Duck Conspiracy Dickson, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By MajuraHathi on 05-Aug-12. Waypoint GC3RZ5B

Found in 2013

Sadly the ducks have won and the cache has disappeared. I'm planning a single offset multi to replace it, unless someone else gets in before I get my act together!
Thanks for the fun.
Cheers

Taking offline to check this cache, thanks for the advice. It might be those Ducks again.
Cheers

We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! Three pairs of eyes looked for this 1.5/1.5 without success. We're a tipp'n it's a miss'n.

[u]FEEDBACK TO CO[/u]: With 3 DNF's it might pay to check this one - perhaps it has been muggled again. A move of location might be in order!

Thanks for the hunt anyway MajuraHathi .

Walked around and around, poking at several trees with Megannec. None the wiser.

Tried several trees, couldn't find with wittylama

Mind you, it was dark by the time I got there.

Found this cache today while out and about whilst staying in Canberra. A lovely spot, really enjoyed it here. Cache in good order.

The ducks have been overcome and the cache is back in action.
Please replace as found to avoid muggle detection.
Cheers
MajuraHathi

Yep the ducks have taken the cache, it's gone missing.
Will replace soon.
MajuraHathi

Not sure if this is it, but it doesn't look good...

Found it with Ed, Isabel and Joseph

Quick find. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

After a DNF with the geoboyfriend, I spotted it first today on a lunch time hunt with Curbo, jocreates, Liv81, dutchie02. TFTC!

Found with Curbo, jocreates, Crowie_88 and our newest member Dutchie02 (this was his first ever cache!)...TFTC!

Fun lunchtime find with Curbo, Crowie88, Dutchie02, Liv81. TFTC

After doing the fifty places series in the morning, we came out in the afternoon to find a coupe of caches closer to home.
This was a nice quick find, in a nice area for a walk.
Thanks MajuraHathi

A bit of night caching in the neighbourhood was in order, as now I had time. Just did the one though.
TFTC MajuraHathi.

A nice cache. Very pretty spot here TFTC

A nice stroll around the lake here. It seems that the locals just let their dogs run around here off the leash... GZ took us to a place where we had multiple options, but after poking around for a while we eventually found it. Thanks for the cache!

First find!! 1k from home.. Was starting to think it wasn't there

2 for the day. Nice @ this time of day

Our first ever! Found a stolen purse from the early 90s too!

Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?"

Took a while. Couldn't see the forest because of the trees. Third for the day. TFTC

Somehotties strike again! Definitely keep an eye on those pesky ducks...they're planning something for sure!!

Haven't been to this park for a number of years. Lovely to see the plant and animal life take hold. Has made a vast improvement to the area. TFTC

What a beautiful spot, moved away before it was finished, visiting our old stomping ground and it's awesome, found on our road trip TFTC

Liking being out on a perfect afternoon enjoying some ME time.

Easy find on a Christmas trip. Tftf!

Wandered by with Echo the geo hound to check on the progress of the ducks and this cache. Yep those ducks sure are looking pleased with themselves!
Dropped off a few travel bugs and geocoins I've had for a while, time to move them on.
Enjoy Duck Conspiracy!
Cheers

Quack find on our final caching day in Canberra.

First place I looked

Second of today's quick grabs. Loved the area and went for a quick lap before returning home via Pee Wee to do the housework. Little Red Riding Hood lead me straight to this one. Don't know what her problem was at Dicko Daze. TFTC TNLN SL

After much debate upon the location of this cache, the clue finally because apparent

Was looking at the wrong tree for quite a few minutes and decided randomly to check the tree behind and there it was! haha
Quite a few ducks around don't worry I'm sure they didn't notice me
TFTC

Beautiful spot now, well worth a visit .TFTC

Nice hint! My 6yo stood back and figured it out - 3rd find of our geocache rainy Sunday...

5:49:00 PM: (3 of 5) Find#4983
A couple more enroute to the Space event and there where a few options but after searching the 3 most likely I found it in the last of the three doh..
nice spot indeed thanks

Dropped by to swap some TB's. Dropped one and collected two, but have to report the shark had swum off before my arrival. No log entries suggest maybe it was collected for the information it carries and and not yet logged, or worse it's been muggled again. The latter seems less likely as the other two TB's dropped at the same time were still there and are now in my possession.

TB drop. Three of 'em. Including a shark proxy.

I was pining away for a good cache find, and there it was..

Cool

Quick visit to drop off a TB

Grate

Tricky! Was good one!!

Was stopped here for lunch and realised there was a cache, went for a look and found it shortly, nice location

Wrong direction were here

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Ducks must have been off elsewhere doing their conspiring. They were all missing - BEWARE! Or has the local restaurant started serving PEKING DUCK as their speciality dish? Miss E loved this cache so much. She hunted about looking up and down and in and out and was pleased when she found it. Her smile was priceless! TFTC...eatmorchikin & Stigglepot, Brisbane

Huh, never knew this wetland was here - that's why I cache! TFTC.

Found it, and yep heaps of ducks on the water, a quick grab as there were no people around. Thanks..

