Think the pub staff may have found it and thrown it out The cache is nowhere to be seen

Here for a shower before I go skiing. It was getting dark, but I could still see the sign which revealed the box. TFTC

Thanks for the free middy but maybe next time ..

After setting up the motorhome out the back and a delicious lunch, we came out to look for the local caches. This was quite a few meters away from GZ by our GPS but we finally found it. Definitely a fav point from us. TFTC

Quick find on our road trip home from NSW to Victoria! TFTC!!

After camping here one night I saw that there is a Cache hidden at the pub. After a bit of reading and a short search I could sign the logbook Cache Nr. 154 gefunden am 31 May 2024 - Vielen Dank an Smokie5054 frs legen und pflegen!

Found by Jessticulate on a long weekend adventure. Apologies to the people who arrived while we were logging the find. We left TBs to continue on their way. TFTC

Nice place to stop and pick up a cache on the way home. TFTC

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Our first visit to ACT in that time.Moving today from Canberra to Bredbo. We stopped at Historic Michelago Railway Station for a looksee. Once arrived at Bredbo we unhitched the caravan so we could explore the local area. Ahh yes a nicely placed cache. Definitely worthy of a FP. Looking forward to our dinner here tonight.TFTC Smokie5054

Out walking with GreenGecko1, Baristayan & Buckoraider seeking some great D/Ts and with a couple of tree climbing aficionados Im confident that today is a great day to cache.Great location with fabulous history.

Muggle65 and l met up with buckoraider and Baristayan. We piled into one car, grabbed some snacks and headed off for some caching. Thank you for a fun cache Nice hide and in perfect order!

Had a look last night after our lovely dinner at the pub.... Was at GZ but to dark to seeWas camping out the back for the night so had a look in the morning and there it was right were I thought TFTC

Found with a clue from a past log.

cool thanks

Cooma to BraidwoodStopped for a couple of caches along the road where suitable with a caravan on.A nice way to visit the town & area is by following the geocaching trailHad to PAF for help. A hide that was simple enough that we missedHere before opening hours .FP givenThanks Smokie5054 for hiding this cache.

An interesting read here. TFTC

1/4/2024 Find #6957Day four in Canberra for KBreeAHH, Captain Terror and I. Today was our second biggest day of caching, not having really pushed it too hard this trip. As we were driving along I was having a quick browse of the map and noticed this one. Well we just had to make it a stop - KezzBear will be jealous for sure!We parked up and wandered over aware of a local sitting out front nearby who seemed a little quizzical of newcomers. But we headed over to GZ and checked out the information and made our find before grabbing a couple of pics. Of course one should never let Captain Terror use your phone to take photos of you and a friend - ever the clown!Thanks for the cache Smokie5054.

Find 10 - On the Road to Canberra for Capital Geobash 2024. Clever hide, took a bit to find GZ as there were many muggles enjoying the warm weather and a cold bevy. Thanks Smokie5054 for setting up and maintaining this cache.PS: The Troll Dolls [TN6TR0] were with me on my great caching adventures this morning.

Headed back toward Canberra for the mega and needed to stretch my legs. This was a good stop for a cache. Its a nice day for a road trip. Thanks for the cache!

Passing by on our way to Canberra, we stopped off and located this cache. It was a bit early in the morning to imbibe, so we passed up on the offer of a free beer. Nobody else here at this time either.Thanks for the clever hide, Smokie5054

Heading to Canberra with ConnieandRick for the mega and this was our last stop prior to arriving. Nice hide, had us tricked for a while. We were on a tight time schedule so had to pass up the generous offer. FP.

Last stop on our long journey tiday to Canberra with Wombatwandering, a great hide.

On a road trip to attend Capital Geobash Mega and see many different sights along the way with 2beez.A nice day to visit here and sit under the verandah.

TFTC found with Crack n Lee Lee on the way to the mega event in Canberra

Are the title of the year Geocacher immediately when I go to do. Thanks for the fun!

