Couldn't find it, checked out to 10m radius from GZ and the hint. Possibly gone...
Not sure I was at the right rock going by my GPS but nonetheless couldn't find.
We are doing the Canberra mapping challenge, so we are heading out to different suburbs, taking the geopoodle, picking a route and picking up a few caches in each suburb - Today it was Fadden and Gowrie - except that it was a couple of weeks ago - apologies for the late logging.
We found th cache fairly easily, signed the log and moved on to the next one.
Thanks for the Fadden Cache Nashy1986

Gathering the last suburbs for the suburb challenge. tftc. TNLNSL. Log is full and slightly damp.
It was getting late but I needed to get out and some excercise. Something that would not work as a family walk. And as I had the bike rack on the car this trail along the bike path looked perfect. 20 caches in the trail and no DNFs.
This Was quite tricky a hide but luckly in the second spot I closely checked.
Thank you Nashy1986 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Great hide! Found with Vandahar. Log is full so we scribbled our names on a gap in the sheet. Thanks!
Found a while ago with @bottlecapkid (who tagged me wrong) but I did log it on the log book. I like the cache but didn’t have premium at the time.
Number 2 son (B0tmun) had a performance at the Moon Festival this afternoon so we headed in early with fitzy_1965 and met up with GLISS! to collect the last few suburbs needed for the Canberra Suburb Challenge cache.
Once I ignored the GPS who took us over to Richardson and said to walk 500m to this one, it was an easy 100m when in the right suburb! Quick find here today.

Out training for the bloody long walk so sorry for the generic logs. Need to log quick TFTC #88
A foggy morning cleared up nicely and the kids wanted to go for a bike ride. Why not ride and collect caches on the way?! We had a brilliant morning and collected all but 1 we set out for. We forgot our pen, so have a photo to prove find. TFTC
Found with Gazkersh and littlemisslonglegs while attending the MEGA nearby.

Return trip to Canberra after 31 years (on our honeymoon). This time attending Clearwater Mega event at Queanbeyan TFTC Nashy1986.
Passing by with Trodectus for lunch. Parked nearby and walked to GZ, T needed this to complete his trail here. Quickly located, log signed and returned. TFTC
Found with Coybear2000. I had been here many years before with another cacher, before I had my own GPS unit and before I'd become a premium member. Not that I can remember much from back then. We arrived at GZ and were greeted by the guardian blue-tongue. Soon however we spotted the hide and the blue-tongue retreated to its burrow. We found a TOT that helped us retrieve the cache, we signed the log and replaced everything. Then we observed the blue-tongue that was just visible. It wasn't coming out again while we were there. TFTC.
Cache 4796 on 9 Mar 2019.
A long weekend means more caches to target, and I had 7 caches in mind. And when I looked at the map, this little set seemed perfect. And it had been on my radar to grab these caches ever since I started geocaching nearly five years ago. So Bobl27, the geohound and I headed south for an hour to make a start on this series. All caches found in good order and according to the hint, unless otherwise indicated.
This cache: not in the series, but close enough! Cache found on the ground. Replaced in a little crevice between rocks.
Thanks Nashy1986 for the cache and the fun!

Found with AngelG27 and the hound on a relaxed walk on the bike path. Not like real caching at all! TFTC:)
Thankyou for the cache the Ewoks second attempt last time it was muggled long time ago but finally got here to get rid ov blue face
It was well and truly dark by the time I got to this cache. I saw the likely hide in the light from my phone as I approached gz. It had to be under there I said to myself. It was more hope than certainty. It was starting to get quite chilly and my time was almost up. Thankfully after a quick search and I had CIH. I quite liked the homemade container. Nifty. I signed the log and returned the cache to its secret hiding spot. This was the last cache of evening for me. Time to go collect the geoson and go home. TFTC
I was down this way for a brunch, and a visit to a fabric sale, with a group of other quilters (yes, making quilts is one of my other pastimes 
and I had decided that while I was down here - I may as well come and see if I could find at least some of this bunch of caches (that I was going to come down for the other day, but got distracted by the others on my way instead - lol) so ... I came down and parked near Michaelangelo, and started walking along the bike path finding caches until I ended up at Calwell shops ... which was about when I realised that I only thought I had my phone power bank on me - so another cache or 2 until my phone was almost flat, and a wander back to my car ... Grabbed the power thingy then wandered along the other way for a few more of the trail as the daylight faded, then I drove down a bit further and parked near another patch of caches, and went wandering off into the darkness ... which had turned to frost by about 8:30pm ... so at 9pm, I decided I was cold, tired and hungry, and it was probably time I went home for dinner - lol
TFTC - Nice quick and easy find, interesting container, good hidey hole, nice location...

Love riding my push bike round this pine forest. Havent done it for 15 or so years. Easy find.
Out with Kittykatch and Darzee Di doing a final few for the weekend. It was a lovely afternoon for a walk. TFTC
Went out with KittyKatch and Joolay today to pick up the "it up" series and this one was on the way so decided to grab this one too. Tftc Nashy1986 for putting it out and maintaining for us to claim.
I came out for a walk with Darzee Di and Joolay to find about 20 caches. A lovely afternoon to be out caching. Cache found in good condition. TFTC
This one is something of a Renaissance for me, back into caching after a while away. An easy find after putting away the GPS and opening my eyes. TFTC.
Decided to hit up Burra and surrounds for something new. Got a handful of caches, a few dnfs, seen 2 snakes, plenty of roos and met a muggle near a caches gz and discussed his unusual breed of goats. Unfortunately a persistent headache called the day off earlier than i expected but still enjoyed the morning caching.
Sorry for the generic log. I decided that after getting about a third of the '*-It-Up' series 'here and there' I would knuckle down and pick them all up today. So I park at the tennis club next to Chisholm High and set off. It was a long walk in a counter clockwise direction, my phone says it was 12000 steps.
2 DNF's overall, one the cache is definitely missing the other I am not so sure on. This cache was find number 20
Dont ask me why, but I was looking or something bigger. I picked the rock out from 30m but had a ferret and nothing... three laps later I come back and look again.. D'oh, there it is.

Walked down on the little dirt path from a nearby cache. Shady and cool along the way and a nice walk. Circled around once and then back to the first place I spotted, sure enough there it was. Thanks for the cache and like the container.

After dropping a guest off in Gowrie, I spent the rest off the daylight hours finding nearby caches. All were quickly found. TFTC.

Once we trusted the GPS, we made a quick find. All in good condition here and we were happy not to have to descend the steep bank (and get back up again 
). Thanks Nashy1986 
). Thanks Nashy1986 Coords spot on, quick and easy to locate. Was searching front, then looked a bit behind and bingo! Tftc!!!
We enjoyed the location and the walk. Thanks to Nashy1986 for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
Looked around for a while but couldn't seem to find it. Will try again another day
Nice spot was about to go down the hill as gps was 10 meters off. Luckily we didn't.

A gentle bike ride by an old codger trying to find 1000 caches by the end of the year. Another DNF. Can the cache owner take a look?
