Logs
I signed the log for this challenge back in August while on a Canberra caching trip with Kolour.I have the first 2 cars across the finish line ? 1 x Mega1000 x Trads5 x Letterbox20 x Earthcache5 x CITO500 x microThanks Rapidlywild for the challenge and the cache.
I've been looking at this challenge on and off over the years and finally we qualify for all 6 cars. I've attached photos showing all qualifying statistics except the flashmob (I promise we've attended a couple up in Queensland at a few Q.O.G.M events) and the distance from home info. That can be seen or inferred from these photos, though.Thanks for find #6468TNLN
Kolour and I organised a long weekend in Canberra to catch up with the great Domsky duo. Of course there was much caching to be done!Log signed for this challenge.Thanks Rapidlywild for the cache and challenge.
Im visiting Canberra from Brisbane with Willis007 for a long weekend with Domsky, targeting mainly oldies and challenges. This is my first time geocaching in the ACT. Domsky was busy today so we hired a car to finish off finding our target caches, this being one of them. A lot of bounce but after a few minutes, found and SL
We used alternative adjusted coords and walked right to it.Finally catching up on challenges and I found that the only thing that I don't qualify for in all the items is the Flashmob. Everything is can be seen on my project-gc stats.Thanks for the challenge!
Signed with Tardis however do not currently qualify. Will Log once qualified/past the finish line.
Whoo hoo, we get to the chequered flag in the blue & maroon speed machines. I think all requirements should be checkable from our profile. Msg me if not. Thanks for the challenge & the find.
Get your motor running..this challenge reminded me of an Atari game I was obsessed with called Grand prix . Quirky Challenge cache located and signed back in Dec 23..I qualify successfully getting the Blue, green, red and orange cars over the line see attached photo for stats..Missed out on yellow car as I'm yet to attend a flash mob. In Melbourne they tend to have them on the witching hour when I like to sleep..And the Marron car is a technical issue with the 2 countries that I would like to claim properly..
Longest Streak656 consecutive days with finds from 5.9.2015 to 21.6.2017stopped counting when i hit over 100 FTF'sphoto's attached on sizes and typesFound with Mogni. Myself and mogni are headed off to canberra on the " I missed the Capital GeoBash Mega " holiday, since last minute family problems came in to play and we had to adjust our plans by a few weeks. On the way over we targeted multi's, wherigo's and puzzles to make sure we had 25 in each or at least close to that total ( or more ) as possible, getting as many new New South Wales LGA's as possible, the 17th most favourite point NSW cache and every cache size in New South Wales.In the ACT it was getting 2 of the 5 oldest letterboxes, oldest wherigo in Australia, 2nd oldest earthcache ( with a side trip to get the oldest earthcache of course ), and ACT oldest cache too. I also hosted a CITO and planned on getting every different cache type i could and eevry different cache size as well. I also needed 9 more virtuals this trip to get my virtual count over 100. Finally canberra was far enough away from from house to complete the well aged well travelled cacher 0 to 1000 kms with a cache every 10 km's ( i only need 7 more caches to complete )Leaving the ACT it was going via Victoria to get there last active web cam cache and slowly getting a total of 20 finds in each LGA i passed through if i had enough time plus also hosting a CITO in Victoria as well. A busy 11 days. Trust me by the end of the holiday you would have thought the 6 meter ladder weighed more than 13 kg's to amount of times it was used or carried up hills or over creeks. If your cache was found with a broken container/lid it was replaced or if the log was full it was replaced or a extra log if the container was big enough ( except for nano's, do your own maintenance on nano's.
Found after attending the Mega. Outnabout with MeandDe. A great day out. Another great day for caching. TFTC RapidlywildChallenge requirements met on every line.
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Out pottering around the suburbs picking off a few more caches. With very little sunshine spotting any hanging or fishing caches had a higher difficulty than normal today.Clear weather, glad it wasnt Friday's forecast 40mm of rain. We can get all 6 racecars across the finish line.TFTC Rapidlywild
00:13April Fools/Easter Monday...OK, technically the next day, but whatever.After returning from a Star Wars mail run, n0w0rries headed off to bed, while I wandered back to my car, and a few more caches before finding somewhere to sleep.Of course that meant more Challenges.Thanks, Rapidlywild.This took some finding in the dark... the GPS bounced all over the place here, but a clue from Riddell about distances meant I found the container in a spot that I'd suspected but missed on the first sweep.I'll get around to running checkers eventually.
Canberra Geobash Road Trip 2024. Day Seven: Deep Space tour at Tidbinbilla, with a few targetted caches either side. A DNF redemption for me.Being a rev head from way back, I more than qualify for this challenge, with only one square missing.Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Rapidlywild ??~????????~
This Easter has been an adventure with a mega wedding, volcano eruption, witch hunt and tour of the deep space station!Found after the CITO and it was an exhilarating cache description page!!
Well it is Canberra Geobash Mega time and Im spending 6 nights up here on the Mega site and also the ACT has put on some brilliant weather for us so far during the day.Well it is day 4 for me and it was a very fresh and chilly start to the morning for the 5am event.Back to the Mega site for a coffee then I was going to start with finding a few Virtuals for a challenge cache.Left site as the sun was coming up to beat the crowds.After spending a fair bit of the morning around the lake and surrounds collect Virtuals, then it was trek up Mt Painter to find a few more plus Canberras first in the afternoon now it is time for the CITO.After the CITO Team GPORk reformed and soon became GPPORK.We noticed this one and after checking I realised that I could get 5 out of 6 cars across the finishing line.NZ later on the year for their Mega will get the last car across the line.Thanks Rapidlywild TFTC.
During our weeks trip with Bare Foot Guru, Infoferret and Trinity to the Canberra Mega we logged as a combination of "BFG, CF, BIC, BITC" depending on who we were caching with at the time. The trip took us on a flight to Melbourne first, then a drive to Canberra, followed by a drive to Sydney before flying out again. Where possible I will add commentary to each find about the cache. Thanks for all the caches, hides and effort put into hiding and maintaining them.Terrain should be 1.5 as not quite wheelchair accessible. Managed to meet all the lines in the Challenge. Quick and easy find.
Day #7 Geobashing We were off to the Deep Space Tour today as well the CITO so targeted specific Canberra caches along the way with OzHockeyChick, kristysadventures, papi4506 and GeoTurtle37. Redeeming a previous DNF here! We now have a stutter and are GPPORKA big thanks goes to Rapidlywild for taking the time to add CHALLENGE: Rev Heads Unite to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Looking for caches to find when visiting Victoria?

