Time for this one to go, thanks for the visits!

No luck here, this one needs some TLC from the owner. All we found was a little frog in their home.

Taking offline until I can check it…

A quick pickup after we had collected the very interesting data in a delightful park. GZ was at a gorgeous large gum tree with beautiful views. Quick and easy find. TFTC allrounder.

What an interesting multi.
Came past here with Joolay, KittyKatch and Barb2e after a drive to the southern tip of the ACT and on the hunt for a multi that wouldn't take too much time (looming rain).

After a day running around far south I still needed a Multi for the day. This was solved a while back but left for a day when I needed to fill my multi calendar. Quick find and all good with cache.
Thanks For getting me out and about allrounder

Found after a walk with some friends back on Coolemon Ridge. Nice spot to hide a multi and I enjoyed the walk to GZ. Pen problems so I sent the CO a photo to prove my find.

Thanks for hiding this cache allrounder

Miss 5 is starting to love the multi. Thank you for setting up a simple offset multi for us to enjoy together!

Out for an after work cache with GLISS! And thought it time to pick this one up after we grabbed the clues needed to solve it last time we were in the area. A great little cache. TFTC

Nibletricecakes and I collected the clues for this one when we were in the area a few months ago. We needed a non-trad tonight for a challenge, so headed south after work and made a quick find here. TFTC.

Parked nearby and gathered the information for the coords. A short walk to GZ trailed by a friendly dog. For once.

Surprisingly took a bit of time to identify the cache but eventually signed the log. TFTC CUC & Hodge

A quick and easy find on a chilly morning. The cache is in good dry condition. Thanks for the cache!

Whilst geokids at training I thought to take a look at this quiet little area. Always interesting when things like this pop up, although it looks to have been here quite a while. Standing in a light drizzle the required details we taken. Worked out GZ back in the geomoble then took the quick drive to GZ. Cache found, signed and replaced before taking a few moments to enjoy the view. Back to the geomobile and off to collect the munchkins. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice little multi and indeed a great spot to admire the views. Tftc

I've been holding out to find this cache for a long time now! I always see it sitting on my map when I am nearby, but run out of time before I make it here!

So after the community celebration event at the Kambah Woolshed had concluded, I found myself in the perfect position to come find it!

Parked nearby and wandered over to WP1 to carefully get my values and do the calculations. Plotted it on my map and it looked pretty promising, and within walking distance so headed off on foot!

Arrived promptly and after a careful search the well hidden container was uncovered!

Thanks, a good little multi!

A change of plans led to a new plan, and with GreyHams we set out to target some south side pockets of yet to find caches. A good mix of ones we both needed with just as many thrown in that just one had found, following the gaps in the map.

A real mix of caches along the way of type and location including suburban park and grabs, a few short walks and up and across some decent hills.

Tuggeranong Hill was the destination as we cached along the way and then on the way home after, the map is going to look so much better and we surely put in a lot of steps! The plan of Goodberries was sadly not to be with Easter closures but we did at least try to turn that frown back around...

Many thanks for your cache, we managed many but they all led to an enjoyable day out visiting many different locations. This was very well hidden and took a good look, I 'may' also have damaged GreyHams in the process... sorry!

Looked around for what we thought would be the exact location for the Geocache but did not find it. Hopefully we will figure it out next time!

An interesting little spot, gathered the required information, then went for the nice walk to a great GZ. Cache all OK.

Thanks,

A long day caching in Canberra that started with a park run at Lake Tuggeranong, some caches in the lake area and then a move all over Canberra to end up at the event at the southern cross club. Lots and lots of walking and even more hills, but that's no surprise in Canberra. Secretly I actually like the hills and the views that come with it. Only a few DNF's today, my bad and all caches were in good condition! Thanks to all the owners for placing them.

Overwhelmed by so much temptation in and around the Clear Waters Mega precinct, chose to concentrate on caches while in town that assisted or completed challenges I’m chasing. This one ticked off an “interstate multi” and became one of my “must do’s” when rock-hopper commented the title was her maiden name. Waypoint and GZ turned out to be close to her family’s history so maybe there is a connection along the line.

NIce area that's well-cared for, and as it shares my maiden name I had to claim a find on this one!

