SST - Down to the Greendale bridge Greendale, New South Wales, Australia
By dghoffy and elysium_au on 22-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5DDVX

Were caretaking on a local farm so its giving me time to get on the bike and tour the country side and pick up geocaches. STL. I like your work here giving me ideas for replacing some of my hides. TFTC

Thanks great one out with The Roos

Tricky! Took a bit but we got it with the Roos.Fun parking a bunch of caravans and dodging big trucks.Tftc

I wasnt expecting that!!! TFTC.

cheeky lil cache

Found it

Awesome, tftc

Yay we found it!

Cheeky!

Our plans were derailed a little yesterday as we managed to get a flat tire just two hours after leaving Sydney. It was difficult to deal with as our rental company didnt offer any help whatsoever, so after I swapped our wheel we ended our drive earlier, and settled in for the night. This morning we had to figure out what to do with the car but still keep moving south; after a long morning we managed to get our car swapped for a new one (boy does that sound strange) and we continued our drive. We stopped by [the Guinness world book of records whitest beach](https://coord.info/GC3YA18), and after Laura had a short swim, we got back on the road and eventually made it to the target of our adventure today; the [worlds first earthcache](https://coord.info/GCHFT2). We do love ECs and that was our 295th EarthCache found. It was quite the memorable and unique moment and experience. Once we were done at the Wasp Head, we condinuted driving south down the windy and busy road which the locals call the highway. Indeed, it is in no way a highway. But alas, we stopped at this ninth stash of the day, and though we passed many other stashes along the way, I needed a short stop along the long drive in the darkness. At GZ, we both searched for a while, though we only managed to find the magnet. Bummer. I ended up drafting this DNF log at 6:19 pm. Thanks nonetheless dghoffy for bringing us here, while on our trip around Australia! Perhaps next time..

Great hide. TFTC

An excellent camo container. Clever.

Nice quick find. Tftc

Cheeky hide, daughter found in minutes

It was a good one

Got to give you a favorite point for this one. Magnificent bridge and view. And I made it hard for myself as well. I dropped the flaming thing and had to go fetch it. Nice adventure, thanks, dghoffy.

Found this cache on our East Coast Trip Day 5 in company of Bazzars. A few last highway caches on route to our stay in Cobargo. Thanks from D B-A

Day 8 and my last day in Bermagui before heading home. Goal today was to complete the SST series (Minus my DNF's), majority left are south around Tathra and Bega plus grab any others along the way.

Had a DNF here a few days ago, but was thinking about it last night and come up with another idea. Sure enough I had a look at the area from a different perspective and the cache was quickly spotted. A nice hide, gets a FP from me.

Tftc!

Had a good look here. Ran out of time. One for another day.

very industrious thanks

I don't think I went to the right spot. Should have checked the terrain rating first!

A day out exploring.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

We pulled over and spent quite a while looking, unsure what we were seeking. Then Mr winglen made the find - another favourite point added thanks !

Nicely tucked away ️

TFTC! Had a lovely day out with a few tricky finds along the way

All fixed and ready to go again.

Some minor repairs needed for this one

Predominantly creative hides on this series kept things interesting. Got this one but it had become dislodged from its hidey spot and we found it down the bank. We could not replace it in the correct location but have put it in a sensible spot near gz and not too obvious. Scenery beautiful. Our thanks to dghoffy for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Tijdens verplaatsing van Thredbo naar Batemans Bay deze cache gezocht, maar niet gevonden.

Great hide. A lot of effort and thought went into this cache. Thanks dghoffy

Awesome find! Found a scary spiser inside though. Rehoned him in the grass.

This is the last day for picking up more of this fun series, along with ilook4geo. We realise what a lot of thought and preparation has been put into the cache placements and names as well as the apt camo used on so many. Each log had both lots of initials noted on it before being replaced as found.
Many thanks go to dghoffy and elysium_au for placing and maintaining such a worthwhile series of caches.

Out and about caching again today with goingplaces2 and it is good to be able to claim so many smileys while heading into Bega and surrounding areas. TFTC.

TFTC super cool hide and perfect for my 450th! Yippee thank you

Last day of the long weekend road trip to the far south coast. Stayed overnight in Beta and worked my way north from there. Again lots of caches and mostly of good quality, thanks to all for putting them out there!

A challenge but we got there!

