A longer walk to this cache as this was the last in the loop on our return to the car. Thanks for an enjoyable journey and some light exercise. TFTC
A last minute decision early morning to head north again for a few hours. A beautiful warm spring day with beautiful green views all around particularly while driving on the highway. Quick find. TFTC gazza959!Picked up trackable!
Back up the Federal and Hume Highways for a few hours today to make a further dent in the Goulburn-region cache collection. A lovely stroll around Governors Hill.Thanks, gazza959!
Found 16/10/24. Just after the guard rails after the cemetery is a small space to park, from here its a 100m walk up a gentle hill to the cache. I parked on Gorman Street and walked in for the other Governors caches, but drove around to this spot. Cache is still here and in good shape.
On way to Capital GeoBash Mega in Canberra this afternoon. Another NSW LGA to visit and find this cache, TFTC
A stop for fuel on the way home and saw this was not too far away on the out leg from town so parked and made our way over. Couldnt spot the hide but read some logs and then moved the camo at lower level to make the find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Went for a quick walk between events to grab a couple of these caches! Only managed to pick up three of them before we ran out of time and had to head back! Still have a few more to grab in this series, have only ever done a small section at a time 
Thanks gazza! No doubt I will be back at least one more time!

1 of the 3Mutineers, KitKataddict12739 (also the 2 geohounds) and myself needed a good walk for our mental wellbeing. I've had my eye on this Governor Hill series for a long time and decided today was the day. Yes it was cold, yes it was windy, yes there was lots of bushbashing and yes we found an occasional track but... we all had an absolutely fantastic day. Thanks for the interesting history and thanks for the caches.
This series was one of my main targets for my trip to Goulburn. I tackled the series on foot, averaging one find every 11 minutes without any great exertion. No dnf's, but did have to go digging for a couple and did utilise an alternative cache provided alongside the original when the original was unserviceable.
My third cache in the series - once again good co-ords made for a quick find.

Great day for a road trip and a walk - what fun. Out with Joolay, Kittykatch, Isopeda, Smittengranny, Albida33 and Sol de Lune. Tftc
Found on a road trip to Goulburn with a bunch of mates. First cache for the trail.

Out with a group from Canberra that included Albida, Smittengranny, Kittykatch, Joolay, Barb2e and Isopead for a few hours caching Goulburn.
After a couple of higher D/T caches, this series was our main aim for the day. All but one cache was found without issue, and the one we didn't find was replaced after checking with the CO. A pleasant walk around the area on a great day weather wise.
Thanks gazza959....a fav point on this one for the series.

This was the first find in the series that had drawn a group of cachers from Canberra to the area. We were parked very close to GZ and was a very gentle introduction to the walk on the hill, not that it was as difficult as I imagined it could be.Cache was found and log signed. TFTC gazza959
Visited enroute to do some maintenance on nearby Cutler. Found cache & log totally water logged so have replaced the log & bag with one I had planned for Cutler maintenance.

Today, Sui_001 and I headed out to Goulburn to clean up the caches in the area. We spent a total of almost 9 hours caching and I enjoyed every minute of it. Sui_001 is one funny guy.
There were some highlights for the day included 10 Lab caches plus 2 bonuses, 1 multi cache, and about 19 Trads for me and about 29 Trads for Sui_001 as we did some caches that I had done before. Not sure exactly how far we drove but it was many hundreds of kilometers. I love geocaching so much and the friends I have made along the way make it all worthwhile. I really enjoyed Loci612 Adventure Lab Cache that was a tour of all the old cemetery's in Goulburn. The bonus cache was great also as it had about 15 trackables in it and as we all know, I love trackables plus it was an ammo can.
Thanks for all the caches and sorry for the generic log for this cache but with more than 40 caches today alone it gets hard to write a different one for each cache. Most caches were found in good order except for two that were missing (replaced for the owners), 1 that was broken and 2 that had very wet logbooks.
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 detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges Geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. As of today, my average was less than 160 words per log, which seems close to the 200-word 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 to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After 7500 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 160 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before this year ends. Progress has been better than anticipated. *****

