Reperio 10:21Today 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 alnic39As a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV
Last time we were along here the road was covered in snow and no one had driven along it. We retreated, not wanted to get our low ground clearance car stuck. No problems in this weather. TFTC
Ah. Memories of snow and a road we were not willing to take. We could use a bit of snow today. TFTC
Found with rogerw3 while caching in the area. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
Our inspecting landslide damage on 2 mile. I have a hole in my yearly grid that needed filling so stopped here on way out. Some heavy frost on ground, or is it remnants of snow. Either way nice and cold. second tree? Thanks for placing
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 continuing our travels on some more of "the roads less travelled" to collect some more of the TRLT cache series, and also any other caches we come across along the way. Yesterday we travelled roads to the East & North of Oberon, and today we will be travelling South towards Gingkin. This was our 17th find of the day (day 6), and 118th find of the holiday.
Headed off the tar and onto the dirt, and this was the next one we came to, and it was a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. Stamped the logbook, swapped a trinket, then replaced as found. TFTC alnic39.

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 alnic39 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 alnic39

And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others Today I have planned my adventure tour along the TRLT trail from Oberon and am heading 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.

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).
Some momentary confusion, until we looked on the correct side of the fence - lol

This was find #39 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. * * * * *

OCW frazeydaze. Today was all about the numbers. Having found the gems that were stolen from the Museum we now had to return the gems to the Museum by finding 35 caches to access the lock to the vault. Being at Blackheath for the weekend we thought that the easiest way to do that was to tackle a section of TRLT.
Starting at Duckmaloi at 10 and finishing at Jaunter at 5, with a slight detour to the Jenolan Caves to grab some lunch, we travelled many back roads through forests of pine and gum trees, saw spectacular sceenery and generally had a fun day.
Frazeydaze even saw a few wombats in the wild for the first time.
All caches were in good condition and a big thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches.

Out caching with oldmorty finding more of TRLT. Found another 52 today. Thanks alnic39 for placing this cache here for us to find.
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 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 (which emitted a lovely smell of roses !) and for the interesting information on the cache page. Greetings from Zimbabwe

In the fog I was also impressed that I found the cache

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 Lucas Tour I had some time before dinner so that I went around for caching.
I found the box quickly.
Thanks for the cache from Bonn, Germany

A guardian here, who scared us off for a while as he wasn't going to budge. But we outlasted him, and made the grab.

This was the 1st cache completed of a long day of caching in the area – a BIG thanks for the drive today – enjoyed it very much - TFTC / TFTH / SL
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 alnic39 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.
All were quick finds for the day with dave8153. 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. As an added bonus I now know what nullious filous means. You learn something new every day. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Day 3 of our trip away. Stayed in oberon last night and thought we would head back to Goulburn to collect a few more smiley faces. Thankyou 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 alnic39 for being a part of TRLT series caching experience.
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.
Thanks.

Hi there alnic39.
We found your cache **"TRLT - Nullius Filius"** today. (This makes our find count 17760).
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 47 caches today & DNF'd 2. 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

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.
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, alnic39

13940. 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 the first cache of the series at about 0930 to start the day off. As with nearly all of the caches this one 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 headed off to the next one.
Our thanks to all the COs of this wonderful series - we will be back to hit another section soon !

Road trip North to tackle The Road Less Travelled Series with JordsAU! I’ve wanted to try this trail for a while but hadn’t found anyone to try it with. I ran it by Jords a few weeks back & after checking the roster for the week, the stars aligned and we started organising it. He was aiming for “200 caches in a day”, so we planned the trail as best we could!
Monday – we drove up to Gulgong to start the trail. We worked our way down to Mudgee (~30 caches) before setting up camp for the night. We had an early night so we could smash out a big day.
Tuesday – packing up at sunrise and setting out, the big day begun! We reached the first 100 by 2:00pm (7 hours elapsed). We were worried that we weren’t going to reach the 200 milestone considered how far we had to go and how long we had been tracking! The stretch from the Great Western Highway to Oberon made great time and we were on 150 caches. Instead of heading into Oberon to set up camp in daylight, we decided the best use of the remaining daylight would be to push through into the night for the last 50. Eventually we were down to the last handful, when we hit an area of the forest that had been logged. To make up the last few, we assumed there would be caches in Oberon, so we drove 50km back to town. We made the 200 at the Oberon Memorial Site and called it a (long) day.
Wednesday – I was all ran down from the big day, so we made our way back home! I found a few in Sydney, and made the drive back down home. It was a good to unpack and have a nice hot shower. Now for the long laborious task of entering these logs!
Thank you to all the Cache Owners along this trail. It was a real joy to visit another part of this great country we call home. It’ll be easier for me to return to the trail via Goulburn/Crookwell to finish off the series (and hopefully visit any further extensions). TFTC’s!

