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.
No troubles locating this hide, although these containers have become a bit brittle across the board - in this case, it's resulted in the logbook floating in a pool of water.
Usually the sort of thing that'd call for an urgent NM, although it'll probably good for another three years or so?
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!
#GA5320 - 11:55; 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. This one was probably the quickest find and sign in the series. TFTC Sol de lune

Grabbing battleship points with GLISS! tonight - where did all this wet weather come from!? Great to have another one in the bag. Thanks for the cache.
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.

A beaut morning to be out walking the Pinnacle, though the fog was quite heavy and the tracks a bit wet. Cache in good condition. TFTC

The area was very wet as a result of the melting frost. The outside of the container was wet but the contents were fine. Muggles again held up proceedings which resulted in Mrs Y'stassie getting a wet backside for spending a little too long sitting on the wet log.
Thanks for this cache Sol De Lune. Like the previous hide the coordinates were good and the box well hidden.

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.
This was the last one for the day as I was near my car but I needed to wander for a while as it is the turning circle, sort of, for the roller that is working on the track. A quick find, sign and replace. TFTC Sol.
