Time to let this one go, have had to replace many times over the years. Thanks to all who visited this cache

I was making a deposit down the road a bit, and took the opportunity to stop off and grab this one while in the area. Cache wasn't in the obvious spot, but I looked around a bit and found it nearby. Unfortunately the container isn't very waterproof, and was quite soaked inside, but managed to write my name faintly on the soggy logbook.

TNLN - Thanks Rapidlywild!

Saturated.couldnt log.tftc

Another weekeend, another map cleanup trip with Aquilus1. After spending many months on puzzles the last few weeks has been all about collecting. My sixth trip up Issac's Ridge, please no one else put up more puzzles here....I met Aquilus1 at the top of Long Gully Road to pick her up and drove back to the other end of the ridge, in O'Malley..... once up on the ridge we only had to come down a few times for caches.

AFter the ridge it was lunch at Erindale, which makes 3 or 4 weekends in a row we have eaten down there.. such variety. Then back down Long Gully Road to Mugga Way to grab a bunch more along the road and in Cullum Brae.

Thanks for all the hides and the the CO's for placing and maintaining.... Noikmeister, Darksidedan, Rapidlywold, Tankengine, Tealby, BatGirl & Winterdragon. Quite a variety of puzzles and hides!

ANother park and grab, huzzah!

Not sure it's where it is supposed to be. The inside is totally waterlogged, including the logbook. I put it back where I found it.

7/20
Not where I thought it would be hiding. Also logbook drenched and most pages stuck together.
I put it back where it was.

Good hiding

It was fun looking for it thought it was hard

Nice

Intact but totally saturated
Log very wet

TFTC beware of snakes and barbed wire too!

I daylight savings. I had intended on tackling a bushwalk/trail today but got caught up with domestics. I've still got a few hours of sunlight left to pick up a string of drive bys in this area. Yay! Prickle bushes, blackberries & barbed wire - I managed to avoid ALL the thinfs. TFTC Rapidlywild.

Easily found and on to the next one. TFTC Rapidlywild.

This cache is in good shape, good find. Kutgw

Another long great day out with woolwood9 hunting containers.

*Big thank you to the cache owners who made our trip fun!*

Found while on a trip away with tmann421, heading to the MEGA in Canberra
Signed as TM/WW NZ
Thanks for the placement

Day 5 Mega Trip
Now at Queanbeyan for the Clear Waters Mega we headed out today with Tassie Trekkersto find a few caches. It is hard to know where to start, there are som many to choose from. As we were heading to another area we spotted this series and collected a few on our way to somewhere else. TFTC

We have arrived at Queanbeyan for the Clear Waters Mega event and targeted some caches with Whitewebbs and this was one of them.

An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

No luck here for me . Cheers

Cache is happily tucked away. Not in the first or natural spot but a lap of the vicinity brought a flash of a well known colour. Tftc.

No find for me today. It didn’t seem to be in the obvious place and I wasn’t in the mood to fight blackberry brambles to look closer. Maybe another day.

A quick park and grab. TFTC

Checked on this one and cache is still in place and undamaged. Cache on

Maybe next time. TFTC

No luck

Found it on the 10th

Yeheye

The Monday evening Omnia walk explored Callum Brae Nature Reserve today which gave me the opportunity to find 11 geocaches around Long Gully Road and Mugga Lane on the way there. This cache was a straightforward find, being on the coordinates. Fortunately the prickles haven’t grown much with the return of warmth and rain. Thank you Rapidlywild for installing and maintaining this cache.

Out doing some of this series today. Picked up a pathtag.. Cool thanks jaybeem!
Tftc

Good advice about the blackberries! Took TB but left pathways (as didn't really know how they work). Also just beware dead brown snake on the road right near this cache! That time of year!

Tftc! Dropped a handful of pathtags and a geocoin

I'm slow. Mel's a genius bahahaha. Found on the way to the canberra CITO tftc

Taking advantage of a public holiday, nibletricecakes and I headed out with a plan to end up at our third CITO for the weekend.

Quick few finds to finish the day.....glad to get a few more of these ticked off the list.

Not as busy along this road. Was lucky when a galoon going to the tip lost part of his load which hit my car - lucky it was only styrofoam! Thanks for the hint re blackberries.

Another dri e by.
Thanks RapidlyWild

Second to sign a nice new log book. All good and TFTC

Windy and drizzly day but still fun for caching! Thanks Rapidlywild

Did a quick maintenance run along the NT series after work to replace a couple containers/logs that were reported missing and/or damaged. I have been waiting on my new supply of log books to arrive hence the delay.

Log book replaced on this one. Please ensure the log bags are closed properly peoples! Cache on.

