Brindy Views Holt, Australian Capital Territory, Australia

I will have to wait to see what they are going to do with this structure so I will archive it until I know what they are going to do.

Unfortunately the GZ attachment point has sustained considerable damage so I have disabled and retrieved the cache until I see if they are going to repair it.

A quick find after the first round of foresomes where allrounder and I were a team. Been meaning to make this find for a verrrrry long time. It will need a new log soon and owner CO may need to check this cache as GZ has obviously changed since placement. Still able to be found when you have an idea of what you're looking for.

TFTC and thanks to tree whisperer

Two and a half months since last found, plus a recent dnf had me concerned on approach but once at gz the find was made within moments. Nicely set up! The concept is one I've seen before, just not with this method of attachment. Neat!
TFTC, Wannabe22

After our morning hike at Mt Majura the rest of the family was wedging out at home but I was in the mood for some more caching around Belconnen. Got a big step closer to cleaning out the Belconnen suburbs.

Not too many places to look but I probably looked at all of thise at least once before I found it. Nicely done. TFTC.

Even with the hint DNF.

It's Australia day weekend, so that must mean Finalf29 is battling it out at CanCon and I am caching with AngelG27... and thus nature is balanced. Last day of my caching weekend with AngelG27, but best cache haul... found twenty three. We had another paddle in the canoe, then just kept caching... even though it felt like 90% humidity and angry ants everywhere! Wonderful day and weekend... Thanks AngelG27 for the lots of laughter, coming up with fantastic plans and being such great company... you are a true friend.

This was my fifteenth for the day. My GPS was all over the place. Two muggles walked past and we had a wonderful talk about how beautiful Canberra is and what spectacular views across to the Brindabellas. Once they left, AngelG27 yelled the hint from the car and I was straight on to it. Very clever camo. Favourite point from me. Thanks

It took a few minutes but got it.. nice camo.. fav

Could see anything

A clever hide, I would never have noticed it if the GPS had not led me away from GZ. Great views, and grapes - who knew there was a vineyard so close?

TFTC Wannabe22

Awesome cache!

Best yet

Found it. Looked for something that didn't make sense. Couldn't get log out though. Thank you. Great cache.

Awesome cache!! Love it!! I would have given up on this one if it wasn't for BurgAndSons figuring it out.

Finally found this with LittleSparr0w on our second attempt. Very clever.

With ALL7. TFTC

Found with MW9910B

It was a freezing day but still found this cache, clever.

TFTC Wannabe22

Snowy found. Tricky

Nice little geo TFTC!!

What an excellent cache

Found with Doofus, no help needed. Really cool cache.

Yup! It gets a favorite from me too great views TFTC

After the nearby event I headed over to this cache with injuryman who had already found it. With lots of favourite points it was time I finally grabbed it after driving past numerous times while collecting other caches.

We parked near GZ and walked over. Despite injuryman being here before he couldn't remember the exact cache location so it took us a few minutes to finally spy something out of place!

A very sneaky cache, have seen a few of these before but this one is pretty well executed!
Thanks Wannabe22, favourite point added

Nice cache

Good find while driving / walking around the area.
Thanks for the fun. SL

Good hide here.

After a long week all the mrs wanted to do was find one cache, both this the crativity was great TFTC xx

Grate hide awesome location

Tftc. Found it immediately but couldn't get log out, so made the trek back to the car for a handy tool. Usually I have Mrs Jaybeem on hand and out comes the trusty earring.

Before we joined the happy band of Geocachers we came searching for this one with dty73. Having fired up our imaginations we were soon downloading the app & have been happily caching ever since. This is a really clever hide. Thanks. Kutgw

F(H)ound It! #1693 - @11:34:00 AM

Parked by the horse park and walked about 1km and back to pick up a few caches. Tricky hide. Iwas just about to give up and its SO HOT, the RP was lying panting under a nearby tree...then something caught my eye. Ahhaa!! I saw the Brindy Views distorted and wavy in the shimmering heat. Thanks for the cache, Wannabe22.

Ridgeo-pup pic attached:

Loved it! Tftc!

Found with The Matetrix and geokids 2 and 3. A day out with the kids. A bit of this, a bit of that, and some geocaching. TNLNSL TFTC

Found with IamCoust

We decided to treat ourselves and take today off work (no more work until next year - yay!) so of course we took the opportunity to find a "few" caches. We loaded up the car with Saf's bike and The Woofer, and arrived at our destination on the dot of 6AM. Over 6 hours later, sore, hot, and with 31 caches found, we decided that might be enough, and headed home to our air-conditioning! We left something small in each one, where possible, and only had 2 DNFs. Not a bad run!

We love these types of caches! Having seen a lot of them, it was a quick find, but still fun - TFTC!

