A daily find for me. Checked a few other potential places before looking in the right spot.
Container is in good condition however log is scrappy and needs replacing. Signed as T284 in a remnant of the log. Thanks.

A day for picking up a few solved puzzles as well as some local finds.
Grateful thanks to CO for placing and maintaining the caches to entertain me on my journey.

I was here with OcciferOlive101 and my little sister. We walked all the way here. It was good to go outside and take a walk.
I was here with WicketTaker314159 and my little sister. It was lots of fun getting away from the house so mum could work. Lots of fun great geocache!
We were in the area and stopped by to find this one. It took a bit longer than expected and some cache senses were required. TFTH
At first we gravitated to the wrong troll home, but we quickly found its metal home.
Wow, this was our second one. We are still learning as to what we are looking for. This was great. Thank you. X
I needed some propper exercise and took my bike out for a 27km tour to and through Gungahlin. It felt so good to be out riding Canberras awesome bike paths. More people than would be normal, but as it was during the day it was not bad at all.
3 hours and 12 finds and 3 DNFs later I was a happy camper arriving at home ready to get back into work.

Quick find, luckily no troll around, all in good order as there is a replacement log in place.
Thank you vombatus2 & crazeecat for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Nice quick find, last time I didn't have a pen so remembered to bring one this time. TFTC
Needed this one for my daily find this is my second visit very happy ro turn this into a found it log. Cords are 5 meters out but found it safe and sound. Needs a new logbook signed it dsd
Not where I expected from the hint or the description but still found quickly. The log book is destroyed, I put in a small piece of paper to sign instead
Walked around for about 2 mins then I
Saw the container. Log needs replacing as it was jammed in the bottom.

Enjoying the sunshine on an MTB ride with Lpud. Spotted reasonably quickly after checking a few other spots. TFTC
Another last minute, late night caching run for me in order to keep my daily cache streak alive (#229). I've been out in this area a little bit this week finding caches. This one wasn’t where I expected from the hint. I guess it was just to help you with which side it was on. BTW moon rise looked fantastic tonight. TFTC
It wasn't where I expected but considering the light is fading I'm happy. Specially since a whole new avenue for hiding has just entered my mind thanks to your hint. Cache found in good condition. Tftc
F(H)ound It! #2452 @ 12:30 PM
I didn't find it at the spot that I thought the hint was suggesting. However from there I followed my nose and instincts and eventually found it. Nice hide at a confusing junction of tunnels and paths.
Thanks for the cache vombatus2 & crazeecat

A short walk from where I was working today. Good hide. Thanks vombatus2 & crazeecat
A hot Saturday at the beginning of the Christmas break and the only sensible thing to do was get on the bike and find geocaches. But where? A lot of staring at the geomap and a circuit through the edge of Nicholls, the top corner of Ngunnawal, the north-east of Moncrieff and most of Casey emerged.
This one took a little while - as previous logs have noted, it is a bit of a distance from the coords. But I had fairly good idea what I was looking for and it was really just a process of elimination to find the little beastie. TNLNSL TFTC

I was in the area and decided to take a walk to this one. On my way I passed a pair of ducks with half a dozen ducklings, all sitting quietly pressed into the grass. I decided to skirt around them rather than scaring them off. Once at GZ it was an easy find. On my return I passed a lot of school students coming from where I'd seen the duck family. The parent ducks had decided it was safer to be on the nearby pond. TFTC.
Friday 7 July 2017 - a cold crisp overcast Winter's mid afternoon caching for less than 2 hours to help our stats, and a bit of fresh air with MuggleSon after his last day of work in his current role. Found 7 from 7 caches. Quick and easy find after following the human trail and the last few log entries as its not quite at GZ. Thx MuggleSon for the find. TFTC vombatus2 & crazeecat.
Had a good look around, perhaps took the search to a level that was a bit too detailed before expanding the search for the most likely location. Spotted quickly then, thanks for the cache vombatus2 & crazeecat.!
Dty73 had her hands on the cache before long & although the log was slightly damp it could be signed. GZ was a bit off & found after our search widened. Kutgw
Out on a cache run with Youban on a chilly, frosty morning. Quick find after we expanded our search area and checked a more likely spot. Log damp, but able to sign. Tftc!!!
DNF, After reading the logs I will return to get it tomorrow now I know where it is
Took way longer than it should of. Looking for the right thing just in the wrong place. Persistence paid off. TNLNSL TFTC
TFTC!
I don't know what KingsQuad means about "too short" - the cache is absolutely not up high or out of reach for anyone who isn't tall.

After dropping ZQX home not far from here, after a morning's caching expedition to Booroomba Rocks, I continued caching for the afternoon. Found in the third place I looked. TFTC.

Nighttime search. Fairly easy find. Little bit short for this one signed all the same tftc
As mentioned yesterday, I have replaced the zip lock bag and placed a temp log in place to keep this going until the CO can attend
Nice quick find whilst out for a walk with the baby (trying to get him to sleep!). Ziplock bag and log pretty much ruined. May be able to fix up tomorrow morning during my walk to the gym. TFTC
Very sneeky!
Remember to close it properly to avoid it from getting too wet!

Interesting little junction which provided some obstacles for Sir Maxy's new-found biking skills. TFTC.
GrimRaider and I found this cache on a Saturday morning cache run. Nice little hide though the LB is completely soaked and needs some CO maintenance. Had to watch for muggles as there were lots out and about this morning. TFTC
Great hide. Very wet. Rewrapped as best we could. Found with Dark Passion Play.
Must have been standing on it but just didn't find it. Had an excited dog wanting to go for a dip which didn't help with the searching
Found it on the second attempt, it had fallen out of location into the grass. Have put it back. Great cache
