Finally, some time to go geocaching!

We went out on our first geocaching trip for six weeks this morning. We had a list of four caches that we wanted to find, all close to home. We needed three more finds to get to 50 finds on geocaching.com.

The first cache we headed for was Sydney Cache Relocated! (GC1F11). The idea of finding a nice big container appealed to us, as we've found quite a few large items during the house move that are suitable to be left in caches. As we got out of the car the rain started to come down, but we decided to push on. It was a nice walk down the track towards GZ. We made our first mistake by turning right instead of left. This put us close to a wire mesh fence, which we followed as per the instructions. However it turned out to be the wrong fence.

We then headed down into the valley, and this was where Mrs Sensible came to the fore. She'd read all the logs for this cache and had a look at the gallery, so when we got to the bottom and saw the tunnel, she knew where we had to go. After emerging from the other side, we scrambled around for a bit, then spotted a fence and some likely-looking twin saplings. Shortly after, we located the cache.

The contents were a bit of a disappointment. We'd expected a fairly well stocked cache, but there wasn't as much in there as we hoped, considering the size of the cache. With the rain still falling lightly, we signed the log, made our swaps, and headed back to the car.

With the weather staying wet, we decided to call a halt to our geocaching adventures for the day, and headed off to Bunnings to do some shopping (and have a sausage sandwich for lunch). The other three caches we'd planned to do will have to wait for another day. At least we're now one find closer to 50!
