Found it - lid has broken, found contents spilt over area. Have put back together best I can, but definitely needs replacing ASAP
Found it - the lid is broken though. Found the items that had fallen out and put it back together, but will probably come apart again.
Merging my accounts. Found this as "Ambers007" on 24/08/2022. Now tracking together with "Hoterini" and merging the old finds.
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! Lovely stroll to the hide where ticket found the cache not do hidden! Returned to its correct spot tftc
I found this one fast as it wasn't really where it was supposed to be, according to the hint. Instead, it was swinging in the breeze. The bird hide could certainly do with a clean-outit was infested with cobwebs!!
Found with gmj3191 on a bike ride during the mega. This is a lovely spot and very tranquil today. Fav from me.
Find # 8,787 for me on 1 Apr 2024 at 4:03pm. Our last day in Canberra has arrived so we're looking for the special caches we've heard about, and anything else we come across in our travels. We decided to ride our bikes around this section of the lake. This one was found nicely sitting in position. Great container, great location, so gets a fav. Thanks Tankengine, for giving back to the game. *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Signapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. We had about three weeks in New Zealand which went by too quickly. The remaining five weeks are spent in Australia. Yesterday we drove from the Blue Mountains to Canberra where we wil be staying for three nights. We are here to participate in the Aussie Peace Walk. Today is the first day of this IML walk. We are lucky the weather is lovely. A clear blue sky and an exuberantly shining sun, but not too hot. Since the schedule it a bit thight for us there is not much time for geocaching but here we had a stop for lunch so we cant restist having a look for the cache as well. Fortunately we manage to find it quickly without any problem. Great spot for a cache. Thank you very much for this cache.
During our two-month trip through New Zealand and Australia we arrived in Canberra to attend the Canberra Walking Festival. Today is the first day of walking.This cache was found during the first day of walking.**Tankengine**, thanks for the cache.
After a hard and scary encounter with a snake, I found in the end. TFTC
Nice little find on a beautiful day. Out walking through the wetlands. Tftc!
I found a container with a logbook which I signed. It was at the back of the hide so I hid it in accordance with the hint - back left on the approach. I am not sure if this was a throw down?Thanks for bringing us here - good to see the bird life in the wetland
Nice hide in good order. Was out in the open so put 'behind' but still fairly visible. TFTC and Kia Ora from Kiwiland 
Was great walk. Wind was bit chilling on the walk. Tranquility all around the park . Was great hike.
Today was rather stressful for me, and I was feeling rather exhausted by the end of it. Time for a nice stroll in the wetlands to try and unwind a little bit.
There were lots of cyclists zipping up and down the path even in the cold after dark which made wandering around slightly perilous, but once I was close to GZ I was all alone. I managed to find the cache in around about where I expected to spot it, not that many places to hide it around here. One of the clips was undone, but it is starting to get a little bit worn.
On the way back out I crossed paths with a few kangaroos and one in particular that gave me a bit of a fright as he started bounding away before I even noticed him!

Needed two caches today to beat my previous monthly PB for geocaches found. This doesn't sound like too much of a challenge, but as I tweaked my back at the gym this morning and it was pouring rain, it was a little more difficult than I had anticipated!
Cache was found in the likely spot - although the physical manouvres required were not fully enjoyed given my sore back! As others have mentioned, a log has reappeared in this container, and it still does not fully lock close - but is keeping dry nevertheless.
TFTC!!! Woohoo, 171 caches for April

Came to revisit this cache when I realised I was nearby. I hadn’t recalled going geocaching here but as soon as I got close to the location memories came back to me so I found it pretty quickly. The container is pretty battered - doesn’t close properly any more. I didn’t have a pen or pencil and there wasn’t one there, so couldn’t sign the log.
Found eventually, and on a cooler day otherwise I wouldn't have ventured into snake habitat. Such a lovely spot, could sit here for ages listening to the birds.
On a geohunt with a friend. Guessed it was in that location but went to hunt in some trees first anyway. Tftc
Great spot watch out for spider webs was open when found and missing logbook pls do maintanence tftc
Found it after a long search.... my gps lead to a slightly different location so had to work it out from there.
Easy to find, "two leg drive" is a good hint. Needs some love so might come back with a pen to leave with a log book.
Found with 2 leg drive, they had already found this cache although did not give us any hints. Didn’t take us long! TFTC
Found but log book missing
Great spot this! I could spend hours here watching the wildlife

One of three I grabbed with Baristayan this morning while strolling through the wetlands and this was my fav. Didn’t even know this little hut was here.
And apparently August is a good month for spotting platypuses so might just have to return

Didn't find it with a quick sorte - had to get going on the bikes as by 4 pm it was getting a bit cold in the stiff breeze
#1699 A nice quick find in an area I didn’t know existed. No doubt hours could be spent here at the right time of year. Thanks Tankengine for highlighting another interesting area!
Grass is getting long so made for a weary retrieval for the kids, esspcially only just passing a large brown . TFTC
Found! Thankfully there was a pencil to sign log book. Great little find!
Thanks for the cache! Nice and peaceful afternoon, lovely views of the water.
