Taking the "maintenance required" off this listing ahead of imminent archival.

This was a lovely spot (still is, if you ever want to come and sit somewhere relatively undisturbed). The cache referred to the sign that attested to the creek and the area's heritage. Without that, it's still a nice spot, but...

Thanks to my geocaching secretary for the care of this one up until this point in time, as always!

I am amzed how you were able to hide such a big cache here.

Definitely no sign and no sign of a cache either.

Without the sign there may be no reason to visit this spot other than to find a cache...I await my sedretary’s advice...until then I’m taking this one off-line...

Fore!’s geocaching secretary reporting for duty: will have to find a new hiding spot...might take me a couple of weeks to get there...

No sign present here anymore. If the cache was attached to that it is now gone.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Great spot, we were very impressed.

Just me and one dog walker on the trail today. I hear the dogs barking in the distance where we took patches our dog for puppy training. He was an ordinary student

Tftc! Sunday rides in freezing winds.

Found with geodaughter. Enjoying the hike tftx!

Easy find today. The logbook is almost full

TFTC

Finally got around to grabbing this after being replaced. TNLN Thanks for the cache!

Thanks

An easy pickup, though getting the log out proved to be a bit of a challenge.

TFTC. Was keen to keep going and finish this section of track but ran out of time and had to head home. Another day. Cheers

Clever hide. Tftc

Found it. Thank you.

Found it

Cache 2942 on 9/9/17

Decided to head out to collect a few local caches today as it seemed that a lot of my caching recently has been interstate. Had to bring informed geodaughter and geohound along for the walk.

This little row of four caches had been on my to-do list for a while and today was the perfect time to grab them.

Quickly found, cache and log in good shape.

Thanks Fore! for the cache!

It had been just over a month since my last proper geocaching outing apart from a couple quick grabs for souvenirs. I had a day off work and decided to get out and go for a walk and find some caches!

The cache was in great condition and had a nice dry log with it. Good to take a seat on the stone while signing. Thanks for another cache along this path

Nice stop on a early morning run. Tftc

Magnificent day to be out west. ta.

F(H)ound It! #1888 - @12:15 PM

The Ridgeo-pup has a new back-pack and we took it for a test run today. I parked at the pony club and we went for a lovely walk along the horse trail. The RP even got to meet a couple of horses (and she didn't freak out). Thanks for the cache, Fore!.

Ridgeo-pup pic attached:

Spent the day geocaching in the immediate area, walking 14km with muggles and Geo kids in tow. A place to sit and relax, tftc

TFTC. Found with laurenkatelyn

Found with epzccc131

Here fishy fishy. TNLNSL TFTC

Tftc good spot

Sunday 18 December 2016 - another warm Summer's afternoon in the low twenties with an occasional cool breeze. Grasses are very very tall but the paths has been kept clear. Found 6 from 6 caches over 1.5 hours walking around 3 kms. Quick and easy find only once the GPS settled (overhead wires sent it crazy) and when we saw a sign ) Thx MuggleHusband, TFTC Fore!

After a pretty big day yesterday , I had decided to tackle just a few caches closer to home. Today's track was to be along part of the Bicentennial (Equestrian ) Trail. Years ago we used to ride our horses out to Hall on this trail, but the 'Horses too have Gone' and since yesterday's adventure was on shank's pony, I decided to use my bike today. Lifting it over the styles didn't prove any problem and it was a good ride.

Thanks for bringing me here to learn so much about this area. Fascinating! Fantastic! Sat and digested all that I had just learnt then signed the log.
TFTC SL as SG as I often do in small caches.

Another nice sunny day and I was in the mood for some caching-so off I went for a mid afternoon mini mission!

After making the find on the two others nearby, I continued down the trail where it turned into s%#t farm straight....certainly a very stinky waft emanating from the nearby facility! Peeeeewww![xx(][xx(][xx(] Anyway, once I was away from there and could breathe fresh air again, on I wandered to GZ to make the easy find and sign. Interesting spot!

Thanks for the hide, Fore!

#6905 @1745
As I was out this way and there was still enough daylight for a walk, I decided to grab the caches along the Bicentennial trail. Quickly found. TFTC.

Nice place to take in the views. Nice and easy.
TFTC.

Another quicky. Nice view, shame about the smell. Still able to write in the log though. Tftc!!

Nice easy find, TFTC!

