GZ is a pile of sawn logs and sawdust!

Found It!Well I found a cache, but it only had 2 names in the logbook so I suspect there is more than one container here? I had search around but couldn't find anything else.TFTC

Well it was Canberra Geobash Mega time and after spending 6 fun filled but very tiring days up there on the Mega site and also around the ACT area it is time to start heading home.Canberra put on some fantastic weather for us and there was plenty of things to see and do over all of the days that I was there.I dont think that I even scratched the surface on all of the caches on offer.After leaving Canberra nice and early yesterday to do a CITO and then to Wagga Wagga to do the PUB series I eventually made it to Culcairn for the night.Up nice and early again this morning with the aim of getting to Beechworth for the night but there is still a bit to do between here and there.Continuing along the dirt road and this one did not want to reveal its self straight away.I will blame tiredness, lack of sleep, lack of coffee or just plain cache blindness.I eventually added my name to the log.Thanks Leovgeorge TFTC.

Out and about today exploring the area with Geodogs. Staying at the Caravan park for a couple of days. This was a tricky one, but persistence paid off. All good here. Now onto the next one for the day. TFTC

On our way back from Kapooka, decided to grab a few on the way home.Spent 15-20min looking, cache not found.Looking at previous logs has need maintenance for awhile.

Last finder mentioned snakes, so stamped my feet upon approach, LOL!, on my way back home to Sydney

Look up, blends in so well. Watch out for snakes, brown spotted. Needs new log & new waterproof container.

Found it. The log book is mushy so couldn't sign the pulp. Thanks for the hide.

Doing some caches around Walla/Culcairn today with the family, with some time to kill before dinner at the in-laws.

Cap and log were missing here, replaced log and have tried to position so it wont get wet. TFTC!

Started my journey to the mega in Rutherglen. With stops in moss Vale, Yass and Wagga Wagga most Kilometers are done today. A chilly start of the day, but weather is good.

Accompanying All7 and TFTC

Shared the find here with goingplaces2. No problems with the cache and signing duties were done. TFTC.

We were sitting at home thinking hmmm what do we do this evening? TV or geocache….
This was a great quick find! Don’t know if it was the dusk hour that helped with the spotting of this cache?? We also really enjoyed the sight of two owls sitting on the road!
Thank you for the cache!

Out for some caching with the three girls on a beautiful Saturday morning!! This one took a while to spot, but the sneaky little thing was eventually located. Tftc

Accio 12:44:23
A lovely sunny day for a change, and managed to be outside for it. Lovely drive up the Olympic Hwy and back caching. Took a fair while to find this one - my coords were out by about 5m for me, and it's well camo'd. Glad there were no leaves on the trees today.
Thanks Leovgeorge for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #9505}*

First one on our geocaching weekend.. Helenoftroy

Staying in Holbrook for the week with the Halfway square dance weekend coming up. Decided to go for an afternoon drive to Culcairn and pick up a few caches along the way. This one was not seen by us today.

Returning from our "unplanned alternative to the QLD mega" holiday in the New England area, we made it to Wagga Wagga last night, and picked up some caches on our way to Albury today. After a few minutes, this cache was spotted and our name was in the log. Nice quiet back road you have taken us on. TFTC Leovgeorge.

A quick find once we were in the right spot. TFTC.

Good find.

Ver clever hide

Tried this one at the end of the day out caching. Looked for a while before becoming too tired and hungry and decided to try again another day

Headed out to find some cache some cache and see some sights from some modern wonders of the world.

This little adventure brought us to Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, a tomb built well before our time like 350 BC or something. Looks a little different now than back them, they did build a master piece back then though.

The cache was in good condition but was not an easy find. We have been here before and search for some time, it was the same again this time only we had extra eyes, again it began to rain while we were looking, it came and it went but we did not want to give up. Yahoo was the call from [@AngusnMummy](http://coord.info/PRRD6GG) when she eventually found it.

We discovered it, put our John Hancock on it, we replaced it, then made our way back to the Geomobile, now it has been logged.

Thanks Leovgeorge for this cache, Lil Donna

Headed out with LilDonna to find some cache some cache and see some sights from some modern wonders of the world.

The cache was in good condition and was an easy find. Thanks for bringing me to this amazing place.

