Not throwing good money after bad....so someone else can have a go around here now......

Thanks to all who found it.....it was vacant land when I placed the cache, but progress has taken over.....

Cheers,

I'm not convinced that a muggle would just 'find' this one, but, alas it's gone. Not having much luck with my Tuggeranong caches lately....will think about this one for a couple of days and decided to what to do.....

Had two decent looks at different times today with TheStormMan. Bit disappointing to not find given its easy difficulty rating and drive by status. Gave up on the suspicion it's MIA.

Went a huntin' this one on the spur of the moment, on my way home from work. Was a little busy around the cache but managed to find, sign and replace without being muggled. TFTC

Got

Easy peasy little find!

Love this container. Is it Japanese? Excellent cache, thanks Sol de Lune

Smallest find yet, Woohoo! Thanks

Quick visit to the supermarket after finding another cache and I figured I might as well pick this one up as well while I was there.

Easy find TFTC

Easy find TFTC

After doing some caches in Namadgi NP, I decided to do a few in the suburbs before heading home. A quick and easy find. TFTC

First find in a while! The old man asked me to have a look while visiting because he couldn't find it, not sure why, was quick grab, thankfully! Tftc

Tfth

We searched for a few minutes but couldn't find it! It must be hidden pretty well, or moved!

good spot found it with jezza wyld

Good hide

Very clever and intuitive container. Found on a nice Sunday afternoon. TFTC Found with Scruffyblake, Charli_Bear & Me_To

TFTC

Found this with the family. The S's me_to and charli_bear. TYFC

Nice easy find TFTC

Once I figured out which carpark I needed to be in, it was an easy find. TFTC

When did the GeoSchnauzers and I last go geocaching? Ahhh, last Sunday. No wonder I feel twitchy - four whole days without a geocache find. Now I know how an addict feels. OK, time for our fix - you should see the dogs get excited when I pick up the GPS unit. I want to do ten today - I'm sitting on 382, and I want to get up to 500 by the time I get back to work in 10 days. I've lined up 15 caches for today - to allow for DNFs. C'mon, dogs, let's go!!!

Last cache of what turned out to be thirteen, and no DNFs!!! Good day. . Wow. I feel like a drug mule making a pickup. Here I am slinking around tying to look innocent until the car park empties. Ahhh, found it!! And I didn't get arrested!! Good hide. Thanks for the cache!!! . Time to go home, I reckon I've earned a beer today!! And I've had a really great day, and so have the GeoSchnauzers.

Tftc....had a fight getting the log back together .

Checked for nearby caches whilst waiting for a bushwalking mate. I'm still a newbie, as I had no pen - and a micro doesn't sport a pen. All made clear when I later read the full description "bring a pen"! TFTC

Found while waiting for friend

Thank u easy find

Thanks for the cache

Thank you found with Starry16 just logging now.

Very cool, I'm sure anyone who saw me probably thought I was scoping out cars to steal

Night find with only a torch & a screen shot of the map. Helped that not many people about! TFTC

Found on a dark night. Oh man, I love these type of caches. Thanks Sol de lune.

TFTC. Found with Gumby Maca while getting hamburgers.

Found on a quiet hamburger night - tftc Sdl

Too easy

Sneaky sneaky!! Very hard not to be caught. TFTC!!

Dam this area on a saturday morning is filled with muggles. Bad time to
find but luckily I was quick. Cheers.

Great container thanks for TFTC

A quick find while making a pitstop for some water. Neat container.

TFTC.

Found with Rapidlywild during another after work geomission gallivanting around the southern suburbs

This one took us longer than it should of lol [:O)]. We tried at the front first without success. And then GPS had us fooled by pointing us a little further. So round we went for a search-nope! not here! So then round we went again. I thought I'd try the spot first searched-but a little higher up this time and put my hand straight on the little bugger! I can see why I found it here and not RW-I'm a bit taller! [:O)] I was threatened with being left in the carpark after that one! lol Totally should have read the cache description properly FIRST!! lol

Anyway with caching duties complete, it was off for more fun!

Thanks, SDL!

It was time for a Friday Night random Geomission with specimenX

This time we decided to head far south and work our way north. We managed another 8.5 hour mission tonight before tiredness kicked in and we headed home.

We did discover a lot of unmaintained caches down here during our adventure. We did clean up a couple by replacing logs and drying out cache containers. All in all, the caching karma was on our side as we only had 1 DNF tonight.

Not sure about 4foot as I am only 5 foot 2 and it was above my head....... LOL

Thanks for a nice find Sol de lune

Managed to get out to dome some of this series with LuckyL10n on the big his special 1000 caches day.
Great day to be out in the sunshine.

#1001 - 14:50; Find number 54 for the day after an early morning start which had culminated in find number 1000 with the ACT 1000 Club acahe. It was off to the closest shops for a late lunch with Canberrachick, after which a quick check on the iPhone revealed this cache nearby. We turned it into a Southside Walk By with the GPSr taking us straight to GZ and a quick find. I'd seen a couple of containers like this one in Tasmania at the start of the year, which is a great recycling project for the avid cacher I guess. Thanks for another (unexpected) cache Sol de Lune

Took longer than it should have but eventually found it.

TFTG

TIFC. Log book/paper is getting a bit scrunched up and too big to fit into cache.

Quick find, cheers!!

