A trig in the urban area to clean out. the last time I was here must have beeen june 2019.
A great morning of caching in Canberra, before heading out to Bungendore to finish of a powertrail. Even managed to squeeze in a parkrun at Mt Ainslie as well. Started a little fresh, but soon turned into a perfect caching day. All caches were found quick and easy, thanks to all cache owners for putting them out there!

We were not sure that we hade the right object when we took the photo, but later realised we were right.
I was experiencing some withdrawal symptoms this afternoon and what better way to avoid housework and Christmas shopping than getting out for a walk and grabbing some caches. This was one of a few found though it took a while to find the right angle to photograph this one.

Found with thomo31 on our Canberra holiday. Just had lunch and decided to see if we could locate this. Photo was taken and now the log. TFTT
Just had lunch with teamashy and geoniece nearby and saw this on the map. Being Saturday afternoon there was not much traffic so pulled up close by and spotted it. Photo taken, we were off for some sightseeing.
Killing some time in Canberra today in between some appointments. This little fella seemed close.
After dropping one of kids at training, fitzy and I headed out for an earth cache and a trig. This CORS was the closest to our location. Quick park and snap.

Dropped past here tonight at 18:55 while on the way to dinner just around the corner. It turned out that the shot from behind the building gave a clearer view, albeit from further away.
Thanks Geocaching Australia.

Never done a CORS before. Had to look at the gallery to see what I should be taking a photo of so here it is! Thanks 
Came to find the nearby GC cache (found it) but as it was already dark so no photo-by-phone was going to successfully show much. But I was able to discuss the CORS with the geokids so that's gotta count.

857. I'm around this area a lot with work lately but kept forgetting about this cache. Working my around today simply going to the next nearest cache brought me here and the photo taken.

We were not quite sure what this one was about, so we stalked it from afar and after PAF found what we were looking for.

I bagged this cache today finally! The closest trig to home and it has taken me a long time to grab. I am trying for 100 trigs this year, so time to get serious... haha TFTT

#GA193 - 15:50; Picked this one up on the way home after refuelling the geomobile and a bit of car hunting and caching further to the south. The second CORS for the day. Luckily I approached from the right angle and was able to spot the little blighter way up there, but had left the iPhone in the geomobile and had to go and retrieve it for the happy snap!

Photographed while in area on the way home from the Oz Mega and in town for ANZAC Day.
Logged after renewing rego nearby, but cloud and weather conditions make it hard to actually see the CORS in this photo, but it was there!

Grabbed a selfie while across the road renewing some rego.

Found on a quick morning run around our own area, plus the city area. Found while getting the nearby GC cache. Hopefully the photo is ok, the sun was shinning right on the camera, but it still shows where it should be. TFTC GCA!

A new type of trig....Not sure what the point is though, but yes, I still went and found it.

Things were a bit busy in Dickson on a Friday afternoon, but this trig is well out of the way and I was able to get my photo.

Over Dickson way so popped by to grab this. Prefer traditional trigs you can touch but guess this is what all future trigs will be like.
I was passing nearby so thought Id stop for a smiley. Gee its a bit subtle. At first I thought it might be one of the things on poles, but they turned out to be owls (see pic)!

Came today with Cleared For Takeoff and as we approached TZ, we spotted a Black Bunny mobile with a GC stickers on it. We are very gratefull to BB who pointed out the find, don't think we would have found it otherwise! Also chatted to Bronnie in a mini-flash mob at 08:15 this morning. Thankyou Geocaching Australia for showing us the CORS.

A new trig in town so decided to swing past on the way to work. Took a little while to work out where the best spot to grab the shot was (over by the Lane A sign). After snapping the photo spotted Bronnie looking a little lost so pointed out the best place and on the way back to the car ran into MajuraHathi and co turned up a minute or two later.
A nice little mini gathering here today.

I work around the corner, and am very curious to know wtf a cors is.
Even looking at street view, this could be intresting.
Will have a look before work tomorrow. Doubt i'll be able to see it
