Fore!saken Border Kinlyside, Australian Capital Territory, Australia

Hmph. They call it progress. I call it cache destruction. Oh well. Fare the well!

Uh oh - something's gone very wrong here.

Either I got the coordinates entirely wrong (which I checked when I got home - all seems ok) or the cache, sign and all are gone! There are roadworks nearby, and GZ put me in a freshly graded patch of dirt!

Could it be that this one is gone?

GZ led me into a patch of dirt in the middle of a road!
Think it may be gone with the sign.

Easy and quick find just at the start of our hike. TFTC

Found with geo son and daughter in law on nice sunny day

Nice easy find TFTC

this was the start of a verry long day and around mulligans flat geocaching,down on holliday with geo son,we are ready to start .sl.tftc

two of the cachers that i work with had been talking about mulligans flat
and how good the caching was there.
so as i was on leave and the dorrigo codgers (parents)were down we decided to go for a walk arround the reserve. just over 11ks walked and a good day had by all

TFTC

Great location and very appropriate cache position.

Found @ 1350 - I was merrily plunging fingers into various nooks & crannies, then decided to actually read the size & description. Log is completely full, like a certain Pig after Christmas lunch (2 days to go!) TNLNSL-TFTC.

TFTC.

Spotted from teh car - quick nab and all was well. Parked here and headed into less friendly territory.

Well, we found this one. I can't remember anything except butterflies trying to get through the fence.

We were about to go for walk for the caches in the nearby park but ducked across the road for this one. Thanks for the cache Fore!

Found at 3.05pm GAFF1 in the company of Blackie_71, Browngang, Chewinprickles, and Robmc.
There's a lot of road works going on and cars were banked up nearly all the way back to NSW!
Thanks Fore!

Quick find before a nice walk around the nearby bushland. Managed to torment a fellow cacher who thought we were muggles on our return.
Thanks again Fore

We parked just across from this cache before we walked into Milligans Flat for half a dozen caches. Couldn't resist just nipping of for a quick grab.
Everyone played at standing in Yass and ACT at the same time!
Thanks, Robmc.

Quick find shortly after arrival at this spot. TFTC

Found on a day out with pprass, Blackie_71, Robmc and Chewinprickles. TFTC.

Quick easy find in the dark....and the dust

TFTC

Mr Bushies2 went there by himself while I was in a nearby town for business. Thanks Fore!

TFTC

First find for the day. Geez you would think the ACT government could tar the last couple 100m's of road to the border. Tight wads they are!

First for the day a good spot to park for the surrounding caches.

Completed with Faker_AU and The Heron.

First find for my ride through mulligans flats. Nice little cache. This was my second attempt. TFTC

Dirt roads and scooters don't generally mix but we always make an exception to chase down a cache. It would appear that the 60km speed limit doesn't apply if you drive a ute! We came across the hide with little trouble but extracting the log was something else. Luckily, Enzo keeps a multitool in the glovebox of his Vespa (thanks for that pressie Zita!) which was needed to prise out the log. After signing, Zita did a splendid job of tightly rolling the log which slipped back into the cache just nicely. TFTC Fore!

Quick easy find TFTC

Nice and easy

Found while out with GeoHubby & GeoHound. TFTC

TFTC easy location took a while to find the nano

2nd entry on new log

got out of car gizzmo said your there and in 30 secs had the job done Thanks for a clever hide SL

Out Fore! a quick maintenance run - didn't take long to do this one...
new log in place; cache in good condition.

Out doing maintenance with Fore! did kinda help. My first nano find! Tempted to continue out to Gundaroo for pizza but we had much to do. Nice spot, not so far from suburbia now...sigh.. I might see if I can help you hide some now, that would be fun.

Raspberry Vinegar

Log is completely full. I only initialled the log in a small space in between two other logs.

Out on a cold and windy caching run with Norkmeister.
I'm slowly mapping out the border via caches; this one adds nicely to the list.

TFTC!

One of 23 caches found with Doppelfrog on a loop of Mulligan's flat.

A little diversion out of the bush for this quick find. I predicted where it would be and wasn't disappointed.

Found on a Mulligans Flat blitz. Kust enough room to sign "MA ". TFTC!

Found while out on a caching run through the countryside with fitzy_1965 and AwesomeL - this one was found on the journey home (and I'm finally logging it !!).

Thanks for the Cache !

Found during a family stroll in the area. Log is completely full. TFTC.

