After a number of FTF on this side of Canberra, I decided to get some more of the Greenway caches in the area. I had my gators on so a relaxed and enjoyable walk in nature followed.Quick find, nice cache, all in good order. Thank you bubble & squeak for putting the cache out, maintaining it and contributing to this great hobby we have. Happy trails, Flintstone's
Found it on good condition. A little hidden by falling debris. Thanks Bubble and Squeak for the cache.Luckily, I didn't run into a Komodo dragon.
On a short trip out to Sutton between dropping the geodaughter at work and picking her up. Aquilus1 & I managed a few out of the way caches on the way.

A short trip out into the Gunning area with GreyHams for a CC Event and a little local caching to fill the time we had. Managed a few caches in the Bywong area which were long overdue to visit, and even a little cache maintenance.
Thanks for your cache! Found okay as we walked past

Out for a look at the Greenspaces around Bywong. Initially thought why would it be placed here in view of a property and then I looked at in from another angle and it all became clear. TNLNSL. A favourite point for you!
I came out to Bywong to check out some more of the Greenway trails. Lovely place to take a walk. Cache in good condition. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache bubble & squeak
A very quick find and sign as we discover the roads and trails of Bywong, Womboin and Bungendore today. TFTC
Stopped and grabbed this one while driving around with my daughter clocking up learner driver hours. TFTC b&s.
TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
Attending the Clear Water 2019 mega this Easter in Queanbeyan. Apologies for the generic log but we have found too many to compose individual logs. Many thanks to all the cache owners for their caches, which have been exceptional in their maintenance I have had only 1 dnf and that was only because I was not going to make a tree climb without seeing where the cache was. The vast majority of caches have had very good coordinates. Along with useful hints. TFTC
Good afternoon's drive for a walk in Wombion.
Quick and easy find. TFTC bubble & squeak.

Found on our 2018 mega trip with Roostaman.

Thanks creator...its very close to our house so it was the first one we tried having now started the game. Yahoo Wamboin!
Found it but the case is broken and the contents are wet so couldn’t sign TFTC
Thanks to a course Genghicat is doing we find ourselves away from canberra for the long weekend. While the cat studies away however, I shall play.
Well the greenway is certainly an interesting name for this place. Even the trees are struggling to be green right now and no grass.
Cache found quickly in good condition.

A new area for me but sorry, I didn't get the significance of the name and the Link page was 'unfound'. Nevertheless, I did find the cache although I didn't feel very comfortable being almost in someone's backyard. Nice hide, left a plastic toy, log needs a bit of TLC.
Caching our way home from the geomuster mega. We couldnt resist an extra night on the road and a chance to do more caching. Strolling around the greenway tracks. We were actually aiming for another cache but took the wrong turn and ended up at this one, bit more walking than we had planned on this warm day but always happy to get a smiley and some exercise. Tftc
Went for a drive, ended up here. A small legless lizard scampered away as I lifted the cache. Cache guardian, or maybe a relative? TNLNSL TFTC
Jumped in the car with DarkSideDan, after the 4 months to the event in Alexandria - Canberra event, and we met up with team_lewin at the Lake George viewing area and all jumped in his car and went up to find 2 caches up on the ridge road (one Team Lewin had found, and one he had not) ... road wasn't too bad to the first one, got a bit worse going to the second one, but his 2wd car made it ok without leaving too many scrapes in the tops of the bumps
Then team Lewin headed home! and I headed up with Dan to grab a multi (that I had previously found) at the viewing area then we went and found a few caches around Wamboin, and visited a TB hotel, before heading back for the event at the pizza place in Deakin (after which a few of us went and found a couple more caches ... which I had previously found, but wandering around with other cachers is always fun
TFTC - it was getting late, but we decided we had enough time to stop here and walk in to grab these 3 caches ... grabbed this one first, then headed along for the other 2 nearby. Nice spot for a walk

I was caching here earlier in the morning before picking up a friend nearby but decided to leave the last 4 caches as I was on 2999 finds and wanted to find a puzzle for my milestone.
So after spending the day in the city and fitting in some time to grab cache #3000 I was back in Bywong to drop them off and find a couple more caches before heading home. There was just one more track to hit which had another four caches on it.
A quick find here, thanks B&S

