Description
Cache is not at the posted co-ords.....but you should certainly park there.
Decided to put a couple of caches out on GCA to increase the numbers.
This is a simply puzzle and uses two types of programs that you will have seen on GC.com over the years. Once solved the cache will hopefully be an easy find.
GZ is located at:

Back again with Nibletricecakes and this time it was a quick find - yay! This gives me a shot in the new GCA game. TFTC
A very cold night to be out walking in the reserve tonight, but GLISS and I had our eyes on some challenge caches and this sneaky little puzzle. After a lot of bush bashing (we likely went the wrong way) we were rewarded with a fast find at GZ! Winner! Thanks for the puzzle. Thanks for the cache.
Second day of caching in Canberra this weekend. Weather looks a lot better then yesterday. With that said the bike came out if the car so I didn't drag it along the whole way for nothing. Lots of caches found again, thanks to all for hiding. Also made good progress towards a few goals.

I'm not sure that this one is still here. Nibletricecakes and I found a spot which fit the descrition. We looked around without success. A couple of photos attached of where we think the cache should be.
Here in Queanbeyan for the Clear Waters Mega Event and this was one of the pre solved caches we found.

Day 8 Mega Road trip.
A Tassie contingent was out and about searching out caches and this was one we found. A nice stroll around the the base of the Mountain. We caught up with another group of cachers on our way. TFTP

Smittengranny and I, out and about getting caches for the summer game and decide to head up the mountain early for others and leave this till last on the way home. This was our last one. Lovely being in the bush again. Cache found in good condition.

I was out grabbing a couple of new GCs nearby, and noticed this one. A quick check that the eastings matched what I expected, and I was off to GZ after crossing the road. Cache found all OK.
Thanks

Found with Goldenwattle.
Goldenwattle had worked out the Southing and my scientific background helped me to work out the Easting.
Nice mixed puzzle.

Solved jointly with Decrypter. I had no problems solving the south coordinates, but couldn't figure out what the east coordinates meant. Decrypter, with a science background, looked at the east coordinates and had soon figured that out. TFTC Sol de lune.

Pre-solved last night so headed in to town with a slight detour to pick this one up today. Made a relatively quick find here this morning.

Saw this small collection of GA Caches right of the road on the way home so took a enjoyable short walk to get all of them.
The puzzle I had to do spontaneously on the fly, thankfully it was quite easy and after about 10 minutes I was good to pick up all three GAs close by. TFTC SDL

I can't believe that I had to seek a bit of help with this one - my mind must be going numb with all the puzzle solving I've been doing lately. Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Southing had me flummoxed for a while until a caching colleague stated the obvious. Doh!!!! GZ in a lovely part of town but I am glad that it wasn't too far in. TFTC and the puzzle
I headed out to pick up a couple of caches that haven't been found in a while. I have had it worked it out for a while so glad to make the find. TFTC

948. Now that's my sort of puzzle - no brain power required. Not the easiest puzzle we'll do today but close to it. Now that we've cleaned up these closer ones it's time to head south for some more caches and training.

Another find while out with McPhan walking most of the Black Mountain Reserve, from north to south and west to east. Thanks Sol de Lune for the hide. By the way, I misplaced my black gps case somewhere during the day and in spite of coming back looking for it I've not located it. If anyone finds it, I'd be pleased to get it back thanks.
GCA 1276 - 14303. Found during a mini-GCA run around Canberra.
With the last game vastly adding to the number of GCA Caches in Canberra I thought I'd better start to make a dent in them. Next find for the day. Another nice easy puzzle - the best type really ! Walked to GZ for a quick find. Signed the log, returned the cache, and headed off home.

We had solved this puzzle some time ago so were pleased to be able to look for it today. We enjoyed a brisk walk to GZ where we quickly located the well hidden box. Cache and container were in very good condition.
Thanks for the puzzle and the hide Sol De Lune

finally collected this today. slowly clearing out the GCA caches in the ACT. TFTC!
This was second of the pair of GCA caches over here this arvo. Thankfully some past calculation skills came to the fore while I was sitting in the carpark and so after a quick traditional find nearby, it was off to my calculated GZ where I soon had the stash in hand at 16:25.
TNLNSL. Thanks again Sol de Lune.

We were cleaning up this side of Black Mountain this afternoon and this was our first stop. Had solved the puzzle some time ago and finally made the find today. No problems with the cache. Thanks Sol de lune
This one was next on the list and a short stroll from the last one soon had me at my calculated GZ. A quick find followed. Pretty sure this is my first GCA puzzle for the ACT. Nice!
Thanks Sdl for the cache.
Thanks Sdl for the cache.
It seems a local cacher has been getting out and about again, and we all benefit from a few new caches. The puzzle for this one was art last one I saw into straight off, so with a bit of looking up I had an answer, but could not get out until today. Nice short walk in the scrub to get this one. Thanks

#GA268 - 19:55; This was the last of seven on an afternoon run. I was planning to leave these ones until January to get me up to my 15 for the month, but what the heck, they are new and they are there to be logged, so I did a loop from Gungahlin to Sutton, along Sutton Road to Jerrabomberra and on to Hume and home again via Black Mountain. I'd picked up most of the caches on the list for the mission and this was the last.
I had spotted this one soon after it was published and soon had the south coordinates to hand. A conversation with the CO at an event yesterday put me on the right path to a solution and I decided to make the grab today.
After replacing the dead batteries I'd just loaded into the GPSr for the previous cache, I was all good to go and took the geomobile along the goat track to the next parking spot. Not the smartest move as it was a tight fit over the mopund at the far end into the carpark. Safely parked, I headed through the gate and on to GZ where a much quicker find for my first GCA puzzle was to be had, along with the fourth *2TF* for the day as well.

Looked at this for 23 seconds yesterday at work, it didn't click, so I left it. This morning looked at it for 22 seconds, and had it solved! Thanks SDL. *FTF*
