We got all the slim dusty series and then came to complete this series after completing the fruit and nut series too. A pretty quick find at GZ with good coordinates and a good hint. Out caching today with Banj5150 & Shaneo58. Cache and log in good conditionSigned as DSBTFTC coongoola

A lot of caches in one day so apologies for the generic logs. Out caching w bobbiesgirl who has already done this trail however was nice enough to come with me so I could get a few smilies on my map.

Good hint. Nice and dry. Tftc

Well hung like Ned. Tftc

We are now heading north to avoid the coldest of the winter weather in Victoria. Today I was grabbing some of this series, as I meandered my way to Macksville. It was good to get of the beaten track and enjoy the back roads and grab some nice hides.

Stopped off here where the container was found after a short search, once at GZ.

Thanks coongoola for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Found with nissan65 on a day trip caching . Thankyou for your contribution to geo caching .

Found with cullum68 on a day of caching log thanks for the cache

Once I find the other 8 on the B H trail I'll be doing the Tamban trail.
The few I found today have been quick finds

Thanks again

The last week or so has been a quieter time where we have enjoyed the beach, walking and fishing but today we headed out to some of the trails out from Scotts Head where we are staying. In particular the Buffalo Trail, Tamban Trail and Fruit & Nut Trail.
It was a lovely day to be out and about, with good sized caches on the Buffalo and Tamban in general and the majority of caches being in reasonable condition despite the recent very wet weather.
The Fruit hides were at times challenging, and the Nuts often quite evil. Added to this the Fruit & Nut track had a number of mud holes, but nothing that wasn't easily passable. We were fortunate to find all of these. Quite an achievement.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache coongoola.

We were out to break some of our records today after being stuck at home for over two months, so Tamban it was. We have often driven past it up the highway, and longed to get in there and find some, today we tried them all in just over 3 hours, and enjoyed ourselves - thanks for all the work you've put in to making this great trail.
Nice and dry! TFTC!

Found today while going for our most caches in 1 day, ended up doing the Tamban trail, then continued on through the fruit and nut trail. Had an amazing time doing these series

We don't normally do cut & paste with generic logs for a day's worth of caches. However, we will for this longer series.
This series, with the Fruit & Nut series took 5 hours to complete. We covered 20km starting from #40. We had only two cars drive past us whilst on the unsealed sections during this time. We made 63 finds. We found the road to be in good condition. Of course there has been little rain in the last fortnight. There were about 5 short sections, mainly between #20 and #1, where the road got a little bumpy - you just need to drive a little slower. A large puddle near #11 looked worse than it was. It ended up being shallow and was quite firm. All the caches were found fairly quickly due to accurate coords and good hints. Thank you coongoola. The caches are also well maintained! Thanks again. Some caches were quite interesting. We'll comment on these in individual logs. We have thoroughly enjoyed doing these PTs.

nice example of tree regeneration here, I like the range of containers today too. only one eclipse tin all day so far, gotta love that. tftc

Back on the Tamban trail after a quick detour to finish fruit and nut. A systematic search soon had this one in my hands!

This trail was my inspiration to come to South West Rocks, on a few days off. My poor i30 went well in the ‘preferred’ 4wd dirt road. I really enjoyed the variety of caches, and i really enjoyed the micros, with no hint. (I see that some don’t) but I like the challenge.
I am developing an eye for the CO’s hide style, and I like it. The trail was started from 1-11 then 40-12 due to a muddy LAKE that I didn’t dare take my i30 through. (I wish I had a nice 4x4)
Cheers

Cache in good condition

A big day of caching while being based at Stuarts Point and what a pleasure it was to search and find the caches on this well maintained series. The different hides had us searching with interest at each gz. The scenery always lovely, the dirt road seldom used by other travellers. Thankyou coongoola for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area

A lovely afternoon drive through the forest collecting caches.
Saw some interesting sites along the way with a few requiring a little more searching than others.
All caches were generally good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this series for us to find.

#15008. Day 5 of a short holiday and today Robmc and I are caching around the SW Rocks area. Early on we rolled over 2 big milestones - Rob - 24 000 and me 15 000. We finished off the Tamban Series and completed the BH Fruit & Nut Trail, gathering a few others along the way for a total of 45 for the day. It was a lovely day out in the bush.

Almost finished this series now. A quick find and sign and onto the last one where we stopped for lunch as well.

Thanks coongoola

Day five of out quick trip north. BettyBoo3747 and I spent today around South West Rocks. We finished off the Tamban Trail and the Fruit an Nut trail caches, then came back into town and walked the back beach..
After a very wet night and morning, it turned into a very nice day.

I'm guessing this one is training for the next series, I do need the practice with this type of hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

found today as part of a big caching day out to try and complete the tamban trail and the BH fruit and nut trail. thanks for all the work put into these caches, as it makes for an enjoyable day

Heading north for a couple of weeks. 1st stop Fredrickton Golf Club for a couple of days to cache in the

After th morning at the beach we headed into the forest to start on the Tamban Trail.
No Cars, No People & No Noise perfect location for caching
Thanks for placing this cache

This trail was our target for the day and we had a lot of fun doing it. We enjoye the variety in the types of hides as well as The camouflages used. We found most of the caches that we looked for, let one go, but sadly we did not have enough time to complete the run today. So that will have to come another time.
Thanks go to coongoola for this series.

Found at 1:36 PM GAFF 1.
4th FTF for the day and what happened to #31?
Don't you hate it when you are staring right at the cache and you still can't recognise what it is [:o)]
Thanks coongoola.
