Found the perfect hiding spot but no cache, as others have attested. Needs replacing
Found today with the wife. Signed the logbook as DSD and BI as most of the logs were getting full. I think that the cache owner should review this series as a lot of the caches are out in the open. Thanks for the series anyway. I enjoyed walking the 15kms through Canberra's southern suburbs collecting the caches that I was missing over the last three weeks.
TFTC. What a lovely collection of caches. Benura and I thoroughly enjoyed the walk (we collected them all sans the Streeton one over three separate trips)
The log book is full to the point of overflowing. Found a small space though to be able to fit a signature. This was an easy park and grab really. The area was quiet with most people either indoors or at work. TFTC Chalk It Up!!!
We decided an easy walk along cycle paths was a good idea this afternoon so we set out with the hound to collect a few caches around this area. All the caches were found fairly easily and we had a fun afternoon. This was the last one for the day. The hound slept all the way home 
. Thanks Chalk It Up 
. Thanks Chalk It Up My friend HappyUke came to Canberra to visit, so we went on a geomission to find a few well loved caches. She was 15 away from her 500th cache, so that the plan - get a stack of favourite caches, and hit a super favourite one for her 15th for the day. It was got hot by mid morning, so we also aimed for caches with not much walking! I grabbed 10 for the day, and it was great to find a few Southside caches I had been meaning to grab for ages - a very successful morning!
eighth of the day. By now, we were getting quite warm, so we needed a couple of extra quick caches to fill in a couple of spots before HappyUke got her 500th. This one was a good park and grab. The log needs replacement though - it is full and we had to sign initials in the margins.
Thanks Chalk it up!

Well Cancon is on... so I must be in Canberra caching with AngelG27, while Finalf29 wargames! I found fifteen and reached my 500 hundredth! Finally the heat became too unbearable for even these two intrepid cachers. Great day, brilliantly clever caches and wonderful company.
This was my twelfth for the day. The day was now HOT! so a quick park and grab. Thankfully found quickly, but the log is full. Thanks

Had been awhile since my last cache, so I decided to head out for an hour and nab a few caches. Thanks for the find
#543 Twenty third of twenty six finds on a days caching around Canberra. Nice quick find. TFTC
Out with Joey Loves Treasure making the most of the last of a lovely long weekend. TFTC. 
Started Geocaching this morning with Little Miss Walking Chair.
This was our very first cache and our very first find!!!
Needs a resupply of the log though (as we found with the others along the same path from this morning).
Added as a favourite due to it being our first find.

Found with The Matrix. Have almost all the 'it up' series now, not many to go....I think. Log full, but found a small small to squeeze us in. TNLNSL TFTC
Another gentle bike ride by an old codger trying to find 1000 caches by the end of the year. Finished most of the Chalk It Up series, plus a few others. TFTC.
Arrived in Canberra and had most of the day free, so what better way on a perfect autumn day than to spend the time geocaching. I was intending to break my 'most caches in a day' record (currently set at 4) by finding 20 caches along this great painters trail, but was having such a good time that I stretched it to 30. Woo-hoo! I really enjoyed this series. Nice walks along pathways beside the canals or lake, and sometimes off path as well. Saw lots of native birds along the way. The accurate co-ordinates and helpful hints meant that, apart from a few exceptions, I was able to walk straight up to the (mostly) tree and see the cache straight away. Most of the logs could be easily extracted, though a few required some effort and one or two I couldn't get out without destroying the logs as they were damp/jammed in. This cache had a swarm of bees right beside it. I was almost about to walk away, but didn't want to miss signing the log, so bravely dived in, signed, then replaced it all without getting stung. Phew. TFTCs and the series
A quick driveby and grab. Lots of bugs at the cache but no problem. TFTC Chalk It Up.
This was a DNF in June 2014, came back to-day and an easy find. TFTC.
A few small critters hang about the cache so a little bit of care needed to not surprise them or you.

Gosh, that was quite difficult to extract from its hidey hole! Got it in the end, signed log and replaced - but not as firmly as it was when I found it! TFTC
Spent the day out on the bike doing most of the UP caches. A nice day with lot of caches found. Parked at the pines and followed the paths from there.
Cache found OK. A little tricky to grab, but got it with a stick.
Thanks

So there I was, a couple of weeks ago, feeling pleased with myself for having done all of the (Artist) It Up series. Then not long before midnight tonight I'm glancing at the geocaching map and there is a little green thing on the map where I thought a smiley face should be. There was no time to be lost and the geovehicle and I made a quick run to Monash. Parking at the end of the nearest cul-de-sac made for a very quick park and grab. TFTC and the series (which I think I am now finished - again)!
F(H)ound it! 4:05pm
My funny cat, who doesn't know how to clean himself (usually has some of last nights dinner on his nose), has been dropped off at the groomers for a wash and a clip. Better that he hates them than me, I reckon. So I've got an hour to walk the dog and find a cache. There were even more muggles at "Streeton" today, kids and parents on the playground. So we gave it a miss again today and grabbed this one instead. Subtly different from most of the others and a great cache hide. TFTC Chalk It Up

I found this as part of a daily streak I am working on. I enjoy the challenge of the hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching. My new GPS is working great and it has really improved my geocaching experience. Thanks go to Chalk It Up for placing this cache and maintaining it. This cache was another "Found it" for me. TFTC!

#621. 204 days in a row.
I'm finally catching up on logging my finds from earlier in the year. I hope I've got all the dates right, but I've definitely found all of these caches and kept my streak going as long as I'm logging.

A great morning to be out and about. I dropped my car at the mechanics and wandered off for a nice walk thinking there is a nice cache trail to keep me busy. Well, the car is ready time to pop off to the Hyperdome and see a movie. A nice series of caches were found along with a great walk. This is what it's all about! Thanks very much Chalk It Up! I'll leave a favourite for all the fun!
I have had my eye on the artist-it-up series for a while, but I wasn't relishing the thought of a day out in the open sun to do it. But today I bit the bullet and loaded up the bike for trip down south. It was above 30 C today with patchy clouds, high humidity and thunderstorms threatening. So it was a sweaty experience. I did a lot of these caches today, so please forgive the cut-and-paste log entries. Tftc series ChalkItUp.
A great day for a bike ride! Unfortunately got sunburnt while doing it, but that was worth the sacrifice! Thanks for putting out this series.

First find along the trail of our bike ride, hoping to find a few today with kvan07
Nice to finally complete this series which we started well over a year ago. TFTC and the series Chalk It Up.
Thought it was about time to Chalk Up this Chalk It Up power trail.
Lovely bicycle ride with Trodectus.

Took our 4 year old for his first find. Lovely and close to home and easy to find. Thanks! Didn't bring a pen so will have to go back
