Tyre Graveyard Kyeamba, New South Wales, Australia
By joeylovestreasure on 10-May-15. Waypoint GC5V6A5

Originally this cache was located waste deep in a huge truck tyre. Leaf litter has meant the tyre is full and the challenge has gone. Sadly it’s time to retire this one.

Found this one on the ground and open, lid is a bit broken. Needs some maintenance but we closed it back up as best we could and put it nearby

Needs a replacement container.

My what big ones! Tftc

Stretching our legs as we make our way North today in search of some winter sun and Vitamin Sea. Swapped out of the socks and slides into runners for this one. The junior Ez catchers were impressed with the tyres.
Container has 3 broken clips, however contents were only slightly damp. Log signed and back through the wet grass.

Found it. Big tyre. Good hide. TFTC.

Interesting place and why is the tyre here. Thanks joeylovestreasure

Loved this one what fun. On our way home after a fabulous weekend away kayak caching with friends.

# 5999 Found on the last day of our Murray Kayak trip. We found a few around Albury/Wadonga before heading back to Canberra in our own time. And thus another geo-adventure comes to a close.
Wow, this a a big tyre.
Thanks joeylovestreasure

Our first find as husband and wife!

We felt the need to go on a cache run, so we looked our area and made a plan.

Cache found in the obvious spot, signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for placing this cache, joeylovestreasure, for us and others to find.

Cache was found rather easily. Though the container has seen better days and could do with a replacement on the next maintenance visit. Thanks for the find.

Quick find while having a short break located, signed and returned the cache where found. All is in order, TFTC!

I heard that tyres have long memories, and often go to the same place to die. But they'd rather stay hidden away in their trunks. Or something like that, it sounded better in my head when I was wondering around here. Nice different type of GZ, soon had CIH, signed log and replaced as found. TFTC!

Watch out for snakes over summer, including inside GZ tyre.

Very snakey here, I really wish I hadn’t been wearing shorts and thongs. Nice and quick, it was always going to be there. Thanks!

Driving from Wangaratta towards Sydney. Needed a break. This truck stop was convenient for a kilometre of walking followed by morning tea, using a thermos. TFTC

Nice easy find. That sure is a big old tyre. TFTC!

Find 3327 on 4 July 2019

Found on our way north to OzGeomuster @ The Gong. A huge day for us. 633k yet only 10 caches. A good time had by all.

TFTC joeylovestreasure

An easy find on a cool morning.

Find Number 1987 found at 11:13. This was the 4th find of 11 finds and 2 DNF's today

I'm slowly heading up to my 2000th cache, which I want to find on my next overseas trip. We usually travel this route too quickly to stop for caches, but today we allowed extra time.

As I approached GZ, the location seemed obvious and there was the cache.

The cache was in good condition. We signed the log (sometimes we sign micro logs with G&T or GT) and replaced the container as found

Thanks joeylovestreasure for the cache.

Quick find thanks

Wow, this is certainly a big tyre graveyard. Aussie M & M from the JAM trio did the controlled dive to get to this cache.
Glad I didn't fall in as it was a deep dive required to retrieve the cache. Also glad the girls were not filming my less than graceful retrieval technique.
TFTC joeylovestreasure

We are on our way to Canberra for the Mega event and this was day 3 heading from Wodonga to Canberra stopping for a few caches along the way with three of us caching as JAM (JJ52, Aussie M&M and mogni) [^]

We stopped here to find the nearby puzzle and ended up with 2 trads as well, happy with that.

Thanks for the cache joeylovestreasure.

Out with JJ52 and Aussie M & M for a huge day 3 of travel to the Mega near Canberra. We are caching as JAM to save taking up space in all the caches we find. Todays leg was Wodonga to the Mega. Another glorious day for travelling and much fun and laughter was had. The ladder was well used and no injuries were had.
Thanks to joeylovestreasure from mogni

Found this cache on the trip North from Melbourne for the Mega in Canberra

The road is an easy drive with many rest stops.

TFTC

Breaking the trip to Queanbeyan. Over the ridge and a quick find tftc

A quick find of this one in a likely spot. That would have been a bugger to get off! TFTC

A couple of caches to break up the trip back to Canberra from a lovely short visit to Beechworth with my darling wife.

Yep, a couple of pretty serious tyres have found their final resting stop here. Probably not the best or most legal spot for them, but oh well. Cache found very easily and retrieved pretty much as easily. TFTC

TFTC,
Today was time to return home from a weeks Golf on the Murray.
While getting fuel and a coffee we solved one that just happened to take us past this one. After finishing that, it was time to get this one. Located the cache and signed the log.
Visited trackables.

