Forgotten Picnic Ground Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia
By Bekperry on 10-May-15. Waypoint GC5V9E4

We found bits and pieces but no container. Maintenace needed.

This cache needs maintenance and I no longer live in the area. If someone is able to fix it for me that would be great otherwise I will need to disable it.

Looks like it's been vandalised

Found evidence scattered around obvious ground zero. It appears to have been muggled!

Now this was a good hide.

Found while on a trip away with tmann421, heading to the MEGA in Canberra
Signed as TM/WW NZ
Thanks for the placement

Trip away with woolwood9 hunting containers in the area.
Stamped logs as TM/WW NZ or in pen as tm421/ww9
Another nice find for us today, thanks for putting this cache out.

On our way to Queanbeyan Mega, caching along the way. Staying close by decided to grab a couple of caches. Log may be stamped Coongoola or small logs signed CG. SL

Thanks for placing this cache Bekperry

Wow! this was reeeally difficult to extract without child sized hands! Got there in the end though!

Luckily I’m used to this sort of thing so it was an easy reach in and grab.

Nice hide tftc log signed

The kids enjoyed the chase and found it fairly quickly. It is a fascinating spot and I also wonder what it would have been like in its hey day. The brick structure looks to have once had a window. Perhaps it was for communications? Ticket sales? No idea. Interesting.

A quick and easy find as the day warms up.

Found

Cool spot, not sure what the brick structure is. Nice view of the river.

Nice little hide hole

Found on a walk today. Got to gz and made a quick find. As i was signing the log. Up pulled a work ute. I put the cache back and they drove up to it. Nice to meet a fello cacher in the field. Even tho your a ford fan tftc

Neat hide spot and a top spot for geodog, who thoroughly enjoyed his swim on this hot morning. Tftc

Nice easy find. Cache has been replaced with container. Train went by too.

Found! Thanks!

What a lovely place this would be green. But boy oh boy those blackberries are vicious. Quick find still in good condition. Tftc

After a day out learning about orienteering with school, I finally found some interest in geocaching and asked if I could tag along with Noodles22 on his caching trip this morning. Catapult07 joined us for a long drive along Wombeyan Caves road before reaching our first cache.
With only 3 hours of daylight left we managed to get our hands on 22 caches. But it wasn't until halfway through them did i decide on getting my own caching name.
Hope to continue on with this game.
Thanks for the cache.

When I heard that Noodles22 was going out caching worth my other brother, newly named Wombat2005, i jumped aboard and joined them. At that time I didn't know how far we were going. After a long windy road and a case of car sickness the we reached the caching ground.
Another 22 to add to my score on this cold day.
Thanks for the cache.

I woke up this morning a bit too early for my comfort, but by the time any plans were made it was late morning already. When I decided to return to Taralga (via Wombeyan Caves Rd) and find the trail of caches leading to Goulburn two of my little brothers asked to tag along, Catapult07 and Wombat2005. Of course they couldn't go on any road trip without their electrical devices to play on, as a consequence we needed a couple of stops to recover from car sickness.
FINALLY we made it to our starting point we needed to stop for a late lunch. AND ONLY THEN COULD WE FIND ANY CACHES!
Wet managed to find 22 before the sun disappeared and the temperature plummeted even lower than it was.
Thanks for the cache.

I thought it would be in the man made structure, but I found it in a natural hiding spot.

Nice and quiet spot.

**# 16668** Found on the start of our 2017 winter escape trip.
Easter Monday in Goulburn and a day of driving around town again.
And another nice sunny day with not many muggles around.
Mostly good quick finds today for my last day here on this trip.
Thanks for the cache Bekperry,

A lovely spot for a introduction to geocaching

Found with Justjessie on our Goulburn adventure. TFTC.

Found with O319 on our day trip to Goulburn.. TFTC!

Goulburn Day 2.
We have set up camp at the VC rest stop. Caching with Liz and Bruce again today.
Today we were more in the town area. Walked the Woodlands while it was not too hot.
We had a nice tiki tour of the town on our caching tour.
Thanks for placing this cache Bekperry

We are heading to South Australia before heading to the event in Alice Springs. Today we teamed up with Di and Bill from the team DiMorgan and traversed many of the streets of this lovely town to find caches. This was one we were able to find. Thanks to Bekperry for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

TikvaNZ and I decided to head to the NSW caching event in Goulburn today via Gunning! We found all but one cache we looked for, but missed a few more in Gunning due to high muggle activity (8am on a Sunday)! After the event, we found a few more in Goulburn before heading down the Hume home. It was a great day grabbing caches with TikvaNZ and thanks to all the COs

34th for the day and a quick find at 1335. This was a bit of an odd spot! We were attracted to the man made feature first, but good coords had us set to rights quickly. Small hidey hole! TFTC

For a forgotten spot there were endless muggles cache proved very hard to get out of its hidding spot. Don't put fibers in there are spiders

#7479 @1330
AngelG27 and I teamed up to share transport and cache our way to Goulburn for today's event. We had an early start to make the most of the morning, starting in Gunning. Once found, I had difficulty getting the cache out, but got there in the end. TFTC.

