Done with JohnnyBoy as part of a CBC bushwalk. TFTC. Also found the object but the container was missing as was the log book.
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. Great cache - but as others have previously logged, no log and needs maintenance. I have a photo to prove it. TFTC.
Well we found where it should be. Unfortunately the screw cap and log were missing so we couldn't sign. We'll log a needs maintenance Lots of flies around.
Found the cache location but the screw cap was gone and there was no log. There was evidence of recent animal activity in the hide, although I don't know if that was what unscrewed the lid!
Awesome little cache! Love it!!!!
4th for the day - good views all the way to Black Mountain tower. TFTC

Found with Rapidlywild during another fun and massive geomission together Once again, RW had already found this one was the next stop for me. Pulled the car up nearby and then I went in for the nice, easy find. Hahaha! another cool container! Thanks for another GUIO
Very cute. Had to take a photo of this one. Log is a little damp but we could still sign so all good. TFTC
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!!

Nice hide container again for this one, though it was unscrewed with the LB showing. Not too wet though. Great series, TFTC
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
As another cacher said, the log is full and wet, and the container does not seal properly.
Log a bit damp, added an extra one. Threading on the container is a bit loose so doesn't seal completely right, might need some kind of waterproofing. Very cute container though!
This was the third find I made today with my mum on a trip around this part of Canberra. A very cute cache! I found it in the first place I looked. TNLNSL TFTC growingupisoptional!
Doing a loop of the Brindabella today brought us here to a easy find. Love it thanks. Cool container. I made us smile. Thanks Growingupisoptional. Cheers
Found at 3.00 on our way back into town. Wind starting to pick up making it a great day for caching. TFTC
Sunday 17 February 2013 - a warm 28 degree summer Sunday afternoon in GeoGrandma's car. Cute bike however the cylinder screw thread has been stripped. Needs to be carefully replaced to keep dry. Thx p2p, TFTC
Nice container ) the lid doesn't screw anymore however. Placed the log in a zip log bag for protection. TYFC
Not sure if it was where it was meant to be and the lid was off - not too much damage though. Concealed safely again. Very cute.
Cool series, doing a cache day with the kids. We've never been out here; it's lovely.
Clever container, but the cap won't hold closed.

Found on a wet but nice morning in Uriarra. A nice easy find in a nice area. A fantastic container - very well done! The container may have been cross-threaded though. Anyway, great cache! TFTC GUIO, Puddle_Jumpers-PJ's and mark_rattigan!
Loved the Cache - Unique. I dont expect to see another one like this for a while.
Found on the way home from Camp Cottermouth. Thanks GUIO 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.

Now this was very cool. Thanks. I'm glad the little ones weren't with me, could have been painful.
Found on a nice day's caching with Genghicat and Geodaughter. Enjoyable trail of caches in a scenic part of Canberra.

Extremely cool cache. Very nicely done. Littlest one wanted to take it home and exchange it for one of her swappables, but we convinced her that it wasn't a swappable item.

Cool Loved it. Great work on this cache. Found on a great caching weekend with J+J.au. and Geo-junkies Thanks SLTN..TFTC
Quickly jumped out and grabbed this one. Gave it some more camo. The seal on the container isn't as tight as it should be as it just keeps spinning.

A pleasant afternoon's drive clearing up some of the missing 'Biker' drive bys. Thanks GUIO
4th 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. I have given a favourite point for this one because of the camo.

Found @ 12:18pm with hccatcher11415 on a lovey autumn day
Love the link between the cache and the cache name!. Good one GUIO!

Well we did not set out to do this series but after trying to get to Mt Franklin with the car GPS insisting we turn off early down repeated forestry roads with locked gates we where in need of a cache fix and this one was in the phone and provided enjoyable stops to look at the country side. We ended up heading up to The Lonely Cache. On getting back to the PC we saw we had missed one of the series so will have to come back to complete. Certainly a quick way to get your totals up. Excellent container, got a good laugh. TFTC
A quick search with Hoojar and the unusual cache was soon found. Nice!
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache.
best wishes,
Wal

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!)
A nice change in container type with this cache!!

Loved the container - 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!
This one was offline last time I was out here, so thanks for sorting it out. I think that is it for this series for me. It has kept me busy for some time. Thanks.

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 third cache in the series I came across and, after finding the pillion one, I had no idea what to expect next. While this cache my not be the most original hide, it is certainly right up there not original container.
Thanks for the cache and the series growingupisoptional

Third cache for the day, wish we could attach the gps to the headstock of the scoots - Enzo had to stop to check how much farther many many times But it didn't matter, we enjoyed all the stop starting because of lots of awesome cache find rewards. TNLNSL TFTC guys!!!
The screw isn't working, I have added a zip bag for the entire mini me. Onto the next.
Really enjoy the novelty containers and this one was most appropriate. A quick find & sign of the log and off we went to the next. We had heard Canberra gets cold - but it was freeeezing. TFTC growingupisoptional. Cheers
Hahahaha! Cute!
(it's not every day when i start calling containers cute..)
As previous finder has said, lid wont stay shut on container. Arrgh!
3 down, ...more to go!

the container has broken free needs re-glueing and the lid is not sealing up so log is a little damp
Can't believe that this one hasn't been muggled by the person who does the slashing!
