Toll Dale O'Connor, Australian Capital Territory, Australia

Unfortunately, this cache is missing. Since the hide was pretty difficult to make, I can not easily source a replacement.

It was nice knowing you.

Found a bench and a decoy. Found another bench dumped in the creek. No cache for me today.

No luck despite a good look

After finding a multi nearby to this one, we thought we would have a go at this traditional, since we had to pass it almost on the way back to our car.
Finding our way into GZ, we were surrounded by beautiful wetlands and some lovely carvings.
We found a red herring very quickly, but despite a very good search no cache for us here today.
Thanks EthisEthat. A beautiful place!

Couldn't find the cache, but found a syringe where it should have been. I disposed of the syringe so that it wouldn't cause any harm to the next cacher but didn't go back to look for the cache.

Not my day. Found the Red Herring first. Then moved further afield to find another one, however it was under mud and water. Shall return to try again.

Like a lot of others we found the red herring first - love it! After a fair bit of hunting around we eventually found the cache. Very clever! Thank you for setting up and maintaining this cache.

Tftc

Definitely a fave for this one, clever and nice spot in the middle of the burbs. Found the red herring 1st dang-it

Tftc. While I searched and searched, Mrs Jaybeem turned up, bent over and handed it to me. Gee, thanks! Good spotting.

This one was a doozy for me, spent a while wondering why the terrain rating was only 1.5 before finding the way, only to get red herringed at GZ! Got there in the end, TFTC )

Our GPS decided for this hide that is was just going to not cooperate at all, so we were left to just go off satellite imagery and our surroundings. Once we had meandered our way to GZ, the hint only left a few possible options. Fortunately we have seen sneaky concealments of this nature before. That doesn't change the fact that it was a great hide though. Thanks again EthisEthat

Great hide! Reading the logs helped TFTC

I was looking for an easy after work cache (injured knee), so I decided to visit this one. I had driven paat numerous times. This didn't exist when I was still living in O'Connor ans it's nice to see the network of wetlands across the inner north.

Interesting history about Toll Dale.


TFTC

Doing an inner-north cleanup....so many new caches since I worked in Turner and had a nice big clean area.

Satellite view helped find the way in! Found the decoy first which surprised me....

Out and about on scooters this afternoon.

Once we found the right way in the clever cache was soon spotted. TFTC!

Interesting location. After I worked out the way in a few minutes later had the clever cache. Thanks.

Round and round the houses ... well, pond. Once we had the approach it was a quick find. But we attempted a to get to the cache the wrong way a few times. Nice cache, BTW. I think I’ve done a cache here before. Lovely spot.

TFTC

Was in the area for a stroll. I recognise this place. Cache is on point, good hide, we’ll done.

Yay! Also did my frog survey here
I live how GC takes me to hidden places like this wrtland. Oh oh! Hail!gotta run
TFTC!

Hmm, aha! Nicely done.

Didn't screw us.

Great container, took a bit of puzzling. TFTC!

Found on a big day of caching around Belconnen and North Canberra. The hardest part was finding the pathway into GZ but it was super cool and worth it. A quick find at GZ. An awesome container in a lovely location. TFTC EthisEthat and Nooty!

Thanks ethisethat!

Such a lovely place to visit. Have walked past before but never really had cause to stop. Thanks for the cache. Having seen similar caches in the past, we made a quick find today.

Nice hide!
I didn't have a pen as we were out for a stroll, cute little spot too

Quick and easy find

Another sneaky hide in a place I would never have known existed. An interesting little spot. Tftc

Found the red herring and then the geocache. TFTC!

Cache 7561 on 23 May 2021.

After tea and cake with family, I managed to slip away to grab a few caches for today with Bobl27. It looked like a few caches had popped up around Lyneham so headed there hopeful for some easy ones. A bit trickier than anticipated and decided to skip a few for various reasons, but ended up grabbing some nice ones on a gorgeous day.

Third one of the day, and a fun little mission. Today was wetlands work day and so there were around 10 people enjoying morning tea nearby. Bobl27 and I could not spot the cache and so asked the peeps if they had seen a container in their clean up, as the area was looking spic and span. They had not but a couple of chaps came back to help us search. After another brief search, they called it quits, but I looked around once more and spotted what needed to be spotted! Phew - nicely done EthisEthat!