Nice quick find after work TFTC

Tftc

Great hide!! TFTC

Awesome spot and cache design. Being a smoker made it much easier to hide our true intentions. Tftc

A clever idea.

Beautiful day today , second visit PAS us to cache, wow very cute cache... Thanks

First timer.. Good hiding. tftc

4 kids in tow, lucky it was late and no muggles, 15 minutes for our FIRST FIND. TFTC.

Wow! Finally found it since for long time.. Didn't read the hint properly! Good hide!

Waiting for the offsider thought I might see whats around. BANG cache several meters away! TFTC!!

Wow. This cache is good. Great design, great hide, exactly where I thought it was. No muggles, I think. Log was really curly. Thanks.

Very clever, TFTC

First find of the morning with Wilbert67 before heading down into Namadgi to locate some unloved caches.

Cheers

A quick stop for a rest and some food before heading towards Namadgi NP for a great caching day.
Liked the container.
TFTC Wilbert67

Picked this one up while looking for the nearby munzee.

lots of muggles, even on such a rainy, groggy afternoon. Very easy find, dodging muggle eyes was another story, tftc

An easy find. Thank you Sol de lune for replacing the cache. TFTC.

Cache was indeed gone....

Have replaced it with a micro. All to go again.

Cache on....

had a quick look but couldn't find anything but rubbish. Running late to collect one of the kids from a party so would have liked to have a better look, but not this time.

Too many muggles about to go crawling through bushes, etc. One was standing near GZ nattering on her phone; another couple were watching me from a nearby takeaway. It was only when I arrived here I found this was a shopping centre, as I am unfamiliar with this area.

Bouncing some TBs through here...

Nice quick easy drive by.... I guess that is why it is called drive by! By the looks of things Google maps needs to be updated. There is no paddock at the back of this one now!!!

The cache was quickly in hand all is good. I was able to make an easy grab while no muggles were out (perhaps the rain has something to do with that!)

Now off to do the shopping.

TFTC!

Bit of a meandering by as we visited destinations in the area. Had a great giggle and Eynowd swore he'd found this before.

Came to check out the game store, found the cache. I have a feeling I've looked for this before, but I'll log this again, just in case. TFTC!

Went to do this one before and it was aldi peak hour and couldn't get to it.

Went again and found it with no troubles at all.

TFTC

I check this cache every almost fortnight and all is good this time around. No idea why I have a 'Needs Maintenance' on it, when no-one has listed one. Strange.

Anyway, the cache is still all good to go.....

I had been sent to Condor by YSPsycho to find a "classic" cache as he described it, but not giving me the name or the reason it was so good. This was the first site I visited, but was not the cache in question. None the less TFTC!

Drop by on the way home tonight. TFTC.

A road trip back in May with Code 1 had me been driven around the city this time. A quick find after sorting out which side of the fence to be on. Always enjoy a quicker cache find.
JABs.

The area was mostly empty and we weren't sure whether to be on the up or down side of the fence.
Soon worked it out and had the log signed.

TFTC

Got Muggled. Had to put cache back later.

Nice easy 'find' - out with Jmanjezza and MadRummager.
And by 'find' I mean, the guys took the cache with them to avoid being muggled putting it back, and placed into my hands. I feel just a little guilty.

And don't worry, it's safely back in it's hidey hole now!

#999 After the colossal screw up at the last cache, we just had to find another SDL hide to stay on track for our milestone. The GZ was not, as we might have expected at this hour on a Saturday night, short on muggles. They seemed to be hidden in corners, at tables and even at the gym. Our first approach to the GZ had us scratching our heads for a second until we spotted the alternate approach which made much more sense. A quick detour had us back on track and Enzo made a quick find. Then it was over to Kingsley's to re-acquaint ourselves with chips and gravy - we would need the carbs for the find to come! TFTC

Found it.TFTC

Anzac Day was the ninth day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland. The day was fine but, at times, a very cold wind was blowing. As it was a public holiday, it was an ideal time to tour around the centre of Canberra to complete the Canberra Virtual Tour series – with the exception of the National War Memorial, we were able to complete these before going off to the Anzac Day March and Service. We then visited MtBikerOz before heading off to complete the data collection for the ACT windmills in Great Aussie Icon Hunt series. Finally we were able to find a few caches. Overall, a very busy and enjoyable day.

After visiting MtBikerOz we called into a nearby shopping centre for some lunch. We discovered that a cache was in or near the carpark. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. TFTC Sol de Lune.

Easy find.

TFTC!

Parked right next to the cache and found quickly. Very quiet on Easter Sunday. TFTC

183. After doing some of the owners caches up in the hills, it was nice to find this one here. TFTC.

No mugggles about , must be too early. TFTC

Nice and easy..Great day out caching with J+J.au. TFTC

Fun Find, TFTC

Fun find, got a few funny looks from muggles but I think we got away fine

High muggle area, but I think they just thought we were a pair of crazy people TFTC

Super Cacherday Afternoon in Canberra! 50 finds. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!

Tftc.

Easy, great find on the way home from my first cache!!

Found silver lunch box.
Silver painted magnet has come off.

Found during a quick lunch break. Left a marble, took a penny. Tftc

Quick drive by grab as we were in need of some food. Great place for it.

Picking up TB's for my QLD run next month. TFTC
