Today was my normal Friday after work outing and I headed up to Gungahlin. After a few local caches I headed over the Franklin CITO, where along with a good cleanup of the area where was a chance to catch up with local cachers and some travelers.
I headed down to the lake and had a good look around, maybe the DNFs put me off, but I was not able to find this one. I will have to come back and try again.
Thanks.

Nope...no joy for me here.
I've attempted this one four times now - the last couple of times I have searched with explicit hints from two previous finders as have searched up, down and all around but each time have left empty handed and dejected. This one certainly has turned into my nemisis cache!
Thanks anyway, docker123!

Over from Adelaide to see the inlaws celebrate Cachemas day in a few days time. Good thing this wasn't camoed as it was easy to spot

Out for the afternoon, combining driving practice with my youngest son, and finding some geocaches. Cache soon found. TFTC.

Arrived at this spot with Tankengine, had a look around, but could not find it.
Tankengine had found it previously but it wasn't in the spot where he found it.

No luck for us today despite Gliss! K8tybee and I having a very thorougher look. Not able to find it high we had a bit of a scout around down low (in case the recent wind had helped it to a new home), but alas to luck for us there either. Guess we’re off to try something different. Thanks for the cache..
Tonight Nibletricecakes, K8tybee and i tried to find this one. After have a search high and low, we PAf'd two friends and both gave us the same hints. We had searched where they directed and double checked it, but did not find the container they described. I think it is missing. Could the CO check this one?
I’m 76 yo. Climbing trees is in my past. Fortunately there was an alternative. Thanks for placing this cache
19,171. Found during a birthday meander cherry picking caches around Gungahlin with GSC2000.
Parked nearby and wandered into GZ. With muggle locals watering lawns etc we were pretty stealthy, and after a short search looking up and down the prize was spotted ! Signed, returned, and we headed off to the next one.
Thanks docker123 !!

Found on the ground but in good order. Replaced were we believe it should have been. TFTC
Well that was unexpected. Lucky for hints and a strategic fence cache was soon in hand.
What a lovely area this is and it was a pleasant walk to the cache and I lingered after to admire the view.

#5289 Out with my usual geo-partner CBRChic. Today was our first designated "Mystery at the Museum" work-day and it was quite a successful one. The forecast was not great with showers after 3pm that did not eventuate, but it certainly turned cold with a bitter breeze.
We had some trouble locating this one. Then someone yelled to us from a nearby house wondering if we were looking for the geocache. They provided a useful hint and we soon spotted the well placed cache. I provided the elevation required.
Thanks docer123 and the helpful locals.

Found - what a laugh - neighbors saw us looking around came out onto their balcony and gave us a little hint.

4th today on a windy ride round the lake. Took me far longer to find then it should have, even when using the hints. Also a lot more muggles out then I expected on a windy... and chilly day like today. TFTC
Tftc. Found quickly, now how to get it down. Thankfully some considerate person built a fence under GZ, so I could step up.
I've had a nice little pocket of caches appear in this area so was keen to come find them. We have been having some lovely winters days lately and a walk about the reserve seemed a nice way to spend the morning. So with GreyHams we made plans to meet up and made our way across for an enjoyable morning out walking about the area with some great creative cache hides to be found and of course some good company too!
A change to the weather saw us arrive with the cold wind blowing right through so I was glad of the last minute beanie I had grabbed, regretting leaving the gloves in the car for a bit but once off walking and with plenty of banter and conversation the cold was not noticed and soon forgotten. (Was still pleased for the beanie though!!!)
Our pocket of caches complete and heading home but there was a few caches I was hoping to do. A few caches where I really needed my TOTT! A most willing and helpful TOTT as well and soon the cache was retrieved and handed down to me. Thanks for the cache docker123, and thanks to my ever reliable TOTT.

