Thank you for hosting this geocaching Event! The date of the Event has passed. We automatically archive Events after 30 days (60 days for Mega- and Giga-Events). Attendees can still log archived Events, log trackables, and share their experiences.

After getting up a stupid o'clock to attend an Event then off to Maccas with a group of fellow cachers there were more suburban caches to find.I need CITOs in others States as I hadn't been out of Queensland before, just a quick trip to retrieve my son when his car broke down. There wasn't much rubbish but ever bit helps. TFTCITO

Here for the geobash. Caches signed as GJX. Our three gcoven JACSTeam and xrocketx. Today was seek all ye can find day! Fab mix of cache types with some valuable oldies and lots of sightseeing! Last cache before the airport and back to Brissy. Great turnout with a cute banana or two! Thanks for hosting

Attended with fitzy_1965 before we headed home after a great weekend at the Mega.Managed to find a bit of rubbish around the place. Many hands sure make light work.

Visiting Canberra from Qld to attend Geobash 2024, it was a very early start today with an event and then all day geocaching, we have made our way to this CITO to see many people already picking up rubbish.We ventured closer to the Basketball courts and found some around there. Happy to help clean up the area.Even some banana benders attended!!Thanks pantspeople for hosting this event.

A well attended CITO in a fairly litter free area. We spent our time picking up small pieces of rubbish that looked like it had been through a shredded. Great to catch up with a few friends.Thanks pantspeople for organising this event. Love your outfit:)

Last event for the Geo bash and what a great turnout. Lots of rubbish to pick up too. Saying goodbye to old friends and new.Great event thanks for organising pantspeople

Thanks for the opportunity to attend a CITO whilst here for the GeoBash, not thar there was a lot of rubbish to collect, but did manage to collect a couple of tradionals nearby.Special thanks to Dan for the highest min tin in the area, a huge bonus for the attendees.

#19511 - 6:00:00 PM; Last day of the Easter Geobash weekend. The day started with a group activity watching social Climber do what he does so well. Climb! Next it was off to revisit an old nemesis cache with Sol de lune and feathertop in Watson, followed by an attempt to avenge a recent DNF. Once that was achieved, Sdl and I headed southside for a few more finds before we went our separate ways after a successful caching long weekend. I wasn't originally planning to attend this CITO, but happy I was able to at the last minute. Met up with Tassie Trekkers in the carpark and collected our contributions to the group effort as we gradually made our way across to the posted coords to sign the log. TFTC pantspeople

34,673. Attended with minniek and a whole bunch of Mega Cachers.Our last event/find for the Mega. What a wonderful time it has been. Great to see such a large turn out to help clean up the area. We spent nearly an hour collecting rubbish and socialising, until it was time to head home. Well done to pantspeople for starting and continuing this series of CITOs for the benefit of Canberra and people's stats See you at the next one.

Geobash Easter Mega - Day #5 (Easter Monday 1/4)For day five of my trip, I decided on power trailing my way to and from my third and final (pre-booked) tour at the Deep Space Tracking Station. This makes my four tours total. The power was a mixture of two joined into one. The two main PTs were, Beautiful View PT and the Drive Trip PT. There were also a couple of others along the way which needed to be added to the mix to break it up a little. It was great fun but very hard going as not all of them were at GZ given on the cache page or were in prickly bushes. Many battle scars were earned but it certainly was fun though. Once at the Deep Space Tracking Station it was a great tour. I learnt lots and got to the radio telescopes up close. I also got to find the caches around the area before heading off. After leaving, I power tailed my way back via the other way to get back to Canberra and then had a very late lunch. After that, I headed off to the CITO to finish the day off. TB visit. If the cache wasnt signed as JohnoMawbs, it was signed as JM or as the tour group name. A big thanks to the CO for adding this cache to game for the Geocaching community to enjoy. TFTEs & TFTCs What a great way to end the day. A nice easy going clean up for this sporting ground and great chats with everyone. Thanks for hosting. Now to go and get some dinner.

CITOs are my favourite type of events. Always nice to clean up an area of rubbish. I arrived late (and left early) but did make a contribution. Thank you pantspeople, for holding the Capital Geobash CITO event for the geocaching community.# # #14567 # #

After spending most of today signing a large selection of the UGC Challenges with Wollaston and HansandLinda, we eventually headed here to do our bit to Keep Australia Beautiful. Having traveled in a number of European countries where rubbish bins must be rare beasts, I'm quite keen on keeping our country looking good.Thanks for find #6050TNLN

Thank you for organising this CITO. I managed to find the motherload of chips packets near the basketball courts. My banana item (Banana Travelbug, no less) could not compete with some of the other iterations. *Attended with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Attended this event whilst here in Canberra for the Geobash.

