We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! Now discovered it's been Archived - guess it pays to update the PQ's more regurarily!

Thanks anyway to VikingOlly for bringing us to this location.

Found it

Another stressful day at work washed away with a bit of caching. The Ridgeo-pup is not such great urban camo here, though, a dog seems strangely out of place . Great spot for plane watching.

Find seemed very easy to me, I'm not sure it is still in the original spot, but I replaced exactly as I found it, perhaps CO should check. The log is very nearly full so I stuffed a new one (there was room for two) in there also.

But of an obscure location for a bike shelter, but I guess someone who takes the effort to cycle to work won't complain of the 200m+ walk to the nearest building! TFTC, an easy find

Found with sacada. Now have my own login. TFTC.

Tried to find this some months ago but couldn't after a long search. Easy find today. I think it has moved in the meantime. TFTC VikingOlly.

Sorry I found this one a little while ago and forgot to log it so now I'm having to play catch up with all my logs (well Mummy is TFTC Found with Scruffyblake, The S's and Charli_Bear

A quick easy find some months ago while out for the afternoon with Geo-father. FTFC

Afternoon caching with Mosaic1212 around the airport. Easy find SL TFTC TNLN

Nice quick drive by on my way home. Parked and managed to walk straight to the cache

TFTC VikingOlly

Today my grandad and I did all the caches around the airport. Luckily we found a parking spot (it was Tuesday at lunch time) and wandered over to this one. We arrived at GZ and I was fairly confident that we were in the right area. The hint confused us a bit, but after 10 minutes we found the cache. There were 3 cache guardians all sharing the same web (I think they are orb weavers of some sort).

Our thanks to VikingOlly!

[red]My humble apologies for the late log...[/red]

After living away from home for 6 months, I have managed to find all my caching associated paperwork / notes & photo's so I can (finally) log all my finds... [B)]

My sincerest thanks to all the cache owners for their hides & all the effort gone into them & I'm sorry for the generic log... I have seen many beautiful area's that I would not of seen or experience if not for your hides...
Thanks for bringing me here and for the cache... Found this whilst House Sitting in Queanbeyan... Found this today with Warrior99 (son) as we looked around the area...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Dipped TB's...

Started up, then went down. Wandered around before going sideways and it finally came into view. Well done, an interesting location and a simple but effective hide.

While waiting for a flight to Sydney I had some time to spare and thought I'd grab a couple of quick caches within walking distance. This one was a hard find as it was very well hidden. Not so sure about the clue as I thought, given the clue, that the cache would be higher up but it wasn't to be. Took about 30 minutes to locate as it was very well hidden. CO might want to check the location of the cache as it was about 5mt from the GZ. No TBs in cache and way to small for any big drops or swaps. Logbook is dry. SL TFTH TFTC. Replaced cache exactly as found and will email CO to verify location. Awesome spot for a cache anyway. About 600 or so walking metres from the airport. Thanks VikingOlly. Fav point awarded because it was so hard to find and a great spot.

This find took a lot longer than it should have! I spent about half an hour combing every magnetic bit of the subject with no luck. It took me going upstairs in exasperation to find the quite obvious cache. Can't believe I didn't spot that.

Cache has probably fallen from proper GZ, as climbing was definitely not required.

TFTC

A quick find. Tftc

This seems like an odd place to put a bike shed.

This was my 3rd attempt at this one, with no success. It continues to elude me for some reason.

Maybe I need so new Geocaching glasses.

Thanks VO for the hunt.

On a mission to reach 500 with Geopals, Snickersallan and Fit02

Nice quick find with geo buddies, TFTC

Quick find. Tftc

Nice day for a stroll around the airport, it's a surprisingly quiet place sometimes!

Nice easy one to find during linch

Fairly easy but someone had not hidden the cache well. Redid den but still not too difficult .

2nd attempt at this one, and we had it in about 2 minutes. Surely we looked there last time?

Nice to earn a smiley for this one and complete the series by the airport. Thanks VO for the cache, and for the fun views at GZ.

