Log missing again. Time to put this one to rest, someone else can have the area.

Easy find while in the area, however there was no log in the container. I did leave my mark on an envelope and have left it there, but it will need a new log. TFTC

Love how clever people are

It is soo apoleing

Quick walk while waiting for a cake to cook. This is the closest cache to our home.

Cheers GUIO

Nicely fixed. Well done.

It was very sneacky

You are sooo sneakey!! How did you manage to get it in there!!??

Found during soccer

Nice late night pickup on the way home from work Excellent spot and hide


TFTC Rapidlywild

Cool thanks

Looks like dynamite

TFTC

Tftc, tried to remain inconspicuous with a game far off behind me :p

Tried this one before but definitely wasn't there but is now. TFTC Rapidlywild.

A quick find to fill a gap in our geo-calendar. This was the the cache we needed today - close to the road, nice and clean container and log, no long grass, no mud, no drama. It was an extra large night at Enlighten last night... our heads have certainly felt better. Now off to buy snacks and then home for a nap. TNLNSL TFTC Rapidlywild

I started heading for a likely looking symbol nearby, but soon realised it wasnt there. Found quickly with accurate coordinates. It helps when you've done a few of these before.

Thanks

Cool find, TFTC

A quick drive by find. TFTC Rapidlywild

Good easy.hide as we brought a new cacher along.

Out for an arvo walk with the doggies. TFTC.

Well it's been a busy week with the return of most people from the xmas break, but my usual weekend fix of geocaching was derailed by wet weather. I've tried caching in the wet before, but all I did was make the logs I visited wet. Not exactly a good service for the GC community.

I've tried to find this one once before, but it was missing. Better luck today. Tftc Rapidlywild.

Cache replaced

Ok rebuilt this one again. HANDLE THE CACHE SOFTLY peoples. If you cant handle the cache with care, then I please ask, don't do this cache. This should not be getting broken as often as it has been. It takes a fair bit of force to break its restraints, force which is definitely not needed to make the find. Anywho its back up and running now, cache on peoples

Time to rebuild this one again.

Was being discrete but maybe too discrete. I couldn't find it in any obvious spot. Well hidden.

Just read the previous comments. No wonder I couldn't find it. At least I know I was looking in the right place.

Hi RapidlyWild, we found this cache but unfortunately it dropped to the bottom of the pole and we were unable to retrieve it. It needs to be repaired. Let us know if we can help. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for understanding. Team Maroon.

Very cool!

Yeeah Yeeah.. Found It!! Was confused prior to the find.. pulled it out and there was a big old spider on it.. Lol i was also worried i was gonna drop it whilst putting it back.. Luckyyyy.. Muggle infested on school holidays.. Ngunnawalians like to use the oval around Chrissy and New Years. TFTC.

Got this one after dropping geo kid at school. Only so many places to hide one here so it was a quick find. TFTC

A quick find with only a few galahs looking on. Nice cache design.
Thanks Rapidlywild

TFTC. Found with geo kids

#10 for the day. Thankyou Rapidlywild

Tftc

Tftc, be be bounce. Easy find. Nice hide.

Tftc

it what would be a first - went straight to it and found first stop I checked

be careful - the "container" isn't really PC for todays enviroment

Quick and easy find with GeoTeen. TFTC

I knew exactly where this one was as I have seen a few similar hides
I checked the wrong spot at first though, but then checked the 2nd one and there it was!

Thanks

I was glad to see this one had been re-established. Easy to find. TFTC

I thought this was very well thought of and well hidden

This is one of the BEST cahes i have found

found with new geobubbys GFEAB

The hide wasn't where I first thought it might be on approach to GZ. Nice one! TFTC

Cache has been rebuilt. Please ensure that you do NOT drop the cache to the bottom of the holder. The cache is supposed to be attached to its lid, if it is coming loose, please let me know and dont just drop it in. Due to someone dropping it the incorrect way, I am unable to retrieve the original, pretty disappointed at the lack of care taken by someone.

Anyway, its back now, all I ask is people take due care. Remember your caching etiquette peoples

I will organise a new cache to be built for this one. Shame it was muggled, prob fallen to the bottom. will check it out this week.

Given the other photo, it is almost certainly muggled.

Didn't find it only had a little bit of time. I kinda punch myself in the face just looking for it opps maybe next time I'm at my sister I'll find it

Scratched our heads about this one, and had to DNF and settle for 11 caches for the afternoon (not a bad arvo's work).

No success for us today. We'll have to try again, hopefully with less muggle traffic.

Only had time for a quick look but couldn't find it. Will try again another time.

I'm getting better at this.

[center]7769. [green] Picked this one up quickly while filling in before the event. There seems to be a preponderance (oh spell check said I got that right - now is it used in the right context?) of this type of hide showing up for me today. So having a theme made it nice and easy.

Thanks for the cache [blue]Rapidlywild[/blue] and the sinker.[/green][/center]

Came past, but there were muggles about, so I decided to clear up the Mirrabei series instead. Came back 15 mins later and checked the obvious spot. Not sure exactly how it relates to Specimen X, but I'll take the smiley

A beautiful day in Canberra and great caching weather too. This is one that I found in the norther area that I had never visited before. Very pleasant area! TFTC

We spent the morning caching around the northern area of Canberra. We saw many new sub division being built, some great scenery, travelled over many bike trails & found a big variety of caches.
It was a wonderful morning out.
This was one we had on our list to find, what a cracker of a cache.
Thanks for placing this cache Rapidlywild

Nice hide indeed.
Co-ords were spot on.
Thanks for the sneaky hide

Quick find for us, Touring Canberra today in company of Baja15 and Wilbert67. Finding many interesting caches along the way. The weather seem to be holding out, little bit of rain but not enough to stop gaining smileys. TFTC

Enjoying our caching visit with friends in the area. We found some caches quickly and easily with others showing us some interesting parts of town. A special thanks to J+J.au and Wilbert67 for the fun dispite the rain. SL..TFTC

On a caching hunt in Canberra with J+J.AU and Baja15. Lots of caches, lots of rain, lots of kangaroos and heaps of fun!
TFTC Wilbert67

Called past this one for a quick check. Luckily I did as the supporting wire had been broken. Repaired wire and supplied the cache log with a new ziplock bag. Cache all good to go. Didn't have a spare small pen so please ensure you have one on you when visiting. Cache on!!!!

