Love the name of this cache! Very clever.Found the little grotto and managed to add my name but the logbook has certainly seen better days. Plenty of roos up here also admiring the views. Nice spotthanks!

Logbook is a mouldy mess, it should be replaced soon.

Found while out for a walk, introducing a friend to geocaching. As this was a premium, I decided to go for it anyway. We were returning from finding a nearby cache and we took the detour to this one. Once at GZ we quickly spotted the hide. The log is a mess and is getting mouldy; it should be replaced soon. Log signed and all replaced and we headed on our way. TFTC.

Quick find. Didn't want to touch as I think it mouldy and probably carrying the a new Covid-20 variant

Lots of random nice views had a muggle dog wanting to come in this mini adventure with me to find this cache.

#4407 Checked the map while in the area. No worries spotting this one. TFTC.

Easy find

FOUND IT!
Log book needs to be renewed since it’s a little bit dirty but lovely cache coordinates are a bit off but very nice cache
TFTC

Cache is not in the best shape, but still signable

Nice found here while doing a new, 'spooky' ADV lab in the area! TFTC

Coords were exact and exactly were I thought it would be.

Unableto sign logbook wet. Dried out as best I could needs attention. Thanks for the cache. See photo attached

A focus area for some after hours caching while in the ACT for work. A short walk, wee scramble and a scout around, the container was spotted and log retrieved for business. Name etched, everything returned as found, I headed up the hill for one more before moving on.

Cheers qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms & timmy_3112.

Quick find, at the end of my little hike and before I called back the uber to the street nearby this cache. Took TB.

Thank you qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms, timmy_3112 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Big day in Queanbeyan, sunny and losts of interesting caches. TFTC

Great views! Log needs attention as it’s only just sign-able. Maybe it will dry out? TFTC

Found but log is pretty wet. I still managed to write my name in. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache qbncachers

Found it straight away but tftc!

A windy, very Autumnal-feeling day was a perfect time to tackle the Cuumbeun Nature Reserve. Since the Ellerton Drive extension has been built, access from the western approach is tricky or discouraged (a lot of private property signs around, but not so sure that it really is...), so I elected to park at the soccer field at Wright Park and take the e-TOTT.

I went south and then northwest along the Old Sydney Road and then the Queanbeyan Fire Trail, to essentially describe a 'V' shape before heading back the way I came. 22.43km return from Wright Park to Microwave Mineshaft and back to the car over a few hours. The trails here remind me a lot of the Bullen Range - loose gravel, and extremely steep ups and downs. Enormous fun.

This cache was quickly located, and is in good condition.

Thanks, qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms, timmy_3112.

We may have looked a bit suss, being late late in the day & wandering off into the bushes...

There were a few folks on the field but we made the find out of their view, then returned to check out the sports stand. Although not having been in the area before, something was vaguely familiar about the place. Up on the sports stand I was vaguely reminded of sports fields and scenes from North American films. "Election" (1999) vaguely came to mind with one character sitting above watching a sports match.

On driving out, we spotted the title reference & groaned. Thanks to a standup comedy routine, I can't help but think of an overweight guy collapsed on the toilet floor. Kids... don't do drugs!

TFTC. Log was damp, probably not helped by not being in a ziplock bag inside the cache container.

Bit of a scrabble, but got there in the end. Nice outlook across the town.
Cache a little wet, poured out as best I could. thanks for the fun.

Thanks for a fun arvo

Found it with geocousins! TFTC

Tftc

Nice view!

The co-ords were a little bit out on the GPS but nothing like the phone! The 'Smart' thing had me 14,096km from the cache which I thought was stretching it a bit - ha ha. Did what all good Techos do, switched it off then back on - presto. All good. Thanks for this cache, safe and dry.

Found it!

Nice cache

TFTC

Found on a lovely Sunday arvo

Taking the fleabags for walk on a beautiful day and came across the cache after a quick search. Being a Sunday afternoon, the playing fields were relatively quiet

Took nothing, left nothing and signed the log.

Thanks for the cache

Nice hiding place
Thanks for the cache

Been to GZ previously at night and didn't have much luck. But found this very quickly in the light of day.

Nice view or Quangers. Thanks for the cache.

I got to GZ however i think elvis had already left the building!
A quick find here before moving on too the next
Thanks for the cache

Robin led today’s Canberra Bushwalking Club walk through Cuumbeun Nature Reserve which provided the opportunity to find a couple geocaches. A walk of about 9km in four and a half hours, the weather was warm and the walking conditions pleasant. This cache was a straightforward find, being in an obvious spot on the coordinates. Thank you to COs for installing and maintaining this cache.

Tftc

I love the big ones. Thanks

TFTCA nice Sunday walk

Found 25/3 thank you.

TFTC! Beautiful view!

