TFTC! Dad (Suff_Smith) found this one ^^

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

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.



Many thanks to ALL7 for the cache.

Found at 1:11 PM 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.

We hit Canberra on a cache assault with Alansee, maccamob, McLookers, Micaparamedic, Moonb1, Muzza , Rabbitoh and Pprass Drive

We were picking up caches and this series was next. We did enjoy this drive and the hides and enough room for two cars at most locations.
The sun had broken through the fog by now and the scenery was great
With this many eyes looking the most of the caches Were found quite quickly and the log book signed.
Some were missing and have now been replaced to keep the series alive.
To save room in the Logs signed as "Vic1"
Many thankAll 7 For setting up this enjoyabl3 series.

Little cache had fallen out into the open so tucked it back into the guarded spot

Tyftc

Another quick find! Tftc!

Quick find

Out for a quick late night cache with GLISS! The crazy things we will do for the streak! Thanks for the cache. Thanks for the hide.

I had a late night at work, so I was keen for a quick find not too far from home. This one fit the bill. TFTC.

On my way to a scout camp. Brilliant weather, hardly any traffic.
Quick find.


Also claiming [lonely cache] as the previous finder didn't log it online and was seeking this out as such. Last find 26 August 2021.

Day 7 of our 2 week road trip south from Brisbane. After overcoming floods, a bogged car and vehicle electrical issues, we finally reached Canberra to spend a few days with relatives and explore some of the newer virtual and earth caches since my last visit. It was then time to continue the journey south towards the Snowy Mountains. This cache was one of the stops on my to-do list along the way as it had not been found for some time.

A chilly start to the morning today for us Queenslanders (1°) but, despite frozen fingers, the cache was quickly located and the logbook signed. Photo taken of the logbook as proof of the unloved days.

Sadly the subsequent logger of this cache will have to remove their unloved cache claim. Our travelling schedule doesn't allow us to instantaneously log caches but the find still stands, as does our entitlement to unloved days (Project GC stats calculations will back this up). Sometimes thems the breaks. TFTC

Unlucky

Out walking the dog on our hours outside time. Dropped by here on the way back. Cache all good. Tftc

Thanks for the cache! Another nice and quick find!

Quick find with SJG66

Found with O319

Couldn't manage to find the SES cache, and my arms aren't long enough to go fishing...so I had to make do elsewhere for the daily today! ??? TFTC!

Quick find on a drive out the cotter. All good with cache. TFTC ALL7

Thanks for the fun series ALL7. Turns out it was completed in reverse order this afternoon on the way back from supporting a scouts activity at Camp Cottermouth. Number #1 was a relatively easy find after parking the geo-golf on the side of the road (safely) and as the traffic zoomed past. Had another geo-vehicle stopped and propped further up the road. Kind of hope it was a geocacher.....
Cheers

After meeting up with AngelG27 and TikvaNZ for a Barrer hill geomission, I was off on a solo one to nab some more .

Wow.... there was so much traffic along here today! I carefully had to time my finds and replacements in between cars, motorbikes and cyclists for this series! But all found and all good

Thanks for the hide and for the series, ALL7!

Found with sumbloke. TFTC!

Jazzy3008 and I went out for a drive around the bush parts of the territory and grabbed a few caches along the way. We started off along Cotter Road, then tried to drop into the Space Centre before finding it was completely closed. Then we visited the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve before going to Gibraltar Falls. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon of caching and sightseeing.

A straightforward find - thank you!

Not hard to find in the dark but found it.

I cached on the way home from the 'Welcome Back (to the) Cotter' event. The cache and log are good. TFTC ALL7.

TFTC

Tucked in snugly, good hide, tftc

Today I managed to get away from work early enough to do a bit of caching before dark, and it was also a day I needed a few caches to meet my current cache count per day achievement. I spent about an hour caching along cotter road ending up at a fantastic spot by the river.

Thanks for the cache ALL7

Thank you ALL7 for these easy to find caches. Lovely country.

A quiet Saturday drive was in order, much needed break from the office and some fresh air. Decided to go grab this small series of caches, all easily found, signed and replaced. Thanks for placing them ALL7.

