Sneaky little blighter, but found fairly quickly in the end.Signed cache a replaced to hide.TFTC pjbright and len lightning.
Thanks for the cache and the history of this placement. Found it with my GC brain. Thanks All7
Found it! TFTC. We had spare pencils and there were no pencils in the geocache, so I put a pencil under the geocache.
7th of 16 found today.As with previous, many ants, many many ants. Took as long to clear them from my GPSr as to find the cache.The log needs attention.TFTC Pjbright and the revenge
Found It!
A surprisingly quick find here. I walked up and spotted it straight away. I guess sometimes you just get lucky!

Was on a walk past as I’m trying to get a 1000 steps a day and dropped in to check on the cache. Still there. Got the log out to give it a dry and placed safely back. The area is greatly changed from when we placed the cache. Thanks to the finders !!
Found it after a few minutes hunt! The container was what I thought it might be, given the abundance of real ones at GZ
Very well camouflaged! but I saw that chink in the caching disturbance force.
Nice find. Thanks
Nice find. Thanks
Needed a cache for today and when I looked at the map Florey seemed like a good area to look at for a cache in darkness.
I was slightly apprehensive given what I expected to find, but I thought I'd give it a go as I had found caches in similar situations at night.
It was reasonably easy, because it was what I expected.
Logsheet is minimally damp, but usable.
NO muggles!!! Well, a lot of traffic, but I felt quite safe as everyone was busy with driving.

I had an idea of what to look for here, and fortuitously I spied the sneaky hide on approach. Log is in good, dry condition.
Thanks, Pjbright and Len Lightning!

It's Easter Saturday and another glorious day of caching. Parkrun first after a sleepover in Scullin and then caching all over town, knocking of a nice variety of types and sizes.

A DNF for me over 2 years ago but this time I spotted it quickly, although I was searching for this type of container previously. Nice to get a smiley here finally and TFTC PJbright and Len Lightning.
Third time was the charm on this one. We clearly didn’t have our geocaching hats on the last two times. TFTC for the sneaky hide.
DustyEartha and I were in the area collecting another cache. I saw this one was very close so decided to grab this one as well.
Love the area, so many frogs croaking, but we were unable to spot any.

In the area doing some drop offs to COVID infested children! Need Florey for the Mapping Challenge. Quick find at gz, as I'm quite familiar with this type of find. TFTC pjb & LL
Found last weekend with CorvettePete but missed out on logging it at the time. A great hide on a Sunday morning caching adventure. Tftc
Another cache cleanup of the northern Belconnen burbs today as it was just too windy at other locations. With the GPS clearly playing up I needed to use Satellite images to located GZ. Cache well positioned and if I had not seen these kinds of camouflaged containers before it would have been difficult find. Thx for bringing me to this lovely location. TFTC Pjbright and TT and LenLightening.
Found with The Scarlett Leprechaun while on a caching loop along the creek.
She was the first to see this one but it was a bit easy for me to reach.

Couldn't look for long, my son in the pram started getting toey, but I'll be returning to try and find again ASAP!
Out walking with my daughter and granddaughter before lockdown at 5pm. Found after search. SL. TFTC.
A instant find the moment I got to GZ. Pen stopped working because the log was damp. Pic included. TFTC
With my house taken over by my partner and her friends I decided to brave the cold. Despite the rather low temperature and frost already setting in I decided it was a good idea
After seeing the D rating I decided to check some previous logs and had a good idea what I was looking for... after a short yet very cold search I had thw cache in hand.

Out and about with LuckyL10n grabbing a few caches and this was our last stop...after driving around from the John Knight car park. We parked our cars nearby and by the time I walked to GZ, LuckyL10n had the cache in hand. Always good when you've seen a few of these....
Thanks Pjbright......a neat little hide.

#11273 - 11:50:00 AM; A plan was hatched a few days ago with Sol de lune to undertake a mission to collect the GCA GeoArt caches around Lake Ginninderra. While they were the main focus of the day, we picked up a few others as we were passing. The main mission completed, we made one last stop to see if we could find this one, which I had failed to locate on a previous visit. As luck would have it, walked up to GZ and saw it straightaway. Nice to finally get this one off the "to do" list. TFTC Pjbright
Fortunately I am familiar with subject matter of this variety, else it would have taken a while
After playing around with the gps for a bit Aussiepuschaks managed to spot this one. TFTC
Checked the cache on a jog past. The plants have grown so much since the cache was placed. Cache still safely in place.
Was just sitting kinda looking around when I like looked straight at it recognising it as a familar kind of container. Sure enough my sharp eyes were correct. Thanks for the hide.
Found surprisingly quickly upon arrival at the GZ. The frog sounds were very soothing (even with nearby traffic noise). TFTH
Find 184 for the tribe and day 31 of our mini streak.
It's been far too hot for our liking lately to do too much caching over the past few days. The cool change and associated light rain made it a pleasure to be out and about grabbing a few this evening with less fear of slithering things.
This one filled one more square on the grid that we hadn't found to date. Spent a bit of time looking around at GZ, then switched my brain on and made the find quickly after that. Previous finders are right, this one really depends on whether or not you've seen anything like this before.
A nice hide. Thanks for drawing our attention to this newer feature of the area and the impressive value of plants.

