Reperio 12:34With a mid week day off work, I decided to take a drive along the Bridle Track and tick off a few of the First Australian Parliament Geocache series. With every cache searched for found, it couldnt have been a better day for driving and geocaching.Gratias Joshwa27As a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

#14508 10:15Day three of JLW together with Everest High, Brewmaker, Martin Cousins, Team Canary, ziggiau and aubeasty. Mudgee was our home base for this weekend.The third day would take us to the Bridle Track for more Joshwa caches. It was enjoyable to do some 4WD along a beautiful part of NSW.Logs were signed with our individual geocaching names or the group name 'Mudgee Madness'.TFTC

Camped at Mudgee for the June King's Birthday Long Weekend with a group of 8 geobuddies. We signed most Logs as Mudgee Madness. TFTC Joshwa27

Found with the MudgeeMadness crew.

A quick find with the Mudgee Madness Crew. TFTC

Came before church road was busy today & watched some eagles.

Gate is locked. Getting to church requires crossing a fence. After a through search we didnt find it. Replaced it with a tube under old fence post opposite power pole. CoorsS 033 04.782' E 149 36.570'

Could not get access to church grounds as there is a double padlocked chain on the gate,

Sure is a lovely little church so it took a pic

Day 3 in Mudgee and our last. Today was for picking up the middle sectioon of the TRLT series before moving on to Bathurst. A more enjoyable day as the wind had eased and this section of the road has been graded. A long day as we had to get to Sofala as this will be the end point from Bathurst.

Had a look under a few rocks around the entrance but no dice.

Another great day on our one-year tripp around Australia. We love to travel in this country and we love to look for geocaches. This geocache has again shown us a place that we might not have visited without geocache.
Thank you for the geocache !
Greetings from Switzerland.

O319 and I have headed off for 3 days of caching. Mainly targeting TRLT and "history of" caches.

Found with sjg66 as we travelled the road less traveled series around this area. TFTC.

Mudgee trip for The Road Less Traveled series. Day 3. Sofala to Mudgee via Hill End and lots more back roads. The main focus of this trip was more of the TRLT series, so it was good to get back to work on the main goal. One of many cemeteries I had the chance to visit and explore this weekend.

Thanks.

12/12 for the day on a trip to Hill End and the fourth cemetery of the day. TFTC

Another smilie for the day, thanks Joshwa27

Absolutely gorgeous spot. TFTC

On our way home from Mudgee to Sydney with AWTYOW, Geogangstars and Brizzle11 - this is a great caching trail! TFTC

With AWTYOW, Geogangstas and Gabstar. We decided to make the trip back to Sydney more fun (and longer) by taking in another section of the road less travelled. Great fun caching through the countryside here! TFTC

We decided to cut down this road to Bathurst as we were getting a bit hungry for a big feed (and the senior geo-gangsta was dying to get to Annie's ice cream parlour if we must be honest). This gorgeous chapel was a pleasant surprise and made us glad we'd taken the turn. Junior geo-gangsta had the find. TFTC

TFTC!

On way to Hillend, stopped for a quick cache and checked out the cemetery. TFTC

Great views as I approached the river. As I approached GZ, (not thinking about the gps), a kangaroo jumped across the road in front of me. As it made its'way behind me, I watched it and saw the church. Thanx Skippy!

Lovely little church, spectacular scenery on the way here... will have to come back camping! Thank you for this cache! : )

Nice and easy this one. Been past here many times but never stopped.
Wandered about the graveyard for a bit before heading back to the trail.

Found it

Heading north today to do a some more of the TRLT series. Quick find TFTC

TFTC. About time this was found again. First time through this way to Hill End. Beautiful country. Magic surroundings.

Last night it was too late to travel the 10 plus K to come to this cache so we came this morning. Again, the description was spot on but the coordinates put us some 5 meters away. Cache and log are OK.

Found at 10.40am in 24th March 2016. TFTC.

Today was day 75 of our trip out of Sydney and we are getting very close to home now.

This was not as easy to find as we had thought it would be. The key indicator mentioned in the hint was not to be seen. We had a good look around and were about to give up when geo hubby decided to go a bit deeper. It was then he made the find. We were so happy to be able to give this cache a smiley. After the log had been signed the cache was replaced where we had found in but we put a suitable indicator on top of it as well. Thank you for bringing us to this area and thank you for placing this cache for us and others to find.

quick find after cutting caching short to get wood ! long story , cheers , sorry late log

Another crazy church and cemetery. JB made the find here too. Very peaceful spot. Thanks for bringing us here.

FTF with bikerbuddy at 4pm.

I noticed the publication of this one and the other one at Sallys Flat a few days ago when I was preparing our hit list for the weekend. As the other one at Sallys Flat had already been found by the time we got to it, we assumed this one would be as well. But it turned out that no one else had ventured this far off the TRLT route, as we found a blank logbook. A nice bonus for our weekend!

As bikerbuddy has already logged, I had a problem with my door for a few caches. Until we got it fixed a few caches on, I had a lot of trouble wriggling in and out of my seat from the passenger side. Sometimes it was just a bit too much to wriggle inelegantly across seats.

We have found a few of your church/cemetery caches now, always nice to visit another one. Thanks

Joint FTF with Toriaz at 4:00 pm

We were doing the TRLT series and had already found a new Joshwa27 cache not too far back. We detoured for this one, no longer believing in a First to Find, since the previous cache had already been found. Still, we came.

When we stopped in front of the church Toriaz was forced to remain in the car while I went out and grabbed the cache. Her door had jammed at the previous cache and she had been forced to climb across the passenger seat. I brought the cache back to the car to sign. At this time of day the whole place was deserted. The church was a modest building, painted white, unlike some other churches in this region which had been built with stone.

This was my eleventy first First to Find, as Bilbo Baggins might say if he'd ever been able to wield his ring to the purposes of geocaching. Thanks

FTF with bikerbuddy. Log to come
