Unless I got the coordinates wrong, the whole area is surrounded by a construction zone. You can't get anywhere near GZ without passing danger signs.Maybe the CO can check it out and consider whether to temp disable the cache.
Found It!
Despite having a bachelor's degree in E&E Engineering, question A still caused me grief (just like it did in some exams years ago). Sometimes I wonder if my right hand could be the wrong way around somehow. Anyhow I easily narrowed it down to 2 options to choose from, so I had 2 locations to visit and at one of them I soon found the cache! Looks like this area is about to be turned into a construction site, not sure if the cache will survive that.

Puzzle solved during lockdown with the help of the yr 12 GeoTeen. Finding myself in the area today I swung past for a straightforward find at GZ.
Ants everywhere over the cache container but log is safe and sound.
Thanks, Fore!

Despite the road to this cache being “closed” we were still able to mosey up to GZ on our geocycle without any issues.
This was a nice puzzle that allowed us to use our University physics knowledge A lovely hide to boot. TFTC TNLN. The ants are still in abundance nearby.

A late afternoon cycle to pick up a handful of caches after the day's home schooling was completed. All up I cycled 23.5 kms over two hours until just past dusk.
I resolved this puzzle last night. A fun, interesting, easy puzzle just requiring a little research in the 20 minutes I had to spare. A quick and easy pick up on a most beautiful sunny spring afternoon. TFTC Fore!

My personal challenge this year includes ensuring finds per day totals 11 on my calendar and that I have a found at least one multi and one mystery each day of the calendar. Unfortunately I already have some gaps but I was determined that today would be completed. This was a good quick find as I already had solved the mystery and the coordinates were spot on. Thanks for this cache Fore! I love your caches. SL Oh there were masses of very tiny cache guardians!
Came out to look for this cache with DeadThief and all but one answer confirmed.
At least that left us with only four possible options. So worked through the coordinates until we had one close enough to spot a possible hide. Made the find, logged and replaced. Cheers.

Came out to give this one a look with Turtle284. We had solved the answers for all but one of the questions. But we decided to give it a shot as this only gave us four possible GZ locations. After arriving at the fourth and last one we could test we found the cache shortly after. TFTC and the puzzle
Had this coords for a while but everytime come pass this way keep forgetting but finally today got to it and found placed back where it belong TFTC Fore!
Very quick find with epzccc131 whilst clearing out some of the solved puzzles on our list. Loved the puzzle, TFTC!
Found with Kittykatch but our solving had the coords off. Not sure what happened but had to PAF to get to the bottom of it. TFTC Fore!
Out caching today with Joolay on an after work cache run. Had this one solved for a while but had trouble with our coords on arrival. Did a PAF to sort out coords.
Condition Report:. Good and dry

Had to recall my basic electrical knowledge from many years ago with a little bit of on line assistance. Parked by the gate and hoofed it in to GZ where I was soon signing the log. TFTC Fore!
A loooong hunt in the very icy late night air with Gliss! Coords sending us wild and all over the place. Would have taken 19 seconds in the daylight!!!! Will I ever learn to listen to Gliss! And her fondness for daylight caching??? Nah. Probably not thanks for the cache!
This one has been on my solved list for a few years. When the suburb development started, I despaired that it would be archived before I could find it. This one has really stood the test of time with the nearby area changing a lot over these past few years.
Tonight, Nibletricecakes & I needed a nearby quick find to keep her steak alive. This one fit the bill. It took us a while in the dark but would have been a quick find during the day. TFTC Fore!

I finally found the time to come and find this one after solving it such a long time ago, probably about this time last year. A fairly straightforward puzzle which dredged up vague memories from high school or uni when I learnt this stuff. It was a beautiful cold but sunny day this afternoon, perfect for a walk. I had a bit of time before school pick up so I parked over yonder and walked over the bridge to here. I was a bit nervous walking into this area but figured it was fine. A quick find at GZ. TFTP
A quick after work sortie of a couple of Belconnen caches, nicely grouped. No issues with this puzzle, other than the first question.... I had to think about it.
My third day in the ACT and my first full one teaming up with a few other cachers from Tasmania, South Australia and NSW. We toured around picking up solved mysteries, a handful of multis and one well favoured letterbox.
Thanks to all the COs which have put out caches for me and the rest of the community to enjoy.