Being in and around Canberra for a special event which is happening Saturday afternoon meant I had a free morning. Because of this, I decided on collecting some more caches focusing this time on regular/large size containers and solved puzzles. But before I did that I started with ‘The Walker’ WIG around the lake (This makes 2/3 found now). Unlike yesterday, I did struggle with the cartridge but after the 2 hours(ish) ride around with plenty of rests, I got the right coordinates: THANKFULLY. A lot easier ride then yesterday. I then headed back out to Queanbeyan near to where I am staying and collecting more of the caches around which fit into the categories above. Tonight, I may go back out and collect some more around the area. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found, for allowing them to bring joy to me and to the rest of the caching community. TFTE and TFTC’s

TFTC!

A quick find while caching around Queanbeyan with Regxna, our second for the day.
TFTC

I was in the area and stopped for this fast find. TFTH

Couldn't see Elvis, but a good view nonetheless! TFTC!

After the nearby CITO event, I decided to hang around Queanbeyan and find a few nearby and/or interesting caches while I was over here (where I live, in Dunlop, is about the furtherest away CBR suburb from QBN) ... I eventually left the area, and headed home, after it got dark - LOL

TFTC - I decided to do a quick duck in to large crappy homewares and fabric/yarn/etc shop, because I noticed it was almost 4pm and I wasn't sure if that was when it closes (spent $5 on some cheap yarn). Realised as I turned in off the highway, this was where I needed to turn off for this cache anyway... So after confirmation that most stuff in that shop is still as expensive and junky as it has been for years, I came up and parked near the locked gate, and wandered about 60m across, and 20m UP - lol
Nice view though... Can see Black Mountain Tower from here... I live about this far from it - but on the opposite side! (I should be home having lunch... Er... Dinner... but I am having fun, and there is at least one more cache I want to find
Interesting size variation between some of those houses down there too ...

Collecting more steps. Only 1800 to go for my daily target. Nice views. TFTC

The weekly caching trip organised by Marmaduke Rothschild. We had new cacher Fred4655 with us. Some drive-bys in Queanbeyan (this one with a small walk). TFTC.

The eldest geodaughter and myself had 105 minutes to kill in Queanbeyan while the youngest was at Oliver rehearsals... so why not do a few caches!

We did some suburban parks, some ones along the old highway plus a few here and there. Fun night in the cold.

Steepish climb up in the dark, but fun

Found with wink. Inc wet weather

First day of the long weekend and I was off for an afternoon geomission to finish off the rest of the ALL7 series off Captain's Flat Rd and a few other randoms as well

Went to nab this one before the wander up the hill to grab some others but there were a group of youths up on the stands up to god knows what. After collecting the others, the youths had gone so wandered along to make the easy find [^]

Thanks for the hide, qbncachers

found with Banj Ward. TFTC

With dty73 we came across to this side of town for a little cache maintenance and as I needed to find four caches for the day, this was about as far from home as it gets for a 'local' suburban cache. Great for saving the ones close to home for those tricky days.

This had a nice loop of four in this area so looked good, also ended up being quite a nice walk through the area, following along on the little tracks and roads. Ended up being much warmer walking through than the mornings cold start, I'm getting slack from lack of walking it seems and the hills, as slight as they were, caused more puff than usual! I need to get out more it seems!

Didn't take us so long and a pleasant enough walk. All caches were easily found, in good condition and a bit of slight bush at times but mostly straight forward and enjoyable. Thanks for the cache qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms and timmy_3112

Aquilus1 and I were on this side of town performing some cache maintenance and showing a new friend the ropes on caching and Adventure Labs, when we were about to go into the City to do a little shopping for a party we were going to tonight, when Aquilus1 remembered that she needed four caches today, so we made a detour to up here to grab a good little bunch of caches.

We parked nearby and walked along past the fields then up to GZ. I straight forward find of the cache before heading off up the hill to the next one. Tftc qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms and timmy_3112!!!

#15452. Robmc and I are into day 4 of our 2 week holiday staying at Carwoola. With the Mega put to bed we are now free to go chasing caches further afield. Didn't venture too far today but completed the SRPT Series and a few others along the way before doing more caches along Wanna Wanna Road (very close to our accommodation). Finished the day with 71 finds and 2 DNFs.

After a cuppa and a snack and about 5 minutes break we gathered the geo-doggies and brought them to these 3 large ovals for a bit of a free run and to find just a few caches. This was the second of them. Must say I did not enjoy the rock scrambling up and down the hill. On our return to the car I got the point of this cache, after reading the big sign on the opposite side of the road.

Thanks qbncachers

Day four in Queanbeyan.
BettyBoo3747 and I started with the SRPT before lunch, lunched in Sutton, then collected some more caches around home, some in Wanna Wanna Road and a few while walking the dogs in Queanbeyan.

We thought we would walk the dogs across the top field, but found this one was no dogs!
So we dropped down a field and walked that one and round the back of the top one to the cache.
I think the dogs appreciated the extra distance.
We only realised what the title meant as we were driving away - very cute.
Thanks, Robmc.

