Fishing at Ginninderra Spillway Evatt, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By Flintstone's on 01-May-21. Waypoint GC9CQXP

TFTC. I actually found the container In the grass, nearby, which I'm sure is not where it should be. I hung it up, hope that's ok

I checked on the cache and it was indeed wrongly placed. Replaced now in the original way. All good to go again. Cache on.

TFTC! Grabbed while having a quick fish

Eye sight isn't as good as it used to be so missed it firsttime. Tftc

Caching with Dino and Flintstones we found this cache. Nice sunny winter day. Thank you very much for providing us a fun thing to do here Flintstone's

I checked on the cache and it was indeed half missing. Replaced now. All good to go again. Cache on.

Out and about with ALL7 for a quick or not so quick lunch time jaunt and collected this one. The joys of working from home. But makes for a long night working. Contacted the Co for this one as it appeared that half the cache was actually missing. Thanks for the hide though Flintstone's and thanks for the fun ALL7.

Found with FFLL and good laugh.. One thing missing half tin .Please need replace .. tks

Ich bin bin mit Flintstones cachen gegangen und have dabei diesen netten Cache gefunden. I went caching with Flintstones and had fun time. We also found this nice cache close to sunset awesome hide. Took me a while to find while the CO was watching. Vielen Dank fr den tollen Cache (TFTC) Flintstone's und greetings from Germany.

We caught a fish and put it back where it belongs. TFTC

Cache is in perfect condition, just spied the faint attachment, cheers for the placement

Find Number 2833 found at 08:39. Today we found 10 caches, 12 Adventure Lab stages and had 0 DNFs. Day 2 of the Canberra GeoBash Mega event. GeoSon NationalSteel and I targetted specific D/T combinations to attempt to fill our grids. We also did some more of the Adventures, plus a few special caches.We were staying with a friend who lives near here so we decided to show him what caching was about. We found two caches near his home. Another tricky find. Our friend was most impressed.The cache was in good condition. We signed the log and replaced the container as foundThanks Flintstone's for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Second find of the day near where we were staying. Spotted the hide and then let our muggle host Mick work it out. A fun one in a nice spot. TFTC!

Yer another dnf , sigh ..

Some Belco region caching today, and I finally got around to looking for this. Worked out the trick quickly - a nice setup here! All good with cache and log.Thanks, Flintstones! A favourite from me.

Fish caught today at spill way

Nicely done - a clever hide

#1896 Slowly catching up, more to come…

TFTC. Wow! What a great hide. I checked this place twice before I found what I was looking for.

Found with SA a while back. TFTC

Came past and checked. All is in place.

No luck today

No luck today

Clever hide! I was out with my geohound and unfortunately didn’t have a pen. Photo for proof attached. TFTC

After 20 minutes of searching I returned the first spot I checked and then noticed the tell tale sign of the cache. Should have been more thorough the first time. TFTC.

Nice hide, found it!

cheeky spot. tftc!!

Nice hide.

TFTC

It's Easter Saturday and another glorious day of caching. Parkrun first after a sleepover in Scullin and then caching all over town, knocking of a nice variety of types and sizes. Hard to spot this one!

A DNF for Decrypter and me. We searched around, and we might have found the hide, but the only tool we had, wasn't long enough. I also had a height problem. DNF.

DNF.

#1741 After my second failed attempt here I wandered over to Traffic Tree for a quick find. I couldn’t resist another attempt. Once again I checked places I had been over a number of times. Finally, finally I spotted a sign and came up with the goods. So happy to finally have a smiley in this spot. Thanks Flintstone’s for having me frustrated yet intrigued here for quite some time!

Second attempt here with no luck. I’ve got no idea what I’m looking for.

Out on a Walking Church Adventure around Lake Gininderra and I convinced Dobby, D and A that we should check out this cache. It was quite the hunt before we managed to find the cache, which was located very much how I had expected it to be! lol ah well. Thanks for the creative hide and the extra entertainment on our walk together. Thanks for the cache.

