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.TFTC

Cleaned out the ants and nest to get to the log, another great find on our way home. Unfortunate small invasion of ants in the geomobile! TFTC!

Nice hide

Good hide all tho inside is damaged

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 4 of my trip to Bermagui via the Snowoies. Camped at Tantangra Reservoir for a couple nights 4 trout caught looks like we got out just before the bad weather hits. Onward to Bermagui today.

A heap of black ants have made this container home! got most of them out.

Tftc!

A day out touring. All good here except for the insect squatters.

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

Cache log replaced and reset. No ants and nice and dry ready to be found. Please place back where found to afford cache some protection.

Found a wet smelly cache. Needs some attention

Hi Hoffy. Found the cache but in need of urgent attention. Wet through and very smelly

We were rewarded with a shower of ants upon opening this one. TFTC

Full of ants

So clever! So are the ants

Predominantly creative hides on this series kept things interesting. Got this one. Scenery beautiful. Our thanks to dghoffy for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Not going in wriggly territory

Nice hide even if hidden in wriggly territory. Thanks dghoffy

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.

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!

Good hide. There was ants all in the cache I got most out. Other than that it was excellent

Found by Mary and David at 16:35. Traffic is getting heavier now. We've had so much fun and entertainment this afternoon. Our thanks to dghoffy.

Hunted and got wet feed. No need! Cache was dry! Lol Tftc

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.

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

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.

All eyes looking .
Found with Smittengranny, Kittykatch and Grimraider caching as Capital Crunchers. Down the coast heading to Bermagui for and caching catchup. TFTC

Cache 5205 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: took a few pairs of hands to find this one!

Thanks dghoffy and elysium_au for the cache and the fun!

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

Quick find on the way home. Tftc

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

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

Cheers

A quick cache find as promised

Flooded under the cache, but the cache and log were okay. Magnet is a little weak though. I found $2 on the road. TFTC dghoffy and elysium_au.

cache checked, all good

Found on our way back from Brogo dam. Planning to attempt the whole series this week, so thought we’d get a head start! Tftc

Cache in good condition

Easy find.

Took a little bit of time but soon had CIH. TFTC.

Found a Magnet but no cache

Found! Slightly wet legs and short thanks to ross2288 flicking long wet grass at me continually while searching for his one

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!

One of our team headed to where he expecteed the cache to be while the other followed her GPS. After mastering the long grass MrsY'stassie soon had the cache container in hand. She carried it back to the car in triumph ready to sign the log. Her glee was short lived for, on opening the container, she was showered with tiny ants and millions of eggs. After 5 minutes of frantic shaking and brushing all evidence of ant presence except for the smell had been removed. The lod was signed but we put the sheets in a new zip lock bag then replaced the container.

Thanks for another cache dghoffy and for a memorable caching experience.

Third on the trail this morning as we head home. TFTC

Find Number 1621, found at 11:39

With the current Groundspeak promotion encouraging caching for the numbers, GeoSon NationalSteel and I decided to try for all 100 finds in a two day weekend. The only significant series that neither of us had found was the SST, so we set off down South to try our luck. With 50 caches found yesterday, we needed another 50 today to complete the mission.

This was a quick and easy P&G find.

The cache was in good condition. We took nothing, left nothing, signed the log using the signature GT/NS and replaced the container as found

Thanks dghoffy for the cache.

G&T had planned a raid on the SST series in the hope of ticking off the required 100 finds for the Hidden Creatures souvenirs. So we came down and had a very successful weekend, with 50 finds on the Saturday and at least 60 on the Sunday, and only 2 or 3 DNFs overall. We completed the SST loop, although we skipped a few here and there when we missed a turnoff or it looked like a given cache might take too long to get to, given we were on a numbers run. But I was really impressed with this series, finding it much more interesting than a boring power trail. There's obviously been genuine thought and in many cases clever workmanship going into the hides. To have so many of such quality and variety is quite an achievement and made the numbers run much more enjoyable than it could have been, were we pursuing endless "tupperware under a bush" hides. People concerned about the lack of hints just need to pay more attention to the clever naming system, in most cases. I also appreciate the thought that went into planning a particular route around the caches - clockwise, which we followed as advised - and the selection of safe places to pull over. Anyway, today was another big day with over 60 finds, breaking G&T's daily record, getting very close to my record and passing my 4000th find milestone. We started the day by heading back from Bega to the spur of BFH caches, getting a few more in the area and then resuming our loop of the SST.

