Road works have removed the tree it was in. Cheers

Found half buried in the ground because of the road works, GZ is now on the road so the cache has been moved into the wooden fence pole. Found with Sophiescout and aussiepusckaks. TFTC

Have relocated this to an eclipse mint tin 5 m off the gz position which is now buried by road waste. Log book is wet but able to be signed. Green eclipse tin is wedged into a fence post

After a brief search one of the party said “this looks cache like - a painted container”. Dug it out, removed all the soil and found a very wet log book. Have relocated to an eclipse mint tin approx. 5m off gz and wedged in a crack within a fence post. Hope others can find it ok. TFTC

Found it’s deF been moved due to roadworks and I am not sure how long it will stay here!

Road works currently underway here. Hope the cache is still there

A quick park and grab with Lpud while visiting London Bridge. Lovely Sunday afternoon drive. TFTC

A day with Marmaduke Rothschild caching around the southern end of Googong Dam and along Burra Road and Old Cooma Road. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing and maintaining the caches for our fun day.

Out caching today with Happy Feet and the Snakepiters we signed the log as DISH.
We had an enjoyable morning lots of laughs & the good competition between all in the car trying to locate the cache 1st.
Thanks for placing this cache Chalk It Up

In Queanbeyan to attend the Mega. So great to get here early to spend time catching up with some many familiar faces. Always taking the time to grab a cache, when the opportunity allowed it.

Out today with Di Morgan and Snakepiters, signing logs as DISH. Had some fun and laughs along the way, while finding a number or good finds.

Enjoying the series and the variety of hides.

Thanks Chalk It Up for all the effort of placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play

Found it with Deaf Geo-caches Lucky9

Found while out and about with geocaching friends - Alansee, Zobo04, Gonefishen07, Anderka and Phetlern.



My thanks to Chalk It Up for placing and maintaining the cache.

Attending the Clear Water 2019 mega this Easter in Queanbeyan. Apologies for the generic log but we have found too many to compose individual logs. Many thanks to all the cache owners for their caches, which have been exceptional in their maintenance I have had only 1 dnf and that was only because I was not going to make a tree climb without seeing where the cache was. The vast majority of caches have had very good coordinates. Along with useful hints. TFTC

Attending the Queanbeyan Clear Waters mega event, this was a day packed with hikes and power trails. Our team started off the day walking around Googong Dam targeting the Queen geocache trail, before then heading south through Royalla and visiting Michelago, and then heading north via Burra. A massive day caching indeed in great weather.

An ongoing drive back towards *home* along Burra Road collecting the Burra series power trail, as well as some odds and ends on the way, such as this one. This geocache didn't take long to find, and the cache and contents were in good shape. Thanks Chalk It Up for its placement and ongoing maintenance.

Found while out and about with a group of cachers. We decided to cache in this area and were rewarded with good caching.

Found with geo-friends and signed as Lucky9 during Mega event, thank you so much for placing it Chalk It Up. Beautiful day today.

Good variety of caches. TFTC

Yesterday I was quite uncomfortable on the Tarago road PT so today I headed on a different direction. I was surprised by the number of vehicles on the road but at least there were nowhere near as many trucks.
I think I will finish with 40 and 1 but I did miss one somehow.
Thanks to all the COs whose caches I found today . Most were found easily due to good coordinates and very friendly hints.
All logs were either stamped or signed though sometimes as SG as I often do in small logs to save space.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

We started on this fun series this afternoon. The names were all well chosen and the hides that we looked for were all found successfully. Our name was added to each log before restoring each container to its proper hiding place. We really enjoyed this series and would like to be able to complete it on another occasion. Many thanks go to Chalk It Up for putting out these fun caches.

A quick find and fun little cache. Thanks Chalk It Up

Found After Aquilus1 and I played at Googong Dam for longer than we thought we would, we planned to meet up with GreyHams and collect a few down this area.

You know, I'll sit this one out. They have probably already found it. I won;t even bother taking my seat belt off. Tftc!!!

