TRLT - A Little Green Creek Gurnang, New South Wales, Australia
By Team Webguy on 26-Jun-16. Waypoint GC6MEZ4

Townsville to grab the Palm Island LGA. Now only 2 LGAs to complete Australia.Back around Canberra and doing some side trips.TFTC. A return trip from Oberon to Goulburn with 60 caches including a CITO, 2 ECs, a multi and many interesting trads. Firstly along the highway and then through the pine forest plantation tracks. Amazing scenery with lots of deer, emus, roos and rabbits.Nice quick find

Reperio 13:57Today I had the day off, so decided to spend it along the TRLT series from Hazelgrove through Edith and Gingkin to Mount David. High winds throughout the day made things a bit tricky with signing logs and keeping zip lock bags from flying away, but almost all caches were found in good health, with only a few DNFs, and a few that need maintenance. As I was working from an offline list, I ended up revisiting a few caches I had previously logged due to the list not being updated. All in all it was a great day out.Gratias Team WebguyAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

I found also some caches on the road and saw many dead cangaroos there. In the late afternoon I arrived to the challenge serie near Goulburn. I didnt finish it due a great storm with heavy rain and ice balls. So I go back to Goulburn and have another surprices at night in the hotel. There was two times a fire alarm and all guests need to go out to the carpark. Thanks for all caches I found today and greetings from Czech republic.

Returning home after camping, soon found. TYFTC

A quick park and grab during my road trip back to Sydney TFTC

Logbook replaced, wet crap removed.

Quick park and grab. Log soaked. TFTC

P & G. Log still wet.

Tftc

TFTC again the rain has destroyed the book

TFTC - didn’t log on paper as a little wet… enjoyed the sounds of the birds! Nice location.

Found out in the open. Bloody muggle Animals. TFTC

Good spot to pull over and stretch the legs. Nice quick easy find TFTC

Quick find lucky we just got phone reception back. Tftc

This one was sodden. If you hit the rubbish you’re basically on the wrong side of the tree, but it’s sad to see so much stuff dumped. Future CITO? TNLN TFTC

Logg full of water could not sign

On our way north we stopped here and found a dumping place.
We couldn't find a cache between this rubbish.

So much rubbish here for somewhere so out of the way. Shame. Cache was wide open and the log is drenched because it has been left open. TFTC

Tftc

Quick park and grab. Inconsiderate people dumping rubbish of all places. I had noticed that at the start of covid when everyone wasnt going anywhere that the place started to clear up of rubbish, just the occasional glove or face mask but now all the take away food stuffs and coffee cups everywhere. Tftc

Final day and time to head home.
With the COVID19 restrictions lifting, we decided to head to the Bathurst area this long weekend on a Geomission with Rapidlywild. Our intention was to attack the TRLT trail and others around the area.
We had a great four days, only a few DNF’s but mostly smiley's, and have left plenty for another adventure. Lovely area to cache in and we look forward to coming back for some more fun and laughs.

Thanks for the hide Team Webguy and thanks Rapidlywild for another great weekend away.

Apologies for the generic log, thank you to all the cache owners for their efforts.

With COVID19 locking everyone down for so long, a MUCH overdue geocaching mission was welcomed. FurfacesLL #1 and myself decided to head towards Bathurst and attack some of the TRLT caches and see how far we can go. Spoke to a few of the CO's prior to heading up to see if we could assist with any maintenance that was required, so we went prepared with some camo containers and some fresh log books. We had a wonderful weekend stretching the legs and enjoying the country side.

Thanks for the hide Team Webguy And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others

From June 1, travel restrictions are being eased in NSW. Cache on!

Cache was replaced some time ago. If it gets damaged again, may have to move it.

In light of the current travel restrictions and the requests by regional councils to stay away, I am disabling all my caches until the COVID-19 situation has passed and things return back to normal. Please respect this and do not go looking for these caches.

Day 4 of KmanNZ's VIC,NSW,ACT roadtrip of 2019.

Today had me on the old tourist road between Bathurst and Cooma.
A lot of smoke in the air from the fires over the hills. Met a caching couple in Taralga and found 41 caches.

Find #12

A quick find here, spotted the hiding place on approach.
Signed and replaced.

Thanks

I just love road trips and this one was no exception.
Thanks to all the COs for amazing caches we found and apologies for mostly generic logs.

Dropped TB

NOTE:
Cache container was strewn all over the place, dry water damage, fixed it the best we could, and replaced it in the most obvious spot.

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.

This cache marked the turnoff for Mt Werong and Yerranderie. I made a quick park and grab here. Thanks For The Cache, Team Webguy.

A short break and a quick find on the way from Narooma to the Jenolan Caves. TFTC!

