SST - Brogo's waiting place Brogo, New South Wales, Australia
By dghoffy and elysium_au on 22-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5DDWY

Time to say good bye to this one

Sounds like this one might need attending to.

Looked in the likely locations according to the GPs. Blackberry growing around makes it harder. Nothing to see here.

Couldn't find it.

Couldn’t find to much wild raspberry me and my friend couldn’t find it try again soon

Great camo, quick stop and grab as we start the day

Find #: 2,563
Companion: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Cooler autumn morning
Cache condition: Good

We’ve been staying in Brogo with friends, and I was on the way back from a trip into Bega. There had been some cars parked here on my way out, but this time I was alone so able to search in peace. I soon spotted an object worthy of investigation - nicely done! TNLNL TFTC

Didn't find it, looked all around, maybe it's not there, otherwise a hint might help?

Have replaced the temporary cache with the intended cache.

A family holiday in Pambula with some early morning caching. Unfortunately the weather wasn't so great with overcast and rainy conditions on most days. Didn't stop the geokids hitting the surf and nearby river, but a few more degrees and blue sky would have been nice.



Spent a few hours most mornings before everyone else was up caching the local area.



Apologies for the generic log, specific or interesting details added as appropriate.



Found with The Matetrix, geokids 2 and 3. Heading home today, this cache found quickly and without issue. TNLNSL TFTC

Found with IamCoust and geobros 2 and 3

Just leave up to the missus, shes always right.

TFTC. Good hiding spot.

Second day out searching for me. Found this one and a few very sneaky others TFTC!

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.

Quick find. Left you a

Not being sure what my day of caching and trig hunting entailed, i could not commit to the who series. Just a few stops here and there. This was a find. TFTC

Easy park and a quick cache. 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.

TFTC quick n easy

Found

Phew nice quick one for miss 5. Did a swap and signed log. 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!

On the way from Lakes Entrance to Narooma we briefly stopped here and found the cache right away. TFTC!

Found by Mary and David at 16:10. Looks like quite a place to meet. wait and go. Dropped off "Non-electronic geocacher's supporter" trackable. Our thanks to dghoffy.

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

Cool cache 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

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.

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

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

Cache 5209 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: quick find this time!

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

Thanks

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

Cheers

No bodies waiting here
So the cache was a quick find here [^]
DINGO !! Found it

TFTC.

Hi there dghoffy. A busy day driving from Merimbula to Batemans Bay and of course finding a few Geocaches as well. This container and log are in good condition - SL. Thanks to dghoffy for this cache - our find #6464.

What a nice place to rest and wait.

I am confused by another cache being placed here, because I found one with an older log. Photograph attached. TFTC dghoffy.

A temporary cache has been placed until we can get get back with the proper sort. Small size for time being.

On the way to Narooma. Stop to find the cache but just could not nab it.

Another quick find on our way home. This one had me stumped for a second or two, it we got there. Tftc:)

Easy find.

Quick park and grab on the SST. TFTC.

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 in good condition. Thanks dghoffy and elysium_au for the cache and a very enjoyable series.

Pulled over on our road trip to Eden today. Another one down in this great series. The camp is getting a little thin. SL TFTCM

Losing its camo so stood out like the proverbials. Enjoying the trail. TFTC

Find Number 1624, found at 11:49

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.

I'm beginning to recognize some of the hides, so this one didn't stump me for long.

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 quick find here. The camo is starting to come off the container a bit, but it's still tucked away from casual view. TFTC!

This was a nice easy find but worth it because of the good camouflage of the container. 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. Largest cache yet. 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.

15th find and a quick affair it was. The cache is packed with goodies.
All is good here.

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.

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.

Great looking cache, just had better days.
Having a few days away caching with d@geo
Thank you for the hide dghoffy and elysium_au

Found with gwd.aussie while on a caching long weekend road trip. I was lazy for this one and let gwd.aussie get out and grab.

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!

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

Found

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.

Found

Quick park and grab for AddictedGamer and I. Camo starting to fall off the poor thing and there are grubs living under it, much to the geodaughter’s horror. She doesn’t LOVE the outdoors too much. Tftc!!!

Found this one while driving through the area.

Greetings from a german cache team on vacation.

T4T$!

Finally mr oz has a win. On our wonder down to the Vic, mega at Alexandra. . 2542 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

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!
Lucky we are on our own here this afternoon. Just waiting for the traffic to ease so we can get back onto the highway.
Love your hides

Camo needs repair. One side is more exposed than the other so we carefully replaced so that it was less exposed. 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. A quick and easy find and we were soon on our way again. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

We had to stop for the geokids to spew! Lol! So caching was a great diversion! Very cool cache tftc

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.

F(H)ound It! #1787 - @3:24 PM

A quick stop and it was even easier to find than I was expecting. I love these containers, very clever and your trademark now. Thats me done for this trip, I've still got quite a few SST to collect...but that will be for another day. Thanks for the cache, dghoffy.

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.
