By janssej & muskcat83 on 07-Jul-16. Waypoint GC6N31J

TFTC. We were out and about on this beautiful Spring day driving some of the tracks around Jarrahdale and picking up a few caches along the way. Thanks to the CO's for placing the caches for us to find

Out and about again, after the CITO in Coolbellup, L1.77 and I headed to Jarrahdale and planning to do as much of the Civilisation Series for the rest of the day. In general it was a disappointing day of caching - many of the ones we looked for have disappeared in fires in the last couple of years. We only had a few spares to replace where we saw remnants of caches.Thanks to janssej for the caches we found.********** ********** ********** ********** ********** **********OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024********** ********** ********** ********** ********** **********Head over to Australian Capital Territory for Capital GeoBash MEGA - Canberras first ever Mega Event. Easter 2024 (GC9PNFB): - 5 day event at Canberra Park adjacent to EPIC (Canberra Showgrounds) on the Federal Highway, only 6km from the centre of the city.The mascot for the Mega is Gangles the endemic Gang Gang Cockatoo, a bird you may see or hear while in Canberra.The official website - geobash.ozmega.com.auACT has over 4700 active caches, power trails, and over 100 Lab Adventures. Heaps of challenge caches, hikes for geocaches for all levels of skills and fitness.

After hosting an event in Coolbellup in the morning, we hit the road to complete some of the Civilisation series. Thank you janssej for placing this cache for my enjoyment.

Found it. TFTC janssej & muskcat83. Came back to this area to do a few more of the Civilisation series. Those with multiple DNF's were not visited. Most were reasonable good hides, some proved move difficult than others. There were a few that were in a fire and burnt or scorched. In general a good series, but just needs a little maintenance. thanks for putting them down. Happy to make the find here, all ok here and replaced as found.

This one has definitely not been found for awhile, completely covered in spiderwebs so happy that we found this bad-boy after nearly a year! (according to the written logs!)

Found a travel bug in this one that we will happily send on more travels!

Headed out today to clean up some more of these numerous amazing Civs series. Hubby played the PC version of Civs for years and can picture exactly what each cache would be.... and wasn't disappointed!

Love the effort that has gone into each and every one of these..... always a fan of a themed series!

11th find of 39 with only 2 DNFs of the Tech series, looking forward to coming back for more!

Thank you muskcat83 and janssej for placing Civilisation - Tech Series - Gun Powder for us and others to enjoy!

Today I was in the forest to get a trailer full of fire wood (with Permit ) Driving out of the forest I took the opportunity to finally clear some of these caches.

It had been a while for a most of the finds, but the caches were generally in good condition. Lots of activity around some of the caches locations, but they remained in place

Thanks janssej for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 14:23:00. This was my Find 22 for today out of a Total number of 28 Finds and 3 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 5596.

Clever hide Left a TB TFTC

Another trip out to this area for some more smileys. These series' never seem to end! But so glad it's a beautiful location. TFTC what a lovely old tree!

We arrived at this one just as it was getting dark, so once at gz we searched for about five minutes and then Leega spotted something and sure enough there it was. We added our mark to your log book and returned your cache back to where we found it. TFTC janssej and muskcat83.

Out here with axell33 getting a few caches while we distance ourselves from everyone. This one needed a bit more looking as the area was a little more ‘disturbed’ since the last photo and find in May last year. Happy to say, although it was well hidden, thanks to wild pigs would be guess, though with the fading light it would have been very easy to miss! TYFTC. That’s it for now, but we will be back to continue on...

Will try again

Like most of these, it was a park, walk and grab. The cache size was impressive. TFTC

Today was my CIVILISATION series cache day. I had so much fun doing these but still have a lot more to do. I worked my way up the old Jarrahdale railway (fun after the last few days rain) before heading out to Balmoral Rd. Due to burn offs and fires a few have perished, some salvageable and others are pristine. I had 30 finds and nine frowns.

Out and about picking up a few hides here and there in Civilization land. A bit of a trek from the road but pleased to find another nice sized container.

janssej I found your cache at 11:16am, this was the 5th of 5 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 5989. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Took a drive to Jarrahdale, checked the phone to see if there were any caches and found this one. Not sure why I didn’t pick it up before as I had previously found all the other ones around it. Quick find.
TFTC

Out for a morning of geocaching with headley92 in the jarrahdale area.

All caches found in good condition, and now with our names in the logbook! Thanks to the CO's, for placing and maintaining the caches!