Quick grab on a hot hot HOT day in Canberra. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!

With The Rats trying to find #10,000 before July, steeba and I were easy to convince to come on a trip to Canberra to have a big day of raiding numbers. Despite the temperature hitting 37°C we still managed to find a lot of caches. Although it sure was testing in that heat.

Another stop on our Friday night raid.

Cheers

Found on a quick overnight trip down to Canberra with The Rats and Hoojar.

No problems with obtaining our Specimen tonight. TFTC!

Headed down to Canberra for a bit of caching with steeba and Hoojar. This was one of a few caches we found on Friday night.
Another one in this series off the list.

Thanks

First stop on a run through Gungahlin with DRT today and this one was found on the second look at the spot as it was a nice snug fit. TFTC

Cache #3 for today,

Out with Ja for an afternoon of caching.

After a short search and some double checking Ja came up with the goods.

TFTC

Marcus had so much fun with this one TFTC!

The shape of this cache is new to me. Very cool. It took longer to find this one but Liv81 and her daughter found it. Again we were the first people to find it in 2014.

Thanks for the cache.

1/1/2014 fifth find for the year with Liv81, allrounder, squiggle30 and geokiddie out for a geocoaching arvo crowded in the geomobile...TFTC

Found @ 3:02pm with squiggle30, Shadow!, Liv81 and the geokid to kick start caching for 2014. This was the fifith of seven finds for me.

Once again Shadow! tried to make this one into a driveby but I put my foot down and told her to stop!

Nice camo - the geokid needed a little help to find this one.

Thanks again Rapidlywild

4 of 8 on a caching day with Shadow!, allrounder, squiggle30 and the geokiddie...TFTC!

Quick find on an early morning ride - thanks Rapidlywild!

Excellent container, love a novelty.

Nice one. Scored while doing a brief run through the area. Thanks for another!

Quick find on a cracker of a day TFTC

I tried all the likely spots but no joy. After a while searching around the area I went back to the first spot and tried a bit harder - what do you know! A cache. TFTC

a dynamite cache TFTC

Quick find light my wick! Tftc

Found

got home from work and had an itch to find a cache so I went for this one. tftc Rapidlywild

7403 + 877 = 8280. A quick find while driving through the area.

Driving around the general area moving house. Took a few minutes out to grab a couple of caches. All quiet on a Saturday which meant a quick find. Nice Hide !

Thanks again Rapidlywild !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

A quick find late at night. The moon looked spectacular tonight.

A nice quick find close to home

TFTC Rabidly Wild

Wow. Took us ages but finally my cousin had a great idea of where to look. And bang! There it was! Thanks for the find.

Found during the cold November Rain. Had no idea what to expect with this one. Didn't come on a school day (good job SdL), so it was all good. On approach with the car, I spotted something that looked like the SX logo as a magnet the nearby powerbox and immediately thought that that was the cache. When we parked and got to the powerbox, the cache was still 20-40m away (so it wasn't the cache after). Got to the actual GZ for a quick find. Nice hide, love these. Only from reading the logs now did I realise what the container was supposed to represent - what a cracker! TFTC RW!

Last time I was here there were people using the field and a neighbor watching carefully. Today in the rain I parked around the corner and walked over to a vacant field. Happily the cache was exactly where expected and I was not here long. Thanks.

Hmmm......morning tea time around a school.....I didn't plan that very well.....

So sat and waited until everyone had walked/played past where I was parked and the then set out for the cache. Took a minute or two to get it right, but the cache was eventually in hand and all was good. Set me up a bit of the day actually.....

Always fun...thanks RW.

Tight fit this one

Ah! guessed where this one was going to be - and so it was! Liked the container, scared me for about -.01 seconds Thanks RW.

I thought I had found it but got discouraged when the location would not respond to my probing. In frustration I gave it a whack and low and behold it was there after all.

Woot. Straight to the cache and quickly logged. Love the container

A quick find in the only spot it could be.

Was in the neighbourhood........nah, I wasn't really but I was looking for inspiration. Parked next to it, to be sure to be sure, twas sort of what I was expecting though, wasn't sure what that was coming out of the bottom - looked like a fuse so I lit it and it blew me up, never to be seen again..........sort of !

2568. I had a visit to this one a short time ago and decided that lunchtime on a school day was not the best time to attempt it. After a chat with the CO last night, I decided to return before school hours this morning. I had suspected what the hide was from my original visit and made a quick find. A very interesting container but from what I have been told, the thin skinny bit is way too long.
Thanks RW for the cache and the LOL moment.

Had a second attempt at this and today made a quick find. After our failure last time we were doubting the co-ordinates, but they are good. We found it in the first place we tried last time, but last time couldn't move it, so we failed to find it then, but today did. We must have felt stronger today. TFTC.

It was worth returning for we made a quick find today. The last person who signed the log before us was LuckyL10n on the 8th. A cracker of a cache. Added to favourites. TFTC.

Nice cache 60sec find
