On the way home tonight from a work dinner, I wanted to pickup a T5 challenge that I recently qualified for, in order to work towards another challenge by the same CO. But, I soon realised upon arriving that GZ was behind fencing. I should've read the logs first. Anyway, as per the past log, I asked permission from the CO as to whether I could log this one, and he very kindly gave permission. Photo attached of me at GZ, a bit blurry albeit. TFTC DSD has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7NT8H/34501 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

We have worked on this challenge for a long time and were very pleased when Project-GC confirmed that we had met the requirements:2y'stassies fulfils challenge UGC 11 Graduation - Challenge (GC7NT8H), according to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7NT8H/34501As we headed south from Queensland to Geelong to board the Spirit of Tasmania for home, we detoured into Canberra to look for this cache. We were very disappointed when we found that GZ was behind a construction fence. We contacted the CO who generously gave permission for us to claim the find.Thanks DARKSIDEDAN for the great series and for giving us approval to log the find.

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 DARKSIDEDAN .

We signed this cache in Canberra at Easter for the Capital Geobash Mega. We signed as many Challenge caches as possible, and it is taking a while to go through them all.We checked the checker on this one today, and this is what it said:[Dromaniax](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Dromaniax) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7NT8H/34501 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.OK: AND{I have:ok:5 total loops of 1 neededI have found required number of caches (1) of the required number of types (1) in each of 192 counties (required number of counties: 110).Filters:( country:Australia)User has 278 finds (200 needed) Filters:( difficulties (4 , 4.5 , 5) )User has found 29 caches of type "Boat required" (20 required).Number of souvenirs: 125 (125 required)}I have found required number of caches (1) of the required number of types (1) in each of 192 counties (required number of counties: 110).Filters:( country:Australia)Number of souvenirs: 125 (125 required)Thank you, DARKSIDEDAN, for putting out so many fantastic Challenge caches.

It seems I have qualified for this Challenge cache. Better drive down to ACT and SL.CheckEverestHigh fulfils challenge UGC 11 Graduation - Challenge (GC7NT8H), according to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7NT8H/34501

This has been a long time in the making. For me, It started at the Queanbeyan Mega, and the last challenge I required was the 200 D4/4.5/5 caches, which I have been working hard to achieve all of this year. These things are not done in isolation - at least not for me. I must give much of the credit for to those that I call my "apps." TeamMerlin, PHLphotos and Tardis0061! I'm sure this has plenty of fave points, but another won't hurt, will it?

Im visiting Canberra from Brisbane with Willis007 for a long weekend with the Domsky duo, our wonderful guides, targeting mainly oldies and challenges.

Day #9 Geobashing - The last and final day!Time to make the drive home to Melbourne with a heap of stops to pick up things we ran out of time for on the way in. Will we make it home on time? Unlikely. We are already behind the eight ball after an unscheduled FTF hunt.I have had this one on my list for a long time after it was the only cache in the series I couldnt access on my last trip due to construction. With the cache now moved I grabbed this on my way out only to find the GPS was sending me 15m behind the very active construction fence. Fortunately I found it outside the fence in a different location. Phew.

Exciting times over the next couple of weeks as we takeoff for the Capital GeoBash in Canberra! Its going to be a flood of Sandgropers over east, with a host of West Aussies making the trek east for the event. Im travelling with fellow Cockburn Crew members Leg5 and Barnzy12, starting in Sydney and hitting the road to Canberra, before returning back to Sydney. Honourary mention to our fellow member, Cravo10, who couldnt make it after recently introducing a new geocacher to the world the week prior. Once in Canberra, the agenda is set, well team up with a host of Western Australians to conquer caches. Collectively, were hoping to make it the biggest ever weekend for cache finding. Following the event, the journey continues back to Sydney, with a mission to clean up caches and new Local Government Areas (LGAs), ensuring no cache is left unturned in this epic geocaching adventure. Something tells me that well need a holiday after this, well, holiday. All logs have been signed as WAC to save space, abbreviation for Western Australia Crew. Cheers DARKSIDEDAN!

We qualify for this challenge. A great series, thank you. The Cockburn Crew are on tour at the Capital Geobash in Canberra - travelling from Perth to Sydney, Canberra, Sydney and finally back to Perth.Today was day 5. We completed a huge number of trails, challenges, whereigos, traditional, multis, earthcaches, labs, virtuals and puzzles. It really was a great day for variety. We enjoyed caching in territory we havent been before. Weve filled our boots with some rare DTs and DTTs and generally had a great time. A night time adventure to complete the UGC series was a last minute must do. We snagged a couple of extras along the way but it was a great way to finish our time in Canberra. Thanks to the COs for a great day and event. Logs signed as part of team WA/WAC (WA Crew)

Bugger, I don't qualify for this one - yet BUT I have signed the log.

