#GA2294 - 14:45; When the States of the Nation game began, a plan was hatched for a group of ACT cachers to take a trip north to the Hawkesbury on a scavenger raid. As time passed the group's numbers dwindled, but with a bit of work solving puzzles and a few things rescheduled, our merry band comprising andrewbt, Sol de lune and I set off on a damp Canberra morning to try our hand. A recent visit to Canberra by cachers from this area provided an added incentive, so we could repay the karma points we gained from their visit. A successful day it turned out to be with 56 finds and only three DNFs. Once we reached GZ there were a number of possibilities. Checked out a few before the cache was found and the log signed. Whew!

Next find as we continued our way around the area. Bit of a hunt for this one but it was eventually found and our names were in the log book. Parking at the posted is a good idea !!!
Thanks for another one TeamMerlin.....

Tricky spatial coordinates but the correct conversion algorithm was found. It took me a couple of attempts to get the approach right, without scrub bashing, but a quick find followed. Thanks teamMerlin.

with a damp morning I was at my computer looking for a resolution for GZ. An initial investigation and I tried a few things not getting any where. On a re-inspection I knew where to surf the net to. Shortly after I had valid co-ordinates.
After lunch I made my way down to GC parking nearby and a short walk where I signed a pristine log for a *FTF*
