s enjoyment.

On the way through with TRLT Series. This was one of the extras we picked up on the trail. Thanks for the cache!

Found this one last year but somehow neglected to log it! Revisited again today at 11.30. TFTC! : )

Staying in Gulgong and decided to tackle some of the TRLT series. We had a great day exploring the countryside. This cache was found by 'F'. SL TNLN Thanks to the cache owners for their time in putting this series together.

Found when geodad did a check on it this weekend.

Another day Heading north today to do a some more of the TRLT series. Quick find TFTC

With a new GPS in hand I was on a mission today to find geocaches and see some of the countryside after all the rain we have had. I had to wait out a bit of traffic on this one; who would have thought... TFTC SL It was now that I either head for home or continue on to find more..... More geocaches me thinks...

Found, swapped & SL! TFTC

Up from Canberra on a solo geomission to Bathurst, Mudgee and surrounds The focus of the weekend was to attack as many of the TRLT series as I could as well as any others along the way!

Made the find on this one while doing the TRLT trail. Would be rude not to! Quick find at GZ [^]

Thanks for the hide, alnic39

On a caching adventure to Mudgee with pprass we set out to see some country side and some interesting caches.

Another great find- lovely drive and exploring Mudgee- Mudgee is a really pretty place.

Thanks for the cache alnic39, Lachnic62 and Zobo66

Found at 3:10 PM GAFF1 in the company of Team Nurse Hayley.
Meandering our way around this lovely country side we are really enjoying the caches that have been placed here. Love to know how the name of the road came about.
Thanks alnic39.

Out and about exploring the Mudgee area with CAD - the sun is trying to peep through the clouds... Enjoying our day out caching in this area Soon spotted what we were looking for T4TC:) #3777

On a slightly damp Sunday around Mudgee with the Bug TFTC 20th

TFTC.An ants nest made for an interesting recovery. The long way home after some working weekend assignments.

Day four of our five day geocaching trip from Brisbane to Canberra for Easter. Today we cached from Gulgong to Sofala, on the road not so often traveled, working for our 100-in-a-day challenge.

We are caching for 100 or more: that is our aim, so nice quick finds are the order of the day. So these logs will be rather generic - written up after the trip is well and truly over.

The country we traversed was wonderfully varied - a few Ks of sealed road but the majority was gravel - easily handled by our GeoFalcon, although we laughed several times at how the white dust (in sharp contrast to the usual brown and red of Queensland) made it look like a ghost car.

We crossed many causeways, traversed valleys and crossed mountain ridges. Scenery was magnificent. All in all we have only two DNFs in the total trail, so that was a bonus.

Would we recommend this trail? An unequivocal YES!

I wonder why it is called Queen's Pinch? The Hint led us straight to the cache.

Found at 1.20pm on 23rd March 2016. TFTC.

We discovered all those many a couple of days ago.

We have solved all the interesting mysteries before we started our trip to the Mid Western Region of NSW.

Day 1

We started the day in Meadow Flat, followed by Sunny Corner and Dark Corner past Palmers Oakley.
We loved the hilly nature along many peaceful Gravel roads. Many smilies were forming on our map.
We finished the day in Bathurst.

Day 2

We started all fresh again in the morning. Leaving Bathurst, we were able to get going about faster along the sealed road.
We reached Sofala at around lunch time. We couldn't believe that about 40,000 used to live here. It really seemed that the city stopped developing in around the 1850's..
We continued towards Hills End and Windeyer through dry grassy land in 47 degrees heat.
We spend such a beautiful night here in Windeyer in the caravan park. We booked one of the train accomodation where you got to stay in the train back in time. What a great experience. We really liked Windeyer as it seemed so far away from all the city rush. Te locals were very welcoming and were happy to see us in the pub next door for dinner.
What a great community living were it seems like everyone knows everyone.

Day 3

We left Windeyer after a big breakfast. We travelled along Hills End Road until we reached the turn towards another Gravel road. There wer many animals to watch and it got even hotter and hotter.
This day ended in Mudgee.

Day 4

We took a look at Mudgee city today were we searched for a couple of caches and ten continued towards Rylstone.
After we continued to the Wollemi National Park which a good friend recommended us to go. Here we climbed on the top of the mountain and simply enjoyed the stunning view and the tranquil nature.
After, we traveled towards Kandos, Capertee, Cullen Bullen, Portland and Wallerawang back home to Sydney.

We hereby would like to thank all owners for this great interesting tour. We got to see many historical places and sometimes felt like as if we were living back in the the 1850's, which is a good thing.

Thanks
Team sissifalke

Found it with ALL7 in 2016

#3419- Sometimes you get this preconceived idea about where you think something will be, only to find it somewhere different. Life can be like that. Thanks

We completed this series over 3 1/2 days in total, with a side trip to Hill End which we thoroughly enjoyed. We were heading homeward bound after a couple of weeks on the road, touring and caching around southern Queensland and NSW, and this series topped off a great holiday. Thanks to all COs for their efforts in placing these caches and making this series possible. TFTC!
