Study Time Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia
By Scenic routers on 24-Sep-05. Waypoint GCQP5B

bye

Since nobody has found in over 2 yrs, I'm guessing this one has been relocated. Definitely not to be found

Looks like loads of gardening has happened. Looked everywhere and no luck.

Don't think we studied hard enough Scored an F- on this one

A DNF for me.

No luck for me. May need looking into, it appears the gardeners may have recently done some serious pruning so scenicrouters might want to check to see if it still exists. The clearing means there is little cover from muggles too.

The Uni Maintenance people have cleaned out the GZ???

Found a likely spot but it's must be missing in action, cheers

No, not today I'm afraid.

Didn't search hard for this one because of terrible thorny plants nearby...pointless in bushbashing for this one. Thanks.

No luck here either

No luck for us here today. And we weren't really of a mind to crawl through too much undergrowth. We found what we thought were the right kind of trees but just couldn't spot the cache. We'll save it for another visit to Bathurst. Cheers.........Gaztek

A cache just outside a university! But this took me back to kindegarten when we got to pretend we were a worm or caterpillar, crawling along the ground. It was just easier to get to the cache that way! Anyway, it was found logged and sent on its way. Thanks

Found this one fairly quickly once we made it under. A nice quiet spot nearby to where some study happens. TFTC

Interesting university, and a bit of a bush bash too. Thanks Senic routers!

Nice easy micro near the university. This was our last one for the day out of 31. TFTC

Had cache in hand fairly quickly after a bit of bush bashing. Thanks.

Found with Bx U3A - nice and safe in its hiding place. Thanks for the cache.

If it rains much more the shrubbery and vines will take over. But we intrepid jungle explorers fought our way through the undergrowth and found the cache. Thanks.

What a battle! I'm scratched and possibly scarred for life!

Reperio at 1625. Had visited this one when last in Bathurst, but being at night I wasn't convinced that I'd searched everywhere thorough enough. This time I returned in the daylight, and came at it from a different way, and spotted the cache immediately. Don't you love that.

Gratias.

great cache thanks
took tb to move on

Loved this one!
enjoyed the battle
was excited to swap with what i think is a hungarain coin?

Just dropping in a travel bug looking for a little education.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 100 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, making a night run after the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) gave me a leave pass while she went line dancing. Parked, walked to the corner, beat around the bushes in the dark trying to find a way to GZ, and eventually made a fairly easy GAFF 0 find.

My find No 2921, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

Eventually found it after wandering through the jungle for some time.

In the area so decided to have a look at the time of year the hint might help (I'd had no luck on a previous quick look some time ago). Followed the GPS from several directions and eventually made the find. TFTC

This one is still holding up even after all this rain.

found this about 5 minutes ago, looks like it stood up to the rain. TNLNSL.

Cache is fairing well in the rain.

Dropped in in the dark looking for an easy find. Got covered in sticks and leaves but couldn't turn up the cache. I don't think the cache description is accurate in saying there is "nothing hard about this one".

Found night caching. TFTC.

This one required us to walk through a few spiders webs but we found it eventually. TNLN. TFTC.

OK This one was a bit tricky. At one point, it was like hacking through virgin jungle. We were a bit concerned about possible damage to the vegetation, but found the cache just as we were deciding to turn back.

Well hidden away from the gaze of the students in a hurry to get out of college.

Easy find while completing a round of Bathurst caches T4TC.

Found it No. 2349 ... what a maze ... took clamp and left keyring

I found the cache while caching in the area for the day. TFTC SL

Pretty easy .

Very easy to spot once we came in from the right direction

Found with ADAcache

Quick easy find while in town to visit family and spend a weekend of cache chasing.

A quick find while caching in the area after the big race. TFTC

Found this cache at 3:35pm while in Bathurst for a Morris Vintage car rally. The wattles were in flower and the entrance looked lovely.
Thanks Scenic Routers for the hide.
The Bushies (Team Booya).

Took a little hunting, but being night time, there were few muggles around to be seen. Cheers Gav [4202]

Took a bit to work out how to access it in the dark. TFTC.

There was amazed at the number of cars coming and going as I approached the cache. It didn't take long when I got to GZ and I was soon on my way caching through Bathurst.

Ah... the olde alma mater. I spent some time here many moons ago. Somethings havn't changed such as the footy field and the Towers accomodation which is about to be demolished, but a lot of other things have.
Thanks for bringing me back.
A quick find when at GZ... a great little hidey hole

Easy grab on Team Gotcha's Bathurst Blitz #1.. TFTC TNLNSL

First cache on day 2 on our Bathurst geocaching trip. The only problem was the wet grass and trees around, otherwise no mugglers around.

71 - Found without too much drama. TFTC

Nice hide TNLN TFTC

It was drizzling but not too bad, and the walk through the scrub soon had the cache in hand. On the way I went past a (dead) 2 metre high thistle! There was also a small bingle on the road as I was in there. As Bill Lawry would say, its all happening!

Found 10:40am. Tried to look official while exploring the garden. Plenty of cars coming and going. TNLN Thanks.

Found this one while doing the rounds with The Emongs. Nothing taken, but left scouts badge.

tn left mini mong number 2

In the area for a day of caching before the Oberon Event Day tomorrow.

Easy find on way back down the mtn

Found with Shell_Seeker on a rainy saturday afternoon. Good for keeping muggle activity down...TFTC!!!

Found with matt_stomper. A quick find and sign in the rain.

