Great placement of this cache for the GCA event today. With so many people in attendance we didn't have to do the searching, the cache was found by LuckyL10n. TFTC Kittykatch.

One of the caches we found whilst attending the event today. Here in Canberra for the capital Geobash.

Geobash Easter Mega - Day #3 (Easter Saturday 30/3)
Day three saw me head up the Federal Hwy towards Goulburn for a family reunion. I was asked to be there for at least a little while. So I left early and soon enough I found myself finding some solved WIG’s and Letterbox’s as well as others to and from Canberra. It was a great trip. Though I was pushing it time wise to get back in time for the big event [GCAKTHC]. I ended up getting back around 2:15pm-ish and that means I was just in time for the big event. That was certainly my first ever Geocaching Wedding attended. Congratulations Fitzy & Minniek. Afterwards A group of us went and found some nearby caches. Most of them were DSD multi-caches. Then it was time to head off and get some dinner and then back to the motel for some sleep. TB visit. If the cache wasn’t signed as JohnoMawbs, it was signed as JM or as the tour group name. A big thanks to the CO for adding this cache to game for the Geocaching community to enjoy. TFTE’s & TFTC’s
Given there was a GCA event today, I decided that I should find some GCA caches along the way to/from Goulburn. This was one of those finds. A nice quick find at GZ and now to head off to the next one.

#GA5763 - 2:45:00 PM; Finally made it over to the park today due to the lure of Cacheopoly. Made my way to GZ and eventually spotted the thing referred to in the hint. It has seen better days and there has been some growth around GZ too I expect. Unloved for more than 12 months, I was happy to add my name to the log today. TFTC Kittykatch

Found It!
Walked over here in the rain and spotted the cache after a short search. Not sure it was quite where it was suppose to be, it looks like something has been living under the log the cache belongs under.

Out with Just a cacher for a drive and we decided to grab this one as we passed by.
A quick find and the cache was in good condition.
Thanks for the cache Kittykatch.

Coming back into town after finding some great quinces, we saw the listing for this, and stopped for a nice walk. Lovely spot, would be good to bring a picnic.
Thanks for bringing us here, Kittykatch - we've driven past often, and wondered...

A few bees around, so went around the back to have a look. Well, I found the scattered container, lid, bag and a pen, but no logbook. I'm claiming the find as I found most of the cache! I signed and left a piece of paper, then returned it to an appropriate spot.
Thanks,
Thanks,

After grabbing a few other cachers around lunchtime, it was time to head over to this park again and grab the last of the caches here. The only day I needed on my GCA calendar to fill and it was good feeling when both these were found and signed. A few bees around the GZ made me think twice, but I was surprised they disappeared while I was standing there and I was able to make a quick find.
Thanks for all these new-ish caches KK...certainly made filling the calendar a little easier.

With a day off from work, I headed out towards Currawang to get some caches for today. To fish my selection for the day I did three Marvel series puzzles, and four Country caches out on Tarago road. On the way home I stopped here for the three Valour Park caches.
Thanks for the cache Kittykatch