Nice easy find. Beautiful area TFTC

A plan was hatched, for a group of Canberra (and one Goulburn) Geocachers to stay overnight in Bathurst on a Saturday night and cache our way there and back - mainly doing some of The Road Less Travelled series, and anything else interesting that we were near. So, on Friday afternoon All7 and I met up with Cosmonaut97, who drove us out to Goulburn where we stayed the night with MinniK (thanks for the hospitality), and then DarkSideDan arrived in the morning and we crammed all our gear into the back of the Cosmonaut Geomobile, all climbed in, and embarked upon our adventure - and what a fun weekend we had! Lots of laughs, some interesting terrain to drive through, and a whole lot of cache finds - so, sorry - most of these logs will be rather generic ... (and also rather late, because I am only just catching up with all the logging now - oops)
Logs were signed as CGG19 by at least a couple of people, or CGC19 by me (except for the first one I signed, which I think I signed GGC19, then I asked if it was CGC19 and got told yes) ... so I guess our group name was Canberra Goulburn Geocachers, or Canberra Goulburn Cachers, or whatever else anyone else signed - lol)
TFTC - second find for the adventure, first TRLT cache - and what a nice, fun, interesting, tour it turned out to be

This was find #2 of our geocaching weekend. I had the pleasure of completing this adventure with ALL7, minniek, Darksidedan and AyKayEm. Thank you to all of the COs who initiated this track and those who maintain it. TFTC.

Signed CGG19 with Group.. We enjoy drive everywhere and good Laugh... She is very good drive with 4WD.... thanks

Out caching with Cosmanaut97, ALL7, DARKSIDEDAN & Aykayem with an aim to do as many as we could on TRLT series. Signed logs as CGG19 to save space (Canberra Goulburn Group 2019).

Had a long and tiring day finding everything on our list for the day. Thank you to all CO's for their efforts in placing and maintaining the caches for others to find.

Look forward to continuing the trail when I can.

Greetings from DARKSIDEDAN.

Today I went on a caching trip and managed to get 113 caches in a day. Your cache was one of the 113 caches that I signed CGG19 as part of our group signature for the four geocchers in our group. We saw loads of wildlife on our trip including 6 Wombats and loads of Roos.

Here is a little about me. At the time of this “Found It” log I have over 6750 finds and 350 Hides. I was the creator of the “Ducky Dip” Lab Cache that won 2nd Prize in the State Vs State Battle of the Labs during the OzGeoMuster – The Gong 2019. I am the owner of the largest GeoArt Series in the ACT and winner of countless Geocaching Prizes.

I have included one of the Geocaching poems that I have written. I hope that anyone reading it likes it

Geocache Poem
By DARKSIDEDAN

My endless search goes on and on
Looking for treasures of every kind
Always chasing just one more find
Putting past DNF’s out of my mind
I step out into the world outside,
Seeking what is hidden from me
What size, shape or form will it be?
Only time will tell, I can’t wait to see
Will I find my prize at the end?
I will search in the failing light and cold
Filling with despair having looked everywhere
Where is this thing that gives my life pleasure?
Looking all around from every angle
I read the logs and check the hint
I curse out loud as I walk in circles
Screaming the bloody thing it not there
As time flies by and I fail to see,
Never once stopping to realize
It always been there before my eyes
No need for sorrow, there’s the Geocache.

* * * * * I am currently writing very detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC called "The Author". This Badge challenges geocachers to write logs with an average one hundred words or more in each log. As of the 20th of April 2019 my average is 110 words per log, which seems close to the 200 words per log target. However given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 200 words for a long period of time to get my average up. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After more than 5500 aches (which includes all cache finds up and including today I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task very soon. Progress has been better than anticipated. * * * * *

This was our fourth day on this super long geocaching trail, and so first thing this morning we set off to where we had pulled out of the trail yesterday evening. The weather was perfect and once again we found ourselves travelling through some truly beautiful scenic countryside on interesting roads. This one was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero as it was starting to get dark. We were also glad to have found this one with it being placed over 1,100 meters of elevation and thus a qualifier for the NSW Altitude Sickness Challenge cache. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

When I logged the logbook was quite damp. The container doesn’t seem to be very watertight anymore

Love this area. Found on camping trip to Mt Werong

I didn't really notice the creek today [:o]
I did notice the cache, Hooray !! [:d]

Now to leave the busy bitumen and head into the forests for a bit of peace and quiet while caching [:p]

On a 3 day drive to the Sunshine Coast from Canberra. The first goal of the day was to find 50+ caches, each at least 1km apart for a NZ challenge cache. This was cache 49. Cache easily found. TFTC.

One of over 200 caches found this long weekend whilst enjoying a fantastic few days away camping and caching with friends. Big thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches and adding to our enjoyment of what turned out to be an awesome weekend! TFTC!

Found Monday morning on route to s ghost town .
Nice find in the snow .
Many thanks to Team Webguy.

