Logs
What an amazing way to start my holidays from work. Geo-events, traveling, meeting up with friends and finding many different caches made it fun! 
It’s so nice to finally be able to do all these things… again. The following descriptions are my adventures between the days of 12/11/21 and 16/11/21. Each cache has been logged to the end of my adventures for the day of finding them. If you would like to read my full log, please find it on any cache I found on the 16/11/21.
Day #1: I finished work at 4pm and headed over to Wagga for the only GIFF event in NSW. Apart from the CO, I was the first to arrive at the event. It was great to finally attend a Geocaching after many months without them. All talk Geo was had by all until we were told that dinner was ready. Soon after, the popcorn was ready and the movies were on. Congratulations to all the GIFF finalists and they were all a great watch. Also, Congratulations to BMG for receiving the FTF on the event. Then it was time to head home and get ready to head to Canberra for the next few days.
Day #2: I was nearly late to my own event. O’well… It was still fun with the small group of us that turned up. We also discovered many Moveable caches before heading off to today’s main goal. This happened to be finding the ‘A’ part of the GA geo-art series as well as the lone GC caches around the area which I hadn’t found as I pasted by them. I wasn’t alone as AKM came for the walk as well. After finding all but the last two we headed our separate ways as it started raining heavier. Hopefully, it won’t be raining tomorrow so the event goes ahead but well will need to see. Also pizza for dinner tonight.
Day #3: Today’s adventures included the CCE down in Booroomba and as many of the nearby caches as possible. I didn’t do the walk to the ‘Booroomba Rocks’ but I am still able to log the event. I then headed off with a large group of others to find the nearby caches. After that, I caught a lift with Kittykatch, Joolay, isopeda and Barb2e and we headed down to the ACT boarder finding the caches along the way many caches were found and a new GCA cache placed (Gudgenby – GA25097). It was great to see some ammo cans out in the wild, even if they were slightly damaged by the fires. As we arrived back in Tharwa we had afternoon tea and headed our separate ways. Another great day and so much more to go.
Day #4: Not many finds today, but definitely quality finds including a 2003 cache. They are becoming few and far between and it was great to see this one still alive. Many unique locations that I would never have visited if it wasn’t for geocaching. Most caches I found were somewhere along the drive/walk around Mount Stromlo. I also wandered around the Belconnen Mall to do some Christmas shopping. Another great day but my trip away is coming to an end… as tomorrow is my last day. 
TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO's of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring me and the rest of the caching community enjoyment.

A bit of exploring around Mt stromlo this morning. Great fun and interesting area.

A cool little place. when I first saw it, I figured it had to have something to do with caching

Well today is day 365 in a row. What better way to celebrate than with a trig find!
Rated: for Overall Experience
Decided it was time I actually logged these things, seeing I was most of the way up here
After taking my photo, the big spheres on the building behind the CORS came to life. They were like two giant robot eyes as they rolled around. It was all very intriguing.

Caching in the area we stopped and snapped the required pic. Too easy - 3 trigs in the one spot.

After taking a photo at the nearby trig beacon we moved over to the first of the CORS in the area.
A whole mass of towers, buildings & trigs to choose from.

Wasn't thinking about CORSs today, but just happened to take a photo - so I was there.
Thanks

Three easy points to log, very close to each other. Found with Decrypter.

Second of the trio of trig points up here today. Another nice quick one at 12:25 with some pretty good views all around.
Thanks Geocaching Australia.

Found the CORs about 5:25pm. Easy to spot as you approach the area. I have been here in the past with LuckyL10n but at the time I didn't really know how GCA worked nor was I into it much, so never got any details or photos. Now I'm up here to log them now knowing more about this stuff. It's a bit cold up here but views as usual are really good. I had actually tried the night before but the boom gates were down. Rating for the views.

After parking it took quite some time to get here even though we parked about 30m away. The geodaughter had to tap every rock and play with every flower on the way. Even the roo poo wasn't safe. At least she enjoyed herself. A nice low CORS so didn't have to try find the right angle to take a picture from.
Found with Joolay on a walk with the Canberra Bushwalk Club. We raced up here before the walk to grab the photos and then returned below the boom gates to start the walk. We then walked up past here again. Never mind - a great evening to take a walk.

#GA181 - 16:15; I headed out on a wet weather mission this afternoon with MrDamage. We decided Mt Stromlo looked promising and it turned out that way. We had picked up an angelic choir to move along, then a couple of GC caches, then it was up to the summit for a trig and a couple of CORS! A productive run, even though it was wet and umbrellas were the order of the afternoon. TFTC Geocaching Australia

Great views from here as always. Just starting to rain a bit!

Was up here today and grabbed this trig. Unfortunately, my phone no longer can upload photos but I will get one with my digital camera next time I am here. I was coming from Balderdash and going to Walking on the Moon when I grabbed this one. Great views!

Found whilst looking for a GC-listed cache nearby. Not sure why this and its friend are so near each other, but I suppose there's a good scientific reason.
Found on a hot morning. Another trig claimed with a nice view. Great area, always enjoy coming here. TFTC Geocaching Australia!

As I was on a bit of a GA cleanup day, I added these trigs to my list. I was a bit unsure why two of the bits of equipment on poles are 'trigs' and some of the others that look similar are not. Oh well. picture taken, trig captured.

Nice sunny public holiday so went for a drive to grab this nearby new trig. Bit boring compared to the traditional one nearby, but still gave me an excuse to come up here again for the view.
A quick grab on the way home. There was a steady stream of traffic on the Mount today so I felt sure that someone would have grabbed this today.
An interesting location tied in with EOS I would assume.