This geocacher reported that the log book is wet.

Out with dty73 looking for some wet weather terrain caches today, and the ones in the area here looked good. With just a slight drizzle from time to time a nice quick park and grab was ideal, although by now the shoes and pants where getting very wet from the grass! Unfortunately log is also very, very, wet. Thanks for the cache Rapidlywild!

Aquilus1 and I came out to the area to pick up a couple of caches and decided while our shoes and pants were so wet we might as well keep going. The log pages are saturated and stuck together - still signed, but really needs attention. TFTC!!!

Log book wet unable to write needs maintenance!!! TFTC

Found with Cageys... need maintenance as log all soaked, unable to write

After finding about 2 thirds of the ACT 1000 Club we decided the heat was too much and decided to enjoy the geocar's A/C and visit the NT: Suburbs series. All were found easily except for 1DNF. Thank you Rapidlywild for this series.

Visiting Canberra from Brisbane for four days and decided to do as many of the NT series. Apologise for the generic cache, however while in Canberra I am doing quite a large number of caches. With your caches it was enjoyable in locating them. TFTC Rapidlywild

Down the Hume we went with the day off we decided to finally visit the star buffet in kambah for our first time. (we weren't disappointed, amazing food and a great atmosphere) so why not do a few caches to and fro.

On our way we went via the monaro highway and then on return via tuggeranong. We did a dozen caches as it was quite warm and with the geokid in tow we didn't want to push our luck with it.

Most caches were simple Park and grabs. We also visited the handful of trackables we had on board today.

TFTC.

Found as described

Sunday 15 January 2017 - a hot Summer's afternoon out on bike and foot to find 8 from 8 caches over 4 hours. High dense grasses made it a difficult and scary to find as there were sounds of rustling around as I approached GZ. Thankfully no snakes made an appearances. Thx p2p. TFTC Rapidlywild.

Went to attempt this one

Grass was real high and we heard rapid movement so backed out slowly.. we were absently watched by the large bull in the adjacent paddock!

Over this side so decided to fill the white square on my calendar while I was here. I had given up on this cache and once sitting in the car checked the hint on Sam2 as I couldn't find hint on Monty, my new GPSr. After reading the hint I attacked the area again, this time successfully. Added my name to the log and returned it to its hidey hole. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache and series for us to find Rapidlywild. TNLN SL

Another one done. Woo Hoo! I love the challenge of the geocache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. This is an amazing world-wide game of hide and seek. I love it! I also enjoy caching with my family, and meeting fellow cachers. It really is a small world when I read over cache logs. **Thanks go to Rapidlywild** for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated.

I enjoyed finding this one at 12:10:21 PM with 6yo geo-kid.
TFTC! Cheers. *Jump Pilot*

The blackberries are certainly thriving, tftc

Dam

TFTC grabbed while on a trip to the green shed

After being stuck inside for 2 days (torrential rain!) we decided a nice easy day of caching was in order. We chose Callum Brae and surrounds since we knew the ground would be soggy and didn't want to tackle any big hills today! We had to leave The Woofer at home, but enjoyed the strangely warm weather (both just wearing t-shirts!) and had some fun finds.

A nice easy find. TFTC!

Log has been replaced with a fresh book. Cache on

Since we were driving by today, we thought we would stop and collect a couple of caches along the road here. We have collected some in this series in the past, and love the way you have honoured your original home city.
Thanks Rapidlywild,

Domsky

Was driving past (only because I had been at the earlier event, taken a detour to try for a first find on my way to next thing - missed out on both - someone beat me to the new cache and while I was there I got a message to say the thing I was on my way to was no longer on - lol) so ... I decided seeing I now had a spare afternoon ... well, I have things I should be doing, but poking around in the shop at the tip, and stopping for a few caches on my way home is much more fun
I stopped for another in this series, found that, noticed I was parked in a good spot to walk in to the bush and grab another, found that, and decided it was probably just as easy to walk straight to this one and then back to the car
I found the spider web (face first before I found the cache - lol
TFTC - always good to get smileys on a different part of the map
btw, log is very soggy ... my pen sort of mostly worked ... it doesn't seem to be warm enough for it to be drying out much while I sit behind the bush and type this on my phone ...

Out and about with CAD - being from Darwin we had this series on our list to complete! We lived in Karama in the early eighties when it was a new suburb... Thanks for the series that reminds us of home

Found on a trip to Queanbeyan with the Bug 6th

A quick find inbetween traffic. Log still absolutely soaked, can't write on it at all. I blame the huge spider who's web I walked through to get to the GZ for leaving it exposed to the weather! TNLN TFTC

Cache was found lying in the open on the grass. While container seems ok, the logbook inside probably needs replacing as it's saturated. I put the container back under the log that I believe is the right spot.

