I was in Goulburn for an afternoon GC event, and decided if I was driving all the way out here, I may as well find a few caches before I head back to Canberra. After getting way too distracted with exploring/looking at stuff (half the fun of Geocaching) looking for a GC cache and not finding it, taking a selfie at an interesting CORS trig on a school building, getting fuel at the cheapest place I could find (and well worth finding it instead of just being a sheep and getting fleeced at the big stop near the highway), doing an easy GC Multi, and a GA Trad, nearby - it had got dark - so I decided that rather than my original plan to go back to the middle of town and grab a couple of virtuals and maybe an AL, it might be fun to come down this way to grab this one, then go across a bit where there are a few more GA caches (so I can have a few shots in the current Battleships game) then head down the highway and collect whatever GC and GA I have not yet "collected" at collector ... but I am not sure I will find that many around here,et alone down the Highway, seeing I spent so long finding this one, and it is now after 9pm! (and there is a howling gale outside my car - lol - and it is starting to rain)
TFTC - I looked for ages, had fun poking around in the interesting looking bushes - so I was thinking that if I couldn't find the cache, then - rather than all the distractions while caching being half the fun - in this case, they would have to be all the fun ... after about the 5th "I might just have one more look here before I go" and my GPS settling while I read some previous logs, and telling me I was 1m away, I figured I would have a bit more of a look, and maybe "have a closer look at that ____ just over there" ... and found the cache Smile
hmmm ... 2 or 3 years of unlove there ... and yes, it is very well hidden - tucked away safely in its ground level hidey hole, in good condition. pity I didn't have a better look there a lot sooner ... I had dismissed that spot, thinking it didn't match the hint ... but I guess it actually does - just wasn't the hint usually given for where/how it was hidden, so I was looking everywhere else - lol
