Lush regrowth - ankle deep grass. Lovely birds

A little trip from Narrabri to see this nice little town. After geocaching we enjoyed the nice and warm bath. TFTC!

After our travels it was time to sell our Matilda the campervan and settle down in Narrabri for few months. On our day off from work we drove here to do some geocaching and enjoy nice day. Thank you for the cache!

Thanks

TFTC. Found it with Irondale.

Found on ground away from GZ

Found on ground in the mud. Placed back in low fork. TFTC

Stayed here overnight while enjoying the nearby artesian pool. Enjoyed the wander along the wetlands. Most hides where found after a short search. Loved the different containers and hides.Thanks for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

All good at this cache, thanks, Coongoola. Lots of birdlife, off to the baths now.

We stayed at the Pilliga bore baths overnight and I thought I’d check out the wetlands walk this morning.
It was lovely and peaceful and I could hear and see lots of birds. It was interesting reading the info boards. Tftc

Easy win

Rewarded with some ring neck parrots despite the rain. Cache log was signed and I'll continue on

Tftc Coongoola, When we stayed at the bore baths here about 3 years ago before we were geocaching we did this walk.
It was a lot drier then.
Today there was some wet to the wetlands and a variety of water birds enjoying the location .
All caches were in good condition.
Thanks

Log changed by fellow geocacher. Thanks David.

New log sheet noted and will be replaced shortly.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

I am so sorry but I don't have any paper with me, please for the next cachet Bring some extra paper. Thankyou

A nice quick find
TFTC

Found it casket buried in mud also paper wet needs replacing

TFTC had to keep a careful watch for our reptile friends!!

TFTC. A nice quick find once I bush bashed. Glad it wasn’t summer. I’m loving this walk with my 2 new knees.

NEF - Found on ground- consequently log wet - I popped it up a bit higher, but not as high as it probably once was. TFTC coongoola

I travelled to northern NSW for some bushwalking at Mt Kaputar and took the opportunity to search out a couple of geocaches on my meandering route there. This cache was a reasonably straightforward find, lying on the ground on the coordinates. The contents were wet after last month’s rain. I placed it off the ground in a place that looked suitable. Thank you coongoola for installing and maintaining this cache.

This cache was on the ground and is in need of a wire to hold it into the tree. The walk off the path is a dangerous one with all the prickly bushes

Thanks coongoola for the cache.
Found at 1:38 pm on 28/1/21.
Find # 2213

What does tftc mean?

I think It was this one I found sitting on the ground dont think this was the right spot so put it in the fork not sure if you have someone to check

thanks for putting out these caches just migrating through for the one day we are heading to Narrabri than Coonamble than Gilgandra than Home,thanks for bring us up here and coords spot on thanks again just completed my 2000 cache at the bore nearby

I started out relatively early for me this morning and I was so glad I did. The walk is exposed and the sun was hot. Especially by the time I finished at 10:30. Thanks to excellent coordinates all caches were found .

This one took more finding and although email2 had rehidden this one in "a tight spot" after finding it on the ground I couldn't find it in such a place. On about the 5th circumnavigation of the tree I found it as the sun glinted on it on the ground. After signing duties were completed I replaced it in what I think was "the tight spot" above where I found it on the ground.
Thanks again for the series Coongoola.

Didn’t want to walk into the Bush.

We have spent the morning Walking along the creek

Caching in and around Pilliga and surrounds we picked up a few caches and this was one of them.

A nice stroll around the wetlands, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks coongoola for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

We spot this cluster of caches on the map and were thrilled to see there was a walk involved. Our two favorite pastimes combined - geocaching and a nature walk.
So we decided to take a detour and travel from Narrabri to Gilgandra via Pilliga.
It was well worth the extra 40 kms. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk and were surprised at how much water there is here. All the caches were easy to find and the info boards are interesting.
Be sure to cover yourself in insect repellent and wear a fly veil if you have one.
Thanks Coongoola for creating this trail and bringing us here.

good cache

Heading south from Gundy geo-caching and camping. Took a detour to the Australian Telescope Compact Array, then another to the Pilliga hot artesian baths, and blow me down if there's not a whole series of caches here as well ! Camping at the bore, so headed out on the "wetlands" walk in the late pm. Got three well placed, maintained and accurately recorded hides. Thanks so much coongoola. We'll do a few more tomorrow hopefully

It had fallen down so replace in tight spot Cheers

Found whole on the walk.

Day 3 of our epic journey to Cape York and the third day of our streak. We continued today with a series of easy little finds along the Pillaga Wetlands walk - a lovely stroll of about 4 km return. TFTCs

Hanging fruit

Hi there coongoola. We're currently camped at Burren Junction Borebaths, so today was a touring day between Burren Junction and Pilliga - a pretty easy day. This cache was a quick find and the container and the log are dry and in good condition. SL. Thanks to coongoola for this cache - our find #6661.

We stayed overnight at the campsite in Pilliga.

We’ve done this series as part of our plan to do a nice walking tour
Thank you for the cache
Team sissifalke

Another easy find, lots of birdlife in the wetlands to look at.

I took the stroll through the parched wetlands today.
The wetness only comes from the nearby bore at the moment.
Rains had nothing to do with the waters evident here

I passed by a bunch of rather sad looking horses here
"Why the long faces?", I asked.

These nags are just skin and bones
Their fur if falling off.
And one of them is lying neaby ... dead 'n' stinking [XX(]

Cache found

Pilliga
We have camped here by the bore baths, a great location. Free swim in the hot pool. Wild horses in the paddock beside us & a kangaroo that came to drink from the creek.
Bill took his bike & completed the trail.
We stopped where it was suitable with the caravan on to find caches.
It was good to find such a variety of caches & hides along the way.
Thanks for placing this cache coongoola

TFTC! I'm loving this little trail of caches!
Just when I was ruminating on how dry everything is I came across the carcass of a horse, I can only assume a victim of the drought. Just skin and bone.

One week caching, soaking and camping.
Time to hit the road, yeehaaa.....

TFTC

Great

Found on a walk from the bore where we are camped. Thanks.

Tftc

TFTC quick finds for this series, love this walk & the Bore

TFTC. We are camped at the Bore for a few days. Before have a plunge this morning we decided to walk the Wetlands and cache. We started badly. We had to come back for 3 and 1 as the eluded us at first. We found all of them and our names are in the log.

We are touring Australia and caching as we go!
Spending a few days at the bore baths so thought we may as well do the wetlands walk while we are here. It's a little hot here this morning but we didn't let that stop us.
Found all the caches along the way. Thanks coongoola, your trail of caches is much appreciated!
Cheers from Canada!

Another good find on my morning walk around the wetlands.
Thanks.

Found thanks.

Lots of poo from the bison!! Lol TFTC

After havign a soak in the nearby bath I took a walk over here to grab a couplf of these caches.

Cheers

No pen .. easy find

Checked on this one today and it's all good.

A bit harder - bush bashing.

Despite quite a crowd at the Bore camping area, there was no one else on the Wetlands Walk. Parked the bikes and continued to the cache on foot cause we weren't pushing our luck (or our bikes!) due to lurking cat eyes. TFTC coongoola.

Another good find.TFTC

Tftc

Found with hodgee42, the FTF'er

Grabbed all these ones at night before going to the bore. Good to see some caches in a small town like this. TFTC
