Thanks everyone for "virtually attending". It was great to see everyone's photos.

What else to do when isolated.

Not much but enjoy the balmy weather and a few GCA events.

Just about to go to sleep and I realised there was events to go to, thanks for putting on this virtual event that I can attend from the comfort of my own bed. Have been busy working in the pharmacy all day. TFTC

ooh, another virtual event I can "attend" ... feels a bit like "armchair logging" ... actually - it is lounge logging - I am lazing on a lounge on my deck - lol
TFTE - one of the quietest events I have been to - lol

Yes we celebrated with you this morning... enjoyed a cuppa on our verandah in the Lockyer Valley, Queensland.
Thanks for hosting this event Thomo31.

Went geocaching in rural bush today, finding caches that hadn't been found in a long time, some had the last finder in January 2019!
A good way to get away from people and germs in my opinion instead of being in shopping centres or businesses...

Took this photo at a beautiful river location, would of been a great spot to swim!

Location: GC8G3J5 - Yellow Rabbit Billabong

Thanks for hosting this virtual event

Just chillin in isolation on the coast.

Will be round for awhile here.

Did the Drovers Virtual @ S 35° 31.146' E 147° 02.159' GC88YXF. photo attached. In The Rock tonight, just had drinks with a couple of locals the CO might know.

Hi!! From Sunny Queensland. Today we were supposed to be hitting the road on our big trip across five states, but alas, not to be. Blue Mountains was one of our stops but we shall just have to wait to our rescheduled trip in September. Might meet some faces then! Today we have attended a few virtual events. What a nice way to touch base with other cachers in the absence of our Mega's this year. We had a delicious takeaway breakfast from our favourite café and sat at the lake just around the corner from home before they close the picnic areas off. Thanks so much for this event

Logging from Canberra. Thanks for hosting. #BearHunt

Well, I was here (virtually) but no one else appeared. Maybe I was too late. Maybe I was too early. Maybee I didn't look hard enough for all the strange people meeting up without actually meeting up

My thanks to Thomo31 for virtually organising this virtual get together.

thanks for having this, logged from close to home. See you all once we're allowed out to play again.

What a great idea. Difficult times circumvented by ingenuity.

I was wondering what picture to take so I stuck a sticky note on my roof.
Happy GCA Day everyone!

Hello from NSW with my view of QLD from my back verandah hope everyone is having as good a day as they can

Another happy birthday virtual, attending from my back deck at Waitara in the northern suburbs of Sydney. After taking the photo I made the journey to the local Westfield (very empty) to stock up on supplies for the next week. Thanks thomo31 for the opportunity to grab a find in these difficult times.

Greetings from my holiday house at Capel Sound (Rosebud West), Victoria.

With the uncertainty about future allowable travel my family decided to take a quick trip to check our holiday house (especially the contents of the fridge) in case we are put into lock down for the next few weeks.
It is a beautiful sunny day here and I am enjoying it.

Thanks for making this a virtual event.

Another virtual event to attend - a rare photo of all the members of Shifter Brains caching together, albeit from home.

Hello from the Northern Tablelands NSW
My celebration day started while walking in the dark hours of the morning. I cut the corner too soon and ran into a wall. (unbelievable, there's an emoji for this!) I don't know how MrG slept through it because it sounded like a monumental explosion to me. Fortunately the day picked up and we've been having a top time virtually travelling around GA birthday events. Thanks for this one thomo31.... I'll include a pic when MrG gets back with the phone.

Hello thomo31 thanks for the event.

This morning I attended my own virtual event in Tasmania.

Have a great day GA and every one keep safe.

Having a wander around the back blocks of Berry when I discovered this no name, well kept park. Very close to the bypass so perhaps it buffers the soft drone of passing traffic. It has two sculptures with one in particular attracting my attention - a giraffe (or a slim Holstein) made from a split branch. A bitta kulture on this esteemed day. Thanks for the event.

Happy Birthday Geocaching Australia.

Living in the Blue Mountains, we can still do one of our hobbies - birdwatching - from home.

Photo is of two Peewees - Mudlarks - Magpielarks. They were sitting on the wires out front of our place. As I took the photo a car came down the street and scared them!

The other photo is of our Trip Mascot/TB BOWRA in some flowers in the backyard. No trips away for now!

Attended with geodad. We had quite a few things to do this morning, but not many were possible. TFTE. See geodad's photo

I am attending this event from the Riverina, NSW. I am enjoying going through the list of events and seeing which ones, I can attend. TFTE

P.S. Photos of attendance being attached shortly.
Photo #1 - Me with the event listing
Photo #2 - Looking outside
Photo #3 - My 'Clear Waters' flag hanging in my room

This is how the morning would have gone. Zoe and I would have headed out just after nine for our Bunnings sausage sandwich and then we would have come down to the event. Maybe Lachie would have come too, but he's still in bed. Bunnings was not an option, so we just stopped at IGA for a KitKat! Photo taken after a quick whip around in the Salvos store. Thanx Sue!

Attended before heading out on my run this morning in Canberra. Cool to attend a virtual event for Geocaching Australia's birthday. Thanks for hosting

Heading through the Kiama bends this morning. Photos of south and north of TP5258.

Happy GCA day everyone!

Attending virtually with my geo daughter, as we weren’t able to come and visit Thomo31. So today we’re sitting outside and she is driving her car and I’m having coffee!

Bed hair, pjs and blue skies. Maybe not as social as we would have liked, but still fun. We’ll catch up properly after all the stuff has settled.

I am at home and had just attended another virtual event. I am currently located in my office at our home in Bargara South ( Bargara Headlands) or Innes Park North
what ever name the suburb is called at the time. Photo of me logging my attendance at virtual events. TFTVE

Thanks for the cache, as I am stuck at home today with a sore back and just as the rain stopped!
Still that's a very fun way to do a cache.
So now back to my puzzle instead of my planned geocaching walk.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Great way to start the day with a coffee, cache and spending time with my two GeoDogs Riker and Bertum! Lazy Saturday for us. Im still in my PJ's and the boys still in their Dressing Gowns. Logging from our front balcony in the beautiful Blaxland East.
Thank you Thomo31 for the Cache!

Hoping to be able to attend this event now that it is virtual, pending the following questions.

When you say 'include a photo', would it be acceptable to have a photo of myself with the event's webpage in the back ground? My other question: is there a certain time you would like our logs or is it at any time during the day on the 28/3?

P.S. Feel free to leave the answers on the cache page as I am watching the cache, and so others can know as well.

***Due to the Coronavirus, attendance at this event will NOT take place in the park but you will be able to log it "Virtually"

It would be good if you could let us know in your log where you are "virtually" logging from. ***

Be safe everyone.

Will be there...and I reckon Zonic66 will make it too. Lachnic62 is on his L's so we may even see HIM make it if he gets to drive. Miracles may just happen!

Will be there
