Checked the maths. Still OKChecked the GZ and cache. Still there and OK

Got to WP1, found the info did the sums, went to what we thought was GZ but no prize. Pity.

With Featherwaite we're on our way to Canberra for the GeoBash Mega over Easter.On our way we set our route to take in LGAs that I have no finds in. Day 1 we made it to Narrandera and Day 2 we arrived in Canberra.Unless stated this cache is in good condition.Apologies for the generic log.TFTC

Found with Team Waldron on our way to the Capital GeoBash in Canberra over the Easter long weekend. Thanks for the cache Roostaman!

Really hot here today I parked just below the posted and found the needed info,at GZ I thought I found but an endless length of stainless steel cable!I checked a more likely spot then found itThanks for the cache

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Wending our way towards Canberra for the Mega. Staying a couple of days in Wagga Wagga. Today we decided to head out and tackle the Riverina Geocaching's GeoTriad Tribute series before grabbing a couple of town caches.Mrs Felix did the sums and Mr Felix added our name to the log. My that is a looooong and impressive bridge. TFTC Roostaman

Did the math and after a short search and a few spider homes came up with the goodsTFTC

While staying in the area we found a plethora of caches. Some easy some hard some high and some low some multis some mysteries some trads and Labs. This was one on the finds TFTC.

Find number 10371Mr Booo went for the short walk and made the find Thanks Roostaman for placing this cache GCNRTZ

Today we explored Wagga Wagga and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.We enjoyed travelling through the countryside and visiting new, to us, locations.We found a variety of hides with varying degrees of difficulty.Once we worked out the finals we made a quick find at GZ.Many thanks Roostaman for your cache placement.

Nice day for a drive and a cache.
Found in a safe place.
Thanks for the cache.

Found on a NAW holiday from VIC. Bit tricky, didn’t look well enough, moved position, got frustrated and went and had a better look in the first spot!! Thanks.

A cool, shady spot. May need a torch later in the day though. Fairly easy to find once you work out the co-ords. Fun to search and find though! tftc. tnls.

Sorted the number no problem. Quickly found at GZ.
Over from New Zealand to attend the Rutherglen Mega. Now heading back to Sydney getting many caches along the way.
Thanks for the cache, Roostaman

Found on a trip from Adelaide to NSW and back with Freddo.

Our main target was ‘Frying Pan’ in the Chichester State Forest, near Barrington Tops north of Newcastle.

We allowed ourselves a week to travel there and back, taking a circuitous route through Victoria and NSW, camping each night and finding a range of caches of interest along the way.

Rains over the past few months meant a few detours along the way and plenty of water about, restricting access to some caches and camping areas. Many of the roads were quite chopped up with potholes and the mosquitoes were plentiful! But we had a good run with the weather, with just the odd shower, but mostly fine, warm and overcast.

After collecting the required information, the final coordinates were soon determined and it was off to GZ just a short distance away.

Thanks Roostaman for the cache.

Nice multi solved and found on the first go. Container where you would think it is. TFTC and signed log at 8:20am.

No container to be found anywhere

After a longer stay in Tumut than we had originally intended it was time to move on. Time spent with family is never wasted though, so our time there was very well spent and much enjoyed.
We didn't move far however and have arrived in Wagga for a few days where we have caught up with Roosterman and Mrs Roosta again and then also joined by Rebel Acts. The team back together!
The weather has been variable and made approaching some caches challenging due to the accumulated water and mud. And boy has it been cold at times!
Still we have chased a variety of caches and managed to find some high D/T ones on our way.
Always a great time caching with good friends.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Roostaman.

I couldn’t find it

Been a great day for a find or two. Thanks Roostman for the series

Very spidery and grubby. Hint helped but took a while to spot the obvious cache.
An adventure weekend to Wagga with Kittykatch and barb2e chasing old ones and DT. Signed as Capital Crunchers.
Thanks For getting me out and about Roostaman

Road Trip - Wagga Wagga
Joolay, barb2e and I took a drive south to Wagga to attend a couple of events. Signed caches as Capital Crunchers. Cool multi and hide.

Thanks for your hide here Roostaman

Collected some solved and targetted caches in Wagga Wagga with Joolay and Kittykatch. Signed as Capital Crunchers. Tftc

After Roostaman kindly gave me a hint, I came back and found it. A favorite from me. TFTC

I did the puzzle and came up with likely coords but came up empty handed.

Caching on with ilook4geo into new territory for this trip. This one was an easier find than some. All found logs were signed and each cache was put back as it had been found. Thank you to Roostaman for adding this cache to the game.

Doing some more caching with goingplaces2 and enjoying the day. Cache found, log signed. TFTC.

Found during a week in the Riverina.

