I'm at 0 m but can't find anywhere. Hole is ground but I'm not putting my hand down there!
Finished another long trip around Australia. The 6th. Finished trip to Townsville to grab the Palm Island LGA. Now only 2 LGAs to complete Australia.Firstly heading back south for some Canberra time.TFTC. Today I started from Burning Mountain to get back to Canberra for an event at 5:30pm.Managed a few kms before being distracted by a virtual in Pokolbin. Next thing I am also doing the Ad Lab and a few more caches on the way. Once I got to the M1 it was just driving, managing to ignore lots of great caches just off the freeway.Arrived in Canerra at 5pm, booked in caravan, unhitched, picked up Boaham and made it to the event before 6pm. Phew.Beautiful countryside and impressive estates around this area.
I think the coordinate is a but out leading people into winery vines. Didnt sign cache as plastic and log was full of small black ants.
On our way back from a cache run in Tamworth picking up a few solved puzzles as well as some stray caches as we pass along the way.

In the area just at the right timing;) cloudy but nice colours coming through;) beautiful area of the Hunter valley TFTC
It would definitely be a nice sunset spot
Definitely need a new ziplock bag and log book. All the paper was dry but it's been wet and really hard to unfold

TFTF Great find. Beautiful view. It needs a new zip bag. Paper was wet. We used a business card as that’s all we had.
Such a lovely spot, we did indeed make this our last spot of the day and enjoyed the lovely lighting on the hills. Tftc
Not quite sunset, but still stunning views of the mountains and vineyards, thanks.
A long weekend, a short walk to this cache at the appropriate time. Life is grand.

#11416 - 2:53:00 PM; In the Hunter Valley with the geohoney to celebrate a milestone anniversary and a change of plans was in order today as the weather turned wet. Instead of our planned visit to the Hunter Valley Gardens, we decided to head into Cessnock and then do a short tour through some of the surrounding towns and villages. This presented some caching opportunities as we made our way around, including a find on this cache which was found in good order. TFTC Themovs
Enjoying a short break in the Hunter Valley to play golf. Thought we'd snag some caches while here.
Thanks for bring us to a spot with such spectacular views.

We drove up this quiet road, again having to avoid BMWs for whom there is no speed limit in the Valley. I parked close to GZ and had a look around while MrsFish used her camera. The cache was found and logged while several panaramic photos were taken. Thanks for bringing us to this place.
Camping at Broke over the weekend, we headed out for a day of caching. This was the first cache for the day, in a lovely location.
The coordinates were about 9 m off. The log was missing a plastic bag, and showed traces of water damage, so we provided it with a new plastic bag

#2173 First of three quick finds on an afternoon’s drive around Pokolbin Parish with Rieka. TFTC

We came up to Hunter Valley for a few days of food and wine. Of course a visit to the region is not complete without doing some of the caches in the area.
A quarter to six in the middle of Winter is of course too late for a super sunset, or even a normal sunset. So rather than watching far horizons, we switched on the torch on our smartphones and then quickly found the cache.
Thanks Themovs!

We're in the area sampling a few lovely goodies. A bit early for the sunset (12 noon) but a good time for lunch. TFTC
TFTC, beaut view even without the sunset, quite a few ants in the cache container.
After tasting some wine in the neighbourhood I went on a litte sunset caching tour with MrsDeRo - „little“ means this ohne cache Easy to find, thanks for hiding and maintaining. Now are are awaiting the sunset...
Staying at a nearby estate for a conference and was up early, so decided to do this cache and leave a sunrise pic. (See if you can spot the hot air balloon) What a glorious spot. Unfortunately the cache has been muggled. I found it open and empty. I added a piece of paper but it will need some tlc. TFTC in this beautiful part of NSW.
Nice easy find. log in very bad condition so put a small mark in it to log the find.
Up in the wine country for our anniversary and the wife let me get a cache or two. Bonus. Drove up to GZ and I checked the view before making the find. Log book has seen better days and will need replacing soon. SL on a blank part and replaced. TFTC.
This one rocks we thought it was missing and about to give up and had one last search and found it

Found it, I found a spot where I thought it would be hiding then my dad found it can’t give you a hint cause it to easy
Beautiful views even during the day! This cache needs a new log book. Sorry we didn’t have anything with us to replace it!
TFTC. A quick find after having lunch at Ben Ean. Just found and signed and put back and the rains cane down. Got wet.
Finishing off a lovely day of food, wine tasting and caching with my best buddy cheeky wink and angel face! TFTC and for bringing us to this great location. The log could do with some attention.
Found whilst on holiday. Don't do alot of caching these days but just had to do one in Australia. We picked this one as it was near our accomodation.
Lovely views. Thankyou.
Lovely views. Thankyou.
Found on a trip around the area to pick up CA he's for the 100 souvenir 7 to go
Decided to get away from the rain around home, so headed inland. Cacheing around Singleton today with madrabbitoh. ON outr way home, picking up some along the way. Quick find made. TFTC
On my way home i went for detour to find a couple of caches. This one was on my way to a couple of others so i stopped. I am sure the view is great at sunset as it was pretty nice during the day. I could see the mountains with a few caches on top that i am yet to find. TFTC
Just a short detour from a wine tasting day today. We are on a short holiday in the valley on a trip from the USA.
There won't be any good sunset view today; much too cloudy and rainy.
There was a very obvious hiding place near GZ, but no. Looking about, the geo-senses did tingle and yield a find, but not very near the GPS GZ. The log is nearly full, and quite moist, but does still take ink.

We have headed south a few weeks early to have a little holiday prior to attending the Oz Geomuster Mega event. After spending a few days in Sydney we headed up to the Hunter Valley wine region for a a short time but today is our last day in the area, so we made the best of it while we could
We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way.
Thank you %OwnerName for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Found a pathtag . Not exactly sure if this is the same as a trackable but I picked it up and will find out more about it.
Considering I don't live all that far away from the vineyards i really haven't been for a drive down this way for a while. All the roads have been upgraded and made and enjoyable drive and a bonus was to grab a few caches along the way. TfTc. Also picked up the pathtag that was left.
First one in Hunter Valley
