Stortigirls, Out'n'about and I were headed to the Melbourne Mega. Next on our list for the day was this cache. We read the description with interest. We were lucky enough to be able to find a spot to park the car very close. The Donkey intrigued us. Smile We were luck enough to find the tool quickly. With the assistance of another tool we had, we soon spotted the cache and used the first tool to retrieve it. We added our names to the log and rehid the cache before we continued on our journey.

Found it, thought I'd have to come back with a torch, but then the light shone in just the right way... used a tool i found lying nearby, it was perfect, maybe the correct tool but not put back in the correct location after use?

Next stop on our roadtrip was Dubbo so we looked around for a cache worth doing and spotted this one. Drove right up to GZ and soon had the cache spotted... but not yet retrieved. After trying a few of the natural tools around and having no luck mrnoo17 went back to the car and found a magnet tool which worked a treat!
Very well hidden! TFTC Oldbluedog

Great idea. Tftc lucky I had all hands

This was a surprise object all alone with no obvious purpose or signage. I had just the right stature to spot the cache and saw a nearby object to assist with retrieval. Thanks for a good hide.

On my way home from the OZ Mega at Stanthorpe, So I thought I'll get some
In Dubbo. What do you do when you don't have the right tool, you look around till you find one?
How many people opened the wrong end ??
Thanks Oldbluedog
 
Found on the way home from the Queensland Mega event in Stanthorpe with Uni and Shonky. We had a fantastic time finding a lot of great caches along the way.

We saw the cache container fairly easy but getting it was another question used a extraction implement and all was good on our way too the mega thanks for the hunt

A nice find before leaving Dubbo early this morning on our last stretch heading to the QLD Mega, Stanthorpe

Day 2 as we head from Adelaide to Stanthorpe for the mega we stopped here for lunch. Found easily and after reading the "open this end for loigbook" we signed a good condition logbook which still has plenty of room, previous finder might not have noticed that detail. No cut feet either, we wore shoes Smile

Found whilst on current campervan holiday. Needs new log sheet. Be careful of broken glass everywhere...badly cut my foot at GZ. On my way to Easter Mega at Stanthorpe. SL.TFTC!

We realised the general area where the cache would be hidden as we approached. Luckily enough, the cache was in the first place that Mr TiedyeSmileys looked. Even luckier, he even realised it was the cache and didn''t keep on looking.
Mrs TiedyeSmileys' cache bag had just the right equipment to extract the cache and it was soon in hand.

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.

Day two saw us caching all day while we drove from Dubbo to Tamworth. Today was a great day seeing people voting and finding lots of caches. These can be a bit scary for caching, but two hidden like this on the trip made for a solid first place to look. Thanks.

We had to laugh as geo-kitten #1 just walked up and said 'there it is'. A previous solo visit in more 'favourable' lighting had ended fruitless. Nice to finally tick this one off. Thanks Oldbluedog.

on our way from Canberra to the great outback and as there were no caches in the immediate vicinity, trekked back to Dubbo for a few.

Last cache of the year for me, and while we did still have light and the ability to grab a few more, decided that this was a fantastic hide to end the year on.

This one was very creative & I loved the concept. TFTC OldBlueDog.

Fave for me

We'd made camp in Eumungerie for the night on our way from Canberra to the great outback and as there were no caches in the immediate vicinity, trekked back to Dubbo for a few.

Last cache of the year for me, and while we did still have light and the ability to grab a few more, decided that this was a fantastic hide to end the year on.

Cache was very easy to find and in an obvious location, but it was just so creative a hide and good to see that something like this has been around for almost 10 years.

Yet another reason I love this hobby. Thanks for a brilliant cache Oldbluedog

My three month Brisbane adventure has started. Day 4, Dubbo to Gunnedah.

Today, I was up at six thirty to take the GeoSchnauzers for a walk or two in the "cool" of the morning, down by the Macquarie River. Nice. I also did a cache on each side of the river while we were there. Then we had breakfast, and, the temperature being 35 degrees already, I decided that today will be a park and drive day, mostly.

No 1 of 15 today. Thanks, Oldbluedog. Top cache, good construction effort, well stashed!! We started off with the dog walk, I admired the old donk, then searched out the cache. Then, we walked a bit further and admired the river.
 
20-Nov-14
Today we explored Dubbo and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.

Loved the hidey hole!

Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Another find with the Mighty Minions. Nice container. Initial zone was easy to find but took a little effort to locate the container. Well worth it though.

on a great weekend visiting Dubbo with Gilmaster and families we stopped for this cache it was a joint effort for finding and retrieving a very clever cache in a nice spot Thanks oldbluedog TNLN SL

After grabbing caches near the western plains zoo, I wanted to grab a cache close to the town of Dubbo. We were in town for dinner so I stopped by here as it had a high number of favourite points. This was the most entertaining cache on the trip from bris to melbs so far, so another fav point from me. tftc

Found at 10:23:00 AM on a trip to Dubbo and the zoo. I noticed this had a lot of favourites so we stopped here. It was a good spot to swim the dogs before the trip home. Cache was found easily,. but log is in bad shape.

Thanks Team Bluedog

No tool required and found in the first place I looked. We used to walk to town from West Dubbo over the Black bridge as it was so much more direct than taking the White bridge. Once a train even stopped and gave us a lift over.

On the way out I noticed a vagrant asleep under one of the huts further down.

Good cache otherwise great park thanks for the cache.