I thought HomeDG had enrolled it took so long....... but got there in the end
TFTC

The cloak of darkness wasn't even needed in the end.
Scuttling around on hands and knees this one turned out to be a humungous comando effort.
Got it in the end and moved on.
Thanks for the cache.

This one took a little while to retrieve but Homedg got the goods in the end, really was a commando effort, TFTC

Great little hiding spot. A satisfying find at the end of a busy day. TFTC

I found this cache on our Bathurst weekend with the Team Bananaphone crew of Ultra Violet Z, SuperJaz & Bewilderbeest. We had awesome fun on this weekend!

Oops, I'm a bit behind on logging my finds.

Thanks for the cache

A Bathurst invasion weekend find with the Team Bananaphone crew of Little Buds, SuperJaz & Bewilderbeest. We had awesome fun on this weekend!

Sorry, I'm a bit behind on logging my finds.

Thanks for the cache

Just as we arrived at GZ Mr Router showed up on his motorbike to offer some encouragement. Then we plunged right in and after much scratching around finally came up trumps. Perhaps we should have done some more homework to get a better idea of what we were looking for. TFTC

Bathurst Invasion Weekend. A short scramble in some pretty dense scrub. Good thing it was not too hard to spot. Thanks.

1363+13=1376 with Captain Tomato #43 of 92 on Bathurst Invasion Weekend

My first trip to Bathurst for 34 years – came up through Booroowa and Cowra and headed home via Oberon and Goulburn. Although with that many caches, my memory has blurred, I have come away with a great appreciation of the countryside and seen more of the towns than if I was doing my normal touristy thing. I have seen historic locations, scenic locations, fun locations, tricky micros, easy micros, evil micros – fantastic.

Thanks Scenic Routers - this was a bit tricky but CT found it in the end. I looked at the tree and thought - really?

Found this cache with SecretSquirrel-BJC on our Bathurst Invasion weekend. Had a great time meeting the locals and finding stacks of caches.

Looked in all the easy spots first, then decided to trust the GPSr.

We had barely arrived at this cache when we met our second member of the Scenic Routers team, Mr Router swinging by on his cache maintenance run.

Credit for this find largely goes to SuperJaz, who was prepared to plunge in deeper into the foliage to make the find. My contribution was limited to defoliating her hair afterwards

Thanks again Scenic Routers

Had a look at this one well after dark but had no luck even with 3 sets of eyes...

Parking was a bit restricted here (that's what all the signs say anyway) , so Fitzy ducked in to make the find. By the way he came out covered in 'nature', I guess I made the right decision.

Thanks again SR's, another one marked off the list.

1012 - Arrived in Bathurst for the Invasion and it was after the Mountain that we hit 'local' caches...

All I can say is that after getting covered in organic *stuff* I found the cache and we went on...

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found the "clue", but did not find the cache. Well, at least now I know where Charles Sturt University is.......

Crikies a cache bigger than a micro complete with a hint but still made no difference. Couldn't find the wattle altho one man's Dawson River weeper could be another's wattle. Did see the red chair. Wished it was still out in the open. I record my results on my mobile & the comment after this one was along the lines of "just had my 50th DNF". Still have crossed Bathurst off my list of places to visit so that's an achievement. Thanks.

Good little cache TNLN now more camoflaged in the same spot as was out in the open

A bit of a scramble for this one, some weird anomalies with GPS location, maybe underground electrical cables interfering.

back in town to visit mum

Found with Sandy Feet - I'm part of 'Friends'

Our last cache for our trip before heading back to Sydney, nice easy find and a chair to sit on and fill out the log.
Thanks guys
Found by Sandy Feet & Friends

Easy find before driving the mountain.

First find, without any sort of GPS help! Swapped a toy soldier for a Canterbury Bulldogs Card

Great cache. Found on a Bathurst assault. Bathurst is a great town and there are heaps of micros around.

2nd last find for the day. Geodad and Geomums thought we would have another go at caching in Bathurst. I must say Geodad is more worried about the GPS readings and playing with his PDA while the Geomums are out doing the calculations. Go the Geomums.

Cheers
Kirkster 23

Got it... With Kayls and Team Kirkster 23. Make note to self...Don't go looking for caches in fleece jumpers. Little sticky plant things are everywhere! Thanks for the find.

on a basketball weekend but the kids had to do this one as we were driving past 5 times a day. found a dead rat here too.

thanks

No problems. Went straight to it. The vines are growing well.

Geo wife has worked there for ten plus years. She loved it. Found by geo kid pupluck. Great hide. Like finding your hides.

TFTC, TNLN

Found by Mary & David at 1630. Glad this one wasn't a micro. Found after a short search. Our thanks yet again to Scenic Routers.

Found as part of the event cache - by Bluedog not Bronze

On a weekend caching spree with The Rats and Steeba.

#104 of 143 for weekend with The Rats and Hoojar1ARC.

TFTC!

Found with some assistance from The Rats.

GPS was all over the shop for this one.

But I'm logging it anyhow cause I found a golf ball and that was fun enough.

Thanks Rooter.

Found at 16:50 with herca, frogdude, Wasptor and Teglian - my thirtieth cache find on our Bathurst 24 hour Caching Event weekend.

I know heaps of people who studied at this place. The cache took longer to find than expected - would not be much fun at night.

Nice place though.

Thanks Scenic routers

Found on the 24 hr race event. a bit harder in the dark of night and when a security guard comes around to check on what you are doing. But we got it.
TNLNSL to be quick and get out of there. TFTC routers,
Roostaman.

Found with Winglen, I nearly when here but got accepted somewhere else, had to do a bit of searching for this one, but thanks for the visit
