Once again, Rapidlywild and I were out and about gallivanting around on another geomission on a Friday night. Tonight we decided to run amok at Queanbeyan Big Grin[:O)]Big Grin

RW had found this one a while back so I was on my own for the hunt here. The dog next door decided to say hello to us as I was searching but no luck. RW even joined in and had no joy either. Maybe this one has gone?
 
06-Oct-13
The obvious location was bare of a cache. Having read earlier logs re needles nearby we chose not to dig around.
 
29-Sep-13
I just could not find it

Love seeing cachers in the wild. We met a lovely family from north side. The kids had fun spotting this one. TFTC!

2013: 243 Days In A Row - We had a look for this one on a previous occasion, but today it couldn't have been easier. We also had the pleasure of pulling up at the same time as another family of cachers. Smile The fiddle with the GPS for a minute, and then get out to make it obvious. It's always a bit of a laugh when you bump into another cacher in the wild who you haven't met before. Smile Had a bit of a chat, and then it was off to the showground for a tree climb that's the hardest climb for a cache yet. TFTC, and it was nice meeting the AlanBegado caching clan. Smile

Took us a minute but we found it eventually... nice and quiet on a Fathers' Day Sunday
 
30-Aug-13
A very suspicious car parked at GZ - is that a GPS or a phone? Of course it was a caching team. Hi! A quick find, tftc.
 
25-Aug-13
Interesting place for a cache. Almost deserted on a Sunday afternoon., apart from a few skateboarders of course.

Nice easy find, TFTC!
 
25-Aug-13
A great afternoon out with Doppelfrog and Elvis (the geo-mutt) after the trivia event this morning. Easy find in the carpark - on a Sunday afternoon seems it is mostly used for a bit of skateboarding.
 
20-Aug-13
Nice quick find.Tftc

24-Jul-13
I gave up after I found someone else's "hide".

3 used needles. I'm now sitting waiting for someone to come and collect them.
 
01-Jul-13
Out and about in the area on a cold morning. This was the eighteenth find. Now in Queanbeyan, this one was close by. Stopped very close to the cache and jumped out to make a quick find. No one here apart from a few cars. TFTC qbncachers!
 
23-Jun-13
Someone practicing their road bike skills in here. Found reasonably quickly in broad daylight. Thanks
 
22-Jun-13
Found on a short-ish caching dash this morning. Tried this one a few weeks back and couldn't find it. The dog started barking so we left. Asked my friend alpacattacker for some advice, so we came back today to try again. It was a little more crowded, but it was found straight away once there. Can't believe we missed it last time! Nice little location. TNLNSL. TFTC qbncachers!

Easy find

Well I did find it, but didn't sign log. Was in Qbn and needed a cache for today so went for a "small" cache as I didn't have a pen with me on the hope that there would be a pen or pencil in it. Unfortunately this is not a small cache, and should be listed as a micro. I even had a small trackable with me to drop in, but the container was too small for it.

CO needs to change the listed size....
 
07-Jun-13
Never knew this car park existed, and it's a bit under utilised but I found the cache easily as it was not covered over.
 
04-Jun-13
Took a few minutes to uncover this one, but all was good and the dry cache was soon in hand.

Thanks for the cache....
 
03-Jun-13
I had to go to Woolworths to buy some groceries. Thought I would sneak in a few night caches whilst I was out. This car park is surprising well lit of a night time. Found after a short search.
 
17-May-13
We found this one about a week ago but forgot to log it, TFTC.
 
13-May-13
For some reason I struggled here. I had actually given up, but after a bit of reading in the car I decided to try again, and wow, there it was. I blame the rain. Thanks.

For this one the Vikings got there before us. We thought they were waiting for us, but no, they rushed out and Helga soon made the find, before we came to GZ. The cache was buried which is against the guidelines. THis could easily e fixed by a pile of rocks or something. TFTC

This one wasnt hidden under ground guys. Another cacher must have buried it after finding it.
Sorry. Will go look and place it properly.
 
22-Apr-13
Found after a little looking, realised we had to do a little digging, near a solid foundation.
 
20-Apr-13
Spent 15 mins, yes 15 mins in and out of the shrubbery, all around the rock and everywhere else too. The white dog was watching me through the gap in the corner of the fence. Could not find it.
BUT BY GOLLY, I did find two things of considerable value, very useful for the building trade.
Finally found it - far tooooooo wellll hiddennnn!! Replaced not so well hidden. Thanks.

Found this cache while in Queanbeyan celebrating "100years of Morris Cars and Canberra" weekend rally.
Doing a bit of caching in our spare time.
This one was just lying out in the open. so have replaced it well covered.
Thanks qbncachers for the hide.

Dang it! I was scoping this area for a hide a fortnight ago, but the nano I ordered got delayed over Easter! Needless to say, a very quick find in the first place I also considered hiding one, for the *FtF* at 1222. Took the 'Winner' medal and dropped off a pathtag.

The only other car in the carpark was a family who showed up while I was signing the log, taking advantage of the wide open spaces to give the kids a bit of bike riding practice - I remember doing that in a Melbourne shopping centre carpark on a quiet Sunday - but I was in a car, and it was before Sunday trading!

Thanks for the cache qbncachers - as much as I wish it a long life, I must admit a small part of me wants it to get muggled! Twisted
 
07-Apr-13
Took me longer than it should, as at this time, the lady with the kids on bikes was at full throttle! But found it none-the-less, where I though it would be, but didn't see it the first time. Thanks QC.
 
07-Apr-13
No troubles here. Thanks for the cache.

Probably should make the terrain 1.5.
 
07-Apr-13
A quick park and grab with no sign of muggles on bikes.

Thanks for the cache.
 
07-Apr-13
A quick grab on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Glad there were no muggles around.

Thanks for the cache.
