8th Attended Ropes One word sums it all up - fantastic! ...and apologies to all the parents whose geokids now want a canoe for their birthday!
4th Attended bshwckr Great to finally meet all the "Names". It felt like catching up with old friends, whom I had never actually met!
Thanks for the event.

3rd Attended team stilllookin Well Webbie you done it again, wonderful people, great weather and a fantastic spot. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the fact that we didn't get a chance to get around to meet everyone due to our late arrival. Looking forward to next years event already.
3rd Attended Usat31 The Usat31 crew made it up the mountain for our 2nd Autumn Caching event - thanks again Webbie & Family for organising yet another wonderful day.

It was great to catch up again with familiar faces & meet a few new faces as well - it's a pity that you don't get time to chat properly to everyone.

A great day, great people & a thanks again to all who we chatted to.

Cheers.


3rd Attended The Hancock Clan A super event! We had a lovely day out, and what a good turnout too. Great to meet up with so many friendly familiar faces and also to meet others that we haven't yet met. The weather too was wonderful! (Well, every day's great weather nowadays!Cool)
Thanks to Ropes for the canoes, setting the fun challenge, the prizes, and of course for keeping the kids entertained!
Thanks also to Team Webguy for organising the event, for booking the weather, for the Chinese chefs, and for the left-over pizzaWink.
Took a TB & a coin,
The Hancock Clan
3rd Attended ruffasgutts4x4 Only a D1 & T1 ? This time the difficulty factor getting to this one was harder than a broken nose for us with sporting committments and so on but with a good win at footy under our belts we made it there, and though a little late, still got to catch up with some familiar faces and put some names to some other faces. Great to see such a good turn out, now to have another crack at some of those unfinished caches!
(Many Thanks for that you know who you are). Cheers Webby another fine event we all had a pleasant time. Missed out on Ropes canoe games but still caught up with some old friends Many Thanks.
3rd Attended foundem what a great day . good weather and great company.

finally put names to some faces .

and of course thanks to webby for the event

cheers foundem
3rd Attended Shifter Brains Another great event organised by Team Webguy, the weather was great also. Glad we made the effort to travel the extra distance to attend this one.
Thanks to Ropes for providing the canoes, for the navigation challenge (even though we didn't do it), the geokiddie enjoyed the paddle in one, and watching the efforst of others was also amusing.
We enjoyed catching up with some familiar faces and meeting new people, and of course the inevitable caching discusssions and stories.
Looking forward to the next event.
Thanks for organising the day.
3rd Attended Altaire A cracker of a day and an excellent get together, it was good to see you all. Thanks to Ropes for the aquatic navigational exercise. Big thank you to Webby for the organising of another great autumn event.
3rd Noted Smelly Boot Dropping off TB's.
3rd Noted Smelly Boot Dropping off coin.
3rd Attended Big Matt and Shell Wow, what a day! We didn't want to leave but the drive home wasn't going to get any shorter...

First of all thanks to Webbie for another great event, the second one of which we have attended in our caching history and we managed to separate them by 900 finds. Today's event brought up the magical 1k mark for us! We did run a bit late as we had to get 3 finds before we could attend the event!

The weather was great, I could have almost had an grandpa nap in the sun it was that nice. We had a ball swapping stories, cache notes, software and hardware solutions, and even got some tricky ideas for caches. (The Canberra caches are not going to like The Hancock Clan after I use one of their ideas!) As always it was good to catch up with some of the old faces and good to speak with some of the new ones, also to get feedback on our caches from others, thanks! There were even some very committed Bathurst Cachers that turned up mid way through the day after a huge run down to the South Coast and back!

It was good to see the Doc and Nay out with young Isaac, odd not to see him with his microphone though... Both of them look like they are at least getting some sleep.

Thanks to Ropes for organising such a good challenge, is Shell and I had of been in slightly better health then I would have given it a go!

As usual there was a good selection of coins and TB's on offer, somehow I managed to end up with the &%*($& key TB. Might go well in SDB's Spacey Cache! There was even a nice selection of different cache containers that were free to good home, we took a few and plan to get them out in the near future!