On a beautiful winters day it was a day of caching, with dty73 in the morning out at googong for the queens series and later in the afternoon to meet up with GreyHams for a targeted cache to collect Londons Loft. And of course we stopped for many other caches along the way as we passed them as well. After a false start to the morning to detour for a newly published cache as we were just arriving for our morning walk we did start off around the circuit a bit later than we had intended, so were a bit delayed for the days plans but still got to stop for most of this series.

Couldn't have asked for a nicer day, and with the brightest blue sky and the sun shining but not hot it made for a very comfortable day to be out. The highlight of the morning was the frozen waterways out at googong, the frozen water was very thick and made for some fun entertainment, it also delayed us even more in the afternoons caching with Greyhams and had to leave many of our planned caches of the day to catch up! Thanks for the cache Chalk it up.

Having to drive past many of the caches along the way we did catch up just a few caches along this road and then drove together to complete the caches along the way, it didn't take long to figure out the hints to each cache hide. This was a great hide.

Todays mission was all about filling yet another gap in the JASMER missing months and grabbing an oldie. Londons Loft was the target.... oh my lordie I am not sure that was a good idea at this time of year. I met up with Aquilus1 and dty73 who were going a bit ice silly out in Googong in the morning.

On the way I was also grabbing a few here and there that I had missed previously. This was one of those.

One more of the UP series.... they do go on and on.... I liked this one!

F(H)ound it! #2740 @ 1:15 PM

With the Ridgeo-pup still in her PJs asleep in the back I managed to grab 55 caches for the Hidden Creatures souvenirs in 5 hours today.

Nice to find a few quality hides after a power trail. Restoresand redeems my caching soul.

Thanks for the cache, Chalk It Up

Today is the 1st of July 2018 and I managed to find 157 caches for the day. It was amazing, we did so many caches with only about 10 DNF’s for the whole day. We spent a total of almost 12 hours caching and I was dog tied at the end of it all. There were some highlights for the day, Joolay got her 1500th cache find, I got my 3500th cache find and Kitty Katch got her 5000th cache find. We spotted an Echidna, a Wombat and several thousand Kangaroos during the day. Not sure exactly how far we drove but it was many hundreds of kilometres. I love geocaching so much and the friends I have made along the way make it all worthwhile.

I have included one of the Geocaching poems that I have written. I hope that anyone reading it likes it. Thanks for all the caches and sorry for the generic log for this cache but with 157 caches in one day it would be too hard to write a different one for each cache.

Geocache Poem
By DARKSIDEDAN

My endless search goes on and on
Looking for treasures of every kind
Always chasing just one more find
Putting past DNF’s out of my mind

I step out into the world outside,
Seeking what is hidden from me
What size, shape or form will it be?
Only time will tell, I can’t wait to see

Will I find my prize at the end?
I will search in the failing light and cold
Filling with despair having looked everywhere
Where is this thing that gives my life pleasure?

Looking all around from every angle
I read the logs and check the hint
I curse out loud as I walk in circles
Screaming the bloody thing it not there

As time flies by and I fail to see,
Never once stopping to realize
It always been there before my eyes
No need for sorrow, there’s the Geocache.

***** I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. As of 31st January 2018 my average was less than 70 words per log, which seems close to the 100 target. However given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After 3500 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 90 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before this year ends. Progress has been better than anticipated.*****

Found with Kittykatch and Darksidedan on a lovely sunny day (pea soup northside when we left). Decided to try and get to 150 for the day. Had a great day. TFTC

Found with Joolay and DARKSIDEDAN on a quest to find 150 caches in a day and qualify for the Hidden Creatures souvenir. Nice hide TFTC

Loved this cache! Very apt considering im out late at night getting the kids to sleep.

