(11 of 14 today - including 3 Adventure Labs)I'm after a single find for my calendar today, but I feel like a cache splurge! So I headed north for a plethora of placements in our premier pinot production place.Started later than I'd have liked as I needed to get some reserved seats for the Sydney Test - brave given their recent performance, but...It's warm today, but not the blistering heat predicted for the next few days.Started with a DNF, then stuffed up two access points - well I had the right one, but ignored it - but after that everything went well.All up I made 14 finds, and there are still plenty up here to grab in the future!###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###Just gotta love hides like these. And I do.Outer container had a little water in it but inner was good.Added my name to the scroll of the victorious and repalced.Gets a favourite for the execution.SLTNLNTFTC
# 1722 Found today with nellc. Came this way this afternoon for a bit of caching. After a walk through the bush at gz, the search started, I hate nano in the bush they are so small and hard to spot, so I was surprised to find this one so easily. The inside of the cache was wet, and the o ring is not stopping the moisture from getting into the log, but we were able to sign it okay.
Another fantastic cache from kingfisher, I was looking for something a bit smaller. Cache was quite wet inside but we managed to sign the log and replace the cache back in it's spot.
#7757On an overnight Hunter Valley escape with harveyt2079. After sampling some more local produce, we again ventured toward Branxton for more caching fun. This was our third and another impressive container (or two).TFTC kingfisher_au
Thats the biggest 3D print if seen before Pool of water inside Damp log inside of second 3D print container
Another great cache! Wasnt expecting that log book! I give you a favourite point. Added some swag to the cache after signing the log. Hopefully you can tell I signed it. Pencil doesnt do well in the rain. Tftc Kingfisher!!
I did find this one but the barbed wire caught in my beanie twice, fortunately leaving my scalp intact. Thanks for the walk and a good hide in the bush.
Our last find for the day and what a cache to finish on. Well done Keiran. Not what I was expecting.Fav pointTotal Caches Found 16156TFTC
1. new design after someone belted the old one with a stick and took a large chunk out of it, now the Nano with a handle, also upgraded decor to match the surrounds
The circle game to the Nth!Fortunately the rain held off and we could enjoy the bushwalk and the clever cache.Thanks kingfisher au
Found with MummyPenny. The challenge with these excellent hides is to not rune out of FPs. This definitely gets one. Quite a bit of water inside and the massive log roll is a little damp too, both for no obvious reason. Closed with just enough pressure on the seals so hope it's all ok. Thanks kingfisher_au.
Found, with shaneo58, We came up to Branxton to attempt all the new caches placed since we've been here last. A quick find , a bit hard to move initially as it was more than half full of water, it's been nibbled at by wildlife. Inner container also wet, so log is expanded making it non removable. Signed log and Cache replaced as found.**Thanks For The Cache** kingfisher_au.This makes the 5th cache of 10 for today making a grand total of 4383 at 11:00AM on this Friday the 3rd of May in the Year 2024
Up in the Branxton area with BillHill531 cleaning up a few caches I didn't get last time. Good to get a Nano and be able to get the log sheet out easy. A pity it is wet. A little maintenance needed TFTC Kingfisher_au
Well, this is one of the coolest cache containers I've ever seen. I really appreciate the effort that has gone into it. It was quite wet inside, but the inner nano was quite dry from what I recall. I found the camo nearby and placed it on top. The cache could use an hour or so in the sun. TFTC. yet another fave point given for this series.
Another day of rain making it hard to cache but armed with rain jackets we set off to once more explore the area with the local caches.We wanted to do these caches yesterday but the weather was crap but unfortunately today is no better so wearing a newly purchased raincoat we decided to return and brave the elements anyway.The male Triton worked his way around this mini series now with the rain letting up for a short time.Another fun themed cache that we appreciated finding today. We just knew it was well worth coming back here. Thanks kingfisher_au for the micro placement, another favourite added.
removed water and placed a new style upgrade for the log, will reprint the outer layer when time permits
We had to make a trip to Dubbo, but we made a spare half day to go caching in the Branxton area.There has been many new caches placed since we were last here, taking us to some interesting locations while touring the area.Now camped at Jerrys Plains overnight.This cache was half full of water, emptied it out Log book was still O'KThanks kingfisher_au for hiding this cache.
I was getting a bit worried about searching for a nano in the bush...but it was a bit easier than I thought it would be. Original log has got wet, but it seems someone else has put a fresh log in. TFTC
Continued our walk with ilook4geo and found this unexpected container. With the wild wind lately its camo had been blown, but this was replaced after signing the log and putting everything back. Thank you to kingfisher_au for a better than expected bush nano.
Just picking up the last couple of caches in this group, together with goingplaces2. No problem in spotting it. Managed to get the lid open and signed the more miniature of the two logs. TFTC.
Tftc kingfisher , great bush surrounding this rest area to walk around. Made ever better by having such fun caches here.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHHAAHAHA!. Magic. And the log as well HAHAHAHA. One little downer is there is water inside. Tried to dry it out as best as i could. Log was a little damp. TFTC. 14 favs from 19 finds.......

I wondered why this cache would have so many likes already but knowing Kingfisher I knew there had to be a catch. Cache is in great condition however the log was a bit damp. I dried it out as best as I could but it was wet. Still a favourite point from us

And what a nano it was!!! Just as well it’s not magnetic - all I’m saying…. Absolutely loved it & the log! Another fav from me.
Today we headed off from Cessnock on a mission to tick off 3 more LGA's.
Your cache was in the target zone and one we found along the way.
This was a great series kingfisher_au as each cache was different as they had their own challenges. We were pleased to see the effort that was put into this series and adding to our favourites.
Many thaks to all CO's for placing caches and allowing us to complete our task.
We travelled nearly 600klms and enjoyed our day exploring these areas.

Definitely an unusual place to be wandering around, but gotta say I found it rather pleasant and a nice easy walk. I arrived at GZ and smiled once I found it. Another classic kingfisher cache. TFTC
Out caching with Sneaky Ninja Girl and Classic Cache.
Ha ha ha this is way better than my nano in the bush. FP from me.

TFTC and the “tiny” haha nano. Loved it. A favourite from me. It was fun finding the caches with Garbageman and his family.
Today is the sixth day of the Sims_family/Dromaniax big road trip to Queensland and back again.We are towing a very big trailer, which was chockers, but when you have a mission, someone else is paying for the fuel, and there is the opportunity for nine days of caching fresh fields, you jump at the chance.We have a long list of target caches and hope to cross quite a few goals off the list on this trip.We were heading back south now, and the Trailer was significantly lighter.We had noticed a cluster of prospective [FTF] caches the previous night and had them on watch. When we were within 45mins of the cluster, they started to be found. We wondered if we could make it to nab an elusive interstate FTF.As we pulled into the rest area, we met darth trader and exchanged pathtags. We then made our way to GZ with our TOTT and met greenbowtie11. It was lovely to meet two great local cachers and share the FTF of this awesome cache. Thank you for this excellent Traditional cache kingfisher_au. A favourite Point from us for our second NSW FTF.
Ok, a clear favourite here.
A great design and build and laughs had.
Thanks for hiding quality geocaches, kingfisher_au.
Joint FTF with Sims Family, Dromaniax and Greenbowtie11
