A quick and easy find here today. Thanks for the cache my_name_jeff_1

Find # 10306Nice quick find.Strong magnet!TFTC my_name_jeff_1 19 January 2024 16:00

For me this is one of the closest,first findable cache since I left the coast this morningThanks for the cache

Found it ... tks

After a week at home, it was time for my first rip out of town. I had always been planning on this day being a Goulburn trip, and despite the change to the event I headed off to find a handful of caches and do a bit of cleaning up at the park. I managed to find a cache I overlooked on my first visit on my way to Goulburn and then get the caches I wanted around the outskirts, before joining up with another cacher for the CITO. There was some rubbish collected and then a chat before heading off to lunch and the drive home. It is nice to see the roadwork's complete here and the cache replaced into its spot.Thanks for the cache my_name_jeff_144639.4 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & March 2021 Search and Rescue A#440**Albida**

Went for a nice sunny drive to Goulburn to get some caches, visit a local friend and have the Soldiers Club's famous lamb cutlets. Found this one before heading to meet my friend. Glad to avenge this DNF also, no road work today. Not many cars on the road in general which made for a lovely country drive to the tune of Goulburn FM. Quick find at GZ. TFTC!

I needed to head into Canberra for a work meeting, I was lucky enough to have the time to find a few caches too.

Cheers

Found! Cute little spot!

With the new WOC souvenirs starting today, I made the trip over to Goulburn to find some caches required to earn them. I ended up with six out of eight types. So, only two to go. I also found a couple of oldie (pre-2010) caches and a new D/T combo. It was a great mixture of cache finds today which included a few P&G’s and a couple of tough fishing pole cache finds. I ended the day with 22 finds and one DNF. When I arrived in Goulburn I had a pie from Trappers for B’fast and I had Hungry Jack’s for lunch. All in all, it was a great day out and I look forward to finding another trip to Goulburn in the near future to find some more caches. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring the Geocaching community enjoyment. TFTE & TFTC’s!

After a 5km walk from the Bungonia Campground to the Lookdown Lookout and back, as part of a navigation research project, followed by another 2km to find Troglodyte #3, I made my way home via Marulan and Goulburn to knock off a bunch of periodic table caches. Cache easily found. TFTC.

Messaged Rapidlywild to see when her next RDO was and suggested taking today to attend the CITO and collect some caches around the Goulburn area. She was keen so one of the FFLL team took a TOIL day as well.

Lovely day for it although a little chilly and all caches were found and we were also given prior permission to replace if any were missing. Loved the number of tree fishing caches here they are a bonus. We were joined by fitzy_1965 for the remainder of our tour around Goulburn which was helpful.

Thanks for the hide my_name_jeff_1 and thanks for a fun day out Rapidlywild and company fitzy_1965.

Received a message from FFLL#1 about 2 weeks ago asking when my next RDO was at work, oh there is a daytime event on in Goulburn today? cool, so RDO was booked. We made our way up the highway and grabbed a couple caches prior to the event. We decided to start at the northern end of Goulburn and grab whatever we could throughout the day. We were joined by DSD before the event as we made our way across the mountain collecting caches we hadn't signed and post the event, we were joined by Fitzy. It was a great day out and about, the weather was wonderful and we had a lovely time, sure beats sitting in the office.

Now we had done the CITO, it was time to continue our adventures and we had Fitzy join us for the ride. Onto the next closest and this was the target. No issues at this one, signed and replaced for next finders.

Thanks for the cache placement and maintenance my_name_jeff_1 and thanks for a super fun day out and about FFLL

Half a day of midweek caching is a luxury for me, so better make the most of it!

 Great story 

Drove a little bit further along this road to pick this one up First for the new log.
Some new road works have been happening at this corner.

Ready to be found again.

Checked on this one today. A new cache is now in place so cache on !

Hi my_name_jeff_1,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Looked on the sign. On the ground. Nope

I was happy to have another event day in Goulburn arrive. It gave me the chance to venture out a little along the way, via Tarago and Windellama for a few remote caches before heading into Goulburn for two more tree caches and then the two events. As popular as ever, a great crowd at both.

I was out and looking before I read the logs and confirmed that I was not just being blind. Hopefully the road works will be over soon and the sign can return to being ignored by everyone except cachers.

