Dancing through lights Civic Square, Australian Capital Territory, Australia

Found but was all in pieces and ruined by the rain. Found the top of the bag I assume. But was just completely ruined.

I can no longer maintain this cache.

TFTC

Matenice required!!! Uncouraged after DNF but we knew what the container after a spoiler picture looked under something that we won't mention and saw a magnet and plastic bag. The cover is deafinly gone.

Cache cover missing.

Found the logbook but no container. LOL

After much scrambling around, I read some of the comments and tried a different tact but unfortunately didn't come across it. Nice lights though. Will try again next time I'm in Canberra. TFTC

Canberra Day 1: In my quest to complete all the Australian states, it would be remiss if I didn’t visit the fine city of Canberra. So, in the first leg of my journey through Australia, I made my way to Canberra by bus from Sydney. Flew into SYD this morning, before catching a Greyhound to the ACT. Picked up a fair number of caches today, a feat considering most of it was spent travelling between cities, but a good start to the adventure to come.

This is the specific log for this cache:
I found the cache title rather nice (is that a “Wicked” reference?), but that didn’t prevent me from a rather protracted such here given how exposed the search environment is. I had the wrong idea, and the photos reinforced that stupid idea. After a while, changed tack, and figured where the cache was. A common cache type in Singapore, by the way. TFTC!

Nice one but got a little confused by most recent picture

cool buddy quite difficult someone cane up to me and asked me if I needed help finding something but I said no

Difficult at first but quite obvious in the end.

Extremely difficult

Did not find it

DNF

Couldn’t find it!

Couldn’t find it

Could not find the cache

one of tandooritiger’s suited men returns for more. ttfc

Surprised at how sensitive the lights are, a little whistle is enough to set them off. TTFC

That shit fked. After a night at an academic dinner, two suited men and rainbow kween in Gogo boots all slightly tipsy yet determined found this in an unlikely space. LOOK UNDER EVERYTHING

Not to many muggkes about on a very cold morning. Many thanks

Found after waiting for a few muggles to pass. Replaced it and heard it fall, soI rearranged the log and tried again. This time it stayed put. TFTC.

Thanks!

Oops I searched the wrong spot but Gliss soon had the cache in hand! TFTC

Banned from driving due to a bung shoulder, Gliss! came to my rescue, offering to take me for a cache to keep my streak alive. One cache soon turned into four and she even convinced me to do a multi! Impressive.

Found with Nibletricecakes on her daily streak. TFTC.

Thanks TienHua, replaced the plastic so it’s dry again. Log nearly full. Dancing Lights were very pretty. Cheers.

Found with MrsVault101 after admiring the dancing lights. Cool hide, great to visit at night as suggested.
TFTC TienHua!

My phone battery ran out just as I got to the cache site but fortunately I managed to find the cache without too many problems. Expected it to be smaller though!

Thanks!

TFTC

TFTC!

Found after ages it had fallen off and very wet..

Found it great spot thanks!

Plastic bag open at both ends needs a new one sorry didn't have one on us

Found during my adventures at the Clear Waters mega. Thank you for all the caches!

Lots of muggles around. Waiting for a break in foot traffic was the hardest part.

Day 3 of our Clear Waters event and Queanbeyan/ACT adventures and again we had cracking weather, perfect for caching. A walk/tour around Lake Burley Griffin took us to many highlights which we followed up with some more random wandering around Canberra. Log signed as E+E.

Nice and quiet in this part of town on Sunday morning. Good hide in a potentially busy spot.

Thanks TienHua for placing and maintaining this cache.

In Queanbeyan to attend the Mega. So great to get here early to spend time catching up with some many familiar faces. Always taking the time to grab a cache, when the opportunity allowed it.

This afternoon we were in Canberra picking up some what usually would be some difficult to get to hides. Being a public holiday, it meant we could almost park on top of lots of the GZ and search without too much trouble. Signed my logs as Happyman and had some fun and laughs along the way.

Thanks TienHua for all the effort of placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play

After lunch I travelled into the town centre to do some caching with Happy Feet
Being a public holiday the area was quiet desserted so we could search for the many tricky caches without a worry.
Thanks for placing this cache TienHuaMega event.

Found

Came here last week after a night course in Civic. Too many muggles tonight muggle free and after a quick search in one spot the second revealed the Cache. Tftc. Cool location.

Tricky

Found it hehe

Quick find after waiting for the muggles and cyclists to move on. The enclosed logs are a bit damp so a replacement soon would be worthwhile. TFTC

Tried this one once during a busy work day and gave up. Returned on a Sunday afternoon and it was a fast find. TFTH

Slightly tricky but a good one.

Just a night time cache drive, easy find and log and place back where it belong.. TFTC TienHua

No snakes in Civic tonight thank goodness

Great hide, not where I was expecting it. TFTC!

