CRANLEIGH HOMESTEAD SITE

This was the site of Cranleigh homestead completed in 1923 for
Lieutenant General James Gordon Legge.
General Legge was Commandant of Royal Military College (RMC) Duntroon between 1920–22.

 
Lieutenant General James Gordon Legge
CB, CMG, MA, LLB
15 August 1863 - 18 September 1947		  

In 1922 defence cuts saw the government attempt to close Royal Military College (RMC) Duntroon. General Legge, who was commandant of RMC at the time, successfully fought the closure. In 1922 he was retrenched and entered early retirement but was denied a pension. He was able to obtain land from the Soldier Settlement Scheme and took up the lease on the farm calling it Cranleigh.

Cranleigh homestead was designed with an Arabic or Indian influence with a flat roof, a central court yard and all the windows facing inwards.

He raised pigs and horses, and grew potatoes. Many of the local farmers thought him eccentric, as the area was best known as sheep country.
The homestead was demolished in the 1950s and the foundations removed 1986.

  
This plaque and corner foundation remain.

War Service wikipedia.org

General Legge saw service in WWI as Commander of the Australian Infantry Forces at Gallipoli in 1915,
Commander of the Second Division in France 1916–17, and
Chief of General Staff 1917–20.
Commandant RMC 1920–22.

He served during the Boer War and WWI.

]]> Lone Gumtree mtbikeroz Found Nice to revisit this area, cache found OK, nice little hide. Thanks for the history lesson. M_Family Found Nice spot to visit. A clever cache container design. I hope it lasts. TFTC! SamWalkers Publish Listing Good luck. Walk the dog. Black Bunny Found Saw this one pop up and thought that we had a shot at a FTF tonight, but alas no. A quick find to SL with Just a cacher and off for a cup of coffee. Just a cacher Found A quick after dinner find with Black Bunny. SL TFTC fillyfam Found Finally - a FTF. TallPaulf pointed this out out to me just before home time "isn't this on your way home?". Alas I couldn't escape the office until after dark and had to give a muggle a lift home. Didn't have geolocator or torch with me, but had to park in backstreet and give it a go anyway. I was sure I could remember the satellite view!!!. It all looked the same in the dark - so had to call TallPaulf and get directions. "look for a tree in line with powerpole, now go 20m to your right etc etc." So with the dim light of muggles mobile we found it. Tried to get log out - it was very tight. Shake, shake, SHAKE DAMMIT. Where did the log go????? Nobody move - it's on the ground somewhere. There it is, behind you. Unrolled it - FTF was blank - bewdy. Had trouble getting the log back in - very tight. If I just pull it a bit tighter, bit tighter, bit tighter, rip! Sorry - didn't mean to make the log a bit shorter. Hope I hid it OK afterwards - it was a bit hard to see in the dark. TFTC tallpaulf Note LOL! I should get a 'remote control FTF'!!!

A reminant trig station shown on: Federal Territory Feature Map 1915, Tourist Map of the Australian Capital Territory 1962 and the current topographic map Hall 8727-4S 2003.

The master control (MC) marker still survives to be found but the quadrapod is gone only the depressions of the footings are visble when the grass is short.

The trig is not in the suburb of Weetangerra but Latham. This district of the ACT was originaly known as Weetangera, bounded by Ginninderra Creek, Murrumbidgee River and Molonglo River.
Access is off Pohlman Street.

This is one of the few hill top trigs in Canberra that has been built out. There is a suburban open space running along the top of the ridge northwest to Ginnenderra Creek. There is a cycle path running near by, a play ground for the trig kids and some historic locations nearby.

A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ.

A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.

Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape. Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to get to.

These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.

To log a find on the Geocaching Australia website, you will need to include a picture of the trig point, along with your GPS receiver and (preferably) yourself. Long distance / telephoto type pictures are against the spirit of this cache. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.

The original collection of trig points has been sourced from Geoscience Australia and may contain inaccuracies.

Please respect local laws and regulations when searching for trig points. If you believe that a trig point is located on private property or in a dangerous location, you may archive the cache, by clicking on Log this Cache and place an "Archived" log on the Geocaching Australia website.

If you feel that you can add to the description of this trig point or adjust the difficulty / terrain ratings, please feel free to edit this cache and amend the information suitably. Vandalism of the cache description or other information will result in your account being terminated.

]]> Not the survey point. The block of concrete next to it with a bolt mtbikeroz Found So, how many times have I ridden right past here and didn't even know??? Bolt in concrete found. "Trig" found.

GA2456 Cacher's place Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2456 Cacher's place Geocache Geocache Cacher's place JustinCBR Lyneham Australian Capital Territory Australia Other Micro 1 1.5 My favorite caches are movable, so I decided that that is what I would do for my first cache.  I was also curious where most of Canberra's cachers live - Tuggers, Belco, North, South or whatever.  Hence the idea behind this cache.  The idea is that if you find it, hide within 50m or so of where you live (or if you're visiting Canberra, where you've been staying).

I expect that most of us have seen a great caching spot close to where we live, but not wanted the ongoing traffic that a permanent cache creates.  This is another reason why a movable cache is ideal - you can hide it, but once it is discovered it will be moved on.

If you're not staying anywhere in Canberra or don't want to hide it near where you live, that's ok too - just log the find and put it back for the next finder.

I'm hoping that in a few months I'll be able to plot all of the hiding spots and find a distribution right across the city.  Please don't move it outside the ACT region (ie Canberra + Q/beyan and Jerra).

The cache is an eclipse mint tin coloured in black.  Have fun.

 

FTF Honours - Congratulations Bewilderbeest!