Another nice quick find here to keep our run rate nice and high. 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.

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

ant free!

Found on my around the SST. A great series to do. Enjoyed the different kind of hides. 1000 little ants crawling all over container

Talking too much, I over shot the cache.
lucky not other car, so i reversed up a bit

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

Found with gwd.aussie on a caching long Weekend roadtrip.

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

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!

Quick find cheers!

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. 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.

Thanks to the CO for the placement here.

AddictedGamer gave me the pleasure of getting this one. Spiders everywhere! Destroyed a few homes in the process, sorry. Tftc!!!

Found this one while driving through the area.

Greetings from a german cache team on vacation.

T4T$!

Nice change to the last few caches. Well easy is good isn't it.On our wonder down to the Vic, mega at Alexandra. Nice change to the last few. 2539 so far for us. Thanks for placing this cache dghoffy, without cachers like you we wouldn't have a hobby. Signed log. took nothing, left nothing

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!
The title of this one had us excited. "GlenoaksStop"! Maybe time for a cuppa and a toilet. But no, we'll just have to wait.
A nice quick drive by.

Well hidden but signing the log took time as Sunday traffic was heavy. KUTGW

Found as we wind our way from Melbourne to Canberra the long way around picking up some stray map zones for a challenge cache as we go. Being dedicated caches we never take the shortest direct route to anywhere, except the next cache of course. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Day 2 on the SST Trail.
More nice sunny weather and lots of good caches found.
Appreciate the efforts you have put into the hides.

Spending the day around Tathra, Tanja and Bega - it really was a day from the ocean to the mountains! We enjoyed the variety and difficulty of the cache hides. Thanks to all the COs for enriching our visit to this lovely area of NSW.

On holidays from Brisbane visiting friends, down near Tathra for 4 days. Today we decided to tackle the caches around Tathra, Tanja, Kalaru, and the Princess Highway heading north from Bega. Due to the numbers found while on this holiday, I have decided to do a generic message. Thank you to all the cache owners who have placed these caches in the various locations. TFTC

Another one night caching,woo-hoo,

Apologies for the late log
Thank you for the cache

Thanks for another cache in this huge series, having lots of fun with it!

F(H)ound It! #1534 - @11:04:00 AM

A nice quick and straight forward park and grab. A little hard to close container because of swaps jammed in there but all good. No snakes here today . Thanks for the cache, dghoffy.

Thank you for this cache. Pencil needs a sharpen, I couldn't find my sharpener of course. #102

Took The Woofer down the coast for a couple of nights, and used the opportunity to bring our cache count closer to 1000! It took us 8 hours to get to Bermagui, but we found over 40 caches, and had an absolute ball - with some of the most creative hides we've ever seen.

A nice easy find. TFTC!

It is a long weekend in Canberra and a welcome trip away as work has been hectic the last few weeks. I was pleased to accept an initiation to stay with fellow geocachers Boeing737 & Jetfuselage (hope you're looking after my plane Will). The south coast is beautiful this time of year, however, with the warmer weather, the reptiles are on the move and I spotted numerous lizards and two black snakes.
I was surprised how quiet it was, I thought there would be a few Canberra cachers about, but no: just me. Forgive the generic logs.


TFTC dghoffy.Thanks very much for the guided tour around this beautiful part of the coast. I look foward to my return.

Done

Quick

Fun last fund for the afternoon

Quick park n grab tftc

#4346 - 11:20; The day had finally arrived to head to the coast with fitzy_65 and mtrax to give the SST and BFH series a run. The initial plans had been hatched with f65 a while ago, with mtrax joining in after a chat about forthcoming plans at a recent event. We had stopped for a couple of caches in Nimmitabel, along with a pie and a coffee at the local bakery before heading on to Bemboka for a couple more. We had now started on the main mission and had collected our first few in the SST as we headed north on the Princes Highway, with the goal of reaching Bermagui by sunset. Another nice quick find on this one. TFTC dghoffy