I am currently camped at the showgrounds in Queanbeyan for the Mega event after travelling for the past 5 weeks or so on a rather circuitous route from Adelaide via Tasmsnia snd Victoria. Its beautiful autumn weather - great for caching and having a look about.
I joined up with a small group of other cachers from Tasmania, Victoria and NSW to find this cache.
Thanks Fore! for the puzzle and the cache.

Out for the second day of our Canberra blitz picking up puzzle caches that have been worked out for quite some time - some of them so long ago they've even been forgotten by this time. Anyway, this go around we flitted from suburb to suburb picking up park 'n grabs (or very nearly so) clustered around the northern end of the ACT. By no means a power trail as most were scattered here and there higgledy piggledy which turned into a slow moving day in terms of overall numbers but we were thorough and painstaking enough so that at the end of the long day we still managed to scratch our way past the sixty-cache threshold, which was about ten better than we'd hoped to do. A few finds turned out more challenging than we wanted but overall everything was found in short order and without major difficulty. Well done to the CO's on that score. Apologies for the copy n' paste logs - most puzzles deserve a few more words than this - but gathering in a couple hundred puzzles in a short span of time amounts very much to binging the area leaving little time to reflect on what brought us here. Not to worry, tho, everything has been well worth the effort, and will bring us back several more days before we're done. TFTC.
Another day spent ticking off solved Mystery caches in Canberra with 154Crows. It's been very rewarding to convert hours of puzzle solving into finds. This time around, we tackled the NW section of the ACT. Again, we had another big day - 61 Mystery caches (10% of remaining) with 0 DNF's!! Thanks to all CO's for their puzzles and hides (apologies for the generic logs).
It's Australia Day long weekend and Finalf29 is at Cancon, so... of course I'm out caching with AngelG27 in Canberra!!!! Win win for everyone
Last day of our Canberra raiding, but only had time to find some puzzles I solved yesterday.
I had to dig deep into my long lost HSC physics, but surprised myself with what I remember. At GZ I had to use a bit of force to uncover cache. Log full. Thanks

After a failed mission to join the crew doing the ‘BLACK OPs - Carpe Noctem’ (GC32WN6) cache this weekend due to being unable to get time off work (on Friday and Saturday) and other commitments arising, I did however sweet talk my way into having Sunday off. This then lead me to take a look around and see what was available within my free day to make it a day out. After taking a look around the GC and GCA caches, I found 2 events on the same day close to each other and I decided on attending them both. After this I took a look at what caches I could find along the way and made my trail to make it an enjoyable day out. Something I didn’t expect was, a FTF which was on cache GA13305. This added to the fun. TB visit on all caches today. I would like to thank all the CO’s of the caches I found and for the fun and enjoyment I had while finding them.
Today’s Totals: 44 Finds
2 Events
9 GC (GroundSpeak)
33 GCA
After breakfast at Macca's and before heading to the first event I went to, I quickly made a detour to find this one. A nice easy puzzle to solve and a nice easy find at GZ. TFTC

A little caching trip after work on my bike today. Very pleasant and lots of finds. First along a norther meander and after I lost the trail off to Lyneham and home on the big road.
I had solved this a few weeks back and it became one of my closest unfound caches. So I was happy to collect it today on my way home on the bike. TFTC and riddle.