*** draft log for stats tracking, more later ***GC5K1RB CHALLENGE: Rev Heads Unite1 April 2024T18:21:51 AEDTTFTC RapidlywildFound after a few minutes searching, using rough versions of GZ and Terrain
After checking, I meet 4 of the car lines, so it's a found for today. Thanks!
In a race with icybeetas and managed to cross the line in a dead heat.Thanks for the cache with a difference, enjoyed on a day out from the MEGA during Easter.
Found out and about with DazRascal.We could get all the cars across the line but Orange! He blew a tyre before getting to 100 days of caching in a row ??Coords had us bouncing and could see plenty of searching in places where it didnt match the terrain. Came up with the cache a few metres from where our pointer said to go in good order. Thank for the challenge and cache, cheers!
Found with gwd.aussie while up for the Canberra GeoBash. I love a good challenge so with log signed I hope to follow up with qualifying log in due time. Thanks Rapidlywild
The GPS had me a bit too far off the street, than where the cache hide was found.Lucky d@geo found it instead of going bush to far.Signed the log today, will check soon to see if I qualify.Just need to catch up on live and cache logging first.Out caching with D@geoThank for the hide Rapidlywild
The cache was a quick find and on checking I feel sure that I have every car across the line. Thank you for the challenge and the cache.
Hi, Im greencordial and I approve of your cache, however, I may or may not have qualified as I cant drive, locate caches for my incompetent passenger BenM70, navigate, look cool and breathe all at the same time so I will check later when I get home. Kudos
Found during the Mega event in Canberra over the Easter long weekend. Our team comprised courtneyrose_, Davidwazza, e.gregory1, Featherwaite, Freddo, gridge98 and Team Waldron, signing the logs as ABP to save time and space in the logbooks , or with our individual caching names. Enjoyed a great weekend away finding a rewarding range of cache types, d/t combinations, cache hides and retrievals. Very happy to say that the challenge requirements were met at every level. Thanks for the challenge and cache Rapidlywild!
I'm glad I searched the area up top, rather than get down to look at the base of the wall.For qualifying, I haven't done the orange car, but I've probably done all the rest.
I am so very excited to log this Challenge cache. I have been diligently working my way towards qualifying thanks to the help of my partner dalerious . Thank you Rapidlywild . My stats page will show that I have ticked all the combinations in the starting grid.
[Freddo] checked to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.All six cars crossed the line. Bingo.The trip bit.Easter geocaching festival of twenty twenty four. This time it is the turn of Oz Mega GeoBash MEGA event in the nation's capital. It is time for a road trip across country to Canberra in the Sporty Pajero Sports. Freddo and Gridge98 traveling from Adelaide via a strange inland route that takes in scenic rural locations, dusty roads, punctured tyres, overheating batteries, various tools of the trade, special campgrounds, and lots scope for many many geocaching finds. Along the way we saw running emus, jumping kangaroos, wandering deer, dead foxes, herds of wooly sheep and stray steers.Arriving in Canberra we met our colleagues e.gregory1, featherwaite, team walron, courtney rose, davidwazza, e_smilie, and georode, signing as ABP, plus a huge group of other like minded excited mega geocachers attending event after event, and more events.Day one. Adelaide to Broken HillDay two. Broken Hill to WellingtonDay three. Wellington to CowraDay four. Cowra to BathurstDay five. Bathurst to CanberraDay six. Canberra to CanberraDay seven. Canberra to QueenbeeyanDay eight. Canberra to AdelaideThe generic bit.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