TFTC

Out and about for some geocaching this morning with SPIKE in Jarrahdale. Picking up some caches in the civilisation series we missed from our last visit, very well hidden this one TFTC

Relooked with driftindillons fortunately last log saod it was 78 metres away. Relocated it back tp its original spot.

Found after reading previous activity NOW RELOCATED back to correct coords tyfc.

Found after reading previous activity NOW RELOCATED back to correct coords tyfc.

Searched but dnf, thanks anyway

Found with buttercup380 located near road in wrong place

Found on the way back to the car by auspom67. 78m from where the coordinates point

Dnf found what we thought . Could be but to no avail

Had a good look, no luck TFTC

Looked far and wide but was not to be found today

Looked all around but couldn’t see this one today. Maybe next time

We headed out today to finish off the civilisation series and tackle the finales, our coordinates were jumping a bit but we still had a nice quick find here on a beautiful autumn day TFTC

A nice day out for caching warm but not too warm.

Headed out to civilisation land to grab a few caches we've missed on previous visits. Got three caches in but was a bit worried about snakes with the 80-100m walks into the bush so gave it in after three caches.

Headed down to wellard to meet up with OOH YEH To team up and grab the new critter series in Hillman. Was a rough walk through the area, lots of prickles and alike filling shoes and socks and finding a bunch of micro caches.

Terrain was a bit snakey but all ok and managed to make a find of the final quickly in a bit of an unexpected area. Thanks for the series.

Loved the container.
Out and about in our new 4WD picking up some of the TECH SERIES.
TFTC janssej & muskcat83 this is find # 3490 for us.

Out and about with Barnzy12 on a warm Thursday, secretly waiting for a new series to be published, that didn’t happen however a few caches found TFTH

Day Thirteen of our holiday in Western Oz.
Bettyboo3747 and I went out to Jarrahdale to tackle the Civilization - Tech Series. We have never played the game, but now we can say we have done the geocaching version.
Lots of short walks and cleverly thought out caches.

We looked a bit like gunpowder had gone off after this cache - lots of burnt wood around.
A great sized cache though.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12745. Day 13 of our WA holiday and our 8th day based in Rockingham. Robmc and I decided to head East to Jarrahdale and do some of the Civilisation - Tech Series. We signed the first log at 9.25am and finished at 3.35pm - that is 6 hours with a lot of hard fought for smilies and a few DNF's. Our GPS'rs didn't want to cooperate today so quite often we were led on a merry dance.

So good to find a regular sized container. A pity this one didn't have a nice big log book inside to match the container.

Thanks janssej

Visiting Western Australia for the WA Goes big Event with Ozhockeychick, Papilion4508 and Geoturtle37 and we decided to knock of a few of the caches in this series. TFTC

Found with OzHockeyChick, Geoturtle37 and Pinkpiggy7 on our trip to WA to attend the WA Goes Big 2017 event in Rockingham. Quick, easy find. Thanks for the cache and thanks for bringing us here.

1:13 pm #3720
Found during a huge road (air) trip to Perth for the WA Goes Big 2017 event, with Papillon4506, Geoturtle37 & Pinkpiggy7.
Thanks for placing this cache here for us to find. Cheers

Day out geocaching before the rain. Great series will be back to do some more

Day two of our weekend away in Jarrahdale, spent tackling the Civilisation Series, this cache was another find on our long list Again the kids were eager to find out what was in store here… They are always happy to find one of these!

TFTC janssej & muskat83 [^]

Miss-Placed and I came down to meet Becknmonts for one last caching adventure before she ventures further afield. We headed off from Gero finding a few geocahes along the way, we stopped at Moora for Breaky and with quite a few laughs along the trip down, we got there

Our 3rd day of geocaching we went back to finish off one of the series we didnt finish yesterday, love these series definitely getting more than 30 min of excersize, nice, sun is finally coming out, then off to do some more geocaching in ther area,
Tftc janssej

Could not leave this series for too long, we shot back amongst the thick of it today to finish up the last of it. Only one DNF for the whole series was pretty good going for us country bumpkins!

Thanks for a fantastic well thought out and very entertaining series.

Gabs1963 and Miss-Placed came down to meet up with me for one last caching adventure before I venture further afield. We decided to finish being civil to each other today (harder for some team members than others). We had a great morning caching, with only one DNF of the seriesI love the effort you have put into this series with interesting containers. TFTC janssej

A beautiful autumn day and a few free hours to get out and do some geocaching which has been neglected over the past few months. Set off up Jarrahdale way to have lunch at the cafe and then decided to finish off the great Civilisation - Tech series that we started some many months ago. Had a successful afternoon with that series now finished - now to find time for other 2 series.

