I missed the unavailable before setting out, so I ended up just stopping by this one. For what should be an easy 1/1, there wasnt even a sign of an obvious hiding spot, let alone a cache. Will try again when it is back online.

Replace ASAP

I think this one maybe be gone.

After a couple of attempts at both day and night and surely to the wonder of local muggles, nothing has been found at this location.

Surely an un determined cache as easy as this would have been easily found if it were there.
The evidence of high muggle activity leads me to think its been taken.

I had a decent look but couldn't find it

Found and logged, Easy find if you knoe your trees
TNLN
Nice views

Nice find, Nice one for kids

Thankyou

Day spent with Timewarpz, Good find, easy for the kids

Found as part of Team Bananaphone on our Wagga caching weekend. It didnt take the team long to spot this one.
[:o)]
Thank you thank you!!!

Achoo!

Thanks for the cache, thequilts

Find #11 on Team Bananaphone's Wagga weekend bash. The team comprises myself, Bewilderbeest, Ultra Violet Z and Little Buds.

The find was made easier once someone reminded us what the name of the cache was. Duh!

TFTC

A nice easy find, which was appreciated after our struggle to locate Albert. The properties here certainly look pretty flash!

We signed the log as Team Bananaphone from Canberra as there were 4 of us.

Thanks for the cache

Found while walking around the lake with the family. We got sporadic rain showers but it didn't stop us from caching. TFTH!

Did some cache catching today and nabbed this one. Thanks!

Nice easy find, yet again lots of ppl walking around the lake.

TNLN Thanks for the Cache!

We were enjoying our little sortie around the lake and this was the last on the list for today here.
A short walk and just a smidgeon of the cache was showing allowing me an easy find.
Thanks again to thequilts

The afternoon was drawing towards an end but we were on a roll and this cache, in a nice location, was found and logged without any problems, thanks thequilts. We have found a few of yours today.

A nice stoll in the great weather today brought us to the Peppercorn tree. After some searching we found the cache a little further away from where our GPSr was pointing, sometimes we just have days like this! We made no swaps but paused to admire the lake.

Thanks,

R + D - B

A little hard to get the GPSR to settle here, but cache the cache revealed itself after a short search.
Nice location.
Many thanks to thequilts

623 - 23rd of 50 finds on a run from Canberra down to Wagga with Sol.

Parked quite close, dashed down, found the suspect, found the cache, signed, replaced, sneezed, and was off to the next one...

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found with AusCan1965 during our one day trip to Wagga......

Never knew what one of these looked like, so there ya go, something else I've learnt from caching!!!!!!

Found very quickly, log signed and then off to meet Albert.

TNLN & TFTC.

Cheers,

Very nice area, this was my first cache

0957 re-logging due to name change

957 Sent the geo-husband (now out of training) to find this one and he's gone back into training. HE BROUGHT ME BACK ANOTHER TB (we've got about 20 travelling back to Victoria with us from Qld & NZ). He said "easy find, out in open, now covered properly. I know what a peppercorn tree looks like now" TFTC thequilts

No-one here this afternoon so was able to take my time. Nice spot. Left a wedding TB. Thanks thequilts.

B-Team quick and easy find while collecting a couple of caches before heading home. Waved and chatted with a couple of locals who were out for a stroll before ducking into the bushes. Added a bit extra cover to the container. TNLN Good Luck!

60/131 @ 1500 on a Wagga (and districts) Geocaching Odyssey.

TFTC!

A quick find as we made our way around Lake Albert.
Thanks

I found this just before having to hurry off to the event. An easy find well hidden in a very public spot.
TFTC

Found on the Wagga weekend with Hoojar1ARC, The Rats and Big Matt and Shell.

Pretty quick one at a nice time of afternoon near the lake. Time for a bit of lunch!

Found this cache with Hoojar1ARC, Steeba and The Rats on our Wagga invasion weekend. A very simple find. We stopped for a while and had some lunch and enjoyed the view.

Thanks thequilts for the cache.

On a tight travel schedule now, and this being our last cache in this part of the state, we were pleased to make a quick find.
We TNLN & SL thanks thequilts for this cache and all the others of yours that have challenged us over the last few of days.
Romax.

really easy to find.

too easy, this one was not even hidden

after an unsuccessful cache this one was great. a nice spot for a picnic.

straight to it lots of people about

This was a bit too easy today as the cache was lying out, completely exposed. Have recovered. Nice area for a walk. TFTH

Went to it after an unsuccessful find close by and was cheered up by this quick and fun find.

48-61 on our trip south to Wagga Wagga.
Lovely area of town with big gardens.
Path nearby was busy.

Most of the good citizens of Wagga where making most of the fabulous weather and where out promenading along the lakes edge. Very pretty area.