Well that's one puzzle solved. I had wondered why someone who bothered to muggle a cache would then put it back in a relevant place. I put a new log book in ziplock plus pencil back into the container and replaced. picked up the VB tins that perhaps the muggle had left and was on my way admiring the sunset as I took off. no water spotted in the creek today. tftc

Muggled. record book missing but container was put back in at the base of a tree at gz. I feel bad for not having a replacement record book and I hope the next traveller will. For that reason I'm not putting a needs maintenance on it because its a long way to travel just to put some paper in a cache, when the rest is fine.

Continuing on to this 1, another nice cache completed on a long day of caching in the area – a BIG thanks for the drive today – enjoyed it very much - TFTC / TFTH / SL – this cache was the last 1 completed today in this series – from here went down to Mt Werong

Quick and easy park and grab!
Thanks for the cache!

nice spot

nice spot

Not heading that way so a quick stop then to Shooters Creek. Thanks.

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 Team Webguy for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

The second park and grab on my way to Oberon. TFTC

A quick and easy drive by while we were in the area. See GC6MKZQ TRLT - No Ducks Here for our master log for this series. Bugger, it looks like we might be back on the bitumen again. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Nice spot to stop and stretch the legs. This is a wonderful road, a great place to cache.

Today I’m driving from Goulburn to Sydney via Bathurst, and my plan was to see a bit of countryside and the local wildlife. It certainly is raining cats and dogs, so I’m covered there. I was hoping I wouldn’t be tracking so much countryside back into the car after each find!

Found with nissan 65 on a wet day caching . Up from south coast heading to Oberon. Thanks for the cache

Another section of The Road Less Travelled was on the program today. While on route we have seen pine forests in various stages, from young pines through to mature trees and some harvested areas. There have also been sheep grazing and cattle grazing areas as well as eucalypt covered areas. We had a good run with the cache finding and the biggest problem was those caches where blackberries were rampant. We also managed to find some tracks that may not have been on the route taken by the CO when setting some caches. Thank you to Team Webguy for contributing to this TRLT series by placing this cache. Our apologies for the generic log.

Spotted it before I got out of the car.
I recall Jabs having one in this patch of scrub many years ago.
Now onto the busy roads.

Hi there Team Webguy.

We found your cache **"TRLT - A Little Green Creek"** today. (This makes our find count 17792).

Today we headed out from Oberon so we could attempt some more of the "TRLT" series, plus any others we came across on our travels. We started at "Tatiana's Crown" & from there we proceeded to log caches up to "Back on the Bitumen" 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 15 caches today & DNF'd 0. 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

Abercrombie River area weekend. Day 2. Today was all about the Road Less Traveled series South of Abercrombie River Road. The day went fantastically, I made it through all of the planned caches just before it started raining very heavily. I look forward to more of the series.

Yay, back to smileys.

With a rare weekend and sunday off (shift worker) and the geofamily not keen on caching in the cold weather i used the opportunity to head north of taralga to finally start tackling the road less travelled series.

With the temperature in the single digits most of the day i managed a heap of finds which were mostly accurate coordinates and enjoyed many photo opportunities along the way. Fantastic winters day well spend. Cant wait to return and chip away at the series more.

Three geocachers (mizmaz, envirogirl86, and myself) embarked on a monumental long weekend to complete as much of TRLT series as we could. (Apologies for the generic log). Awesome series!! TFTC!

3 girls (Mizmaz, StumbleTrip and myself), a car, a gps and a sense of adventure resulted in 198 caches over 3 days. And, of course, we decided to go on our adventure on the coldest weekend in 110 years.
Sorry for the generic log, however most of the caches we found (162/165 in total) were in good condition and were quick, easy finds. Thank you for placing these caches in such a beautiful and interesting area. I hope to get back to finish the northern end (a little more casually) sometime early next year.

Having completed the northern end of TRLT nearly two years ago with the Rats, was now time to tackle the southern end during a three day roadtrip with StumbleTrip and Envirogirl86. Smilies gained on 162/165 (with the other 3 either disabled or several dnf logs before us) plus a number of bonus trads/puzzle finds along the way. Reported as the coldest weekend in 110 years, daylight hours were thankfully quite pleasant the first two days of the trip but today we felt the bitter cold and often experienced drizzle and fog however still managed our best daily tally to complete our agenda. Apologies for generic logs but all were fairly easy finds with mostly good co-ords or obvious camo.

Wending our way towards home.
This one was exactly where we thought it should be.
Thanks, Team Webguy!

Out for a run in the car with Just a cacher.
Thanks for the cache, Team Webguy!

Found with Justjessie as we enjoyed the road less travelled. TFTC.

