Found it

A weekend of fun with a group of Canberra cachers. The weather was beautiful, cold and clear with little wind and it was a perfect day to be out walking and exploring and enjoying a winter weekend in Bathurst. We signed the logs as CBI24 ( Canberra-Bathurst Invasion 2024)Thanks for all the adventures and efforts to create some fun hides for the Geocaching community. Domsky

The target today for Canberra Bathurst Invasion was Mount Panorama and all associated caches. Some of us had already found caches in 2020, but more had appeared, and we hadn't even attempted all that were there back then. After meeting at the Racing Sports Museum and finalising plans, we crowded into just a few cars and headed off to find and sign all caches as CBI24. Thanks to all COs for placing these caches that add real purpose to a lap around the circuit.

Tankengine, Youban and I left Canberra just after lunchtime on Friday and drove straight to Bathurst. We had solved many of the puzzles or at least started the solves before coming. We were looking forward to finding many smilies this weekend and hanging out with our friends. We met up with our friends and signed caches as CBI24 (Canberra Bathurst Invasion 2024). The group included Fitzy_1965, Minniek, Kittykatch, Joolay, FurfacesLL, GLISS!, Tankengine, Youban, Contesta, Domsky, TikvaNZ, Isopeada, Barb2e, and SmittenGranny.We had an awesome dinner at the Kelso Hotel Bistro Friday night. And attended the ever changing event on Saturday night at The Reckless Brewery Co. Breakfast was at a couple of cafes that were all good and lunches wherever we could find it. Our little cabin at the NRMA Paramount caravan park, where there was just enough space for all three of us (just). We slept ok, but the leaky taps needed attention. We had an awesome time and would love another chance to visit Bathurst again another day. This cache: Nice quick find at this one too. Tftc!!!

#22367 @1015Visiting Bathurst for the weekend from Canberra. A convoy of Canberra caches 'raced' around the track collecting all the caches. Cache easily found by tankengine. Signed as CBI24. TFTC.

Did all these around the circuit on the weekend and as we wanted to get as many finds as possible around the town and with a group of sixteen from Canberra. We signed them as CBI24. And did them as a draft. Now posting causing sore eyes and a throbbing digit finger. Kutgw

Day 5 of our Bathurst trip with Team Crackers, Geoturtle37 & Papi4506.Today spent the day caching around Bathurst.All puzzles were solved before the trip.This is one of the caches we stopped at. A quick search and the cache was located, signed and replaced.We stamped the log as 'The Mob' to save time and space.Many thanks for placing this cache, Joshwa27, for us and others to find.

We are in Bathurst with The Drovers, Geoturtle37 & Papi4506 for a few days caching and were all looking forward to doing another lap around the track.We had already previously found a lot of caches around here many years ago and we were extremely happy when version 2 had arrived and we had heaps more to find.Again we pulled up and wandered to gz, having this many eyes looking was a bonus on this one as it could have taken a little while to locate but on this occasion we were lucky.Once our The Mob stamp had been added to the log we returned everything as it was and happily wandered off to the next one,Thanks again for the cache.

#5999Out on a fabulous ANZAC weekend caching adventure with Ash_Kate and Rama497. Our base for the weekend was Bathurst where we hoped we could find lots of fun caches in and around and enjoy some relaxing time away from Sydney.Took a bit of effort and a bit of climbing to find this one. Those blackberries are a pain!!!!Now on to my 6000th find milestone. Thanks for the geofun.

After spending a couple of weeks in Canberra attending the Mega Event it was time to head back to Brisbane. We have a few weeks to travel so we are meandering up through country NSW. Today we're passing through Bathurst on our way to Hill End.Every October I religiously sit in front of the TV for three days watching The Great Race. Therefore I couldn't go through Bathurst without doing some laps in the Bedmobile. Picked up this cache on lap 3.TFTC

TFTC. Walking off dinner on a cold night under the stealth of darkness. A well worn track from fellow catchers. Log All but destroyed and needs replacement. Under the light of my phone on a moonless night.

A quick find here, cache is all goodHeaded over to the Capital GeoBash in Canberra, ACT with Freddo over 5 days, travelling through the central part of NSW before caching around the hinterlands. A nice few days over with great weather.Thanks for the cache

No traffic today. They were getting ready for the big easter meet.The trip bit.Easter geocaching festival of twenty twenty four. This time it is the turn of Oz Mega GeoBash MEGA event in the nation's capital. It is time for a road trip across country to Canberra in the Sporty Pajero Sports. Freddo and Gridge98 traveling from Adelaide via a strange inland route that takes in scenic rural locations, dusty roads, punctured tyres, overheating batteries, various tools of the trade, special campgrounds, and lots scope for many many geocaching finds. Along the way we saw running emus, jumping kangaroos, wandering deer, dead foxes, herds of wooly sheep and stray steers.Arriving in Canberra we met our colleagues e.gregory1, featherwaite, team walron, courtney rose, davidwazza, e_smilie, and georode, signing as ABP, plus a huge group of other like minded excited mega geocachers attending event after event, and more events.Day one. Adelaide to Broken HillDay two. Broken Hill to WellingtonDay three. Wellington to CowraDay four. Cowra to BathurstDay five. Bathurst to CanberraDay six. Canberra to CanberraDay seven. Canberra to QueenbeeyanDay eight. Canberra to AdelaideThe generic bit.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.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. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

