we are in Canberra for the .mega and stopped here

We stopped by here while on our tour around Capital City today. Unfortunately we were a bit late to visit the centre but not too late for the necessary shot at 16:40.

Thanks Luckyl10n.

Stumbled across this listing by accident and realised I can log it!
I decided to choose my photo at the “In the Stream” artwork, which is very identifiable and certainly within the 250 acres which makes up the Arboretum! Thanks for this cache

Found while out exploring the Arboretum with an overseas visitor.

GCA 2,633. After a big walk today we decided to do a few 'drive-by' caches.

Love visiting the Arboretum, and so it was a fun stop to grab this Virtual.

Thanks LL !!

Fitzy_1965 and I came into Canberra for a bit of caching on International Caching Day. After climbing all over Mt Painter we decided to do some easy drive-by's to rest the weary legs.

Quick snap here today.

Arrived home this morning from a great couple of weeks away centred around caching. However I still had the need to grab another on my home from Woden so popped up here to take a photo. A gorgeous day and masses of people everywhere. TFTV LuckyL10n .

Snapped this one whilst caching in the area.

Day 12 Mainland trip
We visited the Arboretum to find the trig so picked up a few caches and this was one. What a view from the top. The eagle nest was fantastic. TFTV

I'm not exactly in the shot but you get the drift.

I took a selfie up here a while ago, while we were having coffee after a nearby flash mob event, but I forgot to log later. .. was here again today (meetup walk) so I figured I would just take another selfie and log it now (have stopped to do that while walking back through the cork oaks from where the walk started/finished, to where I parked my car - near another GA cache or 3 I am hopefully about to find
TFTC - nice place to come, I should come more often...

After a bit of a struggle at a nearby physical cache, I made my way around to the playground to get a picture.

Thanks
Albida

After the event today we came down here to have a bite and warm up like so many others and then we took a picture of the view to log this cache. TFTC LuckyL10n

Easy pickup after the Flash mob event. Tftc

Awesome place. The kids love it

First up this morning we headed to the National Arboretum and looked for a few caches in the area. We then went to the restaurant and met up with Sol de Lune and Luck L10n for morning tea. We had a very enjoyable time in a location with wonderful views back over Lake Burley Griffin and the surrounding suburbs. Our discussions ranged over many aspects of caching and then other things as well. By the end we had sorted out all the problems in the world - if only they would listen to us!! Before we left we went to the Pod Playground and took the photo required for this cache. Unfortunately the lens must have been dirty but the image is sufficiently clear to show that we were there. Thanks LuckyL10n for the cache..

Found on a great day of caching to relax after the end of test week at college. The 2nd cache I found in just minutes named 'The National Arboretum.' On the way out of the aboretum, I parked at the main carpark and took a photo with the entrance to the Village Centre - the location of my Year 10 formal, which brought back many great memories! Lovely place - with awesome architecture and views - that I always love to visit. TFTC LuckyL10n!

a nice day for doing some GCA caching. was going to go to the main building but turns out the arboretum was very busy, so I went up to dairy farmers Hill and got the virtual in front of Nest III.

This was my lunch stop on the way home from the snow. Never been here and have heard great things about this new parkland and facility. Just beautiful loved the bonsai.

Popped up to grab Dairy Farmers Hill trig, ended up doing a GCA cache nearby. Popped in here for a look. Believe it or not never visited here, despite it being opened in 2013.

I was here finding more of the HMAS series, when I spotted this on my GPS. Of course I wanted to log this too . However it was getting dark when I finally made my way back up the hill. Still it was light enough for a photograph. TFTC LuckyL10n.

Went for Sol's Guardrail cache, but some knob was doing some "professional" photography of a motorbike nearby, so off I went and found another cache, and while I was there, I saw this great shot of the vistors centre, so I figured it'd go well for this Virtual (I was going to get closer!)

Headed out this way during an afternoon of grabbing a few locationless. Parked in the best spot and grabbed a photo of the playground, with the Telstra Tower sitting nicely in the background.

Thanks Luckyl10n.....some great vies from up here.
