By whitemushroom on 29-Jun-16. Waypoint GC6MKXK

Found in good condition.

Nice quick find on my drive through the area. Thanks for placing these caches in such a beautiful part of the world. TFTC

I did read a sign. We parked at it and a quick find here at the cache shortly after. Turned around, did a cache then drove back past it for the final.A trip to Oberon with sacada and family for the weekend. It has been a long time since I was in the area and a nice drive through the scenic and slightly chillier location! Enjoyable to explore the area through caching and pick up a few of the recently solved puzzles, and other caches as we passed. Thanks for your cache!

Finished another long trip around Australia. The 6th. Finished trip to Townsville to grab the Palm Island LGA. Now only 2 LGAs to complete Australia.Back around Canberra and doing some side trips.TFTC. A trip to Oberon with family and Aquilus1. Grab a few completed puzzles, a multi and a bunch of trads close to town. Found an injured cockatoo.Nice quick find.

it was a easy find. a bit dangerous when you try to get there during summer

Reperio 13:38Today I headed out towards Oberon, and with that came the chance to pick up a few caches, especially some of the TRLT series. Shot straight past GZ as the grass was concealing what I needed to see, turned around, there it was.

Quick grab as you said in description, did signing duties and replaced as found TFTC

I must admit I was a little bit more. Warey heading i to the long grass than I normally am as I quite enjoy seing snakes, and have seen a lot while geocaching. But just a km away from here coming down the road unfortunately I ran over a little brown Snake, didn't see it in time!Quickly found this one and got out of the grassThanks for maintaining the cache

A quick find after reading the hint.Thanks wm the legend lives onThanks for the cache

Visiting from NZ and enjoying a trip through the Blue Mountains. Great scenery and some quaint towns along the way.This one of a few caches we found heading towards Braidwood.TFTC

A nice quiet location for a cache. TFTC and maintenance

Maintenance done, new container and logbook. Note that the twin trees have been cut down now twin stumps!

Went out on this cold day to pick up some TRLT assorted caches and with the aim of finally finishing the Oberon Adventure Lab. These caches were great, with a nice quiet road. All found ok

Had contemplated this a couple of years back but the grass turned us off for a middle of summer find. Today was ok with a path to GZ flattened in the grass

Thought a snake may be lurking TYFTC

Good fun find. high grass

A quick find while spending a few days in Oberon,our last for the day.TFTC

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 will be visiting the Oberon & District Museum in the morning (open 10:30am to 12:30pm), then after lunch we will be travelling some of "the roads less travelled" to collect some of the TRLT cache series, and also any other caches we come across along the way. This was our 10th find of the day (day 5), and 89th find of the holiday.

Continuing along Nunans Hill Road and this is the next one we came to, near the Hazelgrove Road intersection, and it was another nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC whitemushroom.

Find #5166

We thought we would slip out and grab a nearby cache for Blue Switch Day. It sounded simple but we were not expecting some of the roads to be so bad and got bogged in Snake Valley Road. Still, we made it to this one and appreciate the opportunity to get the souvenir.

After our troubles on the wet roads we were happy to find a nice solid place to park. We managed the short trek though the long wet grass to find the cache. Thanks whitemushroom for the opportunity for another souvenir.

Rather long grass to fight with big time...glad to find cache when we did. Thanks

Out for the power trail. Beautiful area a bit windy though. TFTC TNLT

Parked nearby and made my way through the undergrowth to GZ for a quick find. TFTC wm

Quick grab

Tftc, another section of TRLT is today's caching adventure.
Quick find then went to sign and we were there. Logging now!!

TFTC Hopefully first of many today.

Found tyftc. this trip for july school holidays in and around Bathurst, following the TRLT today to Oberon and Edith. Find #2165

Day 3
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 whitemushroom 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 whitemushroom And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others

TFTC

Go Geo cache!

Covid-19!!!

Quickly found. Tftc

Today I planned my adventure tour along the TRLT Trail in Meadow Flat and head south.
On the way I search and find a lot of boxes.
Again and again I am happy about the beautiful landscape and the many animals on the pastures.

Thanks to all owners for this great tour

Found -- Thanks for bringing us to this location and Thanks for the hunt *whitemushroom*.

**Cache Condition:** Good.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
**Trackables:** None seen in this cache today.

