Description
Will it be there? Or will the Doctor be travelling?
This cache is a replica blue Police Box, otherwise known as a Tardis. Useful for time travel or getting somewhere in a hurry. I'm not sure how long it has been here, nor how long it will stay but this cache should be photographed from the car. Please do not attempt to get closer as it is located on private property and we don't want to upset the owner. This is a perfect virtual if you are shy about taking selfies. Photo must show you or your GPS and the blue police box.

i thought it was more out in the open in front of a house as per the newspaper a few years back not hidden in pine trees. its hard to see properly.
Day #1: With a long weekend off, I decided on coming to Canberra for it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any accommodation for the Saturday night, so instead, I ended up with a single night but that doesn’t matter. I’m sure I’ll enjoy my Geocaching trip still. I started the Saturday with avenging some DNF’s as well as finding newer caches along ‘Sutton Rd’ to my accommodation in Queanbeyan. Yes, this did include finding the new AL in ‘Gundaroo’ which was great fun and full of history lessons to learn about. After finding these caches, I then booked into accommodation and have a late lunch. Afterwards, I decided on doing the new AL in Queanbeyan. I also decided on walking from my accommodation and visit some of the other caches around. After a rest and dinner, I went and did some night caching. Only two find for this and both were quick finds. Now time to get some sleep.
Day #2: After a great night sleep, I went to attack the GCA ALF trail and the Starwars Letterbox trail plus a few loose caches that were along the way. I started by re-attempting the new AL bonus cache in Queanbeyan but unfortunately, I needed to leave with a DNF again. Well, time to head over to the ALF trail and get started on my bush walk. I collected a couple before I got there. It took about 1h40m for the walk which was a lot, lot faster than when I did it back in 2016 for the GC version of these. It was great fun and full of great views… again. The area has changed a bit since last time. After having a break, it was time to start the Starwars trail. I drove to the end of the trail and worked my way back to the start of the trail. After this I knew I was nearby(ish) a cache that would fill in a gap in my Jasmer grid (May 2017). This is a rare month for me to find because the closest couple to my home coordinates were Canberra and Albury. These are 2.25h of driving each way (totalling 4.5hours) before finding caches and all other driving plus meals. In other words, a big day. It feels great to finally have this finally done. Now time for lunch. After lunch, I decided on collecting some more of the UGC caches, that I qualify for and then it was time to head home from my trip away.
All found caches were a mixture of both GC and GCA caches. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all the CO’s of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring me and others enjoyment. TFTC’s

easier on this side of the road as i only had to wind my window down and not deal with the wind TFTV
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. This is a fantastic find and big thanks to Poldark for drawingit to our attention.
If you've got it, flaunt it.... who wouldn't if you owned a tardis. Love to know the story behind this one. TFTV Poldark.

#GA3620 - 14:40; I was headed out along the Sutton Road after a lunchtime gathering to collect a few GC cahes and this one showed up on the GPSr. I didn't realise it was along my planned route for today's mission, but it didn't take too long to make the stop and grab the required snaps as evidence of my visit. An amusing sight to see and similar to another spot I've visited in the past a bit further south. TFTC Poldark

I was off on a long weekend trip to do the new TRLT caches near Blayney with Fitzy1965 and MinnieK. We had a great time finding heaps of caches and I was happy to get a few GA caches along the way.
Thanks

Just a cacher and I decided to do an impromptu drive to Goulburn and grab a cache or two.
A quick stop here to grab the re-requisites for the cache and then off again.
