It's Elementary # 09 Cullerin, New South Wales, Australia
By my_name_jeff_1 on 31-Jan-24. Waypoint GCAK3HT

Knowing we were going to be passing by here today on our trip to Violet Town, I thought I might have a go at some of these Elementary# LBH puzzles last week as I like LBHs and I like puzzles. This one will be handy for our upcoming 15th loop of the fizz. Nice area to stretch the legs before setting in on the big leg of our drive. TFTC, my_name_jeff_1.#2033

A long day of caching on some of the older Australian roads. Great day. TFTC

Always nice to bag some more caches in the Elements series. This one was a straightforward solve and find today, thanks my_name_jeff_1!

A wet cold day around this region today however running in and out of cars soon had us warming up. Fun drive with a bit of history around to enjoy despite the inclement weather. Quick find. TFTC My_name_jeff_1

Out with Tankengine and Dty73 following the wind turbine line. Quick find. Kutgw

Chooo ooo [Found] with dty73 and youban! Thanks my_name_jeff_1!

Found with Youban and Tankengine on a lovely day out and about in the Goulburn area for a bit of a difference. This cache: Quick find thankfully. Time was running out. I had a geodaughter to pick up from school soon. Tftc!!!

For my last day off of my annual leave, I decided to head to Goulburn for the CITO. Of course I went and found other caches that have been on the to-find-list for far too long. I found 25 caches today which all had various different cache types, containers, hides and D/T ratings. I started off finding the caches along Lerida Rd before heading into Goulburn for a few more caches and of course the CITO. The CITO was great fun as well. I also enjoyed the catch up with everyone and spending a bit of time finding a few caches together. Most were easy finds but a few were a difficult to get in hand plus I also had one DNF. I enjoyed my day out and now time to head home. TB visit on all found caches. A big thanks to the CO for adding this cache to game for the Geocaching community to enjoy. TFTE & TFTCs!

Headed out this morning with ilookgeo, but not early as the ground was rather frosty and crisp. All the caches along this road were easily spotted and retrieved. Both names were soon added to the log here. It was a nice easy find. Thanks go to my_name_jeff_1 for placing this cache.

Went for a short drive today with goingplaces2 and picked up some caches along the way. Had no trouble making the finds. Saw lots of sheep and kangaroos along the way. TFTC.

GT37 and I had a great week of caching with Team Crackers and The Drovers in and around the Bathurst area. On the way back, we decided to do some more of the numerous caches around this area. We attempted mainly caches that we had solved although we did do some others after taking the wrong road.GT37 solved these a couple of nights ago so we looked for, and found, any that we came across. Coords were great and all finds in good condition. Thanks for placing this series for all to enjoy.

I was with the CO on placement so now logging as a find.

Taking the long way back to Canberra tonight, and having solved this during the week, it was a quick find at GZ. Thanks for the cache my_name_jeff_1

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Staying a week or so in Yass, today we headed out for a drive in the countryside. What fantastic weather for another fun day caching. Loved the history shared through Geocaching in Gunning.TFTC my_name_jeff_1

It's not often I get the opportunity to get to a GGGT, so when I was free to actually get up the highway to get there, #94 and #95 just happen to be my first. Better late than never! With KittyKatch, Contesta, LuckyL10n and Albida, we set off in the afternoon with some letterbox caching along the way. The afternoon of caches went very quickly, and a 'one last cache' that had us the wrong side of the tracks, or the right side really for the barriers to stop us and wait for the train to pass and keep passing... it was a longer train than expected, and a bit of fun watching it wondering when it would even end! We arrived at the CITO to be greeted by a very large group. Where it was good to catch up, although not too cold, it was nice to head inside into the warmth. It was a great evening of good company and conversation - and the lamb cutlets were definitely as good as I have been hearing about! I'm glad I've finally managed to get there and looking forward to trying to get back to another. Thanks for the cache!

Find # 12080Keen to attend as many of the mid-week Goulburn events as I can and so I was glad to join KittyKatch, albida33, LuckyL10, and aquillis for a spot of caching along the way.Today we were targeting some letterboxes and a challenge. Short days with fewer daylight hours means less time for caching but we did well. We even took experience a rural rail crossing in action with a very very long train keeping us waiting to cross the tracks to get back onto the highway.All caches located, retrieved, signed, and replaced.Thanks my_name_jeff_1 for It's Elementary # 09 and this nice little series

Goulburn event tripFound with albida33, Lucky L10n, Contesta and Aquillus1 on another adventure out to rural NSW. Fun times and lots to chat about along the way. Thanks for the hide my_name_jeff_1

#19547 - 5:31:00 PM; Received an invitation to join albida33 for a caching run to Goulburn to attend a CITO and a catchup event for tea with our newlywed cachers afterwards. The plan was to collect some newer LBH caches which were not far from the major roads to our destination, along with a couple of others along the same stretch. We were joined by Kittykatch who performed driving duties with Contesta and Aquilus1 following behind. All up we managed 11 caches prior to the two events once we reached Goulburn. All were found in good condition and returned as found after the logs were signed. TFTC my_name_jeff_1

With lots of amazing events and activities over the past two months, it has been quite some time since an afternoon outing to Goulburn for dinner. This situation was rectified today and plans were made for some late afternoon caching before joining in for the pre-dinner CITO in Belmore Pk. I joined Kitty Katch, Aquillus, Contesta and LuckyL10n to tackle the newish series of Elementary puzzles, west of Goulburn. We had no trouble finding them, even if some of them had creeped from there advertised locations. As we went for the required just one more, not only had it become dark, but we had to wait for a train to get back on the highway, all very exciting.

After a busy few days in Canberra for the Capital Geo Bash mega event, I spent a night in Goulburn before slowly making my way back home to Adelaide. I have been targeting solved puzzles caches and any high Difficulty or Terrain caches. In the morning I tackled this Its Elementary trail which were solved without too much trouble. All were found without problems. A good mix of Terrain levels here too which was good fun. I teamed up with Granny Smith who I met out in the field. Thank you my_name_jeff_1, for placing It's Elementary # 09 for the geocaching community.# # #14691 # #

A weekend of caching, labing, laughter, fun, and adventure with my great mates The Rats and Steeba. Just want I needed! A weekend like this is good for the soul.We headed from Wollongong to the Canberra Mega, via many caches and Labs along the way. We had a 48 hour early Easter window of opportunity that we needed to exploit!As always the banter was excellent, and the caching secondary to that. We found a lot of excellent caches, and this boiler plate log should not detract from them in any way.Thank you to all of the cache hiders, and the event committee.Cheers

A quick find here, cache is all goodHeaded 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

Quick find here.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.

Reperio 09:08Travelled towards Canberra today with my Miss Vitruvius for the upcoming Capital GeoBashMega event, and we spent the majority of the day chasing geocaching series and power trails. We managed to replace a few containers and logs in different places, but for most of things, the caches were found in good condition.

DSD mentioned that he was planning to grab some new letterbox caches up near Goulburn sometime "before sunrise".I couldn't let him go alone, but didn't finish work until 11:15pm! I always have plenty of energy after late night shifts however, so agreed to a spontaneous night time adventure! We left Canberra at 11:40pm and didn't return until 3:30am! We managed to get 12 caches in total though, as we decided to find the rest of the caches along the same trail as the ones that had come out! Three of these had blank logs, and two we were beaten by a Goulburn local! Thanks my_name_jeff_1!

Woohoo..! [FTF] sometime between 1am and 3am. Loci and I made the trip up and collected 3three FTFs plus two 2TF and a bunch of other caches. Signed dsd, thans for the cache and the Adventure.
