Rankin Springs CORS Rankins Springs, New South Wales, Australia
By Geocaching Australia on 26-Aug-14. Waypoint TP6972

Found on our way back from Cairns to Tas.

Found on our trip around the Big Island

With a day off and only needing to pick up Swimmagurl from Griffith around 5pm, I decided on going the long way to find some caches. Many of these have been on the to-find-list for quite some time now, including the 2001 cache GC2F6F. I started the day by doing a maintenance run on my Different trail. Next I headed off to the Mid-Western Hwy to find the lone caches I haven’t found just yet out that way. When I got into Griffith, I attempted a few other caches that have been on the to-find-list. I found a mixture of both GC and GCA caches today with only one DNF which was on the last cache I attempted. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found for allowing them to bring enjoyment to the Geocaching Community. TFTC’s

Back in August of 2017, I stopped here on my way to Lake Cargelligo and found the nearby trad but I forgot to check if there was any GCA caches around. So I sadly missed finding it back then. Today, I have now rectified this mistake with a quick find here. TFTTP

I am travelling through parts of Western NSW in search of caches that will give me a DZ or an LGA. I am happy to say that this is one of them and a quick easy find. TFTT Geocaching Australia

Out on a road trip with LuckyL10n to grab a few dragonZones in outback NSW that we still had to visit including Bland, Carrathool, Lachlan, Cobar, Brewarrina, Walgett, Coonamble as well as grabbing a few caches in previously visited zones. A fun 3 days with over 2200 klms notched up along the way. A visit to the little town of Carinda which is famous for a visit by David Bowie to record a film clip for one of his single releases, was a bit of a highlight. A neat pub with great food and a good sort of atmosphere. Well worth the drive off the main road to check it out. At $55 a night the accommodation, while basic, was not too bad.

This was one of the many trigs we found while out and about. No issues here and the required photo was soon snapped.

Collecting finds in Temora, Bland, Carrathool and Lachlan dragonZones and counties along the way. No problems grabbing a snap here. TFTC Geocaching Australia

Adelaide Trip. May 2021. Day 10. This was the last day of the trip away, and it took me from to Hay to home via Rankin Springs and Cootamundra. I climbed a hill I have been avoiding for years and arrived home with plenty of time to unpack before dark.

A quick stop to get an image for this CORS.

Thanks

After work today a new cache alert came. Only just over one hour drive along long flat straight country roads. Yeah why not. Paused to claim this CORS on the way home.

I didn't need to leave the car to photograph this. TFTC.

A long weekend brings with it a weekend of camping and caching. fitzy_1965 and I decided to do a loop from Goulburn out to Naranderra, Griffith, Condoblin and back home so I could pick up the last few counties out that way.

Today was heading from Griffith to Lake Cargelligo which turned into Condoblin. Quick park and snap then decided to stay for lunch.

I was about to say it's like stepping back in time to see this old style hall then I realised I'm older than it ....! Another CORS for Showdown 2019.

Found by baby&Mrs gopher. The antenna is above the Community Hall on the left side of the building.