Thank you pwala with lucky9

*22 Apr 2019, Found @11:45 am, Find # 2781.*

It was nice to be back in the Queanbeyan area after leaving here six years ago. Today I decided target some local caches and this was one of them.

**Thanks to qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms, timmy_3112 for placing this cache.**

Out today with 3ferrets for the Clear Waters Mega. Log nice and dry. TFTCSL lovely view this time of night

Found with Beary_Unicorns on and PurpleCacheEater doing, some night caching while camping at the Clear Waters Mega event, TFTC

Well did that the hard way. Walked up the hill thinking I would take the view as well but didn’t need to. Ah well the heart got a work out.
Tftc

Just realised the name of the hide refers to the new suburb here. Was wondering why it was called this. Now I know.

Found with hevwalker during the mega
Nice find, great view

After a bit of a slippery stroll up steep hill, the cache was soon in hand. TNLNSL TFTC

Found with Phoenix Flare during the Clear Waters Mega Event...
We scaled the height where we saw some nice views & grabbed the cache...

Found as team Lucky 9 during the mega. [^]
Mostly good coordinate spot with hunt (it was helpful.) [^]

Thanks qbncachers for organising the cache and hunt [^]

Thanks for the cache

Thanks for share Lucky 9 great

Couldn’t see Elvis’s house but did scare a few roo’s - one jumped the nearby 6foot fence to escape me.

Thanks qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms, timmy_3112 for the cache.

Found your cache during Mega event, thank you so much for placing it qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms, timmy_3112.

Staying in Canberra (from Brisbane) for a week of Mega celebrations. Enjoying the crisp mornings and beautiful days, caching whenever we can.

Nice walk in, and yeah, good views.

Cache 4992 on 17 Apr 2019.

The Mega is so very close now, and I need to carefully count my caches in order to reach my goal of 5000 caches at the mega! I picked up ZQX and we headed to Quenabeyan to collect a few selected caches and a few fandoms as well to make up numbers. Fortunately or unfortunately, while doing the AL cache, I got 5 lab caches added to my count! Now I have to be super careful! 8 caches today and 5 lab caches puts me super close to my goal. A fun day out with some quick finds , and not so quick finds! Thanks ZQX for the company.

This cache: seemed silly not to collect this one while in the area. Nice views from GZ, and then a gentle walk back to the car!

Thanks qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms, timmy_3112 for the cache and the fun!

Caching before the Queanbeyan Mega over Easter 2019.


TFTC, qbncachers, jubecube, xanderisms, timmy_3112.

Teamed up with geo friends to collect some extra caches for the day in and around the local district.
Good hide here and a quick find by the team.

Out and about with bill hill today doing a near by puzzle so had to detour to these higher DT thanks for the cache

Great view from GZ. TFTC

Once the GPS settled it was a quick find.

TFTC.

A climb uphill then the grotto was found for CIH. Nice view. TFTC

Out for a few caches with Touchstone 7. Thanks for the cache.

Nice spot. Hill nearby is about to be developed but hopefully won't effect the cache. Parking is now difficult though. Cache is in good condition. Tftc

With The Matetrix studying hard I though to head to the hills for a few nearby caches. No muggles about, the fields below empty, an easy find. I remember playing here when I was 11, a few years ago now. We lost. TNLNSL TFTC

Was in the area so visited this cache to log trackables back around Canberra.

Tricky little one

In Queanbeyan for SES training (from Wollongong) and thought I’d take advantage of my early morning with some caching and was happy to see a few within walking distance. Completed a nearby cache. Should have looked at this one a little more in depth as I’m sure there was an easier way to get to it then the way I went. After a short climb and dodging a lot of Roos, the cache was soon in hand. Was also lucky enough to see a hot air balloon off in the distance.
TFTC

After watching a game of soccer at the Kanga Cup it was time to head back to Canberra but there was no way I was leaving a cache only 150ms away. My muggle family waited patiently for me to take the walk to this one so I could sign the log. A nice quick find here. TFTC

Oh damn no pen .. I found cache .. show photo.. thanks
Beautiful heaps kangaroo with baby.. oh cute

On my way home from orienteering near Bungendore, I did a few park and grabs in Queanbeyan. Easily found after a short walk. TFTC.

Sunday walk with the geokids. We think it was displaced as we found it on the surface halfway down the hill. We placed it an obvious position at ground zero. Might need to check.

Tftc great walk early evening!

Back again with trackables, and a pen this time

Was in the neighbourhood with a bit of time to kill and decided to test my geocaching app. TFTC.

We stupidly walked up the very steep hill. Not as fit as we thought we were.. tftc

Thought that I would try and find this cache. Ended up having to try and find my bearings as I went away from the cache when I got near! After refocusing, cache was found and log signed.

TFTC!