The chaps were very impressed by the cache and keen to make sure they did not disturb it when doing their work. I gave them my details just in case they wanted a CITO organised , which seems quite likely so stay tuned!

Thanks EthisEthat for the cache and the fun! Fav point comin at ya!

Out and about for spot of caching, today I brought an apprentice with me who's very keen to find as many as possible.

Very clever hide. Worth a fave point from me.

TFTC

Caught the red herring first, but the cache very quickly after. Awesome little spot

Neat! ta.

Tfth

A great location and history lesson for this cache, well worth a visit. After all the rain cache remains in good condition. Tftc

Nice spot, and interesting history. Knightech and I are enjoying a few hours of caching. TFTC.

Out with Mr Jd Great day out caching - tftc

#10539 - 13:15; Dropped the geohoney in the city for some retail therapy and then headed off on a caching mission around North Canberra. Parked near the tennis courts and made my way to GZ where first choice, like many others before me, was the red herring, quickly followed by the real deal. TFTC EthisEthat & Noooty

Found the cache nice and quickly after reading the hint as our phones were pointing about 8m behind. We stayed to find the red herring we read about in previous logs. Thanks for bringing us to this very pretty spot!

Took a while to find the decoy, then quickly found the actual cache. Quite sneaky. TFTC.

Found on visit to Canberra, TFTC!

Very interesting location. Definitely made it a T3 the route I took in work shoes. Tftc.

Started looking in the bushes where GPS indicated, before going back to the area mentioned in the hint. Cache spotted quickly and signed. Others mentioned the decoy, so managed to find that afterwards as well. Always a nice spot here.

Thanks,

Like others, found the decoy and then the cache itself. Neat hide these. Thanks for another one EthisEthat....

FTC~

Northside caching on a hot day. This was a quick find, firstly of the decoy and a moment later the cache. Thank you.

After picking up my new E-MTBike, I cycled home via a few caches to top up my find numbers for the day. as I arrived at GZ, I got a phone call so sat down to take it. While on the call I spied the cache. A clever hide. TFTC.

Pretty sure there was a cache here before, so I had no problems finding my way to GZ where the decoy was quickly to hand. Followed by a quick find of the real container. TFTC EthisEthat and Noooty

Found with Jemalong&family TFTC

Took a little longer than I wanted for a quick find after work but after reading a log something I had just seen clicked in my head and I quickly found the cache, a nice little hide. TFTC

Picked this one up after driving back from Melbourne. TFTC

FFFFFFFFFFound by FFFFejerffffam

We just had a hit at the tennis court hit a ball into the bushes. Spent yonks searching for the tennis ball but to no avail. But before we left, we decided to have a quick for the cache.
Got to GZ and started searching and had the cache in hand soon after. Cool container.

TFTC EthisEthat and noooty
Have a fav point

Found with ALL7

Found with InnocentApple..tks

Wow lovely spot to sit found nice and easy placed back where it belong TFTC EthisEthat and Noooty

After an early work knock off for Christmas Eve we decided to collect a few caches before feeding animals and picking up the parental to stay with us for a few days over the stand down period from work.

Last one for today before heading homeward to feed animals along the way.

Nice spot and a quick find to the sounds of the nature.
Thanks for the hide Noooty

First one I’ve found actively looking for. Form factor surprised me.

Indeed a beautiful location. Peaceful to look at with the cicadas in full song - music or noises, maybe 'music'? Love the artwork nearby. Yep! Found the Red Herring first but it gave me confidence I was in the right place as my GPS was out by 3m today - probably due to the canopy. Thanks for bringing me here again. TFTC EthisEthat and Nooty.

TFTC, Jas

22,099. Found during another meander around Canberra today while still trying to stay out of the worst of the heat.

Headed into Canberra today despite the weather as I wanted a bunch of caches for a challenge I'm doing. After dropping minniek off at work I headed northside for some hopefully short and easy finds?? After a bunch of those plus some other errands I went and picked minniek up again after work. We tried this one, and after doing a circuit we found our way in, found the decoy, then found the cache - nicely set up ! Signed the log, replaced the cache, then headed off to the next one on the list.