It was time for the traditional post Christmas road trip. The stockings were emptied of presents, feasts were devoured and great times were had with family and friends. Now to get away!Day 5: After some rain last night (in the middle of summer!), the sun is shining today and it was time to cut some laps of Mt Panorama. I dont think the geomobile will be breaking any lap records, but we might find a few more geocaches than Lowndes or Brock.We walked to this one from the bridge and with good coordinates I had my hand on it quickly.Thanks Joshwa27 for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy. ----------------------------------------------------------The Ballarat GeoTour ends on 4 March 2024!

A loose plan was hatched for a 3-week road trip with RoamingHowie to explore locations in Country NSW wed not been to before and of course, find a cache here and there.DAY FIVE: Exploring Bathurst. Parked at nearby Rydges and wandered back to find this cache. Next time I watch the Big Race, Im sure Ill be saying Theres a cache there! as the V8s fly past. Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Joshwa27 ~~

I said to my partner, it wont be there but sure enough it was . Thanks for another cache at Bathurst

It has been about 30 years since I have wanted to visithere and, although there is no racing this week, I finally made it. I dropped the missus in Sydney for a three day work conference, grabbed a eental car and was in town for lunch. After a coffee the cache hunt started. This took longer than it should have due to workmen in the area but a find ia a find. TFTC

House sitting in Bathurst, of course, includes Geocaching!

Walked up from behind Rydges.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 6:00 PM on January 6, 2023. TFTC, Joshwa27

Due to poor logging skills and maybe old age memory I had forgotten I had been here. So guided by Code1 I searched and found this one again. In a different location from where it was a few years ago but still enjoyed the hunt.
JABs.

The phone GPS jumped around a bit and at one point had me looking down a rabbit hole, literally.
Backed off and approached from another angle and spotted it.
TFTF

Nice one

Big sign, sent GeoIan in to the grass. Found it! TFTC

A quick find after braving the long grass and blackberries. I had tried to lok under, and dropped my pen over there. lucky Madrabbitoh was close, and threw me her pen. TFTC

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

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Bathurst for a 9 day holiday, camping in our Jayco Swan Outback Camper Trailer at the Bathurst NRMA Big4 Caravan Park, and plan to collect some caches & Adventure Labs in the Bathurst and surrounding areas.

Today we headed up to Mount Panorama to drive around the classic racing car circuit, and to collect all of the caches that are placed around the race track, including an old Archived cache (GC2MCRZ Sign of the times) that we accidently found for a bonus smiley. Also completed the new Adventure Lab that had recently appeared on the mount. Some extra caches were collected on the way up to the mount, and also on the return journey back to camp. This was the 17th of 25 finds for the day (day 3), and 42nd find of the holiday.

Parked on what seemed to be the only grassed spot along Conrod Straight that didn't have a "No Parking on Grass" sign erected on it, and then headed around to GZ. Did the monkey business and soon had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Joshwa27.

What a great weekend of finds.
Thank you

Being a big fan of the V8's, Mt Panorama was on my list of caches to find this weekend. I get such a buzz being here.

Avoiding Covid places and needing a time out so hitched a ride, armed with hand sanitiser, we went out for a weekend of caching with the Canberra caching crew. Great fun with Nibletricecakes, GLISS!, Onieferret, Barb2E, Joolay, Smittengranny, and Kittykatch. We signed the caches as Capital Crunchers. TFTC!

After searching every nook and cranny and phoned several friends it’s missing.

A quick and easy find. Cheers

We are spending some time in and around Bathurst. A nice place to be, a few caches here and there, and a wee bit of driving fun too!

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

And here we are. It is 2022, and after moving my life half the world away to Australia, discovering that Geocaching there without my friends was not as fun, generally trying to survive Australian fauna and flora and finding a job, only doing Geocaching on occasion during 2019, and then the pandemic hitting in 2020 and putting almost a complete halt to all traveling and finding, plus finally coming back to Europe to try and redo my life here this year… I have decided to sit down and log online all of the records I had gathered offline during these years. Some are lost forever (don’t trust your phone for years on end with offline logs), but hopefully I will manage to recover enough logs to paint a few broad strokes of what these years were, and the places they took me to.
Apologies in advance to all owners for this (in some cases, very) delayed logging. I can only say that sometimes we are not in the best place, and it takes time to find oneself. Thanks in advance for the hides, the places you took me to, and the stories you shared in the way.

-----

We take a weekend off and head to Bathurst and Orange to visit the area for the first time. It takes longer than we thought to get there, but once past the Blue Mountains, the rest is quite easy. Really surprised by the nice walk up in the mountains, and the circuit.

TFTC!

Nice hide, nice day on the mountain! Thanks for the cache! : )

On our way to Queanbeyan Mega, caching along the way. Staying close by decided to grab a couple of caches. Log may be stamped Coongoola or small logs signed CG. SL

Once I got in the right position it was an easy find.
