Argh the mowers got me again...oh well atleast now everything looks pretty :p this one had a good run...thnx too all the cachers who came to find it!!!!
Found a toy on the ground and like others ha've said it looks like things have been moved around.. defiantly in need of checking up on.
I am suspicious that a muggle has got it. A couple of the large boulders have been moved and there is disruption in the area.
Didn't find it but I have a feeling it may have been destroyed as there are small random objects scattered around that may have once been in the cache?
No joy with this one today. When we stopped to look a ranger drove past and asked if we had lost something. When I said we were looking for a geocache he was surprised and said it was not a very good spot to hide one - they had just moved some rocks about recently (including one that appeared to be at GZ). He reckoned if there had been anything in the area it would have been disposed of as apparent rubbish That said, we still had a thorough look around but still came up empty handed....
Nice easy find. Found with GeoMum Toast15!! Would've brought GeoDod but she's at home recovering from a dog bite.
Yes!! finally visited when there weren't teenage muggles in cars parked here TFTC
Long time since I have been down this way. Might be a great day for a swim. TFTC DopAmel.
We had a nice liesurely look around Canberra and this was one of the caches we were able to find while we were out exploring. [^][^] Thanks to DopAmel
Finally completed this series, apart from one DNF, early in the morning before the day heated up. TFTC DopAmel
Parked near the entrance to begin the walk down to the river, and whaddayaknow, there's a cache! Handy quick grab before the trek began. Cheers!

This was my first visit to Kambah Pool, and this was a really cool series of caches to find on the way.
Fantastic day out and many thanks to DopAmel for hiding them all.
One cache eluded me, but Im not the greatest at finding anyway.

#2646 - 20:55; Out and about on a late evening run tonight with MrDamage to collect our nightly daily. We decided to head back to this stretch of road to finish off the 'Most Haunted' series and picked this one up to start the night off. Parked fairly close to GZ where MrD made a quick find. Paperwork completed, we set off again on our original mission. TFTC DopAmel
Found 8:57 pm with LuckyL10n. Out for our daily find to keep the streak alive. I need to potentially start looking for a new streak buddy with LuckyL10n very soon to hit his year of streaking. We approached GZ and after a very quick search located the cache. Signing of the log duties is being done by LuckyL10n while a finger on my right hand is splinted. I'll have see how good I can write with my left hand. I can still scrawl out a name but it's neater if he writes. Anyway log signing duties completed cache replaced and onto the next to find.
Quick find! TfTC found with graceash and geokids! What a great place next time we will be prepared with our swimmers
There was a car parked just up the road from GZ, they moved on after I found the cache only to return after I left. A quick find, thanks.
Late log - we found this while waiting for our friends to drop off cars for our public holiday Centenary trail walk, they were late so a quick cache filled in the time. TFTC
Getting excited as we reach our destination, looking forward to seeing Kambah pool. Tftc

The plan for the day was to park here and take a walk up Kambah Pool Rd picking up the various "Haunted" caches. Lots of cyclists heading past on the Centennial trail, had to wait a bit for a pack to pass. Tftc.
Out doing some caches down Kambah Pool Road this afternoon. A quick and easy find. TFTC
This was one of an easy to find series in a very impressive valley area.
The weather was perfect and the cache was easy to find. I really enjoy these mini trails as they can be completed in a relaxed manner with the end goal being the very peaceful Kambah pools. TFTC.
(I put a small temporary log in the cache as the cache log was full!