]]> M_Family Note Sorry no excuse for the delay in us hiding this one. If you wonder what the strange black thing is down the driveway, it's solar air heater ready to be mounted on the roof. M_Family Found Picked up this one on a trip to the back of Gungahlin. G'day! Now you'll have to come over to our house. SecretSquirrel-BJC Note Another big move to get it started SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 122+1959=2081 with Captain Tomato Found it near mtbikeroz's favourite haunt - the road up the hill at the back of Banks Will hide/move it soon - no magnet? BTW - a fun idea... Captain Tomato Found Helped recover it from MBO's place. mtbikeroz Note Nice views too. BZZZZZZ HHMMMMMM Big Box hide. mtbikeroz Found Got it, now for a long trip South. Bewilderbeest Found Found @ 8am. I was taking my usual trawl of GCA when I suddenly realised there was a new cache out. I was up a little later than usual, so assumed I would be too late for *FTF*, and that if I headed off I'd just end up looking for something that was no longer there. But I decided what the hell and went anyway, and was rewarded with the find! I have an idea of where to place it, I just have to work out how to attach it. Cheers Bewilderbeest Note New location. I dont recommend parking on Majura Ave, Wilshire St is a better option. Enjoy!

]]> Tankengine Found Well, what do you know! There is a trig point up here! Had a quick look at one stage, when I was on my trig finding spree, but didn't see it at the time!

BigON Found Lots of tourists all over the place, I had to wait for a few minutes for some nearby folks to finish up their lunch and move on before I could get the required photo.

Albida. mtbikeroz Found Well at least there was NO SNOW up here, unlike my earlier adventures this day.

]]> Bewilderbeest Found My third trig of the afternoon, but unfortunately I had miscalculated the time so I was quite pushed trying to get here, and then get back to the car before dark. It was a bit dark and close in there - you did well finding this trig pjw! mtbikeroz Found A lovely SUB-ZERO morning for a MTB ride. Really quite pleasant riding around the forest trails. Glad my GPS has ALL the trails, one could get lost in there. Coming from the South & Amungula, then rode along the border trail, very pleasant, till I got near the trig then went cross country. Got some nice early morning pics. Then Cooeeee back down the hills. Went flying through one frozen puddle - CRUNCH Tinkle tinkle - that was THICK ice - broke like thick glass, bike OK. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp5415/2532343320.jpg"> Geocaching Australia Publish Listing Published pjw Found First to find - Trig point 3 on my Kowen trek today. Whichever way you attack this point from it will require hiking or riding over several kays of forest trails with numerous steep ascents and descents (unless you're fortunate enough to gain vehicular access to Kowen). It was worth it. As you can see from the pic this trig point is not obvious and unless your waypoint is accurate you'll struggle to locate it. If anyone ever removes the remains of the metal circles it will be hard to identify. There is no road leading right up to this one but as with other trigs, if you follow the terrain to the highest point you'll find it. No view due to the pines but if they ever log it again it would be pretty impressive.

]]> Bewilderbeest Found I had a gorgeous afternoon meandering through Kowen. This was my second trigpoint for the afteroon. The views along the way were great, and it was cool, moist and just serene (apart from when 5 guys on trail bikes whizzed past!). Great spot, thanks. mtbikeroz Found A lovely SUB-ZERO morning for a MTB ride. Really quite pleasant riding around the forest trails. Glad my GPS has ALL the trails, one could get lost in there.

It is a very clever idea - well done Norkmeister I will move it on soon Captain Tomato Found Good concept. Found with SS-BJC on our walk to Pryor's hut. mtbikeroz Found WONDERFUL CONCEPT. A short trip in to retrieve it from a cache I haven't been to since 2004. mtbikeroz Note WONDERFUL CONCEPT. I hope this little cuckoo doesn't mind being placed into a Lyre Bird's lair, UP IN THE SNOW. Have placed it high up in the mountains in Lyre Bird territory (I saw one close to the cache) up in the cache GC2A5T4 Pryors Hut. Its COLD, SNOW, WET - have fun little cuckoo! SamWalkers Note I placed Cuckoo VERY near to Molonglo Views [GCKQ61] Had a great ride from Deeks Drive. A misty morning burning off fast. By the time I got to the cache it was full sun and I was breaking out a sweat. There is only one nasty hill (on the way in). After placing the cache I wandered about and clocked up about 12km. SamWalkers Found SamWalkers will come. Good Dog. Talk about generating some paper work though. For one *FTF* on a GCA I am also logging the associated TB, the parasitised GC cache, a GCA Trig and a Waymark for the trig too. While I am over this way there are a couple of Norkmeister puzzles I need to deal with too. I have some solutions to try out. Perhaps I could parasitise the parasite cache or the nasty beak disease one.

The rapids were quite loud today. Tankengine Found Chooo ooo *FTF* ! Or is that FFTF? (Facebook First to Find?) There I was in the middle of watching Steve Jobs keynote on the iPhone 4, when Facebook announced a new wall listing! OK – it was time for a break anyway! That is the first time that I received a new cache alert via facebook! Thanks SS! Being dark, it was a tad harder to find, and I managed to search all the tough area first!

Returned and reset Badja Found I got the co-ordinates from Karma on the same day. I have done very few GA caches but there you go, you got me. I was cautious but nothing squeeled or hissed so all was good. Tankengine Found AH - been bitten by one of these suckers before, and wasn't going to let that happen again! So proceeded with caution! Cache soon in hand! Love it, excellent camo and set up! TNLN thanks Sam Walkers. Oz_Snow Found As we arrived at the gate, we meet a small family returning from what was obviously a family outing, geocaching perhaps?? When we arrived at GZ and checked the log, we saw that 'TankEngine' visited the cache today as well. Maybe that family was 'TankEngine'?? Anyway, great cache and camo as always, loved it. Thanks alot SamWalkers. Captain Tomato Found A really top cache, found with Secret Squirrel. Found the GZ without any trouble, but then...... a quick trip to Woden hospital to fix my lost fingers. Ouch. he he he. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 103+1895=1998 with Captain Tomato Thanks SamWalkers for another brilliant cache – such a pleasure to see your handiwork. And the walk down the track at the moment was delightful. rbirtles Found Parks at the gates I have used before and walked down the road before a small stroll in the grass. Spotted the most likeliest of places but before I put my hand in I had to do a double take - What The ...? After ensuring that I wasn't provoking something I might regret I soon had the cache in hand. Great idea - couldn't find the log book at first DOH!! M_Family Found I took geoson for this cache. We didn't have much time so I made him run there and back. Sorry son:-) Nice cache! Black Bunny Found Found on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Access to the parking area was restricted with a load of cars parked at the entrance to the track. After navigating the obstacls it was onto the cache. An enjoyable walk to GZ and signing of the log.

