Geocaches In Boorowa, Harden, Murrumburrah & Wallendbeen

A day out finding geocaches in Boorowa, Harden, Murrumburrah and Wallendbeen. We headed out from home at about 9.30am and didn’t get back until around 4.30pm. It was a full day. 

Found a heap of them today and couldn’t find a few as well (Wallendbeen you suck). Started out in Wallendbeen then moved on to Murrumburrah and Harden then rolled on and found some more geocaches in Boorowa and finished by cleaning up a few in Coota. It was a pretty cold day but an enjoyable one. We finally managed to get up close to the Bill The Bastard statue in Harden-Murrumburrah. It’s very impressive and quite detailed up close.