Thanks.

Believe the cache is no longer here. Some CO attention might be prudent.

Geocaching with IamCoust south east of collector all the way to Goulburn. Stopped twice by curious muggles, one with a possible shotgun in the car, as for the caches, most ok, some damp and some un-signable. A fun cold day out driving these country roads. TFTC
We stopped at GZ so it wasnt because of the road works we didnt find it.

Out for a few caches around Collector on a cool and windy day with Green-Martian. Most were found without issue but a good number of logs were damp or worse. Log signed and replaced before moving onto the next. Any details of note or interest added to the end log.

Still able to access GZ but it appears the cache is no longer there. Will need maintenance, but maybe after the major road works are completed. TNLNSL TFTC

This one is currently in the middle of roadworks.

I fear for this one?

Not sure why but no luck here this afternoon.

Found with Cosmonaut97 and Firebatman88 on our way to the event in Goulburn (14 Dec 22)

Found with silverfox1970 and firebatman88 on our way to Goulburn. We're a family of nerds and geeks and thought this trail was awesome TFTC.

Day out in Goulburn. Managed to find around 50 caches. Signed and replaced. Thanks for the quality caches around Goulburn to find. Tftc

Out for another day of caching in the Goulburn area. Caches found OK.

Thanks,

I helped with the placement of this cache so now logging my find.

Driving the long way from Sydney to Melbourne. I stopped to grab this one along the way. As I walked towards GZ (having not read the hint), I spied a likely tree and walked in a straight line towards it. As I did so, I nearly fell over a knee-high, rusty barbed-wire fence. I now have a small bruised lump on my knee. Hint: Don't go barrelling towards the tree without looking out for the hidden fence!
Thanks for the cache, my_name_jeff_1!

28,558. Logging my find now that it's been found and that the first to find has gone.

minniek and I helped the CO plan, prepare and deploy all the caches in this series. The next of many you could say

Enjoy and Sing-a-long everyone...

[Intro]
And now, ASAP Science presents:
The elements of the Periodic Table!

[Verse 1]
There's Hydrogen and Helium
Then Lithium, Beryllium
Boron, Carbon everywhere
Nitrogen all through the air
With Oxygen so you can breathe
And Fluorine for your pretty teeth
Neon to light up the signs
Sodium for salty times
Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon
Phosphorus, then Sulfur, Chlorine and Argon
Potassium, and Calcium so you'll grow strong
Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium and Chromium and Manganese

[Chorus]
This is the Periodic Table
Noble gas is stable
Halogens and Alkali react aggressively
Each period will see new outer shells
While electrons are added moving to the right

[Verse 2]
Iron is the 26th
Then Cobalt, Nickel coins you get
Copper, Zinc and Gallium
Germanium and Arsenic
Selenium and Bromine film
While Krypton helps light up your room
Rubidium and Strontium then Yttrium, Zirconium
Niobium, Molybdenum, Technetium
Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium
Silver-ware then Cadmium and Indium
Tin-cans, Antimony then Tellurium and Iodine and Xenon and then Caesium and

[Bridge]
Barium is 56 and this is where the table splits
Where Lanthanides have just begun
Lanthanum, Cerium and Praseodymium
Neodymium's next to
Promethium, then 62's
Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium and Terbium
Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium, Thulium
Ytterbium, Lutetium

[Verse 3]
Hafnium, Tantalum, Tungsten then we're on to
Rhenium, Osmium and Iridium
Platinum, Gold to make you rich 'til you grow old
Mercury to tell you when it's really cold
Thallium and Lead then Bismuth for your tummy
Polonium, Astatine would not be yummy
Radon, Francium will last a little time
Radium then Actinides at 89

[Chorus]
This is the Periodic Table
Noble gas is stable
Halogens and Alkali react aggressively
Each period will see new outer shells
While electrons are to the right

[Verse 4]
Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium
Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium
Americium, Curium, Berkelium
Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium
Mendelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium
Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium
Bohrium, Hassium then Meitnerium
Darmstadtium, Roentgenium, Copernicium
Nihonium, Flerovium
Moscovium, Livermorium
Tennessine, and Oganesson
And then we're done!