Spending a glorious weekend down the Sapphire Coast as part of the Canberra Invasion. Whilst the invasion meant the chance to catch up with many cachers at events and at different spots (and a delightful excuse to celebrate Lovetherabbitohs 18th birthday), I spent most of the weekend on the hunt with the CGI crew: Fitzy_1965, DarzeeDi, Minniek , K8TYBEE , GLISS!, GSC2000 Lovetherabbitohs, B0tmun, death_killer & my_name_jeff_1. Thanks so much for keeping all the caches alive and making this weekend a possibility! Tftc

Out and about with nibletricecakes and the Goulburn/Canberra crew. Scouting the coastline for treasures... my first big caching weekend! TFTC (and trail)

One of many many caches found during our SST caching invasion - thank you !

Headed to Wallaga Lake for a bit of an invasion by people from Canberra & Goulburn. A group of us convoyed for most of the long weekend. The group known as CGI (Canberra Goulburn Invasion) consisted of fitzy_1965, darzee di, nibletricecakes, k8tybee, GLISS!, GSC2000 and my geokids Lovetherabbitohs, b0tmun, death_killer & my_name_jeff_1.

Day 3 now all packed up and ready to head home but not before finishing the SST series and any others along the way. All caches were quickly found. We certainly loved the variety.

I think this was my most favourite cache of the weekend. I love how you make caches to just fit.

Sorry for the generic log, some with an added comment - this weekend a few of us from Canberra and Goulburn decided to travel down to Bermagui and do the SST series and some of the other traditionals, camping at Wallaga Lake Big4.
Today was day 3, final day of our adventure and what a great adventure it was, loved the company, lots of laughs and stories making it a successful fun long weekend. I just loved the different caches and ability to park safely and enjoy the experience, some a little harder to find than others but found in the end . We signed logs as team CGI (canberra Goulburn invasion) and we all enjoyed ourselves, we all had a great day and all said how much a fantastic series it was. Tftc dghoffy and elysium_au

I found this cache together with barbarine by our trip from Eden to Ulladulla. We had a nice day. Thank you for the hide. Greetings from finderus.

Found it by our hollyday trip in direction Sydney together with finderus. Thank you for the cache and greetings from barbarine

Nicely constructed. Found on a long weekend away. Signed as Canberra Goulburn Invasion - CGI. TFTC.

Sorry hoffys, but this is going to be a generic log, as I have trouble keeping up with the youngsters I cache with, let alone making notes for individual caches. It will however save you reading every log!
Weeks ago it was decided to resurrect the idea of Canberra Invasions. I had not previously been involved in these adventures but enthusiastically signed up and this is our second this year. What a fabulous time we had. The main targets were the Event on Saturday night to celebrate an 18th birthday and the SST series. Both were achieved as well as some extras thrown in for good luck.

Thanks to all the COs for the effort they put in to creating the caches we found, but especially to dghoffy . What an incredible set of caches. I especially loved the names allocated to the caches - wow what great imaginations you have, and this spilled over to the creation of the caches. Well done d! It was wonderful not to have a series of mint tins or sistemas and their placement was great too. Evil at times but so much fun! I especially appreciated the fact that there was always good parking on roads that can be busy - glad it was a winter long weekend not one in summer.

All caches were eventually found, sometimes with a little bit of help - thanks to the COs and GrimRaider and were signed or stamped as Capital Crunchers. Brilliant series so thanks again and it was great to have you share the weekend with us.

Travelling with AngelG27 and BobL27 for the 'SST Bermagui Invasion'. Day 2. Cache soon found. TFTC.

Great hide.

Found with Capital Crunchers Team. Nice construction. Fabulous fun on the trail. TFTC

Cache 5203 on 9 Jun 2019.

This was a long awaited and planned geocaching mission to the south coast with a few other Canberra cachers. Bobl27, TikvaNZ and I drove down Saturday morning and picked up a few caches on the way to the main goal which was the SST. We picked up 19 caches Saturday getting warmed up for the main day today, Sunday. And such pretty views from so many cache spots.

This cache: nicely constructed cache! FP

Thanks dghoffy and elysium_au for the cache and the fun!

Found with AngelG27 and TikvaNZ on a lovely long weekend down the coast. Great caches and good variety, some tricky and some easier. TFTC

Another down!! "Railed" it

railed it

Stopped by on the way down the coast to a Scout Camp.

Cheers

The Greendale Bridge was worth visiting,
not just for the cache,
but for the views

TFTC on a detour from the highway today [^]
And a good cache hide ...
... watch out for the spider who has taken up residence

When we pulled out of Bega it was pouring rain, but by here it had fortunately stopped and although still dull, I could get this cache without it getting wet. A well made cache, well deserving a favourite tick. TFTC dghoffy and elysium_au.

Found it quickly but then needed to go down...

Be carefull when you open it. Tftc

Open it carefully

Be careful which way you open the container.