I was a bit cool being on the shady side of the hill, but thats okay - there was another top SamWalkers cache that made it worthwhile. Thanks very much! nodwar Found Always enjoy the walks along Mt Painter. Scored the trig then went across to this one. Great hide. TFTC Oz_Snow Found What a wonderful camo and cache, once agian, another highly thought of cache and camo by the one and only SamWalkers.

Got to a gate and couldnt find a way past so locked up the bike on the gate, and walked the 200 meters down a slippy slope to gz. Now I had done the cache that this owner had put out acouple of months ago for this celebration. So made a easy find. And to my surprise still a FTF at 11am, hooray! Got back to the bike and looked for the next one and figured out oh no didnt upload the third cache. Out came the phone and got its co ordinates that way. Phew could do all three. Off to the next one which I knew that the ftf had gone TFTC Happy Birthday Geocaching in Australia! mr_roo Other Should of seen me on the pushbike!

Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1939 Does Altitude Count? Geocache Geocache Does Altitude Count? Norkmeister Chapman Australian Capital Territory Australia Multi Regular 1.5 2.5 The reason I name this cache "Does Altitude Count?" is that it is only 150 metres from a GC cache I found on the weekend, Murrumbidgee Meander. But when you take into account the 56 metres altitude difference then it is 206 metres away. I was going to try to finagle a GC cache here when it occurred to me that this would be a perfect spot for an anniversary GCA cache. So here it is.

Start your walk at the trailhead at S 35° 23.750 E 149° 00.730 and enjoy the walk along the well-maintained track from Kambah Pool that goes all the way to Casuarina Sands. When you get to the posted co-ordinates (about a 3km walk) have a seat on the provided bench and then make the following observations:

A = The number of logs making up the seat part of the bench (the part you put your bum on)

B = The number of logs making up the back rest of the bench

C = The number of logs parallel to, but behind the back rest

If the type of fastener is a Phillips head D = 1

If the type of fastener is a hex head D = 2

If the type of fastener is a bolt D = 3

There are two letters on each fastener head. E = The alphabet letter value of the of the larger one, where A=1, B=2 ... Z=26

Then find the cache using the following formula:

S35° 22.B(A+B)D'

E149° 0.CCE

Checksums: S24 E30

First to find: mtrax.

Please don't post photos of the bench in your logs!

As an added challenge, see if you can beat my time from trailhead to bench (walking!) of 34:49 and provide pictorial evidence in your log.

]]> If that is a head, then it is under the first cervical vertebra dejavu2 Found Eerily familiar mr_roo Found After gathering the information made it to the gz for this one. After a dnf near to gz I was really keen to find this one. Made a great find and enjoyed the views TFTC Captain Tomato Found Found with Mr Roo. We had a couple of detours on the way to this cache but enjoyed picking up the clues and the cache. TFTC Tankengine Found Great walk this morning! Fantastic view from the bench! Met Secret Squirrel along the way! Quick chat and continued on! Lovely walk, did it in 38 minutes from gate to bench. Thanks Norkmeister! SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 114+1901=2015 Thanks Norkmeister for a thoroughly delightful walk to a commanding location on the Murrumbidgee. The seat is a surprise and unexpected – thanks. Saw Tankengine on the way back, and also a huge eagle circling high above. The rapids were very loud below the walking trail. norkmeister Note Updated listing to fix up formula error. Be careful, I only changed one word. mtbikeroz Found Left trailhead early in the foggy morning (Well, it was foggy along the river corridor), then walked just admiring the views as I went. Got to the bench in 42mins - steady, but not rushed walking. Then after I took some macro pics of the required fasteners to send to Norkmeister, I made the calcs, adjusted for the correct letter, then off I went to find the cache. Came back for more of the wonderful views at the bench. A TOP SPOT. Thanks J for the effort and cache and location. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/ga1939/5712250094.jpg"> mtrax Found Took a long lunch for this one, probably not the normal lunch, I was going to attempt in the morning on bike but its out of action, so a window opened at lunch time. A great walk, probably one of the better walks I've been on, pity I had to rush along as I had a deadline meeting after my "lunch", took about 35 mins to get to posted coords then sat briefly gathering my wits and clues. Couldn't get the checksum to work so tried to reverse engineer from checksum... nope I'll stick with calculated coords. after another short walk nearby and thankfully still up high, found the GZ .woot!/ Signed log and looked at watch.. its going to be tight for my 2pm meeting. norkmeister Note Will recheck the GZ checksums tonight. norkmeister Note From what I can tell the checksum is ok. I don't actually have the photographic proof of the value of letter E. If the next person who logs it could take a macro shot of it and send it to me I'd be grateful. norkmeister Publish Listing Published GA1987 Walkies Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1987 Walkies Geocache Geocache Walkies Black Bunny Hall Australian Capital Territory Australia Traditional Regular 1 1.5 A cache to help celebrate 10 years of caching in Australia.

 

Lane Cove was hidden on 18-May-2000, so 18-May-2010 will see the 10th anniversary of geocaching in Australia.

 

 

 

Walkies is an easy sort of cache, inside the leash-free dog walking area at Hall.

There is a sign on the gate, and if you go in with your dog, you're supposed to turn it around, so others know there's a dog(s) inside.

A dog isn't essential to finding this cache, but if you have one, take him/her along for a stroll.  This area is adjacent to stock paddocks so take care and do not let the four legged friends stroll too near. 

 

This area is bushland so please keep an eye out for all the regular creepy crawlies found in the bush.

 

There is a parking area adjacent to the dog walking area, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding it. 

