Found after a short search, not sure the spiders were happy with me poking around. Thanks for the cache Kittykatch
Took a minute or two, but finally spotted it. All signed then we had a good look at the weir.
It was a very cold this morning when we woke. The water in the hose to our van had frozen, but fortunately we had near full tanks, so no drama. It took quite some time for the fog to clear and it didn't really warm up a lot, so we headed out first to focus on Labs so we could retreat to the warmth of the car often. The sun came out around lunch time so we headed off to do some sightseeing round Lake Burley Griffin caching as we went. Canberra is a beautiful city. We love the way the sprawl is spread with lots of green space so it seems you are still in the country. The lake with its parks was beautiful in the sun. We managed to find a variety of caches and had an enjoyable day.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Kittykatch.**SKI Pair****

Day 5 of mogni and sir_spectre visit the ACT. Today was a mixed bag, old caches, letterbox, trad and wherigo and hunting letterboxes, more multies and stamping challenges as we passed and of course targetting favourite caches, oh and what everelse we happened upon. As per normal if a cache needed a bit of love, it got it. Lots of micro logsheets added today.Thanks to Kittykatch from mogni 
quick find. Stopped and did the nearby earth cache as well. Nice location.Found with Mogni. Myself and mogni are headed off to canberra on the " I missed the Capital GeoBash Mega " holiday, since last minute family problems came in to play and we had to adjust our plans by a few weeks. On the way over we targeted multi's, wherigo's and puzzles to make sure we had 25 in each or at least close to that total ( or more ) as possible, getting as many new New South Wales LGA's as possible, the 17th most favourite point NSW cache and every cache size in New South Wales.In the ACT it was getting 2 of the 5 oldest letterboxes, oldest wherigo in Australia, 2nd oldest earthcache ( with a side trip to get the oldest earthcache of course ), and ACT oldest cache too. I also hosted a CITO and planned on getting every different cache type i could and eevry different cache size as well. I also needed 9 more virtuals this trip to get my virtual count over 100. Finally canberra was far enough away from from house to complete the well aged well travelled cacher 0 to 1000 kms with a cache every 10 km's ( i only need 7 more caches to complete )Leaving the ACT it was going via Victoria to get there last active web cam cache and slowly getting a total of 20 finds in each LGA i passed through if i had enough time plus also hosting a CITO in Victoria as well. A busy 11 days. Trust me by the end of the holiday you would have thought the 6 meter ladder weighed more than 13 kg's to amount of times it was used or carried up hills or over creeks. If your cache was found with a broken container/lid it was replaced or if the log was full it was replaced or a extra log if the container was big enough ( except for nano's, do your own maintenance on nano's.
Out on a bike ride and decided to treat myself with a bit of treasure hunting. Great views here. TFTC Kittykatch!
Another pre Mega day chasing multies and whatever gets in our way.Caching with and signing as the group 'Qi +BHC' and having a great day.TFTCache Kittykatch
Another day spent Pre-Mega geocaching. Today we are chasing mostly Multi caches for some Challenges that require numbers.Log sheets as "8 for QLD" and BHC to save space and time. We used our TOTT. Log signed and cache replaced as found on 26 March 2024. TFTC, Kittykatch
We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Signapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. We had about three weeks in New Zealand which went by too quickly. The remaining five weeks are spent in Australia. Yesterday we drove from the Blue Mountains to Canberra where we wil be staying for three nights. We are here to participate in the Aussie Peace Walk. Today is the first day of this IML walk. We are lucky the weather is lovely. A clear blue sky and an exuberantly shining sun, but not too hot. Since the schedule it a bit thight for us there is not much time for geocaching but we cant restist having a look for this one. Fortunately we manage to find it quickly without any problem. Thank you very much for this cache.
During our two-month trip through New Zealand and Australia we arrived in Canberra to attend the Canberra Walking Festival. Today is the first day of walking.This cache was found during the first day of walking.**Kittykatch**, thanks for the cache.
Today l thought I would play the part of the tourist and walk around this huge River...it literally took me all day..of course I had to stop to find the occasional cache like this one. Engendering a way for me to grab this cache and then not lose it was a challenge.
I was muggled out last time I came here. There was a caching event on, but someone was camping at GZ, with their washing out, and so on, so the attempt was called off. Tonight the area was dead (apart from a lonely chained-up bike) and thus we could search in peace, unrestrained.We felt the cache before we saw it, but it was happy days from there. Thanks KittyKatch --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country on which we geocache throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We (the pants people) pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