First mystery cache good one to.take that muggles nice to get such a old one to. First two could not get off then it came obvious 25m
Solved this one a long time ago, but always miss the turnoff or end up in the wrong lane. Today on my return from a kids party, I parked at the fence and went for a walk to GZ. Spotted something odd from afar and quickly found the cache.
Thanks,
Thanks,
Took a wander out to retrieve yesterday but didn't find. So went back and realised one of my calcs was out. Redid that and made the find easy this morning. Enjoyed this puzzle - tftc!
Found on a lovely caching run in the north of town. I am very glad to have found this one, as this is an oldie and I always try and tick the oldies off my list. Solved this one using techniques from science class in high school, but only got the chance today to find it. I was initially quite nervous the way that I approached GZ, but even with passing security guards, it was all fine and without question. At GZ, despite my coordinates being slightly out, it was a very quick find - nicely hidden! Lovely little views from here. However, I did leave my pen in the car :/ - so a photo of the log is attached (with a Western Bulldogs bandaid, as clear proof that you toy hunters himself was here )! TFTC Fore!
Not good at this sort of stuff but after a bit of research found all answers but A. A was worked out by elimination.
I certainly need new maps of this area. Parked about 1.5 k from gz and walked up a hill where I could see some nearer roads to the gz. Back down the hill into the car and relocated only 400 metres away from gz. A bit of a wander through the grasslands to gz where found nothing till looked at the hint. Then an easy find. At gz was a nearby footpath which I followed back to car. TFTC.

Headed out on another lovely Sunday afternoon drive with AngelG27 to pick up a wide variety of caches. I found some puzzles I'd solved, my first multi and my first trackable which was all very exciting. It was a worthwhile trip for AngelG27 too!
Solved this puzzle a little while ago, everything was pretty straight forward except for part A which required a little more research.
This was the last find of the day, we were heading back via this cache and thankfully the gates were open! Initially looked in the wrong place, but spotted another potential GZ soon after. Still needed some help retrieving it though, my paws were certainly not strong enough! TFTC

Off to Canberra from Bendigo to celebrate Grandma's 80th birthday. Not a lot of time for caching but we were keen to pick up some long solved puzzles.
Our last for today and as we were driving past and the gates were open we couldn't resist. Our coords were a little wayward but logic prevailed.
There are lots of great caches in the area so thank you Fore!

The solution rang a bell, but the internet opened the door. An easy find in the end. TNLNSL TFTC
I couldn't be bothered going back to work straight away, so I looked for a nearby cache to find. This fit the bill nicely. TFTC fore!
Team work here, driving past and dty73 mentioned she had a mystery solved in here, so we drove in. Bit hard at night, starting to rain and gps is dancing itself into knots! So with dty73 solving the puzzle I was at least able to make the find. Thanks for the cache, nicely hidden.
Well, you learn something new everyday. Other than a science lesson in currents and magnetic fields, I also learnt that as flexible as my hand is, when I worked it the way I needed to for this puzzle it gets cramped up after a while. GZ was easy to access late at night, gates were open and no traffic to wonder what we were up to. Aquilus1 found the cache safe and sound. Tftc Fore!!!
F(H)ound It! #1647 - @2:21:20 PM
I knew I was coming out this way today so I had to have a go at solving this puzzle. I wasn't so sure about one of my answers - it had me doing weird things with my fingers and thumb. I was reassured by my solved coords showing GZ in a likely looking spot.
I left the exhausted Geohounds in the Geo-323 with the air conditioning while I made a quick find. Thanks for the cache, Fore!.

I wasn't going to go caching today, but after spending the morning solving the Mining for Answers series, I just had to go out and get them, then I continued for another couple of hours. I solved this one recently so made a beeline for it this afternoon. Easily found. TFTC.

Ok ... Decided it was time to finish solving this one, then I could grab it on my way home from work, for my daily find
So, at knock off time I stayed back to do that ... I had searched and found an answer for the first question, and knew that the others should not be too hard once I looked up the right info to tell me what to do ... but where did I write down the first answer? ... Oh well - will have to look that up too ... Think I remembered what the answer was, but wanted to check to make sure ... Oddly enough, I did not find whatever I found that gave me the answer really quickly last time, but I did find some info that led me along the right track and taught me something - and made the bit about Flemming actually make sense
Then I found the info I needed to know what maths to do for the rest ... Ugh maths?! ... hmmm .... didn't I download a cool looking calculator app a while back? - yes - one where I could scribble the sums with. Y finger and it actually understood my scrawls and did the maths - made it rather fun actually
So ... GZ I came up with looked feasible, (and not too far to duck down the road for something traditional for my daily if I find nothing here so I packed up and departed my place of work, headed for the area where GZ was, drove in, parked about where I think I needed to ... got out of the car and I probably could have parked 20m closer, but I was close enough - wandered up to where my phone said to go and ... Hmmm ... Oh - maybe there - yes - there it was
TFTC - I like a puzzle that is doable, but where I learn stuff (well - that is assuming I actually remember any of it

