Found with a fun group of geofriends while in the area for a geocaching adventure. Signed as Canberra Canoers 24 (CC24). TFTH Will change to found log once qualified.
Found with minniek and the rest of Team CC24 (Canberra Canoeists 2024).Day 2 of our Colo River Region Caching Adventure. After an amazing days caching yesterday mainly on the river, it was time for some bushwalking for caches today. The main aim were the Challenges and Yin Yang series (or at least as many as we had solved). Nice quick find. Signed, returned, and we continued on our way to the next one.Thanks ilook4geo !! Will check my stats for this one.
A good find with EverestHigh, Brewmaker and 4Rods, but I need a few more Trads before I qualify for this cache. So a write note for now.
Found and SL, but not qualified yet. OCW Its_Dozzie, 4Rods and Brewmaker. TFTC goingplaces2
After a big day caching around the Colo River, 4Rods and decided just one more to end on a high would be a bonus to grab before we parted ways. We pulled up near GZ, and walked a few hundred metres to discover the cache in the first place we looked.I still have a long way to got to qualify.
Spending some time caching around the NSW/ACT southern tablelands with lots of side trips. TFTC.Another day around the hills of Colo River collecting challenges, solved puzzles and traditionals.A great day out with the Canberra Crew signing as CC24. It was hot & exhausting with lots of bush walks over many hills. Wonderful scenery. A long convoy of cars carrying kayaks. Awesome.Many great puzzles that are well thought out. Many to still solve.I don't qualify yet.
Log signed today, I've a lot of work before I qualify.Today the Canberra crew that had gathered in the area for the colo River caches, met up this morning for group caching. We started the day walking a trail of challenges, before moving on to ying yang puzzles. Our group consisted of kittykatch, joolay, contesta, MinnieK, Fitzy, search4, Aykayem, smittengranny, FurfacesLL, loci, Nibletricecakes, Gliss, TikvaNZ, sacada and myself. We signed as CC24 (Canberra Canoeists 2024) as our group name to represent all cachers.A nice walk through the bush for the challenge caches. The cicadas were loud, oh so loud at times! But a good series and a stunning view out over the colo River we had paddled from the morning before from the trad at the end.With our walk complete, we convoyed from cache to cache mostly doing the ying yang puzzles solved. A ferry crossing saw the last cacher cross, but the ferry sat on the other side chatting to the one car returning and after a long time waiting we turned and went of caching our own way unable to cross. Later, we crossed elsewhere only to meet up with the group returning!!! A warm day and the walks become too much for me with hills, a great day (Weekend) though and time to return home. A great area to visit and cache, thanks for your cache!
Returned this afternoon after a long paddle and a straight forward find.I had DNF this one previously but couldnt spot it but stood out like a sore thumb today, thanks for the placement Martin cousins fulfills challenge 250 Traditionals in Hawkesbury Challenge (GCA5CRG) according to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA5CRG/75555

Did a cache check here following the recent DNF logs and spotted the container where it had been placed. Retrieved it and checked the log. No problem here. Cache on!
Sad face, we had all the toots and whistles for collection but couldn’t locate it.
PAFed and they asked if there was any POT plants on the ground nearby and we couldn’t locate them, so thinking the “weed” or smoko type nursery men may not have taken a liking to our sport of treasure hunting.

With the day spent pressing the last of the grapes from this year's vintage, it was a welcome message received from PPE for a meetup in Lower Portland to grab some of the new challenge caches on offer. Arrived at GZ, PPE made the retrieval and we both signed the cache before replacing as found. Thanks for the challenge cache goingplaces2.