Found on a ride around the back of macgregor with Geobabe. TFTC!

Spent ages trying to find this one but didn't seem to find it

We enjoyed reading the information sign, although I wonder how many visitors it gets out here? More great views and the cache was a real drive-by . Thanks Fore!

Forgot a pencil! TFTC.

#1888 8 of 10 today.

I wasn't feeling too good today, so it was fairly late by the time I hit the road for some recovery geocaching. I'd already spent some time out at west Belconnen down towards the sewerage works. This time it was a bit more suburban. It was far from a successful day with a relatively high proportion of DNFs. Some were too good for me today, but others were clearly missing.

Nice.

Thanks for the cache & series Fore!.

Cool hide love it. TFTC

Now that was a lot easier than the last time I was here. No muggles to be seen at all. Arrived at GZ and found the cache in the first place I looked. A nice, new, pristine log to sign - first to re-find. Thank you Fore! and Allrounder for replacing the cache. TFTC

Moved back closer to its original position

My geocaching secretary, allrounder, has replaced this one in a spot closer to its original position and it's only back to being a micro...cache on!

Looks like this one has been muggled again - my geocaching secretary, allrounder, will try to replace it this weekend...

A DNF from me ...

We had a huge day in Canberra with Wilbert67 caching. Managed find all but 3 of our suggested list. I consider that a successful day and the weather was kind to us. Thanks for all the CO for the caches.

On a big day of caching through Canberra today with J+J.AU. Early stat and bikes ready to go. Quit a few hills to conquer today, but it was oh so much fun. Ideal weather conditions and many other outdoor enjoyers along the way made for a fun day! One of very few misses
TFTC Wilbert67

As Wilbert67 mentioned, a BIG DAY out. the weather very kind for us, lots of fun taking alternatively tracks by bikes or walking pending where we were. Unfortunately it was no show here for us.Had lot of fun today even with a couple of DNFs. TFTC

A second DNF from me.... ho-hum. Although this is not actually all that unexpected from a Fore! cache as they do tend to be well hidden. The coords brought me to a location that suited the name and there are limited places to search, but I was looking for a micro and other logs that I see now indicate that I should have been looking for something else. Well....third time's the charm I guess....I'll be back!

Not in any obvious spots, possibly been muggled?!

I was in the area and decided to have a go for this one. I had missed it the last couple of times I had been nearby. As I approached the area, there were other people around, so I took my time. Once they'd moved on I went in. My GPS settled on an area and I started looking. I saw a spot that clearly had once held a squarish object - either the cache, or a brick, or a rock. Looking a little further I found a couple of pieces of broken plastic, one obviously from the lid of a systema. I looked around for any other remains, but apart from a few coloured bits of paper there was nothing. I then noticed that I was being watched by a couple who'd been there before. I decided to move on. To me it looks like it has been muggled, but perhaps I didn't look in the correct spot. I'll try again later and I'll watch for any future finds.

Having identified this as a current target for my dailies I again parked nearby and a short stroll later arrived at GZ. Based off the coordinates there was only one location to search. Log signed and cache returned.

TFTC Fore!

Enjoyed wander, search, found and signed the log. Thanks Fore!

Took TB.

Biggest Micro we ever found
Thanks for the cache!!

T4tc

Found on a walk around West McGregor in the fog. Nice to learn about the history of the area. TFTC.

I love caches that give a bit of history - thank Fore!

This one is awesome! Great location and some cool little gifts inside. Totally forgot a pen tho to sign the log book

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Funny location. Took heart thing dropped rubber ducky!!! TFTC

Tftc as the others said, bigger than expected. Thanks

Great cache and a quick find with the help of Crazy Chicken Man, Crazy Rooster Man and Nate660.
TFTC.

An interesting read and a bit of local history. The cache was a lot bigger than that micro I expected, but that makes the find easier. TFTC

#1211 - 19:25; I finally returned to take the walk along this part of the Centenary Trail tonight to clear the caches along its route. I had previously tried to approach from a different angle, but ran out of time for a serious tilt. The walk today was quite pleasant and the caches were all located pretty quickly. This cache was in good nick and presented no problems. I enjoyed reading the nearby sign providing information about the archaeological significance of the area. TFTC Fore!

TFTC

Straight after the last cache and quickly found this one. Interesting sized micro

Found it after saying hi to all the Ponies!

Saw the ponies including the laughing one.

