Spending some time caching around the NSW/ACT southern tablelands with lots of side trips. TFTC. A half busy caching day today starting with some solved puzzles out at Cotter. A few trads on the way back, followed by an Ad Lab and finally a ftf. A great day with a few family visits.It's very busy along here today.

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

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.

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

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 1:00 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

Replaced with black preform according to hint.

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

Thanks for placing the cache ALL7.

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

No sign of anything in the guard area

Another quick find on this cache run. TFTC

Easily found

A quick roadside park and grab while passing through the area. TFTH

Ugh - more but done

Quick pick up on the way back from Sherwood Forest. Great to get this series today on my way home. All good with cache.

Thanks For getting me out and about ALL7

Ticking another off while out for a dog walk. Nicely tucked away

Found with O319

Quick find with sjg66

Needed a daily find and glad I kept a couple of these around for that.

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 #6 was a relatively easy find but may have moved from it's original hide, however that's OK and the cache was extracted and signed as the traffic zoomed past. Always happy to see pharmaceutical based containers - they make sense don't they.
Cheers

An easy find, TFTC ALL7

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!

#1803

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!

A straightforward find - thank you!

I cached on the way home from the 'Welcome Back (to the) Cotter' event. The cache and log are good. I signed GW and for the Cotter Road caches after this. TFTC ALL7.

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

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.

Found at 5:50:00 PM

Quick find on the way into town

Thanks ALL7

Second and last on my way home today and another quick find. TFTC

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!

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.

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.

#5398 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.

A quick find.

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.

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

Driving out to the Cotter and Lees Creek area for some caches with Marmaduke Rothschild, we did a few drive-bys. TFTC.

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

Cache 5082 on 12 May 2019.

After a quick paddle this morning, it was off to do brunch stuff with my mum and daughter and then I had some time free, oh what to do? And then the sun came out and I got called ... to do some more caching. So Bobl27 and I headed out to the cotter grabbing a few on the way and then a couple on Brindabella road. We DNFd one, but will be back for it later. 8/9 caches found, so not too bad.

This cache: quick find in the expected place.

Thanks ALL7 for the cache and the fun!

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.

Counting down, but the traffic is getting a bit busier.
Thanks, Robmc.

#15906. 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.

We did a couple of these the other day and intended to do them all on the way back into town today. Unfortunately too much traffic close on our tail meant we had to miss a few.

Thanks ALL7

Cotter Road #5 failed to post, now corrected, but the logs for #7 and #5 are out of order. Oh well. It's still day 300 of my streak. This is the the last one for me to find in this series. As usual, it was an easy grab. I've enjoyed the series and the drives I have been taking out here. Thanks for all these caches, All7.

Have a favorite point for the series.

We appear to be completing this series backwards but that is due to the fact that we are doing a loop. We have enjoyed our day driving through this area and visiting places we have not been to in about 10 years.
Another very quick find here.

Thanks for the hide ALL7.

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

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, it was nice and quiet on the road this morning.

This one was lying out in the open - think it was blown out of it's hidey hole. Replaced a bit further back but still might be displaced.

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.

17,322. 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. Wrong guard again !

Done easily TFTC

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

Found with nissan 65 . Drove up after work last night. Early start after breakfast and coffee. Thankyou for the cache.

Just on an afternoon drive.

Quich park and grab in good condition. . 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

Had three caches out this road yet to find sitting in among my finds, they came out later after the ftf night that saw the others found. Worked out well though because today I needed 3 caches for a challenge and these three here would be good. Was a bit of a stretch time wise for me to get here and to work on time but managed it ok, well, well enough!

Drove to the furtherest cache, to #7 to make it easier having all the caches on the side I was travelling and then quickly found each one on the way back but did have a few more problems getting #5 the last one out, it had worked it's way into a tricky place. A lot of traffic passed at each cache but I really don't think people pay that much notice as they zoom past.

Thanks for the cache ALL7, was a nice day to be out and a good start to the day.

All good so far.

No pressure on finding these caches.

Thanks again.

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!

thanks for the cache

#8545 - 11:50; 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

TFTC

Quick pickup on our way through. Still more to find in this series but they will need to wait for the next time we pass through. TFTC ALL7.

Tftc.

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

Heading to Cotter, so grabbed these ones along the way. All found OK.

Thanks,
