Searched red hint and understood what I was looking for. But no chewed things to be found around the table. Maybe someone did clean it up.

Owner is not responding to Needs Maintenance logs, owner not logged into Geocaching for 3 months.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Had a quick look around in the most obvious spots but unable to find!

Couldn't find

Not found since May, CO not responding to requests to check if cache is still there.

Can CO please check to see if cache is missing?

Searched a few times with epzccc131. Know what we're looking for thanks to previous pic, can't find anywhere

Can't see anything here??

Spent way to long here, but GZ seemed to be in the middle of the grass. Checked the most obvious spot, seats, but nothing. No muggles on a Sunday afternoon but I assume during a working week muggles staring out of the office Windows would make this one exposed cache to find.

Good find while driving / walking around the area.
Thanks for the fun. LOG FULL

Down in Canberra for the long weekend for a sporting event and also getting some geocaches as well. Was in the area so made a few stops along the way, including a very nice walk around Lake Burley Griffin. TFTH

Thanks for an awesome find!
Don't make the same mistake I did an try to find this before the rugby, you'll get some odd looks.
Also The log needs replacing.

2891 2 of 4 today.

Out with CBRChic for a weekly bit of night caching. Fine warm conditions tonight, but no moon to help us.

This one wasn't on our plan for the evening, but as we were driving pasty anyway .. why not !. Actually I had searched unsuccessfully for this one in the past. No such trouble tonight. Good to finally cross it off.

The log is quite full,

TFTC jocreates.

Log is full and needs replacement.

Nice to get out for a bit of night caching with StrangeTrousers. Been lucky enough to do a bit of this lately.

This one was not on the list but as we were nearby “why not give this one a go” said Strange Trousers. Really enjoyed finding this one.

TFTC jocreates

TFTC- our first of that kind! We forgot our pen but found it anyway.

tftc mate sorry for late logging

Smaller than we thought but we both found it. No pen so we couldn't sign the log. Enjoyed a rest walking to the Raiders game!

Good hint!

Looking for caches after the athletics finished. This was my only miss. Didn't seem amny possibilities and my gps meter didn't zero in on any likely hiding spot or anything that fitted the clue. Must be missing something

Found while working in the area Tftc

Still no find. My phone puts me in the middle of a grassed section. Couldn't see anything last time either but there were too many people to look peoperly. No tweezers anyway so probably no loss.

Found while visiting nearby. Log very full. Needs changing. Tftc

At AIS for the Weetbix Tryathlon. Afterwards, we ventured over to the spot and soon spied the container. Funny. Extracted the log and signed. Certainly a great spot to relax. TFTC

I had an hour to spare before the concert at AIS Arena, so what better to do than go caching, despite the 40 degree heat at 6.30pm!

TFTC

I had a meeting in Bruce and arrived early, giving me time to seek three geocaches. All were straightforward finds. This cache was a few meters away from the GZ and it was fortunate that I had seen a similar camouflage recently, otherwise I may have been tempted to tidy up too! Thank you jocreates for this cleverly concealed cache.

Found quickly on the coldest summers night this year so far. Log overflowing, trying to find a clearing amongst the previous finders took longer than finding the cache. Tftc!!!

The log is full and had previous maintenance logs in September as well as November .

Quick find on a suprisingly cold night. Log is very full but we managed to squeeze 2 more names into a spot that now has 3! Thanks for the cache.

Needed a cache today to shade another day green, so detoured off the gde to grab this one. Easy find and hopefully there was no one inside watching (it was after hours). Log is full so squeezed my initials into a tiny blank spot. TFTC

TFTC jocreates and Curbo.

TFTC
Thought twice about touching this, especially in the dark...
So fun.

Log is full

Awesome log. Tftc.

Thanks for placing the table here to have a rest, and to sign the log. TFTC jocreates

A quick find late enough in the afternoon that hopefully all the offices were empty! Great container, TFTC!

Found quite quickly after trusting my phone instead of instincts, however I couldn't get the cache open, (I have a photo if you would like).

