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 and smalls in the area. a bit tricky this find. I was defently a bit stuck on the bus stop looking up down and on all 4 wall when the 8009 was seen and........ of course there is was a simple very clever hide and I thank you for it.

Out hunting caches with Sophoutloud today. We picked the worst time of day here as the traffic was pretty busy with evening traffic but felt a lot less suspect once we spied where the cache had to be and found it. Had a good smile when I saw the 8009

Needing a few caches for the August 2020 game, this was a quick find. Thankfully being Sunday, public transport wasn't an issue.

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.
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

Out caching with Thomo31 for her birthday weekend. Pulled up raced to collect. TFTC
Found with teamashy after visiting Tizzana Winery and doing some caching too. TFTC
#GA2312 - 17:00; 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. Once we were on the right side of the road, we made quick work of this one. TFTC phlphotos

Thanks for yet another one Phlphotos......