 

There is plenty of room for swaps in this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

]]> In a tree stump. Yes, that one. BigON Found Excellent Cache container and hide. However lookout for the owner and pack of at least 6 large german shepards that run in here on occasion, both are feral and nasty. she doesn't believe that an area marked as a dog run should be shared with any walkers, dogs only. I was warned off by her that her dogs have been known to be very nasty (ie leave before I set the dogs on you). An old beatup white van at the gate near the carpark just in the hall road turnoff means the area should be avoided until they are gone. Yes, it was tempting to add something about dogs and bitches but I wont go there. McPhan Found How cool is that? I parked off the highway and stepped over the fence to get to GZ. Lifted the cover and thought, oh how cute - a fake frog on the container lid. Just to be sure I nudged it with my finger and it was soft, damp and cool. Another slight nudge and it jumped off into the depths. Future finders please take care - it's really a very cute brown frog. TFTC and the strollies. geogel Found Cool! Just dodoge the dog poo. M_Family Found I went in the side way (over the fence) I was then sprung by 3 German Shepard's at the cache! Fortunately they only sniffed me and the owner was not to be seen. TFTC! Tankengine Found Nice little dogie park, and a nice hide! Was here recently looking for access to trigs, but access was not to be had! jusojara Found Found tonight with mr_roo on our way back from Wattle Park and after spotting some dodgy looking people parked at the Victoria St carpark, we parked at a much closer spot - just had to negotiate the fence in the dark, but no problems. Thanks Black Bunny for another nice large cache. mr_roo Found Two well packed caches these ones. Happy they were easy to find as I did them in the dark TFTC Captain Tomato Found A nice little detour off the main drag. TFTC SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 102+1892=1994 with Captain Tomato Thanks Black Bunny – loved the nice big and different cache container. Thanks for the nice walk this morning. albida33 Found A short walk for me, and no dog to keep me company. Albida. mtbikeroz Found Impressive container, my last outstanding GCA cache for the day. Had a play with the Jacob's ladder, then replaced it and left. Thanks for the fun. Black Bunny Publish Listing SamWalkers Found Sam and a SamWalker went walkies. We found a great container with an empty log! Great a *FTF* at 9:15 Sam had a great time running about exploring all the smells. He left his version of Pathtags as he went. I am starting to feel the need of a good cup of coffee. Left: a coffee cup (if you pick it up there is a matching saucer under the cache container in the hide). Took: nothing GA1999 Take a Seat Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1999 Take a Seat Geocache Geocache Take a Seat TallPaulF Phillip Australian Capital Territory Australia Other Small 1.5 1.5 This is my first hide!  When I saw the the notification for the GCA 10th anniversary celebrations, I thought it was time to start hiding.

Some of the most enjoyable finds I've had during my 6 months or so of geocaching were the entries in the Moving Cache Race that spent time in Canberra, so I've decided to make my first cache a moveable one.

You should be able to take a seat to sign the log - perhaps even while you find the cache, which is a 200ml Sistema container.  There is room for small swaps or swaggies, but they probably need to be fairly light.  Please move the cache on to a similar structure to where it started out, or if that proves difficult, any suitably attractive and appropriately coloured hide should work.

So, get out there and enjoy the experience of boldly snatching a cache from right under the nose of any nearby muggles...

Note:  If you like this cache, you may also like to find my second wandering 10th anniversary cache: "Take a Seat Too"

