Took longer than it should have Got there in the end Found with The mercs1Tftc
Spent an age looking everywhere possible but no luck. Will try again when I'm up this way again. Thx for placing this cache
TftcA really nice warm winter's day, perfect for caching.A few muggles here today, but eventually, I was able to grab this one.
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Parked the caravan at the showgrounds then headed out to tackle some caches that we thought were on dirt roads, in advance of the rain event over the weekend. TFTC Tatt2squared
Heading north in the intermittent rain we stopped off for a few caches to break up the trip.We decided the dam sounded like a good place to have a picnic lunch and grab a few caches so a pretty big deviation was taken off the Pacific.We are really glad we did as it was a lovely tranquil area that we had to ourselves except the motorbikes we could hear in the distance. Cache found and signed.Thanks Tatt2squared for the placement here, we really enjoyed the location.
Our second day staying at the Kendall showgrounds, and after the rain overnight, it is a lot cooler to go caching, no doubt the mozzies will be out for revenge after so many hot days.Nice view from here.Total Caches Found 15404TFTC Tatt2squared
Cache is happy and dry, even though I was in the rain today
Great spot, I was the only one out here !

TFTC. Nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Found with Mr 6 and Mr 6’s Grandmother. Had to take a second look. Not sure how I missed it the first time.
We feel we know the ins and outs of this area very well. Great view and spot. Tricky… TFTC
Staying around the district for a couple of days and collecting a few caches before travelling south to Victoria. Today was a lovely trip to the dam and this cache looked inviting to collect on the way out.
Thanks Tatt2squared for the beaut hide here

Muggles prevented me from getting this cache when I was last here but today, I had no such problems when I stopped by on my way back to Port Macquarie after completing the new AL at Wauchope.
Thanks for bringing me to a great picnic spot Tatt2squared.

Made it to the dam and beelined directly to GZ. Eventually got my cache radar back up and running and had the cache in hand. Decent camo!

Continuing the caching run with ilook4geo brought us to the Cowarra Dam area. This was a cache with a really good view of the dam. Thanks go to Tatt2squared for bringing us here and for placing this cache.
Enjoyed the day caching with goingplaces2 including this run towards the dam. This was an easy one to find and replace even though muggles were enjoying the picnic area. TFTC.
Found today on a cache drive with my Dad and pprass, had an amazing time doing all the caches around the Cowarra Dam Area!
After pulling up and doing some of the AL points, we realised that one point was right near this cache, we walked up and searched a bit, before finding the sneaky little hiding spot!

We'd been planning on doing the new dam trail later in the week, but with a very ordinary weather forecast, and then a call from pprass, we decided to head out this afternoon, and finished with thunder rumbling from the west and spitting rain.
While Samuel and pprass were tracking down AL info, I got down and searched for this one, good coordinates, helpful hint, and a nice new cache. Thanks....

Picked up this traditional cache after doing the nearby Adventure Labs cache. Very pretty here today with the mirror-like water reflecting the beautiful blue sky and puffy white clouds. Cache in good order. TFTC

A glorious spring day was looming so we decided to come back to Wauchope to finish off the ones we missed last time. What a beautiful spot.
What a great spot, especially on a beautiful day like today! Will definitely be returning for picnics at this spot. Thanks for placing a cache here
Fifth and final day with Marcus saw us at this dam. Simple find once there.

Headed out today to collect a couple of caches and to drop some trackables off. Had to PAF for this one even though we were in the right spot just didn’t look hard enough obviously. TFTC.
No luck for us today. But had a magic view for lunch. Thank you for unearthing gems of geocaching
Now that the restrictions have eased around the state, time to go caching again. Stay safe everyone... remember to enjoy the little things.
Disabling until socially acceptable to continue with caching. Stay home everyone, stay safe.
Last time we tried this one it turned out to be missing. We took Mr Shifter's mother for a drive this morning to the dam as she had not been there for a while and was wondering what the water level was like as they are on Level 4 water restrictions. It was good to see water being pumped into the dam.
The cache was a quick find, unfortunately the magnet has fallen off the container.
Thanks for the hide richo66 and Tatt2squared

Went to check today after a DNF... yep, gone. So it has been replaced... happy caching.
A number of years ago we found the previous cache here with the nephew's while enjoying a bobs lunch but we were unable to find the cache this time. We spent about 20 minutes looking for this one without success.
A great area to go caching in and it is so great there are caches for us to find when we visit the Port. Such a scenic area. We ventured out to find this one with Grub Fred. Thankyou Tatt2squared for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area
Find No: 6838. Visiting from Newcastle, staying at DiMorgan's for their Australia Day event, out for the day with Liz and Bruce, thanks for the cache Tatt2squared!!
I hope it's OK to log this so late.. We found this with my parents, Jip en Janneke well over a year ago. Didn't realise I'd not logged in until they were back in the area visiting again and we decided to do some more caching! Log book is marked, but if this log isn't appropriate please feel free to delete.
Thanks for the cache!

Cache was found with excellent coords and in good condition. A favorite point for the location.
You should do more caches Richard.
Thanks for placing this cache richo66.

Well we dnf'd this one many moons ago. ON this occasion Mrs oZ arrives at GZ and is signing the log all in about 10 seconds. How could we not find it before. TFTC SL TNLN
Found it while out and about with the family. Second attempt as there were too many muggles the first time i spotted it. TFTC
In the area today as part of a mission to gather some numbers. I generally try to find 1000 caches a year and I may well fall short - but at least not without a fight!
A quick find, but wow what a spot! The picnic area is tops! I can definitely see myself coming back with the rest of the family. TNLN TFTC

Had a long look amongst the rocks to no avail, checked the hint. Oh...
Had to be a bit stealthy as a small group of cyclists arrived. Thanks for the cache.

Sorry for the late log but I'm usually not the one to do them ( Mr Jacko* job) . After a long drive from Albury the day before I thought it was a great chance to grab a few caches without the other half with me ( basically to rub it in his face as he hasn't been here before ) lol . What a great little spot to visit......loved the cache. Will definitely be back to explore more of this area.
FINALLY!! This one had us so confused, but eventually, after reading through previous logs, we expanded the area, and Geoson 6 came up with the goods. Turn that frown upside down
Looked around pretty good "I think", but time constraints were against us. Will try again another day.
What a lovely area thanks for bringing me here. Took a little time to zero in on this one. TFTC.
