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. Found the previous finders pen at GZ which is always a clue!Thanks!

Tftc, Lou and Paul from the Blue Mountains NSW. Travelling with Savannah. Cache in good order.

Reperio 15:56Day 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

Find# 11348Nice easy find, however retrieval took quite a while.We had to remove half a dozen rocks and three sticks before we could eject the cache through the bottom. We have replaced the cache at the bottom to alleviate the need for dropping rocks and sticks through the hidey place.We are in town for business. However, we have a free day to create some "Smileys".TFTC tandm86 10 June 2024

Found it but was not able to retrieve/reach it from where it was hidden

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.

*In Cowra 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!*No problems here.

We replaced this cache from the resources of the Pajero.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.

Replaced the cache hereHeaded 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

We are on our way to the Capital Geobash Canberra 2024. Rain and tents arent ideal bedmates so we hotfooted it to Cowra. Weve been here a few days caching and organising for Canberra. Today we are trying to get as many traditionals as we can as we need only 26 more for a challenge cache in Canberra.Sadly DNFThanks tandm86 for placing and maintaining this cache.

Looked everywhere at GZ and nowhere to be found. Could have been muggled?

Not many places it could be, but DNF for us

No one around so we parked right by the cache and after a short search we had it. TFTC

We had time to have a good look for this one and it was found by eliminating the impossible. TFTC

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

Cowra trip Winter 2023 Day 2. 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 really difficult caches, but then failed to find others. The second day was a time to visit the War cemetery and the POW camp. I have not been as far into either as much before. I managed to find all but one of the caches I tried today. I had an uneventful drive home and it got wetter as I went. I wonder where I will go next ?

There was a sporting event getting under way on the field over the road, but no one was up by the skate park and I was able to locate this one quickly and move on.

Thanks for the cache tandm86

#20971. Day 3 of a short holiday over the border in NSW with Robmc and the geodoggies. Spent the night in Cowra on the banks of the river (in the caravan park) and awoke to a frosty morning that soon turned into a glorious Autumn day. Plenty of caching around town, scenery to admire and Cowra's war history to immerse ourselves in, walks to be had and cycle paths that will encourage us to bring the bikes on our next visit.

A lolt of good parks around town. Went to look at the skate area before making our way to GZ for a quick find before we continued on our way.

Thanks tandm86

Day three on our short trip north to find some better weather. BettyBoo3747, the geodoggies and I are heading to Cowra and back. Today we are caching around Cowra!.

The skate park was empty when we came past today.
A nice hide though.
Thanks, Robmc.

Nice dry log with waterproof paper. Quick find on a wet day.

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
Thankyou to all the CO's for placing these caches.

A quick find,the log is very wet.TFTC

Worried here again with a recent dnf,but it could really only be one place.TFTC

Too good for me

Stayed Corowa for two nights and Finding your cache tandm86, thank you so much for placing it.

Clever hide. Had to be careful not to push it further in. TFTC

A short walk down from the road and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC

Found quickly but needed a tool to get I get it in hand. TFTC

Great hide

Arrived here this morning just as the kids from the local school were turning up for some basketball practice just opposite, so we have to leave and come back later. Now later, no one around and managed to find it. TFTC

Very fun and easy to find!

Found on a day trip to Cowra. Go Cowra woohoo

Signed DSD. Thanks for the cache and the adventure.

Adventure boys!

Quick find in the first place looked at

Quickly found, in a quiet area. Thanks for the cache

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 here, signed and off to the next.

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. Think the hardest part of this one was finding the appropriate entry.

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.

28,224. 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 - found after a Pub Bistro meal. Quick find at GZ. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed back to our camp ground.

Thanks tandm86 !!

!

A quick late night stop on my way to Cowra for a Parkrun tomorrow. Easy find, nice container

with hint found quickly but Tricky to extract log.

heading back home from my trip to Orange.

thanks

Parked at gz. Quickly found. Signed and replaced. Tftc

Quick find, but tricky to retrieve. TFTC tandm86.

**This Cache:**

I am glad this wasn't too close to the skatepark, as there was someone using it!
I was also happy to be able to park within about 1 metre from GZ! Apart from the single person in the skatepark it was very very quiet here today, nobody else around. So I was able to locate the cache and sign the log whilst blocking the road before anyone else came past

Thanks tandm86! Great to be the first person to find this sneaky hide!

**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