Got it. Yip Yah!! Nice Mystery. Access good, also under cover of morning fog. TFTC!
I've recently felt a need to work on a few more mystery caches, this fitted the bill, not to hard and a topic that I should know something about. I had a set of numbers in 5 minutes or so and the location made sense.
I dropped by on Sunday and was initially worried that the road was closed, no just more construction fencing madness. At the gz I headed for a likely spot.
Bingo. Very cool cache. Nice construction.
Another Fore cache that did not disappoint. I will be after a few more soon.
Thanks for the find. and a fav point from me.

Last cache for the day, and since this one seems to be accessible I thought I should quickly get onto it before it closes up again! Which is quite probable.
I used a certain tool to solve the puzzle as I am clueless with electricity and still am unfortunately since I got help from websites.
Oh well got to GZ and looked around a bit but found nothing. Read the hint and thought "oh its going to be one of these hides" My coords were slightly wrong but thats because I may have guessed the first question [8)] All good in the end, found the well concealed cache and signed the log!
Thanks Fore!

Just clearing out the NM attribute as this one seems to be reasonably accessible now...
After reworking our solution, we had a new set of coords not far away at all from our last. Managed to duck in today and immediately put our hands on it. Nice to have had a successful return visit. Thanks Fore!
Finally made it into the area today but our calculated coords did not look promising. Will have to recheck our workings to the puzzle. Thanks so far Fore!
Found 9:00 pm. Today I wanted to keep the streak going and I figured I would try to tackle some of the puzzles that I have still close to me. When I checked this one out I realised this was on an area of interest of mine. I ended up doing the three finger to the puzzle and calced the rest and I had what appeared to be viable coords. Along with previous comments it seemed to be in the correct area. Headed out with the geodaughter for company and found the gate open, I wasn't keen driving in so parked at the gate and walked in. GZ turned out to be pretty much spot on for the coords I calculated. Locating the cache was pretty much obvious given GZ and the fact I've seen others hidden this way. Mind you my first of this nature was in Holland. After signing the log returned cache back to its hide and then we ambled back to the geovehicle.
Thanks for the cache and a puzzle that is probably about right to still keep it fun.

As I slowly crawl upto my next milestone, I decided to head out today and clean up a few solved puzzles on the north side of Canberra.
This one has been solved for ages and Ive noticed the gate has been opened for a while so I decided to swing past today to make the find. Had to resort to the hint to have me in the correct location for a quick find. Log signed and I was on my way again.

(489) While driving past, I saw that the door was open. So I parked nearby and went for a short walk. The coordinatess appear to be at least 10 metres out (?). The hint, fortunately, led me to the hide, but I needed to whack the thing with a rock a few times to loosen it. After signing the log I returned things to the way they were, except that I left the thing a little less tight and therefore easier to open. But perhaps the elements will come into play and make it challenging for the next person.
I solved the puzzle over 18 months ago. I can still remember a friend helping me with the first question, as it contained a new concept to me.
Tks for the cache, Fore! Nice to finally get a smilie for this.

I had this puzzle solved in only a couple of minutes So after reading recent logs regarding the gate now being open, I decided to strike while the iron's hot and go and make the nab
Swung by after work to try my luck-and the gate was still open! You ripper! So in I went to GZ and it was on with the search. The nice quick find really capped off my evening! I was outta there just as quick as a blue alarm was flashing nearby Lots of big roos around GZ as well
Thanks Fore! the interesting puzzle and Fore! the cool hide!

