Visited the Arboretum for some fresh air and to celebrate 9 years since my first find in the addictive game. Stoked to see this trig and scratch the tan bark away to reveal the survey marker cover. Love finding trigs! Found with Mrs MajuraHathi.
Cheers

very strange I could swear this one was not on my map when I last checked, or ever for that matter, yet unfound. not sure why but good that I took a picture of it anyhow.

My last day in Canberra for this trip and since the only thing planned for today was visiting friends plus joining them for lunch and heading home, I decided on getting a few more smileys. For the third time, I headed to starting point of the WIG around the lake to collect ‘The Cyclist’ cache. Starting at 5am meant next to no traffic or heat but it was still hard going but definitely easier than ‘The Manic’ on Friday. This time I had enough time to have a brake at about the ½ mark. No trouble with the cartridge today. Then it was time to head back to where I was staying and pack my bag. I picked up a couple of quick finds on my way to meet up with my friends. After that it was time to head home but with a detour to collect a couple of lone caches around Yass that I hadn’t found yet. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found, for allowing them to bring joy to me and to the rest of the caching community. TFTE and TFTC’s

thanks

Another great day out caching with Joolay after more points in the current game. Thanks to Minniek for the trail up Mt Stromlo and SDL for all his scattered around the area. We continued on and found a few trigs then topped the day off with a stash of movables. All logs were signed and cache returned to their hidey holes. This trig is certainly worth a visit, the views are outstanding.

Out getting caches for the summer game

oh... hadn't noticed there was a trig here... hadn't even noticed the yellow posts actually... lol
was nearby for a GC event, have found all those caches here, so had a look on GA map and noticed this... bit windy up here today (it usually is - lol)
but a nice spot to pop up to in between the GC event and the next place i have to be this afternoon...

Quick find on my last day in Canberra.

Had the day off after an early morning appt. Stopped by here whilst doing a nearby GC multi.

found it

found while in the area

Nice view on a fine Spring afternoon.

Found on a great day of caching to relax after the end of test week at college. After getting the GCA tradional at the very quiet carpark, I walked up the hill for a photo with the very unexpected survey marker. Beautiful all round views from here - love coming to the Aboretum! TFTC GCA!

Rated: for Overall Experience

figured I would clear of some of the GCA caches that have been popping up recently, this was an easy one to mark off.

Popped up to grab this trig. Terrific views up here.

I had time for a bit of afternoon caching so went and found one GC and these four GA's. Nothing got wet but it was a fun after noon.

Thanks

Looks like quiet a few of us visited today
I think I was after the others, as the trig was well exposed.

One of nineteen finds today. TFTC.

We had afternoon tea at the local cafe and then continued up the hill to log this trig and the nearby cache. Always good to see the view from here.

Called in to grab the necessary while in the area today.

Some nice views here this morning.

I called in and got a quick photo of this one on a mission to photograph and film some sculptures.

Took the photo after finding some GC hides. One of the features on top of Dairy Farmers Hill had to represent a previous trig. Thought it might have been an electronic version but apparently it's just the 3 poles in the ground

found after looking for some caches nearby

While on a visit to the National Arboretum we noticed there was a trig on a nearby hill so made a little detour to take the required photo. We enjoyed the art work installed nearby as well as the great views . There was plenty of snow on the highlands and the wind was nippy.

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1195 - 12044 overall cache finds.

Found while heading south taking my daughter to soccer. 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 (especially 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 !

The trig was quickly 'found'. Piccie taken and posted. Great views !

Thanks Geocaching Australia !

It's at the highest point of the highest hill in the area......and was more than likely a trig at some stage, and maybe still is. Certainly similar to others that have been published on GCA...so all good with me.

Great views here and certainly worthy of another visit.......

Found while visiting canberra for Easter. tftc

GrimRaider and I visited the Arboretum chasing photos of balloons this morning. I pulled out my gps to see if there were any nearby caches and spotted this trig. Nice easy find, once I cleared the tanbark. Fantastic views of Canberra and the lake from up here. TFTT

On a caching run today with LuckyL10n. This was one of our ports of call. I haven't yet been up to the higher part of the Arboretum yet as I've been waiting for the family (wife) to appear and go together as yet her visits to Canberra have been very rare. I've walked in one of the tree areas near the entrance way but that has been it so it was good to get up here and see a bit more. Snap attached.

#GA856 - 17:00; After a trip to the movies with the geohoney, collected MrDamage and set off in search of GeGnomes. We had collected a few on the way here and decided to stop off for this one on the way past to our next moveable. Managed to grab a park, just and headed off to GZ where we took the required snaps and were soon on our way after MrD also grabbed the nearby GC cacheTFTC Geocaching Australia

Bit windy up here today but the views are spectacular. Trig or not it is a GCA cache so logging it anyway. My phone is the GPS and camera so pic of me at GZ instead. TFTC

Hmmm - I don't think this is a trig - this is simply a survey mark.

The bear and I found this one back in November, on a very looong walk from home in Rivett, to the arboretum for brunch on a Sunday, then walked all the way back - about 20kms. It is a lovely view from the top across the lake.