]]> Under the table. tallpaulf Enable Listing Made it significantly more attractive, and left it in Woden where it's sister cache has been before. If you come to pick it up at lunchtime, you may be observed by tallpaulf or fillyfam! tallpaulf Temporarily Disable Picked it up this morning; will put back out after I've improved the magnets. norkmeister Note I've moved this one again to a more quiet area of Telopea Park. I was walking by and a "gentleman who is down on his luck" was camped nearby. norkmeister Note I tried every bench and table in telopia park. Either they weren't magnetic enough or the cache was too exposed or the magnets not strong enough, so once again it ain't on a seat. tallpaulf Note If I can get my hands on it, I'll try and improve its magnets... norkmeister Found Picked this up at lunchtime. At first I thought the coordinates were waaay out since my GPS had me a long way away from where I expected to be. Then a reading of 3 metres to the cache suddenly changed to 70 metres! Right, that is more what I expected. At GZ there was some weird hooded, headphoned chick sitting virtually on top of the cache (once I worked out where it was) and after waiting for her to move for a few minutes I thought "what the hell" and just walked up to within 1 metre of her and grabbed the cache and walked away. Oz Lurker Note <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" /> time for some culture to appear. If you can see Mr Rodin's friends, you're in the ballpark (or should that be - the sculpture garden??) Oz Lurker Note <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" /> And it had been sitting there for so long, I figured I had some leeway in logging the darn thing!!! Which was required since I had a technical blowout with the new-fangled phone and Inter- thingy-webby stuff. Sorry, BWB, I'm guessing you were there after me - don't panic, your competance is not in question. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="Mr. Green" title="Mr. Green" /> Oz Lurker Found Take a seat? Why thankyou, and I think I'll take your cache as well <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> I'm sure I can find somewhere interesting for this one to sit. Bewilderbeest Note Aha, this perhaps explains why I couldnt find it today. Unless you were there this afternoon Oz Lurker, in which case Im (still) incompetent?? SamWalkers Note My first choice for a seat to sit on turned out to be aluminium so I went to my second choice. Stainless Steel. Isn't any thing magnetic any more? "OK" I says "I will just have to modify one of them so it works." Take a seat and enjoy your dinner. albida33 Note Back out again. Happy hunting. Albida SamWalkers Note When I grabbed the FTF I had lots of new caches loaded on to my GPS and didn't see the that this (or it's sibling) was a moveable and didn't grab the cache. Now that it was been placed just around the corner from my home co-ordinates I couldn't ignore that so this time I have taken your seat... and moved it. mr_roo Note Finally got this one out again. But dont rush out as I went back today and looks like someone I told has already got it albida33 Found Grabbed this one quickly, only one moveable left now. Albida (until Norkmeister put another one out...) mr_roo Found Grabbed this one on a day out caching. I got off the bus from civic and just had to cross the road. I found it in the first place I looked hooray thought I was lucky to have it still there, will put it out tomorrow TFTC Crystal Warrior Found Picked up on the way home tonight. Did not see Take a Seat II wing6rider Note Dropped in a quiet 'sheltered' spot! wing6rider Found Grabbed from Crystal Warrior. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 116+1906=2022 Finally tracked this cache down in the hands of Mtrax – I had a tip off from Tankengine out on the trail today. Moveable caches are fun – but I curse them too – they are never usually there where I expect them to be. Thanks TallPaulF SecretSquirrel-BJC Note Moved the cache to quiet little oasis in the city - I wonder if anyone ever sits here. mtrax Found also picked up at cache planning meeting from Tankengine.. SSQ called me so maybe he will hide otherwise I'll find a spot tomorrow Tankengine Found Found it! Now... Where to hide it... Black Bunny Found A quick fond in the park. Will move it on. SL TFTC Black Bunny Note New co-ords S35° 15.530' E149° 06.550' Candy Cane 101 Found Found with Mr Black Bunny. Bewilderbeest Found I went for an early morning stroll up a familiar path. Even though it was still dark, there were plenty of other people about. When I arrived in the carpark, a bloke with a torch in hand went past and of course being paranoid I immediately thought he would be looking for the same thing I was. But it turned out to be the security guard doing his rounds. Anyway, with the light starting to improve, a brief search at GZ turned up the cache. Now to find a new home for it... Bewilderbeest Note My office has a nice little garden with bench seats out the front. I briefly considered hiding this cache there. Even though the seats are out of sight of the security cameras, I thought better of it - with the Governer-General visiting this morning, the security guys were a bit excitable. So I found another spot not far away thats pleasant to sit and look out over the water. I hope you enjoy it. M_Family Found couldn't help myself - I was close by picking up the kids after Bollywood dance class nearby - I had 10 mins to spare so guess what I found! Moved on after dinner. M_Family Note Come and get me! If it lasts until Sunday pick up a moving cache on the way to trash & treasure. JustinCBR Found Missed this one in Belconnen, but fortunately it hadn't gone too far. Time for another move tonight. JustinCBR Note Closer to the city - ideal for some of the other inner north cachers M_Family Note Take a seat and contemplate the memorial nearby. "Remembering the aboriginal people who served in the Australian Forces". While taking in the view I wondered why this memorial is tucked away in this place and not along Anzac pde. Shameful. But still this place is here so take some time to reflect while collecting the cache. M_Family Found I picked up this cache from a very lovely spot while on a lunchtime walk - will move on soon. Tealby Found Got a tip off about this one & made the loooong walk to retrieve!! <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> TFTC - will drop off closer to the CBD sometime this afternoon. Tealby Note Moved to a pleasant spot to sit & enjoy the park & running water nearby. The cache is quite visible (only if you particularly look) - but hopefully it will be moved on quickly. Unfortunately the magnets are not very strong, so I was unable to place the cache under the seat. mtbikeroz Note Dropped off INTO THE HANDS of a passing cacher with instructions on how to place them - stay tuned .... McPhan Found Another hand off in an appropriately coloured area for both caches (although not too much to stick to un-noticed. TFTC and the theft. McPhan Note Pretty sure it'll move quickly from here. winglen Found McPhan talks about sticking it to something unnoticed - does sticking it to our fridge count as unnoticed? (ha ha!) winglen Note The green seat had nothing suitable for attachment that wasn't appropiately concealed so this has been repositioned nearby, where I feel sure that a caching near-neighbour will find it soon. tallpaulf Publish Listing Ready to start the celebrations! SamWalkers Found A great night for the tragic night hunters. Having made two DNFs cos of unwanted attention I was pleased to make a couple of straight forward grabs. I parked a little way off so as not to attract any more attention and found an unmarked log book. *FTF* 1:03 am mtbikeroz Found Picked up on the way home on the bike. GA2089 Take a Seat Too Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2089 Take a Seat Too Geocache Geocache Take a Seat Too TallPaulF Oxley Australian Capital Territory Australia Other Small 1.5 1.5 When I saw the the notification for the GCA 10th anniversary celebrations, I thought it was time to start hiding, so I created my first cache: "Take a Seat"

Since doing so, my lunchtime walks have been taking me further afield (or perhaps I'm just noticing more hiding opportunities), so I decided that a second cache was in order, and like the first, it is another wanderer.
 
Also like the first, you should be able to take a seat to sign the log - perhaps even while you find the cache, which is a 200ml Sistema container.  Please move the cache on to a similar structure to where it started out, or if that proves difficult, any suitably attractive and appropriately coloured hide should work.
 
So, get out there and enjoy the experience of boldly snatching two caches from right under the nose of any nearby muggles!