Decided on a long day of caching in the ACT. and left home 3 am. Had a great day with 2 events involved as well. Lots of find and (unusually) lots of dnf's as well. Met some great people and the weather was at least dry today. Finally home and exhausted by 8 pm. Thanks for putting out this cache!

Targeted this cache as my daily find as it was not too far out of the way on my way home from work. I had also noticed that access to this area seemed to be available at the moment but was a bit nervous about heading in by myself. So with Geoman driving I was reasonably confident to try and make the find.
I tried a few options each further away from the derived coordinates, but I came back to the first place I tried and with a different technique the cache was in hand. Very happy to get this one off my solved but unfound list as it had been there for a while. No problems solving the puzzle as I recall.
Thanks Fore! the cache!

Found at 1:03:00 PM.
I have this on my watchlist and it seems that (for now) this cache is open for business. Today I also found the gates open and so wandered over to GZ and made a quick find. I still love these sorts.
From my notes, I see that I solved this is September 2011.

Fortunately I found the gate open and saw no-one about, so was able to get to GZ. The cover though was tricky to budge. TFTC Fore!
Playing catch-up on some long overdue logging.
I am reminded by Trodectus that we snuck past the previously closed gate and found this cache happily waiting for us.
The 'right hand rule' worked well, and I enjoyed using my electrical theory knowledge.

Easily worked out the co-ords, then read the two maintenance messages saying that it was fenced off. But I had a look on google maps anyway. I twice drove past yesterday and saw that the fence was open each time. Well, I may as well try, and it was an easy find. TFTC
...Just adding to the list.
The GZ is currently inaccessible, see previous logs - and I suspect due to this, the cache will probably be disturbed by now...

Got accurate coordinates, but appears to be blocked off for renovation reasons
Needs to checked out.
Needs to checked out.
We think that we had the right coordinates but where there were doubts, it would have only placed the cache a short distance away. When we drove to the area we found a very large tract of land behind recently erected security fencing as the first stage of a very large subdivision. GZ was totally inaccessible. We ask that the cache owner check this one out because, if we had the right (or nearly right) coordinates, this cache will be out of bounds for a long time. Thanks Fore!
#780 - 19:10; I had tried twice previously to bag this cache, but had come up empty handed both times. The location seemed right, but clearly there was something wrong. Tonight I rechecked the calculations only to find I had transposed a couple of digits! Having eliminated the error, gave it another try and voila, the cache was in hand, log signed and day 8 of the 31 days of caching had been taken care of. TFTC Fore!
A puzzle that had me puzzled. On face value it was easy. I couldn't divide accurately, which game me coords that were close but not close enough. Back home to ponder my issues. Recalculated everything and came up with one digit different. Back again and I still could not find it. The only problem could be A so by a process of elimination I found the cache. I clearly misinterpreted the explanation, and can see why I would do so again. On the positive side I made friends with an inquisitive cow that walked clear across the paddock to see what I was up to.
We're collecting some of our solved puzzles today, this been one of them, it was good to do a puzzle that is in reach, and without too much trouble, quick find to finish our day in Canberra. TFTC
Fore your information...I solved this one while solving some Canberra puzzle caches and today we made a bit of a dent in them. There sure are a lot of them to do in Canberra. Loved the adhesion to the theme here and a good one to cap off our day. SL..TFTC
Solved this one a couple of weeks ago, having to retrieve some long dim memories of high school physics to make my way through the instructions. Have been eyeing off GZ ever since, but always seemed to be going the wrong way. Today though I was able to come and find this perfectly constructed cache while enjoying some finds between errands.
Thanks again Fore! as always.

A day of puzzles and this was on matters I should well understand. Wasn't sure on the road access but the authorities drove past a couple of times without any interest, so must be ok. Thanks Fore!
Great morning of balloons and whilst swarming with muggles, we managed a very sneaky snatch and grab.
Very clever cache.
Very clever cache.
Thought we would sit down today and do a few puzzles caches. This one look a bit daunting but with the help of Wikipedia I now know a little about voltage, amps, resistance etc - cords were spot on. This keeps up our cache-a-day for January - this is a response to our pitiful effort in 2012. TFTC Fore
I wasn't sure of the coordinates and my GPS wasn't working properly, but the clue was extremely helpful and I spotted it from quite a distance away.