Placeholder log

Very clever! Took a little bit to figure out how to extract

Ahaha this is great. Saw it but passed it off. Kept thinking about that one thing I saw and finally peaches_00 had a look. TFTC

I decided to spend some time this afternoon turning blue frowny faces from when I started Geocaching into smiley yellow ones.
Last time I visited, I had very limited mobility due to an accident a few months previously. Now that I could move my head around a lot more, I quickly spotted the cache and sat down to sign the log. Replaced quickly with a minimum of fuss. TFTC

Very clever! Perhaps one of the best I have seen so far.
Spotted it fairly quickly but took a little to work out just how to get to it. Easy!
Glad I had the tweezers or wouldn't have been able to sign.
Well done on this cache, geopup enjoyed her walk too.
Thanks for the cache.

I tried this one when we first started and couldn't find. Now with a lot more under my belt "and some help" found a lot quicker. Haven't seen one this good though! Excellent hide! Can see what others mean in their logs now. So obvious when you find it (but isn't always). Tftc!!!!

I escaped for a couple of hours caching this afternoon, mostly park and grabs. I quickly spotted the genius hide. TFTC.

The second find of the day. I needed a cache with at least 10 souvenirs for today's souvenir and when I checked the map, this one fitted the bill nicely. Close to home, drive-by and plenty of favourite points. What more could you ask for! After collected Denman Prospect Guard on my way over, I was soon parked close to GZ of this one. I checked a few spots at first before finding the cleverly disguised cache! Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC Wannabe22!

Found on this freezing cold winter Sunday on a short geo-mission after a week and a half sick with the dreaded super bug that sunk me a couple of years ago. Last time I looked here I did spot it, but unfortunately my fingers weren't manipulating the right *spot* to make it yield. This time, I tried a different approach and soon had it in hand. A muggle walking his dog asked us if we were searching for Pokemon, LOL. TFTC Wannabe22

Found with my Mum, Boeing737. A muggle thought we were looking for Pokemon, LOL

Finally! After several attempts. I found this the last time I was here but wasn't sure how to open it. Got it this time. TFTC it certainly had me looking for some time

Maybe it was a little to hard for us?? This was only our third GC. Will try again soon.

Quick night find, TFTC wonnabe22

Found on our morning walk. Nice container, and great views. TFTC.

That was very cool, Great job! Tftc and the views!

Awesome cache! Seen similar before so stood out to us but not as beautifully made...good work. TFTC.

Can't find it!!! We live across the road!

the log is full. sorry I didn't have that type to replace.

quick drive and a quick find. TFTC

Log replaced and good to go.

Great find need new log book though

A fantastc hide and cache! Needs a new log.

Great little find! Definitely need a new log - no space left, thanks.

Found this wicked cache on very rainy afternoon - a perfect opportunity to have a teenage learner driver take me around to a few caches - no views today though. Hopped back in the geo-golf to check out all the goodies inside while out of the pouring rain for a few moments. It took a few moments to extract the log, but managed it before too long and then returned everything back the way it was found.
Thanks Wannabe!
Cheers

We loved this view.....grape vines and sheep in the distance, looking across to some beautiful hills.
Nice one!

Thanks Wannabe22,

Well played sir/madam. Well played! My favourite cache so far!

#1822 3 of 10 today.

I spent the first half of my caching day out east doing a maintenance run on my CFT trail. I noted some ominous clouds about, but thought that was hours away yet. It was quite humid, so not too surprising. My maintenance chores completed, I headed west to west Belconnen to an area I've never been to. The storm was rumbling away by the time I got there, but no rain, so I risked it & carried on caching.

This one was not immediately obvious. I review some earlier logs that basically told me to try harder. Eventually I spotted something but it was so well constructed, I was not sure at first. FP for ingenuity. Also for the great views.

Thanks for the cache Wannabe22.

Tried and failed about 15 months ago, to-day returned and found. Still took a while to find when I spyed something that appeared to have no purpose. TFTC.

Nice one.

Pleased to say it didn't take long, very clever

Short search with Nickoff, great find. SL Lenng

found with lenng from bateman's bay after previous dnf. TFTC yes have struck this type before and should have picked up the first time.

Pagan located this one after a bit of a hunt. Definitely great views over the Brindabellas and would be a great spot in winter to see the snow on the peaks. Thanks Wannabe22

Swung by this one after work on the way home.

Parked nearby then wandered over to start the search. Went round and round a couple of time before spying something a little out of place. Gave it a go and yes...just as I suspected-the cache! These containers are amongst my favourites!

Lots of sheep in the vineyard nearby and good views!