It's usually a busy time of year and often the amount of busy-ness is directly proportional to the number of kids you have and the number of after school activities they have. Tonight it was the eldest geoson's drumming concert. While waiting for that to start the rest of the family went for a little walk around the ANU but first we popped over to find this cache so I could continue my daily streak (day 189). The younger geoson quickly made the find after I had initially looked somewhere else close by. Thankfully there were few muggles about this afternoon so there was no problem retrieving and returning the cache. TFTC

The most difficult part about this cache was getting a break in muggles activity so I could search, but eventually it happened. My GPS showed the cache was in the middle of the street and I walked all corners to narrow down my search perimeter. In the end it was where I expected. Cache was found in good condition though log clearing would be beneficial. Tftc

Dragged my mother to grab this one on the way to a movie, TFTC! Log is quite damp and needs replacing.

My sleuth geocaching “skills” were spotted .... by a fellow geocacher!
Great to meet @bellsangels and a team find

F(H)ound it! #2912 @ 3:15 PM

I had to DNF this one earlier because muggles were resting at GZ. Today it was still relatively busy for a Sunday but I was still able to grab it with the help of the Ridgeo-pup. I pretended she had pulled me over to GZ and I was trying to get her to sit and behave when really I was making a grab for the cache.
I love the lights in the street, however its to bright with Spring sunlight today.

Thanks for the cache TienHua

Flat little one

Yay

Needed a rest after heavy day I seemed to have been in the right area nice easy find after I got my bearings tftc

Thanks

A quick grab while sitting on the concrete did the job.

Too many people on a Sunday night! Looking weird feeling up a bench seat

Too many muggles. One right on top of GZ.

Got shown this one on a date. Loved it! Really brightened up the evening.

Tftc found with strawberrytops

Found after movies and dinner. It was pretty cold but not enough to grab tge catch.

Many a muggle about but sitting in the right spot even if it looked wrong paid off. Thanks.

Found today on a walk with JM383 helping her to get to 400 caches. It was fairly quiet but managed to draw blood looking in the wrong spot. TFTC

Why oh why are there so many people walking around on a Sunday arvo? Made the find though.

??

Yep it is still there - a quick find on this quiet street in the way to the dawn service

Couldn’t find it :/ but we have a feeling we were in the right spot and so close

Couldn’t find it. Felt like we were in the right spot as well.

No luck finding this one. GPS was all over the place, but looked in a couple of likely spots.

I wasn't able to find this cache. Relevant details are included below:

Muggles nearby again

The map was telling us to go to three different places

Found near a new sculpture, caching certainly takes you to new places.

A morning in Civic with TravelGran taking advantage of a long weekend which, hopefully, finds it less busy with Mugglers. Last time I looked at this one, the area was full of Uni students spilling out on to the footpaths and having a good time which made both parking and geocaching a bit fraught. Today, the place was really quiet and we had no problem locating this one. TFTC

Find #211 8:50pm. In Canberra for work with a colleague. Thought we'd do some geocaching after dinner. A quick foxtrot and we found this one. TFTC

On the way to an engagement in O’Connor this morning, I sought out four geocaches around Civic, finding three. Before nine o’clock on a Sunday morning proved to be a quiet muggle-free time for geocaching! Unfortunately not so good for the light display. This cache was a straightforward find, being in an obvious spot, more or less on the coordinates. Thank you TienHau for installing and maintaining this cache.

TFTC!

#421

A quick find in the morning for geodad while in Canberra for work keeping the team’s daily streak alive. Replacement was complicated by the arrival at GZ of the local JW representatives setting up for the day. TFTC.

We were walking past this area and thought ' wonder if there are any caches nearby. '
Opened the app and found this cache to be 8m away.
A quick grab and sign
TFTC

Had 2 visits for this one, lots of gps bounce so I went away and had a think about it and had it quickly on the second try. TFTC

Good quick find

Tftc!

Easy find. Thank you.

Took us a while. Found it with joviclim

Found it with Eldritch97!

Stopped by after attending a meeting nearby. A quick find, but as it was very daylight I didn't get to enjoy the light show.
Thanks TienHua!

Coordinates off but a sneaky hide none the less. TFTC!

Had to read previous logs to find this one almost gave up but glad we didn’t )

Quick find in the first place i thought, but second place i looked. Cheers!

I've tried several times and this one has eluded me each time.

Found it quickly in the second place I suspected it would be. TFTC

Gz coords are off but previous logs helped after not spotting it where I initially thought. Nice one. Cache in good condition. TFTC

Found on a lunchtime raid across ANU.... lots of DNF's but this thankfully was not one of them.

Found on a bright morning on the way to ANU.
Thanks for the cache.

Thank you, was great fun

Thank you for making it, loved the location

Great Location!!!
