On our drive back from Jenolan Caves, we rembered to check for caches in the area. Wish we had done it sooner! Easily found. Swapped item for another. Found with WillsFX. TFTC

Easy find with AquaLily84 on a Beautiful Sunday drive. 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.

Heading back home after a week away camping between Capertee,Mudgee,Sofala,Burnt Yards, Bathurst then back to Capertee,I couldnt help but detour to complete this series of caches before heading back over the mountain,the drive was extremely scenic and most of the hides where all located with out to much trouble.
Thanks for the great cave series and TFTC

Heading back to QLD from Sydney via the western regions and I picked up some caches along the way and this was one of them.

This was the next in the trail and it was a quick find.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

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

Thanks

Sadly someone left this one open in the grass. We have put it back in its spot. Save and sound.

Cache wasn't in the hinted spot so it may have gone AWOL ... or I didn't look widely enough.

As Arnie once said, I'll be back!

On the way to the caves we made a brief stop to to find and log the cache. We visited the Lucas Cave, which was very nice.

Thanks for the cache.

On the way from Sydney to White Rock to stay with family I've made a detour from the GWH onto Jenolan Caves Road to grab caches 1-14 of the Jenolan Power Trail before turning off onto Mckanes Falls Road to rejoin the GWH and continue to White Rock. Most of the caches were park and grab thanks to the generous hints from the CO and some provided magnificient views. TFTC Chuze

Picking and choosing which caches to do along the trail depending on ease of parking and also on the passing trucks and cars. This was a quiet moment and a quick find. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Again, another nice park and grab as far as these little “side of the road” caches go. Got there without travel, picked it up without issue, and restored the hide without anyone (besides the people in the car) so much as noticing. Onwards we went, to find the rest.

Found with Foreignnebula, Seanchai Dorcha, and TeamNormal, as part of a weekend romp through Jenolan and the Blue Mountains!

Found with ForeignNebula, ReverseG and TeamNormal.

Heading to Jenolan caves with Indianagleeson and thought we would leave early to grab these bad boys!

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

#7837 - 12:25; Day two of the summer sojourn in the Blue Mountains with the geohoney and today a trip to Jenolan Caves was the order of business. Made our way down to the caves from Leura after breakfast in Katoomba on the way through. I was surprised at the speed limits as we made our way along the Great Western Highway, but they were certainly appropriate given the nature of the roads. Stopped off to log this cache as we passed. Collected a TB and dropped one off in exchange. I must arrange the next trip to allow time to collect the rest of this series. TFTC Chuze

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 findng the caches in this series. We saw lots of black cockatoos today and one black snake who was blissfully unaware of us as it was soaking up the sun. We are based at Lake Wallace near Lithgow for a few days and check out this area. It has been several years since we last visited. Thanks to Chuze for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Found while out caching for the day and exploring the area. We found the cache on the ground down the embankment a bit, we assume it was dislodged during the storms last night. We've put it back where we assumed it came from at GZ. TFTC Chuze!

Easy find tftc

Thought it was time to clean up the remaining caches in this series as last time some were inside a long stretch of roadworks.
All quick and easy to find but most logs were full and would benefit from a maintenance run.

A very pleasant series of caches while we were in the area today, with some interesting historical information and some great views to be had along the way. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache(s).

Thanks Chuze

Hi there Chuze.

We found your cache **"04.The Chifley Cave. (Jenolan Caves MPT)"** today. (This makes our find count 17872).

Today we headed out from Oberon to complete the "Jenolan Caves MPT" plus any others we came across on our travels. We started the day off at "James Whalan" & from there we proceeded to log caches up to "Diamond Cave" before heading back to camp. We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, but please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but it is really difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]

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.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** Most containers and log books were in good shape but some require a little "maintenance".
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

The count is now four for us today.

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.

14243. 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. 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.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Heading back out to Oberon to drop in with Mum. Living out there for ten + years and spending some time working in the mountains one got to know this road well. Enjoyed the whole series as it ment I was able to do a lot of reflection on a past life and helped to show case the great area. Well done on placing these. Hope to see it continue on one day. Giving me another excuse to come back and visit.

Another good find while going from cache to cache today.
Enjoyed the drive around the area.
Thanks for the fun.

Being part owners of the Little Hartley Holiday Farm nearby we headed out for an afternoon of caching on the way to the club in Lithgow for the raffles and dinner tonight.
Maybe we should have read the cache pages first as we would have realised we were going the wrong direction with almost all of the caches being on the wrong side of the road. Ah well.
Well our trip around the loop back to the main road was mostly uneventful. We came across an echidna, thought we have have been busted by another cacher pulling up behind us then taking off only to park at the next cache location but took off as we parked across the road. When we got to the next cache there they were again. Unsure if they were catchers or not. They were getting a drone out and started to fly around. Think I could have found somewhere better and safer then where they were to fly especially with kids so close to road. Who knows maybe they were recording there caching experience by drone. Think we also had the council worker watering roadworks as every time he came back we were only parked a few hundred metres up for the last spot.
Anyway was a good caching loop finding most but missing a few for safety being on wrong side of road with nowhere to pull over.

Another quick find on the way to TRLT - Thanks for this one.

Think cache has been muggled

back to caching after a break. traffic very busy mainly trucks think it is safe to say that this cache has gone walk about TFTC

Apologies for the missing cache fellowship of the geo, I will get to it in a week or two.

Thanks for the letting me know all that DNF'd.
To them and anyone that would like to log a found can do so, it is easy to find when it's there.

I believe a photo of the log/cache is the same as signing.

Hope the Geo Godds and Goddesses serve thee all well on your next Geo Adventure Time.

P.S. Keep your WHIPPER snappers OFF MY LAWN !

Searched for s ehile before giving up.

Looked but did not find.

A caching Weekend away with Wilbert67, so glad the weather cleared up, we had a fun trip and good company. We prepared our selves with many solved puzzled, and collected other caches along the way. love the Bathurst and the outer areas. This was a very scenic spot. TFTC

Second day of our weekend around Bathurst/Lithgow. Again lots of puzzles and lots of fun. Some tricky and a few DNF as well, but overall very happy with the results. J+J.AU as my caching friend made a big difference, thanks guys for having me along once again!