Thanks for this cache, Sorry for the late log, AngusnMummy

A quick find,TFTC

When l tried this as catnap777 there was too many leaves to see anything. So l am glad my partner and l came out today when the leaves had fallen. Tftc Leovgeorge. Cache found in good condition

Am glad to put a yellow face here

Tftc nice quite find thanks

Got lucky by coming at it from the right angle. TFTC

Found it. Goodhide. TFTC

Tftc leovgeorge, found after a bit of poking around. Enjoyed your hides today

One day I will be able to go for a drive and find some caches… and that day was TODAY!!! With the announcement that today some of the restrictions are lifting, I took the opportunity to go and find some caches… the only question was where. I decided on taking a look at the caches south of Henty. I didn’t find as many as I wanted because some of the roads are closed to public assess. However, it was so great to be able to destress and take a look further afield to other places in our great country. I made 7 finds plus on my way home I stopped off at BMG’s home to have a bit of a catch up. A great day out and when I got home I found lots of locationless caches. TFTC’s

No luck here today, only hair pulled by twigs

Finished the day caching. Love the creative and sneaky ones. Tftc

I found this while travelling down to Albury for a speedway meeting. Tftc.

I targeted this cache in particular since it would fill in a gap in our Ausmer chart however this was vey nearly a DNF! After reading the hint I spent waaay too long searching at what seemed like a likely location since I can't usually trust my iPhone GPS under trees. After a while, and after reading a few past logs, I tried again in a few other spots and I was just about to concede defeat when I looked up one more time and Bingo! It's hard to search in trees when you're busy watching the ground for snakes

Thanks for find #1547
TNLN

Tftc quick park and grab

Cords must be out or its not here

No luck

Suscoe headed out early today to explore the area up around Culcairn.
We had heard that there were some interesting caches to find.
The day was going to be warm and the car temperature got to 33 degrees as we wandered the roads of this area.
Skies were blue, a bit of wind to go with that and generally quiet roads to navigate.

Thanks to Leovgeorge for this hide, thankfully a quick find for us.
Oh how happy we were.

second go at this one with a bit more time. Didn't take long and we had it. Cache OK

Not sure a 5m discrepancy in coords when looking for a nano in the bush is ok.

Needed a lunch break so had to leave this one for another time

Good hide

A bit tricky and very well hidden but found it in the end

My daughter and I set ourselves a time-limit here today and unfortunately we were unsuccessful with our search.
We will have another go soon enough.
Cheers Leovgeorge.

Found at 11:05 AM GAFF3.
Well that took way too much longer than it should have for a D of 2.0. One of the main problems was that the GPSr kept moving us around and then we fell into one of the big traps that we have been trying to avoid for 15 years! We don't like to look at hints, because in a lot of cases they are meaningless, or just wrong. In this case it was the latter which put us 14 metres from GZ and we spent way too long in that area .
Thanks anyway Leovgeorge - we were pleased to have found it as a traveller and conquered the Culcairn Treety [^]
Feedback: Given the ratio of Finds to No Finds and how long it has taken most cachers who found the cache to actually find the cache - this cache should be rated at least a D of 3.0. Also the hint needs to be altered slightly about being in the middle of things.

Very pleased to turn this DNF into a smiley face on this second attempt this year. It was easily discovered by torchlight and SL at 5.35pm. Well disguised and not where we were searching last time. Well done Leovgeorge. #6292 - now we really must stop caching and head home to our nice warm house in Victoria.

Thanks

Hint makes it harder. It not really being in the centre of the bushy section. And being short I almost couldn’t get the log out but got their in the end just before I gave up

1st dnf for the day heading to town for food!

This one was too tedious for us as it was getting late in the arvo, a micro amongst a forest of understorey!! After 10 minutes we gave up and continued homeward.

A very clever hide. TFTC

Heading out of town now after a great day out with Coruze, and we pulled up here and Dad and Rinn jumped out for a look....
And look they did, all over the place for a fair while, even going for the hint, which didn't help young Rinny as she isn't as tall as dad..
But finally the cache was spotted and we signed our lives away, ticky camo that one.

Ahh yes, this one, took a while but got it in the end. Middle is subjective it seems...

Managed to find this one and was very lucky to do so! After a while of looking, looking, looking, I happened to look down and there was the cache! I put it back according to the hint.

We enjoyed a day of caching from Culcairn thru' Morven & Gerogery to Walla Walla & return. It felt as if every DR and TR was covered at some point, so many creative, sneaky or just plain bold hides. Dedicated CO's have placed for geocachers to find or sometimes walk away from in frustration.
We haven't seen this method of cammo before, it is certainly effective.

Thanks to 'Leovgeorge' for placing and maintaining this cache.