TFTC bekperry. Cache in good condition. Right at coordinates. Interesting part of town.

Decided to make a day of finding a few remaining caches in town before the Goulburn invasion which will hopefully see lots of cachers exploring this beautiful town and surrounding areas.

TFTC TNLN.

On approach I thought it was going to be else where but then the gps settled and straight to it,

6069 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1410 on a tour of some of the out of the way locations of Goulburn. Starting to warm up again so we had slowed down and were just cruising. Had some difficulty getting the container with baby's big hands and the Mrs don't do that in the summer. SL Tnx Bekperry.

We drove straight up to GZ and made a quick find.
Couldn't really figure out how it was a picnic ground though, all we could see was the brick structure. Just a bit of a grassy location...

Hmmm thanks for the cache!

Found at 11:57 AM GAFF1.
The picnic area may have been forgotten, but it is still being mowed! The grass had been cut just recently, so we drove right down to GZ. It is a lovely spot, but no sign of any tables or seats.
I thought that brick building may have been a pumping station.
Thanks Bekperry.

Happy Halloween, At goulburn meet geofriend to around of town for caches for a day...
Great enjoyed around here to easy find as no trouble.
Thanks for having us here

On the way south with the van and detoured for a couple of caches in Goulburn.
A great place by the river but don't be taken in by what you first see . Finally located and did the business. TFTC Bekperry.

No one around today down here .
Beaut spot by the river though .
Thanks for the hide.

A day trip to Goulburn and after a drive to Pejar, it was back into town and over for this one. No real problems at GZ and the cache was soon in hand. Looks like no has had a picnic here for a long time.....nice to visit though and see a part of Goulburn I hadn't been to before.

Thanks for the cache Bekperry......

A days caching with steeba and Hoojar had been a few weeks in the planning. The all-important question of where to go, loomed….. A quick study of the gc.com map showed an influx of new caches in the Goulburn area so today we set about finding the plethora of caches that dotted the region.

Under cloudy skies this cache was one of the 70 we found today.
Thanks to all the CO’s for their respective hide.

I was out for a day of caching with The Rats, steeba and Juno. We had been planning and solving for a few weeks in preparation. Our main target area was to clear out Goulburn, which seems to have had quite an influx of caches over recent months, I swear it was not that long ago that I had none anywhere near here to find!

On a cool day we had an early start and managed to knock over around 70, mostly before lunch too! This was one of the many finds for the day. Thanks to all of the cache owners for placing their hides, I look forward to coming back to town soon to find our couple of DNFs.

Did our best not to get bogged here.

Cheers

Found on a run to Goulburn for the day with The Rats and Hoojar.

Goulburn has seen an explosion of caches in recent times and we spent our time enjoying our trip around town finding caches. TFTC!

11758. A last minute decision and Sol de Lune, specimenX and I (in most logs as FSS or FS) were heading up to Goulburn for a big day of caching.

After we all had lunch and SDL left for home and work, specimenX and I Continued our campaign to clean up Goulburn, and this was the next one on the list. There were no problems and we had a quick find at GZ. Signed the log, returned the cache and we headed off to the next one.

Thanks Bekperry !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Quick easy find

JetFuselage and I decided to do some caching around Goulburn today. We had planned a big day but I was feeling a little under the weather so it was a late start for us from Canberra and hence only 10 finds. The GPS was all over the place here as there was a lot of cloud cover. Nevertheless it was a quick find in the second most obvious spot. TFTC

Found with mum in the second spot we looked, TFTC

I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” Throsbyonchurch and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.

Easy find, thanks!

Found it . -- 4:17 PM -- SL TNLN TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here. Cache in good condition. Having an awesome day today as we hoot around Goulburn seeing areas we have never been before. This was one of them. What a lovely reserve, and I enjoyed seeing the old rattler up the road, makes for a lovely photo in the evening sun.

Found nice and quick however cache isn't a small glass spice jar

Found it TFTH nice place

Creepy. Found at night

Attempted this one again today. Interesting to see that the container is now different, and the hide has been made 'snake proof' (although I can't see any maintenance logs). Found quickly this time on a very quiet afternoon.

Thanks

Set out to find a couple of geocaches in Goulburn today. Arrived at GZ found cache, signed log roll and replaced. Thanks for bringing us to this great location.