Completing the 'Wagga Bridge' series was one primary goal of the week.
A simple offset calculation and an easy find at GZ. TFTC

Today I travelled down with Albida33 for your Community Celebration event and turned it into a day of caching arriving home about 2100. It was well worth the effort as was finding this one. I was so glad that I had my cap on for this one as it is covered in spider webs. A good find at GZ and log is now signed. TFTC Roostaman

Took a few minutes at gz searching but persisted as the description so matched where I was. Nice simple offset cache. TFTC.

Found at 4:10 PM GAFF5.
There is an unwritten rule that the cache in these sort of hides has always got to be placed in the LHS of these structures - so why isn't this one there?
Thanks Roostaman

Woo hoo!! Another Jasmer bites the dust. Out with Gliss! In a dust storm in Wagga. Despite the weather we just couldn’t let this one go. Hide in the safety of the car whilst we worked out the sums, and then made the relaxing walk to GZ for a fast find. Glad to have this one in the bag Tftc

Found with Nibletricecakes on a quick trip to Wagga collecting smilies for various challenges. Thanks for maintaining this oldie.

After yesterdays big adventure I was hoping for a sleep in and then a quiet morning caching before winding my way back to Albury. Was awake early though and was all packed and ready to go at 7 when I noticed the car had a flat tire. Hadn't changed one on this vehicle so took a while - looks like I ripped the side wall yesterday (though pretty certain I didn't drive on it flat).

The plan then was to pick up 6 multis to complete a challenge from Victoria, climb The Rock to loo for butterflies and claim the old cache there, and then head home. Achieved both (and got a few traditions as well) but took longer than I thought and only just beat the rest of the family home when I got there at 3.

After a coffee stop at what must be Wagga's most popular cafe (huge numbers but still quick) I then proceeded to this cache. Parked nearby and then again it was a relatively short stroll to GZ. Completely over-complicated the hide and finally realised the hint and lowered my altitude and found the cache. Tucked back into a better corner and was then on my way.
TFTC Roostaman

A great day caching in and around Wagga Wagga. Did lots of short walks and many drive by's. The weather was pretty ordinary with a cloudy an fresh start early morning. Enjoyed all the finds and thanks to all the CO's for putting them out there.

On a geocaching road trip from Brisbane to the Mega in Queanbeyan via a little detour through South Australia and Victoria to snaffle some of their caches along the way.

Have been on the road 19 days so really itching to get to the Mega site today before the party starts. This multi and the other one here looked doable for a short break off the highway. Managed to get into the park itself so this was almost a park and grab. Got the info, plugged some numbers in and off I went after the final. Getting worried as I wasn't finding it where I expected to be. Even went almost to the top through the long grass but couldn't find it.

It wasn't until I went back to my starting point that I saw it sitting out on bare ground looking at me yelling "here I am ya blind bat!".
How could I have not seen it when I started??!! And it had been close enough to bite me on the ankle on my first search!!
Shoulda gotten those new glasses before I left home!

Got hold of the cheeky monkey and signed my name into it and tucked it out of sight where the coords said it should be and skipped off to find the other one.

TFTC Roostaman

After our three week trip through South Australia and Tasmania, which ended in Sydney, We stayed with friends in Wagga Wagga for a couple of days.
Today we were dropped by our muggler friends, to have a nice walk along the Murrumbidgee river where we could also find some caches. Because of the ongoing work we had to make a little detour, but finally caught up with the intended route.
This one was near the place where we were picked up by our friends again. Nice to show them what this game is all about. Gathered the info needed and calculated where GZ should be. While searching actually passed it twice before it was noticed.

Roostaman, many thanks for this cache.

After seeing an event pop up at Jugiong, fitzy_1965 and I decided to camp at Oura Beach and hold our own event the next day. We headed off early Saturday morning with three of my geo-kids, Lovetherabbitohs, death_killer & my_name_jeff_1. Most logs were signed as MK, F65 & geokids.

Our event over and done with, it was time for a bit of caching before heading home.

WWW series complete....now time for a few more caches to finish off the day. Parked near the WP, quick calculations and quicker find of cache. Yay for finding another multi.....I really need to boost my numbers.

17,586. Found with minniek on a weekend journey for another caching adventure.

After attending our Oura Beach Camping Event we headed out to grab a bunch of fun caches around the Wagga area. This was the next one on the list. For some reason I've only ever done 1 of the Bridge series of Multi's over the years (and that 1 was at the Mega). So I've vowed to do at least 1 more ever visit to the area. Today's choice was #1. Info gathered, GZ calculated and conquered. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then we headed off to the next one.

Thanks to Roostaman !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Worked out the information fairly quickly and wandered over to GZ. Struggled to find the cache but ventured further into long scary grass (luckily it was night and had cooled down) and after falling into a small hole and scaring myself by seeing a large spider I soon found the cache!

