Found on a pit stop. Tftc

Well that's awkward. Went to change a log and drop a TB and the cache has gone.

I won't be back for a while so will free up the location for another hide.

Thanks to those who visited this lovely memorial.

Tftc

No plant in front of it anymore! Got it tho

Tnlnsl nice little park and cache, thanks!

I had to find this as the others had already found it. Thanks

It's my first geocache find. I haven't used a compass all that much but it ended up being a quick and easy find with the help from cacher JohnoMawbs. Tftc

Great easy find after dropping Ethan home. Geoson Chris even got a piggyback, but then wanted to know what a war was. Hard to explain human nature some times. Great spot, TFTC

Nice spot - Found while making the 29th turn from white to green ta.

A quick find today when making the most of this leap year day - can't understand why I missed it last time I looked! TFTC

Great little memorial. Cache is guarded well ☺

Very easy find!

Found with Sarah

Found on my way back to Melbourne after visiting family in Canberra.

It's nice to have a cache here where people stop. TFTC joeylovestreasure.

Took a trip out of town with family and decide to do some caching time, nice hide. Thanks joeylovestreasure

Needed a toilet break so thought a good one to knock off the list

One not to forget: I (RoddyC) lost my balance and fell off the wall into the long grass below, thankful that there was no water in the area below. Mrs RoddyC laughed, as it is usually her job too do the fall-overs while caching! But it added to the fun of the crisp night air.

Found at 10:39pm on 29th December, 2015. TFTC.

A two day trip to Canberra to pick up a few caches and to attend an event.
With a good variety of cache hides, we were kept busy.

Cache was found quickly, and in good condition. Signed the log, and replaced.
Many thanks for placing this cache, joeylovestreasure, for us and others to find.

Thanks for the cache!

On our drive back from Melbourne to Canberra today, we stopped here for a break. We have never noticed this little plaque or memorial before, and it was great to take a break in the late afternoon although by this time it was very windy and starting to get quite cool. A contrast in the weather from earlier today!

Thanks

There was no paper log in the cache today, so we have added a piece of paper which will suffice for a short while.

Found this cache while travelling South from Sydney and after visiting a friend living in the area. I approached GZ a bit warily because of the dry conditions and sure enough encountered a 'friend' camped 2 'doors' down from the cache. Luckily I spied a leg. It wasn't a snake. The cache is in excellent condition and has plenty of log room. TFTC. It has been my first cache for quite a while.

Nice little cache...we should really learn to read the description before hunting! Tftc

Tftc!

Nice quick find while the cricket was on the oval...TFTC!

Quick grab on the way to Canberra from central Coast.... stay for month spend time with family for xmas... easy found and good hide well... Thank

Cache was out in the open, signed the logbook and hid it from muggles.

Decided to find a couple of caches on my way back from a "Feeling Fishy Field Day" (run by the local Landcare groups in the Yass area) because it had been over a month since I had been caching (yikes!) - this was the first of 3 caches I looked for, and found
TFTC - interesting little spot (I parked in the parking area/rest stop and wandered over the hard way - lol)
(sorry about the lateness of the log entry - life kind of got in the way, now having a catch up and logging the way too few caches I have found in the last month or 3)

#1137 On my way back to Canberra after completing the Endangered Species Power Trail with the Green-martian, I need more caches for today. 119 of them is just not enough. Found just as it was getting too dark to see anything. After a short search, I found the cache. Thanks JLT.

T.FTC
Signed and returned

I was getting very sleepy on my way home, so desperately needed a break. This cache was very well placed to provide an excuse for a leg stretch. Easily spotted - TFTC!

T4TC

Will log later

Took a little while to find it as it was buried halfway to China under leaves, back in a more sensible spot now.

Found with allrounder watching over as she had made the find before. I was wary of spiders and snakes that's for sure. Took $2 coin and left pathtag.

TFTC

F(H)ound it! 8:45am

On our way to Leeton to pick out a new puppy. I realised we needed to stop for petrol and the facilities. And lookee there! a cache is hidden nearby. The Reluctant Geo-spouse chatted with a local nursery-man about wisterias while I investigated the memorial. Nice spot for a 4 leg stretch, Thanks for the cache joeylovestreasure

Ridgeo-pup pic attached:

My first ever geocache!!! 4yo son said we were on a treasure hunt and was so so excited when we found it.
Beware of snakes and spiders!

Was bit worried about the amount of muggles that were parked here when I drove past a couple of days earlier. Thought it might be one of those caches I'd just have to leave but on closer inspection of the map I saw it was away from the more popular area of the place.
After grabbing some eats I came back to have a wander around the memorial, eating my lunch and drinking my coffee whilst doing so, just basically looking the tourist

Cache was found , signed and placed back all unnoticed.

TFTC, Cheers.

Quick find when on a toilet stop on route to Melbourne. TFTC

Found with Secret Squirrel on our way to Yass. Spotted it straight away. TFTC

Little bit of back and forth - but found!

Thanks

Warming found snake in rocks

#1257 3 of 10 today.