We wondered how we missed this last time then worked out that it was placed after we were out here.

Thanks for the cache janssej [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry .

This was find # 1 of 12 and 0 today giving us a total cache count of 3330.

With both of us on leave from work, AlliedOz and I arranged to spend a day researching the history of civilisation. We dropped the Geokids at school and headed out to Jarrahdale.

My plan was to grab the Tribes and then the People and maybe a few others here and there.

This was a green icon in a line of smileys. Parked and walked and made the nice find.


janssej - SVKR_WA found your cache CIVILISATION – TECH SERIES – GUN POWDER on 4/4/17, 11:54. This is my find #1891 and find #20 today.

The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

After doing some of this amazing series last year, today SVKR_WA and I headed out to see if we could make a dent in the rest.

In to grab this one that was not here last trip.

Thanks janssej & muskcat83 for your part in this awesome well thought out series.

AlliedOz aka The Jokers

A perfect day out in the hills to get back into geocaching a bit again with the Civilisation series.
Although I have never played the game we did enjoy the great variety of hides and admired the effort that had gone into this whole series.
We will definitely be back for some more smileys soon!

In the area for the event today and decided to tackle more of this series. Wonder who else we will see out here?

With the staging of todays event, gave me the motivation and excuse to head down and make a start on this grand civilisation, with the main goal to tackle the tech series of hides

i spent the day tracking down a fantastic series of hides of great variety, all worthy of their now legendary status

Please to say to finish the day with 44 finds and one dnf

Great to meet the creators at the event and happy to award a favourite point for every find had today.

But this means I will have to do a hell of a lot more caching to restock the favourite points before returning and tackling the rest of the civilisation.

Tfts muskcat83 and janssej

Youngest geoson (Chickenhawk07) and I decided to head out early this morning to grab some of the civilisation series.

Great to find a large container in the mix.

I can't wait to catch up with everyone again at
[WA GOES BIG 2017](https://coord.info/GC6TD11) in Rockingham, WA.
Perths big event is on again.
**See you there**.

janssej - Kyzabra found your cache CIVILISATION – TECH SERIES – GUN POWDER . The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing and maintaining your cache.!

Hi there janssej - with my son-in-law coming over to do some garden work I took the opportunity for a walk around the parks. This cache was found quickly and is in good condition. This is an enjoyable day giving me a break from TWO and two grandkids (who've been with us for a week). This is my find #4264 - thanks to janssej for this cache.

Find 10 of 22 on our first visit to the Civilisation - Tech Series.

A great selection of cache hides and containers in a very quiet section of bush.

Quick find here before Mrs. O. made it to GZ. Took the two TBs from the nice sized container. TFTC janssej

We headed south to finish this series while the weather was kind. Thanks for the cache.

Quick find of a nice container. TFTC

Quick find. Blasted flies tftc

Quick find after a bit of a trek took George coin

Headed north again today, this time with the Pranksters Devils on our radar. The plan was to meet up with Eliktrisiti when she finished at the gym after spending all night at work (oh to be that young again!!). Mr Jackylegs and I were on the road pretty early and decided to grab a few caches on the way to our pre-arranged meeting place with Eli. This was one of the ones we chose to grab while it was still early, allowing me to complete all of the Civilisation Series that have been published thus far. Thanks for another smiley janssej

Was out with Mistraluna and Eli, to do the Devil caches which we completed, with lots of cuts and bruses. A job well done, but Happy not to go back to soon. tftc, sl, tnln.

Met at 8.30 in Jarrahdale with iluvtrekking, Sevebo and Everlasting to tackle the latest release of Civilization caches. Beautiful day to be out doing this series although Everlasting found that she was a 'tick magnet', after finding several on her throughout the day. Signed all logs as team R.I.S.E. All containers found without a problem and we enjoyed the range of camo applied to each. Thanks janssej

Iluvtrekking pick us up and meet richlink at Jarrahdale, we went to civilisation series..
Admired this area - so beautiful bushland. see animals even ticks

The weather was perfect for outing!!![^][^]

**Accompanied with richlink, iluvtrekking, sevabo and everlasting - logged as "R.I.S.E."**

Drop off 2 x TBs

Thanks janssej for organising the cache and hunt [^]

Great day out for caching with Everlasting, iluvtrekking and richlink

Thanks janssej for leading us here

We teamed up with richlink, Everlasting and sevabo today to enjoy the bush land and caches in the Jarradale area. We really appreciated the effort and thought that has been put into these caches, well done janssej. We signed the logs using our team name for the day R.I.S.E.

