Came to this cache as it was close to where I was visiting. Even brought a replacement container. Felt very exposed. Checked one location and found nothing and didn't want to poke around any longer, so decided to give this a miss. Maybe next time.
Interesting hide, probably wouldn't have wanted to do this one during the day...
Found cache but the lid is busted and full of water - unable to sign log. Tipped out water but the lid is so broken it will probably fill up again before the next finder.
Given the CO hasn't been online for a while someone might have to bring a replacement or get a reviewer to intervene.

Quickly found, but as others have noted - the cache is not in a fit for purpose condition.
I can provide a photo to the CO if needed, as the log is not currently signable.
TFTC!

Ducked out for a spot of night caching with Baristayan, I suspect about two weeks before winter really sets in.
Found this one but the container was full of water, so we couldn’t sign the log. Thanks for the cache!

#3680 One final cache for the day and my goodness it is a wet one. As per most previous logs the container is constantly full of water. Desperately needs some attention.
Slightly uncomfortable as always when it comes to these hides. The logbook is also literally floating in water. I tipped it out but it's not fixing the issue... TFTC
Found this afternoon with geokid, the day after the aforementioned Queen passed away. Unfortunately the lid is broken and the log was too wet to sign. I've sent the CO a picture instead. Thanks for the find
Found, unfortunately the log is wet. The good news is that I could sign. TFTC
After a meeting in Garran I cast my eyes over the map to see if I could get a cache in this part of town. I honed in to one in Yarralumla. It looked like that one had been muggled, so I logged a DNF and again turned to the map. I have looked at this a few time, but always felt uncomfortable looking for caches on someone's property - at night....
However, I decided to at least check it out. Approaching it, I wasn't hopeful as there wasn't a lot of vegetation and the whole front yard looked a bit bare. But, there it was!
It still is quite wet inside. The logbook is waterlogged, but I managed to open one page and wrote - or rather carved - my name into it.
I have seen the queen several times, mainly while living in the UK. I also ran into Lady Di by accident when I was holidaying in Devon a few decades ago. Well, I came upon this crowd that was cheering after she had just opened a leisure centre and afterwards came along the throng of people to say hello.

Found with yooitsjoshua!!! Cache needs some maintenance as the box wasn’t closed properly last time and is full of water
Cool spot tftc! The container had a puddle of water in it though so couldn't log the cache
Found it easily. However was full of water so needs a little maintenance. Thanks for the find!
Couldn’t sign the log as cache is absolutely drenched. Might need some maintenance or a replacement. A quick and easy find though

After picking himself off from a medical appointment this was a very quick find.
Not a huge fan of the placement of this cache but managed to get a quick find, sign and replace without too much drama. Cache container is a little wet and log is damp. Thanks.
I was a bit apprehensive about this one being in the co's front yard, but it was hidden in a place that wasn't too intrusive. TFTC
Easy find with the help of the CO who was about to take his dog for a walk. TFTC rohanji, you pointed us in the right direction.
Enjoyed a Wednesday night out with onieferret while we headed out for a little adventure. TFTC
A night out with K8tybee and newbie Quirky Raven. Nice and easy find. Thank you
With a bit less greenery to work through than expected, The Queen's Wave was proud and prominent.
Nice and easy find, thanks!
Unfortunately the container looks a little broken.
Left a trinket️

Coords are accurate. Just looked everywhere but the actual spot.quite a big container and close to obvious targets.tftc
Quick easy find. Log is wet, and the pen didn't work on it, so I wrote my log as an indent with pen.
Anyway, TFTC.
Anyway, TFTC.
Hmmm, well I placed all the rocks back the way I found them but no luck with the cache today 
Also not keen on rummaging through another's yard. But thanks for the cache.

Enjoyed the short drive from work to this cache. Didn't enjoy rummaging through rohanja's garden...feels strange standing in someone's garden, even if you know they're ok with it! TFTC!
Blundered about a bit in the shrubbery... not too sure about this, when lo and behold the CO pulls into the driveway... pointed in the right direction et voila! TFTC rohanja
Only in canberra for a weekend thought i must get atleast one here in canberra tftc
Had to avoid some muggles, so pretended to take photos of a magpie. TFTC!
Our 100th cache find!!!! 
Very easy cache! The log is however wet (however useable) and the cache was in the open! TFTC rohanja!

Left Port Macquarie heading south to the Mega event At Canberra.
A few days stopping at the EPIC.
Caching with Snakepiters today, we decided to head to Black Mountain to find a few challenge cches that will help to fill a DT grid.
On the way back to the EPIC we stopped at a couple of others that were on our way.
I have seen the Queen pass by but I believe that Lady Di actually waved to me
Thanks for placing this cache rohanja

I had a quick errand to run in Woden & the family had had an early night, so I spent some time picking up more caches.
The phone was sending me in the wrong direction for this one, & I was reluctant to poke around too much, as it was about 11:30pm & I didn't want to startle anyone. In the end, the cache was out in the open & a quick date & sign was made. TFTC!

Not a bad one... note pad a little damp with some water damage... may need to be replaced
TT the geoson found this one. Thanks to the CO for placing and maintaining the cache.
Down from Brisbane to help out while the in-laws are medically out of action & picking up a few smilies as we go.
Great coordinates led to a quick find.
Some condensation in cache, may need a good airing.
Made our mark & replaced as found.
