WesternSydWanderer did a good job to find this one before we went to the theatre. Thanks for all your caches Tankengine - we enjoy them!
Thanks! Was a little hard to find at first cause it was so bright, but found it in the end!
TFTC Tankengine. Finally able to avenge this one. Have looked one or two times before. Down from the GC for a few days. F from me.
Out for the day with DARKSIDEDAN and C10A to get as many points as possible for the Cosmic Quest. Logs signed DQ10. Thank you to all of the local geocachers who are absolute legends for hiding these caches!
needed the hint, but it was a fun find while out with the geokiddies on a warm spring afternoon.
Bisoutje and I are on a roadtrip with a campervan between Cairns and Adelaide and have now touched ground in the capital Canberra.We scheduled for 1 full day here to be able to see and experience the city. It was a cold day but the many interesting Geocaches we found during the day made up for it. We saw many interesting buildings and enjoyed walking through several parks and along the river. This was a quick find with help from the hint. TFTC!
My first in Australia this year, and my seventh continent to find a cache this year (that won't happen for me again). TftC.
Caching day in Canberra I arrived last night and got the virtual at the airport which gave me a cache in very state and territory in Australia in 5 months. So today was all about numbers wont know untilI complete my logs how well I did but I walk 19.5 km. Off to my event soon TFTC after 6 hours of walking I trip up the stairs on this one and a bandaid was required
There was a bit of a break in the cold spell today and the sun was out much earlier and things warmed up, even though the temperature only got to 13 degrees. We had been keen to ride our bikes round Lake Burley Griffin so today was the day. We only made it to the Farmer's Market on our first attempt then had to return to the van with our purchases!With that done it was back out to firstly catch the tram into town and then the ride round the lake. On our way round we picked up a variety of caches, trads, multis, puzzles and quite a number of Virtuals. Some were straightforward while others challenging.Lunch at the National Portrait Gallery was welcome. We made it home just as the sun was settingThank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Tankengine.**SKI Pair****
I came out for a run with a work buddy to introduce him to caching. This was a quick easy find (at night). The 2nd of several finds of the night.Greetings from Oxfordshire, England.Find number 1910
One of the reasons I enjoy caching is it takes you to areas you don't usually explore; such as never noticing this bridge before. TFTC
TFTC! we had to abandon this one as there was a mini photo shoot happening on the bridge and we kept getting side-eye while we were searching so we swung back around after dinner for a quick find
Had to avoid some models utilising golden hour... came back later after food and a wander, and stef found it in 4 secondsTFTC
With a D1T5 CITO on in Canberra I decided that today I would do a day trip over. Johno, why didnt you just stay a little longer over there after the Geobash? Because I had things to do at home and wanted some time with my [muggle] family and friends during my annual leave. So I made my way over there and after having breakfast, I headed off to go Geocaching. Due to the bad weather, I decided it was going to be a great day to find those caches within high muggle areas. It was a great idea because there wasnt any muggles around. Yes, I got very wet throughout the morning and once it was about 1pm I started to dry off, because the rain stopped. I then found a couple of more caches before heading to the CITO. Once at the CITO, it was great fun cleaning up the pond and catching up with everyone. I then headed off to get dinner and afterwards headed home. TB visit. A big thanks to the CO for adding this cache to game for the Geocaching community to enjoy. 
TFTE & TFTCs! After lunch I headed over to City hill to find some caches. By now the rain was gone but the muggles still hadn't come out. All the caches were quickish finds and were in good condition. This one was next. Once at GZ, I guess what I was searching for but it took a moment to spot it. It turns out I was right with my guess. It has now been signed and replaced ready for the next finder. Now onto the next one.

Found this one on the Tuesday afternoon after the mega. TFTC 
In Canberra to attend the Capital Geo Bash mega event. I attended the Queanbeyan Mega event a couple of years ago which is when I did a lot of the touristy things. This trip was more focused on Geocaches. There has been an abundance of new high quality caches published since my last visit so more than enough to keep me busy. Found during an early morning walk through the city. Thank you Tankengine, for placing Theatre Transit for the geocaching community.# #