#1543 Found on our Canberra caching weekend. Well this has to be the DUSTIEST intersection! We went in with navy blue and black clothes and we all came out beige. We were amazed at the amount of traffic utilising this road. TNLNSL TFTC Fore!

First find for what will be a long day of caching. TFTC

Another day in Canberra and another sixteen caches to add to our list. Great weather, great fun, thanks for the hides.

Found on an enjoyable walk out introducing friends to Geocaching. TFTC!

No Problems with this one. TFTC

#265 Found 15:45 First visit to this entry point...interesting that the sign indicates ACT on one side and Yass Valley Council on the other....what happened to NSW?? TFTC

#6 for our loop today. Pretty standard little micro hiding at the border with a lot of dust from passing cars. We logged our visit at 17:10.

A nice quick find at the border. TFTC.

I steped out of the car and I was already dusty.

Found during a visit to town to attend the birthday dinner and awards event.

My last find for the afternoon before making a dash back to our motel to quickly scrub up for dinner.

Thanks Fore! the cache.

Took a little longer to find than it would have in daylight, I think, but thankfully still a fairly short stop, as Cold Rock was calling... Another notch on the caching belt in good company. Thanks, Fore!.

Nice drive by as we headed of to capture some gnombes close by. TFTC

I had to retrieve this tiny cache as strike-a-light's fingers were a bit too big to fit into the tiny space it was hidden! Ditto for signing the log, squidgy writing is not his forte! Thanks for the stoppoff here, it's a nice quiet way to get into ACT

A nice brief find just as rubai, JezzzaXtreme and I started a long walk around the area.

Thanks!

#535: Found with linFox on a very HOT day.

Clever little hide. LNTN. Thanks for the cache.

Needed my wife's girly fingers to grab it out.

A quick cache on a road that is supposed to be closed (according to the road signs!!)

Being a Fore! cache i was aprehensive as i approached, but wasn't as difficult as i feared and quickly in hand. TFTC

Aha, another Fore cache to the collection!

Thanks Fore! for the cache.

Found with Well Station Geoscouts, Hawk, Geostrom and Concretegnome.

brilliant hide.i first thought it was a bolt at one angle then realised it wasnt a bolt.
TFTC

I have found so many Fore! Caches that I had to get one for my 300th. TFalloftheCs.

A quick little find out on a cahing ride. TFTC

Grabbed this at where we had parked the car after chasing a FTF.

TFTC

A morning bike ride with Newberys around the area to pick up a few caches in the area with this one being the thirteenth of the day. Well, I found this cache back in April this year under a different disguise and slightly different location so I have no qualms in logging this cache as another find. Cheers and thanks for the cache. 13 caches in 3 hours in a 12km circuit. Not a world record but most enjoyed with the company of Newberys.

Yay - after finding this one muggled (or cut down actually) last month, I got to log it today with Rbirtles. Another border crossing managed by Fore! and another one off the list, thanks Fore!

Almost got swooped by grumpy magpie doing border patrol...go back to nsw, you stupid maggie!
Nice and easy find, not as easy finding somewhere appropriate to park.

Nice nano cache!
SL TFTH

Quick find on the way to Wollongong. A different scenic way.
tftc.

This one's a blast... after the Newberry's log a little while ago, I finally got out to check on this one with Shadow! We had just dropped Huxley home and came out to check on this cache, noting that the tree that used to house the cache had indeed been felled. So I quickly located a new spot and we were then in business. Looking around a little, though, we were pretty taken with the new works around the place for the Bicentennial trail. Being an equestrian trail fan for setting caches (understatement) I called Shadow! over for a closer look...

And then I said "What's that... r a b b i t... doing there .. it's a himilayan or something..." and Shadow! trumped me with "and there's a lop-eared!"...

Have you ever seen a couple of cachers, in a national park, trying to be rabbit wranglers??? Have you EVER tried to wrangle rabbits??? We chased them here, there... and bloody everywhere! We threw coats supposedly AT them, but really we threw them into the puddles that are omnipotent at the moment. We were diving (literally) at the rabbits.... hopping around after them.. herding... stalking... calling them to us... chasing them again... you get the picture. Eventually they took pity on us and gave us a chance to catch them. Once they had finished laughing, that is. We sequestered them in the back of the 4WD, after removing our freshly done grocery shopping just in case they were peckish, and wondered "What next!"