Good Friday 19/04/19
Not many finds today as I met up with some non-caching friends to begin my day. They were very excited to see me as quite a number of them haven’t seen me seen 2016. After all that excitement, I headed out for lunch and then caching. I met up with mizmaz and followed each other round to find todays caches. I quite enjoyed my day out finding caches around the area even though they were spread out and thin, I discovered some unique locations. If it wasn’t for caching I would never have visited these spots! Thanks for bringing me to them! TB visit on all caches. Thanks for each cache I found today and allowing them to bring joy to me and others! TFTC’s

Thank you! Took a bit of searching but we there in the end. Lovely view.

Thanks for the cache on the geokids first multi. Returned after a dnf on a cold cold morning. When the sun is shining things are nicer and geokids dont frown. Tftc

Hodge the geohound took his mate Hunter and me for a walk to check this one after the DNF - he was happy to see the cache was where it was meant to be!

Dnf. Found gz. Check sums good. Dnf?

I really enjoyed this multi. BEAUTIFUL GARDEN and Great walk around path and garden... Thanks

The old signboard has been replaced with a much clearer version so the question for F has been updated (the answer remains the same)...cache on!

An early start for me, with the chance to get a cache or two before heading down to Kambah Pool for a group walk. I must say that this was a perfect start to the day too, and what I enjoy most about caching - an interesting location in perfect weather, with lots of birds chirping away to keep me company. After deciphering the GZ coords, with grateful assistance from the checksums, it was time to head off in the opposite direction to what I had predicted, and then to make a straightforward find. TFTC and a fav point from me.

#8685 @0755
A mornings caching to pick up some more multis I didn't get time for yesterday. Information easily collected, cords calculated and checked against the checksums. A short stroll and the log was soon signed. TFTC.

What a fantastic little garden area, I love the idea that a little community has sprung up to build and maintain this little oasis. Quick and simple multi with the information informative and easy to read. GZ is nice and close as well. Favourite from me

Most of the questions were straightforward, however I was stumped on F, but backward mathematics gave me the right answer. A nice pleasant stroll to GZ where I found the cache safe and sound. Log a little damp, but all fine really. This was another of those "I never knew this was here" moments. After all the hard hiking I have done the last two days this was a sweet change. Nice! Tftc!!!

"If it was there"? You don't appear to have logged a DNF.

I have not needed to perform maintenance on this cache as yet so, yes, it was there.

I had looked for this one last year. Back then I got all the clues and worked out where the cache would be and searched, but with no success. Today I tried again and found it after a few minutes. I am sure I would have found it in that spot if it was there before. Anyway this time it is a "find". Thanks for the fun.

This took us to a pretty area which we had never come across before. After learning a few things about this place, we went for a short walk and soon had this cache in hand. Thanks for the cache!

We did the homework after a short walk to WP1 and were surprised to see such a lovely garden and much gardening work done by a keen group of carers.
After this it was a short walk to GZ, where we found a cache that has been unloved for almost 6 months. This said, our logging duties have been lazy, and we see that someone has found it today! This means the cache has been loved twice in the last week!
Nice one,
Thanks allrounder,

Domsky

Our maiden trip and first find. Great fun. Thanks.

TFTC - nice spot and gardens; quickly solved and found

F(H)ound It! 12:15:00 PM

I really enjoyed this multi. We love a bit of regeneration and this garden is so pretty. The area has really improved since when I used to muck around here as a kid. There was a convenient seat at WP1 while I made the calculations and the walk to GZ showed off a bit more of the plantings. Great place to walk the Ridgeo-pup too. Thanks for the cache allrounder

Ridgeo-pup pic attached:

What a wonderful landscaping job by the Crozier urban carers. Thanks to all rounder for bringing me to this place.
Local children are building a leaf cubby around the GZ tree. Hopefully they don't inadvertently disturb the cache.

The Crozier Urban Carers have done a fantastic job and this is such a pleasant area to walk through.

I came through here a few days back, but I was a bit short of time and didn't have my GPSr with me. So I snapped a photo of the sign and used it to answer the questions back at home. Tonight I was going through again and went to find the actual cache after finding the nearby Sally's Run. The coordinates were spot on and the cache was a simple find in the first spot I tried.

