After a fair bit of digging in 3 possible locations, we found nothing. Bad luck. TFTH
Pretty sure we have the right log but feel it’s a bit of a construction site
Original Thursday plans were abandoned, so I made new plans to catch up with a friend in Sanctuary Point. After exploring a few hotspots, I decided to come back and clean out the caches in the area! Most caches were found easily and in good condition - Thanks to the Cache Owners for their hides.
Ditto to previous comments about landscaping and construction work here. Took a bit of digging around, but got there in the end. Thanks

Traveling up the coast on our yacht getting the caches I can. First day in JB and what do I do? Go geocaching of course. Another easy find but had to wait for muggles to go. TFTC
After camping near Bateman’s Bay last night, today I made my way up the coast as far as Jervis Bay before heading to the Clear Waters event at Queanbeyan. It was another great day weather wise and I had a good time picking up a few caches along the way.
What a lovely campground and very popular by the looks!
Thanks sharv999 for the cache.

On the 1st Aquilus1 and I were supposed to be first day of a three day adventure going deep into the Heart Of Darkness.... all the way through NSW to Bogan Shire to claim a multitude of counties... but (and there is usually a but) unfortunately I no longer had three days available, just two. So, last minute change of plans was for us go to the coast and go north, and see how we went. I even solved the only puzzle on the road before leaving.
So.... it ended up being a great loop, clearing out the road from Bungendore to Nerriga and going on to claim about a dozen shires. Clearing out an area is always slow going, but we were methodical... No Cache Left Behind as dubya would have said, despite the constant rain.... at least after Nerriga it was more a trip to claim counties than to clean out the map.
Late on the 1st we remembered that we should eat, probably before everything closes... luckily we found a Thai place in Berry that grumpily let us in while staring at the clock.... no mind! The food was great. Frantic internet searching looking for a motel then ensued while waiting for our dinner... all was well, we had fine lodgings awaiting us in Kiama.
On the 2nd the rain was looking like it was going to set in for the day as well, but we soon realised it was the fog that was going to be our nemesis.... it was unbelievable and downright scary... glad I wasn't driving! But, in the pea-souper, we somehow missed our turn to The Shire and ended up near Appin, no mind, we can continue in this direction.
Not sure I can even remember all the councils we passed through and grabbed a cache or two in, but here goes:
Queanbeyan-Palerang,
Goulburn-Mulwaree
Shoalhaven
Jervis Bay
Kiama
Shellharbour
Wollongong
Wollondilly
Campbelltown
Camden
Liverpool
Fairfield
Canterbury-Bankstown
Cumberland
Strathfield
Canada Bay
Burwood
Inner West
Sydney
Woollahra
Waverley
Randwick
Bayside
Georges River
Sutherland Shire
Wingecarribee
We found it... but it was some way from the log in the undergrowth.... returned it to where it should have been

With GreyHams we had planned to head out for a three day trip into NSW for some counties, all the way to Bogan Shire! We had 14 counties on the route but a change of plans meant only the two days were available so plan B had us heading towards the coast and up towards Sydney.
All a bit of a last minute change but all good, GreyHams had a plan! Off we set, we had 5 counties on the list and would see how many more we had the time for. The new route had us driving up towards Bungendore to Tarago and then across towards Nerriga to Jervis Bay. A good trail of caches and we searched for them all, a few DNF's but mostly a successful trip through with a variety of caches found and some really great locations visited.
The rain set in about Nerriga, light and steady, and we both ended up more than a little damp at times, super fun when looking for a cache in the wet bushes! Mostly we cleared a nice path along the way with a few caches down some side tracks, a few puddles to play with along them and the only Mystery along the way... Well thanks to GreyHams for knitting that one out!
Stopped in Berry for a nice Thai dinner and then on to Kiama where we stopped for the night.
Woke to more rain but continued on North stopping at each county along the way for a cache and anything else interesting. Thankfully the rain did end up clearing... in its place there was the thickest of fog to navigate through, no worries about that on the Motorway with the traffic and almost no visibility!
Slightly turned about in the fog we did end up off track but worked out well in the end with a new course set and off to conquer the counties along the way into and around Sydney. A surprising 25 counties visited in the end, much more than expected but happy with the result and a good couple of days away to do it in. Thanks to all the CO's for your caches, apologies for the generic log, any additional cache information has been added to the end of this log.
Arrived late in the evening but ended up quite good for entry for us. We searched the log thoroughly only to come up empty but GreyHams found the cache a bit away on the ground... replaced where we though it should be.

Going for a lazy drive down the coast back to Canberra and ticking off some counties for NRC’s as we go
Super fast find. Detoured over this way to score the country as apparently I missed it last time I was here! Doh.
Lovely to be cruising the coastal roads with K8tybee after a fun weekend at Wombeyan Caves with OAC. Tftc

How do you know if you’ve found it?! This is our first try!! We may have found something?!
After circling the buildings to find the way to GZ it was a quick find once there.

Detoured here this afternoon after a training day in Vincentia. Nice to see the cache replaced and in the exact spot that we searched 3 months ago. There was a large roo sunning himself nearby. This cache clears our 30km radius. SL TFTCM.
While looking for another in the area I thought I would say hello to a cache we found earlier in the year only to come up empty. Cache has been stollen.
No luck here. The obvious spots that matched the clue were empty. I think this one needs checking...
Came down to go paddling for the long weekend, but the weather was awfully typical of that in Scotland. The kayaks got wet, but only from rain water -- we never took them off the car.
No luck with the cache
Tried a few possibilities.

jess_marree666 appears to be an armchair logger. They were in Egypt only a few days ago. Suggest this log, and every other one of their logs is false.
Nice meeting some Australian geocachers.

Found it when we walked past the toilets we didn’t mean to find it we just saw it in the fallen tree good hiding spot!
Over here from England visiting the son and grandchildren. Took the opportunity to pick this one up. Took a few minutes as I didn't have the details and the GPS was a little out. TFTC
A quick find with Cache Hunter 83 for our first one in Jervis Bay Territory. A few muggles were walking past as we were locating the cache, but otherwise it was found and replaced with no problems.

Walked around here this afternoon and once at gz soon had cache found and logged. All in good condition. TFTC
Found with The Matetrix. Spent the afternoon at Green Patch, a great beach for the family, as long as it isn't too windy. A quick hike across to the campground. Found the cache very exposed, rehid a little more discretely. TNLNSL TFTC
Hearing home from a work trip away and a little detour to find this one. I haven't been this way before and was pleasantly surprised with the amenities here. Quick find was made and as I was headed back to the car , a little wallaby decided to see what I was up to. TFTC
Parked at Greenwich and walked here with the girls, lovely little walk, felt like a real adventure. Fun, thanks
