Description
Carbon
Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent - making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium and oxygen. Did I forget to mention that there WILL be a test after all this? The ladies will know that Diamonds are made of Carbon, existing in many different shades, including the famous Pink Argyle Diamonds from Western Australia.
This series of caches is dedicated to the Elements and the Periodic Table. While my aim is to get them all out eventually - they will broken down into subsets of caches - in this case 7 caches, 6 Traditionals and a Puzzle cache as follows :
Trad - GA10205 Hydrogen (find 'a')
Trad - GA10206 Helium (find 'b')
Trad - GA10207 Lithium (find 'c')
Trad - GA10208 Beryllium (find 'd')
Trad - GA10209 Boron (find 'e')
Trad - GA10210 Carbon (find 'f')
which you can then use to find
Mystery - GA10211 Nitrogen (find 'AA' for future reference) at S35 10.abc E149 14.def
Good Luck and Happy Hunting !
BYO Pen.

On a cool smokey morning I went out towards Lake George to get a few of the Australian Animals series and a few of these elements on the way back. The day went smoothly and I located each of the caches i looked for. A fun morning of roadside caches.
Thanks

I was with the CO when this series was put out. Now I have my own GCA account I have been given permission to log them.
I always enjoyed chemistry at school - just like my Dad !

I never would have guessed this service road would be so busy. wow. quick park and grab. TFTC.
Sorry about the generic log Fitzy_1965 but. I have lots of puzzles to solve tonight.
Today I decided to take advantage of the fabulous weather and the May Madness and go caching with the GCA caches in my sight. There were plenty to be had so I planned a circuit up to Gunning and then across to Sutton and home again via the Federal highway service road. Had to do a detour via Breadalbane to avoid driving back through a large Road Bike Race but all is well.
I found all 6 in the series but ran out of time to go for the final. Another day. All logs were signed some as SG and caches returned to their hidey holes. Thanks for the series Fitzy_1965.

Found today with Kittykatch out and about on a lovely sunny afternoon. Of course we started on the wrong end as we did not realise there was a puzzle but took no time to finish the series. Thanks Fitzy for bringing us here. It was nice to be out in some country.

Grabbed this as a series of drive by snatches. I did my best impression of a tradie stopping to take a call on my mobile. TFTC

Yesterday I found the first of this series when taking a walk from the IBIS Styles where I was staying. This morning as I left for the day for first chore for the day was to drive by and stop at each of the rest of this series and when all 6 had been found using the information taken from each moved on to the final of this series of six caches.

As we neared carbon we found finding a safe parking spot more difficult as we felt we needed to be well off the road. The locals seem to whizz down here with not a care in the world.
Having parked safely we made our way to carbon, unfortunately no diamonds were found. We could have used another form of carbon, graphite well known as artists charcoal and the lead in pencils,but opted for longer lasting ink.
The cache and contents were in good condition.
We will look forward to the threatened test as a way to shake the cobwebs away and see how much our brains have thrown out (sounds better than lost or can nolonger reach).
By the way does anyone remember bukkyballs?
Thanks for this cache Fitzy_1965 We certainly enjoyed a trip down memory lane with carbon.

Found 5:37pm. I was on my way back to Canberra from the Central Coast and had my eye on this group of caches so stopped to grab them and sign the logs. Once this was found I had a suspicion for the others. Very Quick finds. Hmm had to come back to this one second time as I didn't pay attention to the code.

#GA1990 - 16:00; Zipped out to grab this cache to fill another hole in the dZ calendar and probably should have done so earlier in the day as what started as a fine morning has now deteriorated badly to the point of rain. Once I arrived at GZ I was quickly out of the car to grab the cache and then back to the car for log signing duties. A quick sprint to replace the cache and I was off home to a warm house again.

Have collected all the clues now after another quick and easy find this morning. Now to work out where the next one is.

Decided to grab this series on the way home - All done before it got too dark. Done in the reverse order which meant some backtracking at the end, but not too far.
Thanks,

Another new series of caches and another reason to head out. The whole periodic table you say....well, I look forward to finding them all.
Todays little sojourn took me down a road I have been down before, with one of the caches right outside a horse property I've been to many times. Didn't look like anyone was home today, so it was on to the next one.
Thanks fitzy, a neat little series that has so many options for a puzzle or two. Look forward to finding a few more.

Just a cacher spotted these caches hitting the ether tonight so we decided to head out to bag a few.
A nice elementary drive by grab for a *FTF* with Jac.

As we get older, the lure of a nice warm bed grows, but just as we were thinking about it these caches were published, so we managed to delay being sad old people for a little while. 
Thanks, Fitzy_1965, for placing these nice easy caches.
*FTF* with Black Bunny on a pleasant evening drive.
