Found in good condition. Looks like a brand new sistema.You light up my life.TFTC kittykatch

Reperio 10:31Day 2 of our NSW south eastern caching tour, and Master Vitruvius and I travelled from Tarago, through to Bungendore and then on to Captains Flat. It was quite an eventful day, from finding a dog on a lonely country road, to having a brown snake slide up next to me while signing a cache, to having a police officer pull over and put his lights on for us as we were pulling road kill off the roadand of course, lots of geocaches found. A great day out full of geocaching and adventure. Gratias KittykatchAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

It plain slight and easy to found

I'm glad I decided there is time to go all the way to the end of the road. Working my way back these containers are great. TFTC ??

Illuminating! Tftc

Find cache. Cue nostalgia. tftc

Find # 10973Nice quick find.We've travelled to Canberra for the Capital GeoBash Mega event this Easter long weekend. We have parked our van at Capital Country Holiday Park for the next few nights and are looking forward to catching up with our old caching friends and meeting new friends.TFTC Kittykatch 29 March 2024 15:18

We found your cache today 29 March 2024 11:28am , while enjoying another day in our beautiful countryside. TFTC Kittykatch

Found after a short search and aided by the geotrails from recent finders. Thanks for the cache Kittykatch

I found that one about five or 10 m north of micron zero. Thanks for the fun!

Our last day in Bungendore and just a morning of caching planned. A lovely sunny, warm morning and heading along Lake Road.Total Caches Found 15551TFTC Kittykatch

cool thanks

Found on a nice warm afternoon in the sun. Tftc

Found 7m from my GZ after clearing meters of long weed off the tree. TFTC

Today headed towards the one key cache to get at least an hour of exercise. In the end we hiked some 10km on remarkably good trails. The landscape was very green between Lake George and a little beyond the road to Bungendore. We were mostly under the canopy of trees which was quite refreshing despite the hot sun. SocialClimber cleared heaps of overgrowth to get to the GZ area and even then it was nowhere to be seen. It was in the end a lucky find away from GZ on the ground but has been replaced at the base of the tree nearby. TFTC KittyKatch.

A bit of excavation and clearing here before a lucky find in the undergrowth.Thanks, Kittykatch!

Found on a drive in Queanbeyan and Bungendore to side-track to highly favourited caches for the Signal's Labyrinth challenge this month. Took way longer than it should've to spot this one. The coords were a little out sure but I still should've looked a lot harder! Fun container. Took the $2 that was inside. Lovely views of the lake full of water; the sheep here seemed peaceful here too! TFTC KK!

Nice find.
Tftc

Found with Culture 50. Saw the light for a quick find! TFTC

I have spent many years, on or near Lake George, but I have never seen it from this direction. It is always great to get a different perspective.

Nice quick find and cool container!

TFTC

Camping at the nearby show grounds gave us the opportunity to pick up a few.
Thank you for the hide!!

It's Earth Day Weekend.

I have decided to finish my finds in each of the 360° around my home location. I have been missing 7° for ages and they are all clustered in this area.
This cache is a lot further north than I had to go, but the last time I was on this road I couldn't get this far north as there were sheep being moved along the road. I also wanted to have a closer look at Lake George with all that water in again.

The last time I was here, the weeds were so thick and wet after recent rain, that I couldn't find the cache.

Today I had no problems.

There are lots of little birds and a few frogs around.
TFTC

TFTC...so peaceful out here

TFTC. A nice find in a lovely area. If it wasn’t for geocaching I would never have come along this road and missed out on all the beautiful scenery.

Found with my partner and sister - very easy to spot from the right angle but it took a while wandering and battling through spiders!!!

Went for an afternoon drive, and walk, along the lake road. The lake was very picturesque, full as it now is, a grand expanse of water stretching to the foot of the windmill hills in the distance!

For years after moving to Canberra, with the lakebed dry, I believed lake George to be not a true lake, but akin to those salt "lakes" we have in South Australia. It's quite a dramatic change to see it now!

Lake Road Shining: Wandered in a bit of a circle and upset a lot of spiders on my way to this one! Fortunately it was easy to spot from the right angle.

Thanks for the cache!

More to come

Cache is ready to be found

I still have a fractured ankle but am still planning to get out there in the next two weeks.