Easy find 'cause it was out in the open. Signed log, replaced where I think it should have been, & concealed. Cache in good nick.
No creek today - need rain.
TFTC Team Webguy

Fitzy_1965 and I headed off to target the TRLT series and whatever randoms we could nab on the way An early start and perfect caching weather for our tour lead to a top day's caching with 120+ finds...YEAH!

Apologies for the generic log-We found most of the TRLT series were good sized containers and easy finds within seconds - only a few took a few minutes of searching!

Thanks for the hide, Team Webguy

13835. Found during a caching run with Caching Wench #1 along the TRLT series. Awesome day with 118 finds for me...

SpecimenX and I had an early start out from Canberra and arrived at this cache at about 0930 to start the day off. As with nearly all of the caches it was a quick find on the nice container because of the good coords and nicely hidden from muggles. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and we moved off to the next one.

Our thanks to all the COs of this wonderful series - we will be back to hit another section soon !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Another good find while going from cache to cache today.
*Enjoyed the drive around the TRLT series.*
Thanks Team Webguy

This was quicker and closer to the road than I expected.

The WEEO and I had a great time caching all day and yacking as we went along and loved the countryside as we went. Thanks for the work to help make our 3 day caching spree a great time. TFTC

Thanks very much for all your efforts in putting this part of the trail together Team Webguy. I am so please to get away with 3-Kings and discovering this great TRLT trail. We went North yesterday and have great expectations for today. Please excuse the serial logs.

Day 2 of my adventure with Mikev1 to tackle part of TRLT series starting from near Meadow Flat and heading south. All up we found 110 and had 2 DNF. Found the creek and cache.

Apologies for the generic log, but thanks to all the COs for putting this series together. We enjoyed taking these lesser known roads to places I would never pass through normally. There was a wide variety of scenery, vegetation and wild life throughout the journey. All the hints and coords were pretty much spot on. Great effort!

TFTC

After a very quick decision I headed off with Brewmaker on the start of a 2 day adventure seeking out The Road Less Travelled series (TRLT) an a few other caches along the drive.
We started half way through the second series and continued on from Meadow Flat then to Tarana, Duckmaloi, Edith, Gingkin, Shooters Hill, Jaunter, Porters Retreat, Black Springs, and Oberon. The roads ranged from tarred to dirt and included part of the historic Cox's Road dating from 1815.
We saw lots of interesting wildlife, farmlands, creatures of various shapes and sizes, and historic items along this tourist trail. Nearly all of the caches were a good size very easy to find - some could be seen before I even got out of the car! A few required a more detailed search but nothing too difficult or strenuous. After a while we could almost guess what the hint was going to be. I still can't get used to the new year - a few of the logs I dated as 2016 - doh.

This was part of Day 2 caching in what would become my largest single day cache haul to date.

**Wanting to get a heap of TRLT series complete, I had packed my camp gear and was ready for an adventure. Thanks to all the CO's who put in the time and effort for the series. Be careful going for these as I started to see some Tiger Snakes out baking on the roadway.**

After much deliberation and comparing of diaries, The Rats, Steeba and I eventually found a weekend that we could all commit to completing the lower (Southern) half of 'The Road Less Traveled' Series, along with some caching in Bathurst (which was actually the scene of our first combined geocaching trip nine years ago!). A last minute trip overseas for me cropped up; but I arranged it so that I could fly home just in time to not miss out on this caching extravaganza.

Friday night we headed to Abercrombie River via Goulburn (from Wollongong), and camped at the campsite there. Saturday saw us drive the lower (Southern) half of 'The Road Less Traveled' Series, ending up in Bathurst right on dinner time. We then found some local caches before staying at a friend's house for the night. On Sunday we headed back out to Oberon for some more caches and then did a couple of loops around Bathurst. We had originally planned to stay Sunday night, but once we clicked over 300 finds for the weekend the inspiration started to wane, and we all agreed to turn our heads for home.

Cheers

Nothing beats a "road trip". My find count had been suffering from the "rest of life" getting in the way of caching so along with Steeba and Hoojar a plan was hatched to go "beyond the Great Divide". The 2nd half of the TRLT looked to be the obvious solution. Under perfect skies and with gps loaded we hit the dirt roads.

Our first full day of caching had us weaving our way along the TRLT to a point where we completed the lower section of the series in one day. This half is contrastingly different to the other, but still very spectacular. Thanks to all the CO’s of the caches we found along the way. Apologises for the template style log but with 300 finds for the weekend each container begins to look the same.

TFTC

The Rats, Hoojar and myself made for the wider Bathurst area for a weekend finding some of TRLT series of caches.

The whole area was quite green and recent rains had meant the grass had exploded everywhere and was 3 or 4 foot high around many of the caches.

Not only did we find plenty of TRLT, there were many 'History of' caches found amongst others. Thanks to all the hiders. TFTC!
