Thanks for the cache! w [@ReiamX](https://coord.info/PR1PTDCA)

A bonus cache along the way before we lose reception.This town is close to home, but we are not right now.

One my way to the mega event in Adelaide with TBU1BIKESUTftc ian -and -penny

We are on the way from North Brisbane to Adelaide for the MEGA Leapyear 2024. We stop for interesting spots and combining it with finding caches.This was one of them. This is the sort of traveller caches how they should be: room for caravans and not too difficult to find - just to break the drive. A fav point from me! Tftc ian-and-penny

After several visits to Cobar to race Cliffhanger 4wd Event, this year we had time to stop and take in the sights of this diverse townTftc

An outback adventure with the kids saw us travelling to Bourke. I just had to stop and find these ones knowing most of the owners and one was my home town! We scared a big fat wild pig here which was a highlight! Thanks for the fun and adventure.

Something special or unusual goes here:A power tail of sorts meant quick stops and quick finds. The Generic Bit:QOGM adventure - I was able to catch a ride with Muff1 who were heading to the QOGM event and team up for 3 weeks of caching adventures. 3 weeks in a swag - will my back hold out[?]Day 4: Not much sleep overnight at the Cobar truck stop. Time to head north through Bourke to our next overnight stop at the Barringun Roadhouse. Stopped for 16 caches and did a few more adventure labs today.

Heard a big rustle in the bush. Got a start it was a wild pig!!!!

Freddo and Team Waldron headed to warmer climes around Broken Hill, Cobar, Bourke, Cunnamulla
and 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.

Quick find here.

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.

SA’s Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!

We continued today our tour in NewSouthWales, AUS, and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.

The weather was - said in one word – simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood.

The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.

Thanks to ian-and-penny for the generation of this nice cache AT - Bacchus Marsh (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.

PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they appeared.

Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

A wander off into waist high wet grass and yes! Cache found and signed.

Found easily but got sopping wet feet which squelched as the vegetation was saturated with the overnight rain. TFTC ian and lenny

Found on the trip home after another awesome, annual QOGM event. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

Found original container and log book in great condition! I bet the area looks a little different now so much grass, loads of pretty wildflowers and oodles of lizards out basking in the warm afternoon sun.

Just had a big adventurous drive from Bourke round the back roads to Tilpa (yes sank a beer and signed the wall) then out to the highway to Cobar and now heading back to Bourke. Lots of water and bouncing wildlife some of which hitched a ride , thankfully it wasn’t a goat

Thanks ian-and-penny

TFTC on this gorgeous day

Found as we travelled in the homeward direction after a month of travelling. We stopped at each of these as we could find suitable pull offs for the caravan. All were easily found TFTC

We are staying at Cobar for a few days so this afternoon we took a quick drive out to this cache and its friends close by. SL TFTC

A lovely picturesque town I used to travel through very often when I lived in that southern state. TFTC.

Gotcha - Found easy enough. Tftc

We were lucky to find all the caches in this series. It was interesting to have a chat about each of the destinations as we have been to all of them. Bacchus Marsh isn't far from home so we have certainly been there often. Thanks for placing the cache.

A quick find with frmen1. Parking was not good. 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.

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, while being watched by some curious horses. TFTC.

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

The sun is out now and in full force but luckily we are nearing the end of the PT with the temperature sitting at 32°.
The side track has somewhat diminished as we have got further north but we still have been able to drive up close to most caches.
Thanks ian-and-penny 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

TFTC Ian-and-Penny

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.
It was getting darker here time to turn around

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 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!

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 ian-and-penny

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.

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 ian-and-penny 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

Brother and co lives Bacchus marsh

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 ian-and-penny!

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.

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

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.

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 Ian-and-penny

Found by Mary & David at 1450. Well hello! The drought here seems to have broken after torrential rain. The flats where this cache series lies has become a quagmire, with water everywhere. So good to see you both at QOGM. Heading to Cobar tonight. Our thanks to ian-and-penny.

Muggle Hubby and I visited Bacchus Marsh when his sister lived there, many years ago in our pre-Geocaching days, we must go back there again and see what caches are there.

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

Thanks for the series, enjoyed dping them this morning. 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, ian-and-penny, 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

Today we travelled towards Bourke and surrounds picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them.

An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

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.

I've driven past Bacchus Marsh but have not been there. I had a friend previously reside there too. Must rectify that at some stage in the future. Found this one's spot on approach and quickly completed signing duties before returning to the car for the next one. Thanks!

Found it caching for the weekend around bourke,cobar, nyngan and warren.
