Bridal Track Duramana, New South Wales, Australia
By Scenic routers on 24-Apr-05. Waypoint GCNM1K

Reperio 08:10With a mid week day off work, I decided to take a drive along the Bridle Track and tick off a few of the First Australian Parliament Geocache series. With every cache searched for found, it couldnt have been a better day for driving and geocaching. At the time of finding I didnt realise how old this cache was. A true testament of the times with good rural placement. Gratias opted-out userAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

Found with the MudgeeMadness crew.

Signed as a group with Mudgee Madness. Went past the sign as the gate was open for a quick find. TFTC.

Found with the Mudgee Madness Crew over the King's Birthday Long Weekend.From up high to down low, we added another one to the list. TFTC

This cache is in good condition but on private property. We think it will have to be moved. Container in good condition

#13073 11:50First of two days staying at the beautiful Hill End campground and do some interesting 4WD tracks. Of course there was the odd geocache to be found. Some nice campgrounds are scattered along the Bridal Track, right next to the Macquarie river. Looking forward to come back and stay at one of these campgrounds.After ignoring a sign and strolling through the grass it made for an easy find. TFTC Scenic Routers

Full log to follow.

Saw only the second camper along the Turon here over the entire week,a quick dash and soon found it
Thanks for the cache

TFTC!

Tftc quick find with Kimmy 533 TFTC

Tftc with drobbo

Nice

Out for a Sunday drive and delighted to have some caches to find. No need to worry about muggles here - nothing shorter than a giraffe would be visible in the long grass! TFTC

It is a lovely day to be out and we are enjoying some caching. The scenery is as beautiful as ever but the road is a nightmare. A seeming long walk through very long grass to get to the cache. Thankfully no snakes. TFTC

It’s been a long time since I’ve driven on this road. I’d forgotten how scenic the area is TFTC

Easy find. Lovely spot though will be a climb out on bicycles.

TFTC.

Beautiful location on a hot stormy day. TFTC

Took the geokids out of school for the day to take a three day weekend for fathers day and do some camping a little bit further down the road. Noone else felt like jumping of the car for cache was found by me whilst everyone else looked on from afar. Ironically we ended up back at this site the following day and then we all got to explore the area. TFTC!

TFTC! Had a nice picnic down by the river, Thanks for bringing us here!!

This was day 75 of our trip out of Sydney to visit the southern states of Victoria and Tasmania and we are very close to home now.

This was a very nice quick and easy find as we travelled along the Bridle Track. After the log had been signed the cache was replaced where we had found it. Thank you Scenic Routers for bringing us to this area and thank you for placing this cache for us and others to find.

Bathurst/Orange weekend trip August 15 with Albida33....

Arrived at GZ and soon had the cache in hand.....and then got sprung by one of the owners who was nearby on a family outing. Timing is everything. Grabbed the TB to move.

Thanks guys...great to see a cache over 10 years old still in the field.

Lovely camping spots along the Bridle Trail, we were here a few months ago prior to all the rain found it after some good old cache detective work and memories of caches found before.. Signed the log and went on our merry way. Tftc.

Oh and we found it.

tnln tftc nice area

Tftc found with no gps,

We seemed to be a bit backwards today and did this one on the way out. Quick easy find and took the Atlantis travel bug. TFTC

A day to remember...
And also a day to cache!
This log represents the first foray of our new 4WD out into the wild.
Such a shame that the road is now closed, but we enjoyed our little adventure anyway.

