GeoArt GA - G4 Lawson, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By Smittengranny on 13-Jan-21. Waypoint GA20180

I knew that I had ‘Australia Day’ free, so when I heard that there was going to kayaking trip in Canberra, I jumped at the opportunity to add my name to the attending list. This is a great way to use my new TOTT which I got for Christmas.
First of all, I needed to get to Canberra but the question was when? Did I leave at 4am in the morning to arrive in time for event & launch… NO! Thankfully! Instead, SmittenGranny offered me a place to stay Tuesday night. So after I finished work, I drove to Canberra and arrived early so I had dinner as well as finding a couple of GCA caches.
Then after my night sleep, it was time to drive to the event. I was there for only about 15minutes before heading off to the launch site so I could setup my Kayak. We set off at 8am heading to down to the end… kind of. We called ourselves ‘The Coconut Kayakers’.
We went to #15 to do the multi cache and passed by two other caches before heading off to the end of the trail. Our plan was to find #24 as well but due to not being visible we decided against it. So, we will need to return sometime to find #24 & #25 (as well as #1 to #6). After finding #23 we made our way back to the starting point finding as many caches as possible along the way. Most were quick and easy finds, only a couple of them took a little bit longer.
When we finally got back to & found #8, which was approximately where we started, we had an ultimatum, should we find #7 (which was a multi) or head back to the cars? We decided to go for it and after finding this one we also found another cache called ‘Dairy Dock II’ before heading to the cars. It took about 4 hours to go up and back.
After we packed up the cars, we headed off to Macca’s for lunch. When we arrived we realised that there was a cache there so after we visited the WP’s, we had lunch. Then headed to GZ which we found after a search. However, we ended up with two cache containers (one painted black with the original log book and a new on with only one log in it). We replaced them together. One of the containers needs to be removed.
Then we headed our separate ways which for me meant going home. But not before finding two more caches near Gold Creek. These were quick finds. At about the half-way mark home, I stopped off to buy some refreshments. This included a drink and a delicious donut. The day was great fun. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring me and the caching community enjoyment. TFTE and TFTC’s

P.S. Sorry for the generic logs but this is so I didn’t provide any spoilers in my log.

After a long week I can not resist the beautiful blue sky to go out for anice local walk with hoppy. These caches have been calling for a while now. The perfect opportunity for the current game and a nice walk!

Thank you Smittengranny for putting this series out!

Great to head out to pick this series up today. Nice spot for this cache
Cache in good condition. TFTC

A quick find with Nibletricecakes before heading off to Bathurst. Thanks Smittengranny for the fun.

Heading away for the weekend, but convinced GLISS! to stop in here on the way so we could clean up the last of this cool art trail. This one took a lot of hunting!! Lots of long wet grass today. Finally found the sneaky little guy. Thanks for the cache.

It took a few minutes to work out how to access the hide. Once a way in was found the cache was quickly found tucked safely away. The hide area was quite wet after yesterdays rain but the container and contents were dry and in good condition.

Thanks for another cache in your GeoArt series Smittengranny. Mrs Y'stassie enjoyed the flock of tiny blue wrens that danced along infront of her as she headed back to the car park. A short distance after the wrens had left the path about a dozen fire tails flew out of the grass and alighted in the scrub beside the path. A lovely surprise.

#GA5275 - 10:00; A plan was hatched a few days ago with Sol de lune to tackle the two GeoArt series on the shores of Lake Ginninderra and today was the day. Set off from John Knight Park on the bikes and made our way around the series in reverse order and wrapping things up in just on half an hour. We then tackled this series, which took about an hour and a half. Despite it being a fairly easy ride, with most of the caches quickly and easily located and signed, we spent more time than we should have and collected a few GC caches as well. Top job getting this series out there! Apologies for the generic logs TFTC Smittengranny

Out with LuckyL10n today to tackle these GeoArt series of caches. Started at the car park of John Knight park and slowly cycled our way around the lake. No real issues other than a couple taking a few minutes to locate, however the good news all were found. A great morning to be out, but as was we mentioned, there always seems to be a head wind when the bikes come out.

Thanks Smittengranny...great to see the new cache type here in Canberra...well done on getting it done.

A quick find with Black Bunny on an early morning caching expedition.

A joint *FTF* here today.

Thanks for the cache Smittengranny.

Out for a caching trip with Just a cacher to grab some of this new GeoArt series before it warms up today.

A quick find on most of this series with only the odd delay due to high muggle traffic.

A joint *FTF* on this one with Just a cacher.

Thanks for the cache Smittengranny.
