Unfortunately, no response from the CO so it's time to bring it to the attention of a Reviewer.
We thought we'd have a look for this one even though there are conflicting opinions whether it's there or not. Started looking in the usual places under the seat -even pulled plastic ends off! All the time, a dark figure stared through his front door at us, we gave him a wave, gave up and as geohubby made his way across the rd to the front lawn, the figure weaved away from the glass panels of the front door. I'd say if it's gone, he's responsible. Thanks anyway ,

DNF also returned with some body who had found it before and they confirmed that cache was gone.
Staying across the road I brought the geokids over for a quick cache whilst geohubster cooked pancakes for Geo 4yr olds bday today! Geo 8 yr old made a quick find. SL, TFTC!
Heading North for a short holiday and collecting some caches along the way.
Thanks for placing them for us to find.

Visiting family in mudgee this weekend, decided to do this cache as it was just down the road from where we are staying, quick easy find, hoping to do a few more while in town
I felt a bit stupid sitting as though I was having a picnic in this freezing weather. After looking in a few places I checked one place by brushing it with my hand and the cache was flung onto the ground! I logged and returned it to where it had been sitting, thanks Stuckrocks for the hide.

Having bid our farewells to folk at the Oz Geo Muster, we set our compass for Mudgee - almost there! A quick find, nice to see a January log by our Qld buddies Liz and Bruce.
Satelites today had our GZ 7M South from where we found the cache.
Thanks 'Stuckrocks' for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

In Mudgee for Easter camping out at the gun club and doing some caching thanks
Mudgee trip for The Road Less Traveled series. Day 4. Mudgee to Canberra via Gulgong and Bathurst. On my last day I started with a few caches around Mudgee. Despite the size of the cache it was soon in hand.
Thanks.

Not so easy find but then again sometimes your boyfriend just needs to have a geeze
We are heading from Brisbane to Bright in Victoria, caching as we go, wherever it is safe to pull up with the caravan. We left Brisbane on 3rd Jan and don't have to be in Bright til the end of the month. Today, after an overnight camp in Sandy Hollow, we moved further west towards Mudgee. Did not plan to do too many caches as we traveled as it was heading to be another hot day. A call from Liz & Bruce had us meeting half way for coffee in the bush. Onwards to Mudgee, where we set up the caravan and headed out for a few more caches.
The heat is getting to us, so after this one we called it quits. This one was easy, once we stood up to the challenge. Thanks Stuckrocks

We are staying at the Mudgee showgrounds and with this extreme heat we headed out for a while to get some caches before returning to the comfort the aircon in the caravan provides. This was one of the caches we targetted and were able to find and we thank Stuckrocks for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
On a two day caching trip with GeodudeAU to cover more of TRLT series and others from Carcalgong-Mudgee-Gulgong-Ilford-Capertee-Lithgow. We had 90 finds and only a few DNFs for our efforts. A great couple of days exploring the Central Tablelands seeing some amazing places we wouldn't normally visit. We even survived the mini-hurricane that swept through our campsite along the Cudgegong River at TSR (Cullenbone)! Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches. Most were in good order and easily found with the help of handy hints to get CIH.
I didn't take a seat but opted to stand. And it was CIH. TFTC

Out with Brewmaker for a 2 day trip finding caches along The Road Less Travelled series and other nearby ones. On this day 1 we started around Carcalgong and then headed north through Windeyer, Grattai and Erudgere before finally camping overnight at Mudgee.
It was an enjoyable journey through the countryside seeing farm and native animals along the way. There was only a little bit of light rain at times today, which didn't cause a problem.
We found all of the caches very easily (with just one providing a longer search). Most of the caches were in good order, so all in all it was a good day's caching. Thanks to all of the COs for providing this trail
The hint was a bit misleading on this, but we made the find in the dark after exhausting all obvious options.

After having spent most of the day out on the TRLT series, we came back in to Mudgee where we went for a few caches. The temperature soaring around 40 degrees made sure that not too many muggles were out and about.
Having sat down for a while, we realised that we had to stand up to get to the cache.

Quick find, log is almost full and only has space for 2 more entries. TNLN, TFTC!
2/10/17. 3:14 PM. Cache #5437.
30th of 38 finds (& 5 DNFs) today.
Day 3 of the long weekend for which I have come up to plunder caches in the Mid West Regional council.
Now I was back in Mudgee again after spending all morning caching in smaller suburbs and towns to the north as far as Gulgong.
There are 15 caches in Mudgee proper as of today, and I ended up with 10 finds, 2 DNFs and skipped 3.
Came here after getting "History of Mudgee" and made a quick find. Signed, replaced and then continued west. "Norm King Park" I skipped due to all the DNFs and no finds in about a year, so "Rocky Road" was next. TFTC.