We had a most enjoyable day of caching around Goulburn. Sunday is always a great day to do caches in a city. We also ventured out for a bush walk and found the Governors Hill series. Thanks to gazza959 for arranging this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
My family and I travelled down from Brisbane to Vincentia to spend the Christmas period with relatives. With bush fires burning in the surrounding areas, we decided to head off to Canberra on 28th December for New Year in an (ultimately futile) attempt to escape the smoke.
I was due to pick up some geocaching friends from Sydney on 2 January for a planned hike in Kosciusko National Park (ultimately cancelled due to closures by bush fires ), but the smoke was so bad in Canberra today that I headed off a day early in search of some fresher air. On the drive there I was able to stop off here for a visit.
Not much traffic on the roads today so that allowed me to approach slowly and find a safe park at the end of the guardrail which left a short walk to GZ. The cache was found safe and well and my name stamped into the logbook. TFTC

Good to be able to park reasonably close by. Very happy to have difficulty and terrain rating of 3, although not quite sure if it's warranted ... Tftc!
We headed to Goulburn today with Rapidlywild to attend the Giff event. There had been a few new geocaches published since our last assault to this area, so we decided to head up early to find them.
We decided to check a few of these ones out in the late afternoon, after finding a nice access point, after a quick stroll it was a quick find.

Plans were put in place with the ladies of FurfacesLL to head up to Goulburn to attend the GIFF event and clean up the area again. We had a great day with lots of laughs and some adventures in the new geomobile. A wonderful way to spend Rememberence Day (which we stopped at 11am to take a minute silence in respect and we were just down the road from the Rocky Hill War Memorial). We decided to check a couple of these out prior to heading home, would have been alot nicer if it wasnt so hot, will have to return in the winter to finish off the remainder of the series.
Thanks for the cache hide gazza959 and the ladies of FurfacesLL for another great caching day out

Nice easy find to round out the Governor's Hill series.
Many thanks for placing these caches - I never realised there was such sweet single track around here. I'll have to return with the MTB.

Today was freezing!!! And after we were suckered in by the warm weather yesterday. Sigh. But after collecting all but 3 of this series over a year ago, it was nice to get out with sneakingsquirrel3325 and get another one under the belt. Took the short walk rather than the long one today. Cache in great condition. Tftc!
Quick find after spending the morning at the Fair Trade market in town!

A successful day was spent outdoors with the familiar gang. The plan was to clear out Goulburn once again. We practically achieved our goal, by finding 40 caches in 10 hours, with about 7 DNF's. Thanks to all the Cache Owners for maintaining the caches that we found today.
After tackling caches in Goulburn, it was time we made our way home. On the drive, we stopped by the trail marker to do some reconnaissance of the track. While we were here, we weren't too far away, so we figured we'd walk up to this one. Cheers

Found with Muppet95 and friends on a trip to Goulburn for a enjoyable afternoon of caching. Thanks for the caches!
A great day out with friends to seek out some more caches around the Goulburn area. Thanks to all COs for their caches.
Heading to Morrisset for the Mega we picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.
While staying at Goulburn we explored the area and made an easy find at GZ.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found with nissan 65. After spending a night at near by caravan park we decided to collect these ones before heading home for a pm shift today. Great day for it beautiful weather. Thankyou for the cache
Found while taking a break from driving and going for a bit of a walk. I parked in a shady spot and headed towards GZ. I heard a few creatures rustling in the undergrowth, but didn't get to see them. Once at GZ I spotted the cache as there was little camo covering it. Once I signed the log and replaced the container I tried to increase the cover. TFTC.
A quick find by hubby here on a cold wet Tuesday. We’re on a slow trip home from the Alexandra Mega, caching where we can. TFTC 
I stopped here to find the Governor's Hill Trig, but surprised to see that I was going to pass two GC caches on the way to it. I would have stayed for more, but the sun was setting and didn't like the thought of being lost in the woods overnight. TFTC
Gotcha ! On my caching expedition this month I added this one to my list of finds. TFTH. Catching up on my logs for the month. Thanks for a great little trail.

