I had problems finding my own cache... after over a decade cache had been moved a long way from where I initially hid it. Replaced container lid, relocated, good to go.
Lovely little cache. Found with my 7 year old daughter. Swapped out some stickers. Lid of container has smashed though so not super waterproof.
We really liked this geocache and we loved it
Good geocache hiding spot
We really love geocaching

Time I got into this area. Phone had it's own exercise to do and it wasn't helping me. Cache found without my mates help. SL TFTC
Didn’t take too long to make the find. GPS wasn’t at all helpful given the location. Thanks for the cache.
On leave, so thought we'd spend the morning on Bruce Ridge, looking for caches! We took The Woofer, and found 19 of 19 caches. We left mochie squishies in all containers that would fit them.
This was a bit too easy, sitting out in the open. We covered it a bit after signing to keep it away from prying muggle eyes. TFTC!

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. What an interesting structure. What is the timber for?
First one for the day as Silvereyes and I head for Bruce Ridge from the Hospital car park. Silvereyes found this one a while ago so it is my turn. The hint is spot on and easily found. TFTC
Second day of caching in Canberra this weekend. Weather looks a lot better then yesterday. With that said the bike came out if the car so I didn't drag it along the whole way for nothing. Lots of caches found again, thanks to all for hiding. Also made good progress towards a few goals.

The GeoHound and I took advantage of a nice cool day to do an 8.5 km walking loop to collect all the Bruce Rage traditional caches. I haven't been here before - the MTB tracks look fantastic (and were well used today), I'll have to bring the GeoKids and their bikes here.
This cache was very well placed; I found pacing and a search of logical hiding spots helped, and soon had the CIH. Thanks Canberra_bushwalker!

This little one was right on my door step, yet never knew this place existed! Thanks CB for taking me to these cool places!
Calvary drop and wait, parked, walked, looked, found. Why the wooden structure? Heard a frog in little rivulet, back to car, still waiting. Tftc is a favourite
Found while exploring around the area. I appreciate the extra effort to find a hidy hole for a container that size. TFTH
This one took me around 25mins to finally locate. I should have read over some of the previous logs before I attempted it! For those coming next - it's not near the tunnel entrance! Move into the tunnel a bit - and it is in an obvious spot! TFTC Canberra_bushwalker.
E E E E EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE [Found!] at 8:54am! 
This cache was quite tricky. Luckily the hint indicated where to look. Of course the GPS died in the tunnel so we were looking at the very start of the tunnel for a long time. When we had looked for 10 minutes I looked at Coolducky and said, "This isn't happening." So a walk into the tunnel and found it
The cache was taken out and signed. All in good condition. This cache will never get wet! TFTC Canberra_Bushwalker!!

Since was in the area dropped by to have a look. Still looking good for a cache from 2011!
Pile on my way back home has been fun to get a new and new car in new days of the weekend
Wow this one was harder than need be as GPS stops working by the cache, eventually found by walking it carefully. Thank you we had a good laugh.
#3693 Just as I was counting out the meters by estimating, Green-martian found this cache on this warmish Saturday morning. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC.
Australia Day long weekend caching with TheSkype. Caching Bruce ridge, walked (mainly bush bashed) about 5.5km in all. I was 100% sure this was a tankengine cache, I was wrong. GPS didn't work in tunnel so using natural measuring skills found cache in a very dry spot. Tftc
Found 10:49 19/10/19 with Kipple, TheTrueCornDogs and LostYuki on our way to explore Bruce Ridge. Thank you Canberra_bushwalker for the cache and bringing me to this location.
Found while caching with LostYuki, Kipple and me Windy.
Great hide. And lots of swappables.

Took a couple of mins for the GPS unit to settle but once it did all good .
Nice size and nicely hidden .
Many thanks for the cache hide.

Thanks for taking us to a beautiful bush land right in the city! Cool Sunday walk with the geohound and hubby. TFTC
Hello Canberra- great to be back in the CAPITAL. Almost a challenge until I delved deeper. Most noticeable is the sound system in the tunnel - a bit other worldly! So here early for the MEGA and the NFF - it’s going to be big! TFTC
Bush bashed directly over from Bruce (Springsteen) with Darksidedan to search for this in the dark. Pretty creepy at night, and with the number of hiding places it was difficult to find without the aid of daylight. Took a few passes before it appeared.

