I've replaced this one a few times over the years and, after 288 finds, it is time for it to retire.
This one eluded us today. I think we had the right spot, but after looking fir a while, still couldn't see it. Another time then!
Tftc. Turned up to a packed car park so it took longer to park than it did to find, sign and return the cache.
Glad to turn this into a smiley. Thanks for replacing the missing cache GLISS. Another one ticked for the day.
Roadworks in the area made Tom Tom go where he didn't really want to go but we ended up in the perfect parking space. Serendipity. Love these hides - all in good order.
Let's tick off another suburb? Charnwood is a suburb rarely visited, lucky Silvereyes keen eyes found the cache quickly, plenty of parking spots on this mid week visit.
A day of cache collecting around Canberra - mostly with the aim of filling in a few suburbs, but scattered other caches included. Night time caching, but found quickly by phone light. TFTC!
Day 11: Clear Waters Mega Trip
Today was the day to attack the Southside of Canberra picking up our targeted caches.
Thanks GLISS! for being part of my Clear Waters adventure.

Nice find while out shopping. Thanks for the simpler parking tip! I left something to share also
Located and logged. No card, just a small snap lock with note paper for logging. #hiddeninplainsight
Continuing what has become a nostalgia tour today. This car park has seen some changes since I left the nearby town house complex all those years ago. Quick find & sign. TFTC!
Another cool spring evening. Short of a cache today I head out in search of something not to tricky and a suburb I hadn’t cached in before. This one fit the bill!
Cache in great condition. And a NFF Tftc

Chasing suburbs for the suburb challenge. Parked in pole position at GZ for a quick grab. TFTC in Charnwood.
Easy Cache after an ice cream at McDonald’s. Good Cache with 5 Yr olds Thx .... That was our 1st metal Cache as well.
Found after nearly a full lap of the carpark, our first geo very close to home! No trinkets just a log, our trinket wouldn't fit 
On a lunchtime jaunt into the wilds of north western belconnen. I needed four more suburbs up here for my mapping challenge I got to do some hard core reminiscing at the same time. I had a look at the house I lived in more than 30 years ago, when I was 9, had a look at the small path to the local shops that I used to come down often to buy my mums cigarettes for her (I know!, it was the eighties!) I also stopped and had a look at my old primary school.....
This cache was quickly found without any issues. Ta!

I parked near Woolworths and wondered over for a quick find. Nice hiding method!
I was checking in at my sons school sports carnival in Charnwood. Hugely enjoyed the bike ride on these nice path around here. And found some wonderful caches along the way.
This is nicely done and should last for a while.
A quick find with this one today. Thanks for the Cache GLISS!.

A better place to park is southside! 
Scored the prime parking spot which afforded some cover while retrieving and signing.

Found, there is a small magnetic stick at the same location to confuse you, the real cache does have a log book in it. Cheers
It's Australia day weekend, so that must mean Finalf29 is battling it out at CanCon and I am caching with AngelG27... and thus nature is balanced. Last day of my caching weekend with AngelG27, but best cache haul... found twenty three. We had another paddle in the canoe, then just kept caching... even though it felt like 90% humidity and angry ants everywhere! Wonderful day and weekend... Thanks AngelG27 for the lots of laughter, coming up with fantastic plans and being such great company... you are a true friend.
This was my ninth for the day. I was driving and AngelG27 had the GPS... I was a little confused to where she wanted me to park... hey it's been a long weekend, I can only cope with one direction at a time and even then I was getting that confused... so... I could have parked closer and had a better place to park. Thanks

Road trip to Canberra from melbourne arrived at our accommodation and this was 124 metres from the lounge room. Couldn't let it go unfound. Tftc
Logbook was missing I replaced it with a temp log for The co. Needs maintenance by the co
Ended up finding it while mum went into the store. Took me a minute but when I realised I knew where it was.
Unfortunately there's no list but here's a hint to future finders, pay close attention to the structure of all metal poles.

There's no log or list to sign I'm willing to replace it next time I show up here but just letting you know
Cool one. Second one found was looking at it for a good minute before I realised that was it.
It's such a beautiful day I couldnt bare to stay inside, so I find myself out here caching once again. This is a quick find in good condition. Tftc
Smart! Did this one late at night since the area is rather busy the majority of the time. A real joy that had me triple checking everything until I finally realized.
This was a nice little find and thought this one would be a good park and grab TFTC!!
Accurate coordinates, the hint and a familiar type of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks GLISS! for the cache.
Found 21:00 2/5/17. Was a cool evening so was glad I didn't have to venture too far from my car. Thank you GLISS! for the cache.
Our 5th find as part of our 31 day challenge. A wet wet day so it will our one and only for the day . Found with suzella29. A neat little hide -tftc!
Nice quick find. Was looking at buying one of these for my own deploy. Thank you.
Lovely walk down to my local with the kiddies for some ice cream and a quick find. Tftc
2856 7 of 12 today.
I had a few free hours to gainfully employ in the noble quest of Geocaching. Looking around, I noted quite a large number of unfound caches in north & west Belco, not too far from home in Gungahlin, so I grabbed some lunch & hit the road. It was quite warm for this time of year, but no too unpleasant.
Spotted this one pretty quickly as I have deployed one in very similar circumstances.

F(H)ound It! #1673 - @4:46:00 PM
It's hot and this is my last for the day. I needed some shops to get a drink for me and the Ridgeo-pup. When I arrived at GZ there were muggles in cars parked very close. I made a show of taking the RP out into the shade to cool her down and fill her a bowl of water and as I stood up I grabbed the cache. Just reversed the mime to return it. Thanks for the cache, GLISS!.

I love these types of caches thanks! Left a goosebumps card for the next person.
Friday 6 January 2017 - with a clear sky and dry air I enjoyed a hot Summer's evening geocaching on foot and by car after a day at work. Found 11 from 11 caches to help my stats along.
Thx for the hint. Great camo. TFTC GLISS.

This was our first unofficial find when dty73 introduced us to Geocaching. She could not have picked a better cache to demonstrate tricky hides. Tonight we made our find official & signed the log. Kutgw