Dropped off trackable, pick another up. All is
Okay with cache.

Hi there janssej.

We found your cache **"CTS-GUN POWDER"** at 11:04:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 14793.

We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route that is mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. The plan today was to finish off the "Civilisation Technology" series, and then make a start on the "Civilisation People" series.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trek today & ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes hidden along the way.

We found 19 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge if the container was large enough.
**Dropped Trackable:** "Just Married".

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Another find for geodaughter! Tftc

Headed back out with OOH YEH to finish off the rest of the series today except 2 puzzle caches... most were found pretty quickly.. i hope to see more added to this series.. TFTC

Headed back out with the geodaughter Kristybelle to finish off this series (except 2 puzzle caches). We found 17 today with no DNFS. The weather wasn't the best and we got rained on a few times but it was good once again to find a great variety of novel caches. Most caches were found quickly with a few that took a few minutes of searching. TFTC janssej

Quick find here heading home from Perth. Thanks again for the series

I have been known to sometimes be a little OCD about unfound caches amongst lots of smileys. So when I noticed this one during our preparations for another raid on Civilisation Land, it just had to be addressed. A quick find here, and on to finding some Great People. Thanks for this cache!

Up this way today for the peoples series and this one was not there last time, so a quick stop before we met the peoples of Civilisation.

TFTC janssej

Its been a while since I've been out with KrabiBoy, but we made plans to get out and grab a few caches.

janssej, I found your cache CIVILISATION – TECH SERIES – GUN POWDER on 19/09/2016 at 3:50 PM. This is my find #1316 and #2 today.

Loudy16 has been living away in Broome for a few months, so when he mentioned he was heading home for a few weeks, we made sure a caching day was on the cards.

I saw the emails come through for the new Civilisation series last night, and it fitted the bill perfectly for todays destination.

Cleaning up the last of the original series that was published after we came through.

TFTC janssej.

janssej, I found your cache CIVILISATION – TECH SERIES – GUN POWDER on 19/09/2016.
This is my find #2991 and find #1 today.

Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.

This one must have popped up without me noticing it. Now I cannot leave just one of the series unfound, can I? What a spectacular specimen. Nature's sculpture. TFTC

Cycled up and down Balmoral Rd looking for a track in. Wondered why CO would have placed cache so far off track. On arriving at GZ it became apparent. What a beauty. TFTC.

TFTC

Our 700th find. Thanks for a great series so far. The kids have really enjoyed all the cache containers. Tfth.

Found CIVILISATION – TECH SERIES – GUN POWDER. Very true, cache and log book are completely dry and healthy. No trackables to trade TNLN SL TFTH janssej.

As it was forecast a fine day before this week's rain robbo56 and I decided to tackle this series , all in all we had a good day with 38 finds from the 41 we looked for . We found most fairly quickly usually within 3m of our GZ,.
TFTC

When Blingg asked if I would like to go and find a few caches around Jarrahdale I jumped at the chance to spend a few hours in the bush. It turned out to be a great day with lovely sunny weather and 38 caches found.
TFTS

Quick find on a sunny day. Thought we would hopefully finish the series today-alas 1 DNF and one multi with gps flat batteries! Oh well another day to finish this great series. TFTC

TFTC... nice big old tree

We left home in the rain and arrived at a sunny Jarrahdale. Great series guys, really enjoyed what I've seen today.

TFTC

Ez find t4tc

I was out and about riding along the Munda Biddi today and noticed that this one was still available for us to grab. A nice quick find due to spot on coords and I soon had the jinta scrawl in the book . TFTC

Out and about with Mikirst to finish this series. very much enjoyed doing this series. Thank you for all your effort to put these out for us. TFTC

Another day caching with S'n'N and decided to hit this series and found 19 before we ran out of time. Will definitely be back to finish it!

FTF at 8.08am
Saw this one published last night but the rain did not stop. Woke up this morning to a much better outlook and the FTF still up for grabs, so had the morning coffee to assist in my functioning levels and headed up the hill back into tech series land. Wow theres been quite a bit of rain over night and puddles on the road everywhere but the 80m walk to the cache was nice and dry. Geo dog Zotti was a bit hesitant she's not used to morning caching runs, Bobble however was raring to go. The cache was found quickly without issues and I opened it up to see a blank log book -Yippee my first FTF for the month -I was starting to get worried i would loose my streak.
Signed log and took the TB Sticker as a prize which will sit nicely on the Geoute that brought me up to this cache. TFTC janssej was nice to be back up in TECH land again the series is now complete for me once again.
