Found today when searching for GCABEKH which is now at the same location. As per the archive note the cache is soggy an unusable. Thanks, ALL7!

Found the container at the base of the tree. Nearly stepped as I started to climb the tree. TFTC

bye cache

bye cache

Stopped by this cache on the way past today. The container has a cracked lid and will need to be replaced when the CO can

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

check later

Log soaked. Temp log in a new bag left.
TFTC

Lid is cracked and log is soaked & unusable. Have placed a temp log in a new bag

A fast roadside find.

CO maintenance required as the lid was off and the log is soaked.

TFTH

Soggy, i’m sad to say.
Great Tree

Decided to finish up a little early at work today and go for a drive to collect these caches whilst the road is less busy.

Another stop with nowhere to really park safely. The log book is saturated

TFTC

Find # 7231
Nice quick find.
We tipped a cup full of water out of the cache, hence the logbook is soaked.

Headed out with LuckyL10n for a few caches along here before work. No problems with any of the finds and the caches were all found without issues.

Thanks for a few more caches ALL7....

Found this cache on a trip around our nations capital. Thank you. for hiding and maintaining this cache, *ALL7* .
Warmest Geocaching regards from *AppleCircus*


I went a searchin' a cache t'day,
I looked and looked for that cache t'day,

A mystery did I say,
A mystery I did not find t'day

I did not find it in the bush,
I did not find it in the tree,

By this time I was starting to ponder,
could it be over yonder?

So off I went trudging over there,
but I could not find it anywhere.

What an adventure. Found it, and had a great time.
Thanks

Found -- 3:31 pm -- Thanks for bringing us to this location and Thanks for the hunt *ALL7*.

**Cache Condition:** Average.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
**Trackables:** None seen in this cache today.

**The Cache**
Bag not zipped and scrunched into cache. Log book soaking wet - but I dried it out.

With CIH we signed the log in either our names or our initials in some switcheroo form of LP, DJJ, ToC and then returned cache to its hide'y hole exactly as found.

**The Day**
OCW *Little Panther* and *DustyJapserJet* on a much welcome and overdue camping trip for a few days at one of our much liked locations in *Gundaroo,* and tackling a couple of power trails and caches in *Canberra*. Totally enjoyed ourselves getting a better look at *Canberra.* Never had a need to venture the back streets but as usual, Geocaching takes us to the back streets which gives us the opportunity to see things we don't normally see. I really like *Canberra* and i've often thought I would love to live here, but now, I'm not sure I'd cope with city living, too much of a country girl.

17 = 17 0 0 [8)] not attempted.

>PLEASE
ZIP BAGS CLOSED so the log doesn't get WET
Please have consideration for cachers who come after you.
Time, effort and money have gone into this cache.

Floating around on the hunt for **ZQX - ZQX Episode**. Found while OCW *Throsbyonchurch* and *DustyJasperJet*. All signed, sealed and delivered and we evacuated the scene TFTC! **ALL7,** Your efforts in placing and maintaining this cache are much appreciated.

Nice hiding place

Catching up on some very late logs.

Day 2 of our planned assault on Canberra with the same group consisting of The Drovers, Phetlern, Micaparamedic,
Alansee GoodLook, and ourselves.

We had another busy but very enjoyable day chasing series caches and happily we found all we were looking for with no DNF's

We all had a fantastic day and would like to write more but as we have said when you do so many in such a short time it is hard to remember individual hides.

This in no means takes away from our appreciation to the CO's for all the effort, time and expense they have done to let us find so many caches.

As per the other two days we signed as "The Mob" to save room in the log books.

Many thanks /// for the hides and the fun.

Fun, adventure, travel, history, geology, mental stimulation, social gatherings, support and friendship are just some of the elements of geocaching.

Out and about enjoying the opportunity to grab a few caches, yours being one of those I targeted on my journey today. Thanks ??

Thanks ALL7 (F=18985 H=1365) for placing this cache and adding to our game.

Did this cache with a group who logged as THE MOB. All in all we were appreciative of the CO's efforts in putting them out. Apologies for the generic log but what can one do?

We stamped the logs as "The Mob" to save space in the logs - today there were 6 teams caching together: Team Crackers, The Drovers, Phetlern, Alansee, the lovely micaparamedic and myself.

Most of the cache finds were straight forward, yet a couple stumped us. A few were located where it was difficult to safely pull the car off of the road, but we made it work with some creative maneuvers.

2020 was not a great year, and the beginnings of 2021 have also been tricky - so when it looked like the various borders would be open again (without quarantine restrictions), a trip that was planned at the Clear Waters mega was able to occur.

Adelaide, Victoria, NSW and Canberra - a decent drive, filled with various caching activities including Adventure Labs.

