Plenty of space here. Didn't spot the cache on the first look due to the attachment!

Thanks,

TFTC!

Great to find with friends

Desperate to entertain the spiderlings of an afternoon and I'm googling Canberra playgrounds so here we are. And they completely ignore the playground, kicking the footy on the grass. Why do I never learn? Either way, I abandoned them with Daddy Long Legs and wandered off for the two nearest geocaches. This was first and a quick find, thankfully muggle-free. TFTC thebellasboys
 
23-Sep-19
This one had been muggled again. We found the container and logbook a few metres from the rock and lid. Signed the log and put the cache back together. Not sure how long it will last though!!

13-Apr-19
Found with Googlasaurus & bushwalkinggirl after catching up with friends at the playground. At least, we found the log - it was lying in the open & there was no sign of a container. Signed the log & hid it in the tree - will need a new container. Thanks for maintaining the cache & better luck with the next one!

Container is missing

It's good to have kids searching - they found it in an instant. I wouldn't have found it alone

Together with [email protected]

Found this one together with veganchris. Our son actually was the first to spot it.
Nice playground nearby!
 
26-Dec-18
A family group at the picnic area were fully engrossed in their own function which made for a nice quick find and log. TFTC
 
22-Dec-18
A 1/1 cache! A much rarer D/T than you would think! This is definitely not true to it's rating however, a person in a wheelchair wouldn't be able to find it, and that camo is pretty good! I would give it a 2 or 2.5 D! The hint certainly brings the difficulty down though given it is very specific!

An interesting little park, but with this huge amount of space I think it could do with a renovation! So many spectacular new and interesting parks popping up in Gungahlin, this one could do with an upgrade.

Thanks for the hide!

Attending a birthday party nearby and took the opportunity to introduce some younger players to this great game Wink. They did an ace job navigating and finding the treasure. Nice little cache. Thanks thebellasboys

Ah, another cache has appeared near my home in lower Kambah! A quiet morning, so off I headed. This cache was a straightforward find, being in an obvious spot on the coordinates. Cleverly camouflaged and better located than the previous cache at the adventure playground, hopefully this will will survive muggling for longer. Thank you thebellasboys for installing and maintaining this cache.
 
22-Nov-18
After investigating a potential decoy, widened my search somewhat and was soon signing the log. TFTC thebellasboys

A nice quick find. TFTC

During a brief respite in the storm, I popped over here whilst the other geoson was at his Saturday afternoon activity. I came here trying out a hunch for a multi for which I only have partial coords. All I found was a tennis ball so I decided to come and find this cache whilst I was here. It was a quick find today. A nicely hidden cache with a nice new pencil too (which was handy because my pen wouldn't write on this log paper for some odd reason). Replaced as found. TFTC.

Replaced pencil

#3165 After a short hunt around the area, the cache was quickly found. Great camo. Signed as the sound of people enjoyed the sunny day at the playground. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache. Made a nice quick find while out riding around the area.

Great hide. Tftc

Walking from Fadden to kambah pool, this was one cache along the way. Excellent hide, near a very busy park. Voted. Tftc.

Find number 101 with the geokids on a terrible windy afternoon. We almost gave up as we were doing it from memory with a phone. Then big geokid followed the instructions that I gave her and found it easy as pie. Thanks for the cache.
 
29-Jul-18
Cool cache, thanks
 
24-Jul-18
I think every rock in the area has been turned over - then nearly missed it anyway.

I'm nicely retired. My lady still works, but she has her kids for a couple of weeks for school holidays, so she is taking time off to spend with them, and I am spending most of my time with the three of them. However, I still need my daily fix of caches, for my 365- and 366- day challenges, and for sanity.
Today I’m a fair bit better, but still nowhere near 100%. I’m out running errands, so I stopped off at the nearest cache to Tuggeranong that I haven’t found. I was able to park, stroll across, and, avoiding plagues of muggles who were luckily playing with equipment, I quickly found the cache. Nice hide.
I’ve been reading DarkSideDan’s logs. I’ve found out about the Author Badge for getting an average one hundred words per log. I usually do decentish logs (in size anyway), so I looked up my stats and found my average log size is 98 words. I don’t know how they do the rounding, so I’ll assume the worst, and say I have 3 words per log to make up. That’s around 12000 words, giving a generous allowance for notes, DNFs, problem logs etc. Hopefully I can do that by the end of the year. I might even write a program to calculate my average myself …

Great find thank you!

Excellent hide! First find for me in a looooong time - been out of the game for a while for various reasons. Getting excited to get back into it Smile
 
10-Jul-18
It was very mindbending to find it but we found it. Yay!

Very good. Like it.

One out of two found, feeling a little down, but geo grandkid, found this with the hint, elated us, lovely spot in this playground.
 
With a couple of spare hours this morning decided to clear out a few of the nearby caches to home. Beaut morning for it. TFTC.

Found @ 8:44pm

This year I’m aiming to complete my geocaching calendar and this was the last of four dates I need to cross off in June.

This was my second cache attempted today as I tried (and failed) to find Bridge Banter VIIIc on the way home from work.

I ducked out after dinner (and after watching a double episode of Young Sheldon) and made a quick find of this one as the coords were spot on!

Thanks thebellasboys

Being Sunday there were lots of children with their parents in the nearby playground, but fortunately not near GZ. Good coordinates. This cache had thought and work in its construction. A favourite tick from me. TFTC thebellasboys.

Passing through for a quick and easy find. Loved the location that so open and lively with families. TFTC thebellasboys.
 
26-May-18
A very familar playground, both from youth and previous geocaching events, that was great to revisit. After a short walk past some happy families, the cache was soon in hand at GZ - nicely hidden! TFTC thebellasboys!

15,756. Found during a Canberra Meander while others were off doing the HMAS Series.

After dropping minniek and nibletricecakes off at the Arboretum I headed off to grab a number of caches scattered around south Canberra. This was the next one. This is a nicely put together cache for such a busy area. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and headed off to the next one.

Thanks thebellasboys !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Stopped off on the way back from the movies with my oldest son, a fun find in the dark before we headed off out for dinner together. A well constructed cache that blends nicely, thanks for the cache thebellasboys.
 
11-May-18
Brrrrrrrr ... on my way from work to an art exhibition opening in Tuggeranong - with enough spare time for a cache, or 2 Smile
TFTC - interesting to come back and visit ... I used to live in Kambah when my kids were small ... Last time I came here the play equipment was made of wood...

Found with IamCoust

Found with The Matetrix. He’s quick, but not quicker...not yet. TNLNSL TFTC
 
09-May-18
Very cool shady spot
 
02-May-18
A quick stop to make the find while on the way to the chemist to get some supplies to fight the dreaded head cold!
I’ve done a few caches at the park but they all seem to get muggled before long. This one hopefully will be safe. No muggles around at this time of day so the path was clear.

01-May-18
Yeah, a good find.
 
30-Apr-18
Drop my Mum and dad off to Dentist.. I took my geodog walked to the park.. Beautiful warm weather.... Thanks
 
29-Apr-18
We just returned from a trip to Greece, so to shake off the jetlag we went on our usual run around Lake Tuggeranong, with a small detour to find this one. Since it was raining, we had to contend with wet camo, but found it quickly. A nice hide. Thanks for the cache! Smile
 
26-Apr-18
Chooo ooo [FTF] on a wonderful Thursday afternoon. This one was close to home, so headed off as soon as it was published! I've found caches here a number of times over the years, but this one is nicely hidden and should last the distance! A well constructed cache with good coordinates in a nice spot, so a favourite point from me! Thanks TBB.