Found on our journey over the week here.This weekend was mega weekend and we headed over with Courtneyrose_ Freddo, Team Waldron, e.gregory1, Davidwazza and Featherwaite as part of our team called: ABP (Alphabet People), the log books were either signed with the name, ABP or our individual caching names.A great weekend away in the capital and a very well organised mega, it was nice to be back in the ACT caching once again over easter with great weather.Thanks for the cache
Found during the Easter GeoBash. Signed as ABP.I qualify for all but 1 square, FTFs are not my thing.TFTC
MEGA weekend was finally upon us and catnap777 and I were on a mission to pluck the eyes out of Canberra chasing high and rare D/T combos that aided immensely in our FIZZY Grid aspirations. ??By the end of Easter, we had both added another 3 loops to each of our accounts. ??This one was found in a MUCH nicer spot after spending unnecessary time at the waste transfer station. Note to self..... Read the cache page!!! Doh!! Anyway, it turns out that both catnap777 and I do qualify for this racey challenge and the only spot I couldn't fill was to have cached in 2+ countries. TFTC Rapidlywild.
A quick and easy find here after discovering we had qualified for this four times. Thanks for the fun
#1817Super excited to be attending GeoBash shenanigans this weekend with my Welder kids and puppy free thats the way we like it! Having been up here 18 months ago we had a fairly good idea what we were going to target this time tick some boxes in some more challenges, pick up some new surrounding LGAs, target some oldies and find some new shiny ones! Thanks to all involved in Mega for putting such a great event and also for ordering the perfect weather! Thanks for the cache! Qualifying image attached.
Found and qualified with Heymissjo.This container took some unearthing at the calculated coordinates. The prickles and litter added a certain vibe to the hint that lead to researching past logs for guidance. Thanks to Hurtle for providing accurate coords. Once we went with them, it was discovered in seconds.I meet all 15 requirements and was able to get all 5 cars over the line.Photo supplied.Thanks for the smiley.
Thankfully someones log said 8m west spot on!Pass all criteria as required All cars crossed over the finish line. Thanks for the cache.
*In the area with woolwood9 attending the MEGA Event.* ????We cached from Sydney to Canberra, then after the MEGA, up through Yass, Cowra and Bathurst to return to Sydney.We had a great 3 weeks and enjoyed finding many good caches. ????SL *tm/ww NZ* or found and signed with the group at site.*Thank you for putting this Challenge cache out for us to visit*I have all but one line in the challenge as I have not been a big streak-er!