I found this 1 on the way out of the valley today – on the way in too many people around GZ area - thanks. TFTC / TFTH / SL

Another adventure decided to travel out to the Western Plains, caching around Lithgow and Bathurst and the on to Orange for the chance to pick up some caches and do some exploring along the way. Gotta love the Bridal Track, Nice Cache

Quick find on a great track. Well protected by an army of grown up weeds - boy, I found the cache in two minutes and spent twenty cleaning up the seeds from my jumper!

revisited while camping nearby. resigned log with own caching name.

camped here for years and never knew about geocaching til earlier this year. cache is damaged but had nothing to replace it with. SL TN LN TFTH

with wombatjo and her geoteen and debanco. TN LN TFTH

we have camped near here a few times with friends that are now also fellow cachers so when we arrived this time it was a race to the cache. Geoteen flew from the car after i made a remark about a likely spot and soon had cache in hand. SL TFTH

Great cache tnln a agreat start to Track of caches

THANKS

Found after dark, 8:50pm, on a Geo-Tour of the Bridle Track. Took leg horse, left sticker & serenity quote. TFTC

Muggles nearby, setting up camp, had us to try to look as we were just having a rest in the sun.
Took a white rat, left a lego horse.

Nice spot for a camp. Lots of muggles around. Hopefully they left it alone.

Easy find in the rain. Found this with TomTom in the obvious spot.
Cache is damaged & needs replacement so if you should have a spare 1Litre box & you just happen to be passing through....

TFTC

TFTC

I love it down here great part of the world! I must drag the fam back down for another weekend, TFTC

Heading off along the Bridal track this was the first find in the series as we dragged our weary bodies hoimeward bound.
Thanks for the cache Routers.

Found easily. Nice spot down here by the river. And a nice outlook over the campers below.

Quick find as we headed in to the Macquarie. At high enough water you can paddle this creek down to the Macquarie itself.

Found it A nice easy find to kick off our Bridle Track adventure. The geokids made the find. Did some swaps and signed the log, cheers

Geokids found this one while geoparents waited in the car. Nice easy find. It was just starting to rain. Picked up Diabetes TB.
TFTC

the picaroon have found the treasure
great spot on the way home from a camping weekend
cheers

Headed to bathurst to do some shopping and then decided to go for a cache run. Found the Hillend folder in the bag (it has been there for 6 months) so the trip was decided on. Nice easy find for the first of the day.

Left TB

The start of a great drive on a well maintained road. We really enjoyed our short trip in the country side.
JABs.

What happened to the Bridal track its like a highway here.

Out on a motorcycle camping trip in Hill end on new years eve, nice easy find, TFTC, Took:SES wristband, Left:Temporary Tattoos, thanks Mr and Mrs Packo.

Found this one while competing in the Bathurst 24 Hour Event. Found at 17:16. This road is not the quickest way to Hill End we were to discover, but a fun drive.

Thanks Routers for the cache.

The newly addicted, intrepid geocachers of floodprincess and family set off for the day, hoping to find the whole series of caches along the Bridal Track and enjoy the environs...

Unfortunately this was not be.....whilst we know the track well, after locating this cache (and swapping a semi limitied edition SES wristband for the little ceramic frog)..the batteries in the GPS died - leaving us with no option but to drive the track to Hill End and enjoy the scenery...

The rest await the trip out....

Thanks

Have headed out for an overnight Geocache trip, have found a few today.It is now dark as we head along the Bridal Track.Miss eight found it with great excitment by torch light.Decided to set up camp beside the river for the night.

Found cache on our way to Hill End nice easy find, a few muggles passing by. Took elephant keyring and left a plastic frog.
Thanks.

Nice easy find. Good spot. TNLN SL

Third for the day. Took the dog toy as the 'little' Rottie loved it. Played with it for a while. Left Aerogard. Then it was back in the car and journey on to the second in the series.

While out that way I decided to see what the Bridal Track was really like. Went as far as this cache (and logged, thanks once again Routers), then decided to go to the next one in the series.

About 6 or 7km down the road they are doing roadwork, and after seeing the 4WD infront of me get bogged, and have to be towed out, I thought the SV6 was not up to the task (2wd, f-all ground clearance, and no obvious towing points lol). I'll wait to do the rest of the series, or go another way to them.

Nice and easy find. TNLNSL. Thanks Routers.

