Left Yass early for a mini road trip to Cowra so allrounder could do Parkrun. We decided to spend a few hours picking up some caches after she finished. Plenty of caches in the area so we will have to return to get some more.

3rd find of the day. Great art work. Thank you for bringing us here. Cool camo.

On a cold day at Easter, was nice to walk around the POW camp. It had been very hot on previous Easter visits to walk all around. Headed here on the way back to town as had a DNF last time I was here. Today found in the open, and put back nearby out of sight from cars parking.

Together with my son, I am on a camping trip from Sydney to Broken Hill and back. On our 3000 km journey over 11 days we have seen some wonderful little towns, beautiful landscapes and many interesting geocaches.

Driving through the Peace precinct we picked up some new caches that have been put out since we were here the last time around.

TFTC.

On a beautiful day to be out and about, the family and I headed to Cowra today for a spot of caching and exploring. After visiting the prison camp, we headed back out and stopped by this one. Quickly found the slightly unorthodox style cache!

Gratias Joshwa27

After weeks of puzzling finally in the area to collect on my work. Start at Cowra with a Parkrun at 8 and then work my way to Bathurst. Also picking up the traditionals of course. Day started wet, but that doesn't stop me.

Sydney to Adelaide Roadtrip
Day Three : Cowra to Balranad.

An interesting day weather wise, with rain in Cowra, and very heavy rain around West Wyalong to the point I was worried that the highway may close. Balranald didn’t get any rain at all.

I hadn’t been to this part of Cowra before, interesting to to see this historical area. Cache contents only slightly damp.

Thanks Joshwa27.

This one had not downloaded to the GPSr for some reason so we were on the phone. The compass kept wavering and had us looking in a number of places before we resorted to looking at logs. This gave us an idea of what we were looking for. We quickly found it at the base of the wall in the open. Signed the log and put it back very close to where we found it but with a bit more cover.

Today we left Grenfell on a very cold and windy day and moved to Cowra. We managed one cache on the way and then set up for a couple of days. After thawing out a bit we headed out to look around, our first stop being the Visitors Centre. We really enjoyed the hologram and displays on Cowra. We had both heard of the outbreak before and seen the tv show. The staff there were fabulous and quite interested to hear about a geocaching multi that took you to a number of the sites. We worked on that multi and found a couple of traditionals but in the end the cold beat us. We’ll try again tomorrow and hope it’s a bit warmer.

First of the day today as we explore around Cowra. I spotted this one’s likely hiding spot on approach - and I was right!
 
28-Mar-21
Day 3 of our trip to the Dayboro mega, after spending last night at Cowra. A quick find after completing the fabulous breakout multi. The cache was found relatively quickly. The logsheet was slightly damp (the container may be getting a little fragile), but the waterproof paper meant it was still easy to sign. TFTC Joshwa27.
 
08-Mar-21
Third find for today on a day trip to Cowra and back.
Spotted the likely hide on approach and was soon awarded with the find.
Logged and replaced as found.
Glad that the two cars parked nearby were free of occupants allowing me the area to myself.

Finley to Cowra
A Day on the road , high temperatures & wind that was ferocious. We stopped where suitable with the caravan on.
At Cowra we camped at the showgrounds to find some of the very interesting caches in the area.
This took us ages to find & just as we were about to call a DNF we found it in the most easiest location.
Thankyou for placing this cache Joshwa27

Big Grin 12 Nov 2019 & 14 Nov 2019 Caching Trips Big Grin
With these two days free, I decided on getting back into caching after a recent dry spell (apart from the event I attended on the 9 Nov). On the 12th, I headed for Cowra to start the caches out that way. I visited many monuments which some included: the World Peace Bell, Koorawatha Falls, Wynnefield Memorial and the one of the old Railway Bridges. Most caches were quick finds but a couple ended up with DNF’s or NA’s which was upsetting but hay… you can’t find all caches because you need things to do next time you’re in the area. Wink There were many different types of hides and locations which made it a very enjoyable day out. On the 14th I headed down over the border into Victoria to hit the ‘S’ series trail which has been on the to-find-list for who knows how long now. Razz I headed straight for the far end of the trail to start so I would finish at the closer side to the other caches on the list to find. This ended up being a solved Mystery cache finding day with a couple of Trads along the way. Also while I was in the area I couldn’t say no to visiting, the ‘Ettamogah Pub’ and ‘The Henty Man’. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring enjoyment to me and the rest of the caching community. Smile TFTC’s Smile

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 !
