While on holiday with my daughter, visiting my sister and her family in Dubbo, I decided to stop on the way to the Blue Mountains and find a Geocache for a quick break.

I had my iPhone 3GS on the dashboard monitoring the area and found a geocache not too far from the main road, so our deviation would not be too much on the long trip.

I parked the car and got out with my daughter.  We headed up the slope along a well-worn track towards Ground Zero.

We soon found a pile of rocks and quickly discovered the hidden treasure.  I stickered the log with my Two Goth Geeks “Found it” sticker and signed it as well.

I took some photos of my lovely daughter standing on the rocks and she hopped on my back for a piggyback ride back to the car.

She decided to be the GPSr and pointed the direction for me to walk back to the car.  She really loves Geocaching.. or “Treasure hunting” as she likes to call it.
