Lockdown has bought a totally different approach to caching with the introduction of homework! Much time for homework in fact. Therefore many more puzzles solved, both as a solo and collective effort. Thanks to my fellow geo buddies for assistance when needed.
And in between there are still some traditionals, though not nearly as many of them left these days
Logs all in good condition unless otherwise noted.
Thanks to shinydragon for putting out and maintaining all of these caches for our enjoyment!

Took a little hunt but found in a likely spot - just had to let my fingers do the searching
Thanks for hiding this cache shinydragon

That was a bit tricky but after going back over the obvious spots managed to find.

Of course it was not in the first place I looked - until I looked for the second time more carefully! Tftc
After a client meeting nearby, I ducked across to look for this cache. With two potential spots I managed to check the wrong one first. Then spotted, removed cobwebs with a nearby stick before retrieving the cache. Logged and replaced. TFTF.
Avenged a long ago DNF when I was disturbed by muggle neighbour. Tonight uninterrupted soon found. Tftc.
Dropped into the grass / leaves, didn’t take long to find other than it falling. TTTC
Found with [@Decrypter](http://coord.info/PR75QXD). We were nearby and we decided to go for a walk and to find a cache. We arrived at GZ and started our search. After a short while D read the hint, then a few previous logs, so we started searching more thoroughly and eventually we felt the hide. Log signed and cache replaced and we headed back to the car. TFTC.
Felt like I was in someone's backyard. Have a fair idea of where it would have been but not sure I wanna stick my hands down there. May try again another time.
Had fun finding this, the detection was a bit off sadly but @bottlecapkid and I had lots of fun with this
Found it!! Took a bit longer then I thought, because we didn't wanna stick our hands in. Found with @Ayda05

A nice quick find although the neighbourhood dogs didn't like me being there. TFTC
**This Cache:**
Drove down the dead-end street closest to this cache, a very dodgy looking street though, one of the houses isn't even there and has been pulled down! Someone then started walking down the street also looking dodgy, yup I am not parking here!
So I did a uturn and parked a bit further away, at another entrance to the walkway. But walking down the walkway wasn't much better! There were two huge dogs behind a huge metal barbed fence, the type you put around a government facility.... they seemed like they wanted to kill me so I was glad of the big fence. Then there's another abandoned house, with junk all in the yard and very eerie looking. Ok let's find this cache and get out of here!
I was thankful the cache had fallen off and was lying on the ground, because let's be real I didn't want to be sticking my hands into the unknown....
Signed and regretfully placed the container back under the lip, magnetised, so it won't go missing on the ground. Good luck to the next cacher, but I am out of here!!!
Thanks

**The Day:**
The weather was forecast to be be quite pleasant today, with a cooler change to what we have been receiving lately, the storm from yesterday decided to reward us!
I decided to go for a drive down to Tharwa and attempt the Vampire caches that go down the east side of the Murrumbidgee River. Lots of caches down this way, all which were hidden by both Tankengine and DSD! Saw 3 foxes (maybe I was chasing the same one down the river?), 1 Wombat, lots of rabbits, and surprisingly only a few Kangaroo's for a change!?
Only had to cross the river once at my turn around point, so that I could take the more civilised and beaten path back to my car. Managed to find a spot that was only ankle deep, and the water was beautiful! A LOT warmer than the last time I crossed the Murrumbidgee!
After I returned from a 3 hour walk, I decided to spend a couple more hours back in Canberra picking up some traditional caches around the Tuggernong suburbs.
Thanks to all the CO's for a great day out!

Found Sat morning with no one in sight.
Nice walking trail here .
Thanks to shineydragon for the cache hide.

Tftc. Turned up in the dark to do my cache for the day and expected to be a bit tougher due to no light. Wasn’t much of a challenge with the cache laying on the ground in plain sight.
#1608. 11 days in a row.
I dropped by here on my way home from a friend's place. Started searching and got some advice from a nearby house - the resident had found the cache by accident a while ago while cleaning out the leaf litter.
I assume this container had had a magnet when it was placed, but that seems to have fallen off. The container also seems to have become home to a large number of tiny ants.

I have been wanting to look for this cache for some time, but haven't been able to manage it until today. It is my only unfound cache in the wider area - a little green spot on the map that taunts me constantly!
Anyway, today I made my way to GZ and after a brief look came up with the goods. I liked the hint

Visiting from Adelaide for Xmas, took a quick 6km stroll to grab caches around Waniassa before Xmas lunch.
Had a good look around the object but couldnt find this one

Luck was on my side and instead of rain forecast the day was warm, sunny and perfect for caching. It was a beautiful day to visit the other side of town with StrangeTrousers and see what life is like on the other side of the bridge. A great afternoon with a tree climb, my first Wherigo and meet up with fellow catchers.
Thanks for the series.

#3629 8 of 9 today.
An unexpectedly lovely, warm day. The forecast was for a cloudy day with a chance of showers. CBRChic & I had no real caching plans, but we hatched a plan to raid down south after lunch with only a few hours available. It turned out to be a very entertaining set of cache adventures and no DNFs.
A quick find.

19th for the day. Found by suzella29. On the run home in our quest for 24 today. Tftc!
This was the eighth for an evening 'difficult terrain' tour with Aquilus1, dty73 and Aykayem. Had a really great time as this was the first time I had gone caching with anyone else other than the geofamily. The plan for this trip was hatched during the recent CITO and tonight all the elements came together. Will definitely do this again, I hope they enjoyed my company as much as I enjoyed theirs.
hmmm, I used to live just near here, and I remember now why I was scared to go out at night. No offense

When CBR_Grrahams, dty73, and Aquilus1 mentioned, at a recent event, that they may appreciate my willingness to partake in some arboreal pursuits, I was all too happy to jump at the chance - any excuse to monkey around, and group caching is always fun
TFTC - much easier to find when it is actually here - lol
In fact so easy I felt around in a harder place first, while the others laughed at me ... I looked for this nearly a year ago, twice, but it was missing ... not sure why I never came and got I after it was replaced ... been meaning to ... and I am often visiting in the next suburb ... oh well - all fixed now - blue sad face can now be a smiley
