No luck with this one today

What can I say this park is heavy going finding caches – nice park but the caches were like a needle in a hay stake – many thanks

Had to drive to Queanbeyan to get parts for the car and stopped off at a few places to get my exercise for the day, a couple short hikes from Queanbeyan to get some GCs and a nice hike in Redwood forest to collect mostly GCAs.

Quick find under the rocks, coords are good and made it straight forward. I wonder when this tree will fall over....

Thanks for the cache fitzy!

Being in and around Canberra for a special event which is happening Saturday afternoon meant I had a free morning. Because of this, I decided on collecting some more caches focusing this time on regular/large size containers and solved puzzles. But before I did that I started with ‘The Walker’ WIG around the lake (This makes 2/3 found now). Unlike yesterday, I did struggle with the cartridge but after the 2 hours(ish) ride around with plenty of rests, I got the right coordinates: THANKFULLY. A lot easier ride then yesterday. I then headed back out to Queanbeyan near to where I am staying and collecting more of the caches around which fit into the categories above. Tonight, I may go back out and collect some more around the area. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found, for allowing them to bring joy to me and to the rest of the caching community. TFTE and TFTC’s

With Upoj working again at last, I continued on my way to this one where the cache was quickly in had at 15:35.

TNLNSL. Thanks fitzy_1965.

Found during my adventures at the Clear Waters mega. Thank you for all the caches!

I didn't realise there were Boeing 7 numbers other than the big birds.... probably before my time!

Found this cache on the way to, at or on the way home from the Mega at Clearwaters. My trip to the Mega was great, found lab caches which while like gadgets are new icons to me. Found some great caches and brought back some neat ideas for new caches in Tasmania.

Day 4 Mega Road trip. Arrived at Queanbeyan today for the Clear Waters Mega and headed out to find a few caches in the Pialligo Redwood Forest with Tassie Trekkers and Gullivers Travels54. A lovely area to explore. Wow the planes seemed very close above the highway as we headed here. TFTC

Found while staying in town for the Mega TFTC

Found today with Smittengranny out chasing the summer game. Love this area. And I have been here before but they are some hidden gems in this little forest. Its such a shame they are becomming so distressed. Found some lovely little grotto's and cool shady walks. Great little series

Found with Joolay on a hot afternoon trying to get more points for the summer game. TFTC SL It was lucky we did a chevk back at the car, as we had missed this one.

Our next find in this series of caches. We do love the park that this series is in. The cache was in good condition and located quickly.
Thanks for the hide Fitzy_1965.

Called in here on the way home. Always nice to visit this place. Found OK.

Thanks,

What a surprising little plantation! A great little collection of caches here. TFTC

The plantation is full of kids' forts. Check out the gruesome collection of bones in the fort near this cache!

I decided to use these convenient caches to fill in a few days of my streak.

Its only a short detour on the way in to Canberra and work. Parked in the familiar car park for the short walk to GZ and the find.

Thanks !

We first visited this park some years ago and were pleased when we saw a number of new caches published there recently. We cannot remember the heights of the redwood trees when we last visited but wondered today if the redwoods liked the area and the climate. We know that redwoods are very slow growing but they did not appear to be thriving. Hopefully we are wrong as this is a unique reserve. We walked an approximate circular route looking for eleven caches and we managed to find them all. We enjoyed the Boeing series of caches, learning a little about the differences between the various models. Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks fitzy_1965 for the cache and the series.

Found 3:54pm with my girlfriend, eighth find for the day. Decided to make our way around in an anti-clockwise approach. I had been out here in this area previously and found a couple but I didn't have all the information readily available to look for the other caches around here and then only discovered a bit before leaving how many GA caches were in the area. By that time as well my iPhone GPS battery was pretty much flat so gave it a miss that day to come back another.
Today armed with all the cache coords, and I worked out those related puzzle caches, we came back. When we found this we pretty much knew what we were to expect for the other caches. The area could use a couple of park / picnic benches. A quick find, cords are pretty good.
Thanks for the cache.

A quick visit to this area with Decrypter, with a little spare time before I went off to a Bookcrossing meet. Another quick find. TFTC fitzy_1965.

We had some spare time today so decided to grab some of the caches in the park. We had a nice stroll although it was a little wet underfoot in the far corner.

Thanks for the caches fitzy_1965

Out for a stroll with Just a cacher to grab a cache or two today and this one was on the list. A quick find and a pleasant stroll around the area.

Cool series - hubby loves the theme as he is a big fan of aeroplanes. I will have to bring him back with me when I come to grab the puzzles. Thanks again Fitzy - cache found in good condition.

Fifteenth for the day, and a cache around the Forrest with Kittycatch

Easy and Fun finds, that's the way I like my caches. TFTC Fitzy!

A nice sunny Sunday morning to wander through the redwood forest finding caches. Some problems with looking in the wrong tree due to bad signal, but found okay by looking in the surrounding ones. Thanks for this enjoyable series of caches.

Visiting Canberra this weekend for a grand daughters birthday I was looking for a D/T of 2.5/2 to complete my 3x3 grid. One of five finds in this park this morning all with the same rating. thanks for placing.

Before some shopping I went for a short walk around this forest. As usual the trees make the final finds a bit of a challenge, but I managed the five traditional caches today.

Thanks

Decided to head out and take a lovely stroll around this neck of the woods.......again. I had the place to myself apart from a rascally rabbit or two. A very pleasant stroll and no dramas locating my targets.
Thanks Fitzy_65 for the cache, the fun and the stats on the planes while some were creating some noise pollution in the distance.

#GA1679 - 13:25; An unexpected opportunity to go caching presented itself while I was out and about with the geohoney. She wanted some time in the city to shop, so I decided to head out to Redwood Park, which wasn't far from the drop off point, to give the CO's new series a try. Dropped Sol de lune a line in case he was already in the area. He wasn't, but changed plans and we met up to tackle the new caches in the area. It was such an impromptu mission, we had to load the coordinates for all of the caches into our GPSrs as neither of us had run an update to capture the new caches before leaving home. Once that was done, we collected the moveable then headed off on a clockwise circuit of the park caching as we went. Another quick find, another blank log signed for another joint *FTF* .

Was heading towards the Barton Highway to finish off the series out that way when LuckyL10n rang and suggested a run around this park to grab the new ones here. So my plans changed and I was off to visited the Redwood Forest again. Once at the park we headed off on a walk around the area grabbing the caches as we went. Had solved the mystery caches earlier so it all was good and we had the area covered and all the caches found.

Thanks fitzy.....neat area for the well named caches.....
