#22746 @1800This afternoon, I cached my way to the southern highlands. Once here, I enjoyed a 'remote' wander. Then dropped by this cache. A quick find. TFTC.
Coordinates changed from:S 34 26.379 E 150 28.152Coordinates changed to:S 34 26.388 E 150 28.174Distance from original: 123.3 feet or 37.6 meters.Just did a maintenance check... lots of clearing around GZ so decided to move the cache container back to a more appropriate spot... the guardrail on the bridge.Happy Caching
Last cache for the day down here in the Southern Highlands, except it wasn't the last cache for the day.
Parked the geomobile not far from GZ - nice looking golf course here.
I checked lots of possible hiding places but no luck so tried another place which matched the hint. No luck there either, so I went back to one of the first places I'd checked. Well hadn't checked carefully enough as there it was.

After finishing our last cache and heading to this one Geospark62 and I ran into CO HappyUke. We had a great chat and she was very helpful with info to finish off a trail we attempted this morning. Not today though it’s become too hot. Log signed and replaced as found. Thanks for all the caches HappyUke.
Couldn’t find it, the hint made no sense and the comments were confusing and contradictory
Having a quick visit to the southern highlands after exploring the South Coast for a few days.
Luckily GZ was just out of view of some muggle golfers, where we soon found the container.

Picked this one up on an afternoon stroll through the bush on the bike trail. This one was a quick find and replaced quickly. Then onto the bush track. TFTC
Decided that a few roadside caches would be a good way to end the day. TFTC
Found after reviewing clues from others....missed first time. Nice blending.

Well someone wasn't driving very cautiously... the sign was flattened!... and it wasn't even frosty!
Anyway the sign has been removed. So the cache is now over on the other side of the road. As such I have had to change the D/T rating to 2/1.5 sorry.
Good luck and happy caching

Starting off the geoventure with my partner in crime Mizcupcake today nice and early. We're here in the Mittagong area and enjoying the great weather. This is the 5th find for the day. This one was a little tricky as stealth is required because of it's location. I found this one quickly when reaching gz, but had to wait for a break in the traffic coming through. It was a little annoying but we got there in the end. Log was signed by us both and we headed off. TFTC!
Littl3Vix and I have decided to hit up the Southern Highlands for our big geo adventure today. We have a big day planned, Bowral and surrounds is the perfect place for us, many caches and many cache types! Plus, who can forget that its EarthCache weekend? So we left town early, despite my flat battery hitch at Littl3vixs house
Next, we came back up to Willow Vale to complete a power trail or 2, and stop number 5 was here. We parked nearby and wandered over, both of our instincts led ups one way, but the GPS pulled us in the other, once the first place turned up nothing, Littl3Vix made a quick find while trusting the GPS more than I did lol. Thank you for the cache!

Catching up on logging all my finds since i joined in July. Really tricky, tftc!
This was tricky! GPS went nuts so just focused on the hint and eventually had CIH! Tftc!
Met up with HappyUke today after messaging about a previous missing cache. Surprised with a path tag each! Lovely lady, Thank you!
A very sneaky hide, we began our search but had to pause to let some muggles pass by, it was at that time that the cache owner happened to come by. We had a quick friendly chat and they looked on as we made the find. It was nice to meet the cache owner and have a chat. Thank you for the cache!
TFTC TFTH A super sneaky hide, thanks for the hint. Well done HappyUke for the cache..BZ
Really needed my glove but took my life in my hands and was soon signing the log. TFTC HappyUke
I liked the fun hint, which becomes immediately obvious when at GZ. Nice hide too and good coordinates. Cache is a micro. Cache and log are good. TFTC HappyUke.
Found with sjg66 on our Highlands caching weekend. Thanks to all the CO's who maintain these caches, we had a great time.
Stayed the night at the Caravan park and found on early morning walk. A bit difficult to get from hiding spot, but finally got it. Thanks for the cache.
#5296 Found on a stop-off on the way back to Canberra from a quick trip up to Sydney. I figured I could spare about an hour to find caches before I needed to hit the road again and thought this area looked interesting. I loved the walk through the bush alongside the railway, no trains today.
Thanks HappyUke!
Thanks HappyUke!
Find number 4616
A nice quick find while out for an afternoon of caching in the area.
Retrieving was a little tricker as the cache was in a little deeper than as could reached, but a handy tool soon had it out in our hand.
Thanks HappyUke for placing this cache.

No chance of black ice today - too warm.

Driving to Canberra for the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. A beautiful day to be driving around the slow route there and enjoying the sights and caches placed in the countryside by our awesome cache owners. This is another great Cache walk In the Willow Vale area by HappyUke. Persist with this one and you will find it. If you’re scared of putting your fingers down places where spiders could hide. I had given up but my wife persisted but I was the brave soul who put my fingers where she wouldn’t. gloves For the Faint hearted. TFTC
Quick find however geo husband had to reach in, geo wife to scared incase of spiders!!
Extra warning!!!! Caution required to extract the cache. The hide was inhabited by a red back spider this morning. We signed the log and exterminated the unwanted visitor. Tftc
On our way to a week in Callala Bay. Beautiful scenic drive brought us here with Clan Venter. Thank you.
