16th of 26 found today.Another day out getting numbers and just enjoying the day without the need to be anywhere at any particular time.Most caches in this series were placed thoughtfully near to a convenient parking spot, and most were in good condition except where noted.The log is gross. Sticky mess so I was glad I had water to wash my hands afterwards..TFTC ALL7 and the series.

Out and about again, headed around Canberra for the MEGA. Super excited my first MEGA and heading over with 2 others from the Cockburn Crew. Today is we are out with a group from Western Australia and signing the log as WAC to save time and log space.This is 15402, hoping to clock over the 15,000 finds in the week in New South Wales and ACT.Thanks to ALL7 for the caches we found.OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024Head 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.

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 ALL7! Join us in Augusta, in Western Australias South West, for WA Goes Big 2024 (GCAGV8Y) on Friday 20 to Sunday 22 September. Log your will attend now!

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. Thanks to the COs for a great day and event. Logs signed as part of team WA/WAC (WA Crew)

This was such a great series for us to do, just about all the caches were found in excellent condition and with great coords. Thank you for placing and maintaining them ALL7

A quick find on a brilliant morning. Thanks for the fun.

Found with Moonb1, McLookers, Maccamob, Muzza, Pprass, Team Crackers, Rabbitto et al on a day caching in the Canberra Area.

We found this cache on Day 2 of our Vic1 Canberra Run in company of Muzza, McLookers, Micaparamedic, Alansee, Moonb1, Maccamob, Team Crackers and Pprass. Today was our Uriarra and Cotter Loop. Thanks from D B-A

Found at 9:35 AM in the company of the Vic 1 team
Alansee worked out a route for us to do today which included some very challenging AL's and we ended up at an event where the locals were to meet us! A big day that showed the beauty of the ACT and surrounds after the fog finally lifted! Most of the caches were way under rated though - nearly all of them were just a D/T of 1.5/1.5 no matter how hard they were to get to or find them - not very imaginitive in that sense.
Thanks to ALL7

In Canberra with fellow cachers VIC1+PPrass to tick off some ad labs and other caches.
Thanks for the cache ALL7

In Canberra on tour with Muzza, Rabbitto, micaparamedic, Team Crackers, Alansee, Moonb1, maccamob and pprass. Log signed Vic1.

Thanks for placing the cache ALL7.

Second day of group caching in Canberra. All caches signed as Vic1. Found in a large group consisting of McLookers, Micaparamedic, Alansee, Moonb1, Rabbitto, Team Crackers and Pprass.



My thanks for the cache, ALL7.

We hit Canberra on a cache assault with Alansee, maccamob, McLookers, Micaparamedic, Moonb1, Muzza , Rabbitoh and Pprass The Drive to Uriarra Road series was our start today. We were hoping for some great scenery but the fog had other ideas but we still really enjoyed this nice little series which we happily found all the caches and to save room in the logs signed as "Vic1"
Many thanks ALL7 For setting it up.

Nice - wish the geokid was with me

#621 A big day caching with Turtle284 out this way today, with minimal service and only our downloaded lists, we were prepared to pick up as many as we could and still get home in time to keep the family happy! We picked up a few dnfs too but that didn’t dampen our spirits, thank you to all the COs today!

Continuing to crack on with this series we were making some pretty good progress, thanks for the cache ALL7

#2537 Chipping away at this series. Still early days but five from five so far. Onward we go. TFTC.

Mr Minion and I had driven out past here to grab a county cache I needed, So I thought we would grab a few in this series on the way back into town . Thanks for the cache ALL7 tnln replaced as found sl

This one was good and easy. Thanks, All7.

Finally got some time to go caching with DRT and as a bonus got to ride in his new Geomobile.
Today we set out to get me to 3000 so we hit a trail. Some today had wet logs and some were right out in the open, not hidden at all as if someone just threw it on the ground and some may need the T rating adjusted.

We made a quick find on them all today and re-hid those that were out in the open in a logical spot - TFTC

Having recently acquired a new car I headed out with JuSoJaRa today for a spot of caching, when I went to pick up Ja we discussed where to go and what to do. Ja advised that he was just short of 3000 finds so that kinda became the mission for the outing.

