Nice one. Thanks for the cache. Looks like the Crocs are back in the cabinet.

Nice easy find with Jemalong&family TFTC

A quick find on a lovely Sunday drive. TFTC

Found on a wonderful autumn arvoBuckoraider getting peckish at around 2pmI took him out of the house w no breakfast. Im surprised he hasnt chew off my arm yet.He was nice enough to allow me to stop for one more even if he already had this smiley Ill get on the cooking then, to compensate for the favour Thanks Rapidlywild all looking good with the cache

#4537 After finding some caches in the reserve nearby I moved the vehicle a further 80 or so metres up the road and attempted this one. Cache soon located, logged and replaced. Thanks Rapidlywild.

Well spotted by Grandad. Container is wet and needs attention.

Nice quick find at GZ, thanks for the cache!

Tftc

Found myself driving down this road on my way to chess and figured I might as well grab a cache if the universe allowed…this one fit the bill nicely!

This is a little patch of Canberra I’ve never explored despite living relatively close so I’ll need to come back and check it out more thoroughly one day soon.

Sneaky little hide in amongst the grass that has clearly been lapping up every drop of rain it’s been able to! The cache itself was quite wet, and the log barely signable but it’s just about surviving. Great clue! Thanks for the cache.

Find#3143
Nice hiding place
Thanks for the cache

Tftc very easy but couldn’t sign tho because wet so needs maintanence

Easy find.
Very wet after the rain we have had, so unable to sign unfortunately.

We were about to leave but looked at the hint closely then managed to find it!

Quick to find. TFTC

Out today for a big bike ride. My goal was to complete the Canberra Centennial Trail - Section 7B multi cache. Big ride and actually left at 2 o'clock because we had cousins over so I could only leave when they leave. Well that was a bit of a mistake as this section of the track wasn't exactly easy and ended up taking me about 7 hours. In the end I had to get picked up because it was too dark for me to continue. Got some good caches today while heading down the CCT trail, as well as one that filled a hole in my D/T matrix which is always nice. Great day and thanks to all the cache owners for placing and maintaining their caches so others can find them. TFTC!

THIS CACHE:

Took a bit longer as there weren't as many obvious hiding spots. TFTC Rapidlywild!

Good one

Fast find today whilst out adventuring with K8TYBEE and GLISS! Great to have had a bit of a walk in the reserve tonight. We’ll be back to finish off the multi’s we started! Thanks for the cache.

Love this and really enjoying learning all about Darwin!

Quick find on my way to the tip but the log was soaked. Have replaced container plus new temporary log. All good for now. Tftc

After making the morning commitments I had, I made the trip over to Canberra to attend the ‘20 Year Anniversary and Christmas Event - hosted by Oz Mega Committee’. After my however long trip with included a quick stop off at ‘Gold Creek Macca’s’, I was the first to arrive at the event, other than the hosts. After greeting them and signing the unique log-sheet, again first, I met up with the other attendees as they arrived. From there, the games begun… lots of unique puzzles, repeats of others and of course our train rides. Lots of yummy food from the canteen and a great cake for dessert. It was then time to do some geocaching along the way home. These caches started with the closest to the event and eventually further away. It was then time to hit the road for my trip home. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring me and others enjoyment. TFTE & TFTC’s

Quick find, on the way out from the new cache, lid is broken and log is quite wet. Still signable.

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

Easy find

Straightforward find with the hint, thanks. As others have noted, the lid is cracked and contents are a bit damp.

I stopped to do the nearby Wherigo but was turned away because the area is currently closed after 3pm. I grabbed this one before carrying on.

The lid is broken

Case cracked and log a bit wet.tftc

Easy find with the hint. Tftc

Another weekeend, another map cleanup trip with Aquilus1. After spending many months on puzzles the last few weeks has been all about collecting. My sixth trip up Issac's Ridge, please no one else put up more puzzles here....I met Aquilus1 at the top of Long Gully Road to pick her up and drove back to the other end of the ridge, in O'Malley..... once up on the ridge we only had to come down a few times for caches.

AFter the ridge it was lunch at Erindale, which makes 3 or 4 weekends in a row we have eaten down there.. such variety. Then back down Long Gully Road to Mugga Way to grab a bunch more along the road and in Cullum Brae.

Thanks for all the hides and the the CO's for placing and maintaining.... Noikmeister, Darksidedan, Rapidlywold, Tankengine, Tealby, BatGirl & Winterdragon. Quite a variety of puzzles and hides!