An easy find for my first geocache, rode to within metres of ground zero. A picturesque location, found Batman TB and gave him a lift. TFTC

Looks like the rich and famous live in these houses. Tennis must be popular around here.
Nice easy cache in a pleasant area.
L - TB Batman (one of our favourites that we have found).
TFTC

Quite envious of residents in this area....this was a most pleasant stop off to find a cache and admire the views...TNLN

I was please there is only one of these tree here as GZ was 12 metres out for me. Thankfully after doing a couple of "peppercorn" caches in Victoria I knew what to look for. TFTC

Not many around early this morning but a few bike riders.Quickly located the goods in a well hidden location and completed the paperwork.Thanks to thequilts for a tranquil location.TNLN.

An afternoon stroll by the lake
GZ has a lovely smell, not to be sneezed at

Found with Hayleylou on a quick trip up to Wagga Wagga

This one was a good find in a pretty area, such nice new housing in the area quite a different side to Wagga Wagga, lots of muggles around and an area downer is it's a tad smelly. Was greeted by a fluffy critters bum when opening this one, he has a little christmas hat!

Great spot.

A nice walk around the lake, on our way to the playground for the kids.

We had complaints on the way back, due to it being around 2.5kms for the round trip.

Took puzzle & heart of stars.
Left Hippo & Frog.

Thanks thequilts for the excuse to get out. Know the area fairly well.

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. L.L.T.R.A

Cache Five of Fifteen on day three of the Wagga Wagga/Acts2’s Birthday assault in company with Dak Emu. Nothing like a size nine searching tool to uncover a buried cache, we smelled of the peppercorn tree as we left. Thanks Quilts for the cache.

Cache eight of nineteen on day three of the Wagga assault in company with acts2youthgroup. Once we got to GZ, the name of the cache was clear, but the location of it wasn't. We spent some time looking around until Acts2YG used his patented cache-finding method to find the cache at 1210. There is a pad of Post-It® notes in the cache, and some people have been using it as a log book. There is a real log book in the cache also, and we left our logs there. So there are effectively two log books in the cache now. Thanks to thequilts for the cache.

IN: Compass
OUT: Slider clips

Found 15:15, a nice easy find.

TNLN, thanks to thequilts.

first for the evening whilst walking the dogs.
Had just started to rain again finally! and the smell of wet peppercorn was heavy in the air.
L something
T something else can't remember now
Thanks anyway!

Have been meaning to come to Wagga for a cache trip for some while now, and finally got the opportunity! Nice and easy, no I really feel like a nice juicy steak with pepper sauce! TNLN, thanks yet again thequilts.

5:46pm
Found a way reasonably close and walked around the lake to this one, quite nice and still here tonight, beautiful sunset, birds roosting for the night, fish jumping.

Did not take too long to find, signed the log and placed it back. Really nice area.

A very nice part of the world. In the late morning there was an interesting blend of smells - the gums, she oaks, and peppercorn trees. Sat down under the tree to fill in the log.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found at 12:40pm. Accompanied by Chewinprickles, Geojen and Robmc.
45th find out of 64 on our Easter weekend away to Wagga Wagga and beyond.
I alway love to come to a cache when the trees smell as nice as this.
In: Dinosaur, Out: Leggo Indian, Signed Log. Thanx to the Quilts...

Another one where I thought we might pick up a TB to take down south but mtbikeoz beat us to it. In fact I think he cleaned out the town. Even the TB lounge was empty.
TNLN but enjoyed the location as usual.
Thanks.

just checked the cache to make sure it was there. i think it has been found as it had little cover, but i coved it back up

I got to smell peppery in there, eventually found cache with a poking stick. Took sheep and TB, left little man.

What a lovely view these houses have, if only we had enough money to afford something like this, then we would be able to cache full-time. We've been to Wagga many times over the years but we didn't know this great area existed. We found the cache quickly

Took Bear
Left Dog & TB Unicycle
Our thanks to the Quilts

Another quick and easy find. Great place, knew it was here but had never visited.

Thanx for giving us a reason to come here.

Peppercorn easy find not sure that we were allowed to drive there but we are tourists !

took a bit but with the help of the quilt boys in tow i found! thank you boys!!!

Found at the BBQ great day

found at around 19:10. was uncovered so i logged it quickly and recovered. it seems to have a bit of water damage for recent storms

Took the dog for an early morning stroll around the lake checked cache spot to re-unite with a new cache, only to find the original.

Checked on cache, appears to be muggled DNF
will replace ASAP

Checked: DNF will replace ASAP

Found easily on our trip out of town back to Sydney.
Cache was completely uncovered and laying in the open, so after logging it we covered it up again. Looks like its not the first time its been 'dug up'

TNLN

Found it a little exposed after a bit of a search due to lack of gps signal. Muggles walking by, so I logged it quick & then returned it to its obvious original spot.

Thanks thequilts