Out we went to drive along Uriarra road to look at V trees, whilst avoiding thefting of any stamps and having some fun along the way.

So many caches they all blur together but several had D/T ratings that didn't seem to meet reality and around about 1 in every 3 along this stretch was sitting just out in the open nowhere near any cover and another third of them had water in them so perhaps some TLC may be required for this trail. But in every case we did what we could - Tipping water our, placing caches back under cover etc etc. All in all a reasonably successful drive through the country side hunting for numbers.

It was a nice drive indeed

Went on a mission with LJtheDJ today to pick up as many caches along here as we could. We had a very successful day and didn't miss any from this series. Thanks for the fun!

Found on a Planned trip out here with Injuryman.

TFTC

A quick find in waning light. With a distinct lack of torches we will come back and finish this series another day. Thanks for the caches!

I am surprised that nearly all the caches along here have near identical ratings despite there being a wide range of terrain and difficulty levels. Thanks for the hide.

After completing the Star Wars Letter Box series, we still have some time up our sleeves before our next catch ups. Therefore we continues caching along Uriarra Road.

TFTC

Heading back up the road towards Canberra, we pulled over and soon had this one also. It is a little overcast today, but that makes for good geocaching. Log signed.
Thanks ALL7

Out on a great caching morning with the WEEO when we found this first of the letterbox cache series.

Three Kings and WEEO escaped on Boxing day morning for a brief Caching trip. The weather was great, fine cool but sunny, lots of cyclists on the road. Thanks ALL7 for laying this trail down for us. It is some glorious country with outstanding views. We saw plenty of bird life but no Joe Blakes, so all was well. )

Quick find on a hot afternoon. Tftc

Found, thanks

Outwith dty73 and Tankengine and competing with cyclists. Kutgw

Back to find more caches along this trail. Thanks for placing.

Was heading past again today and decided to pick this up, missed it last time. TFTC! Recently maintained

Missing?

It's Australia Day long weekend... so of course, Finalf29 is at Cancon and that must mean I am caching... today I'm out with ALL7.

I helped ALL7 do a maintenance run on her Uriarra Road caches. I have permission to log finds without signing. We checked over 50 caches in 41 degree heat... ALL7 would have just keep going... she is a caching machine... but I had to still do the big drive home. Thanks ALL7 for the wonderful conversation, laughs (I know you are still laughing about that spider!) and putting out a great series. I will definitely be back to help you with more... if only to make you laugh!

Nice hiding place
Found with Toyhunters Thanks for the cache

Found with sebass14 on our geocaching adventure at Uriarra. Today we aimed, and then suceeded, at grabbing the Uriarra Road caches we had missed previously; grabbing an easy find in Uriarra Vilage; and grabbing a solid portion of the caches on the road to Wee Jasper before we had to turn around (unfortunately, as always, work often gets in the way of fun)! We wanted to do this before the long heatwave begins later this week; however, it was still hot today and it was probably the maximum temperature we'll ever want to cache in! Parking along the road was quite easy today; there were a couple which required a short 100m walk from a safe spot nearby, but most of the time we were easily able to grab the cache quite close to the air-conditioned car. Most caches were pretty quick finds; some required some hill climbs and some adventurous scrambling through thick branches, but it was all good fun! Lovely area to drive through; it's a shame about the very dry grass but the hillsides throughout looked stunning. TFTC ALL7!

This cache in good condition and quickly found. Silvereyes and Travelgran hid it well. Thank you ALL7 for all these caches along this road.

This ne was quite exposed but all good with the container and log. TFTC

Found a little uncovered, lovely gum tree nearby with different colours, Tftc

Another quick find as I clear out the road

Quick find, on the way home from a early morning hike at the cotter dam, all in good order.

Thank you ALL7 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

A few days caching in the ACT and surrounds with Steeba and The Rats, another trip away like countless others that we have done before. We got the dates, we did the planning, we worked out a route. But there was one thing that we could not plan for; the weather.

The caches were excellent. The company faultless. The weather; atrocious. High winds, cold, sleet, rain, mush, icy, snow, we had it all! But we endured, and had a fantastic time regardless. Did I mention that it was cold? Bone chillingly cold. I am not sure my fingers have as yet recovered! Some roads were even closed due to snow, curtailing our route and resulting in some last-minute changes.