Pen is missing, but found it!

Maintained again. TrumpyGee went off to find it whilst I sorted through my bag of stuff. Had a great time with TrumpyGee visiting from Vic. Happy geohounds enjoyed the walk.

Clever caching theme names. Had a day to do the 'touristy thing' in Canberra...no way near enough time to visit the sites; Two hours in the War Memorial/Museum and we didn't get past the aviation section! We'll be back to sight see and follow up with some more caching.

Another quick find on our caching afternoon out in this great area for us and the geohound. TFTC Fore!

Final log on this trail which I didn't manage to complete last weekend. Straightforward find and TFTC.

No. 2 of 11 from today.

A nice quick find along the way with Mr Roo, As he had already found the cache he just sat back and watched. Grabbed a TB to move it along


TFTC

Nice easy find on a rainy day. Saw the interesting sign about Aboriginal history. The container was bigger than micro. That made it much easier for me to find it. Dropped off a TB (TB4Y596).
TFTC Fore!!

This was as far around this track that TaurusSix and I walked. I hadn't known of the significance of this place before.

Keeping the dogs entertained on this lovely day was easy. For this cache maintenance I replaced the entire container; it's now a little bigger. New log and swaps in place. All I have to do now is find the whippet kelpie.... Here boy!!!!

Interesting spot which gave some history knowledge!
Had it not been for this I would not have found myself in the area, ah geocaching, how I love you <3.
Ahem..anyway, Easy find once GPS settled down (even though I suspected GZ).

TFTC and the views Fore!

Another one crossed off my 'to catch littleredshoes list'... next time I'm hiding her shoes...
Again, parked as close to GZ as legally possible and 2-footed it from there. It was a change stepping over the gate for a change, lack of hinges and padlocked chains instead probably have a lot to do with it... but who's complaining, the less effort the better
Cool location given the historical/archeological significance too.
TNLN SL TFTC

Officially full log...though room for a squished one or two more if needs be...

Great hide. TFTC

One of eleven caches found this afternoon. TFTC.

The final of the caches along the creek walk for me. TFTC.

Nice hiding spot. Minion 5 found it quickly!

Quick find once i worked out which side of the fence i needed to be on.
Very quite area
Great camo.. Job well done
TFTC

I have been meaning to get around to finding the caches out here for a while (life got in the way for a while) ... figured an art exhibition opening later in the afternoon was a good excuse to ride my bike there, the long way along the horse trail, and find these few caches on the way (I was only 45 minutes late for the exhibiton opening, but I did find the 3 chaches, and sign another one that I had found before but not been able to actually extricate the cache to sign the log. (and I found 5 more in the dark on my way home
This was the 3rd of the 3 ... didn't even know this memorial thingy was here until I came looking for this cache! (I guess that happens when it takes about 13 years to finally get around to coming for a walk/ride down a path that is really not that far from home - although the path probably wasn't even here when I moved to this side of town - lol)
TFTC - love the camo on this one!

Another quick find and happy to sit and take in the view.

with allrounder out and about being her usual proactive self, this cache has been slightly relocated as a consequence of its second muggling in recent-ish times. The new coordinates are courtesy of allrounder's brilliant sechetarial skills! I really ought to triple her wage sometime soon!

Fore!'s geocaching secretary reporting for duty: found this cache intact but thrown over the fence some 30m away. After a discussion with Fore! I have moved it to a position where it hopefully won't be spotted so easily - the new coordinates are added to this log. Fore! will update them officially ASAP...cache on!

A long walk and a good look( I hope) and found nothing. Thanks Fore!

It must be really micro to fit in any of the spots at this location! Certainly beat us.

After a long walk up the trail on a hot afternoon I searched all over but couldn't find the cache. Took a great photo of the geohounds trying to rest in the tiny bit of shade the sign gave. Had to give up and get out of the sun. Interesting place though - might have to come back... TFTC Fore!

Sadly a DNF at the end of a very long walk. Found 3 others on the way though! Another day maybe when it's not so hot. Thinking this one may be gone again...it certainly wasn't any of the snails I moved lol

Found on a nice Remembrance Day with Drumstix1623. We had a DNF on this one before it was muggled, so we came back today to find it. Once at GZ, we spotted it on the ground just lying there, so we put it back where it should've been when we left. Anyway, a fantastic hide and a great area. Thanks Fore!![:o)]