The last cache in the area to be found, found container floating in water, signed log and replaced out of the water. Thanks to joeylovestreasure

With another day free, I decided on heading out to collect more caches and hopefully receive another souvenir from the current promotion. I decided on doing the loop that goes: Wagga to Kyeamba to Tarcutta and back to Wagga via Borambola. Out a possible 26 finds, I found 24 of them. It was a nice drive along the country roads and I visited many places I wouldn’t have visited otherwise. The trip from Wagga to Kyeamba had a couple of GCA finds and the first half of the W2T/T2W trail created by Roostaman. The next bit of the trip (Kyeamba to Tarcutta) were a lot of park and grabs along the highway. After a nice lunch, at ‘Joes Café’ in Tarcutta, it was time for the final part of the trip was around the back roads of Borambola and finishing with WWBridge#6. This means I only have the final cache in the Wagga bridge series to go. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s for placing and maintaining the caches I found and allowing them to bring enjoyment to me and others. TFTC’s
Today’s Totals:
20 GC Finds
4 GCA Finds
2 DNF

After completing the first half of the W2T/T2W trail I headed to this little truck stop to make 3 quick finds. This was the second of the 3. Yes, it is a bit of a tyre graveyard I walked though it to head for the third cache at this rest area. TFTC

Found after having a few weeks in Tasmania, our t first day back on the mainland. Traveling from Preston to Yass, Nice quick find for this one, while stretching the leggs, TFTC joeylovestreasure
# 1710 at 4:10:00 PM on 17Mar2019

Not the most picturesque location we’ve searched for a cache but two in the one stop was a bonus. TFTC.

Easy find, out past the discarded tissues and disposable nappies.
TFTC

Bit if a stroll into the bush

Replaced log and added some goodies

This cache made me tyred in a big way. Cache has seen better days and can do with some love. Tftc tnln

gz was soon spotted. unfortunately the cache container was open and looked quite dirty inside. but the log was still there (on the ground outside the box). i put it back together. TFTC!

#3291 Second cache collected at this wayside stop. A rather large tyre specimen discarded here. Was this tyre from a machine used in the construction of the freeway? The cache was soon spotted and Mr BGF stretched to gather it in. Thanks again joeylovestreasure, replaced as found.

*Found En route to Manly*

A pleasant 18° day with beautiful sunshine on a spring day. Thanks for placing the cache here. A nice chance to stretch the ol' legs.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment joeylovestreasure. Appreciate your efforts.

Stamped and returned as found...

Cache-On!

Great location. Wouldn’t want to look there during summer though.
Road trip - Wodonga to Sydney

Impressive. Good place for a driving rest. TftC.

This was a nice spot for a cache and a rather large tyre. It must have taken quite some effort to get it over there.

Wow! Big find!!!!

Bigger the better! Tftc

Well worked tyres

I am surprised no one has claimed these things they are actually worth a bit of money. Fun cache though

This was a great leg stretch for us on our way to the Lake Macquarie OZGeoMuster, as there were three caches to find. Found in the company of GoodLook and Micaparamedic, with Chunk doing the honours for this one. TFTC joeylovestreasure.

WOW, that was a BIG tyre!!!

What a nice little get away.....I needed some R&R and so decided to head across the border from SA to Victoria and then NSW to attend the OzGeoMuster Mega with friends.

I mainly hung out with the lovely micaparamedic and the fabulous ChooknChunk and I also enjoyed many happy moments with others.

Some of the stand out moments included: camping in Belanglo State Forest and doing a night cache at 1am; 4wding and having water over the car bonnet; sitting around and chatting/chilling; sleeping loads; relaxing continuously and then watching some fab fireworks (thanks Team Crackers), and all in all a much needed break. Gary and I slowly made our way back to Bendigo before heading back to Adelaide.

Thanks so much for the cache joeylovestreasure!

What a whopper! TFTC

Found on the way north to the Oz GeoMuster in Morisset.
Well, THAT was a good test for the new hip! Haha
Cheers joeylovestreasure

Quick find as was sitting out in the open. Thanks for the cache.

Made a quick stop as we head north to visit family then to the mega. Mr 80 was sent to locate this one. TFTC

Found it with Snoopy1976 while out caching today. TFTC

Another cache,a bonus, I finally found it in the pitch black, lucky I had my torch with me and I didn't run into it as it appeared from the dark.TFTC

It must have taken some energy to dump this huge cache decoy here SL, TFTC

Each year I follow the Aust Solo Speedway Championships which are held over four meetings. This year those meetings are at Kurri Kurri nsw, Undera vic, Mildura vic, and Gillman sa.
It only seems sensible to do some geocaching along the way. It helps to break the driving and I get a lot of enjoyment from it.
Please excuse this generic log as there are too many to do them individually, but I certainly appreciate the dedicated work of all the COs in providing us with this great hobby.

Out and about on the way home, found a few after parting with the Webby's at Holbrook rd, we found some really good caches today, it was a awesome day to be out as a cachers, in country side not seen for so long it was mostly forgotten
thanx to all cache placers for making the day what it was , awesome
cheers from the Routers

That is a serious bit of kit - they were determined getting it that far into the bush - TFTC

Headed down to Victoria with steeba and Hoojar to be part of the 3rd Victorian Mega celebrations in Alexandra. Our 3-day leave pass ensured we’d be constantly on the go! From 300 finds in the Mt Disappointment area to 10 different cache types there was never a dull moment.

This was day 3 of our road trip and it was time to head for home but not before we bagged a few more caches around Wangarratta and then some highway finds.