Cheers

Found by the geosons. We have driven past this bridge many times - it’s nice to see it up close. TFTC

Interesting position. Thanks.

Jsson and myself went for a trip to find caches in the BFH and SST series. We logged as IJ. A lovely sunshine day with some clouds and a light breeze.
We found many nice and partly challenging caches during our road trip.
Thanks for placing a cache for me to enjoy and find.

A trip with Ingabo to the BHF and SST serie today.
Many thanks for all the caches.Some we have to search for a while.
We wrote IJ stand for the first letter i our alias ( Jsson, Ingabo)
TFTC!

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a very well designed, constructed and placed cache. The cache and contents were I good condition. Thanks dghoffy and elysium_au for the cache and a very enjoyable series. This cache earns a favourite from us.

Just about to give up when we spotted something on our final search. Cool hide, TFTC

A series I will never forget, extremely challenging at times as every cache is different and there is no hint. Without a hint you approach GZ each time like a newbie, and if co-ords slightly out finding some caches becomes hard. Day 3. Nice bridge, cache well blended. Tftc

Day 4 had me starting in Mollymook and heading down the coast back into VIC and ending up in Bairnsdale. Enjoyed the winding forest roads a bit too much before being stopped by the authorities. 20 caches in total, and that's after a GPS malfunction. Saw a lizard and a Wallaby so not a lot of wildlife today.

16th find and it took a while to find this one. I was hoping I wouldn't have to find a way under and glad I finally spotted something out of place.
Grabbed the TB and wanted to swap one but didn't have one that fit.

Thanks for the cache

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Dropped off TB

Couple of days off work so some much needed caching to be done thanks for the cache

Found on my around the SST. A great series to do. Enjoyed the different kind of hides. Yippee found the cache after using my last PAF of the day.

Happy to turn off the road, as a car was right behind me.
So that car turn too, Dammit.

Having a few days away caching with d@geo
Thank you for the hide dghoffy and elysium_au

Heading south from Sydney with Brewmaker Himself & Muppet95, with the idea of two full Caching days around the Sapphire Coast. Found this Cache as part of our two day adventure...
Cheers
Seemyshell

Favorite for this one.... loved it

Overnight trip around the SST with Seemyshell and Brewmaker. I was really impressed with the wide range of unique styles and sizes. Another huge selling point on these were the interesting names for the caches (instead of numbered), which makes it easier to remember each location and find. Thanks to all the Cache Owners of the Sapphire Coast (namely dghoffy and elysium_au) for injecting the greater area with good quality caches. Thanks For The Cache!

This bridge cache was awesome! Nice homemade camo!

On a two day road trip with Seemyshell and Muppet95 searching for caches around the Sapphire Coast. So many various hides along the way. Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining these caches in such a beautiful area to visit.

Good camo, good cache. Deserves a FP of course! TFTC

Heading into NSW on a relaxing few days away sightseeing and caching, not trying big note ourselves on what caches we get or don’t get while here, but to enjoy each others company.

Hard to get a good coordinate fix here.

Thanks to the CO for the placement here.

Caching our way home from the mountains to Sydney. Lots of great finds - including this one! With AWTYOW, geo-gangstas and Brizzle11. TFTC!

How do you turn a straightforward drive back to Sydney into a 12 hour trip? Geocaching with AWTYOW, Geogangstas and Gabstar along the way. Although we recognised we had to be selective and not stop for everything we still made this into a big day! At least we had fun and saw some great places along the way. TFTC

A quick find on the trip home TFTC

This was our eighth find of the morning (although we had to resist stopping for more of these - too hard with two cars to stop at some). Gabstar spotted it and we really liked the camo - a favourite point for the effort. This is a great cache! Can't wait to come back a have a go at the rest of the series.

AddictedGamer found this one really quickly. Very cool. Great bridge. Glad we didn’t drop it! There were some spikey, yet yummy looking berries under the bridge. Tftc!!!

Thought we would do a check on th is one after the dropsies and the dnf, thankfully its all good and as it should be.

Oh dear we came we searched we failed thanks for bringing us here. cheers from Ozglory

Found it and dropped it! Very nice camo!

Found

We have been visiting The Saphire Coast since our childhood and have always loved family holidays. Now there's just the 2 of us and we still love coming here. There's no better way to explore than on our very own geo-tour. We are interested to see if we discover any unknown (to us!) treasures on our journey today. We have already seen one whale from the shore, fantastic!
Another beautifully crafted cache that blends in well.
Another favourite from us.
TFTC

Stay up!

Tftc. Nice easy find on our last day on the SST circuit before heading home from our 10 day stay at tathra. Thanks so far for all the caches hoffy and eylesium. Some brilliant work here.
