DNF to cold and didn't have my partner

Day 21 Mainland trip
Out and about caching in the area with Tassie Trekkers and we stopped to find this cache, but no luck today.

Out and about but failed to unearth this one.

Nice easy find

FFTC

Could not write on log

Me and my uncle went out one evening and searched around a bit and he pointed something out saying what is that, not that hard to find if ur in the right position

??

I have been to Portland Oregon ( home of the original cache) and now I have been to Portland NSW! TFTC

#1834 I had plans to go somewhere else this morning with the intention of knocking of a few more hide dates & hide months which I had plugged into the GPSr but then the call from alnic39 first for a puzzle to be solved then did I want to come. Always fun with adlib caching. My GPSr came preloaded with caches but they are only trads and the newest logs are from March 2017 so that is much so have to follow alnic39 only a few times did I have coords so I had to follow Al around then at the end had to get a list of the caches we ended up doing.

This was the 2nd a nice simple find, didn't find the TB in the cache

We signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache joshwa

Found 20/4/18 with katkaybray

Nice little find

We have left the Morisset Geo Muster where we spent Easter and are now travelling South in our interim caravan.
At the moment we are camped near Lithgow at a lovely free camp at Lake Wallace. Today we headed to Bathurst for the day, travelling via the backroads.

Mudgee trip for The Road Less Traveled series. Day 4. Mudgee to Canberra via Gulgong and Bathurst. No luck for me here.

Thanks.

Definitely evidence of a hide but nothing in place ...... maybe next time.

Stopped here while heading into Pipers Flat. Found the obvious hide with camo - alas no cache. Maybe next time.

Searched hard and even got out the Garmin. No luck

Found it

Another find while on a lovely drive this afternoon. Drive rubbish, yes, we were caching..... Thank you for placing! : )

Nice little park

Found as part of a weekend away with Hoojar. We headed up towards Gulgong the first night and camped near the start/ end of TRLT (@ -5 degrees ). The next day we made it through some nice historic places and great rolling countryside to finish up at Sunny Corner after a feed in Bathurst. The next day a few more finds before we headed home. Plenty of roadkill spotted, not many cars and not too much trouble at each cache. Thanks to all those cache hiders .

The opportunity finally arose that Steeba and I both had a free weekend to go caching. We quickly settled upon the northern half of The Road Less Traveled series. We drove to Gulgong via Mudgee after work on Friday, camping just before midnight at the suggested TSR nearby.

Saturday we made our way via the caching trail, and the odd additional cache, to Bathurst for dinner, then back onto the trail to Sunny Corner where we again camped for the evening.

Sunday we turned our heads for home, via a few additional cache stops in Portland and Wallerawang.

A fantastic weekend away, with excellent country to be seen and company to be had. We enjoyed the caches that we found.

Thank you to all of the cache owners, and sorry for the boiler-plate logs!

Cheers

Found with Justjessie. TFTC.

Found with O319 on our winter long weekend get away. TFTC!

Great spot! TFTC

It was very hard to find but we did it

Where is it

Came out to do some cache maintenance and clean up a few more of the local hides.
Quick and easy find.

Find 5534 logged from c:geo.

Eighth find just out of Portland. TFTC

Nice, cosy and green spot. Had a lovely picnic for lunch. Thanks

Tftc. 8th for the day.

A nice easy find on our stop for a picnic lunch. Thanks

Came out to Portland to have a look at the Bottle Kilns at the old cement works and decided to pick up a few caches on the way. TFTC.

Nice and dry

This is the second time we've seen this cache. We were walking past and thought we'd check on it. Looks good. TFTC.

a little trip around to clear an area, finding mostly micros lots of these spots could have had smalls, to large caches, but no [)]
found 16 caches and two dnf [B)] thanx for the journey

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.

Good find

TFTC easy find

Our last day in the area, out to get a few of the local caches. TFTC

#4,496

DAMn cache was next on the list, but it was raining hard by now & I didn't fancy a long walk in the dark in he rain. So we drove on to this one instead. I only ever saw a few episodes of Portlandia, but enjoyed them. I should look to see if it's currently available on iView or Stan.

This was an easy find, I retreated back to the car to sign it out of the rain. Bikerbuddy put his rain jacket on, and I got a little grumpy cause I didn't have a rain jacket. At least I thought I didn't. Turned out bikerbuddy had packed mine too. What a sweetie

Thanks

This was our second cache in Portland today. The WaywardWoman found it last month, so I walked ahead of her from the car and found the cache in the first place I looked. Nice and easy. Thanks

TFTC. Homeward bound following work inspections in the region.