The log is full

F(H)ound It! #1574 - @3:21:00 PM

I have had a couple of lovely walks on the nearby ridges but the weather is worsening so its time for a couple of nice park and grabs. Its nice to have a palce to sit while one signs the log.
I was going to continue caching in the area but the skies opened and the Ridgeo-pup looked so miserable I took her home. Thanks for the cache, jocreates.

Visiting the 31st Annual Rally of the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia, who have currently taken over the EPIC Canberra Showgrounds. Many thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our pleasure. We knew what to look for at this hide but all efforts to locate it resulted in nothing. We were just about to depart when a nice person emerged from the nearby office and gave us a clue - thank you nearby person. The log book is full. Many thanks jocreates.

Greynomads - Bill and Diana TFTC TNLN SL

Most excellent hide!

The coords are bit off, but luckily there are not so many options around. I had a nice rest here when signing the log;-)

The space in logbook is running out. I guess max 4 more cachers and its full

A quick find after dropping off my Son at the athletics track. No one about, except maybe anyone/everyone watching through the windows? TNLNSL TFTC

This is amazing - a favourite. Found on the lucky third time

No luck

With Ariesz dancing on the spot, trying to keep warm on this cool Canberra eve (just above zero degrees) I set about the task of finding the cache. Quick find, signed the log and we hurried back to the car for a tired Ariesz to warm up. TFTC!

Torrevieja and I made a pretty quick find at night. Freezing cold so jogging ok the spot whilst Torrevieja signs the log. Tftc!

Love the camouflage. Excellent hide.

Found on the ground and replaced in a better hiding spot. Forgot some tweezers so we didn't sign it today.

like, ew, sneaky, thanks

Quick find once we were in the right area. It did have a log inside, just difficult to remove. TFTC.

Ok ... Wanted to find my daily cache (keeping a streak going had a spare hour or 2 between work and a sewing evening I go to near work ... been eyeing a few in this area off for a while, and is GZ for a solved puzzle near ... might head over for something ...
Ended up turning in to Fern Hill and parked in some odd, and now empty, little car park, and wandered down to the pond to look fore! one there ... found that, took some photos of the pink sky reflected in the pond and decided it was a good time of night to keep going and find another one or 2 as well ... found that one (first the camo on the ground, then the cache was I stood up from picking up the camo) then figured I would come over here for this one ...
Kind of did a lap around the building while my phone made up its mind where to point me, then looked here and there and high and low ... and all over the closest item to where my phone said to look ... found a weird fungus on the lawn ... had to look close to make sure that wasn't the camo - lol
... looked all over the lawn for what I thought the camo might be ... found none of those ... was wondering if something it was on was now gone ... but was still sure it should be in the likely spot so I had yet another look ... and a bit of a look on the ground around that ... and I spotted it ... not the camo I had in mind ... and obviously not meant to be lying on the ground upside down ... so I sat and signed the log, and pretended I was a school kid and "deposited" it where I hope it was meant to be (I notice it has since been found again, by someone a bit quicker at logging than me

Tftf

It did not have log Tftf

#1151. 143 days in a row.

I headed up to this end of town so I don't clear out my local area too much. From the hint, I knew exactly what I was looking for (since I've found one of these before), but it still took me a couple of minutes to spot it. Fortunately there were no muggles hanging around the table while I was looking. I headed home after signing the log and replacing it where I found it.

This one had me puzzled at first. But once i started scouting around GZ it became clear pretty quickly. TFTC

Found last night while walking the dog. When I saw GZ, I knew what I was looking for, so was quickly retrieved. TFTC!

Staff having lunch were more than helpful. Never seen this kind of hide before.

Tftc. Quick find with no muggles about. Helps when you've seen this sort of container before. A favourite container.

Found after the Try-Athalon with friends Chief Slipy and Chief StarWars. It was very chewy... TFTC!