I signed the log today and will follow up with a found log once I meet the requirements or confirm that I have already done so. Thanks for this challenge as this and other challenge caches always add to my to do list which adds another interesting aspect of geocaching.

TFTC DARKSIDEDAN for the challenge UGC 11 Graduation - Challenge. We are attending the Canberra Mega and enjoying every busy moment.After a hectic morning we decided to head out with MeAndDe and Wollaston to sign as many of the UGC as possible before heading to the CITO in Harrison. We will check our eligibility when things settle down a little after getting back home.

This cache was not where we expected to find it!Out with LB and Princess1005 (MB&Cs) signing up for a challenge, or dozen ??, while attending the Canberra GeoBash. How many roundabouts did we drive around to sign all these logs I hear you ask, well, over a couple of nights, I believe it was more than 60 various circular shapes, carefully placed in the middle of various roads! ?????? Im so dizzy, my head is spinning - Like a whirlpool, it never ends ??????Definitely a fun, entertaining couple of nights, with a couple of cool cachers. Now to work towards qualifying for these challenges ??TFTC DARKSIDEDANKeep smiling ??

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.Well it is day 3 for me and after finding a few caches with Team Pork first thing this morning it is time for me to head back to Uni (or actually attend Uni for the first time) and see if I can graduate after attending all of the courses.So it is the UGC challenge series and I qualify for but 2 but hopefully I can rectify one of the courses soon.This area is definitely not Geocruiser territory with all of the narrow streets and it reminds me of a few estates back home.With lots of stops and lots of walking I did it in about 4 1/2 hours and that included rescuing someone off their house roof.Posums has used Project-GC Challenge Checker to see if he qualified for this challenge and he did not.Posums will do some more studying to find 15 more caches with a high D rating so he can finally graduate.Pass - Posums has 1 total loops of 1 neededPass - Posums has found required number of caches (1) of the required number of types (1) in each of 264 counties (required number of counties: 110).Filters:( country:Australia)Fail - Posums has 185 finds (200 needed) Filters:( difficulties (4 , 4.5 , 5) )Pass - Posums has found 32 caches of type "Boat required" (20 required).Pass - Posums has a total of souvenirs: 153 (125 required) Thanks DARKSIDEDAN TFTCC.

My last attempt of this I logged a DNF as it was located behind a fence protecting construction work. Today the cache had been relocated and was accessible to be logged. Thank you for the cache and challenge which by signing the log I accept.

We seem to be following Green Cordial and BenM70 around. We are unsure if we qualify, but added our names to the log just in case.

Task: Complete all 5 requirements outlined below in order to Graduate from UGC - 125+ souvenirs PLUS 110+ Australian Counties PLUS 20+ finds with Boat attribute PLUS Complete D/T Matrix (All 81) Plus 200+ D4 and above findsHaving qualified for most of the challenges in this series for some time, took the opportunity to sign all the easily found GZs while attending the GeoBash Mega. Just need a few more DTs on the fizzy and some more D4 puzzles before I can claim this find. Thankfully a few in this series helped cut down the time that will take.

The Adelaide Leap Day Mega and Canberra Geobash gave me a great excuse for a road trip. This trip has shown me so many new and interesting places as Ive chased LGAs, oldies, challenges, interesting D/T combinations, rarer cache types and favourites.Meeting up with friends old and new along the way, we sometimes cached with them and sometimes alone but always had a great time. Today we drove all over Canberra, firstly filling a couple of D/T grid squares before focusing on finding favourites. Afterwards we took a tour around Lake Burley Griffin in this superb walking weather. Some wonderful places visited and caches found, it was a most enjoyable way to spend the day. I will check if we qualify when I next get the chance.Thanks to the CO for placing and maintaining this cache and adding to our enjoyment.

Found while attending the mega in Canberra. I had a great time caching and catching up with friends.This is one of the caches found today.

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

I couldn't find this one unfortunately

Found when we were in Canberra for the mega. Still a bit if work to qualify!

