I do love the Games that Geocaching Australia manages to think up. They certainly inspire me to get out and be more involved. Today I decided to come out to Mulligan's Flat and see how many of the Puzzle caches that are out here I could find. Along the way I frightened kangaroos (and they me), I collected numerous spider webs (sorry spiders plenty of repairs for you to do) and even collected some caches. While i was here I could hardly ignore this trig. I actually thought about the next one too but ran out of time this morning. TFTT Geocaching Australia

I had been caching in Mulligans, with Joolay and Albida, for the afternoon. I then went back in by myself for a couple more (2 they had found, and the only 2 in that little area that I niw hadn't) then as I was leaving, I saw that the sign said "no through road" and "no vehicle access to Canberra Centenary Trail" but it didn't say I wasn't allowed to drive along the road... so... I decided to "smile for the camera" and see what was here, and if I actually could get to any of these trigs
I got to this one ok - almost a park and grab - lol

Found on a trip to ACT with alnic39, teamMerlin and Splitty Miller JJCC. Al brought along his mountain bike which came in handy a few times but mainly for the return journey as he road down to get the car while we only had to walk to the nearest exut point to NSW side of the trail. Thanks for the trig a lot stranger to a NSW trig. Picture attached as required

1st of 5 of a trig run along the Northern border. Parked close by and hopped through a hole in the fence. Then started a long walk to the others...
Was able to drive to within 10m then over the fence for a quick find and a photo. Haven't seen a trig like this before.

Found on a very enjoyable weekend because of no more homework! We drove up the road to this one, before we turned around and headed back towards town. We'll get the other trigs another day! TFTC GCA!

I found this one right next to another cache, but I'll have to come back to finish that one.

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1131 - 11297 overall cache finds.
Found during a run up here along the CCT today with Sol de Lune and LuckyL10n. While I mainly looked for GC caches, when an easy GCA cache comes along we go for that as well. Trigs are particularly nice to track down and find. I was very happy when they became part of the GCA cache family. Its especially satisfying if you have made a big climb up for one ! I have also now joined dragonZone in Clan Cerberus, so there are more reasons to find those GCA caches. Its interesting to find the many different types of trigs. From the traditional metal legs and vanes, to the concrete base with vanes, to the ones on top of water tanks (especialy the red ones !), as well the new CORS type. When you look on a GCA map and see all those hundreds and hundreds of blue 'Z's it shows just how many there are out there. Shame so many are on private property and cannot be accessed at all. So as far as I'm concerned every trig that can be found and photographed is a real bonus !
Today was a big day for us. We had planned on having a big numbers today (29 Feb) for nearly 2 years in order to smash our stats for the date. When the CCT trails started to appear around Canberra we new that this was the answer to what we wanted to do. So a plan was hatched and we rode along both this northern half and thern through the Goo for well over 100 GC cacahes for the day - Woo Hoo !
The trig was quickly 'found'. Piccie taken and posted.
Thanks Geocaching Australia !

Found with a large group while picking up the new CCT cache series. We had a great day and it was nice to pick up these trigs too. TFTT

#GA716 - 18:35; I was out on a stroll along the Centenary Trail and happened a cross a couple of recently published trigs along the way. This was the last of five along the eastern end of the track I did today. TFTC Geocaching Australia