]]> norkmeister Note Moved again. Couldn't find a suitable seat. So reach up and find. norkmeister Found Picked this up again since it wasn't too good a hide and school was starting back up next week. I'll find a better spot on Sunday. mr_roo Found Out this way after a doctor's appointment, thought id leave it down here so it could travel south TFTC happy travelling little cache norkmeister Found Picked up on the way from home. Will put out tonight. norkmeister Note I wanted to put in on this seat, but the magnet wasn't strong enough. While I considered heading back home for a stronger magnet I decided that near enough was good enough. albida33 Note Back out again. Albida mr_roo Found Oh a cache nearby, and a moveable have to go out and get this. Grabbed it at 10pm tonight. Got to love people for putting them nearby. Thanks Albida and TFTC. Will move soon albida33 Found Yey, it was there. I'll find a new spot soon. Albida Oz Lurker Note Dropped this one on the way back from dinner with friends. Oz Lurker Found Well, I swung by here last night to grab 'Take a Seat' - but 'Oh my" twasn't there. When I got home and logged my cache, I noticed that this one had miraculously appeared - 'Gadzooks'!!! This morning I rushed out early to make sure I could lay my hands on this 'un before it too vanished into the fog on a cold Winter's morning, but luckily, I was able to entice it into the car with the promise of a nice warm heater <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />. Have a spot in mind and will drop it off soon. TFTC Crystal Warrior Found Picked up from Wing6Rider. Will find an appropriate place for it to sit on the way home. Crystal Warrior Note Dropped where it can catch a quick ride home M_Family Found Picked up with a few muggles about. I suppose it doesn't really matter when picking up a moving cache:-) M_Family Note Since this is a moving cache I have placed it some where I hope you will find rather novel. I'd appreciate it if someone could be picked up in the next few days:-) wing6rider Found Almost nearly on my way home from work. So, a quick stop in a suburban setting and an 'unusual' placement! Will pass to Crystal Warrior who will place out soon..... Bewilderbeest Note Sorry guys, I didnt know the move was so eagerly awaited. In the interest of expediency, I have placed this cache in a location I wouldnt otherwise have used. Please note: 15min parking as available adjacent to GZ; there is no need to walk on the gardens (approach from the building/eastern side); at GZ you will be out of direct sight of the security camera; there may be muggles about but the foliage should provide enough of a screen - unless someone is actually sitting at GZ! GPS accuracy was +/- 9m when I dropped the cache. It should be a fairly straight forward grab, so even though it is quite close to the building I dont expect you'll have any issues. JustinCBR Found Got it! Will move it on tonight. TFTC Bewilderbeest Note Crikey, that was quick! JustinCBR Note I was determined to do this one before heading o/s for work for a week, so glad I did it. Took it to my favorite 2 seats in the middle of Limestone Ave only to find an unanticipated absence of attaching materials. My fallback location also turned out to be unsuitable (aluminium), so I've dropped it off at a spot not far from some good memories early in my caching 'career' - there is another cache hidden not too far from this spot. This cache has also given me some ideas for a few moving caches of my own for when I get back to Canberra, so stay tuned. TFTC TallPaulF JustinCBR Note wing6rider, I've done the other one, so I'll be racing you for it when it does... wing6rider Note Is it coming back out soon??? wing6rider Didn't find it Missed when we picked up the sibling cache? Bewilderbeest Found Sorry Wing6rider, I picked it up on my way home from southern regions. Im kinda glad I beat you to it though, as Ive already done its companion. That would have been a little frustrating! Cheers mtrax Found picked up from Tankengine at our Nowra planning mission SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 117+1906=2023 Finally tracked this cache down in the hands of Mtrax – I had a tip off from Tankengine out on the trail today. Moveable caches are fun – but I curse them too – they are never usually there where I expect them to be. Thanks TallPaulF. SecretSquirrel-BJC Note Moved the cache to quiet little oasis in the city - I wonder if anyone ever sits here. Two caches for the price of one here. Tankengine Found Took a seat, and the cache found me! - Wow that's the way I like it! Now if only those Namadgi caches would do that! winglen Note Managed to place this somewhere appropriate where it should be found quickly! Tealby Found Another very easy find! It doesn't get much easier than when the cache comes to me!! Will move on shortly... mtbikeroz Note Dropped off INTO THE HANDS of a passing cacher with instructions on how to place them - stay tuned .... McPhan Found A suspicious character caught us at this cache and after an friendly exchange, another friendly exchange took place. Cool 99 GCA down. TFTC and the repeat petty larceny. McPhan Note Confident it will be on it's way quickly from this spot too (two,to) as well, also. winglen Found The second moveable GCA placed close to us this evening. Will place it somewhere appropriate tomorrow hopefully. Thanks! mtbikeroz Found WHAT AN AUDACIOUS HIDE !!!!!!! Lucky I came through at 7am, not a SOUL in sight (pun intended!). Looked around at various structures, ignoring where GPS was trying to put me, then gave in and went to the coords - SPOT ON. What an Audacious hide! Taken to move on to somewhere.... tallpaulf Publish Listing Couldn't resist letting another movable cache loose in the ACT [:)] SamWalkers Found A great night for the tragic night hunters.

I was very pleased to find my second unmarked log book for the night. *FTF* 1:13 am fillyfam Found Thought it would have moved by now - but had a look anyway as I was walking right past GZ. Lucky for me it was still there. I will drop it elsewhere later today. fillyfam Note Dropped cache at a pleasant spot. Ended up staying at GZ longer than was strictly necessary.

Terrain is a little rougher than Jack & Jill, but should still be a relatively easy find once you get there - just mind where you put your feet. You are looking for a 2li sistema container.

]]> Look for the standing skeleton of an old gum tree Oz Lurker Found Oh yes - this was in an awesome location!! But I should have listened to CazBol, she wanted to cross much earlier than I, and was correct to suggest it. Never mind, the cache was soon at hand and signed, but we did spend some time admiring the tenacity of the tree - surely it should fall soon???? BigON Found Surprisingly short walk from Jack and Jill. Easy find but I dropped the bag while sitting on the wall, jumped down and noted the little fire that was built here a while back, more importantly I noted that the nearby tree doesn't have a whole lot of base supporting it. TFTC Tankengine Found It was a lovely sunny winters day, perfect for sitting on walls at the top of hills! – But luckily, not a great fall for me! Lovely spot. Great views along the way! TNLN, thanks Tealby! (Now to find LMM). SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 111+1899=2010 with Captain Tomato Ah Tealby – it is always a pleasure to walk along this ridge. Captain Tomato Found Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC. We took the relatively easy walk up from Miss Muffett. Enjoyed wandering around this hill once again. TFTC winglen Found Now and again Jasper and I take our afternoon walk on Isaacs Ridge rather than Farrer Ridge, especially when there are caches to be had! By this stage it was almost dark and I was down to warning level in the battery stakes, so I was glad to make this find before heading for home in the dark. Thanks Tealby! mtbikeroz Found That's a cute little wall hiding in there. Walked in from Jack & Jill, Thanks Tealby. Tealby Publish Listing Happy Anniversary! norkmeister Found Woohoo *FTF*. My second for the day and my first FTF of a GCA cache. Wandered up here after finishing work at 9:45 tonight. Saw these were still unfound so decided on a nice night time walk. Got to GZ at 10:50 and found a way in carefully by torchlight. Cache found, glad it wasn't a micro. I really liked the logbook and grabbed the FTF price. Nice PT Tealby, thanks.

A nice easy find.  Please make sure it is sitting out of sight to keep muggles at bay.

Many happy returns!