TFTC - while there wasn't much of a view to be had in the darkness tonight, I really do like it around here. A terrific spot for a cache

Very interesting bit of bush land. Amongst the houses. I wonder what it looked like before the land care group did their work.
Would also be interesting to come back and look for some of the birds.
Thanks for another one of those really interesting tidbits that I would have not known unless for caching.
Cheers!

On a very Foggy morning I headed south to try for a few caches. I had a puzzle for today, so I decided to throw in a multi. No problems with the formula for once and the cache was soon in hand.

Thanks.

It's nice to see local residents taking an interest in their surroundings. I took the TB 'friends 2' travelling with me. TFTC allrounder.

An easy multi and find. TFTC allrounder.

8947 and 17th of 26 found today.[font=Verdana] [Green] After a stop for lunch it was back out to nab a few more caches while FFP is at one of those secret women's business sell-a-thon thingys. Anyway no dramas picking up the required information and then a quick find - once the dog walker decided he wasn't interested in me anymore. Used to come here wooing my first wife many many years ago in a galaxy quite close to here.[/Green]


Thanks for the cache [Blue]allrounder[/Blue] and the doings. [font=Verdana]

An engaging cache with great work by urban gardeners. Found with Marmaduke R.

Found with the missus this afternoon. TFTC.

Found at 1210 - a nice easy offset in a quiet garden with a quick find at the end if the trail. The info at WP1 was easily collected (better hope Glenn never loses his phone!) and the maths added up, and a short stroll later the cache was in hand. After signing the log I swapped a puzzle cube for a domino and eyed off the JLT pathtag, but decided to leave it for another cacher as I already had one in my collection.

Thanks for the cache allrounder - and Hodge the geohound!

A hot March day but quickly found and logged. Tftc

Found on a lovely public holiday around Tuggeranong. Parked on one of the streets nearby and took a short stroll to the information sign. I had no idea that this park was here, so I was very happy to find this cache. After quickly obtaining the answers, we took a very shot walk to GZ for a quick find. Nicely set up. TNLNSL. TFTC allrounder!

another simple multi picked up on a hot afternoon with JoeyLovesTreasure. Nice to find a way into this little hideaway park - very pretty place indeed. Generating the numbers was not 100% straightforward, but we took a punt and came out with coords that matched the checksums. Another gentle meander to the GZ and the cache was in hand pretty quickly, despite JLT thinking it was another sort of hide

TNLNSL thanks allrounder!

What a lovely spot which exemplifies the link community and nature - a bit like geocaching. TFTC Allrounder, left a Pathtag

3849. A nice little spot to visit that I would have had no idea existed had it not been for the CO bringing me here. The info was gathered without any dramas and a quick find at GZ. None of them nasty marsupials here!
Thanks for the cache and bringing me here.

Used to spend quite a bit of time very close by so all was familiar territory in a nice, easy to get to and easy to find location close to home. I had thought Elvis would want more of a walk than he got today but he is passed out cold at my feet none-the-less.... mind you... he's a spaniel, so what do you expect.

The tenth find for the day whilst riding in the area. As I was passing through the area, I decided to do this one. The rain was certainly coming down quite a bit so I had to make it a quick search. I arrived at WP1 and quickly collected the required info. Calculations made and I was off to GZ. Once there, the cache was found quickly in the easing rain. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC allrounder!

A quick find with Jr. Cachehunter #1 after lunch. A lovely little area very well planted by the Crozier Urban Carers.

A quick bit of botanical humor is in the name of one of the parts of the final coordinates. Grevillea iaspicula, the Wee Jasper Grevillea, takes its scientific name from the Latin words iaspis (jasper) and ul (small): so put the wee into jasper. Quite clever really. Those botanists are a wacky bunch!

Anyhoo, we enjoyed this little bimble and a walk around the well tended urban garden.

TFTC.

#2673 - 16:40; I was out this way to drop of some boxes which had been taking up space in the garage for too long and decided to grab the daily while I was out here. I picked up the required info for another multi near my drop of zone, but the threat of rain made me delay the trek to GZ for that one. noticed this one not too far away, so headed over. Reached the WP pretty quickly and gathered the required information. Did the calculations and checked against the checksums, all good to go. Had a pleasant stroll to GZ for a quick find and sign. Enjoyed the views and then headed back to the geomobile. A great effort by the locals to develop this area and something others could do too! TFTC and for bringing me to this interesting area allrounder, I favorite methinks

Found at 5:01:00 PM.

