Aero-Vale

Aero-Vale (GC17C) was published on 1/16/2001 – making it the “oldest” cache we have ever visited, and definitely one of the better ones we have seen. It was hidden by Rob and Kazz.

Most people probably aren’t even aware there is an aerodrome at Warnervale – and what a perfect location for a cache, that is surprisingly quite out in the open, and yet seems to survive the test of time exceptionally well.

This is well worth a visit. The find it pretty easy, and the nostalgia is great with the old DC-3 laying in a lonely open field nearby.

Great spot for photo opportunities here. 

Thanks for bringing us to this great spot that we’d probably otherwise never have bothered to check out, and what a cool old airplane!

Regent Street

Regent Street (gCY5AF) is another in the Monopoly series of geocaches by cphoenix.

We’ve managed to pick up quite a few of these now. This one is listed as a “micro” – but I’d personally call it a small cache because, despite the size of the container – there was room for a few small swaps – and of course, the Monopoly card itself.

Wolfie lands on Regent Street. Rent Owed.

This was a nice, handy, and relatively straightforward cache. There’s even a freeway exit for both north and southbound access very close by – so a great “park-and-grab” style geocache for anyone traveling between Sydney and Newcastle.

Thanks for the cache!

Twins North

What better way to spend Australia Day than to go out for a spot of geocaching on the scenic Central Coast. Our first stop today was northbound on the F3 freeway where we visited Twins North (GC131DA) – a medium sized cache by the bower birds.

Twins North is so-called because it is near one of the two (twin) service centres on the F3 near Wyong – this being the one servicing the northbound traffic. It is a popular place for truck drivers to stop and have a rest – with there being ample parking for trucks.

A little homework was required for us to inconspicuously leave the car vehicle area and plan our way across the vast expanse of the truck parking area to the track that was to lead us down to the cache.

Power Wolf

Before too long we closed in on GZ and walked in circles a few times, sniffing out for the cache until one of us eventually spotted it in fairly plain and easy sight. We must have looked right at it a few times – always seems to be the way!

Diesel Dog

On our way back to the car, Wolfie wanted to get his photo taken sitting on one of the truck trailers parked nearby – so we got this great shot of the little fella.

Time to continue our caching expedition.
