I think the game is up on this one and its time to find a new place in the area. Was fun while it lasted. Over 40 favorite points. Like it!
 
29-May-18
Bother!#$*
Cache has gone again?!

Looks like rhe game is up for this one. Will be disabling soon.
 
26-May-18
Three big boulders and a sign, but no cache. Must be very micro so invisible to the naked eyes?!
 
25-May-18
Geocache replaced a week ago. Slightly different design as i did not have the parts any more.
Still in the same place.
 
25-May-18
Cache checked again tonight and still in place. All good to go.
 
06-May-18
Cache is missing again. It's seems like it may have been discovered. Will have a think about what to do.

07-Feb-18
Cache replaced and all good to go.
I replaced this back in early January but forgot to update the status.
Checked again yesterday and still OK.
Happy caching.
 
07-Feb-18
All good to go.
 
03-Jan-18
Cache has been removed. Lid is missing and contents dropped down the pole. Not sure if they will be retrievable. It will take me a week or so to repair the cache
 
31-Dec-17
Looks like there is a problem. Out of town today but back tommorow. Will check then
 
31-Dec-17
Nice clever hide! But unfortunately cache container has been broken as previous log indicated so no log inside. TFTC
 
31-Dec-17
Really good hide - but the lid has come off and there is no log to sign. Tftc!
 
30-Dec-17
Quick and easy find but the lid has come off so the actual cache is empty. May need some maintenance
 
18-Nov-17
Cool first geocache for us, took a couple of trips to find but well worth it. Had to take some tips from earlier logs to find it though, really well placed. Credit to 2 Leg Drive for the cache, it's got my 4yo daughter hooked!
 
16-Nov-17
Thank you! Hard to find but great
 
15-Nov-17
I set out with my geo-kid to search through Duffy caches today. Arrived at this one and assumed it had to be somewhere better then hidden with rocks due to the favourite points.
Glanced around and noticed it almost immediately as the top part was sitting slightly off centre.
What a fantastic cache. You've done well to blend it into the environment.

Tftc.
 
01-Nov-17
Tftc. Looked low, looked some more and finally looked at the right height and spotted the clever cache.
 
06-Oct-17
Nice one well executed! Staying in the Duffy scouthall for the night as we are doing the centennery trail

Got it great spot
 
27-Sep-17
Quick find and a clever modification of an old theme. Tftc. Travel bug remains here
 
26-Sep-17
We walked up to this and assumed it was going to be super easy... how wrong I was. After 2 minutes we had exhausted all possible places a 'small' container could possibly be and we started casting our eye further afield. I was just walking away when I finally saw something amiss.... not hugely amiss but odd all the same, and out came a pretty large container. Great place for it! Left a dog tag
 
23-Sep-17
Nice find on a quiet Sat morning .
Co ords a little bit out but not too much .
Great hide and construction.
Many thanks for the cache placement and work from 2 leg drive.
 
15-Jul-17
I love it when the cache owners make their own cache to blend in with wherever it is being hid! This one was one of those kind of caches, love it!
 
14-Jul-17
A quick detour on the way out from visiting Cotter Dam. Nice hide. TFTC!
Cheers,

12-Jul-17
Easy find after reading comments. Love it! Smile
 
27-Jun-17
I was out helping D with some maintenance. It turned out that I had already found the potential caches he'd chosen for us. So I let him go for one of those and then we came here for me to find one. Once at GZ the hide was soon found. TFTC.
 
26-Jun-17
Cunning GZ very ingenious.
 
24-Jun-17
Very cool!!! TFTC
 
13-May-17
Today we travelled to Canberra with a couple of caches in out to do list. We achieved those and more. The weather was perfect.
We managed to collect several different types on the day. Thanks to all the Co for placing these caches here for all to enjoy. TFTC
 
28-Apr-17
Been said before, but WONDERFUL HIDE.....! Scratched around the obvious spot, but then a burst of curiosity and I had the cache in hand. Glad I didn't read the previous logs for this one. If you are tempted.......don't spoil the surprise.
 
23-Apr-17
Thanks for the posts! We would be still looking otherwise
 
14-Apr-17
Did some urban caches in this area on Easter Friday morning. Quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache 2 Leg Drive
 
19-Jan-17
This was one of six caches that I found in the Duffy area after the conclusion of this morning's Pedal Power ride. Finding this cache was straightforward, assisted by clues in earlier logs. It is a very clever hide. Thank you 2 Leg Drive for the cache.

