Found on a night adventure in Mulligans Flat with Nibletricecakes. This one was quickly found. There are some really decent sized hides in this area. Unfortunately, the container is not waterproof and the log is sodden and urgh - but it is always nice to find larges on our adventures. TFTC SDL.
Doing a walk with the family on Mulligans Flats with the nice weather found 19 GCs and this GCA cache. (could have found more GCAs but had not prepared them for the hike) this one I could luckily do on the run, wasn't far to check one of the two location and surprised to find a giant! box here. Wonderful, proudly showed it to the family . The logbook is very wet though (see photos), I emptied the water out of the container and put the log at an elevated point in it, such that it should not lie in the water puddle anymore.
I headed out into Mulligans Flat with Joolay and AKM to collect the caches about halfway between 'pointless Roundabaout' and Horse Park Drive near the Federal Highway. It was mostly flat and we had a great walk. I was happy to get to five previously solved GA caches along the way, so a good bonus.

Looked at the two coordinates and took a punt on one which turned out to be correct. Container found OK, but the log was absolutely putrid. Wasn't even game to touch it, so signed some waterproof paper and left with the logbook.
Thanks,

Out and about with teamMerlin and phlphotos and alnic39 for a day filled of caching. Heading south to the ACT.
Nice quick find ounce at GZ. We all signed the cache and returned as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition.
Thanks for the cache Sol De Lune

With a planned GC and GA caching run south to the ACT, set off with Splitty Miller JJCC early in the morning and catching up with phlphotos and alnic39 for a team assualt. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find at GZ with the cache found out in the open. After signing the log we replaced as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache Sol de lune.

Phlphotos did the mind work on this one and we just tagged along. We all did our bit for this incursion into the ACT. Great trails for riding in the area. TFTC

Came down with alnic39 for a day trip into ACT we had teamMerlin & Splitty Miller JJCC catch up with us before we entered ACT. Had a few caches targeted we got to some but missed others that we didn't get too. The main ones we got were Geocache, Canberra Nature Park, I Dunno and started to collect some of the UGC caches. It got quite warm into the early 30°& most of the caches were in Mulligans Flat area so the rock base warmed up a bit as well.
This was a nice easy solve got the coordinates first go. The coordinates were accurate so it made it a quick find
Signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache & log are in good contition. Thanks for the cache Sol de lune

GCA 1583. A quick find after work today with minniek.
With the Reserves open again after the cull we walked in just on dusk for this one. Another nice-sized cache located and crossed-off.
TFTC !!

Had not prepared for caching today so still had work clothes and heels on when we headed up the path for this cache. Found just on dusk, we were watched by a couple of cache guardians in the paddock nearby.

A quick visit to now even more familiar territory. A short wander and the container was soon discovered.
Even I can get my head around this type of puzzle.

Out before the heat. I met a ranger later who confirmed the whole area is off limits on TFB day. Oops

Back out to a familiar area to grab a couple of caches today. A simple grab at GZ.
Thanks Sol.

#GA1183 - 16:46; I got a tip that there might be some new caches emerging now a certain CO had returned from sailing the high seas, just pleasantly surprised they were so close to home. Made my choice from the options presented and headed out to a familiar track. It wasn't too long before I found this big boy and very blank logbook! A *FTF* was a bonus, as I knew andrewbt was also hot on the trail. In fact, we met up not too far from this cache a short time later. TFTC Sol de lune