I went out for a post party caching trip to find, of all things, some caches that were published by reviewers that I hadn't found for the Unique Reviewer Challenge.

Interesting little spot and a good clear multi. Nice and unambiguous and good to have checksums.

Great stuff Hodge

It is good to see some recognition for a conservation group. It's well deserved. This is a lovely part of Canberra. Thanks for taking me to the area. TFTC

Very neat project that this group has put together, if only there were more groups doing stuff like this around Canberra.. Got to WP1, and after admiring their work I worked out the coordinates and headed off. Sat down for a while at the GZ, nice spot to have a rest as I signed the log, also grabbed the pathtag. Thanks for this one, it was a nice ride on an average day like today!

8800 + 1004 = 9804. A very nice Multi for today's find !

After work I decided to do this Multi that I'd heard nice things about. Gathered the info then a quick find at GZ. No maggie problems today. Very nice cache. The group are doing well !

Thanks allrounder !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Last of 5 multi's today.....and they have all been good fun/interesting.

Have been around here for caches a few years ago but didn't know too much about the group. Arrived at the co-ords today and read the info panel. Obviously a bit of work by those concerned and it shows.

Worked out the required answers and set off for GZ. Glad I hadn't read the found logs as I might have put of coming out this way, but lucky for me, no magpies today and all was good.

Thanks for the cache and the walk around the area. Great spot. Fav point added.

(Now, where did you buy those containers....buying like that would save me both money and time.....)

Decided to do some local caches after attending the trivia event nearby. Simple well constructed multi and some great views at GZ. Thanks allrounder

A nice little multi we sought out after the event nearby today. The COs name got an honorable mention in the questions too! After collecting and calculating, it was a short wander to the cache. Some nice views around here too. Thanks allrounder.

Gumby Maca and I decided it was about time we did another multi. I picked up an awesome glass egg so I just had to drop a few things: a smiley ring, smiley badge and a thong key ring. TFTC.

[green]It's been a while since [purple]Binni[green] and I have done a multi - and the Crozier Urban Carers was a nice way to break the drought [^] The work done by the local Carers is evident, and I've a hunch we encountered a couple of them on our way to the marked coordinates GZ was quickly determined, amidst the interesting notes, and we set off down the road to discover a nicely tucked away cache - and what treasures lay within! [purple]Binni[green] made a few swaps, and I liberated the Nordic Ninja to begin their journey throughout Australia [blue]Thanks for the cache allrounder

What a top little planting!!! And endangered species as well. Thanks for the cache, Allrounder. Good hide, too!!

Well this is one of the spots that Hodge the geohound takes you when you head off on those early (and cold) morning walks. Nice afternoon walk to find the cache then following on through around the golf course. I'll forgive you this time seeing as though I asked you (a couple of times apparently) if I was likely to get swooped on the walk to this one and you said NO! Well news for you allrounder, while you were off with the pups and I made the find at GZ, I GOT SWOOPED!

Discovered the TB
Left pathtags in there for someone else.
TNLN
TFTC

Getting swooped at GZ (didn't happen to me) is not the same as getting swooped on the walk to GZ (which was the question I answered!)!

There's two pathtags for trade in the cache plus one trackable

Chooo ooo *FTF* at 10.15.
Nice little multi. Nice to see people looking after these animals and plants. Ran into sumbloke on the way back! Thanks!

I got the email about this one being placed as I was getting ready to go out. Figured since it was so close I had a chance at the first, so I grabbed some breakfast I could eat as I was going, finished getting ready and left. Got to the listed coordinates and was just finished going through the questions (or so I thought) when Tankengine walked past on his way back to his car.

I put the coordinates in and started going where it said, but it pointed me to the middle of the lake. Double-checked my maths from the data I'd gathered, then headed back to the information board - I'd looked at the landline phone number instead of the mobile number. Redoing my calculations ended up with the right checksums (which I'd missed in the first place), so I was off again and found it this time. Noticed there were two trackables in it, but I hadn't brought any swaps, so I'll just discover them.

Dropping off #Tenzin's "The Blue Gecko" TB to begin its Australian travels - this TB was posted to me from the Netherlands. There are three TRADE items attached to the TB.
