Description
How do you like your eggs?
I've driven past this place many times and stopped briefly for the first time a couple of days ago. I'm not sure why there isn't a cache here, but that's now fixed. I always thought one of these two 'artistic' pieces was the mailbox, but that isn't the case. One of them is however, now GZ for a nano cache!
While you are at GZ, you might like to avail yourself of some of the local produce on offer there.

Day #1 of 2 (01/01/23)
What a great way to start the New Year. I heard that Canberra had a New Year’s Day event and decided that, I needed to be there. So, I drove over and noticed that I had some free time up my sleeves. I headed over the CBR WIG series to find some more. Unfortunately, due to high traffic I couldn’t get all of them. Then, I checked into my motel and from there over to the event. I turned up about 20 seconds before the CO. Soon enough, everyone else started turning up and a huge crowd was there. It was great fun and then Sebass19 and I headed off to find some caches nearby. This included Labs plus bonus and a multi. After this we headed off our separate ways. I then found a couple of more caches before heading back to the motel. Red Rooster for dinner tonight.
Day #2 of 2 (02/01/23)
‘Arrrr’… I said while stretching at 4am. Why so early and worst of all I couldn’t get back to sleep. Oh well, once the sun was up, I headed off to get some breakfast. A 25 minute wait at Hungry Jacks… plus the 15 minute wait for them to open. During this time, I ran across the road and found the cache that has been on the to-find-list for quite some time. Then I headed over to ‘Pialligo Redwood Forest’ to find a solved puzzle. Next I tried to find another lot of caches in the CBR series and some other caches further along the same road. However, once again high traffic meant I couldn’t stop at them safely and so I moved on. Next, I needed a multi-cache for the day, so I found one of DSD’s Highest Mint Tins. Then I went to the Belconnen Mall for some shopping and lunch. Then I went and filled up and went over to Hall to find the cache at the church before heading home. I got home around 5pm and that ended my trip away.
I stopped off here for the GC cache and thankfully I remembered that this one was also here. A nice quick find at GZ. The cache was signed as JM.
TB on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring me and the caching community enjoyment. TFTC’s and TFTE!

This chickens are awesome!! I really to love meta sculptures Out with GLISS! attempting a couple of GCA’s after work. Nice fast find on this one. Thanks for the cache!
Out for a daily cache with Nibletricecakes. This one was a quick find. Yay! Another shot in the Battleship game. TFTC.
Out with Just a cacher doing some chores so we decided to head a little further afield and grab this fellow while we were in the area.
A quick grab when we got to GZ.
Thanks for the cache LuckyL10n.

Oh another cache of yours LuckyL10n. Found with Joolay as we were out to grab as many points as we can for the summer game. A quick find by Joolay who happened to be standing in the exact right spot. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache. SL

I have often driven past admiring these sculptures. Today was the day to stop and have a look. Playing the summer game with Smittengranny and decided this was the direction to go. Thanks for getting us out and about.

I have always admired these sculptures but didn't realise how big they actually are when up close! Today was a chance to have a good look and to let my fingers do the walking to the nano cache. Log signed, just as the heavens opened! Glad I didn't get too wet and the road was nice and quiet for a change. TFTC

Great sculptures here. Took a little while to spot the cache and took even longer to replace as a muggle turned up and stayed for quite a while.
The O-ring has broken and fell off when I opened it.
Thanks.

Having parked nearby, and CO giving me a hint as to where I could find the cache. I pulled over and made my way over (again!) to find the cache.
With the utmost confidence, I reached in and felt a familiar shape.. bam.. done.. Fastest Nano find ever!
Quickly signed and put in, before heading to grab petrol, coffee and then some newly minted GCA caches
TFTC LL!

Found 4:37pm with girlfriend. A quick find. I always did wonder if the little trailer had a way to buy eggs and it does. Basically an honesty system it seems.

After looking for caches to meet part of the Canberra Suburbs Challenge, we came this way as we headed towards Goulburn for the GIFF event. We were amused at what greeted us, most appropriate given the business operation on site. Someone (or some people) had obviously gone to great deal of effort to create these masterpieces. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks LuckyL10n for the cache.
Have always meant to stop here and buy some eggs. Pity we had just done so at Costco. Quick find with fitzy_1965 and the geokids after a bit of retail therapy.

GCA 1792. Quick find after a shopping trip with minniek and the geokids.
After a successful CostCo run we were heading up Majura Road so this was a perfect cache to grab as our daily. Good clue soon had the cache in hand.
TFTC LL !! First time I've stopped for a look at the chooks.

What nice chooks!!! The generous clue meant a quick find here which was appreciated late in the day when we really should have finished caching. But how could we resist another GCA cache.
Thanks.
Thanks.
After work I went out for fuel and a bit of shopping, so that gave me a chance to head up the old toad and get this GA cache. The stall was closed and the cache was a quick find.
Thanks

I headed out to pick up this cache on another cache run for the SSS. Having lots of fun collecting the GCA caches. This one was a beauty and I bought a dozen eggs too - they are delicious and I will add a stop here in future on my way home from Costco. Nice little hide found in good condition. Thanks again LL

With a few new caches out it was time to head out and find them. No problems with the find here, but the log was a different story. While rolling it up to put back in the container, the end ripped off...and of course it was the end with the initials of the finders on. So I rewrote both the names in the log and then folded the ripped piece over that. No doubt that little piece will be lost before long, but at least the names are on the proper log.....some days you just shouldn't bother
Thanks LuckyL10n....neat little spot and name for the cache....

After a nice stroll up to Poppet Hill trig, I decided to call in and see the chooks on my way home. I made good use of the hint and soon made my mark in that hideously small container.
