Nice pylon!Mr. Domsky went to grab the ladder, but by the time he returned Mrs. Domsky was on top of the pylon and waiting for a pen to be passed up so that she could sign the log. Signing duties done, and then a quick return to ground level as a train went by over the nearby bridge. Thanks Team737Domsky

Dropped eldest novo off at a safe drivers course in the CBD this morning. Youngest geokid and I then took off for three hours to climb some trees. A slight vocation variation here. We have a similar hide idea down our way that we've had in mind for a while. Really got to get it off the ground ...so to speak. TFTC, lee737.#2045

#7690Ventured north with [Purplepeopleater](https://coord.info/PR4X0DC) and [bella at waggy](https://coord.info/PR5DQ4Z) lured by the Cockle Creek series. We had considered grabbing this one during our paddle, but decided to access from the road afterwards.TFTC lee737

Decided to drag the canoe all the way to Newcastle so had to make good use of it! Did the cockle creek series and a nearby adventure lab today, not sure if the weather is good enough tomorrow. Good quality made for good fun!TFTC Wilbert67

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 13179.A day of paddling with Deni_f and Banj on Cockle Creek this morning. With the tide due to hit high at 8am we made an early start at 7. With two kayaks and one stand up paddle board we covered 11.7km in 3hours 59 minutes. As the other two had already found this one I just climbed off the board and up to gz for a quick find. Thanks lee737 for the cache.

Launched the old "Yella Belly" today and as I am the Captain I picked up an unlikely crew in shanoe58 as Retriever of caches and Grub Fred as passenger (and secretary) to do this cache. Well it was a fun trip up the river with nobody falling overboard. Thanks Team737 for the cache.

Yass/Canberra trip. Day One My son and I headed off on our annual caching trip. Of late its around 7 days away. I found 13 caches today most were found for a challenge and the other was found for my 20th loop. Yippee All were found and signed. Couple were difficult to find. Day Two9 found today I was picking up a new LGA. In the end I needed to pickup the speed and less caching. The push to Yass was that the office closed at 6pm. All were found and signed. Couple were difficult to find.Day Three.My son and I were up early for day of caching. We headed to Canberra chasing a lot of challenges. I signed 31 challenges today. I will need to find which ones I qualify for. I also found three trads. One of them took awhile to find.I had a good day caching in Canberra. Day FourMy Son stayed at the caravan park today. I had organise to cache with JACS Team today. With a late message from GreenGecko1 about getting help with a very big ladder to do some hard to get to caches. So few of this morning caches Sue001 joined us. Most of the climbs were done by GreenGecko1. The rest of the day JACS team and race up and down the road finding and signing log. I signed 43 challenges and 12 other caches.It was a found day today caching.Day 5, My son and I headed to Canberra again today to sign more challenge caches. In the end it was 31 caches. Then I decided to chase virtual as I couldnt find many in SEQ. I did 10 today. Plus finish with a multi. My son and I had really good fun day. Then we headed back to Yass.Day 6,Today meet with JACS Team. We had a very big list. In the end we signed 103 today. How many can I remember not many. A few tree climb a lot on the ground. We replace a few caches. But of course we didnt have enough caches with us. We had a fun day. Day 7Back to Canberra today for an event and to find a few more caches that were still on my list. After that I headed back to Yass to pack up my tent and start heading home. I had a few on my list to get. We got to Sydney late. I found 34 caches today. Day 8 I had a small list today. So some on the caches were drop of the list. Traffic up on the Blue Mountains prove to much to get the other earthcache I needed. Next time I will get it. I found 7 today. We still had a good day. One of the things we had to do today was to get to Maitland for dinner. I needed to take my son to Korea restaurant. I tried to take him last year it was closed. He really did enjoyed it. We stop tonight in Maitland. Day 9 Homeward Bound I had a very small list today with more driving than caching. In the end I only found 4. One I needed my TOTT which worked the best with a muggle fishing not far away. Next three were tree climbs. I do like a tree climbs as long there not to high. we finally got home at 6.30 to unpack the Ute for work tomorrow.Samuel737 and lee737 thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for geocaching community enjoyment.