Simple but clever .had a marvellous free stay at the back of the inn...slept very well after a long drive, now time to get to Canberra to cache prior to the Mega.

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. Ll

An impromptu road trip to the snowies allowed me to stop along the way to grab a plethora of caches.This was one of many finds I made for the trip.Thankfully I had the outside to myself and was soon able to locate the cache.TFTC

Found on the way home from The Mile High Event at Tantangara Mountain. Took a couple of minutes to find this one, previous logs helped to narrow it down. Great hide at a nice location. It was quiet here at 4pm on a Sunday. TNLNSL. TFTC Smokie5054!

Had it in my hand after finding the right sign from the past Did an Overnight stopover behind the inn on our way to Jindabyne

Tftc

We had Billie the wonder dog as extra cover for retrieval and return. Cool cache, tftc!

Tftc. Nice quick find.

I had an audience from my companions, so with a stroke of good luck, my hand went straight to this! Now that's how it should be done! Very nice hide.Out for a short road trip with Tankengine and dty73 to Cooma. With cache maintenance as the priority, it also proved a lovely way to escape the heat being so much cooler! We visited the Cooma railway museum which was quite interesting to explore. Talking with the manager, they have great vision and are doing their best to protect the railway history, as they have with the lovely old railway building. I have great memories of travelling railway as a child. There's something about rail I do enjoy and look forward to!We did of course find a few caches, find a few hidden points of interest, and enjoyed a nice lunch. Stopping at the Christmas barn in Bredbo a first, also worth a stop!Thanks for the cache!

Too clever for us.

Find#5565Nice hiding place Thanks for the cache

TFTC. TFBMH.

Baristayan hauled this one in fairly quickly once she’d honed in on ground zero. Great hide!

Quiet Saturday morning in Bredbo up this end of town, but the pie shop was pumping as always. Thanks!

Great hide!
It had everything a great cache has: awesome story, clues, clever hide and a trackable!
Favourite for me

Stopped here on our trip to Cooma. [@trodectus](https://coord.info/PR8JTE0) suggested this one and we eventually found after searching for a bit being careful of nearby Muggles. Log signed and returned. TFTC

Found with Coybear2000. We drove from Canberra to Cooma and stopped in Bredbo to visit the Christmas Barn. After spending the afternoon in Cooma, visiting the rail museum, having lunch and a wander around the town, we stopped again in Bredbo and tried for this cache. We were wary of a family of muggles who kept returning to a car parked nearby. After some minutes we looked in the correct spot and had CIH. Log stamped and we left a trackable, before replacing the cache once the muggles had left the area again. Then we drove back to Canberra. TFTC.

Tftc

Great hiding spot. I put all the clues together to find it.

After a visit to the Christmas Barn it was time to find the two nearby caches before continuing our trip to Canberra.
This was a sneaky find about 4 meters away from posted GZ.
TFTC

First day of our geo adventure holiday, ticking off places we drive past on our way somewhere, but never just stopping to explore
Well, this holiday is all about taking the time to see some of the amazing gems that you find while geocaching

Found on way home to VIC TFTC

Rapid fly-by

Quick stop on way home after an amazing lunch at miss Heidi’s Austrian tea house

Found with Winster_Finds

Very cool cache. Drove down to the Bredbo Pie shop for lunch and found it on the way back. Found with TheLeafyCauldron. Tftc!

Poked about with no muggles around and there it was, a sign of the past. Thanks

Couldn't not stop for this one on our way from.Canberra to Cooma.
Fantastic hide!

Nice quick find while visiting this interesting spot

Found it pretty easily

Settled in for a pie and a ginger beer on the way to Cooma and tried to subtly survey the options. After not too long made the find - great hide! Always good to read up on the history of places I visit. TFTC and an FP from me.