Thanks to all the cache owners who contributed to a great 3 days caching with my fellow caching buddies. My apologies about the template style log, it certainly doesn’t detract from the thrill of the ‘find”.

TFTC

Found as part of a few days away with my great caching mates The Rats and Hoojar. Our main aim was the Mega event in Alexandra but we managed to find most of the Mt Disappointment series, did 9 or 10 cache types in a day (side trip to Mt Buller and then Melbourne CBD). Some great laughs, camping under the stars, a nicely organised Mega and some great wildlife (koala and echidnas ). TFTC!

The idea of going down to Victoria and to the Alexandra Mega was original floated by Steeba. Normally Megas are not something that I am super keen to attend, but the opportunity of also collect some serious numbers on the Mount Disappointment caching trail, and finding some Lab Caches really helped to sweetened the deal. I was in, along with my long time caching buddies Steeba and The Rats.

We left Wollongong at 8pm on Thursday evening, returning at 5pm on Sunday, 2,500km and over 400 cache finds later. With less than a handful of DNFs, a wonderful result!

Highlights of the trip included:
- Finding over 330 caches on Friday, the entire Mount Disappointment trail;
- Finding ten unique cache types on Saturday, which included a drive to both Mount Buller for a Web Cam, and then back for a late night Melbourne CBD visit for a Virtual;
- Meeting up with a few local Wollongong cachers in Alexandra;
- Setting two new personal records, for my most cache finds and cache types in a day;
- The always good company and banter of Steeba and The Rats;
- Seeing six echidnas, and a koala (my first sighting of a koala on the ground in the wild); and
- The absolute highlight of the trip was watching Sir The Rats be inducted into the Australia Geocaching Hall of Fame (or maybe the jokes that Steeba and I had over the weekend over the honour!).

Thanks to all of the cachers that hid caches for us to find over our short trip away. I have little doubt in thinking that we will be back to these parts again at some stage to find more caches!

Cheers

found on the way home from a road trip, quick find as the location was spotted as soon as I walked up the small hill from parking the car. I wish people wouldn't use these areas to dump rubbish

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

How do all the tyres end up there? TFTC

Found on the way home from a weekend at Benalla. Grabbed in between showers of much needed rain and the quick find and sign and back on the road. Thanks for the cache. Cheers 4 Now

Yay! Easy find.

*14/7/17, Found @ 3:59 pm, Find # 6774.*

While heading to Canberra for the Mega lead up event plus a couple of others and a few other missions along the way, I headed along the Hume, I made a few stops here and there.
There is certainly a few old tyres littering the area and there is certainly a big range in sizes.
The cache was found and I was on my way.

**Thanks to joeylovestreasure for placing this cache.**

Found by The Empire
A quick find along the highway on my way to Canberra! Loved this one, used it for a hilarious pun on Instagram. Thanks for the cache, joeylovestreasure.

Day 2 of the Australia 3-day orienteering champs. Today's event was in Murraguldrie forest, so I cached my way there and back from Wagga Wagga. Easily found. TFTC.

It's amazing what people leave in the bush.

Nice quick find. Geodaughter was handy for this one. TFTC

Tftc

Stopping for a cache or two along the Hume we had a laugh at the hiding spot and appreciated the themed title.
Thanks heaps for the placement.

Day 1 of our road trip to Central NSW and what is a road trip without some caches along the way. We stopped here for another driver change and to pick up the two caches at this wayside stop. After finding our way through the many spiders webs, which all had quite large spiders on them, we made it to GZ and it was then a quick easy find. TFTC. TNLN.

Quick find by Geoson on the way to Canberra.

Tftc. Easy find by Mrs Jaybeem, but she was too short to climb in.

Easter Road trip with Black Bunny.
I didn't know this many people existed! There is traffic everywhere!
Quick find here.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Road trip with Just a cacher to do a little bit of caching.

Sometimes work gets in the way of caching and it's time to redress the balance.

Thanks for the cache!

Had a long three days of caching with a total of 2054 km done! Enjoyed every minute of it despite some dissapointments as well. Most caches I found were really nice and in good condition, thanks to all the CO for putting them out there! Trip Kiama-down the Hume to Albury/Wodonga-Along the Murray to Cobram-back to NSW and via Hay to Ivanhoe=back down to Griffith-Temora-Yass and home.

Found at 0949. On our way to Canberra today leave the border region behind. Nice easy find this make two finds in 1 rest area. TFTC.

Quick find. The flies are BAD this year. TFTC joeylovestreasure.

The start of our holidays and BettyBoo3747 and I headed for Queanbeyan.
A lovely day to be on the road and we picked up a few caches as we travelled.

The cache had about a few thousand guardians when I went to grab it today - I kept my mouth shut!
Interesting sized tyre, but a bit big for the go cart I think.
Thanks, Robmc.

#11172. The first day of our two week Canberra Holiday and it was a travelling day between Beechworth and Carwoola with several caches thrown in for good measure. Robmc and I enjoyed our trip under the clear blue skies and jet streams. What a way to finish Spring!

Now that's a tyre, no mistake. Signed and returned and on we go.

Thanks joeylovestreasure
