A cracking day for a cache walk! Tftc

Merging my accounts. Found this as "Ambers007" on 24/08/2022. Now tracking together with "Hoterini" and merging the old finds.

Quick find thankyou. No pen so took a photo of log. Cheers

Here in Canberra for the Mega and we found your cache while exploring the area.We found a variety of hides with varying degrees of difficulty. What a fantastic place to visit while doing the LAB as well Love the containers, very waterproof!Enjoyed caching in this area, cache and contents were in good condition.Many thanks to all CO's for your cache placement.

The ground zeros on offer from this CO never cease to amaze! What a tranquil little glade this place is. Such a nice part of the wetlands.Doing everything in my power to obey the signage and not break into a jog thanks!

Easy find!

#4509 My last find this afternoon. I thought I may have been in for a longer search as I checked a couple of spots before I noticed it dangling behind me. Cheers.

Nice shady spot for a rest

A trip to ACT with Chewinprickles - Day two on the deadly treadlies with Captain Tomato.
It started very chilly, but turned out a nice day for a ride.
This was out entry into this park, nice to get a quick grab first off.
Thanks, Robmc.

Biked our way around here grabbing all we could this being the first for our adventure.
Thanks, lovely area.

Nice hiding place
Thanks for the cache

Very nice spot out of the sun

Nice spot for some lovely respite from the sun, and for getting serenaded by water birds!

Thanks Tanks!

Full logsheet replaced! Old logsheet attached.
GOOD TO GO!!!

Quick find out for a morning stroll somewhere cool. Sadly found this one too fast - was enjoying the shade.

Tffc.
Wish it had taken a little longer to find as it was a quite pleasant place to stop.

Log book full

Great hidden away area

Cool tree but possibly super creepy at night, tftc.

The rain had held off, so we decided to continue our walk this morning.
Careful navigation was required even on the pathways as many of them are currently underwater.
Muddy boots will need to be washed tonight no doubt. As we arrived closer to GZ we made our way through long grass to a very likely looking place for a cache hide.
It was very peaceful and cool under the canopy.
Thanks Tankengine

Bit off the beaten track!!

Wow! Awesome hiding spot
Cheers for the cache

Nice hiding area. TFTC

TFTC. Found on an afternoon ride. Had to take the long way as no bikes allowed.

Find #6132

Car in for a service so collecting a range of caches while I have time on a freezing morning

Nice hide here, lovely to hear all the frogs croaking a chorus

Thanks so much Tankengine

Didn’t even think to bring a pen but photo for proof

Nice walk! It’s a pretty spot.

Nice walk around the wetlands. TFTC

TFTC a quick find along our journey. Lovely location.

Good hide but not too hard to find.

Big day today! Was chatting with FejerFam about caching last night and he suggested that we could do Majura Cycleway. Great idea! I have been eyeing them off ever since I only did 8 previously. So started at 11am where I met up with FejerFam in Dickson. Then ride up the CCT Trail to get to Majura Cycleway and then we profit. The sky was quite cloudy and we did end up getting rained on quite a bit. Took shelter at 27 Majura Cycleway where we fuelled up too. Then kept going until we reached the end. Then took a ride down to a nice burger place where we ate up at 4pm. Then FejerFam had to go and gave me the option to come in the car with him which I declined. I have a lot more caches to do! Then spent another 3 hours going around Canberra picking up more caches as I go. Good day!

All logs signed as EE + FF except for the ones I found by myself

Thanks to all the COs for placing and thanks to FejerFam for accompanying me!

Most Majura Cycleway logs end here as I forget which bison tube was what. But if yours is a bit more unique (or I remember it) here are my personal comments.

Quickly found here

No one around when I entered the tree zone and then after an easy find, there were muggles a go go

Out for a visit to Fyshwick for some errands. so decided to grab a couple of caches.
The wetlands are always interesting. A very nice overhanging tree to hide from all the water life.
Thanks for the cache TS

Quick find at GZ, cool location, thanks

Beautiful area

Nice views. A bit of long grass to get through

Ice easy find TFTC

Thanks for the great cache

Nice spot, easy to find

on our way to the tree and there was a brown snake in the grass! be careful

TFTC

Found it!

Well, today Canberra goes into Covid lockdown. It was meant to be only a week, but as I only writing this log a week later, I can say its been extended. This will be my last physical cache for a while, I'm going to see how long I can last on Adventure Labs, Virtuals, and Earth Caches that are within a half hour cycle of my house (to make sure I get to the cache and back in the allotted hour and only go out for exercise).

The cache was in a great spot, with quite a few hiding options. But after a good lap of the area, I had the cache in hand in no time. Thanks for the great spot and a beautiful walk in the wetlands Tankengine.