A little off the beaten track but another find to add to the pile. I took a guess at the location but the hide was pretty obvious with the clue. TFTC and a preety cool hide
Quick find today. Nice hide. Thank goodness for the electrical engineer in the family. TNLN SL TFTC
With two missing numbers we decided to use a little logic and look for it. 10 minutes later the cache was revealed.. TFTC
Solved this one a while ago, so while on an early morning walk (very cold) I made an easy find. A security muggle car drove past just as I was finding, and it was hard to look inconspicuous out here - they did not stop, so I hope all is good! I always seem to cause trouble doing Fore caches! TFTC
As I approached my 1,000th find I thought that I needed something that was special to me. This one fitted the bill. It was a puzzle (as opposed to the very easy trads that I usually find), its published coords are near to Newberys who introduced me to caching and it is a cache by Fore! who has provided many of the caches for me to find (and certainly some of the most interesting). I was able to do the puzzle quickly and had a good idea of what to look for when I got to the GZ. Found it as number 1,000. Thanks to Fore! for this one and all of the COs for the other 999 that I have found.
468. More school stuff de-dusted. Had to have a refresher course and came up with some coords that made sense. Arrived at GZ with coords a little way from the actual hide, lucky the hint helped heaps. TFTC.
We are getting closer to our 2000th find, so headed out today to get that bit closer. Marco loved doing the maths for this cache. He remembered Ohms Law but wasn't too sure about the Flemings rules. After much positioning of both hands and most of his fingers, and with the assistance of Google, an answer was arrived at for Question A. A quick check of the calculated coords on Google Earth had GZ in an area appropriate for this cache. We headed out and we quickly had the cache in hand right at the calculated coords. Thanks for the cache Fore!
Solved puzzle awhile back only to find when we got to where we thought was GZ was turned out we were wrong with two of our digits. Quick confirm with cache owner soon had us going in the right direction. Nope it ain't under the cow patties, thankfully! Thanks for another puzzle that worked the gray matter Fore!

Was visiting Canberra and grabbed a few caches with wombatatcrows.
I'd solved this puzzle before the trip, and it was rather pertinent as I'd learnt some of the knowledge needed some time ago at a nearby institution, which also happened to be where we headed for the next cache. A nifty hide, although it had been replaced a little off kilter previously and took some encouragement to reveal...

Found with Murf while he is on a quick visit to Canberra. #3 of 5 for the day. Interesesting hide.
As always when you actually start, it is always easier than you thought. Still took me a while to solve. Thanks Fore!
8461 Glad we had our Electrical thinking caps on, went through a short phase before we could wire up with the current InFore!mation.
Many thanks Fore! ...for a clever puzzle and cache, nice camo

hehehe - nice to have a puzzle that I could solve in my head when I noticed it on the GPS while passing the nominal coords! Those degrees were useful after all! Nice tie-in with the final location. Thanks.
Well done to Browngang for solving this puzzle back in Bonny Hills. We followed the gps into what seemed like the middle of nowhere at night. Once we reached GZ we all stood back and let Browny find the cache, and a very nice little hide it was too. Thanks for the cache Fore! and thanks to Browngang for doing the homework.
Found at 9.40pm GAFF5 in the company of Blackie_71, Browngang, Chewinprickles, and Robmc. Captain Tomato came back to assist in this night expedition.
Browngang was keen to find this cache as he solved the puzzle and wanted to make sure that he got it right - he did!
Thanks Fore! - a nice puzzle and a good fitting final location.

Cracked the code from Port Macquarie and couldn't wait to test my high school physics skills. The whole crew waiting in the darkness letting me make the find. Found on a night caching run out with pprass, Blackie_71, Robmc, Chewinprickles and Captain Tomatoe. TFTC
team effort as H worked out the coordinates
