Nice little drive tftc!

Nice view

Good fun cache thanks

Easy find plenty of coal trains passing by, couldnt sign log has been wet and dried out causing it to stick together

Found but couldn't sign as it has been wet.

Find # 9550
This took us a bit of effort to find.

Exactly what the hint says

Found but hard to sign

Tftc
Cache is intact and in place but log unsignable due to water in cache

TFTC

Taking my daughter for a driving lesson and stopped to stretch the legs, a police car and two trains went past while we were here. A quick find at GZ but the cache is too wet to sign . Photo evidence provided. Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found

Waterlogged. Needs new log.

Found with my beautiful girlfriend. Had to get through some long grass but wasn’t too much of a hike. Helps to wear long pants.

Day out caching with GeoIan. A great effort for this cache. TFTC

After finding the right side of the road, a bee line was made for gz, and soon had cache in hand. Appreciate the effort put into making this container. Well Done!

Great location TFTC

Good one

Found with Shaneo58. Doing some caches around the Greta area, since our neck of the woods was expecting rain all day. Took a little while to work out how to best get here.
Replaced as found.

**Thanks For The Cache** TACK123.

This is the 5th cache of 12 for today making a grand total of 3144 at 9:57:00 AM on Thu 6May2021

Found with BillHill531. Just missed the Coal train passing. TFTC Tack123

Tftc TAK123, cool container, took some effort to create.FP

Great find. Great location. TFTC

Nice quick find along our adventures for the day
TFTC

Which corner could it be . Even saw two trains, one empty and one full. TFTC

Yey. Took me a while to get my bearings but got there in the end. Too many corners!

Pretty difficult

We camped at the rest area in Branxton and ventured out to do some caching around the area. We enjoyed the variety of hides. Thanks to TACK123 for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Found tyftc. Trying to beat local geo to
1500 finds before dec 31. Find#1472

This is an interesting place to find a cache, the co-ords are good and the cache is in good condition. No trains for us today. SL TFTC

We didn’t see any trains today but we certainly got to see a clever cache with spot on coordinates.


Thanks TACK123 for the placement.

QuickFind whilst filming trains during Steamfest

Found at 1:28 PM GAFF1.
Wasn't expecting to go all the way down there, however right on que a very long coal train rumbled past at about 10 kmp/h.
Nice hide!
Thanks TACK123

We have set up camp at the Kurri Kurri sports club.
Todays trip was west towards Lochinvar & Braxton, we planned our route to find the most caches.
No trains today just another very good cache. FP given even though we do see alot like this.
A variety of cache types & hides found.
Thanks for placing this cache TACK123

Found today on our trip up to do some caches up here in this area with my Dad, Lee737.

### ***TFTC!!*** ###

Find #2702
On the last day of school holidays, what started as a quick hour or two became a DNF avenging mission, with 4 blue faces sent packing, for a tidy innings of 21 finds from Kurri to Maitland, through Lochinvar.
Another DNF avenged. Coordinates still point 20m down to the line, but we brought reinforcements today, from the car toolkit, and the cache was in our hands in seconds.... Looking at GZ there are a couple of natural TOTTs that would be helpful too.... TFTC TACK123, well made too.....

a cow came over and said hi to us. tftc.

Out for a quick few cache's with the family and this was a great find. TFTC

On tour over in NSW from Adelaide with a Muggle mate whom is into trains

[I saw this one was "Trackside" and there is "Coal" in them there trains so I just had to go for this one while we waited].

Nice quick find whilst in the area to grab some Coal Train pics with the Railfan Muggle mate. Nice work on the cache, loved it, offloading a Favourite point for the creativity and workmanship [^]

SL at 16:02 on Wed 3 Oct 2018, in failing light, whilst the coal train we were waiting for passed by {see pic}

The cache and contents are good and dry [^] TFTC TACK123

TFTC. Also thanks for the hint. It was way too hard to open but a nearby rock helped me. Great hide. Never give up.

Did not find, suspicious of trainspotting muggle

Cycled here from the top of Station Lane this morning, made a quick find and waved to the passing coal train. TFTC!

Found today out with Mrs wooness. Very cool hide.
TFTC team wooness

The ants from earlier this month have gone! And we needed a little strength to access. Tftc!

Found it but full of ants

Found with Beary_Unicorns, log full of ants

Quick easy find with Banj Ward. Log was full of ants so we made daddy log it for us

Got it

I have checked this today and it’s still there but can be a bit hard to remove if someone has put it back on to tight

No can find today. Found the blue clip from a Sistema.

