Thanks to every one who log our caches. Cheers

Spent too long on this one.

It was getting late and dark so we didn't stay long. Searched above, searched below, searched and searched but it didn't show!

Had a brief look to no avail. Not sure if the roadworks have impacted or not. TFTC

Found but not up! It was on the ground.

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

With BomEm, on a Nice sunny Sunday drive.
Nice easy find.
Cache in good order.
TFTC

A quick park and grab with Lpud on the way back from London Bridge. Lovely Sunday afternoon drive. TFTC

Did my homework on this one and came prepared! Lovely - thanku and a fave!

Found!

Had issues with my app on this one, may be my phone may be the placement.

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.

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.

Replaced the container. Cheers

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.

All good with this cache. Thanks for its placement and ongoing maintenance.

A full day of caching as a member of LUCKY9 to save time and log space. Thanks for the hide. Chalk It Up

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

That was a different container

This caches container was completely cracked when found but the contents were dry. So I replaced it with a smaller container and took the swaps with me and put tem in the next suitable cache. The log was in good nick. TFTC.

Found on a day out with Guz's Travellers and Mr Cupcake - a beautiful day for it!

Here for the Queanbeyan MEGA!! Had a lovely afternoon caching with Mr Cupcake and Shandyk. Signed logs as GMS.

**# 23009** Found on another perfect Spring caching day while at Queanbeyan.
Another trek along some trails on the south side of town towards Burra.
More nice country roads and a fairly busy road in some places too.
Thanks for the cache and the series Chalk It Up,
***Roostaman***

Nice change of location. TFTC

Cache and log are in place, but the cache is aged, cracked and broken. I didn't have a replacement container, but that is what it needs.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

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

Another one off the list

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.

Again, Pagan needed to use his superpowers here. Loki has learnt better than to stick hands where she can't see. Thanks Chalk It Up

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.

Not a bad area out here. Not sure if I would want to live here, but it's a nice place to visit. 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.

I missed that I hadnt logged this one. FOund on a day of may 'Up' caches as well as a number around London Bridge... what a day!

F(H)ound it! #2739 @ 1:10 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.

Started looking up as I arrived... Kept looking up and soon found a likely hidey hole.

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. TFTC

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

This cache lay some 22m from where the GPS said it should and I probably wouldn't have found it but for genghicat's help. It's in good condition.
Getting back in the car was entertaining though. We'd collected our neglected bee hive and due to the bees overbuilding the frames a goodly amount of bees came along for the ride. I was using a leaf blower to send them on their way when a car pulled. Was a local commercial bee keeper and when genghicat said just bees and bee keeper the stranger said yes I'm a bee keeper. After which a very confusing and funny conversation issued. Still we had the cache so no need to deal with his suspicions so on we moved to the next 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. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Chalk It Up for the cache and the series in a very pleasant rural area.

***** 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!
Heading back down Burra Road we stopped to pick this one up. I needed some help to see what I was doing (I am a small large cat after all!) but we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Cache 3057 on 8/10/17

Headed down south with SleepySnowLeopard and geodaughter to grab a few caches including the London Bridge earthcache to recognize International Earth Cache day. Found around 7 caches along the way.

Number 4 for the day on the way north again. The girls made the find on this one, glove on hand.

Thanks Chalk It Up for the cache!

TFTC. I have moved the trackable.

Another good cache found while exploring the area tonight.
SL

Only one place this could be, so quickly found. Good sized container so decided to leave a TB that I'd been carrying around for a while. An appropriate hide for this TB seeing as bees love this type of location for a hive. Also provided a new zip lock bag for the log.

#4884 - 14:10; Decided to head out to Googong today to collect a few newish caches and then head along the Old Cooma Road and Burra Road for a few quite old ones. Again, the name said it all and as a result it was another quick find and sign. TFTC Chalk It Up

The name of the cache and the hint meant this was a quick find. A bit of a "jump" to spy the goods. (We are not really height impaired, but this was just above eye-height.
We soon had the cache in hand, and the log signed.
We were on a drive to London Bridge for a walk in the winter sunshine.
Thanks Chalk It Up for putting the series together.

Check on a maintenace run. Cheers

#1913 9 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 !

A quick find but I was a bit nervous after the previous find.

Thanks for the cache Chalk It Up.

Found on the way to London Bridge. TFTC and the series Chalk It Up.

#4582 @1050
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. TFTC.

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

After having just arrived in the ACT it was a quick visit to Burra to drop off our caravan at our friends place nearby. Could not forgo the opportunity to do this cache [^][^] Thanks to Chalk It Up for the effort of placing this cache and for giving us the opportunity of seeing a part of the country we would have not have otherwise seen.

Nice. Tftc

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

Great hide, TFTC Chalk It Up

Nice spot 31/10

Thanks for the quickie,

Bit of a stretch for this one, thank you

Another quick find before my parents and I started our London Bridge walk. SL TFTC Chalk

I understand why this is called 'Up It Up'!

Went for a day hike geocaching with my 2 boys Thunder and Lightning (4 and 9 yr old) around London Bridge. It's not easy to park near hear, and walking close to the fast roadway is a concern for kids, but we managed.

Quick find. TFTC.
