I think the geocache might be missing..

I think the geocache has been taken, could you please have a look? There were some people at the skate park suggesting that they may have taken it home..

Found it. Thanks for the logs letting us know the location had changed slightly.

Quick easy find after reading log suggesting it was about 10m away. Cheers.

Nice spot to have a rest

Having already achieved success in the latest GC Game, Cosmic Quest, I am now concentrating on GCA's Geosportz. I haven't ever played this game before, and I love the different challenges it throws up. This cache fulfils one as it is so close to a skate park. Imagine how I felt when the cache was missing again. After chatting with previous finders, that fact was confirmed and a new cache in a slightly different location was left, having signed the log. Many thanks to the CO, InnocentApple, for allowing me to replace and log this cache so the game can go on.

Tricky little one. But former log assisted greatly. Thanks for the find.

Searched for a good half hour but couldnt find

TFTC - took a while to find (and think we recorded the wrong name!)

Gees that was a solid 10m in the opposite direction from my signal. Glad to finally turn this into a smiley face. Tftc

Cool tricky spot

This way cool

After being around so many avid cachers throughout the mega event, I missed the caching adventures. This cache was well hidden but previous logs made it a quick find. Hidden back as found. Thanks InnocentApple for the cache!

In Canberra over Easter for the GeoBash Mega, and out caching with Infoferret today. Canberra has turned on some great weather for us this weekend, She is keen to find caches in as many suburbs as possible, so we stopped by here. IF found following hint from previous log. Log signed as TINZ.

Out and about finding some caches on a beautiful sunny day.Thanks to my new geocaching friend for bringing us here. Tricky find.

I'm out with my new friend Monchichi. I've tried this one before, with no luck, probably due to muggles. It was certainly not in the hole where it is today. RoddyC and Hatzoff recently replaced it, and today I have a smiley. TFYC.

31 March 2024 15:46 TFTC InnocentApple for placing this cache, number 14017 for me. Took a bit of finding. A Previous log helps.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.

Catching up on logging from the 2 MEGAS.Visiting Canberra from Qld and staying with family while here.Out with geofriends from Qld and came by this cache while chasing caches in different LGA's as well our To Do list. Log signed 4 for Qld.Tftc

Visiting Canberra from Queensland and was with geo-friends who had previously found it but not this time., Hatzofff sent a photo of her previous find to CO who was happy for the cache to be replaced. Log signed and cache hidden in same place as last found. TFTC

A kind geocacher has replaced the missing cache and is now there to be found again. Thank you hatzoff for replacing the cache on my behalf.

Believe this geocache has been taken or destroyed

Not able to find

Had four kids climbing all over still couldn't find it

The third attempt with Mr Jd and with tools this time still can't find it , so I will give up on this one for a while

The cache is still there, it is very well hidden.

Hint - it is in a very tiny crack

Climbed around for a while with no luck.

Poked around for a bit, but did not find it.

Not my day. The muggles hampered my checking of the rocks for the container. Definitely be back to search again.

DIE

Found

??

For those that didn’t find it, Look in the rocks at the edge of the bridge. Clear plastic tube with a white lid.

Thx I am so sorry again it was really cool and I thought it was amazing

TFTC! Nice spot. Clue: bridge + rocks

Came out this way to pick up a few caches with DSD, TFTC

Found and signed dsd or ab or darksidedan or Adventure Boys to save space in the logbook. Thanks for the great cache and the Adventure.

Not today

It was hard to found I hope the next person finds it

Good spot

Out this way today to complete the latest Tuggeranong Adventure Lab . I decided to pickup a few caches that we normally drive past on our way to the Namadgi National Park to hike . It all took longer than expected to find all of them as none were straight forward finds. Spent more time looking today than walking Noooooooo!

Took a little while to locate this one ️. I walked up and down, then right around the structure before deciding to ignore my GPS and look at the satellite image instead. I then concentrated on that tiny piece of real estate. The cache was soon at hand - very clever! TFTC InnocentApple.

Did not find

Maybe next time

Not our lucky day

Three times we went to find this one and it was only by a natural removal of critters natural camouflage that we found it. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks InnocentApple. All good with this cache.

Out today to get catch some caches on our 2nd day in Canberra with RoddyC and Team Benders.

Sadly another DNF. It is the closest to where I am staying a d this is the 2nd visit.

If coordinates are spot on then it is missing.

Finished on a high with a smile at this one. The last one for the day.

They say practice makes perfect: lucky repeat attempt. Sneaky.

Took a few trys

After a long nights recovery sleep, I headed home via the Cooma Lab caches. I wanted to get a few normal caches, so I found five in the southern area of Tuggeranong valley.

Once I found a spot to park I walked down, and eventually noticed the spot this cache was hidden it.

Thanks for the cache InnocentApple

A straightforward find today in a likely spot. Second attempt here - easier on a hot, quiet day with no one in the playground. Thanks.