Grabbed this one whilst out fishing on diggers day,diddn't have much luck here,river was dry.We are not too sure about the ball cup plier's thingie.
The resident redback has been relocated.
Cheers.

still catching up on loggin finds from last weekend.
joined the qwqueue, tnlnsl.

Found during the Hill End 4WDing weekend.

Hey, being my 300th it was fitting I should find it...needed stealth mode for this one...was so effective Cheeesy was still trying to find it long after it was retrieved!

Last in the series of Bridals. We all sgned the log and I returned the cache only to put my fingers millimetres from the redback spider that makes this spot home, so beware of the red spot.
Thanks again Routers

Grabbed this one on the event, lined up and signed. Great location and scenery, thanks Routers!

5:22pm
Getting cooler and starting to get darker. An easy find for the boy before wally got there, was going to drive away with it, but, the boy did not get in the car quick enough.

Took nothing, but, wally took a liking to the ball cupping device that we located within.

area coated in bike muggles when we pulled up but with a cunning plan cache was found logged and replaced.
thanks for making a good drive better.acko

Jnr Webguy needs to be quicker on his feet...
Rumours of my fondness for any ball cupping devices are greatly exagerated!
To the moderators; Relax! It's nothing blue! You'll just have to visit the cache to see for yourself.

Took - Carabiner pen thing

Left - Ball in ball cupping device.

Another quick stop, cache and go

We arrived at this one only to find plenty of muggle activity on mini bikes with no helmets. Rats tried driving right up to GZ but ropes due to his stelthieness already had the cache in hand.

We Came (on 4x4 event cache), we saw (a plastic container), we cached (cause it was the right thing to do).
TNLN

Found with CWBC. Nice easy one for beginners.

Exhausted from heat stroke and mountain climbing I finally reached my goal. Took strap left padlock and keys and frog

Only just got this one in time - on our way back spotted a bunch of hoons off-loading stinky trail bikes.
T: poncho L: card game
Thanks

Lovely area - signs in the river of the force at which it has flowed through recently. Took keyring and left scissor infuser. Thanks Scenic routers.

Gee I would not have found this great way to get to Hillend without the cache listings. Thanks for the Scenic Route. Took a cow and left Tassie keyring.

Found it on the Bidgee Caching Bathurst Tour.
Team Horizons said this was a track worthy of the tour, so off we go. Bump & bounce & bump & ...
T: stubby holder L: beads - that only lasted 2.3 seconds
6pm & more to get, so dinner can wait......
Thanks Routers

Found this one with the Bidgee crew. Great area and have camped here on a few occasions.

Took: Smiley Stickers and sweat band
Left: Cabana Clip Pen and Whistle

Thanks Scenic Routers!

Found it on the Bidgee Caching Bathurst Tour.
Located the cache easily. This is a really great area and have camped here a couple times.
T: beads
L: dart flights

thanks

Last one for the day. Very easy find but don't know what the view was like as it was pitch black. Little Miss '80' took the pet rock and left her mini cement frog & caterpiller. All Bridal Track caches are in clean, dry & good condition. Thanks Guys. Team '80'

Finally the black stuff and no more dust. GeoPup was getting a bit annoyed with us as he had been missing out on all the caches this morning so far. Too many burrs for him even to think about getting out of the car.
We had a great trip out to Hill End and back via the Bridal Trail and can highly recommend this trip and the caches.

We did a cache check and put a log book in ,so all is cooking now! Happy hunting!

Got my first virgin....that wasnt human!..or...(better not go there)

took the TB and left my stubbie holder...poor old lisa had to pour beer into my mouth all the way home as my girly hands were now going to get cold!

no log book in cache so i wrote on a piece of cardboard...
Is that deliberate??im not sure im only new??
anyway if it isnt perhaps the next person on their way out can take a spare!

other than that ..good cache in a great spot...these dudes always have good toys in their kits...