Quick park and grab. Managed to stay away from the speed stars although it was hard at times TFTC.

Love this drive and scenery .
Thanks to All7 for the hide.

With FFLL #2 muggle sister in town we were out and about doing the tourist thing, so as a bonus we were able to pick up some caches along the way as well.

Picked up this mini trail along our journey to Tidbinbilla tracking station. Thankfully all roads were open, no fires out here today but heaps of rain which was lovely to see.

Thanks for the all the hides ALL7

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!

Found on the way home after a long day at work

I was doing some 4WDing on the tracks on the other side of the river. I never knew all of these tracks were open, I assumed they were gated like all the tracks near where I live. Anyway, thanks to a friend and am now the wiser and had some fun this afternoon. Grabbed this one on the way back into town. Thanks ALL7.

Found on a nice loop with Tank Engine. The things you learn caching! Many thanks

Thanks to ALL7 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

We found the series of caches along this road with ilook4geo. Co-ords were good and parking was available near each one. Each log had two more names noted on it before all was hidden again where it had been found. Thank you to ALL7 for placing this series of caches, as we enjoyed the country drive and the scenery along the way.

So the caching continues while getting around the Canberra area with goingplaces2. We found a variety of caches today and enjoyed each of them, including this one. Thanks to each CO for being a part of our day.

#5397 I had a few hours free this arvo so I headed out to the Cotter to collect a few caches that have accumulated since my previous visits. It was a beautiful, nearly spring-like day today with just a gentle breeze.

I found this one but I could not extract the container. It was wedged into a tight spot and no amount of fiddling should shift it. Hence, I could not sign the log. CO might need to visit with a blow-torch.

Thanks ALL7

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.

Lovely to find a treasure in this one - was beginning to think travelgran & I were the only contributors! Donated too- tftc

Found on an awesome caching afternoon with sebass14. We decided to focus on getting the roadside powertrails around Mt Stromlo, including this one. With great teamwork, we managed to safely park near each cache and find each. Some caches were extremely hard to retrieve but all was fine in the end. Lovely area to drive through. TFTC ALL7!

Nice hiding place
Found with Toyhunters
Thanks for the cache

Found with GrimRaider on a drive out to the Cotter. Cache in good condition. TFTC

Quick park and drive. Tftc

Day eight in Queanbeyan. BettyBoo3747 and I decided to go visit the Tidbinbilla Deep Space Complex. Strangely enough, we found a few cache before we got there, while we were there, and after we left. We followed the Tourist Drive No.5.

We didn't mean to do any extras along the road, but they just kept popping up!
We did two on the way then decided we really should get to Tidbinbilla.
Not so restrained on the way south after the Space Complex.
We stopped when there were good pull-offs or when we weren't being tailgated, etc.
We ended up collecting quite a few.
Thanks for this series.
Thanks, Robmc.

#15615. Day 8 of our 2 weeks holiday in the ACT and surrounds. We are staying at Carwoola.

Robmc was keen to visit The Tidbinbilla Deep Space Centre today and what a glorious day it was to be out in this lovely Autumn-coloured countryside. The poplars are so golden at present and such a lovely feature of the landscape. A bit of a different day to yesterday - clear blue skies and a mild temperature. It was certainly the most scenic day we have had so far. Total smilies for the day - 36.

Second one in the series for us today and then we continued on. Maybe another day whilst we are here we can do some more, we will see.

Thanks ALL7

Day 298 of my streak, target 366. I'm taking a drive out here for a few caches., five or six depending on time, and how long it takes me to find them. Not that I'm anticipating problems ... This one caused me minor problems. I found it easily, but had trouble getting it in my hands. I could only reach it with a finger tip, so I had to scratch and scrabble until I AS ble to move it into grasping range. After that, it was easy ... Thanks for this one, All7.

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

Thanks for the hide ALL7.

On my way to the trigs around Cotter Dam and Uriarra. These caches were a bonus for the day.

Another great day out with woolwood9 hunting containers.

Suscoe's final morning in Canberra.
A cool morning but still and sunny and so it was really pleasant to be out and about.
We had a few more caches to find before we left town.

Thanks to ALL7 for this hide and this trail, a favourite for your work.
We have enjoyed your work while in Canberra this time.

