TFTC - WesternSydWanderer spotted this and was prepared to brave the spiders

Found after I plucked up courage and filled the hint. TFTC.

Couldnt find. Had to give up.

Great cache, thought it was here for a bit but was a bit scared of spiders

Found on a school trip with all the year 5 and 6 kids from Boulia State School! A lot of their first finds! TFTC

Thank you, we found it!

??????????

Quick early morning find. Been past this spot countless times so good to finally collect the cache here. A familiar container from the CO here, holding up well. Log signed and then onwards. Thanks Tankengine! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country on which we geocache throughout Australia and their long lasting, and ongoing connections to land, sea and community. We (the pants people) pay our respects to Traditional Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Bisoutje and I are on a roadtrip with a campervan between Cairns and Adelaide and have now touched ground in the capital Canberra.We scheduled for 1 full day here to be able to see and experience the city. It was a cold day but the many interesting Geocaches we found during the day made up for it. We saw many interesting buildings and enjoyed walking through several parks and along the river. This was a quick find.TFTC!

Today I was going to try and make a big indent on the caches needed for Geosportz. The Olympics are half over and I have only made a quarter of the claims that are on offer. Unfortunately things didn't work out quite as planned. With 9 caches on the list I started well but #2,#3 and #5 were all DNFs. Thank goodness things then improved but I admit that I then avoided some COs caches.This obviously was not one that deserves a DNF. so many thanks TE for placing and maintaining this cache. TNLN SL

Being English and being asked to "just reach in" was a bit daunting with the crazy insects you have here, but Mr morepork man to the rescue! TFTC

Thank you.

We thought we might have to get wet!!

Great wee cache. Found with the assistance of my pal Harry.

An easy find while walking to the museum on a chilly winters day. TFTC

Thank you good spot

Thanks

Nice scenic spot, close to car parking. Perfect spot to have a cache right before doing the bridge to bridge walk around LBG! Thanks for placing.

Gotta love a straightforward cache. Only delay was having to wait for a clear time from muggles.There was a bit of a break in the cold spell today and the sun was out much earlier and things warmed up, even though the temperature only got to 13 degrees. We had been keen to ride our bikes round Lake Burley Griffin so today was the day. We only made it to the Farmer's Market on our first attempt then had to return to the van with our purchases!With that done it was back out to firstly catch the tram into town and then the ride round the lake. On our way round we picked up a variety of caches, trads, multis, puzzles and quite a number of Virtuals. Some were straightforward while others challenging.Lunch at the National Portrait Gallery was welcome. We made it home just as the sun was settingThank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Tankengine.**SKI Pair****

Thanks

Thanks again

Not too hard if your not afraid of spiders

Nice find on a beautiful May morning!

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Back in Canberra for ANZAC day. With a late morning start we were on the bikes through EPIC to the light rail then the plan was to ride between the bridges of Lake Burley Griffin but alas too many caches and too little time so another day at least to finish that task. Bit of a breeze today so whilst sunny it was still a little cool. some lengthy search didnt help with our time management. We saw at least 2 school groups cycling around the lake, lucky for us they were going the other way, whilst we were stopped having lunch. TFTC Tankengine

Easy find. Managed to open and sign log. Great container. TFTC

Nice and easy!TFTC

Finding your cache Enjoyed there, Tankengine, thank you so much for placing it.

Easy find but at least a level 1.5 not 1

Catching up on some late logs when attending the Geobash Mega in Canberra. Took the opportunity to explore the many sights in and around Canberra and grabbed this one along the way.Grabbing a few last find ones before leaving this area. Was in city early this morning and loved the ride about on the scooter. This was an easy enough find once at GZ.Thanks Tankengine for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

Found it with Deaf Team

2/4/2024 Find #6974The final day in Canberra for KBreeAHH, Captain Terror and me, and we were going to pack it with caching before handing the hire car back and relaxing in the lounge at the airport. Having been up as far as Murrumbateman and then Yass this morning, we were now back down in Canberra for our final caches. We had decided to do a walking circuit around here to complete our mission. We were almost back at the car now but had just a couple of caches left to grab. This was a quick grab for our penultimate cache before heading to car. Thanks for the cache Tankengine.

You have some awesome containers fav point for it not being a mint tin while I meander around too windy to stick by the water for too long.

Got it TFTC

Found during the Mega event. Tankengine, thank you so much for placing it for everyone to enjoy and highlighting this area.

Over here for Capital GeoBash Mega. The first of many daytime hidden caches all over the city - after the Mega event (closing ceremony). A fantastic Easter Monday. TFTC

We heard about a Mega in Canberra a year ago. Having never been to the big capital, we booked our accommodation and the planning began.Which caches shall we do? Wow they really love their mystery caches in ACT! Ok, we need to get our thinking caps on and solve some of these puzzles pronto. We have made the trek from Adelaide to be here and appreciate the efforts of all those involved to make the Capital Geobash happen. We have hired bikes to ride around the lake today.

As part of the tour group, we walked a ton of miles and signed all the caches as LT2.This was a quick find, just the way we like 'em. That's probably because the CO was our group leader. He really kept us moving. Thank you for the smiley and the fun!The day:Today was day 3 of my time in Canberra for the GeoBash Mega from the U.S. and getting to spend time with my friends. Hooray! It was another day that started with an awesome tour around Lake Burley Griffin. The weather was warm and the cachers were friendly. We were led by tankengine, one of the cachers who had a hand in the gadget caches at the mega, has awesome mysteries and other caches in the area. He kept us moving the entire time and we were able to get all the caches on our list.Then I attended the mega which was a lot of fun. There were so many people! The gadget caches were amazing, the adventure labs were fun, and the evening get together for trivia was a blast.Many thanks to all the geocachers who placed and continue to maintain their geocaches for folks like me to find. I know it's not always easy, but know that I appreciate you.

Day 5 of our Capital Geobash mega-holiday, and first up for us this morning was to join the tour of Lake Burley Griffin, led by our wonderful guide Tankengine. This tour was heaps of fun, and all caches signed as LT2. A nice quick find here, nearly at the end of the tour now. TFTC Tankengine.