Last NT one for me

The container has a small crack in the lid. The contents wasn't bone dry, but also not that bad given the rain in the last three days. I have put the logbook into a new ziplock bag.


As it's the geocaching birthday weekend with GPS technology turned on to the public 20 years ago today and the first cache hidden 20 years ago tomorrow, I thought I should find a cache today and tomorrow.
After I found a cache in Phillip, I decided I should really do 20 caches over the weekend, 10 today and 10 tomorrow. By the time I got home today I had logged 15, plus 3 DNFs. This one is 5/20.
Lid cracked new bag

found it!

Container was full of water, log ok though
Thanks for the tour!

I made a real hash of this one but once at GZ the cache was quickly found and yes the hint made real sense. It helps if you're on the right side of the fence, though it was probably easier to retrieve from where I was. TFTC TNLN SL

TFTC

I'm chipping away at caches in Calleum Brae so could leave this one unfound. Thanks for the smilie Rapidlywild.

TFTC Rapidlywild. Enjoying this journey.

Another week, some more NT caches. I deliberately came chasing after this one to get my last Emerald for the Mystery at the Museum event. This one was a quick find with the younger geoson in tow. TFTC

Added 2 more NT suburbs to my list of finds today on a long caching adventure.
Thanks for creating this series, and I’ve added it to my list of series’ that I plan to complete!

Another long great day out with woolwood9 hunting containers.

*Big thank you to the cache owners who made our trip fun!*

Found while on a trip away with tmann421, heading to the MEGA in Canberra
Signed as TM/WW NZ
Thanks for the placement

Day 5 Mega Trip
Now at Queanbeyan for the Clear Waters Mega we headed out today with Tassie Trekkersto find a few caches. It is hard to know where to start, there are som many to choose from. As we were heading to another area we spotted this series and collected a few on our way to somewhere else. TFTC

We have arrived at Queanbeyan for the Clear Waters Mega event and targeted some caches with Whitewebbs and this was one of them.

An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Enjoying this series to get me out of the office during my lunchtimes. Big fan of Darwin too. Quick park and grab. Cache in good nick and where expected. Logged and returned. TFTC

Worked with a friend in Darwin - we lived in a blockish flat in Nightcliff. Get u a rainforest surrounded treehouse. All of Darwin is nice. Tftc.

Pulled up only metres away from the cache, quickly jumped out of the car and made my way over to spot the cache fairly quickly. Enjoying the history on the cache pages, lots of suburbs with quite interesting names in Darwin too! A good idea for a series

Thanks!

Chasing suburbs for the suburb challenge. TFTC.

It's International Geocaching Day - so what better way to celebrate it than finding a cache not too far from home. There was a freezing cold wind and drizzly rain today so a quick drive find was just what was needed. Left a lucky Chinese "Year of the Rat" heart shaped token. TFTC 2BluFish

Watch the trucks.

A short walk to find this one when I was on a mission to find the Canberra Centenary Trail. Not so lucky with the trail however as it has been re-routed away from Mugga Lane. But I will have to come back for the rest of this series on a quiet day. TFTC

Survived the dangerous situation, tftc

Found it TFTC

BMXMargo strikes again on the 10th of Feb

Easy find whilst scavenging GCA caches. Thanks for the drive by.

Quick daily find. Dead roo next to the cache

Dty73 had already found this one so she just watched & laughed at my efforts to get the cache back in hiding in between the heavy blocks of traffic. Kutgw

The Monday evening Omnia walk explored Callum Brae Nature Reserve today which gave me the opportunity to find 11 geocaches around Long Gully Road and Mugga Lane on the way there. This cache was a straightforward find, being on the coordinates. Thank you Rapidlywild for installing and maintaining this cache.

Found on a nice sunny afternoonoutwith the family.
A quick park and grab. Tftc

Cache Number 4 found! TFTC

Found by suzella29 on a sunny morning.tftc!

Lucky to have a couple of days in Canberra, so why not make the most of the amazing geocaches on offer! TFTC.

This one is beautifully named! TFTC

A quick stop but then where is it? Hmm, unlike others this did not jump out straight away. All I could see was lots of muggle rubbish. Grab some to do an individual CITO event then as I looked around I literately nearly stepped on this cache. Opps. Thankfully I missed and cache was in tact. Tftc!

Missed this one when I drive down to the tip last time. Stopped in today. TFTC Rapidlywild.

