The artwork sculptures have been removed and taken to a new location so there is no purpose for a cache now . Time to archive .

Statue destroyed

Statue structure has been removed.
Will disable and watch to see if it returns after adjustments or gone for good .
Disabled for now anyway .

Found it, but could not extract the cache (it's a bit stuck, and there are muggles). Photo uploaded as evidence.

Found It!
Thankfully there was no one else around here today. After a bit of a search I spotted the cache but then it took longer to extract it from the structure!

TFTC the farmers. Great hiding spot.

Nice day to pick up some early caches. Lots of manipulation required. TFTC

Soup

Thank you!

Found with Jondub. A lot of wiggling required! Good hide TFTC!

Found with Curloo

So defeated
Oh good 30 mins were invested but couldn’t solve it

Got lucky with this one. Spotted very quickly! TFTC!

Found after a short search but tool twice as long to get the cache free

That took a lot of wiggling but eventually came out. TFTC

Very tricky to retrive. Too many muggles around to spend time getting it out.

This one got the better of me!

Nice hiding spot. Thanks for the catch

Nice catch

Hard to get in or get out. TftC.

Very cool sculpture and very different from the usual fair. That was a seriously strong attractions had me fighting in between the muggles. Lots of fun!

A small size green cylinder

Hopped onto my bike and ORIGINALLY was just going to go caching in the ANU, doing a bit of a spring clean up (or a Christmas clean up as it is almost Christmas). Well after saying 'Just one more' several times I somehow found myself at Manuka Oval, how did that happen? I swear I was at the ANU like a few minutes ago. Hmmmmm... Oh well, at least I got quite a few! Like way more than I had intended . Arrived back home 6 hours later with legs that felt like jelly

TOTAL HAUL FOR TODAY: 22 CACHES SPREAD OVER 5 TYPES (yay a PB!)

THIS CACHE:
Stealth was difficult as there were so many people going in and out of the building. So I pretended to be taking pictures of the sculpture. My GZ was a good 8m out so I had some difficulty locating the cache. Luckily a previous photo allowed me to narrow the search are and soon saw it. Getting it out was another story. What a bold hide! TFTC The Farmers 5!

Cool hide! Didn’t take too long to spot, but a looong time to obtain - intermittent stealth required. TFTC!

found

super well hidden

Great hiding spot! After 2 searches finally found it!

Took a little bit for is to find but got it!Thank goodness for the little hands in the family!

Very small and a great challenge

Took us a few passes and as I was looking for any photos, the geokid found it. Thankfully she has small fingers! Tftc.

After aborting the search at the last cache due to the rain seriously hampering my vision, I thought I'd come past here as I remembered this to be under cover. I had scouted out the location and cache in anticipation of just a night like this a few months ago for a quick park and grab when working on my 365 day streak.

I kind of like this sculpture, even though it looks a bit haphazardly thrown together.

Took the bike into the city for an extended run/ride around the lake, and grabbed a few caches on the way. A quick and easy find. TFTC!

Twelfth of 14 finds on a morning walk through the wetlands and around the lake. Today was the right day to be here, the quietness was needed as we are notoriously bad at these kinds of caches. Enzo felt the well hidden container on his third pass so we were in luck! TNLNSL TFTC

Out for a day of cycling n caching with Winter Dragon
Found easily, cool spot
Last one for the day for us
TFTC

An interesting sculpture, and a great spot for a cache.. provided you're there on a Sunday with nobody else in sight . We felt our way around the artwork, but it took TWDG making a second pass with knowledge that it wasn't a nano, to find the cache. Nice hide.

TNLN - Thanks Farmers 5!

What a fabulously interesting sculpture. After a late lunch on Easter Sunday down on the foreshore, we had some time to kill before the AFL match t Manuka, so a bit of gentle urban caching was called for. After our finds this morning, my caching goggles were well and truly in focus, as I found the cache remarkably quickly for me. Aft-er a few stern looks, it was plain sailing, and cache was in hand. I have thin long fingers, so not too difficult to extract. TFTC TF5 and for highlighting this intriguing piece of art.