Thanks for the hide, Wannabe22-fave from me

Looked for 15 mins - very little other activity, despite the great afternoon. Checked some obvious places and some less so. Will think about it some more and try again.

First ins found in a while

Very very sneaky! Loved it. TFTC

We had a huge day in Canberra with Wilbert67 caching. Managed find all but 3 of our suggested list. I consider that a successful day and the weather was kind to us. Thanks for all the CO for the caches.

On a big day of caching through Canberra today with J+J.AU. Early stat and bikes ready to go. Quit a few hills to conquer today, but it was oh so much fun. Ideal weather conditions and many other outdoor enjoyers along the way made for a fun day!
TFTC Wilbert67

Fantastic View - and a very clever hide - although it didn't take very long to identify. My 75th and I saved the closest to home!

This one is great

Ooh - seems I am almost running out of time to earn those road trip souvenirs - have not even looked for any caches for a few weeks (happens when one is busy putting a house on the market) ... and maybe it is not a good idea to try and do them all in the last few hours of the last day - lol
One that I need is a cache with 10 or more favourite points, and I noticed this one was a very short detour on my way home from work (was also sort of on my way to another cache I wanted to find for another of the souvenirs
Drove past somewhere I probably could have parked, next spot to pull over was a little way down the road ... but I noticed there was a bit of a vehicle track under the power lines so I kind of got cheeky and did this cache as a park and grab
Hmm ... but where IS it? ... *looks around, spots something a bit odd* ... Ah - I bet that is it ... *pokes/pulls/wiggles:etc* ... maybe not ... *looks around, thinks a bit* ... hmm, I was sure that would be it ... why else would that be there? ... *has another look/fiddle* ... Ah - it IS the cache!
Love the camo - works well
Nice view too ...

After a really long day caching in Wodonga this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was to drive in CBR and find another cache! But I figured that not only would I be able to claim three states in one day, but that I would be able to pick up 5-6 counties in one day too for my stats. So I cast around for a quick find and this one came to mind. I had sussed it out a few weeks ago in case I needed it for my 366 day streak, but with only three days to go, I was pretty confident that I didn't need to keep this one in reserve any longer.

Hide was neat, and the views in daylight are lovely (not so much at night .

Thanks Wannabe22 for the cache!

Was talking to a friend about geocaching and mentioned I hadn't been out for a while - she mentioned this one and set down the challenge. All I can say really is "Got it!"

TFTC

Very good

Nice cache and views. TFTC wannabee22.

Well made cache. TFTC

Very tricky took us a while to find it, TFTC

While visiting the in-laws, I went for a short walk after helping to bath the geo-bub. A quick find after spring something that didn't quite make sense where it was. TFTC

I spent 15 minutes trying to find this - no muggles around. Beautiful view. I'll watch to see when another person finds it before trying again. Thanks Wannabe 22

It was a tough one! The newly mown ground cover made it less scary than a couple of weeks ago. Geo tweezers are definitely recommended! Awesome hide, awesome view. Tftc

Too open and too much muggle activity, next time.

Looked for around 10-15mins, could not find it I'll be back!!

Looked for a while - no luck! Will try again with fresh eyes another day.

Found 9:48 pm with SkyPirate~ (Geo son). I had earmarked this one the previous night to do my daily find but I got lost and ended up looking for something else. I was intrigued by the commentary and description and therefore was interested in looking this one up. Today headed out and took the right direction to get near to the locate the cache. Parked the geovehicle nearby to GZ and we headed over to look for this guy. Due to the time we were using torches.

Our searching explored a few possibilities but we struggled at first to figure this one out. Then I was looking further and as others noted something was a little out of the normal. Secondly having seen something similar before I thought I might be onto something but how was it attached hmmm. I ended up removing everything unnecessarily I suppose, when I realised I could have just done the log container. Which geo son pointed out to me. Once signing of the log was done, I just did MrDa for me, the log was replaced and cache replaced as found. I had typed all this in last night when annoyingly the battery died on me and so I've left it today to renter the text. Thanks for the cache. I like the way this was done. A fav also.

Due to the time unfortunately couldn't really enjoy the view. Oh well next time.

Will return with eagle eyed missus.

Clever hide! Took awhile. TFTC

Man I have looked here twice and we still can't find it. Would be great if someone could give us a hint. We've looked high and low and in between.

Day out with M-sez from SA and Mister JD in Knightech Treck

Some very cool Caches and some great views

Fun was had by all

TFTC

Visiting from Adelaide. I spent today caching with knightech and Mister JD. We visited about 20 caches with no DNFs. A quick find with some great views. TFTC

Wow. This was impressive.

Very tricky. Tftc.

Enjoyed wander, search, found and signed the log. Thanks wannabe22

Clever hide, took some thought:-) Cold day geo-caching up-north
