Find#2546Got up early this morning h to claim some of the caches that I have solved on the Lake Macquarie heritage series. Before I could get there I targeted this one. The container was broken and does need some maintenance TFTC
My notes say that a new container is needed. I also recall that the hiding spot is now the biggest ashtray Ive ever seen. I cant understand how people can litter like this. Tftc though.
For a wild moment I was worried the cache was buried in the large rock pile left by council, but thankfully it was in the first likely spot. Container needs replacing as there is a big hole in the lid. Road was very quiet
Didn't take long to find this one. Love our days packed full of adventures. Loving this series. Tftc
My GPS took me straight to this one. It will need some attention from the CO, as the container has a large hole in it. TFTC!
Back to this series for another fairly quick find. This one was a little bit further afield than a lot of the other guarded caches in this series but still a park and grab.
Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache!
Another wee find on our escape to the country. Happy New Year from Scotland TFTC
Found container had been muggles...put cache container and lid back together, dried out...log book a sodden mess so replaced with new log and baggy..tftc

We decided to drive up to Hunter Valley for the day to restock our Lemon Myrtle Vodka, tuck into a delicious sharing board and do a few caches around Pokolbin and Wollombi.
On the way back to Sydney along the Old Northern Road my wife allowed me to stop once for a cache. As this is the month of April, a motorcycle named Aprilla sounded very appropriate.

Once we got the, to and froing of the first two for the day, its a straight run, , all the way to Wollombi. Hard to search, with all these bikes riding past, most at speed. TFTC.
Out doing some caching today around Laguna and thought it about time I stopped for some more of this series. A quick find and the cache is in good condition.
Many thanks for the hide and the series.
Many thanks for the hide and the series.
Found 5:34 pm with partner. On another small something to do road trip with partner, I decided spur of the moment to head out to Wollombi Tavern and have her try out Dr Jurds jungle juice. We ended up with a large bottle of it. So of course when I got the chance and on the return journey I had to try and find some caches. This cache was easy to find as there was a suspect location. Signed the log and returned cache to its hiding spot.
Thanks for the cache.

I had already driven past here but had turned around because I was basically lost and running out of petrol. But hey now that I knew there was a cache here I was hardly going to drive right past again! No railing here but cache was soon found easily enough. Signed log and replaced as found.
This was my last of 10 finds for the day, no DNFs and I managed to get 6 of the first set of 7 wonders. Can't complain about that. TFTC!

Well, this is the most caches I’ve grabbed in a day for a while. And I needed to watch the clock so I could be back at the SCG in time for tonight’s NRL game.
I’d noted the 360 badge recently added to BadgeGen, and was a bit low on numbers near 0 degrees. Interestingly, I could fill in a few spots by driving to Wollombi. So I did!
Of course your numbers for this are only as good as your current home base - move and you start again. But I have no intention of moving anywhere anytime soon.
Went for 16 and found 15 of them.
And part way through I started following Riokun around. Or maybe we were going in opposite directions.
But a good day. Now to sit back and watch some footy.

Stopped at this cache on the home with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) after camping overnight. Parked car and walked to GZ with a quick find. Log signed and returned. TFTC
Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H). We were heading home after spending the night nearby. We parked a short distance away and walked to GZ. Once there we quickly spotted the hide. Log stamped and signed and we headed back to the car and continued on our way. TFTC.
Decided that now things are relaxed a little we would go for a drive. Managed to get service here and had a quick find. TFTC
I didn't find the hint very helpful, but I found it after the GPS settled down. Tftc.
We drove straight past many caches in this series on Friday afternoon while taking our daughter to the Wollombi Music Festival where she was volunteering for the weekend but didn't have time to stop. We had to pick her up today so we made sure we left early enough to pick up several caches along the way. This was the first one and the GPS didn't want to cooperate, it had been turned since Kulnura and still hadn't picked up enough satellites but using mapping software we knew where we needed to stop. The GPSr decided to cooperate eventually, just as we were arriving at the suspected GZ.
The cache was located very quickly, stamped and we were on our way to the next cache.
Thanks for the hide xPhenoms.

After a day out around Bucketty, Kulnura and Wollombi with friends we returned to The Letter A from where we had car pooled.
Everyone headed off home and I retraced our last couple of kilometres to grab this cache. It was in an obvious spot but I could have approached it in a much simpler direction.
Remarkably the trip back to Sydney was 5 minutes quicker than suggested by google and I did a large section well below the speed limit as there were so many bikies today taking risks overtaking on blind curves, before crests of hills and where there was insufficient room between our cars.
Tell your biking buddies to take it easy on these roads.