Fun find for CDog, clever spot

Out and about on the way to Cooma to see friends we found some really good caches today, it was a awesome day to be a cacher, thanx to the cache owners for making the day what it was , awesome
cheers from the Routers

Genghicat and I are out for a bee run. It's been a while so we're expecting a mess of honey. We've been distracted over the last month's with renovation and this cache seems to distract us even further. It's a quick roadside find.
This cache was a bit of a challenge. The GPS has been playing up today, first making me cross the road then sending me in the opposite direction. Genghicat of cause found it. Grrr. And I sucked it up. No point bottling anything up, so I let it go and everything fell into it's natural order again. All good with cache.

This is our fourth trip to the northern island this year. The first three were primarily for family events but with some opportunities to do some caching along the way. The fourth trip is different as caching is our focus. After getting off The Spirit of Tasmania we are heading north to cache at Wangaratta and then Yass before heading into the ACT and Queanbeyan for a week. After that we will travel to Jindabyne for a few days with summiting Mount Kosciuszko being our main target for this part of our trip. Then we will visit Cooma and Tumut before heading back down the track through Wangaratta and Mansfield as we make our way to Alexandra for the MEGA. After the weekend we will continue to make our way south and back onto the Spirit of Tasmania for the “drive” across Bass Strait. We are really looking forward to three weeks of intense caching in great areas and, hopefully, catching up with some geocachers in each of the areas we will visit.

Today we left Queanbeyan and headed south caching along the way. Rather than initially going down the Monaro Highway, we detoured through Burra before rejoining the Monaro Highway at Michelago. From there we went down the highway to Cooma, cached for a little while there, before heading to Jindabyne where will stay for three nights. This will be our base for caching in the area, including an attempt to get to achieve one of the goals for a trip, to get to the top of Mount Kosciusko. We are just hoping for reasonable weather with the weather forecast suggesting a little rain.

Accurate coordinates and an obvious hide location led to a quick find of a novel cache container. The interesting way to seal the container ensured that the contents were in good condition. Whilst we had seen many along the way, there seemed to a much greater number of crimson rosellas in this area - they area great to see. One sheep in the adjacent paddock was making a great racket as it headed into a building. We wondered if it was time for morning tea. Thanks Chalk It Up for the cache and for bringing us along a very pleasant rural road.

***** We are currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. On 1 September 2017 our average was 86 which seems close to the 100 target.

Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that we can strive to attain this challenge. After 383 caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 95.8. We are now entertaining the possibility that we might be able to achieve our gaol before this trip ends. Progress has been better than anticipated.*****

Headed down Burra Road today to pick up some caches with AngelG27. It was great to finally find some caches which I've driven past every day for years!
AngelG27 had already found this one so I had a little bit of direction thankfully. Although when I was replacing the cache I got a massive fright when something right by my hand moved. It was a tiny little brown frog!! Once I got over the fright I realised how cute the little guardian of the cache was >.< TFTC

Good hide here. Thanks Chalk It Up
SL

Before I even got close to the hide I was offered verbal assistance shouted from the neighbouring property where a helpful local was working in his pergola. Not a cacher himself, but is well aware of this hide and seems happy enough with the visitors.
Great use of an old no doubt cherished item as a container, with a little thought put into securing it.
Earns a favourite from me.TFTC Chalk It Up

Day four in Canberra with BettyBoo3747. Today we didn't venture far from home and went down to Googong Foreshores to brush up on our Queen history, and to have a look at London Bridge.

Missed one It Up as we were being tailgated, but stopped in time for this one - very cute!
Thanks for all these roadside caches today, a very nice series.
Thanks, Robmc.

#11280. Day 4 of our two week Canberra Holiday with Robmc. A day to rock on with Queen at Googong, and pick up a few other caches along the way. A big walk (for me anyhow) to start the morning at 8.00am. We got up close and personal with many kangaroos and yellow and white flowers of all varieties and came back crippled from all the grass seeds in our shoes. I did have sock protectors but the wrong shoes. New shoes for grass seed country are on the agenda ASAP tomorrow morning. We then paid a visit to London Bridge and gathered a few more caches and grass seeds before heading back to our accommodation for a well-earned rest.

