We were heading back out to Kurrajong after a Sackville trip, the kids noted this one up ahead. The container was found in dried mud on the ground, squashed, and difficult to open, surprisingly the log was only 'not that bad'.... replaced where found, as there was nowhere else....

Not venturing too far from home because of the weather but thanks to Outdoornut22 were out and about and on the hunt fo a couple of micros in the area. This container has seen better days and kinda looks like it might have been accidentally stepped on?? we were able to get it open. thankfully the log was in a snap-lock bag and didn't get to wet so we were able so sign and replace.

out today to find a few despite the wet weather, making the most of a break in the rain we managed to find this one still intact. Container is still very damaged and has been a bit wet inside but we were still able to pry open, retrieve and sign the log. Tftc

Found today on a cache hunt with thomo31. Container is damaged, looks like it was run over but still usable (just!).
Thanks for the cache.

Since it’s been very hot the last couple of days and also today, I did an early morning cache run to try to miss the extreme heat. Cache was easily found but it has a bit of damage, may have been hit.
Also, today I wanted to find this cache for the Journey or Destination - Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
1.Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
2.Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
3.Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
4.Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
5.Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills, Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache), Traditional, TrigPoint, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia, The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced, The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period, The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more), The geocache is one of the following types:, Moveable, Traditional, Augmented Reality, Beacon, Gadget, Multi-cache, Night Cache, Podcache, Reverse, Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.
So, A BIG thanks for the cache and the location of it. TFTC / TFTH / SL

#GA2314 - 17:20; When the States of the Nation game began, a plan was hatched for a group of ACT cachers to take a trip north to the Hawkesbury on a scavenger raid. As time passed the group's numbers dwindled, but with a bit of work solving puzzles and a few things rescheduled, our merry band comprising andrewbt, Sol de lune and I set off on a damp Canberra morning to try our hand. A recent visit to Canberra by cachers from this area provided an added incentive, so we could repay the karma points we gained from their visit. A successful day it turned out to be with 56 finds and only three DNFs. A nice quick find and sign in an area which could get much busier than it is today. TFTC Splitty Miller JJCC

First of the day raiding the Sackville area for the summer games! I'm yet to have any time this summer to cache so today had to make up for lost time! Now for that reverse cache!

We parked at a nearby cache and the shorter team member was sent to locate the container. Fortunately height was not a required attribute for retrieval of this cache. The container was quickly located and the log signed. Container and contents were in very good condition.
Thanks Spitty Miller JJCC We did have a smile at the cache name.

Well today was a day of firsts;- First reverse geocache, First podcache, FTF on a touchable GA cache!
I was driving out mainly to have a go at the reverse cache & gave Lucky1955 a ring to see if he wanted to come too. He did!
We managed to pick up a few others along the way.

Like phlphotos, I thought this one might be a bit hard to get as I walked towards it. But I didn't need to worry, it was easy to reach.
Thanks
Thanks
Stopped here on the way back from Tizzana's thought "oh no how am I going to get that cache" but in the end the reach wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache Splitty Miller JJCC

Out for a third few hours drive to reach the caches this way! As I pulled up I was rather dismayed to recognise GZ and thought i ought to have kept my ladder in the car. Luckily I managed to grab the cache ok though 
In the area and stopped by this one. Not as busy at this time now that school is out. I hopped out of the car and three steps latter had the cache in hand. Signed log before replacing as found. tftc

Passing by and quickly grabbed this one as a needed scavenge for the Summer Scavenger Series. Very easy find and luckily no traffic this afternoon at 3.30pm for a FTF. Signed and replaced as found.
