Sandy Track Baradine, New South Wales, Australia
By mocca on 04-Apr-04. Waypoint GCJ380

The original cache has gone missing and there is now excessive traffic at this location (trail biking etc).

Regards, mocca

We were there on Saturday, but couldn't find it.
The area seemed to have been recently disturbed by trail-bikes.

Thanks

Found it! Restored our faith in our Caching abilities after a few failures...
Took Panda, left a Bloodstone crystal from Crystal Kingdom.

The tracks are sandy so dont fluff around when driving them. Kids had some fun here. Took shells left Panda. TFTC

Found on a nice sunny afternoon with Wombat_1 a very easy walk to the GZ with no cactus problems
SL made swaps TFTC
Happy Hunting

Found today on the way back to camp at Coonabarabran with Team Gnome after walking the track and looking at the magnificent 'Sculptures in the Scrub'...

Nice easy find but mostly managed to avoid the farmers friends and the cactus.

Loved this cache and Brindabine.Looked at the bird chart and then saw the National parks centre sign. Went there and found out about the weekend they are organising at the end of September.
Hope to return and do a guided Aboriginal tour. Also to see the Art work.
Thanks Acko

In Coona for a few days to visit our son who works up on the hill (Siding Springs). Our last cache before going home tomorrow.
Drove in on the sandy track to GZ. Prickle heaven!! Saw the bones of past cachers forgotten. TN. Left halfpenny. Thanks for the fun Mocca.

Nice fine thanks but I had to skirt around a big puddle and got covered in the sticky seeds! A memorable cache. TNLN SL TFTC

Well named cache ...drove to 10mts in the kardycampervan and got covered in spiky grass seed pods.

Well, we were camped at Camp Cypress with the Australian CamperTrailer Group for a week before we could find time to venture out and find this one! And then it was after we packed up and were on our way
What a great little town Baradine is - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here & to be able to top it off with a nice little cache was excellent.

Quick find in an interesting town tftc took bookmark and coins left a keyring and bracelet cache nice and dry glad I didn't drive down this track

A quick drive by on our way to Pilliga Bore for the night. TFTC

Found with JellyC55, Terry-Jay & Grumpy cow on our way to Pillaga Bore. Jellyc55 Took something . Good hide mocca. TFTC

After escaping the floods whilst camping in Queensland we decided to head to this area after studying the weather forecast. Fortunately the long drive paid off and we were blessed with clear blue skies & sunshine during our stay here. We found a beautiful camping spot at Rocky Mill Creek with not a soul around and there was so much wildlife to see. This was our first of several caches we found in the area.

A good little spot for birding. TN left some shells from home

What a nice tiny little town. We almost had one of the cars get bogged in the sand... almost.
Cheers.

Drove all but within a few meters of GZ. Whilst we signed the log one of our muggle friends did his best to get bogged in the nearby sand.

Cheers!

Came here via Pilliga so UAV is a rusty red colour. Quite a few muggles have found cache. Looks popular with the dirt bikers, even BMXers perhaps. Thanks.

Driving in a work convoy from Gwabegar to Coonamble. The others stopped for lunch in Baradine giving me a chance to sneak away for the find. Wrapped the cache in a new plastic bag as the old one was full of holes. All good. TFTC.

Found this one on the way back from a job. Nice spot. clues are a bit out though and had to rely on GPSr.
Nice spot in a great country town.

Hi

Having read recent posts for this cache, I checked the condition of the holding box. I found that the lid wouldn't close properly, mainly due to oversize items being placed in it. We've had a fair amount of rain recently and some water eventually got in. I've now replaced the original box with a slightly larger one.

Anotherwise known as a grab an go. A quick log signing and a bit of tape to tie down an escaping lid and I was on my way again. I did stay long enough to drain the water from the cache though. Some of the items were a little damp. Thanks for this one.

Team Bluedog completed a recent audit on the discovery of the cache by Emmnmnl and determined that while the find met the set requirements, it was a sloppy attempt, highlighted by the rehiding of the cache without its pen. However the return of the pen and the earlier attempt to pour hte water out of the cache and reseal it with insulation take made up for the tardiness.

Our sixth cache for the day. Found without too much trouble. TNLNSL.

Found with the Nomads who didn't have to walk quite so far having driven quite close to the cache with a camper in tow. We were a little less adventurous and left our vehicle and camper on the bitumen. TNLN TFTC. Greg and Bev

Found at 1:12PM by Ray and Maya and Greg and Bev on the 14th of Oct on our way north to Yarrie Lake for a couple of days of touring. I (Ray) was excited to find a cache had been placed at Baradine. I have spent many of my Victorian school holidays staying with relatives at Cumbil, and later Gwandalan, when they moved out there. It was a great chance to return to the area, participate in some nostalgia, and show Greg and Bev the area which I have become so fond of over the years. Easy find. TNLN. Thanks from The Nomads

spotted some distance away , left a pack of golf tees & took a tape measure . mad bulldog

This was the 1st Lady's 1st trip to Baradine. Not much there really. Great little spot - there were muggles on m'bikes and signs of recent rain though.
Found without any trouble. TB Mad Cow visited, he tried to get into the cache, but he was too big.

Left 8 ball, took fan.


Thanx mocca

Found this one this afternoon on a country trek. Cache for this little black duck.

Thanks Mocca.
We found this one on a day trip to Baradine.
I thought we were at the beach, with all the sand.
We had a good chance to look around Baradine as well.
Keep up the good work.
Regards

We found this easily as co-ords were spot on. Bones of a dog were nearby (alas he was so close to finding it).
Took insulation tape and left an elecronic decision maker. When Bronze had finished making his swaps we had to use the insulation tape to seal container.
Thanx Mocca

Thanks once again Mocca. I had never heard of this town, and there the type of towns I like. I would have like'd to have stayed a little longer but after the big weekend, I was cactus. All that eating had wore me down.

Found a Dogs Skull in the search and have brought it home to display at work as a reminder. Swapped a heap of stuff for a penny to go into "Out of Circulation" in Dubbo and a stapler to keep my life together.

The Bronze.

Thanks Mocca,
Nice to find a cache where it was meant to be and a great set of clues to find it.
Took the toy gyro and left a 3m tape measure