#3720- I had to head out to Portland today to meet a host family and their new exchange student. After that, with NickoHeap accompanying me looking for Pokemon, we headed out for a few of the local caches. Couldn't do anything we needed to turn the engine off though- the battery had run down with him using it while the car was off. This was a nice, quick and easy one in an interesting roadside stop. Thanks

Thanks for showing us this little park and the history.

Enjoyed the view from this attractive roadside park. Quick find with KellickGuider, Apsley168 and LJC44. Added swaps and geocaching note. TFTC

Interesting little park, good to see the Lone Pine tree and also the Line of Trees. Thanks for bringing us here JOSHWA

Found it! First one now to look for more! Was fairly easy

Good find

Having s great day. Number three today!

????

A nice drive around Wallerawang and Portland as we travelled to Windeyer to see geo-grandaughter. TFTC

Easy find... TFTC... Signed log and swapped some booty...

A quick find for the first in Portland

Found it yay!

Found the cache quite quickly, but it was empty. Just the signing paper. We put some goodies in it and went on our way. TFTC.

=)

We discovered all those many a couple of days ago.

We have solved all the interesting mysteries before we started our trip to the Mid Western Region of NSW.

Day 1

We started the day in Meadow Flat, followed by Sunny Corner and Dark Corner past Palmers Oakley.
We loved the hilly nature along many peaceful Gravel roads. Many smilies were forming on our map.
We finished the day in Bathurst.

Day 2

We started all fresh again in the morning. Leaving Bathurst, we were able to get going about faster along the sealed road.
We reached Sofala at around lunch time. We couldn't believe that about 40,000 used to live here. It really seemed that the city stopped developing in around the 1850's..
We continued towards Hills End and Windeyer through dry grassy land in 47 degrees heat.
We spend such a beautiful night here in Windeyer in the caravan park. We booked one of the train accomodation where you got to stay in the train back in time. What a great experience. We really liked Windeyer as it seemed so far away from all the city rush. Te locals were very welcoming and were happy to see us in the pub next door for dinner.
What a great community living were it seems like everyone knows everyone.

Day 3

We left Windeyer after a big breakfast. We travelled along Hills End Road until we reached the turn towards another Gravel road. There wer many animals to watch and it got even hotter and hotter.
This day ended in Mudgee.

Day 4

We took a look at Mudgee city today were we searched for a couple of caches and ten continued towards Rylstone.
After we continued to the Wollemi National Park which a good friend recommended us to go. Here we climbed on the top of the mountain and simply enjoyed the stunning view and the tranquil nature.
After, we traveled towards Kandos, Capertee, Cullen Bullen, Portland and Wallerawang back home to Sydney.

We hereby would like to thank all owners for this great interesting tour. We got to see many historical places and sometimes felt like as if we were living back in the the 1850's, which is a good thing.

Thanks
Team sissifalke

Travelled here via Back Cullen cemetery - well worth a visit. Easy find on a warming day. Off to Portland cemetery now. Thanks.

We were heading to Portland today for one of our semi-regular visits to my aunt who moved back there to what is her hometown years ago when she retired. Actually, she's living in the house her parents (and my grandparents) built in Portland when they got married nearly 90 years ago.

I was delighted to see that 3 new caches had been placed in town since our last visit, and even happier when the geo-widow gave me permission to make the finds before we headed to my aunt's house. My GPSr had me walking in circles here for a few minutes until it settled but when it did settle, it took me straight to the hide. Thanks for placing a cache here at the gateway to Portland Joshwa and for the smiley too.

Ftw with the amazing zoe carberry

Kamfindit and i really enjoy trip around to bathurst, Mudgee and gulong.... Last day today we go back home... we are wonderful time and beautiful weather... Thank

Accomplained ALL7, leave Mudgee on the way to sweet home..
Enjoyed drive on road to some caches way..
Easy to find, sign the log no trouble..
Thank you having us here so great time caches..

Down the road a few day's prior but had decided not to continue on to Portland, so it was a surprise how quickly this drive-by came up on the Navman (had I but known). A short seek, there are plenty of hidey holes, but the task was simple enough. There was a nice scent to the Lone Pine on the day. Thanks for the cache *JOSHWA27*

Nice area

Easy to find!

TFTC good hide

A quick park and grab in a road I used to live at the other end of.

TFTC.
