Found at 1450 while travelling South. Picked up a spikey hitchhiker on the way in but managed to dodge the spikes on the way out. thanks Cruzzzinaround.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 96 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, and made a fairly quick and easy GAFF 0 find despite the coords being 6 metres out.

My find No 2881, LCC, TNLNSL, grabbed BAABARA TB (ref = TBGE7F), dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

Rated: for Overall Experience

A delightful, cactus and cobbler peg filled stroll
How do those spines get through leather boots ? Ouch !!
The cache was a nice easy find and in great nick too
With the log book filled out and BAABARA travel bug dropped in I was off to find the other nearby cache
But that's another story.

A good find while on our way to Dubbo. Be warned of all the prickles, we spent more time picking them all out before getting back into the car then actually finding the cache! Liked the container. TFTC

Found with DrDroid, Tentacles and KRanger girl.
My 9th find for the day.
My South African Muggle friend got beaten up by a cactus. Fun day. =D

Not my favourite place of the day, but most dramatic... Welcomed by a cactus launched off Tentacles shoe and into my leg. Ouch. Left wounded beginners behind to then be distracted by local landmark. Nice to explore it anyway, though not even safe from the cactus there. Was entertained by a Bear Grills impersonation being interrupted by unsuspecting birds in the nearby grass taking to flight and scaring us both. Who knew Bear was scared of pidgeons Covered in prickles, itchy and a few owies, a ready end to a great day.

Hehe my favourite cache of the 9 i found today!
Please do take warning to the cactus though as it hurts!!
Me being a perfectly coordinated teenager had no trouble but
my South african friend who was coming with us for the first time was different.
After about 60 metres he got one stuck through his shoes and into his foot.
He pulled the main thing out but one spike remained in.
Eventually he heaved it out but with much pain and blood... well not so much blood
just a drop or two.
Please be careful and TFTC

Found with Tentacles & K Rangergirl.
Our 9th of the day (a new record) and our toughest thanks to some nasty cactus.
They're tough enough to go through your shoes & those fine ends get stuck in.
The old bridge turned out to be a distraction - albeit an interesting one.
TFTC.

Found at 3:40pm, nice easy find, left geocoin. TNSL TFTC - crazy Geodaughter.

This was our 3995th overall find.

Found at 4:31 PM. After the last cache I was sent out to get this one but I was watching out for spiky plants. The cache was found quickly and then we were off again.

Thanks Cruzzzinaround for the cache.

TNLNSL

A quick find. Although others have warned about the cactus we both dropped our guard and came to grief. They are in clumps of strings like green cheerio sausages covered in spikes about 2cm long. They break off when you come in contact and I reckon the spikes go in about 5 mm OUCH. So beware.
Thanks Cruzzinaround

Found on a mega caching trip to Dubbo

Found at 14:35 with frogdude - the thirteenth on our trip to Dubbo.

Not a lot to report here - much easier to access than the previous cache, and a quick one to find. The traffic went quiet too, so a good score all round.

Thanks Cruzzzinaround

5th find on my Dubbo/Nyngan trip in fading light.
Watch out for the low prickly cactus things folks, very hard to see, but very sharp
Able to drive within 30 mts of cache
TFTC dogtired

Found by Mary & David at 1105. Plenty of birds, lovely old trees and lots of history. Collected 'Rocher Percé TB HOTEL LOVER' geocoin. Our thanks to Cruzzzinaround.

Good spot for a cache, can get close to it with a vehicle, unlikely to be found accidentally, and it has history attached. Dropped off Quebec Geocoin hoping it will move quicker than where I found it. Took nothing. SL. TFTC

found it , Was an easy find close to the hwy.TFTC TNLN

'Dropped off' Pinto TB for Cruzzzingaround to 'pick up'.

I couldn't look for this cache earlier in the week because I had to take some work colleagues with me to Narromine. Once there I could have run into any one of a thousand people in town but guess who I met? Cruzzzingaround!

