Quick find with helpful hint. SL as BEMI. OCW Brewmaker, Its_Dozzie and Martin Cousins. TFTC pandsa
OCW Everest High, Its_Dozzie, Brewmaker along the Cox River Road, took a bit to find and met up with the tenant as well
Found with EverestHigh, Martin Cousins, and Its_Dozzie. We decided to venture out to this trail. Signed as BM, EH, ID, and MC.Our first one and the local was quite impressed to see one so close to his home. He was a lapsed geocacher. Expect to see more on the area. Tricky one to start. TFTC
$13712 10:50OCW Martin Cousins and Brewmaker to tackle the Cox River Roads Rambling with a few additional caches on our way from and back to Sydney. We drove through some great rural landscapes. Even in cloudy weather it looked pretty. The first of the series, and the property owner (moved in only weeks ago) was not aware of a geocache on his fence. As he was a lapsed geocacher he was quite surprised and intregued.TFTC , Everest High
First of three quick finds before our first coffee break. Supervising youngest teenager on L-plate country driving practice all day. TFTC
We checked on this cache. It is at the stated location in excellent condition. The hint is good.
A nice day to go caching out this way while Sydney had a hot day. Nicely hidden, lucky you gave us a hint. TFTC pandsa
My apologies now for the repeated logs, this is after all a power trail of sorts, and as with my own, dont expect lengthy individual logs.Anything of note will be written at the end of the log.Needed some quality me time to help get my head into gear, so as the Geomissus has taken a two week interlude with the geodaughter in Victoria, I decided to take the opportunity to head out into the lesser travelled areas near the places I worked in many years ago, and also to gobble up some series I had been working on in the last few months. But on the way, also spend some extra time in my favourite location, the bush!This Power trail was actually just a warm up for my main target in Bathurst, around Peel Common, and actually only spotted this series by chance! The entire circuit was much longer than the 25-30k I anticipated, and was more like 50 by the geoAstra. What did really surprise me was the amount of traffic on the road, precisely what I was not expecting. The first few hides were tricky to pull over as they are doing a great deal of road work in that area, and a couple of others that I avoided as I was just a bit uncomfortable pulling of the road in those spots. But thats ok, had a nice visit to an area Ive not visited, but have been in the area having run 6 foot track many times!My favourite area by far was Sandy Hook, where I pulled up to have a refreshment break. No traffic there!
Went for a wander down the road, and almost was late getting dressed for the wedding. TFTC

Hoorah it was there this time and found easily. TFTC! Enjoyed a morning run from Hartley Farm to get here.
Tftc, found on the way home after mini golf in Penrith with my mini cacher & best mate
Came a few weeks ago and could not find. One second attempt, found within seconds
We have tried twice to do this one and no luck! It’s completely evading me!! Any hints / pics gratefully received as I would love to find it!!
I've had a love of the Cox's River and the western Blue Mountains area for a long time, so meandering through these back roads which hug the water courses and ridges was a perfect way to spend a morning in the Blue Mts.
Recent rains and run-off made some of these caches very hard to find as they were buried under sediment, while some of the roads were like outback 4WDriving.
Thanks for placing this series

We are on a cachey 10 day holiday, starting off with 2 nights at Emu Plains to hopefully collect the new GFA puzzle caches around Luddenham and some more of the Band caches north of Penrith. Then it’s 5 nights at Oberon to collect some of the many new & old puzzle caches that we have solved around the area, and also hoping to complete the Oberon Adventure Lab. After leaving Oberon we will be visiting Jenolan Caves, for both the caves and the Jenolan EarthCache, then heading to Katoomba for 2 nights to ride the Scenic World attractions (Railway, Cableway, & Skyway) and to do a few caches of various types plus an Adventure Lab. We will end the holiday with a stop-off at Wentworth Falls for some more caches and a couple of Adventure Labs.
Today we are travelling from Emu Plains to Oberon, with stop-offs at Medlow Bath and Blackheath for some caches and Antique Shop browsing, and will be taking the Coxs River Road route from Little Hartley to collect some of the "Coxs River Roads Rambling" cache series. This was our 7th find of the day (day 3), and 39th find of the holiday.
After falling at the first hurdle (#1), we next came to #2, and this time we had success with a nice quick find. Unfortunately the log was wet & mushy and totally unsignable, so we took a photo instead, which will be added to our log when we get back home. TNLN, then replaced as found. TFTC pandsa.

We had a lovely drive Along the Cox's River Road. Caches and stunning scenery - what more could you ask for? Thanks for showing us a new place and for the caches.
It is a beautiful day to be out caching. This is our first time along this road and it is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the caches that brought us here.
A quick and easy find on a beautiful Tuesday morning. Log and cache in good condition.

Heading west today and decided to get off the highway for a while and grab a few caches along this trail. I parked nearby and after a short search the cache was in hand.
Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Had a weekend away in Oberon with my oldest gremlinkid. Picked up this GC enroute to our airbnb. After stashing up on more lollies than we should have, we turned into Coxs River Road and picked up this GC enroute to Oberon. TFTC.
Tftc Pandsa, on our way to Katoomba, slight detour to get a few more. Thanks for this series.

Found with Chippyddd on Day 3 mission - Blue Mountains NSW caches. Lots of rain today. Hint is very useful for a sneaky hide. No room for SWAPS or drops. Both cache and logbook are dry. SL TFTC TFTH. Replaced cache as found ready for the next cacher. Thanks and cache on.
Day 3. No.8 for the day on our Geo Adventure in the awesome Blue Mountains. This was a quick park n grab alongside Geo Companion, Mystic Seer. A fairly quick find and with admin duties conducted, the cache was returned back to where it was found.
Thanks pandsa for bringing us to this location. The thunder storm was a limiting factor in preventing us from finding more of this series.

It is our last day here, and as the ladies went to high tea, we went caching, and decided on the Coxs River Road. We had a great time touring the area, picking up 25 of the Coxs, plus a few unrelated, plus a trig and a cool GA movable. We've left enough for another adventure next time we're here! Thanks for placing this series in this picturesque area.

Made a start today on this enjoyable series en route to our local accommodation. Apologies for the generic logs, except where noted, which in no way detracts from our enjoyment of the series. Most were found in good condition and TFTC and the series pandsa
Easy find. Last one for the day on a lovely day out on Coxs River Road thanks for all who placed the caches