Great cammo. Made a quick find. TFTC

Some of the Goulburn caches gave taken us to places we would have never come to, they give us a whole new perspective on Goulburn

After visiting the family in Sydney, I had some time up my sleeve so I decided to clean up some caches on the way back to the Can

Next one to target on my Goulburn detour was this one. Drove the geomobile up nice and close to this one to make it a virtual driveby! Love the camo over the hiding spot-blends in very well!

Thanks for the hide, Bekperry

What a beautiful place.

Thanks for bringing me here.

Carried on the trend of the Easter weekend with some geocaching today. Sent the boys of the family off to do some fishing, then joined them the long way round via a few caches. Happy hunting with Kacey1973 and our Muggle Mum.

Our second stop, another place we didn't know existed. We too contemplated the origins of the brick building - some sort of pump house? - for a while after a quick cache grab. Container changed from what is mentioned in the description. TFTC

A nice spot. TFTC

Off for a walk around Goulburn and look what we found

#4187 - 15:00; I was on my way home to Canberra from a meeting in Mittagong and decided to do a swing through Goulburn to collect a few newer caches which have been published since my last mission. This was the first for the day and despite a wrong turn initially, I was soon back on track and eventually at GZ. While the tricky hide took a bit of searching, I managed to make the find and get the log signed and cache returned before a local muggle drove into the area. TFTC Bekperry

Found this one on a quick day trip to the Southern Highlands.
Never been in this area of Goulburn before.
Quick find and sign.

It really has been forgotten. A nice spot but starting to build in rubbish. A shame.

TFTC

A hidden gem. A great hide. Tftc.

Forgotten indeed, but why? Such a great open space in a beautiful location?! I was scared to go poking at the awesome camo keeping this one from prying eyes - you had a cache guardian in the form of a snail stuck to the side! I liked a stick and oh look a hidden cavity. Signing duties complete and on to the next - enjoying my caching day in Goulburn! Oh, and don't watch Apple maps - Brewer St does not continue from Tully Park tavern (oh Tully Park...)

Found this cache at 2.50pm while in Goulburn early and picking up a few caches before the "Leap Year " event. A countrylink train went thru south, but I didn't have time to get the camera out. a nice calm quite park. Definitely forgotten
Thanks Bekperry for the hide.

A nice spot for a picnic and finding a cache. TFTC

Yes, sadly it looks very unloved. TFTC

Drove up. Stopped. GPS pointed over there. Surely it must be in the obvious thing. Nope. Walked half-way back and found it where I should have looked in the first place.

I didn't realize at the time or I'd have taken a photo but thanks to Nibletricecakes for restoring this one to working order.

With a day off to spend caching I decided Goulbun was the target for the day. I found a fun collection of caches displaying several interesting areas of Goulburn and nearby. I did struggle with a few roads that were on my map, but do not exist, but going around further I eventually solved all those problems as well.

Thanks.

Today I had to head up to Campbelltown NSW for a medical appointment so I decided to make use of the trip and include some geocaching. I decided to give the FurfacesLL ladies a call to see if one wanted to come along to get out of the house as I know she had been unwell this week and was probably itching for some outside time to get over the cabin fever. I got a nice quick response with a "Yes Ill come" so plans were put in place and we scrolled the map to find some caches. Well we noticed the Jamboree caches and decided to target those and see how we went.

After attending my appointment, we headed off to do the Jamboree caches which we had now finished, time to start making our way back towards Canberra. Decided to call into Goulburn on the way home and clean out those we had left and try our luck at a possible FTF.

This one is completely unsignable now. In need of CO attention. I have taken a photo as proof that I was there.

Thanks for the cache placement Bekperry

After seeing a number of logs reflecting on the decimated state of this cache, I took a few supplies with me so that I could offer it a little bit of love until Bekperry has the chance to check it out. I gathered as much of the old log book as I was game too and have placed it with a new log in a new plastic case. It has been hidden in the same spot as the original.

Having never been to this park before I was struck by how beautiful it is on a late summer afternoon. Was lucky enough to meet a lovely train spotting muggle who was there to check out the two trains we watched dash by. Thanks for taking me to this lovely part of town.

#1720 18 of 25 today.

Every time I head up to Sydney, I always zoom past a whole bunch of caches and towns that I don't have time to visit. A couple of weeks ago I started to repair this situation when on a day trip to Bowral. But today is was about the caches between Canberra & Goulburn.

It was warm & up to 29C as I drove about. Quite pleasant conditions generally.

This looks like a burial site for a cache; and it is decomposing nicely. Impossible to sign the cache. I took a pitcure if CO wants verification. A lovely location however.

Thanks for the cache Bekperry.

No container. Wet paper still in hiding place. Just needs a mint tin to replace.Tftc

Log and cache in disrepair. Cant sign so took pic. Def needs sum geolovin. Thanks for bringing us here tho, enjoyed the area to finish a coffee.

Found this one whilst picking blackberries with the kids Australia Day and forgot to log. Went home to make a delicious pie.