Over here for Capital GeoBash Mega. The first of many daytime hidden caches all over the city - after the Mega event (closing ceremony). A fantastic Easter Monday. TFTC
Another nice hide from Tankengine. *The generic bit*In Canberra for the GeoBash Mega. Enjoying the sights and the variety of caches to be found. Thanks to all organisers, volunteers, sponsors and COs.
Cockburn Crew on tour to the Canberra Mega. Day 1 involved a bunch of caching around Sydney before making our way to Canberra for the Capital Geobash. We found a huge variety of caches, and its great to cache in new territory that we havent explored much in the past. Unlike our home state of Western Australia where we have found just about anything and everything.A beautiful day with great weather and even better company. Thank you to the local COs for a great day in and around this great country of ours.
Part of the Sandgroper contingent that has come to the Mega to explore new hunting grounds. Its sure to be a great week with many finds and laughs with lots of great friends and maybe some new ones along the way. Thank you for placing this cache for our enjoyment. Logged as WA6
Doing just one more for CrystalFairy before we get to go home. Didnt take me long to spot. Cool container! 76 caches + 51 ad labs is enough for today! TFTC Tankengine ??
During our weeks trip with Bare Foot Guru, Infoferret and Trinity to the Canberra Mega we logged as a combination of "BFG, CF, BIC, BITC" depending on who we were caching with at the time. The trip took us on a flight to Melbourne first, then a drive to Canberra, followed by a drive to Sydney before flying out again. Where possible I will add commentary to each find about the cache. Thanks for all the caches, hides and effort put into hiding and maintaining them.Took a while to find in the dark, but some searching and feeling and we found it.. Last cache of the day...
Day 5 of my Canberra Mega adventure. Out caching with the members of the WA6 crew. The day looks to be another sunny day, so a great day for geocaching . Very happy to claim a smiley here .

Exciting times over the next couple of weeks as we takeoff for the Capital GeoBash in Canberra! Its going to be a flood of Sandgropers over east, with a host of West Aussies making the trek east for the event. Im travelling with fellow Cockburn Crew members Leg5 and Barnzy12, starting in Sydney and hitting the road to Canberra, before returning back to Sydney. Honourary mention to our fellow member, Cravo10, who couldnt make it after recently introducing a new geocacher to the world the week prior. Once in Canberra, the agenda is set, well team up with a host of Western Australians to conquer caches. Collectively, were hoping to make it the biggest ever weekend for cache finding. Following the event, the journey continues back to Sydney, with a mission to clean up caches and new Local Government Areas (LGAs), ensuring no cache is left unturned in this epic geocaching adventure. Something tells me that well need a holiday after this, well, holiday. All logs have been signed as WAC to save space, abbreviation for Western Australia Crew. Cheers Tankengine! Join us in Augusta, in Western Australias South West, for WA Goes Big 2024 (GCAGV8Y) on Friday 20 to Sunday 22 September. Log your will attend now!

The third day in Canberra and surrounds for the OzMega Geobash across the Easter weekend.Made my way to the event location for the first time today and enjoyed some of the festivities there throughout the morning.The afternoon was filled caching all over the place with a high priority placed on older caches to help fill Jasmer grids.Another day filled with an amazing variety of cache types and containers were located and with a large group the competition to get hands on the log first was high, with plenty of laughs along the way too.Thanks Tankengine for placing Theatre Transit for me and others to find.I added my name to the log at 22:24 on 29/3/2024.This is find number 8553 for me.
Out and about again, headed over to Sydney early in the morning, grabbed a hire car and got some local hides before driving to Canberra for the MEGA.

