Barton Highway Overview Nicholls, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By andrewbt on 31-Jan-17. Waypoint GA9885

I went to do maintenance on this, and couldn't find it.

Given there's been no finds for over a year.. I'm just gonna archive this one.

Foond on my way home from picking up FTF on the northside and a couple of others when I saw this one on my gps and had to make it 6 finds for the day. I pulled over on the side of Barton Highway, in the rain and darted up the hil got to gz looked around and there it was so jumped for joy, see attached photo - pretty hard taking a selfie while you jump!!!. tftc AndrewBT

I needed to stop for at least one GCA cache on a quick visit to Canberra today. Parked up the road a bit and wandered down to this and other nearby hides. Lovely day for a stroll, cache is in good nick. Cheers from Sydney.

Day 9 of our trip to Alexander. Day one Monday 6 November we went as far as Moree leaving Nanango Qld early. We stayed overnight. Day 2 Day 3 AND DAY 4 we stayed in Dubbo. Day 5 we stayed in Shepparton. Day 6 and Day 7 we were staying with relatives in Bendigo. Day 8 we travelled to Canberra where we will stay for Day 8 Day 9 Day 10 Day 11 and head to Alexander on Day 12.

Today is time to spend caching in Canberra. Next on the list. Arrived close to GZ and parked well off road at the start of the walk/bike track. Short walk along the sealed track then onto the unsealed section to the top of the hill. Saw the container from about 6 meters away lying out in the open. Approached the container and saw a good sized pile of sticks up against a tree. Signed the log then placed the cache back at base of tree with the pile of sticks back on top so that this one is no longer visible from the dirt track. TFTC ANDREWBT

Didn't know the Canberra Centennial trail runs through here. Cache found a bit too easily, out in the open... might have been moved by an animal. Moved it back to the obvious hiding spot and covered it up to avoid discovery. Thanks for the cache.

After lunch I headed up here for my last cache for the day. The track is more overgrown than last time I was up here, but it all went smoothly.

Thanks

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1529. Found during a small detour on the way home from work.

Keeping my GCA streak going - getting close to that next target of 90 days in a row - today I did the small detour on the way home from work to grab this one. Parked in a familiar spot and wandered up the path. A bit noisy here from all that traffic zooming by down there. Checked one area - nope. Checked the next - bingo - cache in hand. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and wandered back down to the car. Another neat cache find for myself and Clan Cerberus - Yah !

TFTC !!

Heading over this side of town and stopped off to try this. Sad to say it took me a good 5 minutes before spotting the cache......just one of those days I guess. Log was finally signed and I was back in the car and on the road again.

Thanks AndrewBT.....good to grab this one and not just driving past....

Lovely views for sure up here. Will have to do a walk one day but almost running late for work this morning so will have to wait.

Came by tonight and dropped a new notebook.

Heading to the shops shortly, and will grab some fresh notebooks. Thanks for the heads up BB & JAC!

Log book needs replacing as is very wet

A quick find here today with Black Bunny unfortunately the cache og is too wet for signing and could do with some tlc.

Thanks for the cache andrewbt

Out to grab a cache today with Just a cacher and this was the chosen target. Spotted on the approach to GZ as it was out in the open and the cache log was soaked. I have attached a photo as our proof of finding as the log was too wet to sign.

Thanks for the cache andrewbt

I found the cache open and the log on the ground, but both are okay, so I re-hid it. TFTC andrewbt.

#GA1335 - 18:55; I headed out on a Sunday afternoon mini mission and made this the first stop. Parked the geomobile and headed up the hill, where the iPhone took me close to the edge near the highway. Did a bit of a hunt around without luck, but as the iPhone kept moving around, I put it away and widened the search area. It wasn't long before I found the cache and a nice clean logbook! The hot weather must be having an impact, a *FTF* rarely takes a week in these parts TFTC andrewbt