5 DNFs in a row - maybe needs some Maintenance.

Couldn't locate this one today will have to come back but gps was directing us through fence which we didn't go through

I Thought i found it easy but appears it may be a decoy?. App still had us 7m out but wanted me to climb through a barb wire fence leading to a large embankment down to the train tracks. The grass was very long and thick in the area so if it was at ground level it might have been covered well and truly.

Searched around for this but couldn't find

Another DNF.... 3 in a row! Even a PAF didn't help us..... Coords were pointing into the rail corridor?

TFTC!! Almost at 100!!!! 4 more to go!

Grabbed this one on the way home after having lunch at Polkolbin. Thought we had spotted it but turned out we were wrong, then checked the hint and had it quickly in hand. Thanks TACK123

Quick stop and grab

Looked for this one not long after I first started Geocaching without. Now with a little experience under my belt it was a nice easy find. TFTC

Found at 1232. The hint led me to the GZ but getting the cache wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. But I soon had it and while I was signing the log a seemingly endless coal train came past, I was back in the car some 100M's away and it was still going. TFTC.

A quick park and grab, whilst we spend time caching around the Hunter Valley and surrounds. Great camo and design. Nearly blown away by the strength of the winds as we walked to GZ. Took TB SL TFTC

All fixed and ready to be found again

Just going to do a bit of fixing up on this one it will be back soon

Cache found

Careful with the clue on this one. Interference in the area can end u up on an unsafe corner

Found with the geomum, great hint and a coal train past us while I wAs signing the log. Huge modern station and a old hotel nearby, that doesnt look like either get used TFTC

Nice quick find may need to park about 150 metres away as to not Park on the corner of the road. Thanks for the cache.

Searched high and low but unfortunately couldn't find

Tftc

Great place.

Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 43.246 E 151° 26.868

Distance from original: 61.6 feet or 18.8 meters.
a new made cache and a new home very close to the old

ready to be found again .

Took a while due to the satellite photo being out of date but it was worth the find. Also picked up Snoopy

Will fix this one up.

After a short search at the expected spot and not finding anything, I widened my search, took the geocachers' super highway, and nearly stumbled over the cache sitting out, open to anything and everything. It seems an odd place for the cache to be sited. Maybe the CO could check whether it is correctly placed?

Agree 6 mts east to gz

found it!

Found it, left a trackable and a few swaps, found with scalex9 and kingfisher_au

This was our last cache for today. Once arriving at GZ we searched around for about 10mins with no such luck. We made a PAF to see if they could help. After searching around for about another 5mins we were about to give up. I decided to read a previous log which gave us a hint. We were searching in the wrong shrubs. The cache is approx 6mtrs out north from where the listed co ords put you. The container is wet & log is damp, we still managed to sign it though. TFTC

That was immensely frustrating but ultimately rewarding experience. Found cache about 6m north of where coordinates had GZ located. Got there in the end though. TNLN. TFTC.

I have checked on this cache after the storm and all is still good and now dry.

After a DNF here the other night, I came back a bit earlier today. While I chatted on the phone I wondered around aimlessly, even going on the wrong side of the fence, which was a long way down. Then I came back and found the decent sized cache just sitting there. I opened it up and the container was full of water, I tipped it out and dried it as best I could. The log was still OK to sign. Could do with a little extra attention from the CO though. I put it back where I found it and was soon on my way home. While there I saw two coal trains heading in either direction, one full and long, one empty and short (should it not have been the other way around).
Thanks for the search, train spotting and cache (glad it is still there after the storm)!

Had a decent look for this one. It was dark and the grass was wet. Hopefully I just missed it and the storm did not take it away.

TFTC. While out looking a trains at Maitland steamfest with Army of Two and Hotpinkstar and another mate of mine that didn't know what geocaching is. We were setting up for taking a photo when my mate thinking it was a empty box though someone leaving their rubbish behind on closer inspection it was the cache . TFTC

Got nothing! I spent about half an hour here, tramping up and down for zilch.

Lo tengo 1315hrs

This took more than a little time to discover. The camo colour and dark hiding place made me scour the site for 15 minutes or more before making the find.

Coords are good but the container had water inside although it didn't spoil the contents. I don't know how water would get in, the lid is well sealed.

I saw this one come online after I woke up, as I've been doing nightshift in Lochinvar. So just after 3am when I finished I made my way to GZ and made a quick find.