Free after my school holiday lockdown, so headed out here to try my luck. Spotted it fairly quickly and retrieved OK. Thanks

I overlook the hide a few times as I searched some what blindly due to my lack of stretch! Tried a few methods and was sure of where I felt it should be but no cache. Up to the walkway above which is rather a good view given I could barely reach over the wall let alone see before!!! Sure enough being able to see what I couldn't before and the moment it sunk what I should look for. Back around and a more specific search, I was pleased to soon have the cache in hand! Yay! Thanks for the cache Flintstone's, great hide and location. The WP for the trail head was rather useful too for a pleasant walk through.

A wonderful wander up the path , to a reasonably quick find. Very interesting spot, I have driven past here a lot but first time down here. Thanks Flintstone's

A very nifty hide that it took two passes for us to get our mitts on. TFTC and thanks for introducing us to this nice little spot.

First find of the year. After the short ride from home with the eldest boy, it was a quick find. after reading a few logs during lunch today I had a good idea of what to try. We have thrown in a line here ourselves once or twice - with no luck. Tftc.

Tftc. 1st find of flintstones. Had to request additional clues although we had suspected gz. Great hide.

A quick park at the parking coordinates and a dash down to the cache. The only problem was that it was through high grass and I got those annoying things stuck in my sock that takes an ETERNITY to get out. However, soon I reached GZ and was met with a very large KEEP OUT sign. Hmmm, moved a bit further away from the coords to look elsewhere. I had an idea of what to look for as I have found a couple of other Flintstone's caches and the name and logs supported it. But when I looked from the bridge I saw something a bit further away that required further investigation. Something that I had missed on the first sweep. And sure enough, I saw the telltale signs of a cache and soon had the logbook in hand. TFTC Flintstone's!! Interesting location!!

Out getting some takeaway this evening, trying out the (under new management) place at Melba. 30 min wait for our chips and burgers so I decided I could swing past and find a nearby cache. Upon arrival at the end of Read Pl, I discovered a bunch of muggles milling around GZ for my original cache target. I waited around a bit but they were only slowly moving. Not geocachers as far as I could tell. Time was inexorably moving forward so I decided to ditch my original plan and (literally) race over to find this cache instead. So I was quite puffed by the time I arrived at this GZ. Thankfully it was a quick find even though it was a clever hide. And then I had to bolt back to the car. I didn't want to eat cold chips! TFTC

Found this nice Cache together with Flintstones on a walk with Hoppy in the low light of the evening. Fred made me aware of the cache and I had fun searching but found it really quickly. A very nice hide thanks to the owner

#12160 - 11:07:00 AM; Another mission with Sol de lune today as we worked to clear a few more caches around Belconnen and Hall. The Hall leg and the major part of the Belconnen leg completed, we headed towards Lake Ginninderra for a couple more as we headed for home. After collecting a cache further along the creek, we headed towards the spillway to give this cache a try. We searched in quite a few places, including the hiding spot, without success. Read some earlier logs and voila, cache in hand! Tricky little hide TFTC Flintstone's

Out with LuckyL10n for a couple of hours 'exercise' and after meeting up at Spence we headed around the area to grab a few.

Arrived at the GZ and wondered about it for few minutes. Searched a few places without luck, then LL tried a spot a second time and the cache was soon snagged. Log was signed and all was good.

Thanks for another one Flintstone's....fav point for hide.

This was the last find of the day on our loop around Ginninderra Creek.

It was The Scarlett Leprechaun who found this tricky little one.

A great hide and a favourite point from me.

TFTC

Very nice hide! Our final find on a fabulous morning caching adventure with CorvettePete. Tftc

We fished well TFTC

Tossed a line over the edge and found the catch of the day. Ta.

Hard that is very hard pog

Well this was a bit tricky for awhile but ended up finding it by looking from the right angle.
TFTC Flintstone's

After fishing for a tricky cache elsewhere, Barb2e, Kittykatch, Joolay and I decided to get this fishing cache as well. It did stump us initially, but after a closer inspection of GZ I eventually had a lightbulb moment and we soon had the cache in hand.


TFTC

Found with isopeda, barb2e and Joolay on a fishing trip around Canberra. Cool sneaky cache.

Thanks for hiding this cache Flintstone's

What a sneaky spot but we did some successful fishing and made the find. Tftc

Loved this cache because I walk my geo-hound past here often and it's always great to know you are walking past a cache when you are out. Took me 3 goes to get it due to fisher-muggle activity and looking in the wrong place (as usual).