Several days caching with the awesome Team Crackers, gorgeous The Drovers, fab Phetlern, cool Alansee, and the lovely micaparamedic.

We laughed, sang to a vast variety of songs and chatted - almost non-stop! [^] We piled into cars and had such a fun time. Despite the light showers, windy conditions at times, we also had sunny days to enjoy caching in.

A sincere thanks to ALL7 for placing these caches, including the enjoyable little series.

The second day of caching, as "The Mob" setting out from Murrumbateman with Alansee, Good Look, Micaparamedic, Team Crackers The Drovers and ourselves, in glorious autumn weather, we had a fabulous day of fun, friendship and finding caches.

Thanks ALL7 for placing so many caches on the gameboard, which players enjoy finding.

Helped replacing the old or damp/damaged log papers for ALL7. Found all of them, except few missing ones which are replaced by new caches. She taught me how to do as a cache owner one day that’s why. Glad we had a lovely day and via first half-way, we visited the Robyn Rowe chocolate cafe on Nanima Road for a cuppa break. Lovely delicious handmade chocolates. Worth a visit there. Then on final half-way, we done the cache researching to the Casey Jones pub for a good cooling-down break with and .

This cache was on our way into town today with ilook4geo and was a nice easy find. No problems with the any of caches along this road. Logs were all signed as usual and were put back into their proper place before we moved on to continue the hunt for the day. Thanks go to ALL7 for placing this cache to honour a fellow cacher.

Out for a fun day of caching with goingplaces2 and the caches placed along this road were nice and easy to find. All were in good order, all logs were signed and all replaced as found. TFTC.

Found with Nissan 65. Headed up last night from the south coast for a few days caching. Thanku for the cache.

Wanted to find 8 caches today, but since Bobl27 was not feeling well, I decided to pull geo-son out of his room and go for a drive in the country! All caches found quickly except the last one, which was slightly more tricky. Hypo even found one for me! Some well known ACT cachers in this small sample, a few of them my buddies!

Thanks ALL7 for the cache and the fun!

Lpud and I found this on the way home after having lunch at Collector. Thanks Allk7

With BomEm, on a caching run, picking up more of ALL7's series.
Nice easy find.
Thanks ALL7.

Last day of school holidays today. My youngest daughter and I spent most of the day geocaching before swimming lessons in the afternoon. Back to grab the two caches along the road that were unreachable while the road was closed. TFTC ALL7.

À great Sunday for caching in Canberra, started out very cold, but turned into a perfect day. Did lots of kilometers of walking on and off track and could have saved a lot of time by taking the pushbike, but really enjoyed the walk. Then decided to tackle a bit more of the powertrails before heading home.
TFTC Wilbert67

The road looks freshly paved. This is number 13 today, the last one down this way. It was lying on the ground, likely blown out of it's hiding p;ace by the wind. I put it back more securely, I hope. Thanks for the caches, All7.

Found with Kittykatch and Nibletricecakes on a freezing cold day out and about to solve the mystery at the museum. Had a fabulous day and lots of fun. TFTC

Log great - dry and well. Cache full of water. Emptied it out, but wasn’t able to stick around and dry it fully.

Rain wind ice and snow made our trip home from Goulburn an adventurous one today!! Out on the hunt for clues and jewels with KittyKatch and Joolay as we solve the Mystery at the Museum. Thanks for the cache!!

Found with Joolay and Nibletricecakes on a drive back from Goulburn. We drove thru the gate to get this one. All good. ZQX is one of Canberra"s top puzzle hiders !

Not able to access GZ as the road is closed from both sides due to bridge works.

Had to move from EPIC to Gundaroo today to await the openingof Queanbeyan Showgrounds, after setting up we still had a full day to fill in so caching we did. Headed back towards Bonner looking at the caches along mulligan flat road. This cache is within road works and the road may be closed to traffic.

This looked a perfect place for a swaggie to take a rest on a hot summer's day. TFTC

I was in the mood for a geomission so decided to make the most of a cool day and hit All7's recently released "Canberra Cachers" series and a few randoms along the way

Most were easy finds and I had a fantastic day out driving around the country side. ! All up a fantastic day with a total of 125 finds and 3 DNFs. Apologies for the generic logs!

Thanks to All7 for another great series!

A quick run down one of the shorter ALL7 trails, given the time available to me today. TFTC ALL7

Tftc! Top cache

8342 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1234. SL Tnx ALL7.

After work finished at 9am I did the country drive along Mulligans Flat Road, Sutton Road Murrumbateman Road to Murrumbateman for lunch. After lunch back home along the Nanima Rd. TFTCs.

Smittengranny and I headed out early this morning to grab some of ALL7's new Powel Trail. We were fortunate that the little traffic we encountered was nearly always going the opposite direction. We found all the caches on the power trail that we looked for though some were much easier than others. We only had one DNF for the day.

