No luck here today. Hopefully just one of those days when I just cant see for looking Circled around a number of trees in the area, some more likely than others. After good search decided to call it. Will come back another time when the CO has had a chance to check on it I think.Thanks RoddyC, see you in CBR soon.
I was out on a chilly morning trying to fill the new shade of green for this d/t rating. convenient how 3 are so close together. Better luck with this one vers the first. I had to wait a little while as some muggles walked past with their dogs, but that gave me time to spot the cache and plan my retrieval. I forgot the hope adapter at the end of my TOTT so i had to adapt with a bit of stick augmentation. Worked perfectly with a it of duct tape. Thanks for the find RoddyC
Failed to spot #1 in this series so headed here. Circled around a few trees, then returned to our first suspect and spotted the container. All in good order with the cache and contents. A quick retrieval, sign, and replace, then back to #1 to have another go (which proved fruitless).Thanks RoddyC.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country on which we geocache throughout Australia and their long lasting, and ongoing connections to land, sea and community. We (the pants people) pay our respects to Traditional Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
Only my second fishing cache ever retrieved. Not too difficult to spot, but a bit of a struggle to return. Got there in the endTFTC!
A fellow cacher lent me their fishing pole while they're away so I'm heading out to find as many tree fishing caches as possible, with the three in this series being first on my list. So I dragged my dad along to show him the concept of tree fishing, and I think he was pretty impressed. Another easy spot from the ground, and straight forward retrieval and replacement. Thank you RoddyC for the cache!
Whos of thought, a RoddyC series of ing in Canberra. Well here is a piece of fun X3 while we are here.Thanks Roddy for the fun as GG1 says.
Muggle65 and l were going to have a day off but we couldn't resist these ones. Parked at #1 and enjoyed a stroll to get all three. Thank you for a fun cache
An early going with Baktrak and PPE on some ladder and puzzle hunting. Some team work and coordination saw us making good progress around before swapping to fishing poles for this leg. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
This DT combination is very tasty so it was well worth the trip down here to grab this set of 3 pole caches.Had to wait for a muggle family to pass by before retrieving the cache. All good here.Thanks RoddyC for the pole placement.
On a MEGA day today with eldest geokid as he clocks up about 9 hours in his Learners Logbook. We had a lot of fun just picking up whatever semi-random caches we felt like before attending the [Geobash](https://coord.info/GL1BRA49R) in time for the Lackey/ Reviewers workshop. We bumped into a few teams out there today including a team from Narrogin WA. A good day but were wrecked!Out with the TOTT for this our second attempt of a Chisholm Green fishing cache; first one being the third... if that makes any sense. Signed right under The_Tritonz on the brand new log. Cache in good condish. TFTC, RoddyC.#1945
Greetings from Tasmania, solved this puzzle for age ago, fi ally make go there for big Mega Event soon.. decide stay here for few weeksNice spot and open the cache (:0) full water inside and log very soaked .. cant reach on write ..CO need maintenance.
Targeted these 3 tree fishing caches primarily for their rare 4/1 DT combination, which is quite rare from where I live (Adelaide), plus it fills some holes in my DT grid, plus I love tree fishing- such a fun challenge. Accurate coords and the cache was hooked, and the log signed. Thanks for this fun series!
After a solid hike with Green_Martian in Rob Roy earlier decided to pick up a few caches on the way home. A quiet neighborhood, perfect for a stroll along the green. Cache signed, TOTT activated, cache retrieved, log signed and replaced as found. TNLNSL TFTC
After having some muggles interrupt me at #3, I was happy to move my car and have the place to myself for #1 & #2 in this series! (or at least I think!)
Once again the large containers were very well placed in the trees, and were both found and retrieved + replaced with no issues at all. Very well set up!
Thanks for this series of caches! Appreciate the effort

We decided to walk along this lovely green belt around Chisholm.
We had parked the car somewhere in the middle of the three hides along the way here, and at GZ had the place to ourselves, so it was a quick find.
Thanks RoddyC

Found after walking up Mt Tuggeranong this morning, I was keen for some tree fishing before heading home for lunch. Quick find at GZ and retrieval, very nicely sized micro and retrieval mechanism. Nice and peaceful green space today. TFTC RoddyC!
Decided to tackle these three fishing caches since I had my pole on me. Interesting that they were all small caches, not very common in the world of tree fishing. I like it this way though, it's easier to spot them.
They were all pretty close to the ground and retrieved and replaced in under 5 minutes! TFTC RoddyC for this enjoyable mini series!