I was meeting a friend for lunch at Murrumbateman today so I spent the last afternoon of my holidays gathering a few caches in and around the area.

A quick find and mercifully not a nano.

Thanks for the cache joeylovestreasure.

Stopped for a drink and a stretch on the way home, couldn't resist a bit of caching.
TFTC.

After a great weekend in Canberra it was time for me to leave, so on the way out I grabbed a couple of caches that were easily accessed like this one Thanks for the fun jpeylovestreasure

Quick find in a lovely location TFTC

Saturday had arrived and the sun was out-so I decided to make the most of it and nab some more caches in Yass as well as several others on the way

Swung by this one on my geomission. Arrived at GZ and then it was on with the search. Spied the hide shortly after but had to wait out a kid nearby playing in a tree to move off before I could retrieve it. Once gone, I made the pounce and sign before replacing and then heading back to the car. Lots of happy frogs croaking away nearby!

Thanks for the hide, joeylovestreasure

Found it.

Easy find with JetFuselage on an impromptu geo road trip to Murrumbateman for some caching on this dreary day. TFTC

Found today with my Mum, Boeing737. We had a late lunch at the nearby picnic tables and I had an awesome time on the swings. TFTC

Found this one today while the CO, ZQX and I were on our way back to Canberra after a mega weekend of caching around the Albury Wodonga area.

I needed a pit stop, and JLT wanted to make sure the log was okay, so we stopped in here, even though the home lights beckoned in the distance. Came at this one from the wrong angle to start with, but made and adjustment, and the cache was in hand quickly after that. The log was just fine

Thanks JLT for the cache!

I stopped here after dropping my kids off at Warrambui for the weekend. Cache easily found. TFTC.

Quick stop, quick find.TFTC

Nice easy find for the kids. TFTC

Easy first find. Good for beginners.

Tftc caching on my road trip to lighting ridge

Nice cache

Found it!

Stopped here for lunch while driving to Canberra and thought we'd get a quick find.

We went out for a drive as it was such a lovely day. We just happened to end up looking for a few caches.

Thanks for the cache, joeylovestreasure! And for the pathtag! If you'd like one of mine, let me know.

After a mini caching run in Yass with Just a cacher we decided to stop and grab a cache or two on the way home.

No lizard today, but a quick find on the cache.

Thanks joeylovestreasure.

Yum found a big snail for the lizard and tonnes of froggies at 7pm, tftc didnt take pthtag

Time for a short break on our way to Canberra. Quick find. Cache in good order

Replaced log and left a Pathtag

TFTC - nice location

Found with O319 on a day trip to Goulburn, Gunning and Yass.

Have been to this rest stop a few times over the years, hunting for caches... But never to this side! Cache was nicely hidden. The logbook is all but full - still a few blank corners here and there, but would probably want to get replaced soonish... Thanks JLT.

Found with justjessie on our day trip

Very good spot. It was getting dark so the park was clear of muggles. TFTC.

A nice memorial for those locals who served in war zones.

Gee road is busy today, why are we caching on a public holiday? Found the cache but can't find a pie! Nice memorial location.

Clever

Tftc. With Lachdown

Gumby Maca and I stopped off for a cache and driver swap on our way back home from Melbourne. A nice quick find even though it was dark. TFTC.

On our way home Janine's 1st find. Di left Ladybug, took blue bug. TFTC

[green]On our way back to Canberra from a trip to the footy in Melbourne, and seemed like a good place to have a pit-stop, swap drivers and grab a cache. It was quite dark already, but with phones in hand our way was lit. We decided to wander the long way around and get a good stretch, and as luck would have it that took us pretty much straight to the cache [^] Nicely placed, and out of the immediate way - my kind of hide! [blue]Thanks for cache joeylovestreasure

Heading to Canberra to be shown the old stomping ground of JB. The pub looked like a good place for lunch so we made a quick find and enjoyed a good pub lunch.

Found with Pacmania. Thanks

nice easy find while wife cooked breakfast.
------ TFTC 1046 -----

Lots of bees in the bush, so looked around until I spotted it, then made a quick grab!

Thanks

Found on way to Canberra for a few nights

Find 1 on a trip down to Wagga Wagga. A quick and easy find on a fairly chilly morning. The wind had that wintery nip to it. Thanks joeylovestreasure.

Followed the suggested route and luckily the plethora of muggles were missing at the crucial moment. Nicely hidden cache and a good place to stop and break the journey- thanks.

Nice place for a break and a stroll. Lots of muggles around but fortunately they found somewhere else to be as we found the cache. Thanks.

9380 + 1058 = 10438. Late find today after a quick trip up the highway.

After a DNF in Canberra I decided a quick trip up the Barton was required to grab a cache today. So after dropping the kids home I did the slight detour and arrived at the Park. Looked around and read through the memorials. Then it was follow the arrow time for a quick find. Lovely.

Thanks joeylovestreasure !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

3rd on an easter roadtrip. Stopped for a late lunch and a cache

The find was pretty obvious as the cache was visible despite the vegetation. There wasn't a lot I could do to fix it as a few muggles were nearby...
