Thanks for taking us to this beautiful church. The mosaics are amazing. We stopped and reflected on current world events upon seeing the Ukrainian and Australian flags at half mast. A sobering sight. Thanks betchern0t for placing and maintaining the cache for our enjoyment.
Came back to find this one after being with WesternSydWanderer earlier in the year when he got it - TFTC
Beautiful church, thanks for the cache!Cache is a little damaged but still in decent condition.
We where checking everywhere, it was our first time and was confused if we had actually found it, but we did. Great cache!
Interesting walk around the Ukrainian church. Nice view of it from the cache
Another quick find here today, nice graffiti nearby. Log signed and replaced as found.Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.Greetings from MelbourneTftc
Found 4:49pm - - A nice little hide. All in good order.Unfortunately we didn't make it to the best bits of the **2024 Canberra Geobash**. Most disappointed. Easter snuck up on me. I have been so busy working I didn't give too much thought to Easter. I was told a couple of days beforehand that Easter is this weekend. Imagine my shock !! While I am privileged to be able to say I am not working X number of days, I felt somewhat obligated not to say so at such short notice. Nevertheless, we got here in the end. Although we didn't get much done relating to actual cache finding, we did get some *Adventure Labs* and *Virtuals*. Always enjoy roaming around Canberra. TFTH *betchern0t*.
Fount It and another smiley to boot. Out caching with *Throsbyonchurch* and *Little Panther*. Thanks for the cache hide **Betchern0t Orthodox**, *Betchern0t*. DustyJaperJet
March 29, 2024 12:19Found during Capital GeoBash 2024 with AidenELTFTC betchern0t, this is find #28 for me. Aza34
I'd briefly considered going past this traditional when I was in the area last year, though it was just as well I chose a route elsewhere as it meant I could save this one for today!The Papua New Guinea PM is in town, and it was pretty astounding to see the convoy (including that famous number 1 car that I'd seen out the back of Kambri earlier) rush by as I went to cross the road towards gz.A staff member from ANU had a great chat with me about the event in the cultural centre that she attended featuring the aforementioned PNG PM before I had to diverge down the sidestreet to this hide.Nothing too complex here, although I did pick my timing to ensure the area was quiet enough for a comfortable retrieval!The cache was found in the first spot checked which is always a welcome surprise!Thanks to betchern0t for this placement! 
Spent a long time trying to reach the wrong GZ, but realised my mistake eventually.TFTC!
Thanks for bringing me to this interesting church - have seen many similar around the world. But they are all unquie in their own way. Quickly found this morning while out for a walk before bridge play starts at the Rex hotel.Greetings from New Zealand
Last time I came past I could see it but it was stuck and I couldnt get to it. Much easier to reach this time. Thank you!
Had someone else coincidentally find it for me! Saw it but didnt think it would be the cache. Tftc
This was part of the evening caching hunt. Our day could be sliced into three sections: morning Geo bash tour, afternoon scooter-caching around lake burley griffin, and then night caching after dinner.

This one was a quick find today TFTC

Nice little find before a day of study at ANU. Loved the nearby abandoned building adorned form head to toe with really cool street art, I definitely felt comfort in knowing that Moe Szyslak was looking over me as I made the find! TFTC
Opportunistic find while nearby. Eventually found the right spot. Another Betchern0t cache knocked off
All good with the cache. Been a while since we last found one of this familiar type. I figure they are becoming superseded by smaller and built-for-purpose alternatives…
Cheers Betchern0t

In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country on which we geocache throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We (the pants people) pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Flags lowered at the Ukrainian Church across the road, of course.
Easy (dirty) grab.

My first find and what a great one to start on I have come down for swimming and thought I would pass some time with my dad and go geocaching
We powered up on chocolate soft serve before seeking out this one. We're enjoying this church series! tftc
It’s Cancon long weekend so that means Finalf29 is war gaming and I’m caching... win win and happiness all round. Thanks to all the CO’s for giving back to the game your efforts are really appreciated.
Had a struggle to retrieve as trapped... spent a bit of time wriggling it around to get it out. Placed back in line with hint. Thanks

Quick find on a walk this morning. Cache quickly found, signed and replaced. TFTC
Great day out for finding caches before visiting the War Memorial. Tooka little bit of ingenuity to remove from hidey hole as the last cacher must have forced it down. On retrieval logbook is damp. No room for SWAPS or drops. SL TFTC TFTH Replaced cache as found ready for the next cacher. Thanks Betchern0t
A nice day for a walk around the streets of Canberra, TFTC, TNLN, Paul and Brenda.
Thankyou for this interesting find! When i found it there wasunfortunately no log book or anything in there but it was still a good spot/find.
Cool spot! The capsule has no log and some weird blue liquid inside so maybe consider replacing that. Anyways TFTC!
Found it, sadly it got so wet during the storm that the paper cannot be used/unfolded/written on. We‘re leaving a note inside though, and we’re happy to find the Orthodox Church through looking for it
Way to soggy to write on and in a very good location
I saw the Ukrainian church and I had no idea that Ukraine went through that
RIP

Quick find, but unfortunately the log is soaking (see photo) and an attempt to remove it just squished it a bit more. The church is very beautiful, TFTC
On a brisk evening walk by the bloody children clothes with the bestie, quite quant
Wasn't sure where to sign so i pit my scratch between ink stains. Log is wet.
TFTC!
