While in the area doing some GC stuff, I thought I'd randomly check the GCA map and - whaddya know - there's stuff right here!
An ACT luxury that I'm clearly not used to with my prior Victorian experience!
The weather was looking a bit grim by this stage but I decided to grab a few in this series that were close to the trail on my way back to the car.
Had to pick the right rocks, although one outcrop caught my attention and the partially buried cache was discovered shortly after!
Thanks Sol de lune!

I was in the area, so decided to go for a walk at the Pinnacle and grab these. Long grass and boggy in places, but managed to find most of these caches.
Thanks

Keen to get out on such a glorious sunny day after all the grey weather of late. But the sun sets early so a more local walk was needed. Had planed to keep this for a nice walk with Wilma and Hoppy but couldn't resist the a the perfect walk for today. Great new loop of caches here thank you SDL!
#GA5321 - 12:00; Headed out on a mission around the Pinnacles this morning to collect some GC caches for the daily challenge. Decided to give this series a run while I was in the area and maybe get on the board in the game. The GPSr wasn't playing ball this morning and was changing its mind often. Another reasonably quick find and sign as I neared the end of the mission. TFTC Sol de lune

Nice fast find on this one whilst out walking and caching with GLISS! Another cache, another battleship shot. Thanks for the cache.
A very quick find in a very damp nature reserve. Yay! Another shot in the Battleships game.
Pleasant walk on a lovely winter's day. Lots of people, lots of unleashed dogs - glad we left ours at home.
No problems noted with caches. All clean and in place. Thanks for placing and maintaining these, and for bringing us here.

Out for a stroll with Just a cacher to grab a cache or two and dropped in on this series.
A quick grab on a busy walk.
hanks for the cache Sol de lune.

Picked up further along my walk - trails are a bit wet but managing the off-track finds without getting soaked - winning Thanks for this cool themed bunch of caches.

Mrs Y'stassie was back on track rescuing the amphibious craft from its rocky surrounds while a small flock of colourful parrots looked on. A small passing muggle, doing his civic duty, informed Mrs Y'stassie that she "should always stay on the track" She promised the serious little man that, in future, she would. Fingers crossed behind her back of course.
Thanks for another well hidden cache Sol De Lune. Hopefully leaving the track will mostly go unnoticed from now on.

I needed any cache to keep my streak going and as I am supposed to be very busy I chose one that is relatively close to home. The only trouble was that I got distracted by 3 of the new GCA caches that are in the area.
As I walked back to the gate, trying to avoid a couple of fellows working on the track, Sam(sung) decided to lead me astray - just to the wrong side of the track, but after scolding him I found the cache quickly and signed the log. TFTC SDL I wonder if I have hit a ship?

Thought it would be nice to see a blank logbook for once, given I never get the chance to on GC. Thanks for the series Sol!