Phew, that was a short but scary experience! Thanks

This second last find was a little tricky. Double checked our maths and read back through past logs. Something from 2010 provided the necessary confirmation and it was quickly located after that. It is 1 mtr from the toad and you do feel quite safe when signing! Thankyou for the challenges you have set forth for us to complete today.

With angusnmumyadv.

TFTC. It is great to convert a blue sad face to a yellow smiley. We attempted this 12 months ago. Must admit we were in a bit of a hurry . We had a few minutes this morning and on rechecking the calculations found one number wrong. A quick walk and cache in hand.

T4TC - Worked out co-ords pretty quick had a look but was concerned had wrong location, approached GZ later in the day on a diffrent angle and after another search had cache in hand.

Found with Lildonnasadventure and kriddynsash09.

Worked out where earlier but no time to find. went back later and crawled around till we found. Good hide. tar

After having a very busy day, I decided to see if I could at least find one cache today before coming home. I decided on trying this cache. After parking the car somewhere I probable shouldn't have, I made my way to the WP. After looking around I kinda guessed where it was but because I wanted to be sure (and I needed the numbers for WWBridge#10), I worked out GZ and went for a short wander over to it. At GZ (which my hunch was correct) I made a quick find and soon after it was signed and replaced. TFTC and now I am one step closer to finding GZ of WWBridge#10.

Out and about in the Wagga area today grabbing a few caches and this was one of them.

After parking nearby it was a short stroll to WP1 where the information was gathered and then off to GZ. It was a short search and the cache was soon in hand.

After the log was signed all was returned as found.

With a relatively free weekend at last a plan was hatched with Rapidlywild to go and collect some unfinished multi and solved puzzles along with some new caches in Wagga Wagga.

It was a rather eventful weekend with a close encounter of the brown slithery kind, not a very happy either as I think we woke it from its winter slumber, friendly cows, good and not so good weather and the opportunity for the inner monkey to show itself again on a few occasions.

TFTC Roostaman and thanks for a fun weekend Rapidlywild.

Suscoe headed out this afternoon with the Phetlern team for a delightful afternoon of caching around Wagga Wagga.
We had a terrific time finding some interesting caches in some interesting locations.
So many town caches around this city.
Thanks to Roostaman for this hide. It is still there and we were so excited to find this one after such a long time being unloved.
H was the star here.
A favourite for finding this one after such a long gap in the find dates.

16:38
A leisurely afternoon in and around the city, with Suscoe, in an effort to convert some of the many green boxes to smiley tokens on our geo-map.
Looking at the previous logs - last find September '15, we were apprehensive at this time of day.
We double checked the calculations and headed down! We checked a number of possible hiding spots and yes the cache is still there!!

Thanks Roostaman for placing this cache.

We had left Wagga Wagga yesterday to go to the Temora RV Muster. Unfortunately we needed to travel back today to get Linda and injection. We did not intend to waste the day so we attempted this cache in the hope of achieving over 2years of unloved. Worked out the co-ords for GZ and checking carefully, came up empty. We will put it on watch and have another look when we go back to Wagga after Anzac Day.

Couldn't find looked all rounds coodinates could ownwe please check

Good one!

Found ourselves a safe parking spot, but had to cross a couple of roads to locate WP1. Wandered off through the long grass and sticky weed to GZ. SL at 9.18am TNLN #2462 TFTC Roostaman - a nice little multi except for the grass seeds!

nice easy multi, TFTC =)

We love your caches, thanks roostaman! Nice easy one. Took ball left ring.

Nice stroll. TFTC, it was good having my short Geokids here for this one. The Green Family..

[:(!] While in Wagga for the week I picked a few caches and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes, worked out the co-ordinates and went down under.

TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH Roostaman [^]

Enjoyed drive on the way to Cootamundra for a day, via stop some caches on highway... Nice Multi, love it, got it to GZ, hide very dry no trouble... Thanks

Found a wallet in the cache...empty! Pretty sure thats bad luck for the giver. TNLN, thx Roostaman I'm liking the bridge series.

Found with Rapidlywild on another one of our epic geomissions

This one had us going for a little while. Both of us searched a particular structure first without success. So then it was just a matter of making our way down- searching as we went. I found something that looked a little promising and pulled and pulled, but soon discovered it was part of the bridge lol Then I thought I'd try a new location. After a bit of searching here and there it wasn't until I looked from another angle and there it was! After caching duties were completed it was off once again on our mission

Thanks again, Roostaman!

After a huge day yesterday collecting 88 caches in total, today we had a bit of a slower start. We didn't kick our caching off till close to midday today as I was fighting a horrible bronchitis cough and we decided to catch up on some much earned sleep.

Today we decided to hit a few of the multis in Wagga after picking up heaps of traditionals yesterday.

After collecting the required information, we went for a short stroll to make the find. This one took us a little longer than we anticipated. At one stage, specimenX was pulling on something that clearly wasnt the cache, hope she hasnt broken the bridge [:p]

Cache was found soon enough once again by specimenX, logging duties completed and cache returned.

