Gosford Travel Bug Exchange
This location is officially known as “Gosford TB Exchange (AKA Haemorrhoid Creek)“. Don’t let the name put you off, but what I do recommend if you come here – take a look at the satellite view (e.g. with Google) and determine the obvious and easy way to get to it.
Thankfully, one of our pieces of equipment is a 3G iPhone – so that makes satellite viewing while on the road a breeze (providing you have reception). I don’t want to make things too easy for you – just don’t do anything stupid and dangerous – like stop on the Freeway, or stop on the Off-Ramp for that matter. Look at the Satellite view and you’ll find an easy and obvious path.
It was a nice walk down to this little oasis in the middle of what is essentially a freeway interchange. On our way we noticed some recent footprints. Another geocacher, perhaps?
There’s a bit of a dam, and a few rocks to easily step over to the other side of the creek.
Finding the cache wasn’t too hard once we got a good GZ indication. We’re only new to caching, and this was our biggest cache find to date. A nice ammo box. And it had some amazing quality goodies inside.
If you’re into geocaching, and a regular traveler up and down the F3 – be sure to check this cache out. It’s got quality stuff – just waiting to hitch a ride with you. Best of all, it’s an easy exit from EITHER direction, and easy to continue your journey in EITHER direction on the F3 – so it makes it an ideal exchange location that’s about half way between Sydney and Newcastle and servicing the hub of the Central Coast.