We arrived on time to find the event in full swing already. Gotta love socially responsible cachers! We found a decent amount of small rubbish to contribute to the clean up, including a couple of golf balls (???). Thanks for organising this Cito. It was the perfect way to end the mega week

Attended as part of the Easter 2024 Mega.

A final event attended with MrsRoosta while at the ACT Mega.Another good sized crowd and a fair amount collected. Thanks for the event pantspeople,***Roostaman***

Attended as part of the GeoBash mega event. There were so many people, it was hard to find a car park, so I had to park right across the field where someone was doing some drumming So many people meant lots of rubbish collected!

Attended for Geobash CITO. Thanks, pantspeople for organised this CITO

Attended Capital Geobash CITO during the Capital GeoBash mega event in Canberra over the Easter weekend. Thanks for organising the event pantspeople!

Well it is Canberra Geobash Mega time and Im spending 6 nights up here on the Mega site and also the ACT has put on some brilliant weather for us so far during the day.Well it is day 4 for me and after a very fresh and chilly start to the morning for an event this CITO was at a more reasonable time of the day.So after plenty of caching through out the day I arrived at the playing fields and there was soon a very large gathering of cachers willing to do their bit to help clean up this area.A reasonable amount of rubbish was picked up and I think it is now time for tea and maybe an early night.Thanks pantspeople TFTCC.

I attended this CITO while in Canberra over Easter for the Capital Geobash. I picked up some rubbish, found a couple of caches, chatted to some folk and saw a man wearing a banana skin - well at least I think that's what it was. Thanks pantspeople for organising the CITO.

Canberra Geobash Mega Easter weekend Day 5. After a fun start to the day with a tree cache, there was the final clean up at the Canberra Park Mega side to be done, before having a chance for a rest in the afternoon before heading out to join in the CITO at Harrison. A huge turnout and lots of rubbish collected, and even a banana or two spotted. I foresee a but of recovery time over the next week, but I can't wait for the next group caching opportunities in the future. Thanks for the cache pantspeople46219.2 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2008 Northern Territory GC A#113**Albida**

Attended with gwd.aussie while up for the Canberra GeoBash.Thanks, pantspeople for organised this CITO

Attended with hevwalker. On our way back from getting a cache we found someone who had a bag and worked together to find as much rubbish as we could. The area was definitely cleaner by the time we had all finished collecting. Caught up with cachers we had not even known had been at the Mega for about the same time as we had. Joined some friends for a meal at Wok it up, fantastic food. TFTCITO

Arrived with gloves in hand ready to clean up this place, and maybe a cache or two tooOut caching with D@geoThank you the planning and holding this event pantspeople.

The final hurrah of the Capital Geobash! Huge kudos to pantspeople for stepping up and hosting this CITO, amazing turnout with 100+ attendees, and many interstate travellers who probably would of been quite disappointed if it was their first visit & missed this icon, so a great idea and initiative! The location was well chosen, not too far from the mega site but plenty of parking for attendees and rubbish to pick up! I turned up a little bit late, as I actually had to work today and went home first to change clothes. Still managed to find a couple things to pick-up in the carpark of all places...! Oh and I even snagged a park in the main carpark as another attendee was nicking off early! Chatted to a few other attendees and marvelled at the funny banana themed costumes in attendance (nice to see your usual theme make an appearance), before I headed off to bed as I was completely exhausted! TFTE PP

We were more than happy to come and lend a hand. There was quite a bit of rubbish collected and lots of people to do the job. Thanks for organising.

I didn't think that this group would find as much rubbish as they did. Surprising how much there was. Thank you for organising this and getting so many of us together to help clean up.

The last event for the 2024 Geobash Mega event. Its been a busy week with friends visiting for this event plus lots of driving to see family. Ensured we attended this event as KBKL and SixPak69 had only attended 1 CITO in their caching careers. Arrived to a busy and chatty group of people. We grabbed our plastic bags and headed off to fill them. Met up with the FurfacesLL ladies also and we all returned with some interesting items (a cricket ball, a soccor ball, 2 golf balls, a tennis ball, a fleecy jumper pulled from the pond, and umbrella and some snow gloves). Thanks for hosting the CITO pantspeople, was surprised at how much rubbish was obtained in this clean up.