When I got here the sun was already setting and two motor cyclists were hanging around. Curiously, there is a bicycle locked up to the shelter. The last time I was here there was someone living in this shelter, so today was a big improvement. When I couldn't find the cache with the info I gleaned from the map, description and hint I "widened" my search and suddenly noticed something. Getting to it was another story. I eventually managed to knock it off it's perch onto the ground without killing myself. I then had to go back to the car, because that is where I had left my pen. Replacing the cache was just as exciting. I took a last look at the lake - now covered in satin darkness - and went home. TFTC
Visiting friends in Canberra over the ANZAC day weekend, a quick find after visiting the arboretum. TFTC
Spent so long looking for it and finally found it haha! Forgot to bring a pen so will be back to sign it off ) TFTC!
) TFTC!Was so good to sign a fresh log, however, it did take a little bit to remove the tape from the fresh log, found with my Geo fiancé

Decided to cycle home a different way after the local caching event and pick up some extra caches. TFTC
Cachers are overwriting others as log full. Clearly a very popular cache. Great location.
This spot is bit of a personal favourite of mine going back years, but I don't think I've been here since I started geocaching as I didn't know there was a cache here. The BBQs seem new too. Didn't take too long to find the cache on my morning stretch. Surely no muggle with ever see this one. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC! 
fitzy_1965 & I headed into Canberra to attend a nearby event.
I nabbed this one whilst in the area....ok JohnoMawbs had to retrieve for me LOL.

so small! used to come here all the time when i was younger so it was nice coming back and finding this teeny tiny cache hiding here. tftc!!!
Birthday geocache. Cycling around Lake Burley Griffin during a holiday from England, 54 years after I was born here in Canberra. Have to give a favourite point! Rather chilly here!
Great to be able to avenge a dnf on this one with GLISS! tonight. It still took a bit of a hunt to find it but we were successful in the end. Phew! Thanks for the cache.
Found with Nibletricecakes. This took a while but it seems there had been a bit of cache creep. After a chat with the co, we replaced in the correct spot. TFTC.
Beautiful Autumd day for 'caching. The colours reflected on the still waters were stunning.

I’ve attempted this one many times but there always seemed to be muggles about. Today I visited with the geopup and had the whole area to ourselves. TFTH
Although there were muggles around, it looked like I was stretching while I collected this cache.
Found this one easy enough as l had the whole car park to myself to search. No real trouble locating this tiny little hide and took in some nice views over the water and dam, nice spot to have a bite to eat. Thanks Kittykatch for the hide and for highlighting this picturesque area.
Today’s adventures out and about around the Arboretum and surrounds on a blustery ️ winter’s day.
All logs in good condition unless otherwise noted.
Thanks to COs for placing and maintaining these caches

Good timing today. Just after I've returned to the car from cache site, roughly 20 hikers come walking around the bend and sit down at GZ for lunch. Thanks for the cache, quite a quick find this morning.
Third day of our school holiday week in Canberra and there were no museums or tours booked. Every time I have travelled to Canberra in the past I have done the Lake Burleigh Griffin bicycle ride. Alas, the usual bike rental shop was no more. We tried the hotel pick up version, but found inventory presented on the website was in accurate so we were always a bike short. Finally arranged a half day hire and with all the caches scattered around the lake, it was well worth persisting.
I had to be selective with my finds, as the kids wouldn’t appreciate a pit stop every 200m. This was stop number 4 on the ride. The cache took a little time to find, we used the hint, which focused us and soon we had the container. We signed at Position 35 in the log book. Log book dry and replaced safe and sound. Thanks very much for placing this cache Kittykatch. Cheers

Quite a quick find and I actually managed to reach it! However the log took so long to take out but we got there in the end. TFTC KittyKatch!
With a day off and a Geocaching event on in Canberra, I decided on taking the trip over. I haven't done much geocaching lately due to personal commitments, TAFE and work. So, it was great fun being able to enjoy a drive and getting to do some caching. Due to the wet weather, I was able to get a couple on the to-do-list, which I wasn't able to get because of muggles. After a great drive around the middle of Canberra collecting 's, I then headed off to the event which was great fun. It was full of: Pizza, Party Bags, Games, Many fellow cachers and of course... CAKE! Happy 1st Birthday 'Dark_Blu'. Then it was time to head home and I found a cache at about the 1/3 of the way home mark to break up the trip. TB visit on caches. I would like to thank all CO's of the caches I found for allowing them to bring the Geocaching community enjoyment. TFTE and TFTC's
After breakfast at Gold Creek Macca's, I headed to this cache first. This one has been on the to-do-list for quite some time and today being a wet day, there weren't any muggles around and a quick find was made. Now, onto the next one.