It is good to have some fishing caches that are not micros - I can see these ones. Fortunately no one about to watch the strange antics. All easily got putting them back however as found was a challenge. I need to modify my TOTT. TFTC.
Nice quick find here. Easy to retrieve and return. Cache and log was very damp! Could use a better container... Thanks for the cache RoddyC!
Easier to retrieve, but harder to return. Log slightly damp, but perfectly usable. Thanks
TFTC - it was more difficult than expected. We had to come back with a bigger tool.
Cache is in good condition and log signed

Found today on a lovely sunny but very cold day. Signed dsd or darksidedan or AB or Adventure Boys to save space in the logbook. Thanks for the cache and the Adventure.
A spot of caching with fitzy_1965 whilst I had the opportunity today.
All the caches we tried were found quickly and easily.

31,868. Found with minniek during a short caching trip to South Canberra.
With some time up our sleeves today, minniek and I decided to grab some caches in order to keep meeting one of our self-imposed calendar challenges. There was a nice cluster down this way, so they were our target for the day. The south part of Canberra always seems to keep producing caches regularly, which is great for us on days like these ! These three fishing caches were fun to do, as we had chatted to the CO about them during the Rutherglen Mega. All three were spotted, recovered, stamped and returned without issue.
Thanks RoddyC !!

An awesome day to be out caching with friends; Fox in Jox, AngelG27, SpecimenX and Search 4. After a walk in the Bullen range, we dropped by these fishing caches. Cache soon located, retrieved, signed and replaced. TFTC.

A glorious day was perfect for a day out geocaching! 
Teamed up with AngelG27 along with the geochaps comprising of Search4, TikvaNZ and Fox in Jox (signed as FASTS). Great fun with this lot! The focus of the day was to nab the recently published caches in Bullen Range and a few others along the way.
We decided to swing by these 3 tree fishing caches in this pocket of green space to make the finds. All 3 were spotted, fished out, signed and replaced easy! Fun little series!
Thanks for the hide, RoddyC

Managed to search for and find the cache prior to publication. Don't often get myself to Chisholm, so nice to get the opportunity. TFTC RoddyC
Quick retrieve and return in a lovely peaceful location. TFTC RoddyC.
**FTF Opportunities - my 10 cents worth**
If FTFs are to be 'awarded' or 'won' prior to cache publication then it would be reasonable to have, in the first line of the cache description, a comment stating that this is the intention.
It should also include the Event location at which it will have occurred (or had intended to occur at) so that the reviewer is aware prior to publication. An open and transparent process is all we ask for, to avoid disappointment for all of us 'big kids' out there.
Also, important for those coming from reasonably far distances on a FTF-hunt, and who are filled with the anticipation and the joy of meeting up with others with the same sense of adventure and fun. Many thanks in anticipation.

No issues with locating, retrieving, signing and replacing this cache - thanks, RoddyC.
A quick commentary, if I may: living in the beating heart of the ACT that is southern Canberra I had given some consideration to attempting this series of caches just after publication yesterday, these being reasonably proximate to me. I'm glad I didn't, because I would have been disappointed to read the newly retrieved log and discover that FTF was actually awarded by a sort of VIP early access pass system a week earlier.
The local GC Facebook chat suggests this is a common practice with the CO's caches in Qld. I'm glad it's not common here - these caches aside, of course - because it sort of ruins the excitement and sense of community we can experience on an FTF hunt. Oh well. Horses for courses, I suppose - just not for me.

Cache 10160 on 14 Apr 2023.
After attending an event the CO hosted, my name was luckily pulled out of a hat for **FTF** on an unpublished cache by the CO. As Fox’s name was pulled out first but he had left by then, I decided to share FTF honours with him! We headed to GZ one afternoon and popped our name in the log, happy to share with whomever would find it after publication. Congrats Flintstones on being fast off the mark on the wrong side of town for you!
Thanks RoddyC for the cache and the fun!