While in the area this one popped up on my unfound list. Ok off I go. There were some muggle kiddies on their bikes that I had to wait to pass but that didn't take long. Approached GZ without any further issues. Signed log then sat down to watch some ducks for a while. I left a froggy TB behind to chat with the ducks until his next mission as I thought this would be a fitting place for his rest. Thanks for the cache.

Ducks are pretty cool. They can run on top of water :O. I learnt something off-putting about ducks recently, but ducklings are always cute and never ugly! TFTC.

I've always been convinced that the duck actually run large parts of the ACT. There's a suspicious number of them around places like the ANU, but with the knowledge of the danger they're posing here we're going to start stockpiling duck food to keep us safe in the inevitable attacks.

TFTC MajuraHathi!

Walk past these wetlands every day on the way to school and ive been meaning to pick this one up for a while so headed out with a mate during a free period. TFTC

#693
Trying to hit #700 geocache finds today. 7 to go!

TFTC - see Dad's (KRS') log. The quacking was creeping me out!

25/08/13. 8:10 AM. Cache #853. Current streak (and end of the line): day 350. This was the 1st of 5 caches today, the end of my long streak. The original plan for today was to leave Canberra early, and get to Jindabyne and do some caching there, but one of the families we're skiing with met up with us for a late breakfast in Dickson, and just before we met them, Yelyac & I did our caching 'round here instead.

This one was a quick find with the satellite photo pointing us to the right tree immediately. Plenty of ducks about nearby; we had to stay on our guard. TFTC }:)

Quick find on lunchtime caching primer with work friend TFTC MajuraHathi

Nice view wetland and saw all ducks tftc.

good cache

The ducks were massing on the pond. I don't know what that means. I had to walk around a few times before I spotted the container.

Long delayed logging from my last visit to Canberra, signed then as robd. TFTC.

Very nice and sunny canberra winters day.
This was a nice and easy find at a pretty location.
Many thanks for the cache

Had some time to kill while I was in the area so what better to do than geocache. Got to GZ and had flashbacks, not to NAM but to Wagga. The ducks there were also plotting something, what's more the ducks in Wagga knew I was on to them as they would run away when I was near but allow other to come them. Here I couldn't even get close to overhearing their plot as they had the cunning plan of swimming. I did however manage to snap a picture of their secret gathering.
The cache however was a quick grab (I'm sure none of them saw me grab it but you can't be too careful).
Upon leaving the area I was certain I heard one of the fowl creatures laughing at me.

Wow how the heck did you manage to hide something so big in that tree? I can still smell the vegemite that used to inhabit that container, that is sure to keep the ducks away. Thanks!!

still smells of vegemite, found that funny for some reason :B tftc

Found during a day of caching in Canberra with Marzie_, enjoying the nice walk in the parklands to locate the hide. Thanks for the cache MajuraHathi!

A quick find. The ducks quacked at me while I was signing the log.

Thanks.

TFTC

Found it on a sleepy winter night. Cold out and no ducks!

Excellent coordinates and straight to the cache

Reminds me of Commander Strax from Doctor Who... Damn Moonites (Ducks).....

2013-07-06 0096 Ducks were conspiring in force when I arrived. My third attempt at this one. Vegetation at GZ looking a little geo-cacherised. TN$LN$SL. Thanks again MajuraHathi!

Wednesday 26 June 2013 - a beautiful sunny winter's afternoon with a mild breeze aiding the bike along. Quick and easy find. Thx p2p, TFTC

Had some time to kill on this side of town this morning before the rain settled in. Although it was perfect weather for ducks I guess. Perhaps the rain is all a conspiracy. It must be, between that and this bout of 'flu these 'holidays' are going down as just peachy....it must be the ducks fault. I'm sure I heard them talking about it....

Wow MH what a great location. I remember you telling me about using these containers as a cache container but this only second one of these conatiners that I have ever found.

There were lots of ducks here today. There could be some truth in this conspiracy. I wish I was here a half an hour earlier as it would have been a great photo with a magnificent sunset as the back drop.

Thanks MH for the hunt and teh cache.

Found in the dark by mobile phone light

I enjoyed this one, my 2nd hidden by Majurahathi, Im not an elephant or Baloo the Bear, you will know me as Chil who flies through the air. tftc Majurahathi

Super easy find! Loved the little jar of glitter!

Given the girth of this one, it took me way too long. But loved this spot. TFTC.

The wetlands look so established now .. but not a duck to be seen today

Found this whilst on mummy duty taking son to training. Loved finding this one,especially when someone walked by in the dark with their dog whilst I was trying to look like it was normal to hang out in parks in the dark on cold nights. LOL

A lovely parkland area. TFTC.

Tftc

#526 - 20:55; Out doing a few caches while the geoteen was at dancing and saw this one on the radar. I had visited the nearby ovals many times, but didn't know this duck pond was close by. Thanks for drawing me over to this hidden treasure MajuraHathi

A nice quick find even though the iPhone app had me smack bang in the middle of the trees.

Only one TB in cache not two. Discovered it but left it in place.

TNLN, TFTC

Dropped off trackable