Thanks for a nice cache the Roostaman

TFTC. Kel_Mar out with MGROCKS.

Geohubby tells a story of working on the bridge as a surveyor years ago TFTC Roostaman

Definitely still there.
It was slightly exposed, so I tucked it back safely in it's place.

Cache checked & still safely in place.

think i had the correct coordinates however conducted search within range of clue and on both sides just in case i had a large error to no evail maybe this will require a check by the CO it may have been upset by accident that occurred hear.

Thanks for the location Roostaman.

good find TFTC

missed this about 3 times until i stopped trying to think tricky. TFTC

Got answers and started heading for GZ. Took a little while there, but the cache was soon in hand. Pretty nice area. TNLN. TFTC.

Me and my two boys headed up to Cobram to see Great Nanna (or grape nanna as my two year old calls her) as well as catch up with Marshy (AKA Blacklegend).
Today we grabbed a few caches in Tocumwal before meeting up with Marshy and a few of his kids before heading over to Wagga via Berrigan and Lockhart, for a day of caching and fun.
We arrived looking for another nearby trad but fading light and the terrain lead us to divert our attention to the multi. We were soon signing the log and heading into town for Maccas before heading back to Tocumwal.
Thanks Roostaman.

One of 33 found for the day on a caching run with my best mate Marty (Quasar3671) and a stack of the kids, 5 in all between us. Cache run took us from Tocumwal, via Marijimmy and Berrigan then Urana, Lockhart and Wagga. Top day.

We came here looking for another cache, but didn't have a good look, or much of a look at all as it was getting quite dark, and i don't think the nearby trad was suited to darkness at all. So, we gave this one a crack and came up with the goods for the last find for the day. TFTC and another great Wagga adventure.

Tftc
Our first multi

Found with Gogoanna nice find keep em up thx.

A quick-ish find thanks to the hint narrowing down the options. Another down in the series. TFTC Roostaman.

Found with o'cholio. TFTC

good hide and clues

A quick pick up and interesting history of the bridge in my way home today. Thanks Roosta!

Well this was going to be our first cache of the day with Skullracer1 after meeting up after lunch - but would have been a DNF as we all looked up, down, round & over with no luck - and boy was it hot!

After a quick call to a local & Roostaman ..... to say maybe it's gone, it was then returned quick smart and we were able to make the find on our way back into to town - Many thanks Roostaman!!! Service with a smile!
Another one of the bridges series down.....a few to go.
Thanks for the hunt Roostaman!

#912 @ 5.10pm. Well we were here earlier in the afternoon when we 1st met up with team haveanez and spent quite a bit of time looking - the Queen doubted her co-ord calculations and re-checked 3 times (I think that's where I got sunburnt ). We crawled up, down, in and out and couldn't understand why we couldn't reveal a 1 litre container. A passing local suggested where it should be but it was a place where we'd checked....buggar....muggled. The gracious cache owner planted a replacement for us - Riverina Cachers are amazing!! With all the prework done, on our way back through it was straight to GZ where Dad located the cache. TNLNSL Our sincerest thanks to Roostaman for resurrecting this cache whilst we were still in town

New cache in place as muggles had found it.
Just in time for some visitors to pass by.

Found on our way travelling through the outerskirts of wagga. Lucky the grass had just been cleared off the path, we were thankful for that. Nice little multi. SL TNLN TFTC

VEF TFTC

tftc Got my #4 briges mixed up so had to to this one today so they are both done now thanks

Gathered the required information from the comfort of the urban assault vehicle before heading off to GZ. In short order I had spotted the cache after determining which side of the bridge I needed to be. The traffic was certainly rushing past, but I felt perfectly safe while retrieving the cache. Thanks for the cache Roostaman

Rated: for Overall Experience

Thanx- great

Found while attending the OZ Mega Wagga Wagga Event. TFTC Roostaman

620 - 11 for today. Found on 04/04/2010 at 1:12 PM
Did the calculations and ventured towards GZ, no flying wasps today but you can see all the nests around. Did my business and got outa there fast. TNSLLN

Did the maths and after a bit of poking around came up with the goods.

Found while in Wagga for Oz Mega (great event - thanks by the way!)
Thanks for the cache

Found with Richlink. An easy find.

and yet another of the Bridge series bites the dust. Thanks for the hunt Roostaman.

After calculating the GZ coords, I sent Urch off to do the work, but she came back empty handed. A subsequent joint attack came up with the goods - it was certainly not the easy driveby I had been expecting. TFTC.

Out caching while attending the Mega Event. Nice short multi - no problems with the figures. TFTH

A nice hide, it had us searching for a small amount of time. Found during the OZ MEGA event. TFTH...SL....TNLN