Nice hiding place
Second time lucky
Thanks for the cache

I appreciate the super accurate co-ordinates.

Caching with Goldenwattle and Decrypter on the south side today.

Waited for a couple of muggle kids to pass by then it was off to recover the cache for a quick find. TFTC InnocentApple.

Caching with Binliner and Decrypter. Pleased to change to . TFTC InnocentApple.

Caching with Binliner and Goldenwattle. TFTC.

TFTC Great day for caching today, thanks to the CO for placing and maintaining this cache.

A few drive by caches in the southern suburbs of Canberra. TFTC.

#13869 @1125
After an early morning mission with others chasing some higher D/T caches, I headed south to grab a lab cache at the top of Tuggeranong Hill, and then top up my find numbers for the day. Almost too hot to be out walking/caching, but the exercise was good. This was my second attempt here. I was rained off last time. This time I found it in the first place I looked. TFTC.

Third and final find this afternoon. Gilmore, Chisholm and Richardson.
As per previous logs parked at nearby shops and tracked around to GZ.
Coordinates were almost millimetre perfect and spotted the hiding spot on approach. Logged and returned. Thanks InnocentApple.

21,884. Found this one on a wet day while caching around Canberra.

Did the usual trek in to Canberra to find some caches. After parting ways with minniek I continued on to fill a calendar day with some of the Southern Suburbs series. Parked near the shops (?) and wandered down to GZ. I had read the logs and saw that it could be a tough find, but my caching goggles were on today and I made a nice quick find. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then headed off to the next one.

Thanks InnocentApple !!

A second DNF. Today I concentrated on the rocky slope and looked for loose rocks. Last time I found a loose rock, but when I lifted it there was nothing underneath. Today I couldn't find that rock, or any other loose rocks. Likely I didn't check them all, as most looked secure. After a search still a DNF.

Yet another DNF in this series. (Not everyone logs their DNFs, but I do.) When I saw the fencing around the playground I thought the cache might be unattainable, but the coordinates didn't take me there. Instead they took me to the stone slab slope near the underpass, on the shops side. I searched there and nearby. I left after about five minutes of searching. Another DNF.

Instead of usual exercise route, we decided to run/ride in a different direction, and took The Woofer along for the adventure - in the icy cold wind and drizzle!

NOTE: We only realised when we got to the first cache that we'd lost our pen somewhere on the way, so had to take photos instead. Hopefully this is ok!

This one was a lot harder than we expected, even after reading the previous logs. Just too many options! Finally we stumbled on it, and were on our way to the next one. TFTC!

This was actually a tough cache to find! The camouflage fit's into the terrain absolutely perfectly which made it overlook the hide at least once! Took a thorough search and narrowing down options to finally find it. Thanks to the now accurate coordinates the options were limited so I was able to persist.

Very sneaky, well done and TFTC

Another quick find in this series and keeping my daily find count going. Thanks InnocentApple.

Took a while to find. Love it! Thanks

Today was a day for a Tuggeranong cleanup... quite a few new caches have been placed since my last trip down here...and a few more puzzles solved.

Thanks to the CO's for all the caches

Had a hunch about this hide and was right. Quick find.

TFTC

ALL7 visited the location on my behalf while I was at work, ALL7 used the GPS device to obtain accurarte coords which ALL7 sent it to me and I have updated accordingly few days ago. Thanks.

That was a tricky little hide, I was close to giving up because I was running out of time before my bus TFTC

A quick find on a overcast and drizzly morning. Getting a little close to the school. Pick your times to find carefully. TNLNSL TFTC

Thanks to ALL7, the old coords were a bit off, have amended to the correct one. Cache on!

InnocentApple asked me to assist him with the placement of more caches in the series... Thanks

That’s a clever hide JC!

Out and about with Aquilus1 and Tankengine for some local caching fun.

We had a good, productive day finding most of the caches on our list and what a lovely sunny day to be out having fun with friends.

This cache: Well that took a while. Had to search both sides of the bridge to find it. Coords had me more to the middle of the bridge so took a search on both side to find. Tankengine found the goods in the end in the place we expected it to be. Tftc InnocentApple!!!

FTF position signed at 7.20 am .
A couple of early bikers riders went past but apart from that no one around. Birds were having a great chirp in all the nearby trees .
Tried a few spots up top and below and soon had the very sneaky hide in hand that will have some head scratching .

Many thanks to the suburb highlight and cache hide.

Chooo [Found] with dty73 and aquilus1- more later. Coords about 10m our and sneaky - harder than D2

Out and about with dty73 and Tankengine to collect a few of the newer caches about town, such a lovely day to be outside enjoying the sunshine. We searched for a little while, just eliminating each location until TE expanded the radius. Increasing the T helped, D about right but cords approximately 10m out so was just a matter of time to reach the correct location.

Published

Alas - a DNF for me. Either this is harder than a D2, or the coords are out...