My daughter and I left Brisbane on Wednesday night, and made it to Canberra after lunch after a stop to see her brother in Sydney last night.In town to enjoy a few days of the Canberra Mega before heading to Melbourne for a family birthday party.Checked in to the accom and straight out to find a few targeted caches. Found a safe place to park and was soon at ground zero where the cache was quickly located. Log book signed and back to the car and off on the next challenge.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.[Geo Johns](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Geo%20Johns) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7NT8H/34501 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.OK: AND{I have:ok:2 total loops of 1 neededI have found required number of caches (1) of the required number of types (1) in each of 110 counties (required number of counties: 110).Filters:( country:Australia)User has 223 finds (200 needed) Filters:( difficulties (4 , 4.5 , 5) )User has found 122 caches of type "Boat required" (20 required).Number of souvenirs: 128 (125 required)}I have found required number of caches (1) of the required number of types (1) in each of 110 counties (required number of counties: 110).Filters:( country:Australia)Number of souvenirs: 128 (125 required)

Finally, this octogenarian managed to GRADUATE!????? It has taken me years from when I began this course.When I was here last year this cache was inaccessible.Today, on a trip out from the Mega, with grannysmith1947, my name has finally been added to the honour roll.Thanks so much for the experience gained in the process of this achievement.[Cybergran V](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Cybergran%20V) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7NT8H/34501 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.OK: ANDI have:ok:3 total loops of 1 neededI have found required number of caches (1) of the required number of types (1) in each of 303 counties (required number of counties: 110).Filters:( country:Australia)User has 607 finds (200 needed) Filters:( difficulties (4 , 4.5 , 5) )User has found 49 caches of type "Boat required" (20 required).Number of souvenirs: 224 (125 required)}I have found required number of caches (1) of the required number of types (1) in each of 303 counties (required number of counties: 110).Filters:( country:Australia)Number of souvenirs: 224 (125 required)

Signed will log when qualified

Signed after reading where the cache was placed due to barriers. We meet the other criteria but our 'Counties' are in the 80's and it will take more interstate travel to reach the requirement.

Found with DazRascal on a day out collecting some solved puzzles and challenges. This is a great series of challenges and although I miss out on qualifying for a few, we grabbed a good handful today.

Out and about with TanSaf today chasing down the caches in the UGC series. Log signed will check later to see if I qualify.

22:36Canberra at last!Once +Wife and EveTheStaffy were settled in at their accommodation, n0w0rries and I headed out to make a start on signing Challenge caches, my main focus for this trip. We got a few in before I was dropped off back at my car.I'll sort eligibility when I get around to it.Thanks, Professor Geo.

Attending the Canberra Geobash. Out with Skylizard today - our aim to locate and sign as many of this series as possible. Most were quick park and finds with the occasional short stroll. A most enjoyable day. An excellent series providing opportunities to meet all sorts of challenges and providing motivation to.work towards others. I am a long way from meeting this challenge but will work towards it. TFTC

10:45The Capital GeoBash certainly drew an enormous number of geocachers to Canberra for the fun and excitement. Together with fellow Victorians the Suscoe Duo we ventured out to the north west of the Mega site and found a great variety of interesting caches.[Phetlern](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Phetlern) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7NT8H/34501 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.Thanks to DARKSIDEDAN for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.36758

So happy to be back in Canberra (my old home) log signed but do not qualify yet. Will log one day once I do qualify!

Another fantastic day here in Canberra, the locals have certainly turned the wonderful weather for the event, maybe they had a chat with the Lord Above. We had one DNF and the other 30 odd caches were all found. A couple of challenge caches that we do not qualify for but the we signed. The event was fantastic with loads of people to chat with.

Day 6: Cruising Canberra again Today myself, Anymules and Muff1 set out to try and find a few more caches. A lot of puzzles were solved over many months preparing for this trip so we wanted to grab a few of those. So we cruised around just following our noses and finding caches. Today we concentrated mainly on the USG series of caches.***Thanks DARKSIDEDAN for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Cache found and log signed while in Canberra for the Mega ... but I'm a little bit off Qualifying at the moment.

Today I planned to do the UGC series and anything else that was close by as we passed. I had Esmiley and Bellahappychappy with me and it was a very interesting and fun day. We got in a lot of caches and got all in the series completed. While the competition of who qualifies and who did not between esmiley and bella rang out in the travels, it did make me laugh. It was nice to see that all the caches in the series were in place and in good condition and most with fresh logs.We signed the logs and replaced the caches as found. Thanks for the hides.