I pulled up on the hill and dashed off to grab this cache thinking it was one less I needed to include when I finally get to looking for the series. I didn't want to log it now but wait until I had completed the series and log them all together, but I suppose when your a couple of thousand along it really doesn't matter. Didn't have any problems locating this one.

Took my little brother out geocaching.
So after a long drive I brought him to this area that I meant to clear last time I was in the area.
Left a travel bug.

Took a few minutes to locate. Not very "elevated." Last of this series for us, taking 1 hour 50 minutes. As a precaution we had waypointed our car. As it turned out, this cache was within sight of our car. TFTC
a quite easter sunday , with all the home work done 
it was time to catch up with the Roosters in Goulburn 
and do a few caches
we have to say that a lot of the caches need the coords looked at
but we found what we looked for we drove past some , could not reach others 
(cause legs and backs aint what they used to be [B)]
sadly the trail that was our main target for the trip had so much dumped garbage around it destracted from the beautiful spots we were being taken to so sad that the locals feel the need to dump, especially when the dump is only a smell away 
all in all it was a top day out , with 37 caches found in just under 5hrs[^] in which lots were out of the way in the sticks [^]
thanx to roosterman for the day out , we'll have to do it again sometime [^]
thanx to all the cache placers for making our Sunday cheers

Another great weekend away with Hoojar and The Rats. This time it was down towards Canberra with a few caches in between. This was one of many that we managed to tackle. TFTC!
What a great spot for some caches and a history lesson. Found with Justjessie on our Goulburn adventure. TFTC.
When a weekend caching with the boys comes along you grab it by the horns, with kids weekend sport washed out steeba, Hoojar and myself headed south with a goal of completing the Kangaroo power trail in Kowen Forest.
Over 2 days we found 150+ caches, walked through 679 spiderwebs, saw 310 kangaroos, were surprised by 8 deer, patted 1 echidna and stepped over countless fallen, all in the name of fun.
Thanks to all the cache owners who contributed to our weekend and apologises for the generic log, but certainly doesn't detract from the hide or the fun we had.

Another fantastic weekend away with The Rats and Steeba.
We had been trying for some time to get the timing right to head back to the ACT to knock over the Kowen 'Roo series. On our previous attempt, the Forest was closed. We thought the same would happen this weekend, when we realised that we were clashing with the Mont 24, so we came up with Plan B.
However, Steeba came through with the goods, access was granted, and even a Permit to drive and camp in the Forest was obtained... Excellent! So our plans changed at the very last minute, and we were back on for The 'Roo.
We found about 150 caches over the weekend, the three of us, along with Juno my geo-puppy. We walked, cached, talked and generally had an excellent time, as we always do on our caching trips away. We especially walked through some beautiful scrub in Goulburn and Kowen.
Thank you to all of the cache owners that placed caches that we found over the course of our trip. Sorry about the generic logging, I promise it does not reflect my enjoyment of your cache!

A short walk from the main road. Not trying the whole series today but doing a bit of recon. TFTC.
I had the itchin for a few bush caches this morning so jumped in the car and drove to Goulburn to tackle this series along with the Woodland series,I arrived after lunch and had a really enjoyable time strolling around Governors Hill with the roos and wallabies,and finding all the caches,
I deceided I would tackle the series clockwise.This was my last find in the series.
I could hear the roar of engines almost the whole journey from the nearby speedway
Thanks gazza959 for a great series !!

Chose today to walk around Governors Hill, to get all the caches, as weather was cool around 20 degrees. Parked on highway near Governor Phillip cache and walked to the rest from there. Found and signed all. Great series. Thanks for the walk and all the caches.
I jumped out of the car and skipped on up to this cache. It took a few seconds of looking before I spotted the hide. Bashir was my last governor for today. I still have a few to collect. Thanks gazza959!
A great day of caching in the highlands and Goulburn. Had lots of puzzles solved in the preparation and was determined to do multi's or any unusual caches as well. Ended up with only 3 dnf for the day and lots of funny and good finds, thanks for putting out all the caches.

