We came up for Floriade and spent Sunday scooting around town discovering lots of great paths, parks and community spaces. A favourite point for the great container. Thanks Flintstone's for placing and maintaining the cache for our enjoyment.
Walking to dinner and picked up this one. The Haig park markets are fantastic. I like the Bahn mi cart!TFTC
I checked on the cache to replace the logbook, which was indeed ful and is now replaced.The old logbook is attached as a photoAll good to go again. Cache on.
A post Haig Park markets visit find - although I think we managed to completely fill the log.
Quick find after a morning Pilates class nearby! Lovely sunny day today tftc! Sabo
Love this park! Big fan of the markets here on a Sunday, always plenty going on.Caught up with my man D10S in Braddon and parked right next to ground zero so thought I had better go for a look!Spent five mins looking in the wrong tree before making the adjustment and enjoying a quick find. Superb containerthanks!
Out with Tankengine on a maintenance tour Stopped to grab this one while in the area. Liked the container. Kutgw
Chooo ooo [Found] on a caching run with youban! Cute container.Thanks Flintstone's!
A nice easy find just up from the hotel. The last full day in fabulous Canberra after a 4 night visit. Jetlag is still crippling so I thought I would mop up a few local caches.Greetings from Oxfordshire, England. Find number 1918.
Nice easy find - great container, its always nice when its not the standard styles. Tftc
Out on mother's day at the market. While waiting for some donuts made the quick find. Very cool container. A favourite point thanks.
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Back in Canberra for ANZAC day. With a late start trying to catch up on some lost sleep from yesterdays early start for the Dawn service. Headed out locally to convert a few smilies.TFTC Flintstone's
In Canberra to attend the Capital Geo Bash mega event. I attended the Queanbeyan Mega event a couple of years ago which is when I did a lot of the touristy things. This trip was more focused on Geocaches. There has been an abundance of new high quality caches published since my last visit so more than enough to keep me busy. Hint might need updating - no longer hanging. Great container. Thank you Flintstone's, for placing Haig park - pines and cypress for the geocaching community.# # #14566 # #
Found after dinner nearby. Lots of possums in nearby trees this evening. Awesome cache. Well done. TFTC
We were on our way to grab a bit to eat and saw this nearby cache. We made our way to the GZ and were rewarded with a quick find. TFTC.
Attending our first mega event in Australia. A nice sunny day for doing some caching after visiting the event area. Thanks for the cache! Greetings from Finland
Couple of Finnish vanlifers traveling around this beautiful Australia with Matilda the campervan. Stopping here and there to enjoy life without any plans.After getting everything set up and visiting some friends, Mntti1 and I began our travels five months ago. After visiting Melbourne and Great Ocean road we worked for couple of weeks in Myrtleford for hop harvest season. We finished the season couple of days ago and made it to Canberra just on time for Mega! Today we visited some caches, one of them this. Before lunch we parked our van nearby and found this! Thank you for the cache!
In Canberra for GeoBash 2024. Had an awesome time, Joined up with Rebel Acts for some epic caching fun. We tackled tricky puzzles, found loads of caches, and had a great time meeting old and new caching buddies. This is one of the caches we found whilst in Canberra.Cheers for the cache.

In Canberra for the GeoBash mega event, having a quiet day today. I wandered around the area near my hotel and came across this cache. Despite the D rating, I saw it straight away, so Im not sure if its in the right place. I returned it to the same spot but slightly more hidden than before. Thanks for the cache, I like the container!
In Canberra for GeoBash 2024 and out and about finding caches with TanSaf. This was a quick find .. nice cache! Thankyou to Flintstones for the cache
One more in town, this one with LuckyL10n, before heading further afield. Neat little cache that was soon in hand.Thanks for this one Flintstone's....
Attending the Canberra Geobash over the Easter long weekend and found this one on Good Friday afternoon.TFTC
Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.This is one of the caches found today.Thanks Flintstone's for the cache.
Out and about caching with skylizard while attending the Canberra Geobash. Picked this up while in the area. Nice park, quick find and a cute container. TFTC
#19475 - 12:49:00 PM; Met up with my old partner in crime Sol de lune at Geobash Central this morning for a day of meeting, greeting and caching. After registering for the Mega, completing some adventure labs, swapping some pathtags and geobanter with other cachers, we set off towards the city and on to Fyshwick to refuel the geomobile and collect some newer caches along the way. All caches were found in good order and returned as found once signed. A fave for the container here! TFTC Flintstone's
picked up the nearby bonus cache and walked to grab this one.Total Caches Found 15728TFTC Flintstone's
Day 4 camped at Canberra Park for the Mega EventWe did a variety of cache types, finishing the day at an event at the Old Canberra InnA quiet day only a few caches found but we did a variety of ALsThis was a great way to visit the area & to see the cityThanks Flintstone's for hiding this cache.
Having a whole week off for the MEGA Its so nice to do some cheeky weekday caching Thanks flinstones for the hide, container is superb!These 3D printers are changing the caching game!
Out and about this afternoon with fitzy_1965.With the end of daylight savings fast approaching, we decided to do as much caching as possible given my work schedule.A quick find for us here today. Cool container.
34,602. Found with minniek during another afternoon run around a section of Canberra.With the fast approaching Mega, Wedding and the end of Daylight Saving, we have tried to do as much caching as we could lately. Picking off small sections of Canberra as we will soon only be caching together on weekends. Today was an inner city day. This was the next of the day in a park I always enjoy caching in. Quick find in the logical spot. Nice container ! Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off to the next one.Thanks Flintstone's !!
After a day being the tourist in the Canberra region, I decided to log yesterdays find.Yesterday I forgot my pen once more, as we're on our way to dinner.I was lucky today. There we no muggles around. TFTC(team) HatafatFrom the Netherlands (a.k.a. Holland )
Made a drop off of the gf for lunch nearby, grabbed some fuel, and then wandered to GZ. GPS led us to the right tree, then the wrong one, then back to the right one, where we soon spotted the lovely, well crafted and themed hide. It is no longer hanging like the hint says, but otherwise all in good nick. Thanks Flintstones --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country on which we geocache throughout Australia and their long lasting, and ongoing connections to land, sea and community. We (the pants people) pay our respects to Traditional Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
While FFLL#2 was out hiking FFLL#1 ended up going for a spot of caching with ALL7 and 63Roos.A fun morning out and about before it got too hot and we decided to call it a day.We made a quick find at this with some local markets nearby. Thanks for the hide Flintstone's

