Logs
A slow and steady catch up of logging. So far behind, yet as I look over my the list of my unlogged caches, some 400 of them, I am torn between writing out a separate log for each or a generic log for the lot. The only reason it has gotten this far out of control is the time consuming task of logging each one. So sorry to say generic logging wins.
If you the owner really want a fully log please contact me and I will be happy to return and write a personal full log for you.

Well let's see how we go with the next one.

Our ill luck continues with this cache.
Definitely not in the described location

Took 4 people to get it out after half hour because of how little the gap and how strong the physics involved is. But TFTC it was an awesome challenge involving teamwork
Tight little cache. Took long fingers and tippy toes to pull this sucker out. TFTC
10:57:00 AM. Took a far hunt but in the end felt it. Couldn't extract it so got the better half on my shoulders and she managed to retrieve it. Thank goodness no one came around at the time. Log signed. Thanks Chuze for placing this cache.
Thank goodness we're camping and carry steps in the ute! Quick find and sign TFTC Travelling slowly homewards after a six month stay in Tassie.
Changed rating to 1.5/1.5 because the "new" free app will only display and allow newcomers and non premium members to log and search for geocaches that are 1.5/1.5.
I recommend everyone change theirs also and whilst at it, go give the new free app a one star rating with your 2cents worth.
Really sad to see groundspeak move in this direction.
c:geo is a free app that allows access to almost all geocaches.
I will check on this asap.

While aubeasty and walked up, MrSmash and I drove giving us plenty of time to look. Followed the hint and really explored but it's not there.
another stop on the mountain and sad another DNF. Hopefully the cache is still there and i just didn't see it. Maybe a cache check is needed
A great day caching around the track.. Being short has its problems but with csucat on my shoulders the cache was found Tftc
Cache was wet, dried as best we could

Awesome day caching with MepicMax and DamoMo. 8th smiley for the day! Was amusing getting this one. Thanks for the laugh!
If I’d had my car on this trip, would have had easy access to reach with a small step ladder I keep permanently in my boot for caching but ended up improvising with whatever ozvixen had in her car. Eventually spotted the sneaky hide then had to figure out how to remove it without giving up due to the difficulty. Dog-ged persistence and much laughter ensued with finally success!
After the Great Race, I headed south to visit a friend in Canberra. I decided to come back through Bathurst on my return journey north.
Time to tackle some if the caches on that mountain!
I checked the spots mentioned in the hint, but was unable to locate the cache!

After not being able to locate the last cache this was next on our track walk. Lucky I had my tall boyfriend as company and my trusty caching tools and after a short search/rest break from walking up the hill we had cache in hand.
Log signed and replaced.
Lovely view from here but we must keep going up the hill.......

Thanks.

Bathurst/Orange weekend trip August 15 with Albida33....
The 1st of few DNF's. Try as we did, we couldn't come up with the find. Thought it might be something like we had found before, but alas, nothing came to hand.
Thanks anyway....

We obviously haven't got the hang of nanos in Bathurst, as yet another DNF here. Yet its noted in the description as an easy hide and plenty of others are finding it. Spent a little while searching but unable to come up with the goods.
PS... We had just stopped at the cache after this one, when Circuit Management drove up and questioned us as to whether we were doing that treasure hunt thing. Of course we said yes. Apparently they are a bit concerned with people like us crawling around some of the sites, particularly the broadcast areas and the dangerous bends. They asked us if we had put some of them out but we explained we were from interstate and were just finding. We asked if they wanted us to stop caching, and they said it was okay for us to continue but to avoid the above-mentioned areas and to not park near any private driveways (which we hadn't done). They must have us all on cctv or something, as we were very cautious to avoid muggles, of which, being so cold, there were hardly any around today.

On a long drive home back to SA after the QLD Mega, we decided to stay a night in Bathurst and check out Mount Panorama

Another perfect Autumn day for caching around Bathurst with Mr Router.
Not many muggles around and mostly quick finds.
Another very tricky hide.
Thanks for the cache Chuze,

Yay another find which were few and far between. Out and about caching with Tassie Trekkers as we head to Stanthorpe to attend the Qld Mega. TFTC
Today we explored Bathurst and surrounds with Whitewebbs heading towards Stanthorpe for the Mega using geocaching as a guide.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Fairly easy find but extracting it took longer. I enjoyed this one. Brought a few travellers to enjoy the view and also a couple of geocaching friends. TFTC
I almost called it a day, but on carful examination spotted it and then grabbed the required tool for extraction, thanks.
Decided to head down to Mount Panorama today by bike to conquer the hills and the caches! 20 finds for today, including some on the way down from Bathurst.
I swear I checked this spot right at the start and found nothing which meant I spent another 15 mins poking around before coming back and realising it was a bit harder to retrieve than I thought! Got a required tool and signed log, thanks

Came over from New Zealand for a 6 day break. After a short journey from Katoomba where I'm staying, arrived here at Bathurst to walk right around the famous race track, starting from the train-bus station.
As it was sooo hot I spent about 5 mins searching, if it was cooler I would have spent longer, but I'm sure I checked every obvious place. Still, I was having fun anyway, right next to where I was having my lunch in the shade I then noticed a dead kangaroo. There were barely any flies so I assumed it had been dead for a short time given the heat. I remember a race here I watched years ago when one of the drivers, I can't remember who now, almost took out a kangaroo on Conrod Straight which was bouncing across the track.

Sadly another DNF for today, and it was getting too hot to spend too much time looking.
We decided to spend a morning finding some of the new caches around Mt Panorama. The average is improving but still not the standard we aspire to. TFTC
This took some time to find and we were beginning to think it was going to be another DNF, but eventually we had the log in hand and smiles on our faces. TFTC Chuze.
Finally found one of the mountain caches ....... Yah

Found fairly quickly but accidentally pushed out of reach when found. Used an implement lying in the vicinity to retrieve it.tftc
Found it! I am learning more about your hiding style. Good one! SL TFTC

I'm ashamed to say how long it took me to find this one [B)], but find it I did. (After looking once, twice, thrice...in all the obvious and tricky spots...)
I was hoping to get some insight into the mind of this 'chuze' character... And justissed the FTF in the process! TFTH, chuze.