Third time lucky

Great day out for caching - enjoyed the travelling with geofriends. Thanks for the caches around here. ★★

found it with geofriends. TFTC

Quick and easy find with geocachers. TFTC. [:-)]

My second attempts - come back with group, Dragon 82 found the cache... signed the log. Thanks VikingOlly.

Great day finding this caches with Geofriends TFTC.

Follow your instruction yet - couldn't see any cache there. so DNF for me.

Watch Listing.

Searched for quite a while for this one but no luck today.

Thanks VikingOlly, We'll try again soon!

Had a look up down everywhere but nothing

I looked up and down and sideways and otherways and not once did I spot a cache. TaurusSix did likewise with no better success.

Quick grab waiting for geowife to finish work in nearby building TFTC

Last find with my man Genghicat before heading to the airport to fly home.

Quick spotting by Genghicat & we had it in hand

TFTC

Last for the day and thanks to previous logs quickly had the cache in hand.

TFTC.

Found by walking goads but I was with her! Beginners luck I say!

Found my second one. A bit tricky but I'm hooked. Thanks

Found on a trip to Canberra

Good hide. TFTC

No found

I was within 2 metres at the start and still took me 20 mins
Would have missed it if not for the geocache sticker

This one took some time - but after a about 20 mins finally found it - TFTC - good no one way around and I am sure it must have looked funny !

Top hide!! Knightech found this one after much poking about. Very well done. The dogs enjoyed it, except for where Knightech and I were standing around in funny poses peering at things!!! TFTC.

We love this bike locker and had no idea that it was here, its a great idea to encourage more riding to work. What we didn't love so much was a very very big spider, luckily he was on the other side of the fence but we still kept an eye on him while we looked around. Sunday morning is definitely the time for caching around here. TNLNSL TFTC

After doing some "shopping" with specimenX, we decided to swing past here to get my cache of the day. We made this into a mini mission as specimenX had not collected the caches within this area.

On arrival, we found a park in a 2 hour parking zone and wandered over. I have attempted this one a couple times, but I have been looking for something of a different size. This time however, specimenX got the right angle and soon had the cache in hand.

Logging duties performed, cache returned and we headed off for a couple more in the vacinity.

Thanks for the cache VikingOlly

RW and I decided to swing by this one on the way back from a shopping trip. Saturday afternoon is a great time to do this one-the place was deserted!

Parked the car in the deserted car spots over the road, strolled over and it was on with the search. We looked in a few spots that would fit the listed container size, but once we figured out 'small' must mean 'micro' we came up with the sneaky hide.

Thanks for the hide, VikingOlly

Parked across the road and walked over. Not a soul in sight today & no bikes in the shed. Didn't take too long to find, thanks to the hint. 12th of 16 finds today (no DNF's !) SL TFTC

7:36:00 PM:
No luck finding this cache. despite some hints from a previous hider.
it was raining quiet a bit by now so not sure it I search every where but not in the place I was expecting anyway...

This one was a bit of a test. Grabbing some caches in the area with J+J.au.
Fantastic weather for our leisurely cache hunt as we enjoy the geocaching tour and challenges. SL..TFTC

Took some time but we got thee, had the place to ourselves, well hidden . TFTC

Looked up and down for this one but no luck today. Will have another go when we pick up the wife from the airport.

Found with EdenDanny on a Sunday afternoon adventure around the airport precinct. Took us WAY too long to find this one, looking up, looking down, looking through, etc. We were just about to give up when one of us just got the right angle to spot the container.
TNLN, TFTC.

found with CSfamily. So much rubbish around that hampered the search, previous logs had us very stumped about being able to see from above, (only if you had xray vision). took us a while but finally found it

tftc

Found this one while out on a dinner, drinks and caching night with the girls. Dmuggle, Kjsunshine and I decided a lovely bush walk would be perfect to burn those calories accumulated at dinner and completed the planet series nearby.

After that series (now 11pm) Dmuggle thought that some stealth caches might be needed to complete the night. This area is a little more spooky at night than the bush! Dmuggle made the find (the hint came in very handy) and we did not have to worry too much about muggles! There is nobody about.