Recommend this at night, we had a easy muggle free search. However, needed as much time as we could get, it took many laps before we found it. Annoyingly my muggle partner found it, and is now teasing me that he’s the better cacher! Very clever hide, just needs a bit of thought around the information you know. Thanks for bringing us to this interesting sculpture and spot The Farmers 5!

Took a little while but on a Sunday afternoon we had plenty of time on our side. Eventually found. Tftc

After a bigger hint from CO, I found it all safe and OK.
My 3rd find for ACT....

TFTC

A drive around the quiet Saturday evening city after dropping the GeoWife off at a Christmas party. What a cool sculpture! Luckily no muggles tonight to watch me search. A cool hiding place and a slightly tricky removal, but soon had CIH and signed & replaced. A great hide, thanks Farmers 5.

Tricky little hide but spotted by my wingman DeadThief. No one around so logged and returned. Thanks

Quick find with Turtle284 after a little stroll towards the Australian Tourism building. A nice little hide. TFTC

Nice and quick.

Great hide for a Sunday arvo!

Chill evening golden hour find.

Lovely sculpture !

Found it! Hail and sail...

So many nooks and crannies for possible hiding places! This is a really interesting sculpture. Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC

Oof

Found it. Coordinates were off but I kept going back to what I thought it was! Unfortunately I lost my own so hopefully the next person can add me “codawives on 11/5 thank you.

Nice and easy to find. TFTC

Quick find with sjg66

Found it!

Cool spot

Great little cache. TFTC

Found by flashlight. Took a bit of effort to get out of its hiding spot. TFTH

I'm in town on business from the US, and I couldn't leave without claiming a cache or two. This nice litte hide was within easy walking distance from my hotel. It only took a moment or two to locate. Thanks for the cache!

Thanks!

Thanks

Found today after a visit to my son"s place. Interesting piece of art and sneaky bold hide

TFTC The Farmers 5

What a cool statue! Reminds me of the mini golf course at Bateman's Bay, both because of the look, and the subject of the statue!
Found a car key at GZ, so hopefully it finds it's way back to its owner, saw a car demolished by the recent hail storm, and I also found another reason to bring TOTT! Darn these fat fingers! ️ TFTC!

Geocaching 101

Quick grab at lunch while for a walk. Lots of building works so not too many around.

TFTC!

Heading through Canberra on our way back to brisbane. The bushfires are having a terrible effect on the town. Cache found in good condition.
TFTC

What an interesting structure. Found on an early morning walk around the local area. The whole ground floor is closed for construction so besides a couple of dog walkers, there was no one around.
Cache was a little tricky to retrieve, but is hidden well.
I forgot to bring a pen so took a photo. TFTC

Pretty exposed, but replaced a little better. Thanks for the hide

Short walk during break on training courses, cache very exposed I replaced a bit better,but condition all good

Artistic hide!!

Out for a morning jog while I’m Canberra for work. TFTF.

An awesome spot for a hide

I was walking in the area and saw there was a cache just there. It took me a while as the coordinates are a bit off and the cache got stuck. Eventually the log was signed and I had to replace it in a slightly different position because I couldn’t get it back in. Thanks, great cache!

OCW Sensible Shoes & Shoes Junior. Found on our way to Questacon. Signed as Shoes x3 TFTC

Found on our way to Questacon, signed as the shoes x3.

Ahhhh, sneaky! Little Shoes spotted and grabbed this one for us, as we walked from our hotel to Questacon. Tftc [may have signed as The Shoes X3]

Took an early stroll through the nearby streets and got to this place without any workers yet arriving and laid my hands on this neatly planted cache. CIGC TNLN TFTC

Found while at work on a Sunday. Grabbed Subway nearby for lunch and thought I’d check for caches nearby. Great hide, but I was without a pen. Will have to return to sign.

Ah, so that)'s what Mirambeena is. A friend worked in this building when we played a diff gps game and would often talk about fighting over Mirambeena. Thanks for bringing me here.

Round and round the sculpture a few times and then thinking where would I hide it . There it was. How did I not spot it

Took us a few circuits but we got it!