Each year on our way home from a recurring holiday, we have lunch in Goulburn. I plan on getting one of these series each time. Today I got the closest to the road.
The plan for to-day was to find caches around Mt Gray and Governors Hill and then around Goulburn itself. Nice to walk through open forested areas and quite a few roos around. TFTC.
came up here with minniek and fitzy1965. Came up here Minniek to help fitzy clear out Goulburn today and as we came yesterday we decided to help him out a bit.
12859. Found during a day trip to Goulburn on the last day of my holidays.
I was up this way 4 days ago and whittled down the unfound caches in the area to around 20, so I decided to come up again today to try and clean out Goulburn - at least for while I hope ! I was very lucky to have a guide (or guides) for the Governors Hill series - minniek and her clan meeting me to go for the loop around the 10 caches here. Next find for the day. Continuing on from the last cache we soon arrived at the next in the series. A quick find at GZ. Signed the log, returned the cache, then we headed off to the next one.
Thanks again gazza959 !! Nice little series in a lovely area !

I was very lucky to have a guide (or guides) for the Governors Hill series - minniek and her clan meeting me to go for the loop around the 10 caches here. Next find for the day. Continuing on from the last cache we soon arrived at the next in the series. A quick find at GZ. Signed the log, returned the cache, then we headed off to the next one.
Thanks again gazza959 !! Nice little series in a lovely area !

A full days caching from Canberra to Goulburn and back, including today's event in Goulburn. A walk to find this series was a welcome break from park and grabs. Easily found. TFTC and the walk.

Heading back to Canberra from Sydney today following Xmas festivities. I stopped off in Blacktown on the way through, just to break up the journey before hitting the freeways.
The traffic out of Sydney was quite horrendous today. I guess everyone is leaving Sydney at the same time. I didn't stop again until Goulburn as it was well & truly lunchtime. Following lunch I headed up to the new Governor's Hill mini-series as I'd only recently done the series just over the road. Having walked over the hill, gathering the half-dozen or so caches there, I was a quite hot & sweaty.
I collected a few more caches as I headed back though Goulburn, but rather than the usual route down the Federal Hwy, I chose to head down Braidwood road so I could grab a few more caches down that way.

Despite driving past here countless times, this is the first time I've explored this area. A good (cool) day to do this and easy walking on both trails and cross-country.
A good cross country walk from "sinclair" and then back to the car mostly along the firetrail. Cache found OK, although may not last where it is perched.
Thanks for the series.

Before leaving Goulburn we decided to pick up these from this hill. It was allready warming up and the flys we're extremely friendly. We spotted kangaroos and wallabies along the way as well as evidence of junk been dumped. All in all not a bad track with good Coods. TFTC
Once I got to this one I realised I was doing the loop in reverse... Nevermind! Enjoying the trail so far no problems besides the six foot Eastern grey kangaroo I startled near gz here. Dropped another trackable here.
Thanks Gazza959

Chooo ooo [FTF] on a warm afternoon! Had been out and about all day today, and when I finally arrived home, and checked the cache situation, I noticed these new ones! OK – that’s planned the rest of my afternoon . Jumped into the geomobile and headed off, hoping no one else was going to get there first! Arrived near the first one, and headed off on foot. Poo! What was that smell??? Smelt like I was in the middle of the sewage works! This seemed to be the smell for the entire expedition, but I did manage to sort of get used to it by the end. I’m not sure if it was the smell, or it’s always like this in Goulburn, but there were thousands of flies! They tried to crawl into my nose, mouth and eyes! Grrrr… (Guess who forgot the insect repellent!). Anyways, apart from those minor inconveniences, this was a cool area that I have not been to before! Started at number one, and worked my way through. Got to the Cutler one, and couldn’t find it for nuts! After half an hour I decided to give it a miss. (Couldn’t decide if BOT was base of tree, or base of trig, as GZ was at the trig, but I didn’t want to disassemble it!!) So I finished off the series – nice and easy. Hmmm, only a 200m detour back to the Cutler one – let’s try some more! After a rather significant expansion of my search circle, I finally found the sucker about 30m away! – Cool, at least quicker than coming back again another time. Thanks for the series G959.