Found before but visiting again with Miss 9.
TFTC!
 
30-Dec-16
A nice find on the second last day of the year, as I went out with the Geomum to tick off some suburbs we haven't cached in yet, and to round off the year with some caching. Found 7 of 7.
What a cool cache! Had us scratching our heads for a good 10 minutes, checking and re-checking every single hiding spot we could think of. Eventually, the GeoMum came up with the goods.
Thanks for the different and interesting cache 2 leg drive!

01-Dec-16
Found quickly on a warm night out with Aquilus1. Love the effort for this one. Favourite point for something different. Glad I got to do a great one for my #500th smiley!! Tftc!!!
 
01-Dec-16
When the usual spots didn't show the cache this spot led to a quick find. A well made and well hidden cache. Left geo coin to continue its travels from here. TFTC I did like this.
 
20-Aug-16
After dropping off teens at the nearby scout hall, there was an opportunity to stop in at the shops. It was cold, dark and windy - a perfect situation for muggle free searching. Found the well placed cache after a few moments. Returned to the lit area and under cover from the light rain to sign the log.
Thanks for the great cache 2 Leg Drive.
Cheers

[The clues helped, like the clever container and it being high and] the sign[. Would have been hopeless without them. TFTC!]
 
31-Jul-16
It was a weekend to earn a geocaching souvenir. We needed to find one that had at least 10 favourites, and this was the one we chose. The area was quiet today and so we were able to make a very quick find of a cache which has been beautifully put together, and well hidden. We've added another favourite to it as well.
Thanks

#1266. 240 days in a row.

I'd come by here on a previous day, but there was someone emptying cans out into the garden nearby at the time so I hadn't been willing to search. I came back tonight (well after dark) to have another look and there was nobody around.

I started off with checking the place I'd thought the cache might be hidden when I was here earlier, but that was not the right place. I then started checking alternative locations and quickly found it. Log was signed and cache returned. Then I headed home to do some baking for a work morning tea...
 
26-Jul-16
Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of an exceptionally well designed and constructed cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 2_Leg_drive for the cache - it earns a favourite from us too.
 
14-Jul-16
Neat cache! Very discrete and well put together. An enjoyable find. Thanks, 2 leg drive! Big Grin
 
24-Jun-16
In the area. A quick find to get my daily. Clever hide. TFTC 2 Leg Drive
 
15-Jun-16
A great cache. A quick late evening find to ensure muggle free and to keep up the daily find. Tftc
 
29-May-16
Very clever spot! TFTC Smile
 
28-May-16
We thought we'd grab this one while in the area, and spent a bit of time looking around the rocks. Surely they must have something to do with the hide? Ah ha, THAT'S what they're there for!! An ingenious hide, and a favourite from us. Smile
 
21-May-16
I am a bit behind in my logs so I am playing catch up. Cache found as part of 4as1.

This was our 2nd attempt at this one and this time without anyone watching us we were able to make the find
 
21-May-16
I am a bit behind in my logs so I am playing catch up. Cache found as part of 4as1.

Attempt 2 but we finally got it
 
21-May-16
Playing a little bit of catch up on my logs. Found as part of 4as1. Found while we were at the nearby Scout hall for leader training. This was our 2nd visit to this one as our first visit was interrupted by some shady looking characters
 
21-May-16
Up here for my 2nd try to find this cache. (First time I was stopped when two dodgy lads kept staring.)

Great hide!! Part of our daily cache grind.
(belated because I'm a slacker only just logging my haul of caches.)

Thanks for this one. Found on the day with my family 4as1 team.

Thanks

What a cool container! Tftc!
 
06-May-16
Great piece of engineering, thanks
 
15-Apr-16
This was a very clever hide, and not very easily accessible unless you happen to be tall. Thanks to Loci612 for the clue (if accidental) and 2legdrive for the cache
 
14-Apr-16
Found it! Shame some people have to ruin it for others..
 
27-Mar-16
Apologies for the late log, TFTC. Really great hide!!
 
27-Mar-16
The place was dead on Easter Sunday, not surprising as it doesn't look like the nicest place ever to spend Easter!

The find was made quickly after I saw a tell-tale clue. This was a very clever hide Smile We were surprised it was placed on a Future Development sign though..... because that means its temporary and the sign will eventually be taken down?

Oh well thanks 2 Leg Drive!
 