The stretch from the Great Western Highway to Oberon made great time and we were on 150 caches. Instead of heading into Oberon to set up camp in daylight, we decided the best use of the remaining daylight would be to push through into the night for the last 50. Eventually we were down to the last handful, when we hit an area of the forest that had been logged. To make up the last few, we assumed there would be caches in Oberon, so we drove 50km back to town. We made the 200 at the Oberon Memorial Site and called it a (long) day.
Wednesday – I was all ran down from the big day, so we made our way back home! I found a few in Sydney, and made the drive back down home. It was a good to unpack and have a nice hot shower. Now for the long laborious task of entering these logs!
Thank you to all the Cache Owners along this trail. It was a real joy to visit another part of this great country we call home. It’ll be easier for me to return to the trail via Goulburn/Crookwell to finish off the series (and hopefully visit any further extensions). TFTC’s!
2/5/17 Found with muppet95. Muppet95 mentioned to me that he was keen to hit up The Road Less Travelled series and we decided to take a few days off to go on a bit of a road trip. I wanted to shoot for a goal of finding at least 200 caches in a 24 hours period and we made plans accordingly. We drove up to Gulgong on the first day and arrived in the early afternoon. We started The Road Less Travelled series there and headed south towards Mudgee, picking up approximately 30 geocaches on the way. We spent the night camping on the outskirts of Mudgee and had an early night, with the expectation of an early start to have the best chance of reaching our goal of 200 caches the next day. At the crack of dawn on day 2, we packed up camp and set out on the trail, finding our first for the day at 7 AM. We then spent the next 14 hours travelling The Road Less Travelled, caching the series and picking up some additional caches along the way. We powered on well after the light of day had disappeared, because we were on a mission and were resolute in our efforts to achieve our goal for the day. We reached a point, down near Gurnang in the pine forest, where the area a cache in the series was supposed to be had been logged and we could not continue, without backtracking and going the long way around. We made the decision to turn around and head back to Oberon, where we would pick up the last remaining few to reach our target number. I am very sad to say that on the way out of the pine forest, a wombat ran out as we were driving past and was struck by the underside of the car. We stopped immediately and I rushed over to its aid. The poor thing was in not in a good way and I did what I could to provide some comfort but it faded away within a matter of minutes. The accident is very distressing and upsetting, and it put a real dampener on a long and tiring day. There was nothing we could do at that point, so we continued on our way back to Oberon, picking up some more caches in town. We reached our campsite and setup, keen to rest up and have a deserved sleep in. It was another cold night, definitely dropping below zero degrees. We woke in the morning and, after packing up, we made our way back to the big smoke. Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners, and for putting this series together, which takes us on a different route along the Road Less Travelled. We will have to come back at another point in the future to try and finish off the series, and hope that one day the series may be extended further for everyone’s enjoyment.
Found after working in the area and under an increasingly stormy afternoon sky. Plenty of private forests around here which made me wonder what any passing muggles might make of me at GZ but fortunately there were none. Inside of cache slightly damp but log book dry and in good nick. Many thanks alnic39
After a cleaning up morning and a job in Lithgow, I had time for a drive and a few more caches.
This was the first of the afternoon and was an easy one after turned done the road that makes you wonder how it got its name!?!
TFTC.

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 
Oh the pines. Thanks very much alnic39 for your efforts in placing caches along The Road Less Travelled trail. 3-Kings and I are following TRLT trail South and we do appreciate the efforts you have contributed to our enjoyment. We did TRLT North yesterday and now have a challenge! Thanks for the cache.
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. We read the hint but still took the wrong option at first!
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!

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.

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.

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!

An easy find. Almost done for the day & the storm is about to hit. TFTC

Our last one for this trip, we have been lucky, the storm held off, which is more than I can say for what awaited us in 20 minutes.
Found with Orrsome86 and my eldest son while touring the area. Our goals for the day were to find a new reviewer, get a decent amount of altitude sickness challenge qualifying caches and then get home. First we packed up the tent and said our farewells to our fellow campers, then we found the reviewer in a multi, did a few walks, a few of the road less traveled, a visit to Oberon, then more of the road less traveled and finally headed home. It was a wet morning with light showers most of the time. Finally when we started heading home the day dried up and we were stuck in the car for hours, me with soaked feet. In the end we did everything, we only need one more reviewer and should now have enough total altitude after finding forty five caches in one day, a new personal record.
Thanks for the quick cache!
