As we entered the school holidays I converted my “mommyvan” into an Airport Shuttle, volunteering myself to shuttle friends to the International Airport on Saturday morning – of course, in the back of my mind was the ‘free’ trip home, so I checked with Jen it was alright to ‘take my time’ before I left…
The past few weeks I’ve been busy doing other things, but fortunately those other things lent itself to a few caches on the side…. Unfortunately as far as caches I have left to find on the Central Coast is concerned, it’s few and far between these days. If I had known (or listened more carefully…
As we marched into March, in the metaphorical sense ‘life’ began to settle down into 2016, and in the literal sense, we headed off to Mardi Gras – our family’s big day of celebration each year. Mardi Gras brings 100’s of thousands of people into the streets of Sydney, in all manner of glitter and…
Within Australian toponymy, it’s common to find place names where the name is repeated, for example Woy Woy or Wagga Wagga.

With the list of nominated caches for Cache of the Year out, I had a number of them still to find – as a result, much of Novembers’ geo-outings focused on at least some of them… I didn’t quite manage to see them all before the November 30 deadline, but I think I gave it…
October 14th marked my 2nd cache-iversary. A while back my intention was to make my thousandth find on my cache-iversary, but that milestone came and went a little earlier… So with that goal reached, the date almost nearly passed me by altogether without a thought for geocaching – until I was driving home from a…
Day 6 (25th September 2015): Melbourne Caches found: 3 (#996-998) This day was spent just hanging out in Melbourne city, and while we wandered I managed to collect a couple of traditional caches along the way. While we were in the city, I looked at a couple of the nearby ones up the side…

The first phase of our adventure brought us to Canberra, to visit the big bro and family, and see the sights and delights the capital have to offer…. While the purpose of our trip is purely recreational,…