After my event nearby, I headed off with EthisEthat to grab a couple of the nearby caches on offer.This was originally on the cards to be found the other day when I visited the markets nearby, although someone had rather inconveniently set up their camping chair right at gz!So today I returned with EE and was pleased to find we were out of view of any nearby muggles.A short hunt ensued before we spotted this very nice 3D construction.Always good to see this sort of container in the wild, and this is a new variant for me!Thanks to Flintstone's for putting this one out!
After the nearby event I went for a wander with Brain to the nearby challenge and this cache. Some lovely conversations along the way about all kinds of stuff. Once at GZ the GPS bounced a bit but soon stabilized. I had a hunch as to what the cache might be and I was correct. Soon found the well camoed cache, cute. Then a nice bike ride home. TFTC Flintstone's!
Great little hide. Nice and quiet during my lunchtime break. TFTC, always nice to stroll around Haig Park during the day.
Surprisingly hard to spot. Wasnt sure I was at the right tree, but eventually it jumped out at me. TFTC Flintstones
Dropped by this cache today, and there was some sort of event / festivities going on! Lots of people & live music, but when I heard it was mostly kid friendly songs I decided to just stick to the trees and not go explore further what was going on, as I didn't have any kids with me! Luckily this cache was far enough away for nobody to notice I was loitering, so I quickly scanned each tree and soon made the cute find! Thanks Flintstones! A bold hide for what is probably the most urban & frequented park in Canberra!
We were on the north side today, visiting Family, and after brunch decided to come down and visit the Haig Park markets. Some nice live music happening there, and then a short stroll to GZ where we found a nicely hidden container. Thanks Flintstones Domsky
Interesting camo - made me laugh after searching for it. Photo of possum in nearby tree. TFTC
I find that I need to head to Mitchell again to get my car looked at, again. This left me with a journey home on public transport. I did have my scooter with me, so While I was in town, I selected this cache to visit. Around and around, and there was the cache, very fitting for the location, and there was not even a possum in residence at this tree.Thanks for the cache Flintstone's45384.1 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & Rangefinder A#67**Albida**
A quick find on our way through the city late afternoon. Cute camo. TFTC Flinstone's.
Thanks for the cache. Took me awhile to spot the obvious. Had a look in some other spots before coming back to where I thought it should be and at last I spotted it. Yah! Greetings from New Zealand
Didn't find it because of the group of young people using the next tree as a backdrop for an arty-farty fashion shoot! (From a distance, I thought they were looking for the cache and not being very subtle about it.) I'll go for this one again when things are a little quieter.
Found with Czechboy14 and MilesMorales2 A small detour on the way to the skate park with the boys. A sneaky park nearby, walking over to GZ where CB14 spotted the hide. Signed and replaced we headed back to the geomobile before the blood sucking parking inspectors slid out from beneath their rocks. TNLNSL TFTC
#21524 @1600I dropped by here on my way home from work. The cache took a while to spot. TFTC.
Found on a nice Friday afternoon after finishing the work week. Took a couple of minutes to spot the nicely camo'd cache. The new coords are much more accurate. Lovely walk under the shaded trees, TFTC Flintstone's!

Have been unable to narrow down search location (cant get lower than +/-8m so I blame the phone), and compounded with the fact that one else has come during the time I've been here, and my phone battery is low, I've decided to go to KFC instead. Best of luck to next searcher. Ich komme wieder!
*FTF* 7.50pmWith a later night of working, I had just walked into my last client of the day when this was published. I had totally forgotten about it once free, and only when I parked at the shops on the way home did I notice it was still unfound.Knowing it was a later one and with the family away, so no rush home... I'm going on a cache hunt!A very close park was nice and spotted the resident possum close by. My first tree came up empty, the second was a just incase it's there sort of look but the third tree had the cute cache easily spotted and the blank log soon signed.Thanks for the cache and the fun, now I better get back to that shopping and home!
