Very pleased to find after 4 recent DNFs. Found with Lead n Lace.Cache is in good condition. TFTCP.S. just found the original Nana too, looking like a bolt on the ground.. LOL

Nice one!

Nice hide

Great train

A lazy day touring around Peterborough and the backstreets admiring a few kangaroos Lizards and Goats on our travles searching for these hidden boxes and the nasty (Blow up the factory) Nano's.All caches were in good condition unless stated otherwise.We had seen this one was disabled by the reviewer so while we were in town we offered to replace it if needed for the owner. A reply came quickly that they were happy for us to do just that.Hide is replaced with the same type and placed as per the hint.Thanks for the cache froghoppinFind Number 10813

Cache needs attention

Unfortunately not today.

I spent 30 minutes going over every surface and under and it escapes meThanks for your cache

Dnf today

Had a good look but to no avail. Reading previous logs we should have found easy but not today

Thoroughly looked all over, read the hints and comments, and still couldn't find it.

We looked all over both of them before I decided to climb it and have a closer look all around the train. I got to pull the leveler and ring the bell.

Awesome! Heading to QLD from WA picking up a few LGAs on the way. Thanks COs for placing and maintaining late log

Thanks, found it

Found it easy

Found it on the piston

Quick start to the day to get all 10, TFTC

Cute train. Thanks for the cache.

A good hint gave us a quick start to the train caches. The trains are great... some of the caches, not so easy. TFTC froghoppin.

Quick find, tight log

Nano with blue band inside

TFTC Nice easy cache exactly where the hint indicated.

Thanks for the hint. An unlikely find otherwise.

On a cache mtce run and found this one still in place, replaced log whilst here cheers

We're on our way back to Melbourne after spending a week in the Flinders Ranges and are picking up some caches along the way.A quick find thanks to the hint, but yes, needs a new log. We took a pic instead. TFTC

The best thing about going on the occasional work field trip is that you can do some caching when you finish for the day. Another cache done after dinner by torch light. Another nano??? Gee they're popular around these towns! Anyways - found quite quickly thanks to the clue and logged. TNLN. Cheers.

Needs a new log, so I took a photo great spot, thanks.

TFTC but as my fellow cacher said needs a new log!

Amazing train model. TFTC

Find#5949Nice hiding place What a epic road trip through Victoria and NSW on our way to Whyalla South Australia Thanks for the cache

Day 4 of the road trip. Still brought to you by goats and emus. Lots of birds to dodge today too. Almost at the final destination, a bit of a scenic tour to grab a few extra counties on the way.This was a pleasantly easy find. Only one spot left in the log - sorry I don't carry ones that small.

Love these trains. tftc

Nice spot, now know what piston housing for a train looks likeTFTC

Another cache another train . And so many Galahs

Found by The Empire + HLeaving the picturesque city of Port Augusta, we embarked on a road trip that promised both adventure and a touch of treasure hunting. Our destination was Murray Bridge, a journey that would take us through various local government areas (LGAs) in South Australia. Along the way, we were on a mission to find some easy geocaches in LGAs we hadn't explored yet.The drive was a mix of anticipation and exploration. As we cruised down the highway, the landscape transitioned from coastal plains to rolling hills, with the Flinders Ranges in the rearview mirror. The diverse beauty of South Australia never ceased to amaze us. Thanks for the cache froghoppin.- M@empiregeocaching

Thanks grea monument

Stopped for a magnum and found this . Great model. Tftc from nz

Tftc quick park and grab. What a wonderful replica

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. Based in Peterborough, we are exploring some of the surrounding area. We made a quick find on this chilly morning. Thanks froghoppin.

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. Basing ourselves in Peterborough for a few days to grab finds in the surrounds. Thanks for the hide.

Joined FelixII & sylken for a spot of caching in the area.

Have been saving these caches for a rainy day challenge. Just glad it was a warm sunny day.
Nice quick find with multiple sets of eyes.

Come visit SA’s longest running annual event - keep the weekend free - 7th - 10th June 2024 Can’t wait!!

Full time Nomads since March 2014.

Having been in Perth to visit family our stay has come to an end and we are on our way to Broken Hill for the Mundi Mundi Bash.

Stopping in Jamestown to catch up with Sylken. This morning we joined with them to attempt a new cache and try to convert some . Bumping into Chrispy was a bonus. We continued along in 3 cars, then 2 cars then it was just us caching our way back to Jamestown.

Fun Sunny day to be out and about.

TFTC These train memorials are a fitting welcome to the entrances of the town. Well done to the community of Peterborough.

While staying in Jamestown we enjoyed today caching in Peterborough and Yongala. Peterborough seems to be ‘Nano Central’ and as these types of hides are definitely our nemesis, and not our favourites we weren’t surprised to end up with a few DNF’s….even with comprehensive hints

Thank goodness for the hint. A fair bit of traffic. The train is certainly a labour of love. TFTC

Very nice model. Found with tassie expat while exploring this interesting area, we'd both have loved to have been here in it's heyday. Thanks for putting a cache here.

Hop aboard the Carrieton Express, another top model, thanks froghoppin for this series tftc

This is a very cute little train. I am sure a lot of kids would like
it in their backyard.
Found quickly.
Thanks again froghoppin

Broken Hill to Peterborough
While towing the caravan we stopped along the highway where it is safe to pull over.
Once we had dropped our caravan at the camping ground we did a tour of this railway town & it's many nanno's. This was a good way to visit the town
Thanks for placing the cache.

Quick find thankyou

I how we love nanos but to my surprise it only took one lap and the cache was in hand, thanks for placing this cache

After spending another morning 4WDriving , lunching in town and checking out Steamtown, it was time to catch up on some of the caches that had been put out since our last visit .
Staying in theme after our railway visit, it was great to see the whole set of entrance way trains today [^].
TNLNSL.
Thanks again Froghoppin.

Bloody nanos.

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Quick find. Tftc

We are on the road travelling up through central Australian and down the coast of WA. Geocaching has taken us to so many great places in this beautiful country. I was happy to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

Enjoyed poking around this lovely little town and some lovely old buildings and trains. At GZ we made a quick find before stepping back in time and checking out the museum.

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

new log book

We are sure we found this one 3 years ago but must have forgotten to log it. Log book is full.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Very well hidden, so thank goodness there was a hint, and for the geo-mirror that fitted in the space. Log is full. I squeezed in GW. TFTC froghoppin.

Quick find while in the area

My history with nanos is not a positive one, so finding this second hop aboard in a very short time was a bit exciting, thanks to the hint. Logbook was full so Bear049 took photo of log to show find.

Log book full. Took photo of evidence of find.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Getting a little damp, so this was a quick grab and sign. Thanks froghoppin

A great replica of the origional. Set amongst a beautiful stand of trees, it is an excellent hide. Many thanks for bringing us here.
