Rosny Hill

Friday, 28 June 2013

Our ambition was greater than what we could achieve on this walk. This was partly brought about by the fact that the multicache took us on a circuit of Rosny Hill that we had already just walked. Those we didn't get can wait for another day.

Fire Up Bingo!

Sue spotted a cache then found in fact there were two for the price of one. We did not have this one down searching and realised when checking the web site map that it did not show up due to it being hidden behind the "Black Beetle" mate at the same coords. With this one we signed the log and put it back in the hide

Foreshore Track - Reflections Of …

This time there were no workers about and in fact it was all fairly quiet as we walked past. Quickly grabbed the cache and walked on a little, in case vehicles came past, to sign the login before returning it.

A geocache track took us down to the spot.

No More Mr. Nice Guy

We entered the Rosny Hill reserve from the western side and walked south round the hill, went to the top and then on to the start of this cache. Little did we know that it would lead us back round the circuit again. Sue worked out the puzzle details at WP2 and we took the hint help item. We thought it must be used for assisting with WP3 but of course was no help for that. Our struggling eyesight meant this one was hard going, but Sue eventually saw sufficient to allow us to progress. It was only after the final WP and the log signed that we noticed the back of the calculation sheet, supplied by the owner, had hints and that was what the cellophane was provided for. Anyway it was a good multi that kept us busy looking and trying to work each one out.

Was that you?

A bit of a search until a suspicious spot noticed

My Bike Ride

There is now a little geocacher track down to the spot, so that made it easier to get there.

Black Beetle

The GPS was telling us the wrong side of the road, but once moving over it was soon found. Black Beetle will be moved to a new spot soon. In the same spot Fire Up Bingo! was found, so two for the price of one.

DDTs Travelling Suitcache

This was in the location and covered as the hint mentioned. Quite a lot of items in the container.

Rosny Hill Trigpoint

Rosny HillCollected this whilst finding others in the area.

Salty off the rails

The GPS was telling us the wrong side of the road, but once moving over it was soon found. Salty will be moved to a new spot soon.

Turbo Coupe

A quick find and we will move this on soon.

Off to the Thumbs

Image
Wednesday 27 June 2012 Well the weather was just ideal for a bushwalk to the Three Thumbs and to collect a few geocaches during the trip. However, the geocaching part looked a bit shaky as Peter’s GPS did not display any in the area. A later check at home showed the records were on the GPS and when overwritten with a new copy they displayed OK; puzzling! All was not lost because Barad Bunch had notes on the caches and the grid on his GPS. This enabled us to locate the one near the cars. After morning tea at the lookout over Maria Island we commenced the walk to the Three Thumbs. Shady spots had plenty of frost but a fair bit of the way was along the tops of the main ridge and in the sun. Eventually we w ere on the highest peak, presumably the third Thumb and also what we presumed would be the hiding placed of the “ Three Thumbs Up ” geocache. But when Barad checked his GPS it indicated it was over 400 metres away on the peak previous climbed and descended from. Oh well that would have

Freycinet Bushwalk

3 – 5 October 2012 As we were going on a bushwalk to Freycinet Peninsula the potential geocache finds in the area were checked and several were close to our route. We went for three days, camping at Cooks Beach for both nights and heading down to a rocky peak beyond Passage Beach. Graham (Graham51) was with us although he took the longer return option over Mount Graham where he also managed to locate a cache on his journey. On the way back in the car we picked up a couple in the region. Top of the Pass Our first for the day, located by Graham, and although a few muggles were about none took much notice of us,   Half empty or half full ? We dropped our packs and with two people holding GPS’s and three heading to GZ it was surprising how little attention the muggles paid to our activity. One looked up for a while but soon turned back to look at the scenery elsewhere.   Blue Champagne Our objective for the days bushwalk was the southern peak on the Freycinet Peninsula above point Geo

Frogs and Water

We knew that " Swimming Hole " was a cache not far from home and finally decided to seek it. Earlier in the week we had picked up " Spot the Frog ", a moveable cache found under the Geocache Australia website and needed to deposit the little fellow somewhere. As frogs like water and this one had spent a few months on a dry hillside it seemed appropriate to lodge near a creek, so finding "Swimming Hole" was combined with the task. We could work out the starting spot even without a GPS and soon had the next stage entered in the GPS. Much to Peter's surprise it led us back down rather than up the creek and we ended beside a fence. A bit of searching and head scratching saw us give up for now and head off to lodge our little froggy. On return home Sue scanned through past logs and discovered several people also ended up where we did and then found this was several metres out. This has encouraged us to head back to the GZ soon and to ignore the GPS for on
