Old Highway Views Queanbeyan East, New South Wales, Australia
By jaralah3 on 04-Sep-11. Waypoint GC33F7Y

Dropped into a friend's place, and now it's time for a cache or two. Cheers

A quick find after parking up the top and a nice walk down the path. Nice views from here. TFTC

A work colleague needed a lift to pick up her car from a nearby mechanic. I took the opportunity to find todays cache close by. Im giving this a fave point for two reasons: the awesome view and the original log book. There is a crack in the side of the container; I replaced it with that side downwards to prevent any rain getting into it. Thanks for the geocache!

Finally decided to take myself for a short wander to collect these two caches. Made a friend along the way and jumped as another was hanging on to the cache. Luckily I had a tool which helped me lift the cache out of it's resting spot. Thanks for the cache

Found the cache but I think it’s a real guard from back there that scared me this time it was a real one TFTC
SPOILER!

Indeed a great view from here.

Final Day - Day #5 [18-2] of 5 for my trip away. Today is the end of my trip away but I still have two days of leave before reality takes over. The main focus for today’s finds were the newer Labs in Queanbeyan. I also found a few other caches around Canberra, including the ones around the Blundells' Cottage. This is the first time visiting this historic site and better yet, I even got a tour of the lovely building. This was all before heading to the Belconnen mall for lunch and shopping. Afterwards, I headed off to another cache which has been on the to-find-list for far too long. Now it’s time to head home. It’s sad to see it come to the end but I have many new memories for years to come. It was great to use Geocaching as my guide because it took me to many unique places both I already knew about and others I certainly didn’t, until now. My next big Geocaching trip I am looking forward to, is to Rutherglen for the mega. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today for allowing them to bring me and the caching community enjoyment. TFTC’s
P.S. Sorry, about the generic logs. I will endeavour to edit them at some point in the future for the extended story, FP’s and/or photos. This is when I have more time on my hands.

Found It!
A nice little walk up here and a quick find once I got to GZ. Not a bad view either!

Thanks for the cache.
Nice walk. We came at it from the bottom.
What lovely views.
️Team Begerah

It was a great walk and a great view we will be doing more in the future. Thank you geocache for creating this

Omg i loved the view and said hi to the kangaroos was hard but my mum found it and this made my day!!!

So cool!

After a morning riding through the Cuumbeun Nature Reserve, I detoured to Hill Lane before heading back home, and employed the e-TOTT once again to make the transit to and from GZ a breeze.

Cache quickly located and is in good condition. Thanks, jaralah3.

Some nice views of town from here. Travelled along this old road many times in the past. Good to see nature is reclaiming it again. Theres hope for us yet

Found with my mate Ayrton while doing some weeding on the old highway. This road has been long neglected and is now overrun by thickets and jungles of weeds! African lovegrass, Scotch thistle, Verbascum, mustard, dill, blackberry and everything in between! Whacked some and collected a bucket-full to feed to Ayrton's livestock who lives nearby.

Quick find at GZ and we admired the sunset; pic attached. We could smell wafts of a rotting animal and then we heard crunching in the background. A couple of german shepherds were feasting on a rotting kangaroo! Ayrton threw it across the other side of the fence so they wouldn't get sick.

Our thanks to jaralah3!

Nice views - tftc! With Womfox.

No spiders thank goodness!

Muggle daughter the first to this one, Sixpence six being a bit further up the road. All good here, thanku.

Nice views on a sunny Sunday arvo

Worth the walk up, thanks for bringing me here.

Nice hiding place
Thanks for the cache

Nice view

Great view of Quangers. Cache is well maintained, with plenty of space in the log. Interesting to learn a bit about the old King's Highway.

TFTC!

Found this 13/9 but forgot to log Thanks.

Tftc nice walk

Cache 6415 on 24 Aug 2020.

Bobl27 had to head out to QBN to get his car looked at and I was the transport to get him home. So while he was chatting to the mechanic, I headed nearby to grab a few caches for my statistics today. Quick finds all around!

Parked nearby and headed up the hill, a quick heart starter for the morning. Cache found in first place I looked. Great views across to the Brindabellas and the snow capped hills. Dropped in a PT.

Thanks jaralah3 for the cache and the fun!

Found

Such a beautiful spot! Loved it

Great view

Interesting views and lots of memories of the old Kings Highway. Thanks jaralah3

Good spot. We are knowing a lot of our new suburb. Thank you a lot.

I can see my house from all the way up here!!! Well not really....but it's still a nice view! TFTC!

Nice view!

Wonderful views from here! So you can make interesting caches in guards

Top views from up here but very blustery this morning .
Cache found with good co ords .
Thanks for the hide.

I almost missed it as I was focusing on finding a smaller container. TFTH

Out at Queanbeyan for some parts shopping. Once here with the nice weather a few caches where in order.
Quick find, nice cache views, all in good order.

Thank you jaralah3 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Cold as but worth it

The eldest geodaughter and myself had 105 minutes to kill in Queanbeyan while the youngest was at Oliver rehearsals... so why not do a few caches!

We did some suburban parks, some ones along the old highway plus a few here and there. Fun night in the cold

Great views from up here.... its amazing to think the highway was changed so long ago

Replacement container complete

In town for the Mega event at Queanbeyan, today I teamed up with My good mate Roostaman, we began the day doing the lab caches before heading off around town to pick up several caches.