TFTC and a nice find with my TOTT. I was going to do this on my way home but got talking to Deni_f and missed the turn and ended up not far from here so he said we might as well get this first. A nice find and I took the TB and will pass it on.

**This Cache:**This was tough! Free climbed up to GZ fairly quickly, but for a D1 hide I struggled to locate the container! Checked all the obvious spots and nothing, so returned to the car for a torch. Used the torch and soon spotted something worth investigating, but it wasn't going to be easy! Ended up having to lie on the top of the pylon with my arm all the way down to my shoulder blade, and JUST managed to get my fingertips on the cache, phew! I am glad there wasn't something nasty down there also waiting to bite me...! Once I had the log signed I tried to replace it in an easier to retrieve spot as I assume it is meant to be. But maybe an animal (I hope not) or a big gust of wind? or something could still push it further.... hmmm, hopefully not! TFTC Team737, good fun---**Today:**Visiting Newcastle this weekend to tackle a wide variety of physically challenging and creatively crafted Team737 hides! Big Grin Huge thanks Team737 for inviting myself and GHHH and showing us the "ropes", quite literally, of Technical Tree Climbing and Abseiling! One of the best caching weekends I have had and will always be a highlight memory! The expertise and gear you guys have is just incredible and I was so honoured to learn these new skills from you! Appreciate your kindness, patience and company during this adventure packed weekend! Until next time..!

TFTCA ladder would have been a lot easier, but I got the job done, in the end.A FP for my climb!

I'd been planning a trip north with my ladder to do this cache and the Strangler one in Lambton, but when the new Numberphilic 7 was published yesterday I had extra incentive and headed off first thing this morning.

On my way to the cache I was pulled over for an RBT, the first time that's happened in years. After getting the all clear from the nice policeman, I made it to GZ without any further hassles and parked just south of the pylons. The road seemed a lot busier than I was expecting so I was glad I'd brought my muggle invisibilty cloak to wear while up the ladder. It worked, too, as no-one pulled over to ask me what I was doing!

I quickly spotted the cache right where I was expecting it to be from the Streetview photos I'd looked at beforehand, so with the log signed, the cache rehidden and a photo taken, it was back to the car with the ladder, once there was a break in the traffic.

Many thanks and an FP for this enjoyable hide in an historic spot.

A really fun cache. Thanks for the cache Team737 tnln replaced as found sl

Noticed that this popped up thought it was so funny as we were here only a week or two ago climbing on gz thinking it would be a great spot to place a geo but we have been beaten to it hahaha, we signed the log, added a sticker and swapped an item TFTF

Parked nearby and made the climb with my sister and Dad. SNG made the find. Sorry I took so long to log it! TNLN TFTC

[FTF]. Up early this morning to grab another FTF.No TOTT was needed in the making of this FTF. 30 yrs ago, I lived in the house 50m away from GZ. TFTC TEAM737.

Parked on the southwest side and walked up to GZ with CC and SNG. Gave SNG a boost and she climbed, looking at the wrong pylon first because it looked easier to access and we didn’t read the hint! Rookie mistake!

A few minutes later we made the find but please be careful not to get tangled in the bushes and lose your balance.

Funnily enough I’ve looked at this exact spot multiple times for several reasons. It was initially going to be the final of a kayaking multi I mapped out years ago and never published! Then it was going to a puzzle in the bigger boat series, and then a trad, and then a SIN challenge. Maybe I should just get off my bum and publish instead of thinking of what it could be!

TNLN TFTC FP for a fun one!

A lovely misty morning. Bit cool. Passed a few fishermen on the walk here. Thanks for this great cache. No TOTT needed but a scramble otherwise.

Find #1517
We arrived to see a local fisherman. He quickly moved on. Tried to climb up but was a bit out of my range. Back to the car for a TOTT and then quickly found the cache. This fills a hole in our 366 day challenge and our 4x4 grid. Only a 4/4 to go. TFTC
A favourite from us