I dropped in later in the week on the way home and parked on the old highway only to be surrounded by hundreds of sheep and under the watchfull eye of the cocky. No option but to have a cuppa and wait till they slowly moved on. A friendly wave to the departing cocky and the cache was mine. Thanks Cruzzzingaround. Good to meet you mate and hope to see you caching down our way soon.

A nice quick find on the way to Narromine for rugby. SL TFTC

A nice easy find just off the old highway.

Heaps of prickly weeds around. We found the cache, and carefully picked our way back to the car.
TNLN, TFTC

Found this one after a bit of a search. Not where I expected it.
Good on Cruzzinaround
TNLN
Thanx

Great place to hide a cache. Interesting old bridge to photograph.

This was our second cache of the morning on a bit of a cruise around before we started work this afternoon doing the fireworks for the Dubbo Monster Truck Show. This would have been a great place for an inn and to water the horses, we passed the New Mexico geocoin through on it's way up north
Thanks again Cruzzinaround for the cache

Had a quick stop to locate the cache, and the nearby SCC#3. Cheers!

Innamincka 08-16. Another old crossing and a great place to hide a cache. Thanks.

0920 re-logging due to name change

920 It's amazing how quickly mother takes over again with old roads and bridges and this one is a good example. Quick find. TFTC Cruzzzinaround

First cache for us and an enjoyable exercise. Didn't take anything but paid for the experience by leaving a 10c Hong Kong coin and a note from Grammy and Grumps.

very nice green container!

It was so easy I want to say we found a container but it was not the cache but at last we found the cache.

Thanks for another great reason to just stop and see the local area up close.
JABs.

Nice spot. Found after a short search. TNLN. Thanks Cruzzzinaround

Nice easy walk and a quick find. Took a keyring and left T/B Patches.

easy find pull up on the way to narromine for this one
thanks for the cachs will be back to look around tnln

Found the cache after just a few minutes searching. However no sign of the TB Honeydew-Melon.
Took Aussie flags, left yellow eyes.

Found the geocache, and got a foot full of pickly pear.

good spot left mint box took 8 ball

We rescued a parrot trapped under some chicken wire whilst walking into this cache so we figured that earned us a few karma points. Sure enough, the cache was right where the GPS told us to look and we were soon back on the highway. The flies did drive us a little batty though! TNLN.
(no sign of a TB in the cache...)

Finally found this... second attempt tho, both times in the dark! Have to do these in daylight and take in the surrounds. Took Train stickers and left Yoyo. Thanx.

Easy find this one as it was partly uncovered. TNLNSL, and covered it back up. Cheers.

Nice area. Would love to have had the time to explore a little but sadly ran out of time and it was a quick in and out. Took TB Left TB.

cache check... Dropped banana head of here a while back after his visit to western plains zoo dubbo 30Th birthday ..Then he went to sydney to visit toronga zoo but we ran out of time bought him back home with us ..we lost the t/bug number had to retreive it again to log this little fellow ,,

With Riblit, a nice quick find, love the history of the area, Left Riblits Glasses took nothing.

Found on the way back from Narromine after visiting Sugar Glider. No spiders to be seen but there is a pair of glasses somewhere nearby.

Can't remember the date exactly, but it was a while ago we found this one. Hunter beware of the HUGE spider that resides on the ground right where you need to stand to retrieve the cache. He's a social one, pity he's just so damn ugly! There is a story. No, I'm not going to share it!

Thanx for the cache, very interesting spot. Loved the map in the cache too, although didn't hang around to look for too long, the eight legged freak was around somewhere and I wasn't all that happy about being in his company.

Kips(muggle mate)and i chased thin down on our way out to Camerons corner and Innaminka.
Thanks
Acko

Found relatively easily. Its amazing that there are 3 generations of creek crossings here.
TNLN
Thanx

This is what we came for! Virgin plastic! This is a top cache with lots of history to be had all around.
Thanx for the hunt keep up the good work!