Boats, bird's grapes, towers, waves, a lot to see in one statue

Dodged the passing muggles to make this find. TFTC

We are just back in Canberra for a few days and decided to try and catch up on some of the caches which have been laid since we left. This one nearly eluded me today, I walked around for nearly 10 minutes and was very happy that I had the place to myself, until finally spotting it. a very clever little hide. Thank you Farmers 5 for placing this cache, it is great to be back in Canberra. Domsky.

A few days caching in the ACT and surrounds with Steeba and The Rats, another trip away like countless others that we have done before. We got the dates, we did the planning, we worked out a route. But there was one thing that we could not plan for; the weather.

The caches were excellent. The company faultless. The weather; atrocious. High winds, cold, sleet, rain, mush, icy, snow, we had it all! But we endured, and had a fantastic time regardless. Did I mention that it was cold? Bone chillingly cold. I am not sure my fingers have as yet recovered! Some roads were even closed due to snow, curtailing our route and resulting in some last-minute changes.

Please forgive the boiler-plate log, I assure you it is no reflection on the caching experience of our few days away. Thank you to all cache owners for their hides.

Cheers

A very chilly couple of days in and around the ACT with The Rats and Hoojar- most of the time the temperature didn't peak above 4 degrees! Amongst the sleet, rain, wind and cold however we made plenty of finds on mainly a number of power trails. TFTC!

Headed out for a caching run with steeba and Hoojar that had a bit of everything. These caching runs are planned months in advance and to-date have been perfect. This trip was no different – except for the influence of the WEATHER. A weekend in the Canberra hills that had howling winds, driving rain, sleet, hail, snow, frozen body parts slippery icy tracks, closed roads and temps that never got higher than 6 deg by day and were subzero all night, but alas we had a great boys weekend caching.

Apologises for the generic log but it doesn’t detract from the caching fun, except for the WEATHER which played a major part in our weekend. Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides.

A quick find. The weekend is definitely the best time for this one we barely saw another person. TFTC.

Sneaky!

Ahh I can't find it ️️️

My work conference was to be held just 50m from this building and sculpture but I decided it would be more prudent to get it on the Sunday evening as I was staying so close by.
As others have found extracting the micro is the real issue here.
Thanks Farmers 5

Had tried a week ago and had trouble getting it out - made more difficult with muggles coming and going. Back today with no one around and it came out instantly. Could have made life easier if it was that quick first time. Tftc

Out for a Sunday breakfast and stopped for a few caches. This was a tricky find and enjoyable nonetheless! TFTC

Relatively quick find in the evening. Noone around at this time

Day seven in Queanbeyan. BettyBoo3747 and I started the day with the AL around town then morning tea with SmittenGranny. Back home and dropped of the dogs and picked up the deadly treadlies for a ride by the lake.

The GPSr said we were still a distance away from GZ, but who could resist this sculpture?
BB spotted the cache, but it took both of us to get it out of its hidey hole! (I got it nearly out the first time, but it jumped back in!)
Nice sculpture and hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

#15607. Day 7of our 2 weeks holiday in the ACT and surrounds. We are staying at Carwoola.

An interesting day today with a lovely variety of caches both here in Queanbeyan and then around the Lake in town. We had some early morning dog walkies whilst doing Little Miss Duncan and then morning tea with Smitten Granny before taking the bikes and heading to town to gather up a few more caches. Ten today but all good fun. An extra multi almost completed and the I Love Canberra whereIgo is well underway too.

Last cache for the day. A deserted place and the sculpture is a nasty piece of work to find where a cache might be hidden. I eventually spied it but it was a tricky container to get out of its hiding hole. Took ages as it kept wanting to jump back in. Did finally manage to retrieve it and add our names to the log sheet.

Thanks The Farmers 5

Today we found Mirambeena on our travels. On our last day in the ACT while attending the Clear Waters Mega. Isn’t it always the way, a public holiday.... the area of a cache was completely deserted until we extracted it then two people showed up to squiz into the building and discuss the benefits of a leasing in it even though they couldn’t get in. Oh good lord! They eventually left after we had shown far too much interest in the sculpture!
Thanks The Farmers 5 for being part of our geocaching fun.

Having a caching day out with friends bobbiiesgirl and joojoo57. logs were signed team job to save room.
Our first day out since Late January. What better way to spend it than on a dimorgan trail,