22:51Good Friday GeoBashing.Of course I went out in the dark with n0w0rries for a few more finds...There were a couple of Adventures in the city that looked interesting, so we headed that way and parked just off City Hill to check out some artwork.A stroll around, following a Book Thief, led us around the back of the theatre and up here.Thanks, Tankengine. A neat bit of custom work that took us longer to spot than it probably should.#8597
On our bikes today. We were suppose to be having a non caching day, going to visit the sister-in-law, however she had to cancel due to important client meetings. The price of being a small business owner. Hall was on the cards but we decided to leave that for another day and go into the lake, picking up what we could and adding a few Ad Labs.Total Caches Found 15670TFTC Tankengine
I happened to be at the theatre this evening to see Josh Thomas' show Let's Tidy Up and figured that this would make for a convenient streak find!I'd only just reached the theatre in time for the show so went in there first, discovering that there was indeed an entrance on the gz side of the theatre (which goes largely underutilised).Exiting out of the same doors, I made my way up to a deserted gz and got to searching.Eventually the trusty phone camera was employed to investigate the various nooks and crannies before something caught my eye - but only barely!A very nice construction here that blends in surprisingly well.The logbook had my name added to it and everything was returned as found.Thanks to Tankengine for this hide!
Years ago I couldn't find this as a Bridge Banter. But it seems the name change has done me some good with this cache, which was found reasonably quickly on a quiet morning in a likely spot. I do like the bespoke, personalised container!Thanks, Tankengine.
Pleased to find this one without too much hassle while out on a walk this morning before heading up to the Rex hotel to play some bridge. Thanks to Tankengine for placing this cache and maintaining. Greetings from New Zealand
Our first and last day in Canberra - and our last grab here TFTC for this little box and greetings from Germany!
Update: was found yesterday with a very cool pathtag, which will get logged separately. Thanks Tankengine!
Found this with my colleague from work when we wanted a break! Introduced her to geocaching a while ago, hopefully she's now a fan!
That was a tricky one. We found it, though. Cool hide. Met some other friendly geocachers while looking for it, that was a cool coincidence!
This one was frustrating. I have seen one other like this one before but it was so well hidden it was impossible to even get a glimpse of without the use of technology. With a bit of help from some other cachers I was finally able to find it. Thanks, fishysturgeon and baristayan. TFTC
Came past here in the early evening with Baristayan who was looking to avenge a DNF.
For possibly the first time ever, I latched onto this crafty hide within moments of locating ground zero. Absolutely brilliant from the CO once again…if this is the ‘easiest’ Bridge Banter I shudder to think what the rest have in store thanks for the cache!

Yes! After many months of not finding this cache, I have now come back with fresher eyes and hundreds of finds under my belt, to only not find it again. It was actually buckoraider who spot it.
But the hiding spot is very clever!

CaptainVimes and I are on a driving holiday from Melbourne to Canberra this week. With the help of my phone I quickly spotted it. Thanks for the fun Tankengine
#1962 This would probably be our 3rd visit here after having not much luck on previous attempts. Turtle and I were both fairly certain we’d looked over every potential spot but we were still coming up short. Armed with a hint from the CO this time around and once again we were still baffled by where it could be hiding, surely we’re missing something. I must have actually missed half of the hint we were given because it wasn’t until Turtle vocalised something I soon had the cache in my hands. Sometimes you just need a good nudge in the right direction! Thanks Tankengine for the hide and help on this one!
#3793 After a couple of failed attempts here, the CO was kind enough to let me know what to look for at an event the next time I came. Back again with DT and we were still struggling to get a touch or sighting of the cache. Eventually I mentioned aloud what I thought DeadThief already knew re the hide and he found it within moments. Clearly it just wasn’t meant to be me. Thanks Tankengine for the assistance and the placement.
Tftc!
Great spot and we searched for a while,but finally we found it!
Best regards from Switzerland

Had a great day geocaching in Canberra. A variety of nicely crafted traditionals, many virtuals, all-time favourites of Mrs Bear, an abundance of adventurelabs, and the occasional multi - we ran around all day. In the end our feet hurt and we were so tired, we didn't even go out for dinner anymore, yet it was a fantastic day.

We’ve been having awful luck trying to cache around Canberra! So many of the caches are taking longer than expected for the DT.
Feeling her way around Billy tentatively stated, “I think I might have it.”
Satisfaction once we had it in hand! Found with Billy91.

This turned out to be quite different than what I thought I was going to be looking for - I’ve not seen a cache done quite like this before. It took me a few different approaches, and the late hour helps avoid curious passersby from wondering what I was up to.
TFTC and favourite point awarded!

Didn’t have much time as muggle husband kept pointing out how suspicious I looked, peering around at the bridge from all angles. I’ll be back!
Sunday had a good start, some quick caches, a few adventure labs and the weather was holding. Only half a day caching today as I am heading back in the afternoon. Very tricky, eventhough I was expecting a hide like this

Nice quick find here today. Coords spot on as always for a TE cache so not too many places it could be.
And so it goes, just happy to pick up caches such as this one. Thanks to Tankengine for putting out and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment!

First find like this - I was ready to give up a few times but went through logs and paid attention to some recommendations. Tftf
Couldn’t get the goods today - it’s well hidden wherever it is! Thought I had it but it ended up being a nang.
Finally this cache, ive looked for this one a few times and I always looked from the wrong angle it seems, very happy to finally put this on my found list TFTC
Unusual bridge, but a great cache location, went under and over a few times before discovering the sneaky hide, always on muggler alert, TFTC Tankengine
Looked around for abit but decided business atire not the best for searching ill try again later