Cache 4888 on 20 Mar 2019.

Another day, another batch of caches to find. After work today, Bobl27 and I headed out again to find half a dozen caches for a personal challenge. As he was not feeling great, we just looked to the drive bys today. Hopefully he will feel better soon so we can get some walking ones! Two of the caches were found on the ground behind the guards, and we replaced them in easy to get to spots. Two of the caches has slipped and were tricky to retrieve so we also replaced them in easy to access spots. All logs had plenty of room for more names and were in good order.

Thanks ALL7 for the cache and the fun!

Found with AngelG27 on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon after work. Lots of traffic, but caches found okay. TFTC:)

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to cache the Cotter Road I go. TNLNSL TFTC

Time to clear my map of a few unfound caches.

fitzy_1965 and I were out and about today with a push for me to get 2000 caches for the year. At the start of the day I had 50 to collect.....and ended up with 59.

Targeted the easy drive by caches for the most part of the day with all caches found quickly and easily. Thanks to the CO's for placing.

17,317. Boxing Day Cache run around the Cotter region with minniek.

A trip into Canberra was required to pick up geokids by 5.00pm, so we made the most of it with a caching run out around the Cotter. Cleaned up a couple of road series starting with this one. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and then we headed off to the next one.

Thanks ALL7 !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Tftc. More later. This series is perfect for me today. I need some quick numbers as I aim for 1000 by Xmas. Not sure I can do
It with all the shopping and celebrations but will keep trying. Many thanks to All7 and as a previous finder said, the council for maintaining the safer and security of the road with all these guards !

Done easily TFTC

Plenty of exercise with the car today - in and out, in and out... ta

Found with cullum68 on a couple of days away thanks for the cache

A quick park and grab in good condition. There are lovely colours in the distance. Tftc

Last night I had decided to set out early and try for big numbers again today. That plan was thwarted 3 times - breakfast out with the girls after gym; sidetracked looking at possible caches for the weekend and meeting up with fellow cachers - just had to stop and chat.
By the time I left them, smilie #5, it was well after a late lunch and I had revised my aim to 12 caches so that I only had 200 till my 6000 at Parkville. All caches attempted now carry my name though often as SG as it is quicker. TNLN

Find #11 for the day. Thanks for another wonderful PT ALL7

Found it,.. Thanks

An easy find to start.

After a quick visit to Rivers SES continued on to complete this series. TFTC.

**This Cache:**

Was quite happy with this short stretch of caches along Cotter Road today! The parking was quite decent at every cache which was a plus, and they were all very typical and safe hides. Lets take a moment to thank the roads authority for building so many crash barriers along this road for us to utilise

Thanks ALL7! All found and in great condition.

*see brief outline of entire day below*

---

**The Day**

Two events on the same day on a weekday! I'm sure I can count the number of events I have attended on weekdays on one hand, so to have two of them on the same day was a treat! Made plans with DSD who also had a day off work, and decided to make an entire day out of it, caching for three hours before the first event, and then a further 6 and a half hours between the two!

Was an extremely productive day, picking up **5 FTF's**, **7 Puzzles** , **3 Multi's**, **2 Events**, **Unloved Years**, **A Dozen Pathtags between us** and Traditionals inbetween!

Thanks to all the CO's and everyone who we met up with today!

On the way out to the Cotter for a cache maintenance run this afternoon, and grabbing a couple of caches along the way. There are a lot of new caches out here so time to get on to them.

This is an easy park and grab series, just watch where you stop.

#8542 - 11:35; After a couple of runs along Uriarra Road to top up a few days on the caching calendar, I decided to give the Cotter Road a visit today. Managed to grab half a dozen, but weed spraying in the area meant that there are a couple left for next time as there were workmen in the area when I came past. TFTC ALL7

Quick and easy late find for the day. TFTC ALL7.

Tftc. Took a bit of time to retrieve the cache, as it had been pushed in too far. Signed and replaced it for the next cachet.

Decided to hit this trail as well as finish off the Uriarra Road series. A couple of these were hard to extract from their hidey hole due to the nature of the hiding spot, but all was good eventually and the cache was in hand.

Thanks ALL7