Nothing terrifying about this cache! An easy enough find without exact coordinates. TFTC.
I was in the mood for an after work nature park stroll so this little pocket of caches was perfect-along with the cooler weather! I really enjoyed my wander through here today 
Wandered down to this one from the nearby series and like others before me, I was expecting this one to be outside where the GPS was pointing-wrong! The tunnel wasn't too terrifying but I did begin to wonder if I was going to be able to find the cache in the middle of the tunnel with fading afternoon light and no torch! However, as I was backtracking I spied the container in it's hidey hole! Yes! Signed and on my way.
Thanks for the hide, Canberra_bushwalker

I was visiting my mum in hospital this evening (she's much better now) so I thought I'd come and find this cache since it was so nearby. I guess I was expecting a quick find but it wasn't to be. This one had me searching for longer than I had expected. I thought it was at the entrance to the tunnel and started my search there. But no, it wasn't there. I searched a bit in the tunnel. Still nothing. I started reading through some logs and everyone kept saying how easy it was to find Thankfully, I persevered and looked further along in the tunnel. Found it at last! It was much further in than I expected. This is day #186 of my daily cache streak. TFTC
Found with Eldritch and Legocacher whilst on the way to Bruce Ridge. It is a very big underpass compared to the usual Canberra ones. Grabbed a lonely TB to help it on its way. TFTC
Found with Eldritch and Chakram. What a huge tunnel! Certainly wasn't expecting something of this size here. Thanks for bringing me here.
TFTC. Found with legocacher79 and chakram. Thanks for bringing us here. Found a TB too.
Fancy tunnel and woodwork. Followed the GZ and it was not accurate as mentioned in the desc. Thanks to all the comments in the log we went back to the tunnel and managed to find it not too long after.

Well, I am way way behind on my logging... So I decided that being the first day of the new year, it was the ideal time to catch up... Except it's now the second day of the new year...
I remember going on a really nice walk around the Ridge and finding this and a couple of others. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and really that's about all I remember at this stage. It was terrific though. I'll find a photo from the day, which may or may not be near the cache. That'll sort it. Oh, and I think this was a pretty easy find after looking in the wrong place for a while. The GPS failed but I paced it out from where the signal cut out and eventually found it. Yay. My draft log from the time tells me I left a trackable. TFTC

Interesting find - I lost my GPS signal but paced off the metres according to the number showing in my GPS before loosing the signal I know my pace is exactly .75 m. I was accurate within a metre. Thanks bushwalker
On a day off, been planning to pick this one up for a while. Found and replaced. Swapped a pathtag for a coca-cola yoyo. Tftc!
I was a long time tonight waiting in the nearby ER but at least I was able to squeeze finding this cache in. Was a fun experience coming here at night. Hint helped to find it.
Cache in good order
Thank you Canberra_bushwalker for putting the cache out and maintaining it.
My GPS did not work here and I was a bit concerned about the number of potential hiding spots. But I soon signed the log and was on my way. It seems a lot of muggles have signed the walls. TFTC
We don't seem to cache much around town anymore, but we felt like collecting a few today on a lovely sunny winter day, especially some that required a walk. So many times we have driven over this one, on our way somewhere without time to stop. Good to have it found, thanks Canberra Bushwalker.
We knew we were close to the tunnel by the traffic noise, and we could see it well before we could get there, then the steps started to be counted into the tunnel, thanks for the hint, Silvereyes counts better than me! Left a pkt of lego.
Well that was fun. What an interesting place u bought me to. Tftc. Favourite point from me.
JohnnyBoyACT and I went in search of geocaches in Black Mountain Reserve and Bruce Ridge today. The weather was fine although cool and we visited some interesting spots that, despite decades in Canberra, neither of us had ever ventured. In all, I added 19 caches to my tally. This cache was not a straightforward find, the coordinates not being much help in the tunnel, but after much searching we saw the tell-tale indications of a hidden cache. Thank you Canberra_bushwalker for installing and maintaining this cache.
A geocaching jaunt on Black Mountain and Bruce Ridge organised by Kambahkid. Great to pick off a few difficulty 1-2 caches, which is just about all I can manage to find. An excellent time with a true gentleman cacher. Weather not too bad either. However, this cache took us a while to find and cost me a pair of glasses somewhere nearby (only magnifiers, but don't tell my wife). An excellent investment by ACT Government for our wildlife. I hope they use it, rather than crossing the road. TFTC.
Having done one close by with Trodectus, he suggested this on for me as he has already done it. Walked to GZ and after a short search had CIH. Log signed and returned. TFTC
Re-visited this one today after a find on Bruce Ridge ... thanks to all the previous cachers who've left helpful comments in their logs TFTC
Cool place! Had time to kill while waiting at the hospital so went out for this one. Thanks!