By the time we worked our way round to this part of the wetlands, it was almost dark. Got some lovely sunset photos looking over the water and then had to narrow down the location to find the cache. One of us kept out and one of us went in, quick scan and then Cooeeee Found It!! Signed and replaced, glad that it was cold enough to keep snakes away but warmer than the previous week when we got rained out of here. TFTC and lovely location.

Nice thanks

Dangly boi!

TFTC have dropped my pen. Took a photo.

Got it!

Cute little pen. Freezing day but at least almost no Muggles. Nice view

TFTF - a great cache to find with the kids and play in the cubby

Nice hide!!

Yeet

Thanks!

Nice easy one loved the blue watermelon vibes very very enticing TFTC YUM YUM THAT WAS DELICIOUS

Thank you!!!

Great

Nice straightforward find on a lovely peaceful afternoon. Tftc

An interesting location. A bit like a cubby house. TFTC Tankengine

I first had plans to go down to the Harman Caches but when the light faded as I was here near the wetlands I though I may as well do the last two caches I was missing.

This one looked dawnting once I was inside looking in the dark at all the knobs in the tree branches, luckly I turned around and there it was in my face.

Thank you Tankengine for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Had a half-hearted look for this the other day when doing the nearby AL. Bought a spare pair of expert eyes this time, fat lot of good they were. Expanded the search area a tad and there it was, nicely silhouetted against the sky !

Nice easy find ??

With the weekend off from work and my other plans didn't happen, I decided on heading to Canberra for the first half of the long weekend. I arrived on the Thursday afternoon and settled into my motel room and apart from getting dinner, (Domino's) I really just rested. This is because I had been up since 1:30am that morning for work and I decided that was the best thing to do. Friday morning, I headed off to visit some friends at the Tuggeranong Lutheran Church for the 'Good Friday' service. I decided on leaving early so I could do the walk around Jerrabomberra Wetlands to do the Lab and find the caches around it. Unfortunately, I had a DNF plus I didn't have time to get the AL bonus. I headed off to Church and it was a great service. I caught up with many friends and I was even invited out for lunch which meant I had even more time to catch up. It was a great lunch and we even played a card game which is like 'Phase 10'. It was time to leave and that is when I decided on find the bonus of the lab. This was a nice quick find before I headed back to my motel. I also logged a 'GCA Locationless Event' and now time for dinner. After dinner I logged some GCA Locationless Caches to fill in time. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO's of the caches I found for allowing them to bring me and the rest of the Geocaching community enjoyment. TFTC's

soo fun, hidden in plain sight (but still difficult) from ellie ️

Thank you

TFTC. Thank goodness no snake encountered during the find!

Yay! Great day at the wetlands. Lots of lovely caches. TFTC!

I feel like I could camp out here for a week and no-one would notice. Jad planned to get a cache in Jerrabomberra, but was waylaid by my GP with a discussion on the CoViD vaccination process in Australia, so Jerrabomberra Wetlands seemed to be a good alternative in the rain as it's much closer to home.

Out for a ride with Jondub around Kingston and the wetlands. TFTC

Found with Curloo. Thanks for the hide.

Took a wrong turn getting to this cache and tore some of my favourite shorts hopping over a fence, but the find revealed itself to me...right in front of my face as I hid from a muggle passerby TFTC!

TFTF!

After a morning geohike with AngelG27, Fox In Jox, TikvaNZ and ZQX, I decided to continue my mission and grab the labs and the other caches around the wetlands

Nabbed this one on my wander around the wetlands grabbing the labs. Swung by this one as it would be rude not to! Easy find at GZ!

Thanks for the hide, Tankengine

1:33:00 PM: (2 of 2) Find#12010
A detour from my way to a lunchtime work do.. only a short walk.. thankfully grass is mowed to GZ phew.. second spot found it!..
nice location and good hide.


thanks Tankengine

With the amount of both rain and sunshine recently, the vegetation in this area has become menacingly tall and made GZ quite difficult to access. Once there, I spent 15 minutes barking up the wrong tree, only to realise my bag was right at the cache once I'd succumbed to checking the clue.

Cache was also guarded by a mob of kangaroos this evening.

TFTC!

This was an easier find than I had been expecting - and in a very pretty spot. Thanks Tankengine!

Tftc kids enjoyed the spot

Quick one on the way out. There was more log space here than the last 2 caches...

TFTC.

Second for the day on our walk around the wetlands. TFTC

TFTC. This is our first find. L pen.

An easy find near a gorgeous old tree that looks a bit worse for wear tftc

Continuing on the AL walk with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) and approaching this cache hide. T had previously done, so one for me to do. On arrival at GZ, after a short search, located cache. Log signed and returned. TFTC