A massive thank you to ALL7 for this massive new Power Trail. All the caches that we found today were in good condition. Smittengranny did all the driving and I did all the running. We made a great team. I signed all the logs DSDSG for DARKSIDEDAN and Smittengranny. I then returned them to their hiding places.

I cant wait to get out and do the rest of ALL7’s caches. I hope that ALL7. I have included a Geocaching Poem that I wrote with my log. I hope that everyone likes it.

Geocache Poem
By DARKSIDEDAN

My endless search goes on and on
Looking for treasures of every kind
Always chasing just one more find
Putting past DNF’s out of my mind

I step out into the world outside
Seeking what is hidden from me
What size, shape or form will it be?
Only time will tell, I can’t wait to see

Will I find my prize at the end?
I will search in the failing light and cold
Filling with despair having looked everywhere
Where is this thing that gives my life pleasure?

Looking all around from every angle
I read the logs and check the hint
I curse out loud as I walk in circles
Screaming the bloody thing it not there

As time flies by and I fail to see
Never once stopping to realize
It always been there before my eyes
No need for sorrow, there’s the Geocache

DarksideDan and I headed out early this morning to grab some more of ALL7's PT. We were fortunate that the little traffic we encountered was nearly always going the opposite direction.
We found all the caches on the power trail that we looked for though some were much easier than others.
A huge thanks to ALL7 for this massive PT togther with all the others that she has put out in the last 6 months. All caches were found to be in good condition. Logs were signed and caches retutrned to their hidey holes.

#4790 2nd for today

A very late start today: 4:30pm due to other commitments. I was almost resigned to giving it a miss, but I fought off inertia and headed out. Conditions were good if a little breezy. I thought I'd grab as many as I can before it gets dark & that should do it. I chose a circuit of Mulligans Flat Rd, then Murrumbateman Rd then Nanima Rd & back. None of this is too far from home.

I enjoyed visiting all the "name" caches. I haven't come across my own just yet. You've certainly been busy Heather. A couple proved too good for me today, but I wasn't going to spend a long time looking. In the end I was pleased to get as many as I did.

Thanks to the COs: ALL7

Noticed a series of caches published the other day and was super excited that they were close by. We decided to make the most of our Saturday by geocaching, so we started on the Hillview Drive onto Greenwood Road and then followed the Yass River Road and we ended up on Gundaroo Road.

We noticed two caches down the road towards Gunning, so we had to go and get them before turning around and headed back to Gundaroo for lunch. After a great lunch and a good rest, we left and started off by finding the Gundaroo bridge cache. A quick easy find and we were back on the road again heading along Sutton Road and down to Mulligans Flat Rd and before long we were driving into Bonner, ACT. We decided to call it a day and headed home on the Barton Highway.

All caches were in good condition and replaced as found, and a big thank you for placing all these new caches out there for us to find and enjoy.

On this trail today, start of our week end, beautiful weather, so glad it’s the week end and an opportunity to be back out doors.
TFTC

I had a free afternoon so gladly took the opportunity to head out and collect some caches to the north of the ACT. Apart from 1 DNF and several that couldn't be accessed due to muggle presence at the GZ it was a pretty productive outing. TFTCs

With the recent release of a heap of new caches just north of home, a last minute decision was made that FFLL#1 and myself would go on an afterwork adventure. In all, we picked up 97 caches, not a bad effort for a Friday evening Seen a few roos, a few bunnies and not many cars which made for a nice evening out along the country roads. Apologies for the generic logs.

Thanks for the cache hide and series ALL7 and thanks FFLL #1 for another fun filled adventure.

After a busy week at work, we thought that a bit of night caching would be in order this with this new trail so close to home. So Rapidlywild and 1/2 of the FFLL team headed out to tackle the 97. We found it much easier to cache along these roads at night as the car traffic was light and the critter and wildlife traffic increased as the night went on, bu they caused us no issue. A great night for caching, with a cool breeze and all 97 were found. Thanks RW for another fun filled caching evening.
Thanks ALL7 for the placements, we really enjoyed collecting them and can't wait for the remainder to be published!

ZQX - long time cacher with a penchant for puzzle / mystery caches!
Out of their 3,200+ finds, almost 50% have been on puzzle/mystery caches, plus they have placed 60 puzzle/mystery caches of their own.
As someone who finds many puzzles caches entirely puzzling, I admire their efforts!
Another worthy recipient of one of ALL7's tribute caches.
TFTC, ALL7 and thanks ZQX for your contribution to Geocaching!

fitzy_1965 had to fill in another day of his 20/20 calendar so we did a detour today on the way home. Wasn't too far out of our way.

He had picked up a couple yesterday but kindly let me grab them today. Quick find for me today.

You seem to have caches all over the SCT and some in NSW. THANKS ALL7