Thanks jaralah3 for the cache.

Out for a few caches with Touchstone 7. This was one of them. Thanks for the cache jaralah3.

Great views. Container lid has a hole in it. Tftc

Needs maintenance

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Nice section of old highway. Fantastic views from here, TNLN thanks.

Whilst the kids study I took to the hill across the way. Up the hill directly from the road, a quick find from there. TNLNSL TFTC

watching the sunset while logging this cache, with some roos grazing behind me. very nice. TFTC!

**# 22906** Found on another perfect Spring caching day with MrsRoosta.
A short trek around south of Bungendore today.
A few good hides and more nice countryside along the way and back again.

a second cache to find as I walked along this trail. retrieved the tb when signing the log before replacing the cache back to its hide. tftc

The view of the industrial reaches of Queanbeyan are really quite impressive from gz. I found myself feeling rather envious of the PV arrays on some of the buildings - they make my home system look a little feeble!
An easy find. Log signed and cache replaced as found.
TFTC, jaralah3

Quite a hike but found easily, not for the faint hearted. Near the road

Nice view and nice cache. There was a big huntsman on the cache, careful.

A great second day of caching in the ACT and Queanbeyan. Today not so much numbers, but lots of fun. After a few local caches in Queanbeyan it was of into the beautiful Molonglo george and then to the event in Queanbeyan before doing the long drive home.

Container needs to be replaced

So more wildlife abound here. After the nearby cache I poked what I thought was a similar clever cache guardian out of the way.... yes, this one was real! And probably annoyed at the early morning tip out of bed. Ah well....dropped a TB

Quick pickup on our way to the coast. TFTC jaralah3.

Found it.. thanks

Made a quick, but careful trek up the hill to find this cache. A nice quiet spot on a Sunday.

TFTC

Now That the mega event has been and gone I can start logging geocaches again. Is amazing just hoe much admin is involved with this game. Fantastic cache.

Glad I sat in the car and waited out the rain shower. Cleared off then walked up, nice views and watched the rain head off into the distance. Container does have a small hole in the lid but all dry and ok otherwise, thanks for the cache.

Working at the airport, so stopped by Queanbeyan on the way home. Climbed up from the cul de sac and found the cache, while admiring the views. TFTC jaralah3

Got it.

Tftc nice walk great hide and nice views

Great view of east QBN. TFTC.

Found it on a cold afternoon. TFTC.

4:50pm 30/5 - it's leg day (apparently), this walk meant no gym needed today . As I was walking towards GZ I thought the guard rail looked relatively new - why didn't I just drive up to it? I wondered. Once I got there I found out. Great views though, picture on it's way.

Another find on our geocaching Easter weekend(Logged as minniek)

Bit of a hike

Found on day two of our Easter geocaching adventure. After a brisk hike up the hill (in thongs with a geokiddie on my back - not ideal). We were rewarded with the find

After taking the hardway we finally got it.

Find 6 on our geocaching weekend. We parked at the bottom of the hill. Maybe not the best plan but we made it.

#3866 - 13:05; I headed out to refuel the geomobile at the airport and decided to keep on going and collect a few caches around Queanbeyan. I had collected the first of five before heading to this one. I parked at the end of a short street at the foot of the hill and made my way onwards and upwards. I was rather pleased on reaching GZ that the old road wasn't still in use, which would have meant I had wasted a bit of time. Checked the most obvious spot, before moving on to make the find nearby. TFTC and the exercise jaralah3

Had to come out this way from Gungahlin to cash in some NSW registration as this is the closest place to do it. Thought I may as well grab this quick one as it was right nearby!

I decided to ditch the owners recommendation and approached from Australis Place since it was MUCH closer to the cache.

I had to go under a fence, and climb a very steep incline which was quite tiring however it worked out well I'm not complaining and think it was worth the shorter distance! Thanks for this cache

Headed out this way again today as we had a client close by coming into the silly season.

Of course we attacked this one from the wrong direction and had the wrong shoes on for the task as well. But we got there in the end.
Quick find at GZ then on our way to find the easiest way back to the car.

TFTC and views jaralah3
Dropped TB

No trackable seen but a good view, thanks.

Tftc. The view from here is awesome, thanks jaralah3, the climb was worth it.

A quick walk up from a close carpark. Was in the last place I looked though easy to see. Cache in good nick but I did have to evict a spider from the region. TFTC jaralah3.

#1162 4 of 5 today.

It was an unseasonably warm winter's day today. Apparently it got to 21C but it was windy. I had a lot of trouble with the GPSr today. I had to reset it 4 times and it was hard to get a good fix. Accuracy was at best 15M. I parked a the bottom of the hill & climbed up the rather steep bank to the old highway. I remember this ! I've been up here more than a few times when it was the road out to Bungendore.

Thanks for the cache jaralah3

A quick stroll up from Cooper Lane. Muggles have found the book and I ripped out a page of obscene grafitti The cache however was fine.. TFTC.

Pleasant stroll up the hill for a quick find. TFTC jaralah3

More Ridge walking for me and Freda, the Ridgeo-pup. I started from Hill Lane and walked down as I thought this would be an easier walk. I was sure I met another cacher walking up the track in a Dr Who Tee-Shirt and smiled and said g'day [8)]. If he was, he didn't sign the log today. TFTC jaralah3

Incredible view ! Loved this one

Beautiful view, just as the sun set!

Such a great view up here