12-Mar-16
Catching up on logging finds. Wasn't registered at the of time cache find, but my Dad who I was with was. TFTC
 
12-Mar-16
Third time lucky. Well, I wouldn't say lucky. Thanks to help. TNLNSL TFTC
 
17-Jan-16
This one stumped me for a while, as I spent 10 minutes rooting around in the "obvious spot". Read a few logs, had an "I wonder" moment and soon had the CIH.
 
15-Jan-16
A nicely satisfying find. I had to loiter for a little while as a parked-up muggle chatted on the phone. After a time she headed off into the shop, so I pounced. A couple of minutes in (obviously) not quite the right spot, then I had a thought and spotted something that supported that thought. Very clever and very nicely executed - yeah, you can have another favourite point Smile TFTC!!
 
03-Jan-16
Well the seasonal decoy certainly had us going for a while! Very confused and the rain had started but Pagan managed to keep his wits about him and search the not so seasonal spots and find the cache. Thanks 2 Leg Drive Big Grin
 
06-Dec-15
F(H)ound it! 12:40pm

Terrific hide!!! Big GrinBig Grin The number of (well-earned) favourites bestowed on this cache is actually a good hint to what I should expect. I was worried I might be a bit exposed while searching for it but GZ is nicely secluded. Even though its a sleepy Sunday there seems to be a bit of socialising going on at the shops. Thanks for the cache 2 Leg Drive
...Oh and a bonus, I recorded a trackable car sticker on my way here Big Grin

Ridgeo-pup pic attached (I really must clean the cheesy dog treat smears off my camera lens):

Called in here for refreshments after the NRL trail and had a look for this cache. Didn't take too long to spot something and find the cleverly hidden cache. Nice one.

Thanks

#1170 2 of 8 today.

It was a perfect Spring day today. Warm, windless & a joy to be outdoors. Due to other commitments I can only ever get about 1/2 a day's caching in on Saturdays, but with the daylight hours lengthening it's still well worth it.

The plan today was to head down to Tidbinbilla & grab a few caches near the tracking station. I thought I was all prepared, but as I drove along Paddy's River Rd I noticed I could not see any of the caches I'd loaded into my Garmin. I pulled over & had a closer check and yep - nothing. Turn around & head back. No cellular reception out here. No point continuing.

I pulled into Duffy & decided to try a few drive by caches using the mobile phone & eventually moved out to Cooleman Ridge. It was too nice a day to leave empty handed. Well the views from Cooleman Ridge were spectacular. I thoroughly enjoyed the few hours I spent out here.

I was a bit surprised by this one. A bit bigger than a micro ! Great container & concept.

Thanks for the cache 2 Leg Drive

After not collecting a nearby cache as it was exactly the wrong time of day for it, decided to have a go at this one. There was not many options at GZ so was quick to retrieve it. Nicely made container and neat hide thanks 2 leg drive. Looks like the hide will be there for a while! Fav from me Smile
 
09-Jul-15
Nice hide there, took me a few mins but worked it out Smile TFTC!
 
29-Jun-15
A beautiful winter morning in Canberra. This was a quick find. Like the hide, a favourite for me. Thanks 2 Leg Drive
 
22-Jun-15
With all the favourite points I figured this would be a tricky hide and with that in mind I found this quickly. Love it, I really appreciate it when CO's go to the effort of making their own little contraptions. TFTC 2 Leg Drive and another fav point from me.
 
07-Jun-15
After missing an attempt at the nearby action series cache due to lack of light i came past this one. Used to work at a computer shop here many years back and was great to visit this area again for other reasons. Searched around GZ for quite a bit before the penny dropped and the hiding spot was staring me in the face Razz

TFTC 2 Leg Drive, Excellent hide gets a fave from me Smile
 
26-Apr-15
Very neat hide, stopped by after visiting the Bushfire Memorial. It will be interesting to see how the future develops for this one. TFTC.
 
17-Apr-15
Wet day today
 
A well hidden & crafted cache indeed! Stopped off to get great coffee nearby!
Didn't sign as cache cam wasVERY fragile.

After tonight's street orienteering in Duffy, I headed for this cache being the nearest. I didn't find it in the first place I looked. I stood back to ponder, and had a hunch that proved correct. A well hidden & crafted cache that deserves a favourite. TFTC.

Admired your create so neat/job. Signed the log. Thanks 2 Leg Drive
