Unfortunately the cache has gone missing again. There is lots of housing construction close by, and the tradies have set up a picnic table at gz under the shade of the tree, making it too difficult to be a cache location. Sadly must archive.

A short detour to make my penultimate find of nine for the day. I've been here a couple of times to do the Coombs parkrun but never thought to check for caches in the vicinity. A nice and easy find. TFTC.

This week consisted of getting away from work early enough to visit a cache, either on my scooter or driving, to try and continue building up my calendar finds days. Some days needed a specific cache type as well. This week was nice weather wise and made for a pleasant afternoon.

Thanks for the cache charlotteleclerc

Walking past the area so stopped off for look. Searched the item at GZ but could find anything like a cache, so expanded the search to other possible spots, but alas still nothing.

Thanks anyway charlotteleclerc.....

Seems the cache may have gone AWOL .... will check and replace if necessary later this week after the heat

Looked with two pairs of eyes to no avail.
May have been cache blind due to being a little bit in a hurry.

After 17.5 hours at work today, I needed an easy cache with just 15 minutes left to find the daily. This one was perfect. A bit late for bird spotting, but seems like a nice spot for it! TFTC!

Thanks for the cache

New log installed. I stayed here for 20 minutes and completed a Birdlife Australia Birdcount. While here I saw, Darters, a White faced heron, Black ducks, Cootes, Welcome swallows, Galahs, a silver gull, a lone Pelican, several Cormorants, Rock doves and a couple of Magpie-larks. This is the main reason I placed a cache here as it is a great bird watching spot, and very peaceful
 
23-Oct-20
I spotted the cache as I walked towards it. Good coordinates. Log is full and someone has left a scrap of paper. Needs a CO visit to leave a new log. TFTC charlotteleclerc.

We met up with ALL7 for another fun day of Geocaching. We have quite a few to do in and around the Weston Creek area, so on such a beautiful winters day we decided that a walk along the river was in order. After finishing our walk, we enjoyed a coffee and went our own ways. Still a bit time up our sleeve until we needed to be somewhere, we decided to clear out a couple more. A quick find, nice spot to spend an afternoon.

Thanks for the hide.

I made use of dropping Pebbles at sport to clear out a bit more of the caches in Wright. A number of caches found, including one previous DNF, but also a new DNF.

Quick find, nice place for a cache. This lake looked pretty in the evening light.

Thank you charlotteleclerc for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

In these coronavirus times, the activity of geocaching seems to fit the bill, providing ample fresh air and exercise opportunities. Today, I sought out several caches in the Molonglo Valley before walking with a muggle friend. This cache was a straightforward find, being in an obvious position even though my device suggested that it was about 5m from the coordinates. Thank you charlotteleclerc for installing and maintaining this cache.
 
So sad we couldn’t find it! Found an empty glass jar?

#15844. Day 15 of our 2 weeks holiday in the ACT and surrounds. This is our last day before heading home tomorrow.

What a gorgeous day the ACT has turned on for us, blue skies and sunshine and wonderful autumn scenery as we take the long road to Uriarra Village. Rob is hoping to finish off the Mapping Challenge today so we need to head to the Village for a cache. A most enjoyable day caching away from suburbia. We finished the day with 65 finds and 2 DNFs so can't complain about that.

We had tried to get to this one the other day but with limited mapping on our GPSr we couldn't find the way in. Today using my phone mapping we had no troubles and were here at 9.32am. The water was calm and the area was very peaceful and inviting. We sat and admired the views for a few minutes before continuing on our way.

Thanks charlotteleclerc

The penultimate day in Queanbeyan.
BettyBoo3747 and I decided to head west and investigate the Uriarra Village.
Picked up a small pile along the road out there and back.
A lovely sunny day with lots of bikes on the road.

Our GPSr has an older map and didn't have most of the suburb here, the phone helped a lot.
A nice lake to sit and look over on a Saturday morning.
Thanks, Robmc.