It must have been too early in our caching day, because no matter how hard we looked, this one would not show itself. Time to continue our journey to Wagga, but we will be back another day to search again.

Quick find today with jackez74, enjoying this series of caches some sneaky hides TFTC

A quick and easy find with Bucrog52. TFTC

Anothre DNF by The Marathon Man and pnutbeagle on our 3-month Australia holiday after travelling from snowy and cold Northern Ontario Canada.

We just could not see it.

Last stop for the day. Searched high and low for this one but couldn’t find it. Will return another day to find it.

Treety yeah !!
Treety now ?? [:o]
No !!

This cache stubbornly refused to show itself for a good 20 minutes
I wasn't giving up though !!
Me stubborn streak was showing

The cache *had* to be there.
Previous comments said the coords were good [^]
And I was getting a free acupuncture treatment from the trees [:o)]

I eventually found this pesky little cache.
I must have been standing under it for a good 10 minutes during me searching !!

TFTC.

One of 6 local cachers for the morning out and about now the weather is a bit cooler
Thanks for the cache Leovgeorge

A cooler day during the summer heatwave saw us going for a drive. The gps had us very close to gz which was good and there is plenty of hiding spots. The cache was found by the tallest of the two of us. Log signed and we headed down the road. TFTC

Quick grab while night caching with t_s5. Came at this from the right angle and saw it straight away. Could have easily been here for ages - was our lucky night! Tftc Leovgeorge

An after dinner drive with wackyweedos to the outskirts of Walla Walla for a ftf, we decided to take a detour to find a couple more caches in Culcairn before the sun had set completely.. i had attempted this one previously but with no luck, tonight however the wackyweedos discovered it by looking from a different angle.. log signed and returned as found

Collected three on a pleasant drive after lunch. A great hide! SL TFTC

To many creepy crawlies, so we will leave it for today.

Hi there Leovgeorge.

Today was a drive around. Culcairn and environs. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the area. It really rained hard yesterday, but the ground has dried out considerably. Even though there has been some bad weather all the cache containers were dry inside. The ones where the outer container is made of wood gave us some trouble though - the wood is damp and has swollen, making the container difficult to open. We don't think we have awarded so many favourite points in one day as we did today.

All up we found 22 caches & DNF'd 2 in this cache run. Thanks for placing the caches. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 5m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

After braving the crowds in both Albury and Lavington to do the Christmas shopping, I was given an afternoon off and why not spend it caching. I headed north to place 3 planned (and 1 unplanned) caches around the north west parts of Greater Hume Shire. I left the geohound at home because of the heat (plus he had a friend visiting) and I drove to a few recently placed caches in the Walbundrie, Henty and Culcairn areas. With the temperature hovering between 36 and 38 degrees on the car thermometer, I spent most of the time in the air conditioning and just did short walks to the caches. The heat kept the flies (and snakes) away so it was a pleasant afternoon where I located 10 of the 11 caches I was looking for (the DNF may be there but I realised I was being watched!). Thanks to the cache hiders - good to see a few new cachers hiding in this part of the world!
Thankfully this one wasn't a climb. Read the hint and headed in, but it wasn't until I looked at the size that I clicked on what to look for and the cache was soon located. Last one for today - will be back to finish the rest in Culcairn - TFTC

There was a new series that had come out up around the Culcain area, so it was time to head out and grab them with OZREG. While the day started out with stormy rain and wind, it turned out to be a nice day, just perfect for caching up in this area.
Took the opportunity to also grab anything else we came across, along the way. We had one DNF's and made some good discoveries and clever hides during the day, while we had some fun and laughs along the way.

We almost had a DNF on this one but after a second look the sneaky little sucker was located so we could sign the log.

Thanks Leovgeorge for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Happy Feet 1 and I departed Wodonga at 7:30AM amid the Thunder, Lightning, Wind, and Rain. Thinking, isn't this nice as we watched locals endeavoring to erect their Gazebos etc for the mornings market. As it turned out, the weather turned out rather pleasant for the day. As pleasant as the company we shared. Culcairn was the target for the day and resulted in approximately 20 cache finds for the day.
Some caches innovative and some challenging. One DNF for a cache that got frustrating after 2 periods of lengthy searches. We thank ALL cache owners for their time and effort in placement of said caches

Found it Another great little find

Murray River December 2018. I headed away with Fitzy_1965 for a weekend caching towards the Murray River near Corowa. We targeted a few series and as many DNFs from previous trips as possible. We did of course generate even more this time, but overall had a great time despite a sharp thunderstorm on Sunday morning.

Thanks.