We soon found this cache once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and for the information on the cache page. Greetings from Zimbabwe
Travelling to Sydney from Brisbane and having stayed in Cessnock last night, I was looking forward to today's caches. Gotcha!
Found with tastygav on our first geocaching expedition. Really nice quick find in a lovely hiding place!
On a trip to drop off Christmas presents to the NSW family, and to see our new great granddaughter and now the long trip home. This cache provided a perfect excuse to travel slowly and grab a cache or two. Thanks jfindit for the stop off and chance to stretch our legs.

Heading up to Wollombi (in a car) but thought I would stop for one or two in this series - nice quick find -TFTC
We were driving back to Sydney today after a couple of days in the valley, and took the scenic route because it had a lot of caches along the way.
This was the next in the Classic Motorcycle series along our route, and was in a different location from that established by the previous.
The GPs was jumpy, and there was another obvious location, but I looked here first because the geo-senses said I had to, and there it was.

Stay overnight very worn out, then back again today some caches on way to Broke town., great enjoyed day, sign in ...
12:16:00 PM. Taking our time heading north. Just grabbing caches where we can park with the caravan. Better half found this one and the log was signed. time for some lunch. Thanks xPhenoms for the cache.
Found on the way to work at Coonabarabran. I found the hide about 15m NW of where the GPS was telling me to go. Many thanks jfindit.
Ellie snagged this one before we even got out of the car. With Kylie and Ellie. #42
Tftc, went on a georoad trip with Azzepious today. Initial plan was to head to Cattai and grab some from there then to the Windsor area. Well, we ended up changing our minds and heading to Broke up the Putty Road instead!
This was our return journey! Our GPS was playing up down here and we found ourselves overshooting the caches a few times and having to turn around to get them a few times. Otherwise a lovely trip in a lovely part of NSW!

We were not on a motorbike but being a Saturday there were lots of riders around. Found this with Lucy, eilox867 and bradpartridge. We took a souvenir plastic cockroach from the cache, and left behind a small My Little Pony for someone else to find.
Today was the day to keep chasing these series. Quickly found it!
Thanks jfindit

We added this series to out list of caches to search for today even though motorcycles are not a subject that we relate to at all. They were nice quick and easy finds and all logs were duly signed and replaced before we continued on our way. Thanks to xPhenoms for the series.
A nice & easy one, and big enough to squeeze in a trackable. TFTC!
Cheers,

Out today to get a few more on the classic motorcycle and the tweety bird runs. TFTC
Today we drove from Broke to Mangrove Creek Dam and had 40 finds and 4 DNFs. We had a great day! TFTC
Find #675
After our trip into Yengo to find 'From the Dreamtime' earlier this year, we
decided to explore further south today, so planned a route from home to Broke, then south through Paynes Crossing, Wollombi, Laguna, Bucketty, Kulnura and on to Mangrove Creek Dam. We then had an interesting drive home through Brush Creek Road through Yarramalong, so we now know where our next day out will take us...
Final stats for the day read at 40 finds, 4 DNFs and 280km traveled.
Some more of the Classic Motorcycle series was up first as we snaked down from Broke, we were cut short last time by the Williams Bridge closure. Good to see it has been replaced. We dropped a little gear carabiner in half a dozen of the Motorcycle caches today.

Found it with Snoopy1976, Contactpete and Spy79 after dinner when we decided to go for a trip up to Peats Ridge and do some more of this series. Our 6th find for the day. TFTC
#3 for the afternoon. It was far too nice a day to stay at home & indoors working. TFTC
After spending the morning with our. Other crew in the Crossfit community,
I received the call that would ultimately have us still enjoying ourselves till the wee hours Monday morning. We had done quite a few in this series some time ago, and tonight was a great chance to tick off several more after dinner that is of course.
A great way to spend the long weekend.
Never too hard, park and grab in this series.

Out and about with contactpete, Snoopy1976 and Dave 8153 we did a few more of this series as a bit of a spontaneous extension to the caches we had already got his afternoon. Some funny antics ended up emerging with park and grab turning into park and run!!!!!!!!!
Mr Minion suggested a drive in the country today , so we drove and cached . Thanks for the cache xPhenoms tnln sl
