Found with the other attendees of the GCA event in Velour Park. JohnoMawbs was quick to produce the cache before we all dispersed for the Wedding Event at Canberra Park. No one wanted to be late for that event. TFTC Kittykatch.

#GA5771 - 1:57:00 PM; After the meet and greet part of the event, the crowd swarmed west to make a find on this cache. A nice quick find by JohnoMawbs and our names are now on the log sheet. TFTC Kittykatch

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.

Found It!
This one took a bit longer to find since it had got a little buried over time. Eventually I poked far enough in to see the cache.

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...

This hide looked very natural, so much so that I thought it might not be there. After moving something the cache was spotted.
Thanks,

Walked on down from the picnic tables and made a quick find. Sat on the rocks near GZ, signed the log and watched the traffic go past for a while. With these couple of cache now found, my GCA calendar is now completed.
Thanks for making life a little easier with these latest hides KK...

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
