A nice quick multi. Didn’t take too long to collect the numbers before making the straightforward find at GZ. TFTC
Took me a while for maps to process the coordinates properly, but once it did was a quick and easy find
Having spent some time meanderiing some of the back roads in the mountains this morning it was time to head back to the big-smoke, but not before I grabbed a few more caches along the way.
A nice easy off-set multi

We are on a cachey 10 day holiday, starting off with 2 nights at Emu Plains to hopefully collect the new GFA puzzle caches around Luddenham and some more of the Band caches north of Penrith. Then it’s 5 nights at Oberon to collect some of the many new & old puzzle caches that we have solved around the area, and also hoping to complete the Oberon Adventure Lab. After leaving Oberon we will be visiting Jenolan Caves, for both the caves and the Jenolan EarthCache, then heading to Katoomba for 2 nights to ride the Scenic World attractions (Railway, Cableway, & Skyway) and to do a few caches of various types plus an Adventure Lab. We will end the holiday with a stop-off at Wentworth Falls for some more caches and a couple of Adventure Labs.
Today we are travelling from Emu Plains to Oberon, with stop-offs at Medlow Bath and Blackheath for some caches and Antique Shop browsing, and will be taking the Coxs River Road route from Little Hartley to collect some of the "Coxs River Roads Rambling" cache series. This was our 26th find of the day (day 3), and 58th find of the holiday.
Stopped off at the War Memorial for this MultiCache, gathering all of the required information from the memorial, then heading off to final GZ. Soon arrived at final GZ and made a nice quick find of the cache container. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Joshwa27.

Easy to solve and a pleasant walk to locate the cache, despite the men finishing a grave nearby
found with Chippyddd and geodog and georabbit. Cache and logbook are dry. No room for SWAPS or drops. SL TFTC TFTH Replaced cache as found ready for the next cacher. Nice area for reflection.
Thanks to the CO for this Multi and bringing us to this location. A well kept cemetery. The hint is, metal, not plastic.
Found alongside my Geo companion Mystic Seer. SL TFTC TFTH. Replaced as found ready for the next geo-adventurers.

Found -- 6:55 pm -- Thanks for bringing us to this location and Thanks for the hunt *Joshwa27*.
**Cache Condition:** Obliterated.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
**Trackables:** None seen in this cache today.
**The Puzzle**
Solved: Over a year ago
Could not pass up this Multi cache being close for a find, especially a *Joshwa* *History of ...* one.
**The Cache**
A nice quick find of remnants of the plastic container and a mangled log sheet. All I had onboard was a mint tin so signed the log with our caching names or some scrambled form of *TOC, DJJ, LP*and then returned cache to its hide'y hole exactly as the other was found.

Heading somewhere unknown but stopping for caches on our way. We walked around and looked around the trees hoping not to see any snakes None seen today *phew*! Thanks for the hide. ️️ OCW *Throsbyonchurch* with *Little Panther* in the mix. ️
Spent the weekend outdoors with friends. I had a very rewarding time - reaching #5000 finds, clearing more of my 50km radius and collecting a range of caches that work towards different statistics/challenges. Thanks to all Cache Owners for their contribution to the game.
I targeted statistics-related caches on the way home on Sunday. I stopped in at this Multicache on my way through. I found the cache in pieces on the ground. Unfortunately I didn't have a spare container, so I collected the larger parts and tucked them into the tree. TFTC

This is a strikingly simple war memorial. The white memorial and fence standing on the rise really attracts attention. Data collection was straightforward. Then it was off to GZ where reasonably accurate coordinates led to a quick find. Although the log was damp, it was still usable. Thanks *joshwa27* for the cache.
We always enjoy a Multi-cache and so we stopped off to undertake this one while passing by today. We soon found the numbers required at the memorial and then with our GPS updated with the corrected co-ordinates we walked on towards Ground Zero where the cache was soon located. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe
A memorable place to run across the busy road to
And once across the road,
the reading of the clues was easy.
So back across the road
And a stroll to GZ.
Where a cache was soon tracked down
Another 'classic' Joshwa27 cache [^]

Interesting spot to stop and have a read. Then a warm stroll to the final. Cheers
Spent the day geocaching with geobrother (Forereach) and Mrs Forereach. We were working on the CRRR and Jenolan Caves MPT series but took the opportunity to grab this one, and a few other miscellaneous ones, on our way past.
We spent a great day with my brother (Dogwood53) caching in the Kanimbla Valley, overcast sure, but the rain fortunately held off. Returned to finish off the rest of Pandsa’s “Coxs River Road Ramble” series and enjoy the stunning views across the valley. Had been passed this memorial many times over the years, but never bothered to stop. That is the joy of geocaching. TFTC
Streak Day #2026 - Whilst out doing the new series we stopped by to get the info and then came back to it after we had completed the series. This one was a quick find. TFTC

Tftc - Heading to Bathurst for a swim meet with geoson and decided to collect the caches along this route. Not many cars when pulled over, all nice and easy to find. Nice easy multi, geoboy liked working this one out.
Once I had the coords in hand I was soon at GZ and signing on in.
A nice quick multi that didnt hurt the brain

