not being replaced now. time to end this one.

Repairs are under way at GZ, so it will have to wait a while before it can be replaced.

Looked high and low for this one but could not find it. It sure left me feeling blue Many many locations it could be hidden in and not being terribly agile, I had to give up.

tftc

Try your luck, and it wasn't ón'the seat, closer to the wall and the floor.
If it is not there, I will have to have a look when we return from our latest trip.

micheena - on arriving at GZ, found the seats had been dismantled. Looked around, but if the cache was on the seats, it's defenately gone. May need a visit Roostaman.

Didn't attempt this one as the place is locked up tight. Knowing this may be the case beforehand via the attributes may have been handy. The 'Available at all times' attribute is not correct.

Found with a little help from some co-geocachers. TFTC

Found at 1.45pm. TFTC
Our 150th.

Well hidden sistema. We had parked the geo-limo to hide us from the muggle living nearby in his caravan, so we're able to search easily.

A lovely day out caching today, apart from the heat and the humidity.
Lots of fun caches and some great spots to see.

Thanks, Roostaman!

No help needed this time Roostaman but did take a little of deduction to find. and yes i can confirm the cache is there you just have to take the hint and possible expand on it a little.

#82 in the bag so it is off to work i go. Thanks Roostaman for the great location. you may have to review the attributes for this cache as i have often gone past the location and seen multiple gates locked and no access available. These are the times we now live in it is such a shame.

GPS was all over the place today, but a welcome break on drive home to Adelaide. Plenty more to come back for one day!

Nice hide in a nice spot

Had a good search, but obviously in the wrong places as owner has checked recently. Sorry Roostaman, it's a DNF for us today.

Cache checked & still in position.

I think it was either muggled or we just weren't looking hard enough. We had a long look but we couldn't find it. Nice area though, thanks for taking us there.

We attempted this one a couple of days ago however there was a muggle near the GZ so we gave up then this morning after finding one cache nearby, went to hunt this one with no muggles around...Mr Bushies2 found it after a short search. Thanks Roostaman.

A quick find while on the way out of the showgrounds. TFTC Roostaman.

Found with o'cholio. TFTC

Nice and quick find. TFTC.

came during the day when the gates were open

Nice quick find with I'm 5 and lizardliz. TFTC!

Well that took longer than it should have, with muggles galore and not reading the description properly I ended up spending nearly 20 mins on this.
Nice hide and log is dry
Tftc

Toom a little bit to find, but i had the right idea, and soon enough had the cache in hand and signed. Thankfully it was a quite day so no problem muggles or anything. Thanks for the cache

Took a little while to track this down - probably because I rushed in. A nice spot and very quiet today. TFTC

Found this one while doing a few caches around Wagga today.

The cache is dry and no muggles

Cache checked and found to be moved from it's correct place.
New log book replaced & cache returned to it's correct location.
PLEASE RETURN IT TO THE SAME PLACE AND IT SHOULD NOT GET WET.

Nice easy find, the contents is a bit wet, but was able to write in the log book still. Left a TB!

Good cache bit wet tho!

Absolutely saturated left to dry for as long as I could!

WATCH OUT FOR SPIDERS NEF TFTC

Fifth find for the day whilst here in Wagga for Riverina Geocaching's 1111111111 event.
Found with davew61 @ 1457 hrs.
After finishing "Australian icon", we exited the grounds to go to the entry gate nearer this cache... Locked... Hmmmm
After going back to the gate we had just exited, we found it to be recently locked as well, glad we didnt get stuck in there!!!.
O.k then,, im not going till i do this one, so we parked at the closest gate, and scaled the fence......
Spotted a pen on the ground near gz, and looked up,, found it!
Cheers Roostaman.

No.6 cache today. Cheers, nice spot.

Found nice and easily on a morning run around town. Have lost my mojo as of late and am trying to get back into it. This certainly helps!!

Thanks Roosta

Good easy find with not too many muggles about. Cache is in good order

Found by geokids who took patch and dinosaur and left bubbles and pengrip. TFTC

Although there was much activity nearby with a model train exhibition being held the area around Blue Ribbon was quite and we were able to spend time pondering the past history of these obviously old buildings.

The cache was easily found and we were able to take our time rummaging through and signing the log in the warm afternoon sun.

Thanks for showing us this interesting place.

Found on our super Wagga weekend with Skullracer1!
With all eyes on deck this one didn't take too long at all with Big Ez grabbing it pretty quickly.
No Blue swaps today.
Just as we were about to pop it back, a car drove in, so Big Ez had to go into "I'm talking on my phone", walking around mode!

#483 @ 11.18am. On our Wagga weekend caching extravaganza with team Haveanez. We had been to this location previously to pick up another cache and we were surprised to have missed this at that time. However today was the day to put the smiley face on this one. Big Ez soon had the cache in hand but it was watching him try to act all nonchalant when trying to replace the cache due to some muggles turning up that had us sniggering. When does a Garmin look like a phone? When Big Ez tries to replace a cache .

Out with Puk Ed on our Wagga trip...(and yes he got his log date wrong.)....well actually I wrote the wrong date in the log so there you go.

Thought this one wasn't going to happen due to locked gates but Puk Ed's quick eyes worked out an alternative route and it was a quick drive in and cache grab.

TFTC

The nearby gates were locked but a quick drive up and back was our savior. Quick find. Tftc

Tried doing this last night, however gates are locked...Lot easier in the daytime anyway...thanks.

Nice and easy find. Police drove past twice...abit worrying! SL TNLN T4TC

Easy find TNLN SL & Took Off.
TFTC.

TFTC, Had a dog of a time with this one

Some interesting items to be found, even if some aren't blue!

