An enjoyable long weekend caching with friends around the Southern Tablelands.Quick find in a beautiful location. TFTC tandm86!
A cool and fun day of caching around the Southern Tablelands.This cache was a straightforward find in the obvious location. Container and log in good condition.Thanks!
Reperio 14:58Day 6 of our NSW south eastern caching tour, and Master Vitruvius and I today travelled from just outside of the ACT to home in Orange. With a number of caches left to do around Murrumbateman and Yass, we stopped by a few in this area before taking an extended route back home to Orange. Our final day was another fantastic day of caching, with very few caches that went unfound.Gratias tandm86As a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV
Day 15 of my interstate trip. Today I left Grenfell and continued to head closer to Sydney. Tonight I stayed in the Mount York Campground unfortunately it was dark when I arrived so had to wait till morning to see how nice the views from this spot. I managed to find 19 caches today and ended up with 3 DNF's today.Nice quick one as I came in to Cowra.TFTC tandm86
Find# 11366We had a preconceived idea that it would be attached to the structure a Nd was totally wrong lol.We are in town for business. However, we have a free day to create some "Smileys".TFTC tandm86 10 June 2024
In the area with woolwood9 today. Weather caused some frustration with rain off and on again today.*We managed to get the container found here!* SL *tm/ww NZ*Thanks for the reason to stop and I appreciate the effort in setting up these caches!
Over in the area heading for Canberra to attend the Easter Mega with tmann421Tons of caches done while here and this was one of them.Enjoyed the touring around and all the containers foundLog signed tm/ww NZThanks for the placement and the effort put into maintaining these hides for us to find.
Respect.The trip bit.Easter geocaching festival of twenty twenty four. This time it is the turn of Oz Mega GeoBash MEGA event in the nation's capital. It is time for a road trip across country to Canberra in the Sporty Pajero Sports. Freddo and Gridge98 traveling from Adelaide via a strange inland route that takes in scenic rural locations, dusty roads, punctured tyres, overheating batteries, various tools of the trade, special campgrounds, and lots scope for many many geocaching finds. Along the way we saw running emus, jumping kangaroos, wandering deer, dead foxes, herds of wooly sheep and stray steers.Arriving in Canberra we met our colleagues e.gregory1, featherwaite, team walron, courtney rose, davidwazza, e_smilie, and georode, signing as ABP, plus a huge group of other like minded excited mega geocachers attending event after event, and more events.Day one. Adelaide to Broken HillDay two. Broken Hill to WellingtonDay three. Wellington to CowraDay four. Cowra to BathurstDay five. Bathurst to CanberraDay six. Canberra to CanberraDay seven. Canberra to QueenbeeyanDay eight. Canberra to AdelaideThe generic bit.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.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. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

A quick find here, cache is all goodHeaded over to the Capital GeoBash in Canberra, ACT with Freddo over 5 days, travelling through the central part of NSW before caching around the hinterlands. A nice few days over with great weather.Thanks for the cache
A resident spent most of the time watching our suspicious activity so hoped it would be a quick find. Alas, we found nothing.
Tftc tandm86, out and about around Cowra today Plenty of new caches since we were last here
Almost grounded. A bit tricky to extract. Nice day to cycle around Cowra b4 the rain.
The second day of our geo adventure holiday, after camping down by the river at Darby Falls, we set off to explore the Cowra region as it is somewhere we have never ventured and with lots of history to explore
Well, this holiday is all about taking the time to see some of the amazing gems that you find while geocaching
Nice easy find but the log was to wet to sign

I think you said it all in your description. A beautiful memorial to those who sacrificed and nice to have a cache here. Thanks.
What a great place to put a cache. No one seemed to be around so it was easy to retrieve and sign. Many thanks tandm86.
Cowra trip Winter 2023 Day 1. I have been watching the growing number of caches in and around Cowra so I felt it was time to head out there and see how I could go trying to find them. The Canberra weather was pretty dreary, but it got nicer the further west I went. The caching was a bit up and down, I was happy to find some rally difficult caches, but then failed to find others. Late on the first day there was a huge storm downpour, so I was happy to be able to retreat into a hotel room for the night and have a great dinner downstairs in the front bar.
This was a nice quick drive by.
Thanks for the cache tandm86

Bathurst to Cowra. Staying at the showground.
It started with a very rainy day but at we neard Carcoar the weather started to clear. So we didn't do any of the caches we had planned to do along the road.
The other incident that happened in front of us, was a cow falling form the top of a cattle truck. Awfull to see such an injured animal.
There were so many new caches here, since we last visited.
Cowra is certainly an interesting town, this showed in the amazing locations that we found caches around town
A quick find on our way home.
Thankyou to all the CO's for placing these caches.

We decided that it was time to go on a day trip to Cowra to look for some of the new caches that had popped up in the area since we were last there. Texted Rapidlywild to see if she was interested in joining us on for the journey. It was a pretty cold day with the winds but thankfully no rain which was a bonus. No DNF's for us today which was a great and all caches were found pretty quickly and we managed to get all of the caches we targeted with a couple of labs thrown in for good measure.
Quick find at this one signed and on our way to the next one.
Thanks for the hide tandm86 and thanks for a good day out Rapidlywild.

The FFLL ladies had decided they wanted to go on a little tiki tour around Cowra and reached out with an invite, yes please It was a cold day however the rain held off and we were able to achieve our target area and managed to clean up again for a while. We completed 2 labs and a heap of trads and assorted caches which included an unexpected FTF.
A nice easy find here, signed and replaced as found.
Thanks for the hides tandm86 And thanks to the FFLL ladies for a fun day out and about around Cowra [^].

Fitzy_1965 and I decided to head to Cowra for the weekend. We had a late sleep in then hit the road.
As it has been a few years since we were last here, there has been a nice number of new caches in the area. Fitzy had kept himself busy by doing all the puzzling before headed out. Always good to find a Joshwa27 cache or two along with caches by others along the way.
We had a fun couple of days and found a nice camp spot for our second night in using the van instead of our tent. Definitely warmer than Bathurst last weekend.
All caches were found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned. Many thanks to the CO’s.

28,223. Found with minniek during a fun weekend run up to Cowra.
Over many years of caching runs around and through Cowra I have come to really enjoy this town with some amazing history. We had previously - after many visits - finally 'cleaned out' Cowra, so it was fantastic to see many new caches by Joshwa27 and tandm86 (plus some others) appearing everywhere. So much so that we decided on a last minute run up this way this weekend. A post lunchtime departure from Goulburn led to a mid afternoon arrival in Cowra where we knocked off about 16 caches. This was the next one. Quick find at GZ. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed to the next one on our list.
Thanks tandm86 !!

**This Cache:**
Yet another brand new cache, cool!
I was able to park within maybe 50cm of this cache?? i could almost reach it from sitting in my car! A quick park and grab and my LAST cache of this trip. I proceeded to drive straight home after this!
Thanks!

**Today:**
Day 20...... the FINAL day of my Townsville Mega road trip!
After an excellent sleep at the Mendooran Free Camp, I was excited to be on the last leg to Canberra more than anything else! Although I still got a little bit distracted by caching of course, and managed to pick up 12 more caches along the way!
Still managed to get home early afternoon, my shortest day of the whole trip for a much needed rest! All I had to do now is start logging several hundred caches.... phew!
It was an excellent trip, thanks to all the CO's from today