I was at the AIS today picking up the kid's "tryathlon" kit for the event on Sun. I left myself enough time before meeting a friend for lunch to grab a couple of caches. This was the second of two I found. A quick find. TFTC

Dropping off the missus at AIS at 6.30 am so she can go to the 2016 Australian Jamboree in Sydney. Took the opportunity to do a few caches around the area. Not many people here to-day except for the few hundred scouts in the car park. TFTC.

Coordinates a bit out, so I had to check a few places before finally spotting it. I haven't seen one of these containers in the wild before. Fortunately fairly quiet around here today.

Thanks

TY hard to be discrete with people at work but nice spot

First find for a while! Tftc

The GPS was a little off but I also looked a little too confused and a staff member came to my aid TFTC!

TFTC!

Brilliant, thank you kiwiholz, and spectator

Golly gosh having not seen this b4 it was tricky- of course it makes sense now!

If you hunt for long enough the staff may come out & give you some help!!

Found it after a tour of the AIS. Didn't think we could get the log book back in so didn't log it. Seen this trick before so had it covered.
TFTC. Yowie17

Visiting Canberra from Sydney to find a few of the many caches in the area. A nice little area within the AIS. We were on foot doing some caching and I was thinking what could this one be? Soon found out..nice hide, seen a couple of these before. I have made a couple of special tools to help with the extraction and insertion of these types. Helps a lot as i have big fingers. No special tools required for this one though. TNLN, SL. TFTC jocreates

This was my first of these. TFTC guys!

Lovely little cache

Spiffy- and I were in Canberra for the day and grabbing a few caches. At GZ we headed off in the wrong direction until we checked the GPS and realized it was much closer than we thought. Thanks jocreates and Curbo for the cache.

It had been 2 or 3 months since our last road trip so we thought we should go to the A.C.T. to fulfill a couple of challenges and to complete our 5th state of Australia so we headed off at 5am while doing a couple of interstate multis on the way there and one on the way back. This was day 2 so we decided to do some earth caches, a couple of puzzles, letterboxes and wherigos just for variety.
Fleabag- and I made this our next stop on the drive around Canberra today.
We needed this cache for our dates placed calendar to fill in one of the last days.
Luckily the CEO wasn't in today so we used their parking spot for a couple of minutes. Searched nearby then went to the obvious location and found it straight away. Ewwww.
Thanks jocreates for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Swung by this one on the way home after catching up with friends.

The place was completely deserted so that meant for a quick find. No need to chew this one over!

Thanks for the hide, jocreates

TFTC seen one like this before so knew it was it as soon as I arrived at GZ

That was so cool

Having come across these containers before we knew from the hints what we were looking for. But still took a while to find. Even in the evening there were plenty of people around so we couldn't really switch on the torches. Loki spotted it eventually though. Thanks jocreates

Cache has a new log

Log full . No where to sign. Have photo if required. Thanks for the cache

Quick stop. Lucky im the ceo on sundays. Close parking

A nice quick find on our way to the bus stop after the AIS Tour. Thanks for the hide. A good spot to rest our legs too. Thanks jocreates.

Thanks for this one, clever hide. McLookers spotted it first. Found after the AIS Tour. The log is full. We signed in No 12 square.

Yay first geo found the other day before I upgraded to premium

We chewed on this for a while, till we found it! Needs new log. TFTC.

It was Awesome cache everyone

Sorry log is full.

#4615 @2215
My last chore for the evening was to find a cache for the day. This looked like an ok one to do and not too far away. I parked in the CEO's spot while I headed to GZ. Cache soon found - recognised immediately as I've seen these before. The log is now full. TFTC

Excellent camouflage. East grab even on a busy Weetbix TRYathlon weekend.
Only 1 space left in the log

Like others I wandered around for quite a while before deciding to check out the most appropriate spot and of course there it was. SL TFTC jocreates

Nice.

Thanks! Not what we were expecting!

Found it! Gross!

Took a while, but great find! Didn't have a writing utensil, so I'll just log it here