There were a few people about, so we let the dogs out, and tried to look innocent.
Eventually figured out where it had to be, and Mr Bunny got it.
Just as we'd replaced it, a man came up to us to let us know that he was locking the gates, and didn't want to lock us in.
We hurriedly packed up the dogs and left the area.
Just to let future searchers know that the gates are sometimes locked, so the cache would be VERY difficult to find.

very blue day to get it lolz. Na it was bright and sunny day.Tftc

Another find on our return trip after Oz Mega

Found it, nice and quiet today heaps of Oz Mega people were here last week by the look of the books

Finally home from Oz Mega and time to log. Found this one fairly quickly. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves with the exception of some motor cycle learner riders who were busy doing their own thing some distance away. TFTC

Managed to drive straight up, and it was a simple matter to retrieve and replace the cache without any drama in the early evening. The kids are keen to earn a few ribbons, they are planning on enetering various things in our local show next year after Roo's dad picked up a few this year in the woodwork section. Thanks for the cache Roostaman

Rated: for Overall Experience

I think we might have been extremely lucky here, as the gates were open for a motorcycle training course, so we drove to within 5m of GZ. When we drove past later, they were locked shut, so our timing was good. The Marble found this one while I was pottering around the wrong spot, and not a soul in sight. TFTC! ='.'=

16th find of the day, and 2382nd total find at 14:58.

Last day of caching before heading home, hopefully we will get all the traditionals done.

No blue screwdrivers with us, & it wouldn't have fitted anyway

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Roostaman for the cache

Was no way near blue so could not leave anything of the same.tftc

Found by Facitman and the Facit-Family plus m.s.n. in the company of Rhinogeo at the OZ Mega Wagga Wagga event at 11:49
Found the nearby Australian Icon cache and misread where this was so had a longer drive than required before a very quick find.
TNLN
Thanks Roostaman

Found with tiedyedsmileys, who got quite prone!

Wondered how and if we could get in there with all those padlocks on the gates. Finally found a way in (at the same time as Butterfly Lady and company) and the cache was soon in hand.

Found 05/04/2010 11:47 . Find #4 for the day with the Facit-family+1. Once we found the way to GZ the cache was soon in hand .

4th of April, 2010
New to the official world of caching but have been involved since 17th of April 2009 (my first cache find). But have only just gotten a log name. Time to log all the wonderful caches that I have been finding since I have been caching with The Empire. My name in the log book is H.
On our way to Wagga Wagga. I knew it was going to be the best birthday week. Even waking up at 4am and not having a coffee straight away didn't matter. We were on our way to some beautiful caching days.
Our last day in Wagga...trying to cache as much as possible.

Found with my daughter Mooshell. TFTC.

Visiting for Oz Mega Wagga Wagga from Brisbane and hunting with my regular caching buddy Gunnie69. Thanks for sharing your great city, terrific caches and fabulous hospitality with us. Great to have the opportunity to run in to so many fellow cachers at so many GZs in and around Wagga Wagga!

My favourite Blue Ribbon is in fact an ice-cream!!!

Thanks for the cache Roostaman . Cheers, svn07

Oz Mega weekend find, thanks Roostaman for the cache and the challenge of the find. Log signed and replaced.

Found by Bob at 1515

After my big loop to the south of Wagga today, I'd completed my list of 23 caches and it was so early that I now started to cast around for neaby possibilities and this one showed up on the way back to my motel to get ready for the closing night festivities. The thing I love about country towns is that vehicles seem to be allowed in anywhere and I was able to pull up no more than 2m from this cache and log it in no time at all

TNLN

Thanks again Roostaman

Found at 08:41 with 3up. We tried for this one before Australian Icon but the gates were closed, so we were glad to find them open after completing Overpass Wagga Bridge #3. A short search soon revealed the hide. TFTC Roostaman.

TFTC. No muggles around this time

Find # 1091 @ 08:41 with Jaffnut whilst attending the OZ MEGA event.
We tried to get to this on foot from "Australian Icon" but the gates were locked. As we drove past this time, the gates were open and the hide was soon in hand. TNLN SL TFTC

Found during the amazing OzMega event in the company of Micaparamedic, smegheads, and Sully1.
Thanks again, Roostaman FTC, SL

Found whilstat the Oz Mega Event in the company of Mooshell_22.
Another country cache that was great to visit

TNLN SL TFTC

Parked within 2m of this one which was extremely handy. Didn't help me find the cache though a I went off on a tangent and started looking in the wrong spot. Meanwhile, Svn07 went straight for GZ and pulled out the container... [^]

The benefits of team work...

Cheers Roostaman.

Oz Mega Wagga Wagga Trip 2010 with JezzzaXtreme and linFox, Day 3
#406: Found quickly once we started searching in the right location. There was a man staring at us from a nearby building the after we had made the find

gate was open and that was a Green light for us to grab this one and also the other nearby Icon cache, found quickly and a quick sit down and the team was done, found on the ACT convoy with Fitzy and friend and Sol and Alibida.

Saw this one from the car, so it was a nice quick find and then off for more Wagga caches while in town for the mega event. TFTC!!!

Found while in town for the OZ Mega Event - thanks RoostaMAN

Found over the OZ MEGA weekend, with rubai and linFox

Another interesting location. Not sure what goes on here but there's a cache. Upon replacing the cache we noticed some guy off in the distance staring us down. He continued to watch as as we walked off, so I hope the cache is ok.

Thanks, Jezzza Xtreme.

Found with Little Red Shoes attending Ozmega event - not many muggles about today at all. TFTC SL TNLN

Stumbled around in my geovehicle for a while sorting out an approach route but finally worked it out and found the cache. No one around. Nice hide in such a public area. SL. TFTC Roostaman

Found while in town for the OZ MEGA Event. Thought we had been muggled by the ground keeper, only to finally realise he was actually pointing to where the cache was hidden.TFTC