Nice little spot for a memorial. Quick grab. There is quite a bit of traffic when you want to do something suss!
Found as part of a weekend away with Hoojar. We headed up towards Gulgong the first night and camped near the start/ end of TRLT (@ -5 degrees ). The next day we made it through some nice historic places and great rolling countryside to finish up at Sunny Corner after a feed in Bathurst. The next day a few more finds before we headed home. Plenty of roadkill spotted, not many cars and not too much trouble at each cache. Thanks to all those cache hiders .
The opportunity finally arose that Steeba and I both had a free weekend to go caching. We quickly settled upon the northern half of The Road Less Traveled series. We drove to Gulgong via Mudgee after work on Friday, camping just before midnight at the suggested TSR nearby.
Saturday we made our way via the caching trail, and the odd additional cache, to Bathurst for dinner, then back onto the trail to Sunny Corner where we again camped for the evening.
Sunday we turned our heads for home, via a few additional cache stops in Portland and Wallerawang.
A fantastic weekend away, with excellent country to be seen and company to be had. We enjoyed the caches that we found.
Thank you to all of the cache owners, and sorry for the boiler-plate logs!

TFTC. Spotted quickly By Geokid3. Great location and hqnks for he memorial. Very sad.
A short walk from the caravan park, in the cold and it was getting dark and we had left the torch behind. But still success, TFTC
Easy find and really really small. The log was a pain to roll back up into the cache itself.
Not saying that it isn't there, but I had no luck. The co-ords are a bit off, but the clue is pretty clear. I spotted something loose that would have made a potential hiding spot for a micro, but there was nothing there.
The memorial was sad and very interesting at the same time. I'm wondering how many flying hours are necessary to become a senior helicopter pilot, and when this young man started flying in order to rack up such a tally at the tender age of 21. Impressive!

Thanks for the hide, nice to have a cache here to bring people to this memorial park. Make sure you read the statue before you leave..
There really was only one general area where this cache could be,so we searched there despite the GPS wanting us about 9 metres away in the middle of the grass. It was soon found ans was no problem as we love looking for and finding nano caches. Left our name on the log and returned it to its hiding place. Thank you to Stuckrocks for putting this cache out so we cold add another smiley to our map.
Somebody up the road went with the Lion theme, with a statue at the front of the driveway. Then there was the cache. It could only have been in two spots, but I had to wait for a break in the traffic...which was not easy today. TFTC
Another day (3rd) only a few hours today, Heading north today to do a some more of the TRLT series. Quick find TFTC
### Trip to the bush ###
Day 1
We started our trip in Rouse Hill towards the bush region of New South Wales.
Our first stop was in Springwood where we took a little bush walk and found this letterbox in the middle of the bush. We then visited the geological sandstone attraction and informed ourselves about the geological features of this region.
We then continued our trip towards Katoomba where we enjoyed the breathtaking view over the Blue Mountains at Echo Points. We took a little walk and reached the 3 sisters form the originally 7 sisters. Now it was starting to get dark and we continued on to the town to look for a couple of more caches before finishing off the day.
Day 2
At early morning, we relaxed once more for a little while longer at Eco Point before we continued our trip towards Blackheath and Mount Victoria.
We had a little break at Lake Lyell where we visited the dam and had some snacks.
We then continued towards Ryell and high up to Mount Lambie where we were lucky to spot many animals again.
We left the main road just before Bathurst towards the quiet countryside past Peel, Wattle Flat and the historical Sofala. We had a coffee break at Sofala where we drove around the old historic town.
We then continued our drive on Hill End Road and we socked in the beautiful nature. We were lucky to see many animals on the way.
We were welcomed by many roos at Hill End.
We left Hill End and drove towards Hargreaves towards our night stop at Windeyer. We slept at Bushland Tourist Park once again in the beautiful train accommodation. We had dinner at the local pub where we had nice pasta.
Day 3
We had to first free the car from all the ice before we could start our trip towards Mudgee. It gets cold out there at night, around -1 degrees.
We drove towards the west to Wellington and Stuart Town, Mumbil, Dam Arthur and finished the day in Dubbo.
We were astonished by NSW untouched nature and beautiful wildlife.
Day 4
We started the day with a little trip outside of Dubbo’s bushalnds.
We then strolled around the city of Dubbo and visited the beautiful Botanic Graden of Dubbo. The Gardner’s put so much work into maintain this beautiful spot. Well done.
We started the trip home towards Sydney past Wellington, Mudgee and Portland.
We drove past the Mt Piper Power station and informed us about the tours.
We continued towards Sydney.
We hereby want to thank all owners for all the work you have done in maintaining the caches. You have showed us many beautiful and also many hidden spots which we wouldn’t have found without the caches.
Thank you

FTF @ 7:15am A quick find but a lovely little park commemorating the life of a lovely young man. TFTC Stuckrocks. This gets a favourite point from me.