**The Cache**
A nice quick find. Signed the log with our caching names or some scrambled form of *TOC, DJJ, LP* or even attached a cache name sticker, and then returned cache to its hide'y hole exactly as found.

**The Adventure**
A group of us wandered off into the rugged wilds from the safety of suburbia. *DustyJapserJet*, *AstheCrowFly*, *10011010*, *Bonfire7*, *Muppet95*, *Mr TOC* and *Little Panther* somewhere in the mix met up at *Mt Werong* where we camped overnight - a nice campground! We enjoyed the company of two wallabies with babies in pouch, that came extremely close to us.
Travel in was via Goulburn and then up *Jerrong Road*, a very pretty road to travel and in good condition. On the way we saw two kangaroos stuck head first in the fence - dead - poor things.
Next morning we cached into *Yerranderie*. The road was in pretty good condition a majority of the way and my 2WD faired well, although there were half a dozen rough sections. At *Yerranderie* I took time to reflect on those who have gone before and the lives that were lived here, a strange feeling difficult to explain overcame me. I love *Yerranderie*. My companions remained in the village overnight while *Mr TOC*, *DustyJapserJet* and I went back to *Mt Werong*. On the way we saw a *Cavalier King Charles Spaniel* dangling dead by one leg from a tree right near the road, recent it appears - who would/could do such a horrible thing.
Next morning we packed up and moved on, but I got side tracked by *The Road Less Travelled* series. Probably a poor choice chasing these down on dirt road - we popped a tyre. With the tyre changed I decide to high-tail it out to the main road. With 2.5km to go all was good and then !@#$%^!!!! - pop - another tyre gone, and no mobile reception. We had no choice but limp to the main road. Even then mobile reception was sketchy, but we eventually found some and contacted the NRMA for a towie. It's Sunday too! A very boring and wasted day spent in a hotel room. It was raining by lunch time. Monday arrived - tyres replaced and we're on our way - HOME!! Many caches collected and a midnight home coming straight to bed. We still had a terrific weekend considering the drama and even though it ate $300 out of our budget to go to the *St Arnauds* Mega.

Floating around while the others use their amazing skills to search for the cache - usually it's me snooping around for the find. Log signed and replaced and the scene evacuated TFTC

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. ️

O319 and I have headed off for 3 days of caching. Mainly targeting TRLT and "history of" caches.

Found with sjg66 on a three day TRLT and "History of" blitz. 220 caches over 1100kms. Lots of great scenery, but also lots of dust as it is all so dry out here at the moment. Thanks to all the CO's for hiding and maintaining these caches.

Nice easy find on a freezing windy day! TFTC

Greetings from DARKSIDEDAN.

This weekend I went on a caching trip and managed to get about 165 caches for the weekend. Your cache was one of the 165 caches that I signed CGG19 as part of our group signature for the five geocachers in our group. We saw loads of wildlife on our trip including 6 Wombats and loads of Roos. This was a fantastic series of caches. I cant wait to get back out and finish the rest of this series off. Thanks to the CO for the fun weekend.

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 got 200 plus caches in one day and I have also got 12 cache types in a day.

There is nothing that I love more than being out geocaching. I will geocache anytime, anywhere, with anyone.

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. * * * * *

Once again T H A N K S F O R T H E C A C H E. I R E A L Y E N J O Y E D F I N D I N G Y O U R C A C H E . . . ! ! !

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 MinnieK (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 5 of us climbed in, and we 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 possibly CGC19 by me, because that is what I have written in my notebook (except for the first one I signed, which I think I signed GGC19) ... so I guess our group name was Canberra Goulburn Geocachers, or Canberra Goulburn Cachers, or whatever else anyone else signed - lol)
TFTC - I didn't write draft logs for any of these, because it was too difficult to keep up with that as we went ... and with all the caches we found this weekend - in most cases I don't remember which bit of fun was which particular cache. I did write a few words in my note book for some of them, so I will include those below if I did.
(Unfortunately, if I don't just copy and paste the same log for all these, and try to go through my photos or something, or read the listing and get creative, to figure out different things to write, I will never be able to catch up with my logging, and I don't like being behind).

Thought this one might have us stumped ... But it did match the hint ... Just that I think we were all expecting ... something ... more

This was find #68 for day one of our geocaching adventure weekend. I had Darksidedan, ALL7, minniek and AyKayEm with me for the entire weekend. We had four wheel driving (some not planned) and had a pretty good time throughout. Thanks to all of the COs who initiated and maintain this track. TFTC.