Introduced to Bredbo Man from Snowy River geocache when having dinner at the pub. Daughter had fun finding it & signing book

Found it. Took a while. TFTC

After getting muggled out on our way to Jindy the other day we stopped on our way home. No one about but we took awhile. Finally C8 found it in a great and apt hiding spot. Have a FP. TFTC

Found on way home from the snowy.. kutgw

A cache trip to the mountains for a big hike around blue lake triggered by some events in Jindi. A number of caches planned for the drive down and some more for the way back (if I have the stemina for those).
———————————————————
This cache: An awesome hide. I think I was only lucky to find it quite quickly being observant of some old log picture. A ver nice spot for a cache and a FAVpoint from me.


Thank you Smokie5054 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Found It!
Interesting bit of history. No one else around here today so after a search of the area I found the well hidden cache!
TFTC

Clever hide, Thanks for the cache.

On my way to Kosciusko for the weekend. Long drive today so only a few quick picks along the way.

Day #1 [14-2] of 5 for my trip away. Today, I headed down to my overnight pit stop in Cooma before heading into Merimbula tomorrow. Yes of course, I am going to Geocache the whole way there and back apart from visiting the beach. The caches I found today were mostly quick and easy finds with a couple of DNF’s or NA’s due to factors like: road quality, unable to find them or I was starting to run out of time to get to Cooma. The focus for the finds were caches that fitted into one (or more) of the following categories: For a self-imposed challenge, historic cache (pre-2010), a quick park and grab along the way or part of the Kelly Road Powertrail. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to finish this trail due to the road conditions but I did manage the start couple plus the last one of it. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today for allowing them to bring me and the caching community enjoyment. TFTC’s
P.S. Sorry, about the generic logs. I will endeavour to edit them at some point in the future for the extended story. This is when I have more time on my hands.

Shame the pub isn't open!

Hint: front camera

Pressed by mistake ️

Fun

Took us a fair bit to get it but we found it

A straightforward find here today, thanks!

It was a hard one to find but it was fun

Gracie and Daisy found the box at bredbo!

Found this one on the way home from Cooma, TFTC

Nice pub in a cute town and found pretty quickly TFTC

Nice quick find for us today. Popped in for a beer after too. Tftc

Didn’t have our geocaching brain for 5 mins as we had a lovely lunch at the Inn. But eventually regrouped and soon had cache in hand TFTC it’s a lovely pub.

Initially gps wanted us to head back into the pub, where I'd had a Very good pie and pint for lunch. Then the wife after reading the activities made a quick find.
Nice location had us thinking where could it be for a few minutes. Now off to find a couple of other local caches
Thanks for the cache

Update: Matthew the publican has added a commemorative memorial to the three American aircrew of Bomber 134 (C130 air tanker) that crashed near Peak View on this day two years ago.

Heading home from the mega, we decided to take the scenic route.  TFTC

Quick find with SJG66 on the way home from attending the Wang Mega Event. TFTC.

Find # 7271
That was a good search with happy ending. Not the happy ending that some might expect. Free beer is always going to get a favourite point.
We took in the history of Bredo while we were here.

Well shame they aren't open on a NY Day will come back next time I'm in the area

Stopped here for the night. Shame it wasn't open. I was looking forward to a pub feed and beer. I also wanted to wander in and say "Its all goin' on around 'ere now ain't it". I went to high school with a few of the locals. One of them living in/near Bredbo was often heard saying that phrase when he'd show up to somewhere a small crowd has gathered. I thought it had a lot of character and 30 years on I can still be caught saying it myself every once in a while.

Loved the hiding spot.

Shame we don't drink beer Thanks!!!

Neat hidey hole

Tftc Smokie, pub closed at 10am, have to collect a free beer another day.

Finally!!! We stopped and managed to get this very special cache. Well worth favourite. Yftc

Haha this was hilarious the guy was kinda confused at the start but after we explained he understood

We couldn't find it today. The barmen even tried to help he didn't know geocaching even existed in Australia, he thought it was only an American thing. Pies were delicious though. TFTC

Very hidden thx for the muddy voucher
