Hi gecko1968,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 4 weeks) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

02-Aug-22
Found but log unsignable. Original is full and the additionals are mouldy
 
11-May-22
Great to avenge my earlier DNF. Less worried about snakes here today, despite the long grass, although still took a couple of minutes to locate the container. Log is in a bad way (regrettably no replacements with me today) and this cache would benefit from maintenance in order to remain viable.
 
29-Apr-22
Nice one. May need to replace log as paper moist++++ TFTC
 
01-Mar-22
I was in West Belco to oick up some stuff and was nearly turning back home when I remembered that I also wanted a cache for the day. This one seemed accessible with a recovering ruptured ACL, though the long grass and terrain were still slightly challenging.

Thanks for bringing me to another part od Canberra that I do not know well.

Very smart hiding place

Found the cache and contents are very mouldy but dry. Have stamped and hopefully the red ink stays intact. Returned to its hiding place and continued along our way. TFTC
 
16-Dec-20
I had a very pleasant morning collecting traditional caches in the north-west of Canberra ahead of the forecast storms. Unfortunately although I Had an idea what to look for, the long grass (and my ever-present fear of steeping on Sammy Snake) meant I didn't search too hard - might pop back when the grass is shorter.

Finally found with Mastersnail.. tks

Good one for just starting geocaching.
 
29-Apr-19
With the coming of the cooler nights I’m trying to get my daily cache (#324) during the day instead. I had left this one a bit later before school pick up so I was quite anxious to find it quickly. My initial frantic search was fruitless and only resulted in a scratched palm. But I didn’t give up. A previous logger mentioned it was easy if you approached from the correct side so I took a few steps back and walked around slowly. That did the trick. I spotted the usual suspect. Added a new sheet of paper to the log too. Made it to school pick up in time no worries. TFTC
 
23-Apr-19
Found after searching around a quite a bit. But soon had it in hand. TFTC
 
10-Apr-19
Had not been in this area for years, I used to lead a walk from the ponds to here "in another life"! The grass was a little long, lovely views to the Brindabellas, excellent camp! Tftc
 
10-Apr-19
This was excellent camo! Sitting and filling in the log, I could imagine myself in the heart of Africa - the grass is as high as an elephant's eye. TFTC
 
25-Feb-19
Nice hide, due to my approach from the wrong side, it took a bit longer to find than expected from the comments. Good spot to avoid being seen by muggles, although I’m guessing more snakes saw me than I saw them. Desperate need of new log... signed the makeshift post-it and returned. TFTC
 
24-Jan-19
Thankfully a recent mow meant a more pleasant walk up the hill. Though GZ needed a little more care and snake bravery. Was very grateful to spot the cache quickly and sneak away without incident. And nice of K8tybee to keep me company on the phone whilst I hunted Smile Cache in great condition tftc

Sneaky. Some ants around that bit us! Smile

The log was full. Sad

Nice cache. Blends in quite nicely but found quickly. All in good order.

Thank you gecko1968 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Logbook full logbook wet needs replacing signed dsd over another person log. Needs to be archived

Found with Darksidedan. Log book full.
 
09-Jan-18
This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.
 
31-Dec-17
Amongst other things, the log is full. Also recommend a ziplock bag as the log is getting wet.
 
31-Dec-17
Cache was open leading to a much quicker find than it should have been. The log was totally drenched so we were unable to sign.
 
31-Dec-17
A bit of contortionism required to reach the container (after a bit of searching I spotted it from a distance). The log is wet, good thing it's one of those waterproof logs - even if my ballpoint pen worked on the material, it's full anyway. CO has not been online for some time, I'll PM them a photo anyway and a maintenance log.

2861 12 of 12 today.

I had a few free hours to gainfully employ in the noble quest of Geocaching. Looking around, I noted quite a large number of unfound caches in north & west Belco, not too far from home in Gungahlin, so I grabbed some lunch & hit the road. It was quite warm for this time of year, but no too unpleasant.

A tricky hide. Spent quite a while searching very close to the final location and around before stumbling on it. A very well placed cache & container.

TFTC gecko1968.

A quick find, as there it was. TNLNSL TFTC
 
27-Dec-16
Parked nearby and strolled up to GZ. Carefully, as the long grass was somewhat worrying at this time of year. At GZ, spent too much time searching what I had assumed was the obvious hiding place. Once I had widened my horizons somewhat, spotted a likely container. TFTC gecko1968
 
26-Dec-16
Found today while I was picking up a nearby Geocaching Aust cache for a claim in the Summer Scavenger Series. Nice hide which took me a while as the grass is pretty long atm. Worried about snakes but none seen. Cache found in good condition. TFTC Smile
 
19-Dec-16
Found it it finally!! TFTC
 
16-Oct-16
Sunday 16 October 2016 - a warm overcast Spring afternoon in complete contrast to the beautiful sunny morning when I found 6 caches. Found 5 from 5 caches over 1.5hr and only walking a max of 2.5kms Sad. Quick and easy find. TFTC gecko1968.

Spent the afternoon with Justjessie, ticking off suburbs for GC5KB4J. This was one of many along the way. TFTC.
 
05-Sep-16
For some reason the green spot keeps disappearing for this one on my phone. Not the first time for a cache for this to happen recently but spotted it back while in the area so stopped in.
Started to think it wasn't meant to be a find for me, knew I was in the right spot but couldn't see anything.
I gave the Lizard sunning itself it's space but once it moved on and could search that area spotted it quickly and log signed.
TFTC.

I had to drop son2 in Belconnen for a couple of hours so I used the time to cache (instead of going home and back again). This cache was a quick find. It was a very pleasant night to be out caching - [a record warm July night](http://www.weatherzone.com.au/news/record-warm-night-for-large-parts-of-nsw/524681). TFTC.
 
15-Jun-16
Log was full so we added a page of our own, TFTC!

Chilly day but good cache. Log is full but we managed to record find in a small gap. TFTC.
 
17-May-16
Nice view. Log is full
 
02-Apr-16
It's most definitely there. Very clever spot. Let me tell you it's not in any of the holes in the area these belong to some large wolf spiders much bigger than any I've seen in Perth. Be wary in this spot as there are Redbacks too, I'll come back to replace the log book as it is full, but left a sticker instead.
 
17-Feb-16
Only my second hunt didn't find it mostly cause I don't really know what to look for
 
11-Feb-16
It's not here.

Well with the trig cache archived last year we didn't head up to the trig today but we did get 'not quite [to] the trig'. Too many micros out this way today for us Wink but didn't take us too long to find this one. Thanks gecko1968 Big Grin