While working in Darwin, only tended to stay in the centre, so never got out to Karama. Found this cache to keep my calendar streak going. In fact, I actually found the cache lying in the open - almost trod on it. I first tried to check the wooden log (or what I thought was the appropriate log), by clearing some blackberries and long grass - a bit hidden now. Anyway, the cache is now back under the log, but the other log (the one to write on) is sodden and a bit smelly. I have left the log pad out of the plastic bag to give it a bit of air, albeit still in the container. Great series. TFTC Rapidlywild

We are claiming this one although we couldn't quite get to it due to numbers of orb spinner spiders that barred the way with their webs. Lucky we had a good torch to see them all as we tried both approaches.

Loving the series. TFTC

Pity road is so busy today. TFTC.

One last find before heading off to the school. Had to check that spot twice before spotting it!

Thanks

Found with O319. TFTC!

Quick find with Justjessie.

Be nice to hear from you.... Tftc good hide but not good enough

#5432 @1740
After walking around, up, down, and over Mt Taylor, I headed home via this series. All but one easily found. TFTC, and helping me learn more about this country.

TFTC another quick find

Thanks for the cache!

The third of three in this neat series that I picked up on the way home from work. Managed to avoid the thornies and left a green bug. TFTC!

Swung by this one after work for the nightly daily.

Quick find at night with not a muggle in sight! [:O)]

Thanks for the hide, Rapidlywild

Crystal Warrior and I were out for a drive and cruised by. A nice easy find. Thanks Rapidlywild.

Found with TheCrabLord.

Found with Doll.face

To nice a day to stay indoors. TFTC.

Another Darwin done. Might have to plan a trip there to use this knowledge. TFTC Rapidlywild.

Hey hi great fast find love it the ewoks say tftc ? ? ? ?

Found 3-5-2015 AFTER event cache on this busy road.
Blackberries are starting to spread around this cache.

Apologies for the late log. I find this one on a list that I had neglected to enter. Thank for the hunt and the cache.

Avoided the manic last-minute traffic heading into the tip and found this cache. Cache and contents were strewn around near gz but all important parts were intact. Signed log, reassembled cache and replaced hopefully in the intended location. TFTC, Rapidlywild

It took a little while for Gumby Maca and I to zone in so we read the hint and all was well TFTC.

[green]On a hunt for a bird cage - that's what took [purple]Binni[green] and I down this way, and hey - a bunch of handy caches to console us for not finding that cage [^] I was totally oblivious to my surrounds, then [purple]Binni[green] mentioned a prickly weed to dodge... oops! No fear, cache located and log signed - [blue]thanks for the cache Rapidlywild

Managed to pull off the road just and a quick scramble to GZ. TFTC Rapidlywild

~4:00pm found with KCSunshine after work.
Ive driven past this one twice now (with traffic up my behind) and now I know why. This is where there is one of those holes in the space/time continuum and our phone GPSr's were flipping all over the place. But there was really only one place it could be and then hurruh, we saw a log (no blackberries though). Thanks for another quick one Rapidlywild

8879 and 5th of 17 found today.[font=Verdana] [Green] A quick find while the Saturday tribal excursions to the mound of mould was taking place. [/Green]


Thanks for the cache [Blue]Rapidlywild[/Blue] and the click. [font=Verdana]

There sure are blackberries, I love eating them. Cache soon located, duties done. I also love NT. TFTC

2:37:00 PM: (7 of 10) Find#9734
hitting the NT series finally while I have some time and a car this afternoon, probably busier on weekend anyway.

Came the long way, but managed to avoid the thorns.

Thanks for the cache Rapidlywild

Yummmm blackberries !!

Evaded thorns and found cache

TFTC

2015 marks a new year and a relaxed approach to caching, so when this one came up unexpectedly on the car GPS as I drove past I decided to stop. The hint threw me off as the blackberries were all around the tree. After that it was an easy find.

Lucky I stopped since a phone call put paid to the rest of the afternoon's caching plans.

After my first lesson in driving, I decided to come out here and grab a couple. This one was the next one and final one as the weather was getting worse. I parked close to GZ and then made my way over to GZ where a quick find was made. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC Rapidlywild!

Mmmmmm! Blackberries! TFTC.

We didn't intend to do the NT series when setting out this morning but once started it isn't seem right to stop.

Finishing the series Ta.

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 Rapidlywild

Out for some early morning caching before the family pulls themselves out of bed. A quick and easy find. Thanks Rapidlywild