Hi Rapidlywild, visited your cache CHALLENGE: Rev Heads Unite to sign the logbook but looks like I am not qualified to write Found It log on geocaching.com. Looks like I have a goal to work towards.
Well, for someone that has not bothered to do anything geocaching related for a while I seem to be going out of the way to do Mega events. This particular caching trip was the brainchild of the other participant in this little excursion, that being greencordial. I flew into Toowoomba this morning hoping that the car gremlins had departed (they hadnt, but were sorted with another quick mechanical visit) and we were on our ways to Canberra. Fingers crossed Thanks again Hurtle. Most of my cars crossed the line here. Thanks Rapidlywild for placing this Mystery for me to convert into a smilie
Pretty sure I qualify for all of them, but I can't account for 3 of them from the info on my stats page...well, I couldn't see the info. That would be 100km from home, flash mob, and the countries I've cached in. Oh! And FTFs. I hope the stats page screenshot is enough. TFTC
Bashed around a bit without the correct coords. Left some dna. Finally heard those priceless words. Found it and signed the ROOS on log. Ill check on my stats later.
I am qualified: photo of my stats attached:1st car:4 MEGA, +6000 trads, +120 letterboxes2nd car:+100 earth caches, 19 CITOs, +3600 microsThanks for the different challenge!We signed the log during our MEGA stay.Tftc Rapidlywild
Yippee I qualify for this challenge.Rapidlywild thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for enjoyment of the caching community.I can get 5 car across the line. They are Blue, Green, Red, Yellow and Orange.
#7398Happy Australia Day!Were in the ACT for the weekend, filling grid squares and finding fun caches, usually in trees! An early start in Mittagong and a car full of TOTTs and hopes are high for a great day.Nice challenge we qualified quite easily - my son posted our grid above - we only missed one square, those streaks.... between school and work and a low cache density home area, big streaks just don't happen.Cache found about 8m west. We even pried up the sub soil access plates!Thanks for the cache!
#7398Day 2/4 of our Australia Day caching weekend. Happy Australia Day! Mittagong -> CanberraToday is our first full day of caching, driving from Mittagong to Canberra and grabbing whatever we can along the way, then spending the next 2 nights in Canberra! Targetting good DTs, trees, cool types, and whatever else we decide on! After widening our search a fair bit the cache was found, quals added later.TFTC Rapidlywild
Christmas Eve Geocaching Trip For the first time ever, I have had a chance to go geocaching on Christmas Eve. When I saw that there was an event in Canberra, I decided to head there for a day trip. So, apart from the event, my other reason for going was so I could make 1000 finds (or more) for the year of 2023 because I am so close. Guess what, I ended today with 1003 and the year isnt finished yet! Today, I decided on finding the UGC caches that I qualify for and a couple of multis before heading over to the event. Once at the event, all talk Geo was had as well as a few other things. Soon we were on our way to find some other caches around the lake. Soon enough it was time to head home. TB visit on all found caches. Unless stated otherwise, the caches were found in good condition and were quick finds. TB visit. A big thanks to the CO for adding this cache to game for the Geocaching community to enjoy. TFTE & TFTCs! I qualify with three cars, crossing over the line. They are:1. Blue Car:- Attend 1+ OZ Mega's: *3 Attended*- 1000+ Traditional Finds: *Found 2251*- 5+ Letterbox Finds: *Found 67*2. Green Car:- 20+ EC finds: *Found 25*- Attend 5+ CITO's: *39 Attended*- 500+ Micro size finds: *Found 1002*3. Red Car:- 250+ Mystery Caches: *325 Finds*- 100+ finds more then 100km from home: *2273 Total*- Attend 10+ Event (Non CITO): *73 Total*
After my morning paddle, it was time to grab a few more challenge caches as my time in Canberra was running out. This was one of the challenge caches on my list that I managed to find and sign. Qualifying log to follow in due time. Took a few minutes to find had to go back over past logs to find different coordinates and more information. It's a good thing I didn't jump down to investigate that rock wall
I was over this side of town to visit the caravan show. So while here decided to grab at least one.I'm pretty sure I qualify for all but the last line.See attached photo of my stats,Nice work