We had to miss the last one as there was a car right behind us so we pulled up here and discovered that we were quite close to this one. A nice cute hide here that didn't take too long to track down.

Thanks Chalk It Up

TFTC grabbed while driving past

#4883 - 14:07; Decided to head out to Googong today to collect a few newish cvaches and then head along the Old Cooma Road and Burra Road for a few quite old ones. Another one where the angle of approach aided a quick find and sign. Nice bit of recycling at work on this container too TFTC Chalk It Up

Found on a beautiful winters day with Geokids

Pull it up we did, and had a chuckle to see the cache container, which is very well-hidden along this beautiful country road.
The log was signed, and we were on our way once again.
We were on a drive to London Bridge for a walk in the winter sunshine.
Thanks Chalk It Up for putting the series together.

#1912 8 of 19 today.

My Easter visitors made a early return home today leaving me most the day free, so I headed out Burra as I'd always wanted to see London Bridge. It did not disappoint & was much bigger than pictures suggested. All in all, it was a lovely cool day for walking around, enjoying the scenery, and, of course, collecting the odd geocache that got in the way !

I loved this one. I was a bit worried when something followed the cache as I extracted it only to disappear back down before I could work out what it was. No spider webs or other indications. A mystery I guess.

Thanks for the cache Chalk It Up.

The mechanism to get to the cache is broken and it is probably impossible to get to the cache. I had a torch with me and could verify that the container is still there, not sure if the container can even be reached to fix the problem.

Found on the way to Googong Dam, unfortunately it was impossible to get it to actually sign the log it until maintenance is done. TFTC and the series of these.

Tftc. Great hide!

Found with my Mum (Boeing737) and CanberraChick. TFTC

Ugh! Eventually got it after consulting previous logs. The cache name gives this one away, LOL! Mama/Papa huntsmen were AWOL but lots of baby huntsmen spiders were on the container! Was very glad no slitheries came up to visit.

Found this whilst on a mini escape / road trip with Boeing 737 and JetFuselage. Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Happy to let everyone know that the baby spiders have hatched and got to see the new ones.

TFTC Chalk It Up

Found it but I'm not going to put my hand in to get it and open it up for signing. There's a fairly large huntsman down there guarding an egg sack.

#4583 @1055
After an early morning walk with the Canberra Walking Meetup Group to the London Bridge Arch, and along the Dhurrawarri Buranya Walk, I stopped here for a quick find. A clever hiding spot. TFTC.

I decided to bring geomum to this neck of the woods for an open garden on Londonbridge Rd. As an added bonus i got to collect a couple of caches. But I will have to come back to finish the series!

I was sure not what I was looking for, but a quick circumnavigation of the GZ and I saw what was required! Very cute. Cache quickly retrieved and log signed. As a bonus I got to glimpse some local wild lizards!

Thanks Chalk it up!

This was an easy (and very clever) find on a hot day, driving down to London Bridge and picking up a few caches on the way. Thanks CIU

We were visiting our friends at Burra today and then headed off to the beautiful Goolgong Dam to get the series of caches. A beautiful warm day with a cooling breeze made conditions perfect for our two hour walk. After doing the series Brucie got into his "just one more" mode so we managed to find a few more caches on our way to Isaacs. [^][^] Thanks to Chalk It Up for placing this cache.

Haha almost. Put my arm in... love it tftc

After dropping off Geocoin nearby I continued down the road to complete this series.

Great hide, TFTC Chalk It Up

Really cool one thanks

Nice hide,

Cheers

What a clever hide! Thank you

I found this after a brief search. Another nicely hidden cache and one that I would see it's matching little sister cache later in today's caching trip. My muggle parents are always amazed at how sneaky some of these hides can be. SL TNLN TFTC.

Tried but no success. It happens.

Mrs Geo found this one quite quickly after she stopped naming the birds. Still not muggled. Clever cache. TFTC