I spotted the likely hide when a rider pulled up to ask if we were looking for the same things. Apparently so. Although I found some unsavoury items right next to the cache.
Nice sunny for geocaching, good hide spot... No swap. Signed the log. Thanks DopAmel. [^] [^]
We found ourselves out and about early this morning in this area so decided to start at the beginning of his trail and collect our one for the day. The log is full and will need replacing, we managed to find a space to sign. TFTC
After speeding back along the new centenary trail single track, I found this one in seconds - a totally obvious hide. Rehid with a less is more approach to make it less obvious...
My Geocache buddy DarzeeDi was out of town for a netball comp so I decided to find some caches she has already found. I went to the National Portrait Gallery in the morning to see the National Photographic Portrait Com exhibit and then headed out to the Kambah pool rd to grab some caches. The NPG is well worth a visit. tftc DopAmel
Accompanied Dragon1982, enjoyed drive on the road to Kambah Pool caches... easy to find as very well hide thanks
Accompanied ALL7, enjoyed drive on the road to Kambah Pool caches... Nice hide TFTC.
Sunday 18 May 2014 - cool overcast autumn afternoon bike riding and walking over 3 hours. Quick and easy find. Thx p2p, TFTC.
The log is basically full and needs another piece if paper. Thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache. It was a glorious Canberra day to visit Kambah Pool. We may have used up the last writing spot on the log paper so it needs another piece of paper for the next person.
Thanks

No problems making this grab while on a spree through the area.
Thanks for the cache and the run along Kambah Pool Road.

Stop number 2 on a driveby geocaching run. Very quickly found which is nice considering the weather. TFTC DopAmel
Had some free time this afternoon, so decided to pick up a couple of geocaches in the area. Arrived to see some suspicious characters at ground zero and figured that they were also looking for the hidden treasure. Said a hello and sure enough, they were actively looking for the cache.
TFTC DopAmel.

Quick find with napalm327
Cache was in bits
Maybe the heavy rain recently smashed it
Napalm did fix up job on it

Found 1:40. Appears muggled as the container was strewn around. Found log paper and reset, added an item to the find.
On a little caching lap around Urambi Hills and the Murrumbidgee River. Some other mates were parked here, trig bagging Forster and TG26 (Urambi Hills). One friend had nearl parked on top of the welcome. TFTC.
With The Rats trying to find #10,000 before July, steeba and I were easy to convince to come on a trip to Canberra to have a big day of raiding numbers. Despite the temperature hitting 37°C we still managed to find a lot of caches. Although it sure was testing in that heat.
Last cache for me along this road. Quick find.
Cheers

Headed down to Canberra for a bit of caching with steeba and Hoojar. This was one of a few caches we found on a very hot day in Canberra.
With the temperature nudging 37deg the order of the day was plenty of water, shade with a bit of caching thrown in. Headed out towards Kambah pools finding these along the way.

Found on a quick overnight trip down to Canberra with The Rats and Hoojar.
Hoojar had already found this one but we made the stop in any case. It has been years since I paddled downstream from here. TFTC!

Baja15 joined me in a trip to Canberra to drop our grand son off, so we took the opportunity to grab some caches, its quite busy here today , people enjoying the long week and the weather. cache soon located well and dry. TNSL TFTC
I ventured out this way to do the new series on this road. I didn't know this place existed so thanks for showing me. SL..TFTC
Not part of the nearby series, but still part of the mini-power trail; the ninth for me today. TFTC.
Was in the neighbourhood doing the Urambi Ureka and Red Rocks caches so we quickly stopped to grab this one on the way home. We ran our of time to find more today. All your caches on this road are in my GPS, so we'll be back to find them when we score another few hours to geocache. Perfect weather at the moment! Thanks for the cache DopAmel!
After walking to Redcliffs and stopping off at Eurambi this was very easy. Thanks DopAmel.
Quick find on a nice Sunday morning in Canberra. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!
A week to go on holiday and had a child free morning so decided to walk along Kambah Pool Rd and do the caches along it. Started with this one. Quick find TFTC!
Reperio at 0850.
Arrived in the ACT last night ahead of the upcoming 10 Year Earthcache event at Wasp Head...and had the day free to find a few caches. After finding some of the Haunted Series, I stopped by here before turning around and heading back into Central Canberra. This is a lovely spot...and one I enjoyed visiting when I lived here.
Gratias DopAmel.

Found at 8:35:00 AM.
Picked up on the way back from some cache maintenance on the Kambah Pool to Cotter track. I think the difficulty and terrain rating of this cache are significantly overstated. I estimate D1.5/T1.5.

owner maintenance, cache is still up and running just cleaned it a bit. Thanks to Noik below for giving me tips on rating caches difficulties!
Just out for a few quick finds after dinner before it became dark. Thanks DopAmel.