Out and about in Canberra with the view to collect UGC for team.This cache has been closed off now for 3 of my previous visits making it one of those 'Come back another time' events. We had been spotted by security on our second visit for the day, thinking the workers would be gone home after 4pm, so were questioned and was now escorted into the area the back way to sign the cache.Caching with and signing as the group '4 for QLD' and having a great day especially now that I have this final.Will be finalising my logging when back at base.TFTCache Professor Geo

No luck, checked on both sides of fence (legal and not) and all trees nearby. Construction looks to have expanded, maybe a check is needed?

No luck today.. we had a good look, both sides of the fence

Log signed will check later to see if I qualify.

Well done Rapidlywild on having Canberras Best Geocaching Series. I really had to work to do the challenges, unlike others out there. Thanks for the fun and the adventure. Signed dsdThis series 100% gets a Favourite Point

Like others this was a disappointing DNF..I searched the tree outside the perimeter fence and found nothing I then shimmied under the fence to have a look at the neighbouring tree again nothing but itchiness from the grass seeds..Confirmed with a PAF who found it after co ordinates were changed in April 23..I think the fencing has moved again. And unless I had major cache blindness (which is a possibility) I couldn't find the cache.,

Find # 10600Finally, I can say I qualify and I can graduate Phew! Such a relief, and so much fun and adventure in meeting all of the challenges along the way. I just loved this series. Definitely a fav point from me Thanks so much for the many caches Rapidlywild and of course for giving me a reason and incentive to get out here, and to experience this part of the world in a different light

My first ever visit to the ACT and with a few hours of spare time on both the Saturday and Sunday I decided to target the many challenge caches in Canberra.This series caught my attention and I ensured I had all corrected coordinates loaded before the trip.As for the execution, I wasnt sure what to expect and how many I could fit in. I had a hire care and decided to start east (closest to the airport) and gradually make my way westwards rather than trying to follow the intention of the CO to find the caches in order.In the end the process was a lot slower than I expected. Most hides were bisons in trees and bushes and in many cases there were multiple candidate trees to explore. As such I did have a number of DNFs, as I gave myself a 5-10 maximum time at each cache.This one is still impacted by the works being done at GZ, but I was easily able (on a non working Saturday) to get to the right tree(s?). Despite extensive search could not spot the blighter unfortunately.

Checking back through some challenge caches that weve previously found and signed the log for and we see we qualify for this challenge.

Making our way through a series of challenge caches we signed while attending the Canberra GeoBash in March. We do not qualify for this one. We achieved 4 of the 5 categories, but only found 21 of 110 Australian counties on our 3 week trip. Not sure we'll make it back , but who knows! ????

Not happy.Final coordinates as per listing are still behind the fence

Finally! I can log this challenge!!!! I needed a bit of help today to secure the last boat attribute, after a very sad morning of caching, when everything seemed impossible. Was fully expecting to add to my DNF daily list but my caching buddy risked his skin for me. (I had earlier in the week scraped away half a knee, two fingers and half a palm.) A special thanks to Otter61, who is now just needing some more souvenirs to finally sign this challenge off too. It probably took me all of my 11 years of caching to get to this point, he has managed to almost complete it in 4 years!From Project GC " I have:ok:3 total loops of 1 neededSpidermonkeysMum has found required number of caches (1) of the required number of types (1) in each of 126 counties (required number of counties: 110).Filters:( country:Australia)User has 237 finds (200 needed) Filters:( difficulties (4 , 4.5 , 5) )User has found 20 caches of type "Boat required" (20 required).Number of souvenirs: 203 (125 required)"So, I had this series targeted way back in 2019 when I travelled solo to the Queanbeyan Mega. I had my targets but was lucky enough to join up with some other South Aussies with a vehicle Signed as JAMS. This particular one being the only one I knew would take a long time to meet, as there was no way I would be able to do 365 days in a row.Thanks RapidlyWild for the ultimate in challenges and for the amazing series.SA is hosting a Mega for Leap Day 2024.

Thank you for the challenge Rapidlywild, lot of fun planning for this win.

I was very pleased to see the CO had preformed maintenance on this cache before we left for our trip. Despite not yet qualifying, this gives us something to work towards.

Not quite party time yet Professor Rapidlywild, but get the drinks ready.

Log signed

Oh how happy we are to see this one back in play just in time for our visit.

With the new coordinates in our GPSr we found this cache today and signed the nice new log. Did a CITO while here and filled a bag.

Will need to check first if we qualify for this challenge.

Thank you.

Final GZ has moved slightly due to the development of the suburb of Jacka. Please ensure you have updated your final coordinates before attempting this find. As per usual, please ensure you are using stealth when locating this one. Cache on.