Cache disabled until I can get out to check on it. I have a fractured ankle atm but hope to get out there by end of April

Searched for a little while, no luck. The waist high prickles certainly didn't help. Thanks Kittykatch

Couldn’t find after extensive searching with Jemalong&family and Aussiepuschaks

After a fairly thorough search of 15-20 minutes and 20,000 prickles (under the sea)from the Patterson’s Curse we gave this up as a DNF.

Searched for close to 20mins with aussiepusckaks and sophiescout, we turned over every blade of Patersons curse and got half of them in our legs and arms, but couldn't find it pretty sure it has disappeared. TFTC

The hip high soggy and dense Paterson's Curse is not helping.

Found it. Took time. Full of water log dry

Found it

Beautiful early morning start along the lake. Cold and frosty made for good photo opportunities.

Very clever!

A flippin good clue!

We had a most enjoyable day of caching from our base at Bungendore. The weather just perfect and the scenery so green and beautiful. Yours was one of the caches we targetted and found. Thanks to Kittykatch for arranging this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Great cache on a very smoky morning!

Flipped out when we found this!

Places to stop are a bit tight along this part of the road so be mindful of any traffic

This one took me the longest time to find of any in this series, mostly due to the barbed wire fence. By this time, I was starting to think that it wasn't my poor caching skills but my phone being out by a few metres at each location. so I tried one side of the fence, then the other, and then back again, looking in all the expected hidey holes, but nothing. I didn't want to leave defeated, so I started moving things a little more and finally success. But it wasn't until I found the cache that I realised I'd mis-read the cache title (adding in an extra 'r'). I had to laugh at both the camo and my goofyness. Thanks Kittykatch.

Out again today with my youngest daughter getting some fresh air while geocaching. On our way out to Lake Road to find a previous DNF and some new (since I was last out this way) caches out that way. A quick find, thanks Kittykatch.

Another Lake drive to get more caches. Interesting cache container. Will be handy if the lake fills up.
TFTC Kittykatch.

With BomEm, on a Mtb/Hike caching run to Bungendore and Lake George.
Nice and easy find.
Shame u cannot use the cache container here.

Out and about again with Lpud for a day trip around Lake George. Another inventive cache. Thanks KK

My lady is off sick. I've spent the morning doing houseworky thimgs. I have flagged my intention to go caching this arvo, and my lady elected to take her dogs for a short walk. I'm after "Regular" sized caches for Prof RapidlyWilds UGC series. That particular course is holding me up because I'm trying to do them in order, as requested by the professor. Get that course done, I can log the next four or so. Must admit that, after my arm operation when I couldnt drive, I did cheat on three or four of them, and logged them to kepp my streak going. Still, my intentions are good. (Nudge nudge, wink wink). I'm recently back from a really great Caching trip to Brisbane, wher I took my lady to meet my family, and I cleared up a lot of UGC requirements which aren;t avaulable ib Canberra. For example, I found 18 "Large" caches, and nearly 50 "Regular" caches, interstate letterboxes, and three of the oldest caches in Australia. I had a ball. And my lady and my family got on really well. Wedding bells coming. Anyway, I'm making a project of "Regular" sized caches, and I've found a further eighteen since I've come home. Before today, I had 53 more to find, and tody gets that down to 50. I'll have them done in a month or so. Anyway, I have the GeoSchnauzers with me, and we've driven out here and up the road. Lake George is empty (of water, anyway). I really enjoyed the drive, with the range on one side of the raod, and the plain that used to be a lake on the other. We pulled up close to the cache, and the puppies and I started hunting. The puppies found lots of interesting things to sniff, and I found lots of interesting place to put a cache. As it turned out, your cache didn't need an interesting place - it was amusing in itself. Nice one, KittyKatch. Thanks.

A very appropriate hide, as it looks like there is a smidge of water out in the lake just here... maybe it's just mud... TFTC

Out for a Saturday learner Election Day drive around lake George and found our way here. Pity it’s too cold for a swim TFTC

Currently travelling Australia .staying at Bungendore Showgrounds thought we'd come out and do some caching in the area .
thanks for the Cache

We really flipped out over this cache! A quick find to increase the stats
TFTC

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

Another great day out with woolwood9 hunting containers.
SL - Stamped logs as TM/WW NZ or printed tm421/ ww9
Big thank you to the cache owners who made our trip fun!

