A quick find in good condition, though it's a shame the original cache lost its lid. Lovely little pine grove nestled on a hillside. Tftc
A lot of fun trying to find a safe-ish parking spot a short walk to the cache. Figured Ginnenderra Drive was the best approach, so a few minutes walk and the container was spotted a good distance away.

I found it but sadly there was no log! Sorry I didn’t have anything to add in it’s place. Here’s a photo to prove I was there. I like the hide. It just fits into its environment and if you weren’t looking you wouldn’t notice it. Hidden in plain sight. Love it.
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 nice container construction was unexpected in this remote area. Could have been quite hard to find but I was glad I consided that hike as a posiblitlity. A FAVpoint for me for the effort and the nice off the path location. I went on to the Posted Flynn from here, even doable pushing and lifting the bike.
A quick find with this one today. Thanks for the Cache All7.

It's quite some time since I have seen an example of this type of hide, and it was nice to note it was a home-crafted container. Took a little while to coax the log out but got there in the end. TFTC, Mr. Roo
Finally found it. Was about to pack it in - this being my second attempt - and thought I'd change my approach. Bingo! cih. Log almost too wet to sign.Tftc!
Went and had another look today with plenty of time to spare, and found it quite quickly. Log was very mouldy and unwritable, so left scrap of paper in the container.
Thanks,
Thanks,
Had a look around, but didn't spot it. Ran out of time, so I'll have to come back.
Took a while to find, log too wet to sign, (did not have extra paper with me), needs new log paper
Quick find today on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. And yeah clue is a bit obscure.
Was super proud of Mr 6 finding this one after we'd been searching for around 20 mins. Couldn't sign log unfortunately as it was too wet. Clue did not make much sense to us either, but maybe we're just not clued in.
Found with epzccc131. Hint didn't mean anything to us and log needs maintenance.
Took what I thought was the quickest way but the longer grass was still very wet from the mornings frost melt! Oh well, just wet feet! Bit of a look had the right location located and log signed. Log is damp but still able to be signed, delicate and wanting to rip but just holding up, could do with a new log as it's almost full anyway. Thanks for the cache!
I must admit I was expecting a different container, but my gps was pretty much spot on and what I was looking for still lead me to the cache. Log a bit damp and mouldy, but able to sign. Tftc!!!

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.
Not sure how the hint helped, but found it.
TFTC mr_roo.

Tuesday 14 February 2014 - a perfect Summer's day in the high 20s. Early evening found 3 from 3 caches to keep my daily stats going.

A full day's caching starting in the Pinnacle Nature Reserve followed by at Strathnairn, around West Belconnen Pond, then as many other West Belconnen caches I could grab on my way home. 39 finds and several DNFs. Easily found. TFTC.

Found on a weekend caching blitz to the ACT with Hoojar and The Rats. We came, we saw, we biked, we walked, we had plenty of fun along the way .
Sunday we had planned for the Kowen forest Kangaroo but the forest was closed. So a bit of freestyling around the suburbs until it was time to head home. TFTC!

After a few weeks of planning, and a number of attempts to align calendars, this weekend I came down to Canberra and the ACT area for a big weekend of caching with The Rats and steeba. On bikes, on foot, and in the car, we targeted a number of series and Power Trails placed since our last trip down here. The weather was perfect, the company exemplary, and the numbers achieved exceeded my expectations. It was a very long and tiring weekend, but of course it was also extremely satisfying!
Having had our plans of the 'Kowen Roo' series dashed due to a forest closure, Sunday saw us scrambling for caches to find. In the end we decided to drive around and collect a few little patches of caches.
Thanks to the all of the cache owners for placing their caches. Sorry for the mainly generic logs.
Cheers

Came down to Canberra for a weekends caching with Hoojar and steeba. Taking advantage of the perfect weather conditions we had two great days riding our bikes around some of the newer powertrails that dot the city and suburbs.
Sunday was a carbon copy of the previous day and a half for us, more trekking round the streets with plenty of finds. Once again the bikes came in handy as did a few drive-bys. Thanks to the various CO’s for placing these caches. My apologies for the generic log but it doesn’t detract from the fun we had finding them.

A short hike, done in conjunction with 'Posted inFlynn'. A central parking spot not a long walk and a reasonably quick find. I usually cycle past this area, but on the track on the other side of the creek. First time walking on that side - very nice spot. TFTC
The creek was very impressive today after all the rain but luckily GZ was still easily accessible. After finding our way in, quickly spotted the hiding spot. Thanks mr_roo
Swung by this one for the after work daily.
Easy find! [^]
Thanks for the hide, mr_roo

First of 4 caches Benura and I found on our walk this morning. TFTC and the nice stroll.
Found on a post dinner run with Bobl27 and geohound. Quick find. This was the exception that proves the rule that the way out is always easier than the way in. Sigh. Thanks mr roo!
Interesting camo here for sure! Easy find but haven't seen a geocache executed in this exact manner before Thanks for this cache, it was fun walking underneath the bridge too since there wasn't much water. A good spot that must not get visited much on foot!
i had attempted this once before without success.
I was passing close by and decided to give this another crack.
Finally!! I found the sneaky hide.
Thanks Mr Roo

A cold blustery morning, with a few minutes to spare after we had dropped our car off for some repairs in nearby Belconnen.
This cache was located fairly quickly. Then it was back to the car to find another.
Thanks mr roo,

Found @ 6:32pm
I parked within 50m (no, not on the main road) and prepared myself for a search when I spotted the obvious hide.

Out to pick up a quick cache for the day, stopped by this one on my way to belconnen. Parked nearby and a quick walk to GZ and cache was soon in hand.

On a mission to reach 500 with Geochicks, Snickersallan (SA), Fit02 and Rat PackLeavings (RPL). p.s. I signed in as (BW) on todays run
Team find with geo friends, Bluewattle (BW), FIT02, RatPackLeavings (RPL). To save time, I signed log as SA (Snickersallan) and TFTC.
Found at lunchtime while waing for an appointment at nearby Melba. Thanks Mr Roo for the hunt.
A beautiful sunny afternoon, went of on my bicycle to find some caches. The first few were on the other of creek so I headed further along till this one. TFTC.
I have been meaning to do this cache for a while now, today was the day. Thanks mr roo
We had to negotiate our way through some long grass and up a hill but the cache was quickly spotted.

Found 9:21 pm with X_mscake. TFTC I'm continuing a streak and this was nearby when I lost my way to another location. Anyway pulled over right before the bridge straddled the breakdown lane and a little of the bike path left the parking lights on and geodaughter in the car. X_mscake and I headed up the hill. Located the cache, SL and replaced. But the cache description confuses me as the cache I found was sort of a 'drain'?? Don't quite understand the hint maybe if it hadn't been dark it may have made sense. Anyway headed back down to car when we noticed the police had pulled up behind my car. Oh crap! As we descended they walked back to the wagon and moments later moved off. Back to the car and geodaughter said they were checking whether we had broken down daughter explained I was up the hill geocaching, a little explanation of a treasure hunting game, apparently he then laughed said ok and then both went back to their wagon which is what we saw returning. Thanks to the police for checking and for having the right attitude.
Thought I knew what to look for here at Ginninderra Creek but as usual pre-conceived ideas were wrong and I found a different sort of cache to what I was expecting. In any case it was a fun hunt and find with no one around on a sunny day at 13:30 this afternoon.
Thanks heaps for this cache Mr Roo