Decided to grab this one today as I had a fair idea what kind of hide it was. I figured I would be out there standing around looking for a while. Given the busy intersection nearby this was not the most wanted outcome. However, as previous cachers have said, the coordinates were spot on and I found the cacher almost immediately after arriving at GZ. TFTC
I had just found Ancient Trees when I decided that this cache was worth a quick look, at minimum to check the area for a later search. Couldn’t believe my luck when the coordinates put me on the money and spotted the cache within moments. More luck than I’ve had with similar hides. Thanks PJ and Len for another hide. Cheers.
Found our second cache for 2021. The first was also nearby. This one could've been a lot harder had we not seen a similar cache before. Thanks for bringing us here.
Thanks for the cache! Found with legocacher79.
After reading comments from the others...We had a hunch on what we are looking for and voila we spotted it.

Caching with G, La Shee and Geodog. We had an inkling of what we were looking for and managed to locate the cache. What a clever idea! We really enjoyed this one. TFTC.
G & La_Shee joined me for this one tonight. After searching for a few mins, G spotted it. Yay! TFTC.
Tftc, so the log was complete destoryed so lucky that i have new paper and new log for you CO with ALL7

Jazzy3008 and I were in the area and looking to get a bit of exercise in, so we had a look for an area we could find a few caches. This area looked good and we came and started finding caches...
We had an idea of what we were looking for and started searching. Jazzy3008 soon came up with the goods. Thanks for the cache.

I guessed what I was searching for. I just needed to spot it . Good coordinates. TFTC Pjbright.
Finding this one quickly made me feel like I'm getting better at this. Helps to know what you're . TFTC
Out for a walk with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) and Decrypter. As we were close by, it was decided to have a bit more of a walk from another cache and head here. Once at GZ, cache was located after a short search. Log signed and returned. TFTC
Out on a caching blitz with muppet95, today our hit list contained Lab adventures,mystery caches,letterboxes, virtuals,a wherigo or two and a few high difficultly trads also tossed into the mix,we began our day at the top end of town as we cached down towards the university,across to Mt Ainslie with the adventures also taking us everywhere else all over and in-between before heading back home again,it was a big day out having ourselves an excellent time visiting some unique and interesting places and finding alot of fun,challenging and creative hides along the way.
Had a fairly good idea what we were looking for here it just took some searching to find it!

Teamed up with Bonfire7 for a day of caching in Canberra. We had a very successful day outdoors, tackling a selected list of caches. Thanks to all the Cache Owners for their contributions to this recreational activity.
We knew exactly what to look for and Bonfire7 eventually made the find. TFTC

Tried a few weeks ago. Searched unsuccessfully for quite a while. Wanted to complete Florey so tried again today. Found within a minute this time. TFTC.
Found today with Joolay on a lunch cache drive. Nice hide in amongst the garden
Condition Report:. Good and dry
Log Status:. Lots of room
Thanks for hiding this cache Pjbright

Found with Kittykatch. Was a bit worried it would be hard to find. But have seen this type before and was quickly found. TFTC Pjbright
My mum and I spend almost half an hour looking for this one. Thank you I enjoyed this one and found a glass turtle along the way at a tree! Thank youuuuuu
Initially found a while ago when I had a sudden thought about where it could be, and was right but didn't have a pen, so today I dropped by at the end of a cache hunt to log it properly. Unfortunatly I chose my place to sit down and write the log poorly because both I and the cache got covered in ants.
I really like how sneaky this one is, it takes some effort but it's worth it.

A previous log was useful in identifying a likely position. I gave my kids a tip on the likely container type and they spotted it before too long. Once you know where it is it stands out enough. Thanks for the cache!
Looked around for a bit before thinking logically and locating the cache. A tricky one thanks to the matching camo.
Thanks,
Thanks,
This one got the better of us. O319 and I couldn't find it or the next one along the trail. And to top it off, when we got back to our car, it wouldn't start. Had to call a towtruck and have it towed home. Our luck ran out today.
Only DNF of the day for me. Spent about 10 fruitless minutes searching without success, then had to move on. Reckon unless you strike lucky a minimum of 3 pairs of eyes are needed for this one!
Will elude plenty and imagine all the dnf ‘s never posted .
Nice sneaky hide .
Many thanks for the challenge.

Another lovely warm Spring day here in the capital. I've been eyeing off a small series of caches around McKellar and Florey. So today I loaded the bike in the back of the car and headed off to park at Lake Ginninderra. Before setting out, I created a GPX for my Garmin and called it "Belconnen Magpie Run". Little did I know how true that would be. I was attacked on 3 separate occasions. Now I am not the sort to panic, so it didn't affect me too much, especially as I was wearing a helmet and carrying a stick. All in all, a very pleasant afternoon. I was a bit worried a lot of the sites would be muggled due to school holidays abut that was not the case.
I spent a while here with the place to myself. I knew what to look for but I could not spot it. I will bring support for my next attempt. My usual cronies are all overseas currently.
Thanks anyway Pjbright

We stopped here on our bike ride, but were unable to locate the cache. Next time
This took a while, especially as we were discounting the myriad of hiding places. Turned out to be what we were looking for.
I was the eventual finder, sat down, almost got covered in ants and then spotted the cache.
Took a while but then Sensei Yoda found it. Turned out it was what we were expecting and had been thrown off by other logs
The Geocaching challenge for a seven day run souvenir had me out during the week. I need a second cache today for another challenge I am attempting to meet. I was a bit worried at GZ, but for once I saw it amongst its team mates.
Thanks.

Yahoo, didn’t think we would get this, but the iPhone gizmo was actually pretty accurate. Thanks for a nice little walk PJ
Hey pj you have been active around here. I see you got a bit tricky when you got here a good job I had 3 Kong’s with me and I was able to let him loose after the recent training session. He did a good job I am pleased to report. I would give this one a favorite as well as I don’t do rocks normally but it seems I have frittered them all away. Well done anyway.
Out with. Dty73. Gee she is good at finding them. So all i can do is log this one and say TFTC. Kutgw