CaptainVimes and I are on a driving holiday from Melbourne to Canberra this week. I have signed the log. I will have to check to see whether I qualify. Thanks for the challenge Rapidlywild
Today was my last day in Canberra and I was picked up nice and early for a caching day with The Green Geckos. She had a plan of caches to collect and I was just following along. It did not matter where we went as they are all new to me, lol.
First was an early start and drive up to the Telstra tower. Here was a virtual and a couple of challenge caches and around a ways was a whole series of challenge caches. We signed the logs where required and answered questions or took pics where required.
We meet up with the Domsky’s and walked a trail for a nice rainy walk. Then we proceeded to grab a few fun tree fishing or tree climbing caches. It was then a final event of Roddyc’s before a drive to the airport. An adventure lab and a virtual awaited me there. There is So much to see and do in Canberra.

Qualified, having completed Rows 3 and 5 (details below, and images attached) to get their drivers across the line. I think we finished Row 3 first so they won the race for us.
We found munzee near GZ (not into that craze but still). No issues with the cache although coordinates had us 5-6m away from its true location. A timely log given the (formerly V8) Supercars are back on for the year from this weekend.

I was originally going to be in Temora for the weekend for the War Birds air show, but a little too much rain had the event cancelled, and as I had the leave booked I ventured up from SW Victoria to visit my son in Young.
On the way home I stopped to try my hand at a few caches with attractive D/T ratings.
Headed over here to make a purchase I had intended to do in Shepperton, but as teh predicted flood peak was today I gave that area a wide birth.
This one took a while to locate but eventually located after widening my search radius.
All car but the last one over the line
Thanks Rapidlywild

Day three and final day of the drive home to Lara/Geelong after a crazy rush to Queensland to get my kids to a conference on time because of Jestar multi cancellations. The kids flew home and Mr Dromaniax flew up to dive home with me caching all the way.
Spending the night in Canberra this morning we were keen grab some key D/T caches before hitting the freeway.
We had so many caches on our to do list we had to be ruthless on which ones we attacked or we won't make it home tonight.
It took us quite a while to find with the coords leading us astray for some time. Eventually a bit of cache logic I had the find in my hand.
All our cars made it across the line with plenty of room to spare
5 MEGA, 3637 Traditional Finds, 100 Letterbox finds
85 Earthcache Finds, 32 CITOs, 1735 Micros
1043 Unknown Finds, 1140 Caches 100km+ from home, 102 Events
4 Flashmobs, 38 Virtuals, 2118 smalls
381 Multicache finds, 1213 Regulars; we have cached in England, Turkey and Australia
153 Larges, 366-day streak, 475 FTF.
Thank you Rapidlywid for the challenge

On the third and final day of Sims_family and Dromaniax trek back from the Gold Coast. After a big day yesterday caching in two states, picking up seven large caches and two caches hidden in 2000, today was a mission to find as many higher D or T caches as possible. It is a very targeted day of caching.
After a hearty breakfast at a great little cafe and bumping into the Member for Maribyrnong and Minister for the NDIS, we headed out to grab some smileys.
The only one of the criteria we don't meet is the flashmob requirement. So we manage to get five of the cars across the line.
We have
1 MEGA, 1464 Traditional Finds, 78 Letterbox finds
116 Earthcache Finds, 13 CITOs, 680 Micros
454 Unknown Finds, 1,063 Caches 100km+ from home, 27 Events
137 Multicache finds, 396 Regulars; we have cached in NZ and Australia
93 Larges, 553-day streak, 37 FTF.
We found the cache a bit away from the coordinates in excellent condition.

Down from the cenny coast for a solo novo geocaching trip in the first week of January - a great way to start the year I say. I'd decided to specifically hit Yass and CBR for a few days. I'm heading back home this morning but picking up a couple (including this one) on the way out.
Rev Heads nearby (Summernats is on) but not here? SL at 9.45am. Thanks to Hurtle for tip in previous log for coords. For evidence of qualification, please see below image. TFTC and challenge, Rapidlywild.

