Only the true believers in geo-heaven, Marmaduke Rothschild and I, continued on to find some caches after a Canberra Bushwalking Club Tuesday walk from Cotter to Uriarra Crossing. Returning to the Cotter after the walk, we drove Uriarra Rd back to Uriarra Crossing to log a few. Tremendous cache. Gets a favourite from me! TFTC.
We were looking around for this one, then I looked behind another tree... Wow!! Wasn't expecting a container like this, because it was a 'small' rating! Very clever.
Originally C-Chord and I were going to cross the river to find this one, sense prevailed and we took the road instead. Nice original container, and aptly named - TFTC.
Found with Rapidlywild during another fun and massive geomission together RW had already found this one a little while ago so I was on my own for the hunt here. Hahahaa! Love the cache container and the link to the name! Thanks, growingupisoptional
Found on a day of caching but to find and to hide!! Had some novice cachers with us and they had so much fun. 3 caches in one and also 3TBs for our efforts. TFTC
Dropped by to show Anna the lost pillion, and drop a few TBs. Sprung by the cache owner, on our way out to Mt Coree.
Been trying to catch up on way old caches for ages. TFTC's everyone your cache hides are certainly appreciated and Happy Caching to you ALL!!

Went out with KittyKatch, GrimRaider and ACTchil with Koda geodog to get this set. Tftc
found this cache with Darzee Di, KittyKatch and GrimRaider, rain has cleared for a fun afternoon. tftc
Found today with GR, DD and ACTchil on an afternoon road trip. Had a great time grabbing these caches. Loved the container for this one. TFTC
Cool. Reminds me of Dingo vs Koala, although it is mostly the stuff near that one. SL TFTC
This was the second cache me and my mum found today. Parked on the other side of the road as we were heading that way, and I made the quick dash accross to find the cache. Great hide, even my mum thought it was cool. A favourite point from me for creativity. TFTC growingupisoptional!
Doing a loop of the Brindabella today brought us here to a easy find. Love it thanks. Thanks for the effort in setting this container up and placing it here. Thanks Growingupisoptional. Cheers
Was wondering around thinking "I wonder where it is" and then I spotted it. LOL. A very good hide. Love it.

Sunday 17 February 2013 - a warm 28 degree summer Sunday afternoon in GeoGrandma's car. Thx p2p, TFTC
Awesome Did it by car together with Iewie... Not the easiest point to stop with a car, but worth it. Thanks!
Cool series, doing a cache day with the kids. We've never been out here; it's lovely.
Great container, loved it.

Found your pillion, or at least what is left of them. 2nd for the day, Excellent hide TFTC
Found on a wet but nice morning in Uriarra. A nice easy find in a nice area. A creative and fantastic container - very well done! We loved this one and the entire biker series! TNLN. Thanks GUIO, Puddle_Jumpers-PJ's and mark_rattigan; a very good one!
Loved this one! Never come across a container like this before.

Glad I was not the pillion here as there is lotsa gravel around. Having said that it would be a great place to have a ride through here. This is my last for the day as the light is almost gone and my GPS seems to be getting less reliable. A very special thank you to GUIO and PJ for the video as it brought back good memories from my younger days when I use ride. Thanks for the series.
Found on the way home from Camp Cottermouth. Thanks for the cache. I found a few of these in the series as I headed home. I look forward to finding the rest of them some time. TFTH Wombat.

Found after another massive day in the snow at Bulls Head. Realised we missed the previous cache but let it slide due to the limited turn around area. Made sure the "lid" was closed. SL @ 1605 TFTC!
Nice container, GPS was a little out i think, stumbled upon the cache by accident.
Found at about 10.05 this morning on the way to a scout camp at Wee Jasper. Very peaceful here today. Drove past and had to turn around. Arrived at GZ and spotted the very cool cache container from a little way off. Made the find, signed and was on my way to pick off a few more drive bys before I was due at the camp.
Many thanks GUIO

Found on a nice day's caching with Genghicat and Geodaughter. Enjoyable trail of caches in a scenic part of Canberra.

Found with Mehitabelcat, Tomiquid, Eynowd, DVixen and TigerMonkey. Given it was the start of a power trail, I'd thought it would be all eclipse mint tins. This was amazingly cool and very different.

Different ! Found on a great caching weekend with J+J.au. and Geo-junkies Thanks SLTN..TFTC
out geocaching whith Geojunkies and Baja15, little bit cold today, made a quick discovery, great having extra eyes . TFTC
A pleasant afternoon's drive clearing up some of the missing 'Biker' drive bys. Thanks GUIO
Found @ 1500 as the last on a quick caching run in the area - I was tempted to do the series in a single run - but after slogging around the parks for most of the day I also just wanted to go home, so on this occasion I skipped ahead with the aim of collecting the rest on future runs. A nice quick find of a very well protected container. Took both the 3-D World and the Dutch Flag_03 TBs (yep, I was being greedy - but then again, I am a pig!) and signed the log.
I watched the YouTube video a couple of weeks ago after I'd discovered this series - looked like a lot of fun to do, though I'm not sure I'd want to be seen hanging around with such a disreputable-looking gang of bikers!

2nd find for the day. It would be a beautiful friday morning to be out on the motorbike and doing the cotter/uriarra ride. Unfortunately for me my 1300 is sitting in the garage unregistered so the car will have to do to take us around this series of caches. A quick find and fitting camo.
Dropped off a couple of TBs

Had a chuckle at this one once hccatcher11415 spied it. Nice "camo"! Thanks for the first of many caches today GUIO!

Well this series is certainly good for racking up the numbers quickly. Found whilst heading back down the mountain from Waterfall Creek Canyon with WalW.
Thanks for going to the effort of placing the series, I love being able to get high numbers in quick succession!
(Sorry for the copy/paste logs on this series, I will make individual comments on the caches where applicable!)
Thanks for the entire series, this was the last one for us, and only one DNF. I will give this cache a favourite point, both for the series and for the great container!

I wasn't expecting the type of caching container when I got to GZ but it all made sense These caches have been sitting without a smiley on my map for quite some time so while having some spare time I thought it was best to come on out here and find them. Cheers and thanks for the cache!
Really got into the culture of the series and soaked up the experience rather than seeing it as a gleeful numbers run. (Teehee) TFTH
Given I had to go to Canberra for a weeklong training course any way, I decided to tack on the weekend too. To get some caching in of course. Even though I had been very busy at work before I left and I hadn't been able to put in my usual amount of preparation a caching trip to Canberra requires, I did notice this trail of Biker caches. While being slightly disappointed to not be attempting them on a motorcycle, given that I ride a motorcycle myself at home, I decided to have a go at them none the less.
This was the first in the series i cam across and i had no idea what to expect. On finding the cache i had to go back to the car for the camera , my biking/caching partners at home were not going to believe this one.
Thanks for the cache and the series growingupisoptional
P.S. Really bad form to lose that pillion, I hope you have since found them

Finally a sunny day to get out and about! We had been meaning to find this biker series for a while and today was the day for us to get out on our scoots. There were plenty of other bikes on the road, we think everyone was making the most of the beautiful weather. This was a totally rad hide, TNLNSL TFTC guys!!!
#299 Decided on a nice drive and did the "Biker" series. I think the pillion lost their head!! TFTC!
Finally, I have a chance to finish this run. Found the bucket easy enough and on to the next.
