Description
Dam that 162mt rule...
So I was looking for a location for a bonus cache for my second Canberra Train Stations AL. This looked fine and it is one of a very few remaining bits of evidence for the plan to have railway stations thought out Canberra. The row of trees nearby follow the long forgotten about line that went from Kingston into Civic.
But, wouldn't you know it, one of a certain prolific hiders puzzle caches has a GZ within 162mts of here. So what to do, the container is already there and well secured to its location. Easy, make it a GA cache....
Logs
Well it was nearly a bummer for me too. The location suggested an early morning hunt would be the best. There was very little foot traffic thankfully as the roads were already incredibly busy and finding a park was a bit of a headache. As I approached GZ I wondered if I would be able to find this little fellow. The cloudy skies added to Sam(sung)'s problems of pinning down exactly where to look. Eventually all was good and the log now carries my initials, SG. Thanks for the cache 0319.

Out with Jac for an afternoon run and decided to drop in on this one as we felt it would be difficult on a weekday. After the GPS had settled we soon narrowed down the hide and made a quick find.
Thanks for the cache hunt 0319.