Please forgive the boiler-plate log, I assure you it is no reflection on the caching experience of our few days away. Thank you to all cache owners for their hides.

Cheers

A very chilly couple of days in and around the ACT with The Rats and Hoojar- most of the time the temperature didn't peak above 4 degrees! Amongst the sleet, rain, wind and cold however we made plenty of finds on mainly a number of power trails. TFTC!

Headed out for a caching run with steeba and Hoojar that had a bit of everything. These caching runs are planned months in advance and to-date have been perfect. This trip was no different – except for the influence of the WEATHER. A weekend in the Canberra hills that had howling winds, driving rain, sleet, hail, snow, frozen body parts slippery icy tracks, closed roads and temps that never got higher than 6 deg by day and were subzero all night, but alas we had a great boys weekend caching.

Apologises for the generic log but it doesn’t detract from the caching fun, except for the WEATHER which played a major part in our weekend. Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides.

Found at 6:00:00 PM

Was passing by.

Thanks ALL7

Tftc!

Headed out today to finish off this trail with Rapidlywild as our plans changed due to one of the FF's pair being sick.
We replaced 3 caches one missing from a guard rail two others were more than likely taken by the local wombats. CO was notified about the locals. Replaced a couple of soggy logs too.
Other than that all caches were found in good condition. A lovely winters days to be caching in this area with all the bike riders.

Thanks for the trail placements ALL7 and thanks for the laughs and company Rapidlywild.

Original plans were modified for today being we had an unwell FFLL member, so FFLL#1 and myself decided to head out Uriarra way to finish off a trail we had started another time and collect a couple other randoms along the way.

We replaced 3 caches today (with CO's permission) and replaced a few mushy logs, there were alot of bike riders out and about today and once the fog lifted, it was a beautiful winters day.

Thanks for the hide ALL7 and thanks again for the fun day out FFLL

Found as part of Mystery at the museum challenge.

Found with Decrypter. D was out seeking jewels for the MatM challenge and I was along for the ride and to grab some caches. We parked close to GZ and soon had CIH. Log signed, all replaced and we continued on our way. TFTC.

I decided to head out of town and travel along quieter roads! This was a perfect place with not many cars and many caches! TFTC!!

#7139. Have come over to Australia to attend the Mega event near Wollongong. But before that I have a week to explore Sydney and Canberra. I love doing challenge caches and noticed that Canberra was a hot spot for this type of cache. I booked three nights in the city. So many caches over here I will need to come back another time to work my way around the power trails. Headed out to this road after lunch to pick up the letterbox caches and any traditional caches on the route. After finding all the letterboxes it was back to the trads. Nice to be out caching in the countryside and taking in the rural views. Another quick find here. Signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thanks ALL7 for the cache. After doing around 40 caches out this way I can't remember each one of them but I am grateful for having them placed here. Greetings from New Zealand.

Our second target for the day was to look for caches in the "Drive to Uriarra Road" series. We started at #7 and worked our way to the end. We were hoping to get this series and the remainder of the caches (that we didn't search for yesterday) on Mountain Creek Road completed before the sun set.

One of the things we really enjoyed with this series was the readily availability of safe parking in all but one location. This made the driving component very relaxing.

Unless stated otherwise, the coordinates were reasonably accurate, the caches were found reasonably quickly and and the caches and contents were in good condition. There was a greater variety of cache containers in this series, with some being very unusual.

Thanks ALL7 for the extensive amount of planning, cache preparation and placement that went into this series. It was a mammoth undertaking which is greatly appreciated.

Returning from a short jaunt in Woodstock NR with Marmaduke Rothschild, contesta and a muggle. TFTC.

Found it!

On a caching trip with Lpud to pick up the ones on Uriarra Road. I'm enjoying the country views, fresh air and sunshine. A quick easy find. Thanks All 7

Caching on our way back from cycling and walking some 6 kms in the Brindabellas. The rain came down around 2.30pm and was too heavy to continue cycling on the dirt tracks so sadly we did not pick up the very last of the weird weirs (XIV Howells) in this area finishing up an hour earlier than planned. Quick and easy find. TFTC ALL7.