]]> Tree stump! BigON Found Quick wander down from the lookout just as the sun started to touch the horizon, easy find and off back up the hill chasing a mob of roos out of the way. mr_roo Found Second today and this one was alot easier then the one i just completed. I went up to gz and thought of the cache I just completed why not jump on a nearby log and grab it that way. SL and then reached from the ground to replace TFTC Candy Cane 101 Found Nice walk, lots of prickles in all the wrong places. Fairly easy find. TFTC Black Bunny Found A quick Sunday find on Red Hill. The view was not much to write home about today with the fog and smoke haze around, but a great spot for a cache. SL TFTC Tankengine Found Lovely little walk from the lookout! Nice hide too! Thanks! Bewilderbeest Found It was a busy day here, I was the 4th name in the logbook just today! I seemed to be mostly following Black Bunny and Candy Cane 101, but came across Tankengine's name a few times too. My 6th of 8 finds on Red Hill this afternoon, thanks Crystal Warrior SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 108+1899=2007 with Captain Tomato Thanks wing6rider – always nice to nose about on Red Hill. The bush is so green and lush at the moment. Good to see another good-sized cache Captain Tomato Found Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC. A different perspective on the suburbs below. Lots of kangaroos around today. TFTC dogwalk Found Great find after finishing orienteering, love the search. TFTC fox on the run Found Nice easy find and picking up from orienteering. Not realising how busy the track is, four muggles pass, however, all is OK. Cache return to hiding spot without being noticed. dogwalk Found Great Hide, TFTC M_Family Found I have been here recently - but at least I didn't have to climb the fence this time! Thanks for the excuse to escape the office on a lovely day. McPhan Found With all these GCA caches popping up it's hard to keep up with them. Only spotted this one as we were heading up to get the trig. Parked closely and took the steps to a well guarded GZ. Go go gadget arms retrieved the cache with no problems and then it was on to Davidson Trig. TFTC and the gaseous mass (I swear it was the dog!) winglen Found Another quick find after a short uphill walk this morning with McPhan. Sun is shining and the autumn colours are great. Thanks for the jaunt Wing6rider. mtbikeroz Found A quick and easy find on the way home from work, rode all the way on the MTB, then admired the views before, Coooeeeeeee the roll down. Thanks. wing6rider Publish Listing Ready to go! Good luck! cazbol Found ***FTF*** Woot! What an awesome spot for such a big cache!! Thoroughly loved this anniversary cache though as with all the late night runs I am doing lately it came complete with blackberry canes... Waited up for the caches to be posted as I saw that there where up to thirteen going out for the anniversary. It was well worth the wait. Thanks for a great hunt wing6rider. TNLN. SamWalkers Found I parked at the top of the hill and walked down the track in the dark. No need for a torch the moon was so bright. Scared my self silly as I came within 4 metres of a big buck kangaroo. I like this end of the crest. Many years ago my mates and I used to come up here and light a bonfire and spend most of the night sitting watching the lights. Loved the hide. norkmeister Found #1 of 2 GCA anniversary caches picked up at lunchtime. Well since I picked up the battle cache from here I didn't even need a GPS to locate it! The old dead blackberry bush was the only impediment. TNLN Thanks for the cache. Crystal Warrior Found A nice quick find late at night with the help of the cache owner. GA2087 Happy Anniversary!! Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2087 Happy Anniversary!! Geocache Geocache Happy Anniversary!! Oz Lurker Chapman Australian Capital Territory Australia Traditional Small 1.5 2.5 Cooleman Ridge is a part of Canberra Nature Park and also part of the Bicentennial Equestrian Trail.

There are many species of flora and fauna to be seen, and many other caches to be collected in the area.

Make sure you collect a pamphlet from the trailhead, it contains a map and information regarding Points of Interest.

This is a GeoPup friendly (on-leash) area with lots of great smells.

 

Please ensure the cache is placed back exactly as you found it. Thanks

 

 

]]> Hmmm, that's a big tree. Oz Lurker Owner Maintenance Ok all checked out and back in it's hiding place Oz Lurker Enable Listing Oz Lurker Temporarily Disable Temporarily offline until I can get back to fix it. It's just not as much fun as a standard <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" /> BigON Found I clambered over the three rung barbed wire fence only to find a gate near the GZ 'figures'. Spotted the cache straight away as it was on the ground, signed and looked for a 'natural' place to return it with no joy so I've rehidden it as a standard at the same GZ. TFTC McPhan Didn't find it 301. And it's been a long time between drinks. Obviously too good for me and Tikaani to find. Hmmmm maybe she's an unlucky caching dog? I've DNF'ed Spymaster and Silver Cloud when she's been with me...... McPhan Found 106. Well took the dog anyway but had FFP the new lucky caching tool with me and had the cache in hand within seconds - and that was half an hour ago in the pitch black. So close to home I've actually walked passed this spot many times recently with the dog. The dachshunds were going off at the nearby house - sucko. TFTC and the kind offer of additional assistance. Tankengine Found Lovely little walk past the dam to get here! - What's with that house in there? Isn't this zoned as grazing land? Anyways, once at GZ, I though I knew were it was... But I was wrong. It took a further 10 minutes of searching before I finally found it! Nicely hidden! Thanks Oz Lurker! winglen Found Happy anniversary to us!! Found on a lovely winter day, to mark up our 100th GCA cache. A tricky little hide that required some closer looking. Thanks OzLurker. mr_roo Found After trying this cache yesterday showing some of my friends caching. I decided to go back and have another look with jusojara today. This time I had a better look and found it quickly yesterday I let someone else look there and they didnt find it. This time I did! TFTC jusojara Found Grabbed today with mr_roo after he DNF'ed it yesterday. Today he knew exactly where he had to go today and came up with a quick find. SL TFTC mtbikeroz Found OK, my excuse??? It was early in the morning and I had my sunnies on!!!!!!!! Found in 5 secs! Thanks (I think <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> ) mtbikeroz Didn't find it YA KIDDIN ME, I spent AN HOUR there, for a DNF........... I turned over EVERYTHING, climbed everything, stuck my head everywhere, even scoured the nearby rocks (15m away). HMMMMMMMMMMMM SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 101+1889=1990 with Captain Tomato hahahaha mbo! Yes it was a little tricky but after a little while we knew that it had to be in one last place. Thanks Oz Lurker for the fun of the hunt. Captain Tomato Found We did a bit of the required scratching around, then settled on the correct aspect to best view the hide. Bingo. Oz Lurker Publish Listing Happy 10th Anniversary, Geocaching in Australia. mtrax Didn't find it saw the flurry of GCA caches so as this was near and geodog needed a walk , headed off, after searching and searching came up with nothing . oh well geodog appreciated the walk and it was a fine morning to be up and about. cazbol Found I saw the dnf and seeing how Oz Lurker is away at the moment I thought I'd do a quick run out to check on it but not log it (Oh mtrax how you must be laughing!). WELL! so much for that plan, I was at gz and had checked absolutely everywhere (in my opinion) twice and was about to give up when I thought I'd have one last look. Finally!! There it was and after that hunt I'm claiming the FTF. This is a very sneaky cahce so think twice and look three times with it. Grabbed the key chain but left the Oz Lurker path tag there for the next happy finder. Thanks Oz Lurker. mtrax Found well since cazbol found it it must be there right, 2nd attempt and a few more times around the GZ then decided to focus more, and hazzar found it.. sneaky indeed I must have been looking at it on my previous attempt thanks and geodog thanks you for 2 walks in one day! GA2108 Trunk Calls Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2108 Trunk Calls Geocache Geocache Trunk Calls Oz Lurker Hughes Australian Capital Territory Australia Traditional Regular 1.5 2 This is a great location to park and then go and find a whole bunch of caches (both GC and GCA) in the general vicinity. You can choose to stay low around the base of Red Hill, go high and head up the trails to the top of Red Hill, or be really daring and do them all!!! There is even a great night cache that starts from around here.

