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

Letting everyone know that the grass is very high on most of the walk so please be very careful.

Last found in August 2021, and a dnf following, we messaged the CO of the Wetland Cache.
After a good search at gz and a widening of the search area, the cache has gone missing in action.
Happy to help CO and have replaced the cache at GZ.
Thanks for the wonderful walk around the Wetlands.
The grasses are so lush and green, so high to walk through, watching for slithery creatures as we made noises with our boots.
That sticky stuff from the early morning dew from the seeds of the grasses was so sticky but a good swim back at camp soon had it all gone )

TFTC. Almost there. I’ve loved this walk. So many interesting living and dead things to look at along the track.
Another one down

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 .
Again the sun showed me the way to this cache as it was twinkling as I approached. TFTC SL

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.

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 ! On way out of town now, and its early, so time to grab a few more to add to yesterday's tally. Another well placed, maintained and accurate hiding place. TFTC coongoola.
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
Hi there coongoola. We're currently camped at Burren Junction Borebaths, so today was a touring day between Burrent 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 #6657.
Found by Mary and David at 1450. A pity we don't have time to do the whole walk, or have a dip in the bore pool, but we are on a fairly tight schedule today, so targeted the caches with nearby car access. Friendly horses nearby were a real novelty for us. We'll just have to come back. Our thanks to coongoola.
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

Much more civilized in the cool of the car, easy find thanks. So much water in the wet lands, we were impressed.
Strolling the wetlands today
It sure is dry out here away from the water !! [:o]
but on the wetter side of things,
birdlife abounds
I was a bit worried about the pelican circling over me head though.
If one of those birds lets go in flight,
you will wear it [:o]

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. The cache was replaced at the spot the CO had described.
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.

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!

The Kamilaroi meaning for Pilliga is 'swamp oaks' - an appropriate name for the natural scenery along the Wetlands Walk. This trail is not only a very pleasant walk/ride, it cleverly lures campers at the Bore into Pilliga. [^] TFTC coongoola.
Joint {*FTF*} Found with hodgee42
Grabbed all these ones at night before going to the bore. Good to see some caches in a small town like this. TFTC
