The shorter member of the team went to look for this cache but when it could not be located, the taller member went. The cache was ;located quite quickly by feel, not by sight. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks blacktownman for the cache.

We were in town for Gil Under the Gums for the night and catching up with family. Afeter a fun night, a feed from the local Lions Club, some top music for most the night would have finished with the fireworks. Not us we had caches to do.Once the crowd had gome and the SES packed up their display we were able to locate this one quicy. With the log signed and cache replaced we wished the remaining SES members a good night and went to fing the adventure lab that starts right next to were we are able to get a parking spot when we arrived.TFTC

I'm on my way to Brisbane to housesit for my sister for a couple of weeks and to spend some time with my mother. Instead of heading straight up the Pacific Highway, as I usually do, I'm making my way there via the Castlereagh and Newell Highways this time. A straightforward find here while doing the AL in town. Thanks for the hide blacktownman.

Staying the night in a local van park while making our way home. Dropped by this one to attempt to grab all the local cache. 2 out of 3 done. Great to see the Neptune sign. But must say mars is my favourite solar system planet. Cache in good condition. Thanks for the find.

A cache on Neptune, now I need to find a cache on Pluto. Tftc

Quick find. TFTC.

Found during a road trip around Central NSW. I'm glad I stumbled upon this Virtual Solar System Drive while I was planning the trip. Visiting each of the planets gave the long drive between destinations a bit of purpose and broke things up into manageable chunks. Thanks For The Cache!

Good I've seen this kind of cammo before. Easy find. TFTC

On our long trek from Darwin, we stopped here for lunch and a comfort break. Bonus quick cache find. TFTC.

Even got some information on the Warrambungles from the Information Centre.Time to move on today as we head to the Warrambungles, caching on our way. Virtuals, puzzles, Earthcaches and some trads on an at times wet day, but not as cold as we have experienced in some recent times.It was an interesting day's travel with a variety of caches and some good things to see.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache blacktownman.**SKI Pair****

Day 2 of my tour of Central NSW. Hoping to chase some LGAs and other points of interest. Started the caching day in a little place called Stuart town out of Orange, then wandered around the Wellington points of interest. On to Dubbo before heading to Gilgandra for some family catchups. This cache was a quick find now that I know the style. Tftc

Quick find. Nice to complete the set in Gilgamesh as we got the other ones in this town 5 years ago. TFTH

Awesome cache, took me a while lol

Very wet. Dried it.signed it. Put in new plastic bag. .THRTC

Reperio 15:14Day 5 of our tour of Tamworth/Armidale caching trip, and today, Master Vitruvius and I were able to focus on more of the caches closer to the Tamworth area, and then progressively head home to Orange. This one didnt take long to find once we were at GZ.Gratias blacktownmanAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

We never knew Neptune had a free overnight camp... The offer was too good to pass up after a long drive so we pulled in to be Neptune's closest neighbour for the night. No need to hunt for the cache, we've got these planet hides. TFTC blacktownman.

New log good to go

Found today heading south. Log very wet dried out as best I could, do not have a spare with me. Many thanks for the cache.

Great one! TFTC blacktownman!

Sneaky little find, thanks

Found it, great hiding spot

Quick park and grab when going past. TFTC

Last time we travelled along this planetary route there was no cache trail. Making it our business to collect the ones we can stop for. Last time we came through we saw the Warrumbungles for the first time and learnt that this is the astrology centre of Australia. This time we came to spend time doing just those things - the NP and the Dark Sky Park. Love the idea of the virtual tour boards, and the sneaky hides they hold.

A quick find with Black Bunny while we were passing.Thanks for another cache blacktownman

Out for a drive with Just a cacher and decided we needed to have a break so dropped in to grab this one.Thanks for another cache blacktownman

Driving from Parkes to Coonabarabran, trying to pick up a few along the way!

A great place to stop, TFTC

Another planet ticked off the list. Tftc!

The Adelaide Leap Day Mega and Canberra Geobash gave me a great excuse for a road trip. This trip has shown me so many new and interesting places as Ive chased LGAs, oldies, challenges, interesting D/T combinations, rarer cache types and favourites.Meeting up with friends old and new along the way, we sometimes cached with them and sometimes alone but always had a great time. Thanks to the CO for placing and maintaining this cache and adding to our enjoyment.

Tftc Blacktown man, we are heading back to QLD after spending some time in SA.This series of caches helped break up today's journey.Thanks

Returning home from a rushed road trip to QLD, we have been stopping for the occasional cache which encourages a break from driving and hopefully a bit of a walk or history lesson. This was one of the caches that we enjoyed today before a relaxing lunch nearby.Thanks blacktownman for the cache placement.

It's been a long drive to get here today, but I'm so happy to easily find it. TFTC

A loose plan was hatched for a 3-week road trip with RoamingHowie to explore locations in Country NSW wed not been to before and of course, find a cache here and there.DAY TWELVE: Last minute decision to head north, to the Warrumbungle National Park to check out the Dark Sky, via Gilgandra and Tooraweenah.We are inadvertently finding a few planets along the way too.

QOGM 2023 Longreach Day 32. Traveling Lightning Ridge to Wellington via Walgett, Gilgandra and Dubbo. Fitzy_1965 and Albida33 are on our trip in early spring to Longreach. The journey home is well under way. We had a quiet day caching, but there were stops in Walgett and Gilgandra for LABs. Things were busy in Wellington, but we found a camp site and headed out for the last two puzzles in the area before finding an open pub on this public holiday afternoon. Dinner was cooked at camp before a early night to try and do some logging.It is great to have a cache here again. I am glad we were tall enough to deal with it.Thanks for the cache blacktownman44607.1 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & Death A#109**Albida**

TFTC, all good here

Nice easy find tftc

Found over the road from the motel we spent last night in. Great park here and the start of my education about the Cooee walk. This series of caches is a great concept and I’m looking forward to finding more of them.

Heading to Longreach for the last QOGM with Team Crackers, Geoturtle37 and Papi4506.We stopped along the way to pick up a few caches and signed the log as PDGC.(Papi Drovers Geoturtle Crackers) or The Drovers.Thanks to all the Co's for making this trip, more enjoyable. Signed and replaced as found.

Travelling with Geoturtle37, Papi4506 and the Drovers, our aim is to attend QOGM and then head for the northern tip of this great country.With this many eyes, it shouldn't have taken anywhere near this long to find. Thankfully, Team Crackers made the find in a place that we had already all looked.Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

Catching up with late logs from our trip in SeptemberWe are heading up to Longreach for the last QOGM with The Drover, Geoturtle37 and Papi4506 naturally stopping to grab any caches that come on the map aiming to get as many LGA's as we can.This is another that we have lost our notes for but we can remember that we enjoyed doing this seriesTo save room in the log we signed PDGC (Papi Drove Geoturtle Crackers)Thanks for the cache

Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

Nice quick find thank you.
