Description

The cache formerly known as "Don't Drop Mia's Cache"

Recently archived GC.com cache GC1TGWA is still there in it's original container. I was going to resurrect it in gc.com, but a nearby, newly placed cache prevented that. So now it reaches its full potential as a GCA cache. Located on a small wharf, cache itself has survived its moist location including the rebuilding of the structure itself. There are some great stories recorded in the old logs including attacks by swans - beware.

From the original cache description: Since we have come to Canberra this has become our Toddlers favourite park. She can feed the ducks and then go for a swing on the nearby playground.
Bring lots of bread crumbs to ground zero and be careful with the littlies as they will need a hand the whole time.

Be very careful not to drop the cache during retrieval or we may not see it ever again. For this reason I don't recommend TB and/or GCs be placed in this cache.

It took me about 3 attempts to find it as a GC cache. I think D3.5 T2.5 more accurately reflects the challenge of this cache. Enjoy.

Out and about with Smittengranny and LuckyL10n on a caching day and we stop by to try this one. Took a few minutes for a family feeding the ducks to finish, but after they left we swooped in and made the find. I certainly remember the original from all those years ago.

Thanks for keeping it going StrangeTrousers.... Very Happy

I was out caching with Sol de Lune and LuckyL10N today. A great day thanks to all the work SDL did preparing for this adventure. There was a mixture of GC and GCA caches - trads, multis, mysteries, trigs, virtuals and podcaches . Not all of us needed to find all the caches but there were enough to keep us all busy and very satisfied with the day's efforts. It has been very hot and I think we were all happy to call it a day when we did.
Apologies for the generic logs and big thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches. The logs were all signed as required or photographed if that was what was needed. Dancing

Ah this old cache!

When this got republished, I had flashbacks of lots of poo!

Fortunately not this time! Arrived at GZ, got down and (not so) dirty. Spotted cache and set about retrieving it

Log book is soaked, so my pen just left of enough scrawling on it to make my mark

TFTC ST!

Found with the CO at ParkRun. Cooler day today and lake levels very low. TFTC

#GA3838 - 10:50; I saw this one published, but decided I had errands to run later so might call by, time permitting. Looks like the *FTF* hounds were sleeping in today, as I headed for GZ an hour or so later and after retrieving the cache, saw that the log book was blank! Having found the earlier GC version made for a much easier find today. My previous find took two goes and a whole lot more swan, duck and dab chick 'essence' than today as it seems the recent rains have cleaned up the deck. Great to see this one repurposed and not lost to the great cache heaven in the sky! TFTC StrangeTrousers Very Happy