Muggle65 and are grabbing a few challenges today. Got a few cars across the line but the one pic attached shows the top two lines done. Thank you for a fun challenge
Well, like many others before me, I spent an inordinate amount of time searching for this one with the CO's words ringing in my ears... "The cache hide is NOT supposed to be hard." . Eventually finding it in a non-accessible for a wheelchairs spot for a T1 rating. Cache creep?
If you -0.453 from South and +0.010 to East, then it may be easier for future finders.
Anyways, I qualify with all 6 cars over the line, the stats of which are easily obtainable at project-gc.

Back visiting Canberra for a couple of days before we head to Brisbane.
Today we thought we would target the UGC caches, but this one was also on our list.
Some years ago when we looked at this one, we had dismissed it since it seemed so far out of our range.
To get a car “across the line” looked almost impossible for us.
We must have been chipping away bit by bit, and expanding our geocaching horizons, as we discovered today upon checking, that we have 5 of the 6 cars cross the line with success.
What a lovely surprise, and a reminder that time and variety, along with various challenges have got us there.
Today, we were back in Canberra and this was the final find for us on the day.
After the long drive, our car was definitely heading to CostCo petrol, but not without stopping here first.
After a bit of searching and expanding our location just a little to an obvious place, we had our name in the log.
Cool! We are racing car drivers!
Thanks RapidlyWild. A FP here.

I am happy to say that I have driven all 6 cars across the finish line and got the checkered flag.
However, under the current Lockdown rules, I am "all Revved up and no place to go".
I will have to wait till I get the the green flag or green light to Go!Go!Go!

We fulfill the challenge:
1. we visited the MEGA at Dayboro, we have 7329 Traditional Caches and 308 Letterboxes
2. we found 555 Earthcaches, attended 17 CITOs and found 7127 Micro Caches.
We had searched here in vain some month ago and as all the others could find it, we came here once more and couldn't find it again. Then we sent a message to a friend who had found it before and he gave us a hint, so we've found it at last.

With today’s wet, cold weather our long hike has been postponed till Sunday. We instead shopped then picked up a handful of easy caches Northside before heading home early afternoon. Qualified a while back but on got around to the find today due to the bad weather. Quick and easy find. TFTC Rapidlywild.
Noticed I had completed this challenge, namely the Blue car and Maroon Car.

Searched everywhere but was unable to come up with the goods today.
Looked all through bushes and on both the upper and lower levels for a good 25mins and was unable to find this cache . Thanks anyway for the hunt.

Out tonight with Aquilus1 and as I wanted to finish off a near by AL stop that I missed we were going right past here so picked it up too. Tftc Rapidlywild!!!

Thought this might be a good cache to go for while Summernats is (not really) on.
I qualify for the yellow car only
4 Flash Mobs
553 small finds
5 virtuals
Thinking of adding welding gloves to my TOTTs given the state of the current vegetation. Coords were a little out and after battling the Lomandra (also called SPINY headed Mat-rush), thistles and other thorny stuff, I asked some friends if I was looking in the right direction.
Eventually found.
Will add photo of credentials when I get home.

I've been meaning to pick up this for a while. Today I was passing on the bike, so it was easy to stop and have a look. Searched in a few more difficult places before expanding the area a little and finding the cache in a much easier spot. Just checking, I get the blue, red and yellow cars across. I really need to get my CITO's up (which is also stopping me from doing the UGC series). A nice spot here.
Thanks,

Needed a mystery cache today so detoured past here on the way home.
Thankfully it was all dry after a storm blew through less than an hour ago.
I qualify for all but the one with 2 countries as a requirement but will add stats for the first two.

Found today while out and about in Harrison and on checking found that I now qualify for all cars. Nice to have a different type of challenge and good to review how far I have come. Tftc
After just over 60km on the ebike this morning chasing smilies I was rounding up a few more targets in the geomobile.
Pretty sure I qualify for most of the cars. Top and bottom would be the two I do not.