An over cast day and hoping to grab 3 of the caches along this path. A Quick Find was at GZ. TFTC
Found whilst taking a break from the country music at Bungendore. Long way out for just one Cache.Not sure what this Greenway thing is but the sign said not Cars ,So i walked it to the Cache. TFTC
After a few caches along the Lake Road and Bungendore I came over to Wamboin / Bywong to check out some of the Greenways. TFTC.
#4220 - 17:40; The time had arrived for another late afternoon caching run, so I decided to head over to Bywong and a stroll through some of the greenways to collect a few more of this series, plus a couple of others, including this one. Parked the geomobile at the start of the greenway and headed in on foot. Once at GZ it was a quick find and sign, before heading of further along the trail. TFTC bubble & squeak
Found on a nice geocaching drive out towards Lake George - we haven't been geocaching for a while, so it was awesome to get out again. Once we navigated through the streets of Wamboin, we parked at the end of the greenway and walked to GZ for a very quick find. Lovely area. TNLNSL. TFTC B&S!
Driving out to visit my friend who I haven't seen in far too long. Quick few finds around the Greenways on Straya Day. TFTC
A few more caches out here since my last visit. Found a good spot to park and headed in for a quick find.
A nice walk down this track today with a refreshing breeze.
Thanks

Decided to go for a drive and look for some more caches with Nerfwarrior. Getting close to 1000 caches! TFTC!
We needed to take a rainwater tank pump for repair to Bungendore, so took the opportunity to find a few caches in this area. Lots of wattle out, plus some other wild flowers. The coordinates for this cache were spot on. TFTC bubble & squeak.
A nice day for caching. We found several caches in this area. TFTC bubble & squeak.
Plans were made with the FurfacesLL ladies to finish off the Bywong caches we both had remaining. We headed out and the sun was shining and sky was clear. We determined the most appropriate entry and off we went on foot. Didnt take us too long to pick up the last 6 caches we had out here. We did notice a couple of them were out a little in coordinates however not enough to cause finding issues.
Thanks bubble & squeak for placing these caches, lovely area especially on a day like today. and thanks to FFLL ladies for another nice caching day out

The sun was out and so the geomission planned for the day with Rapidlywild was going ahead. Before we accomplished the planned mission we decided to clear this area off first as it seemed we had the same ones to collect from these trails. We had collected the caches along the greenway and decided to head aback to collect this one from another way. So found a park and head up the driveway to GZ and made a quick find.

The sunny day was too good to waste, so I decided a countryside geomission was in order
Parked up on the street and then I was off for the hike around the area. Strolled along the road and came up with the nice easy find.
Thanks for the hide, bubble & squeak

After visiting friends for lunch not far from here, I explored some side roads and walkways to find some caches. A quick find here. TFTC.

On the way east to the coast for a dive trip I decided to venture into the greenways for another cache. Just a short walk for this one and it was nice and quiet early in the morning.
Thanks.

I didn't see any komodos but there are some very strange mushrooms in the area. TFTC bubble & squeak.
9346 + 1058 = 10404. A midday run for some out-lying caches....
After dropping the kids at a party (at the Arboretum) I had a few hours to kill - so off out this direction for a few caches. Parked at the keyhole and walked in - and spotted the terrifying beast out of its Lair ! Crept up and made a careful find hopeful the beast didn't go for me - but all was good. Returned the cache and was off to the next one up the Greenway !
Thanks bubble & squeak ! ! Very Nice !
TNLN - TFTC !!
Cheers....

On my way from Queanbeyan over to the Fed Highway series of caches and remembered this one. A short detour off Sutton road and soon found myself at a familiar parking area. Walked up to GZ and made a quick find and all was good.
Thanks B&S........
Thanks B&S........
Ha ha - very funny. Nice quick find after a short walk. - Needs a new paint job I recon. Thanks B&S.
3876. Yeah, a *FTF* with Tanso. Yes work was a little quiet and she annoyed me enough for us to set off to this one. A very impressive version of a Komodo awaited us and we soon had what we were after.
Thanks B&S for the cache and our little country drive.