Today was the perfect day for a pleasant walk around Mulligans with Aquilus1... ok, maybe not perfect.... but it didnt rain at least. It was bitterly cold when we started with the wind cutting right through us, but we survived.
I have very few cache finds up this end of town so I was up for the loop, we did well. So many cool caches, some of them really should be 'large' I feel, as the enclosure counts.... not just the log container. Anyway, lots of cool caches up here.
I think it could go another half star for T.... but thats just me

#9217 - 18:35; After running a few errands and catching up with an old mate for coffee, I had some caching time available before I headed back for home, so I collected a few on the way, but was still one short of the number needed to top up my daily cache find for today's date. Stopped off for this one on the way to grab fuel for the geomobile and headed for GZ, torch in hand. The iPhone was moving around, but with the aid of the hint, I was fairly confident about what was required here. Couldn't spot anything promising, so reviewed previous logs. Seemed like I was on the right track so took the PAF option. My PAF confirmed that I had indeed already looked for the right thing in the right place and as we spoke, I looked down and spotted the cache container lying on the ground. Added my name to the log and replaced it in a spot consistent with the hint, but perhaps not its original perch. I suspect the T rating is a little more than a 2 too TFTC docker123
Took a walk to this one. Spotted it on approach and managed to grab it with a little careful positioning.
Thanks,
Thanks,
On my own so there was no-one else to delegate retrieval duties to. Looked a bit challenging but just managed to reach it for retrieval and replacement. TFTC docker123
Another great day out with woolwood9 hunting containers.
SL - Stamped logs as TM/WW NZ or printed tm421/ ww9
Big thank you to the cache owners who made our trip fun!

This one is just a short walk from home. I was away in Melbourne when it was published and was looking for a chance to come and find it. So, on this lovely Good Friday morning I took a stroll around the lake.
I was just arriving at GZ when a couple of other folks arrived, clearly with the same goal in mind. It was lovely to meet these delightful visitors from New Zealand, in town for the Clearwaters event. Between us we spent several minutes looking all around until one of my companions spotted it. I volunteered for retrieval duties and proved to be just a little too short. A tool was found and successfully deployed to retrieve and then return the little beasty. TFTC

It was a fairly early start this morning. A morning of caching with ZQX before he had to fulfill his volunteering duties at the Clear Water Mega.
This cache took teamwork to retrieve if you classify ZQX doing the retrieval and me watching as teamwork. TFTC.

The dog needed a walk so we set a path past the two most recent new caches close to home. As we approached I noticed a few people milling around GZ - it was TheDTeam, they had found it but were unable to access. With the container in hand I signed for both of us, while we spoke to some nearby muggles who were had noticed grown men in suits doing strange things in the middle of the day.

2nd on a day of about 25... MTB'ing all around the joint
I spied the cache pretty quickly, and saw the most obvious route. Despite being a Saturday morning, it was relatively quiet, so the cache was signed and back up before anyone walked by
TFTC D123!

OMG not fun when you and your Geo Kids are short! Thanks to Froggycacher for grabbing it for me! First time I have come across another cacher looking for the same cache... I stood back for a bit watching him look, I had already found, once I realised he was there for same reason, I asked him nicely if he would help me out!
I loved this cache! My sort of hide, although I think the T rating could potentially be a 2.5 considering how tall you need to be, and the position you need to get too.
A quirky little hide however and something I don't usually expect often so was surprised when I spotted it.
Well done and thanks for the cache docker123! A good first impression for your hides

Tankengine and I were out and about in the area picking up some of the new caches that came through.
This one was our first stop. And I must admit I was very thankful to have had Tankengine with me as I'm not sure that I could have reached the cache myself. It is VERY high up! Tftc docker123!!!

Found today whilst on a hunt of some new North-side caches with dty73.
After this one, I am starting to think that this Docker dude is rather tall! - Was a bit of a stretch to reach this one! So after a false start, due to approaching muggles, the find was executed, the log signed, and the cache returned!
Thanks for the cache D123, and thanks for your company dty73 - I really enjoyed the day!

A quick find, no one about, until.....
Now no one about, retrieve, log and replace, before another muggle comes walking, jogging or cycling by. TNLNSL TFTC

Yabba Dabba Doo *FTF* at 2:32pm! this one is nothing for small folks
A bunch of new caches up north, had to give that a try and leave my lunch going soaky. [:o)]
This was the first one I went to. Once at GZ the container stands out and was quickly spotted and clear what to do. I did it with ease but my arms were fully extend if I remember right so this will be interesting for the vertically challenged among us. I like the bold hide though, nicely done that was fun. Quite busy with a few walkers at this time.
Thank you docker123 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.