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

Out caching with Cosmonaut97, 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.

Hatzofff and I are in Bathurst for a few weeks house sitting, and of course have time for lots of caching.

Today we journey around TRLT caches from Taralga south, picking up others on the way.

Nicequick find on our way to the final four the Multi.

Caching to day will take us to Oberon area.

Quick easy find.

TFTC, whitemushroom.

On my way to Bathurst with oldmorty and thought we'd grab a few more of the TRLT Series. Didn't find as many as we wanted to, but there's always another day.
Thanks whitemushroom for placing this cache here for us to find.

OCW with frazeydaze who had suggested that we grab a few more of the TRLT series on our way to visit family at Bathurst. We targeted the area between Duckmaloi and Tarana although we didn't quite reach Tarana as time ran out. All the caches found turned out to be park and grabs and were in good condition. TFTC whitemushroom and thanks for showing us some lovely countryside.

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. We were also very glad to have found this one with it being placed just a tiny bit over 1,100 meters of elevation and thus might possibly be 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

The good hint made for a quick find and we were soon on our way again. TFTC whitemushroom.

We read the sign and trembled ...

After a night in a motel in Blayney, we decided today to head home via some TRLT caches and complete the hidden creatures souvenir challenge for the month. We had a great time enjoying the quiet roads, taking in the scenery, and finding the caches. TFTC!

Nice easy find whilst on a trip out with JoeGleeson_25.
Thanks for the cache whitemushroom.

Back today to do more of this fun series. We love the rural areas so this sort of caching suits us just fine. A lot of work has gone into putting out these caches and we are grateful to the co. Thanks to whitemushroom for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Streak Day #1638 - Decided to start this power trail to go towards a milestone of 5000 for the OZ Geomuster this easter.

Day 5 of our xmas caching trip to complete the trlt series, this afternoon we are joining up with our earlier northern finds. Really appreciate the placing and maintaining of all the caches for our enjoyment. 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. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Day 2 of our trip away. Stayed in oberon last night and thought we would head out here to collect a few extra smiley faces. Thankyou for the cache .

Found with cullum68 thanks for the cache

The continuation of The Road Less Travelled called us today, so we took up the offer of some more smiley faces for our caching map. We do apologise for the generic log to each of the cache owners. All the caches were easy to locate and our name was written on each log book before it was put back into place. Then we were able to move on to the next find. Thanks to whitemushroom for being a part of TRLT series caching experience.

Quick detour for another find. TFTC

The Road Less traveled weekend two around Oberon. Day 2. After a great night at Bummeroo ford, I went on the TRLT trail for the day, ending up just past Oberon and spending the night there.

Hi there whitemushroom.

We found your cache **"TRLT - Read the Sign!"** today. (This makes our find count 17733).

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 "Pine Cone Corner" & from there we proceeded to log caches up to "Stumpy" 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 12 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

The cache was found without problem.

Woof woof

Found with xtremePanda

Quick find

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!

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. Though reported as the coldest weekend in 110 years, daylight hours were thankfully quite pleasant and made for a fun girl’s weekend. Apologies for generic logs but all were fairly easy finds with mostly good co-ords or obvious camo.

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.

its a lovely winters day out here, the sun is shining, there is no freezing cold wind and I'm even getting warm which feels a bit odd for a winter day caching round oberon but i'm not going to complain. love finding out whats up these obscure dirt back roads. all good at the cache except for losing their twin trees. there is good camo over the container so should be ok to stay where it is. tftc whitemushroom

A last minute plan saw Fitzy_1965 and I heading off to make another attack on the TRLT series and whatever other caches we could nab on the way Lots of laughs and perfect weather made for an all round enjoyable day cruising around the countryside caching with over a 100+ caches in the bag!

Apologies for the generic log-We found most of the TRLT series were good sized containers and easy finds with only a handful proving to be a bit of a challenge.

Thanks for the hide, whitemushroom

13976. Found with specimenX during another run around finding the southern half of the TRLS series plus as many others as we could squeeze in.

Another big day out with Caching Wench Number 1 starting with an early departure from Canberra, with perfect weather for our ramble along those country roads for many many finds. We found all the caches to be good sized containers and nice hides. Next find of the day. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, returned the cache, and we headed off to the next one.

Thanks to all the COs for a great series !!