So that ends the funny side of it. We noted that some irresponsible person (and that's as nice as I can be) had indeed dumped the rabbits; their tray with some food just tossed over the fence... and the RSPCA has shut for the day, and the emergency vet won't take them off our hands... *sigh*... so we have them at home, crated up in a dog crate, where they are busy eating our shredded bank statements and making themselves at TEMPORARY home. Mickey, our resident cat is prepared to ignore them for a day or so, and Huxley is guarding them (or waiting for them to get out.. I am not sure which) but they can't stay here... Surely this is a true "lost and found"!!!

So here's my plea - Any takers???... photo attached...

Not a good start for the afternoon. Chain saw dust looks recent so may not be there. Will email Fore! To check we were looking in the right spot.

It was a very easy find. The clue really helped. When we got near GZ, a man was walking into the border of the ACT and lots of cars were coming down or up the road. Left marble, took nothing. Thanks.

A quick find before heading off to do the "Power trail".... TFTC

A quick find after returning from the nearby developing power trail. TFTC Fore!

Wow! I did not know this road existed until now. What a change only few hundred meters after leaving the building madness to be in the middle of a quiet bushland. Picked up Retirement TB. TFTC.

Busy little spot, people and cars everywhere, but a quick grab secured this cache with 131.

Make sure you get the correct mailbox.

Had done the City Gates a while back but never this one.
Nice easy one for the Geo Kid.
TFTC.

I do apologise for the generic log for this one but I cannot read my own notes pertaining to this find (not the best comment on my handwriting is it?) There is one word that looks something like "jiqzxling". Go figure.TFTH

This took the longest to find of all today's caches, although it was still pretty quick. TFTC.

Did this one in the dark on the way home tonight. Took TB and left bell.

#3 on a late afternoon hike to get the geokids out of the house. Took flag, left poker chip.
Took "Mackey Made It" GC, Left "Retirement" TB, Dipped our Astronomy GC. TFTC!

Wow, what a wet, windy day to be on the MTB and caching. Dropped in a TB and coin, took 2 coins,

Another fore! cache found.

TFTC

Footy man and coin dropped

Excellent hide spot - Left 2 x Geocoins. SL. Thanks Fore!

Found with geoson. Geoson was not particularly keen on grabbing the cache as it was surrounded by many spiderwebs. Great hiding spot! Cheers and thanks for the cache Fore!

1163 Found by baby&Mrs gopher on a cool damp morning at 0900.Some times baby just doesn't look in the right places.Yes an easy find that took longer then was really needed.Took coin Left coin and visited 2 others.Tnx again Fore!

Nice hide. Eynowd had to retrieve the cache. The baby on board makes it too hard to get into position sometimes!

L: Aussie Guitar GC

Cant go wrong with a bit of geocaching on Aus. day. Found easily while doing some work in this beautiful area. TFTC!

Well, given how fast cars were flying around here today, life and limb were potentially at risk. Still, with a lot of care, the road was crossed, cache located and log signed.

Grabbed GC and Visited GC "Fore!s Caches Only"

TFTC

Found along with a very nearby cache. Had to dodgy lots a earthmoving vehicles. tftc!

Well, this big bronzed 300+ cacher screamed like a girlie when he plunged his hand into the hiding spot and was greeted by the unmistakable feel of spider webs and the pitter-patter of many legs - Ewwwwwwwwwww. Gosh, I do feel the last finder may have over enthusiastically stuck the cache as far into the hiding spot that enouraged our 8 legged friends to incorporate it into their interior fitout. I didn't shove it in as far but left some bark covering the doorway that I'm sure the spiders will consider non offensive. No 4 for (ha ha) the morning, 3 more to go.

Amazing how fast the cars go along that road. Had geogirl with me and she thought it was thunder TFTC

A nice Fore!gotten stretch out of the ACT. Nice one. TFTC, left little Australia three Geocoin.

Found in the freezing rain, and then sat in the car until it cleared more. Thanks.

Found 1230. Nice easy cache. The way the construction is going on out here, with all the new suburbs I wonder how long this cache will last. Thanks Fore! the cache TNLNSL

While most of us were running up and down the side of the road looking for the cache OlderSamWalkingBoy found it with a lot less movement.

I was surprised how busy this little area was. Frequent passing cars, lots of parked cars and a couple of muggles. Stealth was actually an issue, especially as there were 6 of us....

Nice cache
quick find after a bout a 10.5km hike thru the natinal park
TFTC

Found it TFTC nice start to a nice walk across the road, Will need to find out more on this area lovely spot laef large dice took travel bug to slightly warmer country.