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

Teamed up with The Rats to primarily find some of the power trails in ans around the ACT whilst also attending the Mega Event in Queanbeyan. In a couple of days we managed a few hundred finds. The landscape wasn't too bad and we enjoyed the various series placed out. TFTC!

Headed down to Queanbeyan for the Clear Waters Mega event over Easter with steeba. We set ourselves a goal of bolstering our find count by doing some of the numerous powertrails that dot the surrounding area.

Grabbed a few caches by night around Bungendore before heading up along Lake George where we found a campsite beside the lake for the night. Thanks to the CO's for placing the caches we found.

The Lake Road is very quiet these days
And by the quiet road I soon found yet another cache

So where's the water ??


TFTC

Out for a drive in the countryside with Bluewattle picking up a few caches along the way.
After a nice lunch in Sutton we are back on the road in search of more smilies.
Good camo here and a quick find, well done CO.

TFTC Found with Snickersallan whilst in the town for the Mega

Another good reuse of an item for a cache. Don't think you can use these around here at the moment!
TFTC

Left Port Macquarie heading south to the Mega event .
We are now back at Gundaroo Sports ground.
There are now 7 geocaching teams here. TMann from NZ had a quick stop here looking for a cache, so they spent some time here chatting
Decided to head towards Bungendore & up the side of Lake George. This was a wonderful drive, the cache containers were all so relevant to the hide name.
Thanks for placing this cache Kittykatch

Another interesting container. TFTC

Loved the cache containers along Lake Road. Quick find and sign with Unicorns. Thanks for the cache Kittykatch.

After passing through a number of spider webs we found this good fun cache. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Found this cute hide while in the area for the Bungendore Country Muster weekend and picking up some hides and doing the Tarago Trail.
Thanks Kittykatch for the hide.

A great little country lane Drive.
Enjoyed finding these caches, seeing what view is around the next corner and all the different cammos.

Cache 4320 on 29 Dec 2018

After spending Christmas with family and being hampered by a sore foot, I was getting edgy about not caching in my holidays, and a little bored. So Joeylovestreasure and I concocted a plan to grab a few early morning caches along Lake George before the sun was above the yard arm (when beer becomes mandatory)! Great to catch up with an old friend and caching mentor from my first days of caching!

Unless otherwise noted, caches found in good condition and in accordance with any hints.

This cache: well themed cache! Took a while for the GPS to settle! FP

Thanks Kittykatch for the cache and the fun!

Took a while but well worth it. TFTC

As I was passing on my way home from the coast after some diving, I could not resist the urge to come down here for the two caches that I had not visited yet. Amazingly it was raining, but I did not have to stop for long.

Thanks.

A beaut day for a drive along an interesting country road.

Final day in the Canberra area. Thank you to all the cache owners who spent time, energy and dollars placing and maintaining caches for us to find. Also please take a bow as your coords were in the most part really good.

Slowly wondering north after the Parkville Mega. Thank you, Kittykatch for placing this cache it certainly added to the enjoyment of our trip. 3964. TFTC TNLN. We really enjoyed this trail, took many photographs and had the most pleasant day. We are not disappointed most logs are cut and paste. please don't be offended as we truly enjoyed the trail.

Found whilst caching along the scenic lake road drive with MJ5. Another cool container. Cant' wait to see the next one. TFTC

Nice bit of road to drive on a Sunday morning. Cache found nicely tucked away. TFTC

So cool

Nice quick find as Touchstone7 and I did a few of the local caches. She'd already done this cache, so was having fun watch me try and find it.

Thanks for the cache KK.

Another fun themed cache on this loverly road
TFTC

Great to turn this blue sad face into a smile. Thanks for maintaining this entertaining series.

TFTC

Went the wrong side of the fence at first, but spotted something from afar and quickly found the cache once on the right side.

Thanks,

Found on a few days off work caching. Headed up after work last night for an early start. Thankyou for the cache

Went out for some night caches that were easy in this cold weather. Had fun TFTC

Another clever hide. Not sure I would be so keen on recovering this during the summer months but no wildlife problems today. TFTC Kk

Two of my favourite pastimes combined. TFTC. I did spend some time wondering what lived in the other holes!