TFTC

This one also took ages. I went up first and then realised I should be down with only slight bits of up involved. GPSr wasn't really settling and had me looking all over the shop....or car park as the case may be. As I trolled around semi climbing structures in the dark with a torch I wondered briefly what on earth I would say if I got caught at GZ...."Honestly officer! I'm not a terrorist....who terrorises people with a spaniel??" (Elvis is the least terrifying of all dogs on the planet.)

I was actually about to de-bunk and call a DNF and had started to wander off when I suddenly realised what the title meant (going to blame that on the 3 gym classes I did today), so headed back for one more quick look and bingo.... cache found. Whew!

Almost straight to the cache just as a virgin plane landed

Birds at this time of year- Willy Wagtail near the cache then a magpie on the way back [xx(]. Anyway, at GZ after a short search I came up with the goods. TFTC!

It was a public holiday today so hardly any muggles around to disturb the search. Quickly found and log signed.
TFTC

Not really knowing what I was looking for, I dutifully arrived at the bottom and looked around. Aha, that's easy to grab, no climbing required! A plane rumbled past on the tarmac as I was retrieving the cache, so I waved at them... Arrgh, I hate it when people put the logbook into these containers backwards. It takes ages to try and extract it when it's like that . I should have brought tweezers.

TNLN - Thanks VikingOlly!

Found after a short search. I was able to spot it once I'd found GZ. I was side-tracked by a large AFP propeller machine that was taking off... TFTC

7240. [green]I had to visit ESA today and with ZZ7 in the car decided to stop and grab this one. No wonder I didn't find it last time as my GPSr had me in the corner on the top level - a good distance away. So a quick find and we off back to work [/green]

[blue]Thanks for the cache VikingOlly and the rotary. [/blue]

Found with qbngeek
TFTC

Tricky find. Tftc

Yeah took an hour to find this cache. Bad gps lol

Took a lot longer than it should have! Even with several of us looking. Tftc .

A new job near the airport, so a new group of caches nearby. A fairly quick pickup after work - luckily this part of the car park is quiet! TFTC!

Our find for the day, within 200m of my office. I knew there were a couple nearby but had never looked closely enough to see just how close. That leaves one for tomorrow! Thanks VikingOlly.

Haha very cool need to clime

Nice hide. Made geokid collect this one! Agree with previous finders put the staples in last or they stick on the magnet!!!!

nice sneaky hide while collecting caches in the area, but had the cache in hand with with great gps coverage.TFTC

Another find for the day.

Took quite a bit of hunting and the clue only helped in hindsight. GPS did put us right on it though.

Quick easy find TFTC.

My GPS tried to put me ten mtrs out onto the runway. So a quick look around but to no avail. I will be back. Thanks Viking0lly

This one was so tricky. It took us ages as it wasn't where the GPS took us! TFTC

632. I was under a time constraint is my excuse. Lame I know but it's all I've got.

Quick find after a meeting out here. Tftc

Found these caches with my family. we spent the day walking around and driving around the airport. It was so much fun, I love watching planes! TFTC!

Found with the family on a rainy caching day, we had heaps of fun watching the planes. TFTC!

A little searching required but with the great cache hunter Wasptor we quickly had it hand. Took some time out to watch the planes too! TFTC!

2013: 180 Days In A Row - Headed out to the airport to pick up a few caches today. The weather played up for us a bit, but we managed to pick up a few caches. This one had us going in circles for a bit, and the GPS had us over at another location. But with a bit of searching we came up with the find. TFTC

had to look up a bit. tftc

Took abit of a hunt, but soon found by O319. TFTC

Found with Justjessie, don't put the log book in the wrong way as it is near impossible to get back out. The staples spine needs to be at the lid end!

Found it after looking down through a railing from the upper floor. However reaching it was another story as this cacher is very short lol

Last of four caches found with Secret Squirrel today. We initially headed out to do some cache maintainance then managed a bit of time to find a few on the way home in the rain.

Always a good day to be with CT caching
Autumn trees were awesome around here esp when wet and orange

After dropping off someone at the airport thought would do a couple of caches in the business area as beeiong Sunday would be quiet, spotted after a bit of a search. Thanks

Out for a lunchtime stroll. TFTC.

Took a bit of up and down but M eventually spotted the critter for a grab and tab.
