Out for a bit of fresh air with GLISS! This was an easy park, walk, photo. Beautiful Autumn weather today.
Collecting a couple of trigs today for a research task with nibletricecakes. This was an easy drive by but the weather was gorgeoys so we did park a bit further away and enjoyed the walk.

Found this little fellow while out caching with Joolay hunting for points for the current game. TFTC
It's not often that I come into Woden so this was a quick stop along the way....just enough light to grab a quick photo to claim this trig.
After spending the day with family wanderring around the war memorial, parliament house & Questacon we were on our way home so pulled over for a quick photo here. Saturday afternoon makes it really easy to take a photo at a school without having to worry about children or other muggles. Took the photo as required. Thanks for the trig

Visited just as the rain hit on a Sunday afternoon. My selfie was spoiled by raindrops on the lens but I got this close up of the CORS.

Finished off a couple of Trigs and caches in the Woden area. Easily found.
This afternoon we located the Pearce CORS. The required photo has been added to the Gallery. Thanks Geocaching Australia for the cache.
Headed south after work tonight in search of a couple of trigs. This was the first. Quick and easy find.

870. Had some time to kill so looked around for a cache that would be quick and this suited the requirement. Nobody around his morning so an easy find and snap.

Found this with geoson Skypirate at 9:07pm. Grabbed a couple of photos. I was out finding my daily GC cache and wanted to find a GCA type one. I'd earmarked this one last Wednesday but ended up elsewhere due to circumstances. So went past today. I still have to learn more about what these are.

Well that was much easier than expected. I was ready to look but not expect to photograph it tonight assuming it would be on top of a building or something. But it wasn't it was relatively low and well lit.
I picked up another easy trig today after dropping my daughter at work. I am hoping to have bagged 100 trigs by the end of 2015...

After a few post work caches, there was time to check out two newish CORS. This was first. I wonder if this is a school project or if they were selected as a site ? Thanks

Found on a short morning caching bash around the area. On the way home, we quickly dropped by Melrose High School to take this photo. There were a few people here today, but we quickly left, so it was an easy find. TFTC GCA!

Found at the exact spot where I always drop my daughter off at school!

#GA191 - 13:05; Out and about with the geohoney and after checking out the BMW X1 at a local dealership, persuaded her to come along with me to find this new CORS. Too late for a first, but another welcome *2TF* at least. These things are starting to appear in some interesting places. TFTC Geocaching Australia

Noticed this one on the GPSr on the way home, so called in for a quick pic. An interesting spot for one of these.