On a trip from Sydney to White Rock to visit family I took a detour to grab a few caches. I've driven past this war memorial several times but on this occasion I had reason to stop to do this fun little multi. TFTC
From November 5th to November 30th I studied English at ILSC in Sydney. After these month I rent a car for traveling and driving to Melbourne because my return flight is from Melbourne. The plan for the weekend was to visit the Jenolan Caves. The Lucas Cave on Saturday afternoon and the Diamont&Imperial Cave on Sunday morning. After the Diamont&Imperial Cave I was going back to Sydney. On this way I found all boxes on the Jenolan Cave Road.
I found the box quickly.
Thanks for the cache from Bonn, Germany

Off to Lithgow today for a meeting this afternoon, so left home earlier than I needed in order to tackle the cluster of caches along Jenolan Caves Rd on my way there.
And I'm so glad I did! It's such a picturesque drive that I found myself spending more time admiring the views than I did looking for the actual caches. This was an exception, not much of a view and nowhere near where my GPS said I had be so it took a bit longer to locate.
As always, though, you brought me to an interesting location so thanks Joshwa27.

Did this heading home after caching along Jenolan Caves Road. Walked across the road to the Memorial. With the multi solved and new coords in the GPS it was off to GZ for a quick find. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
Grabbed this and solved on site while finding another geocache. Got to GZ without issues and did the signings without any difficulty. Had to make our way to the caves so we definitely hurried it up. Thanks for the cache!
Found with Foreignnebula, Seanchai Dorcha, and TeamNormal, as part of a weekend romp through Jenolan and the Blue Mountains!

On a 2 day caching adventure with GeodudeAU to clear some caches over the Blue Mountains. Starting from Hartley heading south to stop by Burraga Dam overnight, then heading north to Rockley and Oberon. We had a very successful trip, notching up 115 smileys, and exploring many out of the way places. Lots of interesting scenery and wildlife along the way. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these hides. TFTC
Out with Brewmaker on a two day adventure. On this, our first day, we started at Hartley on the Jenolan Caves Mini Power Trail, and through Hampton. Then it was onto The Road Less Travelled touring trail (our third time out for this series) past Duckmaloi and Black Springs where we picked up the rest of the trail around Mount David and Burraga. We camped for the night at the Burraga Dam camping ground bside the lake - a beautiful place and one to remember.
It was perfect weather to be touring around the countryside, seeing lots of native birds and farm animals along the way. We also picked up some other associated caches along the way. Thanks to all of the cache owners for the clear directions, hints, and good easy hides. Only a couple took more than a minute to locate. TFTCs

Finally, l have fpund this cache. Again today my gps had me wandering all over the place and telling me i was close when i was actually a long way away. There were lots of locusts keeping me company, no snakes fortunately. as i walked away after signing the log this praying mantis decided to hitch a lift on my leg. I depositied him in a tree and went on my way.
A beautiful day to go caching with it being neither too hot or too cold. We had a little drizzle as can be expected in the Blue Mountains. This was one of the caches we targetted and were able to find. We loved the scenery and the variety of wildlife we saw including lots of black cockatoos and one black snake who was blissfully unaware of us as it was soaking up the sun. Thanks to Joshwa27 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
Found while out caching for the day and exploring the area. Interesting memorial and cemetery. TFTC *JOSHWA27*!
A quick and easy multi while we were in the area. A very appropriate day to visit this cache being remembrance day today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Stopped and solved this on the way back from Jenolan Caves. Interesting that some names turn up multiple times over the years. TFTC
Found this cache at 12.12pm while doing the Jenolan caves trail nice easy multi to slip in amongst the puzzles and traditionals.
Thanks joshwa27 for the hide.

Hi there Joshwa27.
We found your cache **"Lowther War Memorial"** today. (This makes our find count 17888).
Today we headed out from Oberon to complete the "Jenolan Caves MPT" - but we also had to find this one. As it's not part of the series it deserves a finely crafted log, not one of the crappy cut-n-paste ones that usually are associated with power trails.
We found 24 caches today & DNF'd 1. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
This cache was really easy, we didn't have to visit the memorial at all. After making an educated guess we strolled over to the cache from the church after finding the "Lowther Cemetery" cache.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

14223. Found during a run through the Oberon to Lithgow region this long weekend Monday.
Minniek and I decided that a day trip up to Lithgow was in order to grab the Jenolan Caves MPT and any others along the way. This was the next find for the day. Info gathered and GZ calculated. Quick find at GZ. Log signed, cache replaced, and we headed off.
Thanks to all the COs for their caches - it was a great run up through this area.

Taking advantage of the long weekend, Fitzy_1965 and I decided to head up to the Lithgow area caching along the way. Our main aim was the Jenolan Caves MPT with a few extras here and there. We appreciated the wide variety of caches found and thank the CO's for their caches.
Lovely little memorial to stop at and quickly collect information. Fitzy decided it would be best to drive to GZ and ended up denting my car whilst turning the car around lol

Visiting Jenolan Caves today as part of Samuel737's birthday celebrations, cached our way down. We love quick offset multis.... I read the description for this, and figured it could be worked out before leaving home, or could it?? We did visit the memorial, then made a quick find shortly after. TFTC Joshwa27