The penultimate day in Queanbeyan.
BettyBoo3747 and I decided to head west and investigate the Uriarra Village.
Picked up a small pile along the road out there and back.
A lovely sunny day with lots of bikes on the road.
We had never driven out along this road before, lovely views and good spots to pull off the road.
Thanks for this series.
Thanks, Robmc.

#15871. Day 15 of our 2 weeks holiday in the ACT and surrounds. This is our last day before heading home tomorrow.

What a gorgeous day the ACT has turned on for us, blue skies and sunshine and wonderful autumn scenery as we take the long road to Uriarra Village. Rob is hoping to finish off the Mapping Challenge today so we need to head to the Village for a cache. A most enjoyable day caching away from suburbia. We finished the day with 65 finds and 2 DNFs so can't complain about that.

Doing another Drive to Series along this very scenic road. A maintenance run of these and the Star War caches would be a good idea as a lot of the lids are cracking and some of the logs need attending to because of that.

Thanks ALL7

With Deaf geocachers Lucky9 and KB

Thanks for the hide.
Today I am OCW *Throsbyonchurch* and *DustyJasperJet*.
If we didn't planted a sticker in the log book containing all our names we left our inky names or initials "ToC LK DJJ". Thanks for the cache hide much appreciated by us all.

JoeyLovesTreasure and I had planned before the Clear Waters Mega Event to come out to Denham Prospect after and pick up the caches around the area to give us some more smilies, and today was the day, so we met up at the Tuggeranong Hyperdome at 10.30am and off we went. It was a great day, weather just right and we couldn't believe how many houses have gone up since I was out here last. We parked the car and walked over to gz and it didn't take long till we found the cache signed the log JLT & DD. I really enjoyed the company and great chats along the way this was number 12 for the day. tfctc ALL7

Darzee Di and I did a drive to Uriarra. Beautiful countryside TFTC ALL7.

Quick find thanks.

Driving to Wee Jasper, no traffic so easy to stop. Left a few swaps to make it more exciting. TFTC

Early this morning I drove out along this road hoovering up easy driveby caches. 2 hours had me 52 caches with no dnf's.
Not a lot of traffic pre 7am and a nice variety of cache containers as well as 16 letterboxes.
Back onto the non letterbox caches again for this long and enjoyable trail. Great scenery here in autumn!
Thanks ALL7 for this one

142 took a couple of things and filled with a few other things. Bag for this cache ripped.

A very quick find along this road while staying longer in Queanbeyan after the Clear Waters Mega event.

Visiting Canberra for the Easter Clear Waters Event and back with an extended team to find the remainder of this trail. Thoroughly enjoying the country drives and the glorious weather. Caching as part of Team Brolga. The copy and paste logs do not detract from our enjoyment and appreciation.

Caching as part of Team Brolga and we decided to head out this way because of the stormy weather around Queanbeyan. Did not rain at all while caching so made for a lovely afternoon west of the capital. Thanks.

Found with geo-friends and signed as Lucky9 during Mega event, thank you so much for placing it. Beautiful day today.

Found with geo-friends and signed as Lucky9 during Mega event, thank you so much for placing it ALL7. Beautiful day today.

What better way to finish of the Clearwater event than with another set of ALL7 caches. TFTC

A group of us, geoturtle37, beckNmonts, OzHockeyChick, Earthbound Chief and I, took off today to grab some caches in them there hills. We had a great day with only one near miss. No other incidents so a good day was had by all. Thanks for placing all these caches in such a lovely area.

Out with OzHockeyChick, Papi4506, Geoturtle37 and Earthbound Chief for the day, we started on this trail. Much running and leaping up embankments occurred. From one car there was loud music and the occasional singing heard. Scary stuff. We made our way through the trail with only one person, who shall remain nameless, almost becoming roadkill. All of the caches we searched for, we found, and all were in good condition. It’s just such a shame about Carrie Fisher, isn’t it? Such a waste! Thanks so much for placing this series ALL7

Today Papi4506, Geoturtle37, beckNmonts, Earthbound Chief and I set off to hit up some power trails. This was one of them.