We arrived to find lots of attendees already in full swing. We wondered which was correct - 5pm from the communications, or 5:30 as per cache page.Anyhoo, we managed to fill a bag before joining the rest of the crew for a quick chat.Thanks for organising and hosting this event, pantspeople ??

Great end to the OzMega. Keeping Australia beautiful. Cheers

Another event attended while at the Mega. Another good sized crowd and lots of rubbish found.Thanks for the event pantspeople,***MrsRoosta***

Wow what a popular CITO!We arrived and rolled up our sleeves to pick up tiny little pieces of trash around the car park.thanks for organising this final gathering

Theres nothing better than attending a CITO to complete a Mega event. Its a good way to let the general public that geocachers care for the environment and contribute to the community. Thanks for running this event today.

Attended this event with my dad Marcus Vitruvius. Had lots of fun and the Easter Egg hunt was the best. Did lots of climbing in trees over the weekend. Thankyou.

What a way to finish a truly Mega Weekend!! Great to be able to say goodbye to everyone as we gave a little love to our wonderful gameboard. Thanks for pulling us all together. Thanks for the event.

Had a great time over the weekend TFTC

We got here earlier than expected and the cleanup was already in full swing. We did what we could and then headed off. Thanks for hosting the event!

Always enjoy a CITO, we arrived a little early as we had to drop Gcoven off at the airport for her flight home shortly after the time this would finish. Even arriving early there were a number of cachers already out and about with their bags and a small pile of collected rubbish at the bins. We managed to make a small cleaning contribution to the area, despite it looking clean. Signed the log book and after a couple of quick catche up chats it was time for us to go. Did some off the cuff CITOing over the following few days as I continued to cache around Canberra. I admire your commitment to cleaning up the region with the regular CITOs.

scramping & I are visiting Canberra to attend the Capital Geobash Mega event. This was a CITO, so yep, I picked up rubbish and placed it into someone else's bag.It is good to give back to the environment and clean up the game board that we use for our addictive hobby.Thanks pantspeople for hosting the CITO

That was fun. Place is pretty shiny now. Found on the Mega Capital Geobash coastal loop via Adelaide - Barrington - coast to Mexico City loop. A lot of caches and white line fever was sweated out. Thanks pantspeople and clear skies from TeamAstro. ?? Cache the planet! ??

Day #7 Geobashing We were off to the Deep Space Tour today as well the CITO so targeted specific Canberra caches along the way with OzHockeyChick, kristysadventures, papi4506 and GeoTurtle37. Signed as GPORK.The day was almost over but not before the CITO for the event. Lots of people and lots of rubbish collected. Great job!A big thanks goes to pantspeople for taking the time to add Capital Geobash CITO to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Looking for caches to find when visiting Victoria?

There are plenty to choose from including all of the previous nominees and winners of the Victorian Cache of the Year Awards.

18:07April Fools/Easter Monday...This was the main reason for staying in Canberra beyond last night. I'm always up for a chance to pay it forward, and the opportunity to participate in my first interstate CITO was too compelling.While the area immediately around the site had already been picked clean, there was still more rubbish to collect on the perimeter.Thanks, pantspeople, and everyone that helped clean up. We amassed a good pile and had fun making this place that much better.#8701

Nice to add a CITO, even though the place was pretty clean already

Day 7 of our Capital Geobash mega-holiday. And for the first day since we arrived, there were no events or tours to rush off to, so we had a leisurely day to ourselves. We chose to return to the Parliamentary Precinct to complete caches and labs that we didn't have time to do earlier in the week, taking advantage of the easier access and parking due to the Easter Monday public holiday. Afterwards we made a quick visit to the Arboretum to show Chunk the highlights that Chook had discovered when she was in Canberra last year, before it was time to head off to this CITO.When we arrived, there was not a lot of rubbish in the nearby vicinity, but it didn't take long to locate the motherload along the edge of the grounds. We easily filled a bag chocker block full, found a couple of caches in our travels and returned to say a quick hello to others before heading off to tea. Thank you for hosting this CITO pantspeople.

One last event for mega week! Nice to see everyone one last time before the (relatively short) drive back to Sydney.Thanks pantspeople for the event!