As I continued along Mugga Lane this was my fifth stop. There was plenty of space to pull in safely well off the road here.
It was an interesting spot as there were lots of small birds busily moving around in the trees here in the sun and I spent a couple of minutes watching them before moving to the cache.

Just as I stood there a car stopped right beside me. I couldn't believe it. Was there a problem with me being here? No it wasn't a cop. Was it another cacher? How lucky would that be to meet a local cacher. I looked at the muggle, no just someone typing on their phone so I grabbed the cache and stood there with my back to the muggle while I signed the log then replaced the cache as the muggle drove off. I'm not even sure she saw me.

TFTC # 2014

I've been making many after-work collections lately - this was no exception. Found quickly under torchlight. TFTC RWD

Aquilus1 and I were getting a little wetter as the trail went on. My feet and jeans were soaked from the wet ground. But the car heater was nice. Love the hint! As we parked at this one I giggle when I saw it. TFTC!!!

Out with dty73 looking for some wet weather terrain caches today, and the ones in the area here looked good. With just a slight drizzle from time to time a nice quick park and grab was ideal. Thanks for the cache Rapidlywild, did like the clue for this one!

TFTC

TFTC good clue

After finding about 2 thirds of the ACT 1000 Club we decided the heat was too much and decided to enjoy the geocar's A/C and visit the NT: Suburbs series. All were found easily except for 1DNF. Thank you Rapidlywild for this series.

Visiting Canberra from Brisbane for four days and decided to do as many of the NT series. Apologise for the generic cache, however while in Canberra I am doing quite a large number of caches. With your caches it was enjoyable in locating them. TFTC Rapidlywild

Found as described

Interesting information thank you!

Saturday 3 December 2016 - a hot Summer afternoon walk in the high twenties for approx. 2 hrs finding relief from the heat only when the clouds hid the sun from view. Found 5 from 7 caches today and will be back to find these 2 and others over the next couple of weeks. The grass is so high that it's scary snake country - maybe early morning is best? TFTC Rapidlywild.

After being stuck inside for 2 days (torrential rain!) we decided a nice easy day of caching was in order. We chose Callum Brae and surrounds since we knew the ground would be soggy and didn't want to tackle any big hills today! We had to leave The Woofer at home, but enjoyed the strangely warm weather (both just wearing t-shirts!) and had some fun finds.

Found quickly with no problems. TFTC!

Just down the road from the other one - of course I had to stop for this one too
TFTC - interesting spot - love the sign - lol
I took some arty farty tree/etc photos but unfortunately I didn't get to meet the spider someone else found with the cache (yes I did say UN fortunately - I like spiders

Out and about with CAD - being from Darwin we had this series on our list to complete! The inlaws used to live in Malak! Thanks for the series that reminds us of home

Found on a trip to Queanbeyan with the Bug 8th

A quick find inbetween traffic. TNLNSL TFTC

Quick find but freaked when the resident spider came out with the cache.

Cleaning up the caches around the Callum Brae Nature Reserve. The weather was a bit bleak but was nice and cool for the walk around. Didn't realise I parked so close to this one. TFTC Rapidlywild

Another one found in the Darwin Suburb Series
TFTC

Start of an easy day of caching beginning where we ended last night.

Don't think I could mispronounce this one but good chance. TFTC the series.

#5434 @1748
After walking around, up, down, and over Mt Taylor, I headed home via this series. All but one easily found. TFTC, and helping me learn more about this country.

A few quick finds along the road on my way back into town towards the Monaro.

Last in the series. Thanks Rapidlywild for the series. That's the south side of the city done. Will tackle the north next time we're in town TFTC

Another one done. Yay! I found this as part of a daily streak I am working on - almost 3 months now. The first month wasn't so bad, the 2nd month got harder, and now it's getting more challenging to make sure I don't miss a day.

I love the challenge of the geocache cache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. My new GPS is working great and it has made my geocaching experience so much simplier and more fun.

Thanks go to Rapidlywild for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated. I enjoyed finding this one. This cache was another "Found it" for me. TFTC! Cheers. [Blue]Jump Pilot [/Blue]

Watch out for the rocks

Walked past it twice but found it

Good hide.

Picked up three of this series on the way home from work. Quick and easy fun.

The log book for this one was just sitting in the container, so I added a zip lock bag. Left a black ant. TFTC!

I'm on my way to complete my 1000th cache today - just need a few more. This is one, thanks Rapidlywild.

To nice a day to stay indoors. TFTC.

Another suburb done. TFTC Rapidlywild.