We hope to see you all again next year, if not in between!

T: Keys TB, Cat TB, Lifejacket Coin
L: Half a dozen coins that we found over the last two days!

Thanks again Webbie.
3rd Will attend Smelly Boot We know this is a late late log, but having just returned from a trip down to the South Coast we are just in time for this one. Who needs sleep! Count us in for 3 but we won't be there til early afternoon (maybe just a couple of hours of sleep!!!).
3rd Noted Lucy & Roo Hoping to get away early from work for this, but I'm still there, it is just not going to happen today. Hope you all have a great day.
3rd Attended tronador What a fantastic day. I really enjoyed meeting up with some old faces and getting to know cachers I'd never met before.
It was great to put a face to the owners of some of my nemesis cache finds.

Lady Altaire and I had fun paddling around the lake in the time trial. Next time we will pay more attention to the rules and circumnavigate the "buoys" not the course. Nevertheless,being kayakers we did a great time.
Thank you Ropes for the generous "prizes".

And a big thanks to Webguy for organising this once again and at such a beautiful location.

Rated: for Overall Experience
3rd Noted Big Matt and Shell Coin drop! The others have already been grabbed!
3rd Attended The Spindoctors Thoroughly enjoyed making our way up to the annual event. It was Zac's first geocaching adventure and he behaved very well. Maybe next year he'll help out with the time trial.

Good to see some familiar faces and a few new ones also.

Once again the weather was PERFECT. You must have a line direct to the big man upstairs Webby.

Looking forward to attending more of these Autumn events in the future.
3rd Attended Wing Nut As usual this was a well organised and thoroughly enjoyable event.

It was good to catch up with the regulars, and meet the surprising number of "newcomers" to this annual extravaganza.
I especially enjoyed examining the beautiful scrap books and lovely coins from the "Altaire Collection". (I even found time to make an entry in the scrap book.)

Thanks to Team Webguy for organising the event, and thanks to all who attended for making it such an enjoyable day.

Special thanks to Ropes for providing the water craft, and completing endless circuits of the lake to make this a special day for the kids. "Little Miss Wing Nut" had a great time and now wants a kayak.

Cheers,
Wing Nut.
3rd Attended homedg Perfect weather, perfect people, a perfect event.
Was great to catch up with everyone and meet some new people.
Great one, thanks Webbie.
3rd Attended Smelly Boot Well we got there (eventually). Didn't get a chance to meet everyone but got the chance to put a few faces to well known names. A big thanks to Team Webguy for organising this event - next year we'll be more prepared and get there on time.
Thanks again.
3rd Noted homedg Great weather, great people, a great day.
Same as everyone else said.

2nd Will attend team stilllookin This is a bit of a belated will attend notice, but we just didn't know what was happening with our other commitments on the day. We have organised our selves such that we will be arriving fairly late, BUT we will be there.
Hopefully most of you will not have left by the time we arrive as we are looking forward to catching up with the familiar teams and meeting the new teams as well.
We also hope that we will not miss out on Ropes challenge.
Anyhow must fly, we will see you all there.


PS Mr Router has kindly volunteered to drop our coins, bugs etc off at the event since he will be there early, so a big thank you to MR Router as well.

1st Noted Alpini Dear all,
finally I can not participate as anticipated earlier.
I wish all of you great fun and the organisers that it is not too much work.
Really would love to join, but may instead I get the chance to get a find in UAE.
See you in about a weeks time.
All the best
Alpini
1st Noted richary I am off to Roxby Downs in the middle of South Austalia on Tuesday for work and there are a couple of caches up there. So if you have any TBs that want to get seriously remote pass them on to me on the weekend. Otherwise I am going to be spending a few days in Adelaide afterwards to catch up with friends so if any need to get there I can oblige as well.
1st Will attend Rikki I'll be there. Not sure how many of the rest of my mob will be there though. Looking forward to it.

Hope to see as many as possible.
Cheers.