Thanks EthisEthat and Noooty !!

Found with fitzy_1965 on the way home from work.

Took a bit to find our way in, but soon had decoy then cache in hand.

Hmmm well I found three caches tonight in practically one location???

The first one was at GZ, but it just looked wrong (pic attached). I have NO idea where this has come from or how it got here?!?! The second cache I found a fair bit away from GZ and was one I already found back in 2017 (Duck, Duck Cache) then I needed help to finally find this cache! As my phone kept drawing me away I was going to look at this spot when I first arrived, but my coords were saying elsewhere and the hint sort of works now that I know where the cache is, but I didn’t just go with my gut when I should have.

Really nice cache though and a lovely spot. Tftc EthisEthat and Noooty!!!

Having scooted to work from Macarthur avenue, this one was very close to my drive home. I have been in here for another cache, but it is a nice area. Plenty of people playing tennis, but the new spot is well out of view so there was no problem taking my time looking around for anything that might giver me a cache. In the end I found two and it is a great hide.

Thanks for the cache EthisEthat

It's Back!! A bit harder and out of eyes of prying muggles!

I used to live nearby and played a lot of tennis here. My brothers and I would take turns playing each other or using the brick wall to practice. Easy pick up this morning before work with no tennis being played.

Condition Report:. Good and dry
Log Status:. Lots of room

Thanks for hiding this cache EthisEthat

Temporarily disabling this till I can relocate it.

Hmmm I must have come at the correct time! I was also here today, but had no troubles with the cache and actually really enjoyed it! This camo is always a pleasure to find and much more exciting than a basic cache, although it was the first place I looked so maybe the neighbour didn't have time to spot me as I was so quick!

There was two people using the tennis courts, but they were on the court infront of the carpark so couldn't be seen as the building was between me and them.

Thanks EthisEthat!

Just to add to the nasty neighbor saga, I had just started a search when I was literally yelled at from across the road. Seems the elderly "gentleman" has taken it upon himself to be the local police/neighborhood watch/tennis club security guard. So, watch out. Needless to say I didn't bother with this cache. Maybe it could be relocated to the other side of the courts - away from prying eyes?

Good co ords made for a quick find .
Blustery out here today .
Many thanks for the sneaky cache hide.

I am currently 100km from my house on vacation and will try and fix this next Sunday if I can find a suitable spot.

Found with geokids 2 and 3

Cruising Southside with geokids 2 and 3. A few caches here and there, and of course exploring some new playgrounds. Checked out the biggin' up top of Denman Prospect, and what a beauty. Spent almost as much time there as we spent caching, totally recommended!! Geokids starting tired so headed home via, Kingston Foreshores and the nearby Macers. Gotta love those slushies!! No aggressive neighbours to be seen and heard. TNLNSL TFTC

Chooo ooo [FTF] - with Aquilus1 and Joolay!
We were just heading south to try for a FTF there, when this one appeared! - So we headed here instead. Arrived just in time to find Joolay searching for the cache. Didn't take too long after that, and the cache was found. Thanks ETET.

*FTF* With Joolay and Tankengine.

Out with Tankengine today to find a few caches and keep company on a bit of maintenance. Definitely a nice day to be out and it wasn't long into the morning when some new cache publishing had us off into a number of new directions and a few opportunities to join up with a few friends along the way.

Certainly some good variation to the day in both the caches and the locations, and the number of different TOTTs that were needed along the way exceeded anything else! Thanks for the cache EthisEthat.

We were heading south to a new cache but diverted to this once it was published on the way. Arrived to see Joolay at GZ and a straight forward find today. After dealing with a man from across the road Joolay joined us and together we set off for the new cache south...

[FTF] with Tankengine and Aquilus1. I received the notification and saw it was close so decided to get my act together and head to this one. Coords were a bit over the place but I looked up and Tankengine and Aquilus1 came racing in. They spotted it immediately and soon had it signed.

A person came up to us while standing there and quite aggressively asked us what we were doing. Not sure how long this one will last but just told him we thought we had lost something there. He went on his way and we soon did as well. Thanks for the cache EthisEthat and Noooty

Quick find after a coffee at a local cafe. Coords a bit off but otherwise good. Thanks EthisEthat and Noooty
