#GA2299 - 15:10; 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. On a bit of a roll as we wandered through the bush on foot. TFTC teamMerlin

Next stop as we continued our way around the area. So many caches so many logs....however we've managed to find and keep a good record of what we visited, and once at GZ here, we soon had the cache in hand and our names in the log.
Thanks again TeamMerlin....still a few to go for today.

Thankfully its very easy to keep track when there are only two sports to contend with. Finally added my name to the log before the New Year event at the winery.

On Friday while not wanting to do much work had a go at solving this one. Worked out the numbers required from the puzzle and eventually came up with 2 numbers put them in the checker and got the all clear. Whike out in the area this as fternoon went for the walk to GZ. Located the cache and signed as found thanks for the puzzle teamMerlin. I replaced it the same way Baktrak did but possibly gone down a bit further.

A likeable little puzzle that I couldn't be totally certain of until the checker confirmed. Getting there was a challenge with the car nav taking us to the wrong instance of the first choice of streets, then finding the second one was private property. Third time lucky and after walking in we spotted the flash of colour from quite a distance. We left it a little better covered than we found it. Thanks teamMerlin.

Another top puzzle by the teamMerlin master! I don;t know where you get all the ideas from 
This one seemed pretty logical and it didn't take too long to track it down.
