Xenoliths on a hill North Cowra, New South Wales, Australia
By Freddo on 04-Apr-24. Waypoint GCANZHR

What a lovely day to be out and about. We enjoyed our walk around the rocks and had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. We even learned something! Many thanks Freddo.

It is a lovely spring day and we are escaping the madness called "The Race" in Bathurst. We enjoyed our stroll around the paths and the great views over Cowra. Many thanks Freddo for the cache and the experience.

With the Dream Team we did a visit to many caches including this EarthCache. The team sent in the answer via mountainsbeyond after we had fun articulating the answers. A fun and informative EarthCache that we all enjoyed. TFTEC Freddo.

More to come!

A cool and fun day of caching around the Central Tablelands.The cherry blossom festival made things busy approaching GZ, but once there we admired the views, examined the rocks and sent our answers the CO who quickly came back with the OK to log.Weve had lots of fun exploring Cowra. Thanks, Prof Freddo!

Fun with friends caching in and around the Southern Tablelands. A bit of a chellenge with so many people up for the festival. TFTC

Not a big hill to climb up but the views are certainly worth it. Also was able to complete a mystery cache whilst being in the area. TFTC.

An impressive collection of xenoliths - much more than usual in granite. Nice view too. Answers sent. FP for pointing it out. TftEC

Team Crackers, The Drovers, Geoturtle37 and I are making our way to do a group assault on Bathurst and the surrounds. We can't stop at every cache or we will never get there but we are attempting to find as many as we have time for.This was a great location that you brought us to. Thanks to Team Crackers for sending the answers and thanks to the CO for placing this cache for all to enjoy.

Found on our way home from a stop over in Bathurst for the night. Cowra looks like a pretty nice town. Clear blue skies to boot! TFTC

School holiday road trip through NSW and lo and behold a Freddo EC! Most holidays we head to SA and do your ECs so I had to chuckle today! Answers have been sent. Pity we cant say the view was good though as it was just a mass of fog - see selfie! Thanks for the geology lesson!

Day 15 of my interstate trip. Today I left Grenfell and continued to head closer to Sydney. Tonight I stayed in the Mount York Campground unfortunately it was dark when I arrived so had to wait till morning to see how nice the views from this spot. I managed to find 19 caches today and ended up with 3 DNF's today.Great spot well worth a visit.TFTC Freddo

Find# 11368Great Earthcache!We give this cache a favourite point. We are in town for business. However, we have a free day to create some "Smileys".We have sent our answers to CO.TFT Earthcache Prof Freddo 10 June 2024

Interesting features here to explore. Before reading about xenoliths, I would not have known why the rocks had marks on them.

Lovely view and awesome geology lesson for the geokid non-dancers on Eisteddfod weekend! TFTC

On a trip with the CO when this idea came about that an earth cache would be placed at this geological location, make sure you lick the rocks.TFTE

Traveling to Bathurst with Team Crackers, Geoturtle37 & Papi4506.We stopped at this earthcache along the way.Answers were discussed and sent in via Team Crackers for all teams.Permission was granted to log.Many thanks for bringing us to this location, Freddo.

We are traveling with Geoturtle 37, Papi4506 & The Drovers to do an assault on Bathurst and are picking up a few caches along the way.We were in town when we spotted this one and as we all love earth caches it got a place on the list. Once we got to gz we were really impressed with the scenery as well as the earth science that was around here.We collected the information that we required and hopefully we understand enough about Xenoliths to have all our answers correct.We have sent them off to the cache owner on behalf of all of us to save bombarding the CO with the same answers.Many thanks Prof Freddo for placing this cache in a very scenic area.

We are on a ten-day road trip from Sydney around the Central West. Were staying in Cowra for a few days. Drove up to this great viewpoint and admired the view - of both the surrounding countryside and the spotty rocks! Have sent our responses to the CO. TFTEC Cheers Gaztek

Reperio 09:59 {FTF}With the prospects of a new earthcache in the area from the Professor himself, we headed out to take a look at it, and see what we could find. We took in the views at GZ before wandering around the various boulders and recording our observations. A very enjoyable earthcache for the whole family.Answers sent to the CO.