Fabulous to see how this location has been utterly transformed for the better since I was here last. The spillway was overflowing deeply, evenly and fast thanks to the weekend rain. With the lush green mowed lawns now surrounding the waterway and the beautiful warmth of the Spring sun ️ late afternoon the place was a picture (see photos). This was one ️ of only three caches I could find today.

After taking a short strollup on the walkway I had a fair idea where to find the cache for a quick and easy retrieve soon after. Worth a favourite point for the location. An hour later it was great to run into Flintstone’s and Pebbles further up the path on dusk while we were after the same cache. Always a pleasure running into other cachers. TFTC Flintstone’s.

Took the trail marked in the waypoints, thanks for that. I had a pretty decent search around the area, but in the end I had to PAF to make the find. Thanks for the challenge.

With the Altitude challenge in mind, I headed out into the cold afternoon after work to visit a few local caches. I think this might be my third cache down here. It is by far the most difficult to find. I must have overlooked the key several times, even though it was exactly what I was looking for. Very happy to have found this one.

Thanks for the cache Flintstone's

Chooo ooo [found] on a nice Sunny day! (For once). This took a while! After exhausting all the obvious spots - I was about to PAF, but then I spotted it! So found ok in the end. Thanks Flintstone's!

On a quick caching loop around Evatt & Melba, grabbing everything worth grabbing.

Took longer than it should have!

Awesome cache at a cool site. Didn't take long to find since I was here with the owner but nonetheless a cool hide. A fav from me.
TFTC Flintstones

Plenty of water on the spillway today with no one around early .
Found, signed and replaced .
Many thanks to the Flintstone’s for the sneaky hide and location highlight .

2nd visit, first was last Friday when it was raining (just sprinkling) and overcast. Left with every intention of a find today and found without any trouble and I looked there 100 times last Friday

Signed the log dsd or Darksidedan or AB or Adventure Boys to save space in the logbook thanks for the cache and the adventure. Included with my log is some random photos to push me closer to the Diamond Badge on Projectgc. The photos are not about this cache.

A quick find at GZ

Found with IamCoust

Ahhh yes fishing in the spillways! I used to walk / ride around the lakes in Gungahlin regulary. Both Gungahlin Pond and Yerrabi Pond are known to have fisherman in the spillway's and I would regulary find fish carcass nearby, not very pleasant!

After a quick search with DSD we soon located the well hidden cache! Looks like a couple others were here today too!

Thanks Flintstone's

Found instantly upon arrival without even using gps haha. Thank for the hide.

Found with The Matetrix

Growing up in Evatt many many an afternoon was spent in and around the spillway, creek (as it was back then) and the swing rope at the swimming hole (long long gone). Recalled a number of those memories with TM, but only mentioned a few to him. If only he knew!

Parked nearby and walked along the trail right up to GZ. A quick find, sign and replace before heading back the way we came. Favourite added for the memories. TNLNSL TFTC

Ftf with biteyourknee and TikvaNZ more to come.

#15505 @1955 Joint {FTF} with dty73 and BiteYourKnee
I happened to spot this one just after it was published, and thought it looked interesting enough to join the FTF hunt, especially after sitting down all day. Parked as close as I could, and wandered to GZ. I was first to arrive but was joined by dty73 before I had zeroed in on GZ, closely followed by BiteYourKnee. We searched up and down, and along while discussing what the hide could be. Before long it was found just as expected. TFTC.

After putting the little ones into bed I noticed there was a notification for a newly published cache. Hmm.. it is over the other side of town, but why not join the hunt for first to find! By the time I arrived there were two other cachers already there hunting around for the goods. After a few minutes searching about I hear Dty73 noticed a point of interest and next thing you knew tikvaNZ had the cache in hand.
Thank you for the interesting hunt, it was enjoyable!

Made a plan to go get a cache with dty73 at 8pm so I put my phone on to charge and was sitting watching some TV and having dinner. Then I figured I should check my phone to see if there was any updates to the plans... oh I missed the new cache coming out. Knowing the ftf would be gone by the time I got there I debated going out but figured why not. Nice quick walk go GZ and a quick second to find with Dty73 watching on.