Up on the hill  has great views over Canberra, and lots of birdlife and the local skippy population are quite photogenic.

During the day, this area is quite busy, but it's much quieter on weekends.

 

 

]]> It's all in the name. mtrax Found after attempting the nearby cache and failing I was lucky enough to see another cache, phew and this one was alot easier, and geodog enjoyed the walk. thanks tallpaulf Found An easy find with geoboy on the way back to the car after an unsuccessful attempt at "Emergency Services 101". TNLNSL, TFTC! BigON Found Big brother is watching, do we all feel safe? Lots of cameras nearby... Easy find, I like the easy ones just for a change at least. TFTC mr_roo Found Found just before I had a doctor's appointment nearby. I had sometime and thought why not get another cache. Couldnt walk to far as in dress shoes so didnt get the others in the area. Found quickly, and to think I was so close to this one the day before. TFTC Tankengine Found Nice easy find near a scary building! Thanks. M_Family Found Found after uke class nearby. We were going to do the GC nearby but weren't up to the challenge....another day! Captain Tomato Found Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC. Seems like we had joined a fitness campain as we walked across to the GZ. Many muggle walkers and joggers were using the same path which took us right past their finish line. At least we had some privacy at the cache - except for those watching eyes from the nearby exchange. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 107+1897=2004 with Captain Tomato Thanks Oz Lurker – your appropriately-name cache had me thinking whether Captain Tomato might need to make a trunk call to my family to explain why I was in hospital after the next cache. McPhan Found Came straight here after sharing my 3000th find with Winglen, to rack up my 100th GCA find in the same august (but it's only May!) company. A quick find and then off to rack up some more caches in the area. Thanks Mr and Mrs Winglen for accompanying me around to these milestones. Very honoured. TFTC and the STD (that IS subscriber trunk dialling BTW) winglen Found Found this with McPhan on a very pleasant wander around the inner suburbs and Weston. Congratulations on your 100th GCA cache, Fanny! And thanks Oz Lurker. Crystal Warrior Found No trunk calls today just a fun cache. TFTC albida33 Found This is the build my work used to have its computer in. That was along time ago now. Albida Agent Basil Found My first GCA cache, not counting Trigs. Very close to home so did it before work. The nearby GC cache will need a bit more work before I can get a smiley!. mtbikeroz Found A quick and pleasant short cross country ride on the MTB. Thanks. Oz Lurker Publish Listing SamWalkers Didn't find it I could be creeping out the security guards swooping about with a 35w torch. I didn't want to speak to them so I ran away. wing6rider Found Well, after a good night's sleep! (Crystal Warrior was not at all interested in a midnight FTF run!!) I did manage an **FTF** on a nearby cache. So out before breakfast and a quick stroll up the hill from the carpark and there it was. Swapped a pathtag and car. Now to leisurely find some more! cazbol Found I helped Oz Lurker find this little possie and now that wing6rider (Congrats!!) has claimed the first to find I'm claimimg the find. I must admit at night this one is a little daunting with all the lights in the area but still do-able. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> norkmeister Found #2 of 2 GCA anniversary caches picked up at lunchtime. I am sooooo glad I decided to do this cache. I was at "Shooting for the stars!" and on my way to "Take a seat" when I decided this one was on the way enough to do it too. A small detour via Denison street to avoid the works on Kent street had me at the Exchange car park and shortly up the hill to the cache. Was found pretty easily. I had received a couple of email while searching and signing and I noticed the Ump had published a new GC cache that seemed to be nearby. Jumped in the car and pulled out as I brought up the details, was reversing out and saw that it was only 250m away! Drove back in to my park and took off! TNLN, thanks for the cache Oz Lurker. SamWalkers Found Well that is a lot easier in the daylight. I am glad I came back and had a quiet lunch walk with wife. BUT as I sit here logging this find up pops a new GC cache by Cazbol - within sight of this cache! Are you trying to drive me mad? Black Bunny Found A quick find at lunch at a site Mr Bunny used to work at for many years. SL TFTC GA2117 Yarra Hollow Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2117 Yarra Hollow Geocache Geocache Yarra Hollow Crystal Warrior Capital Hill Australian Capital Territory Australia Traditional Regular 1 2 This spot is a perfect place for a cache.  Near the lake, no muggles about and plenty to places to take the kids and have fun after signing the log.

***FTF Honours Gazbol***

 

]]> Base of tree McPhan Found A very easy find as the cover had moved aside. We recovered as well as we could but may need some sturdier stuff soon. I seem to remember another cache around here somewhere but couldn't find it on the GC maps - I guess it was a puzzle? TFTC and the echo. thefourbees Found We were up early and parked across the road. It was a bit dark so we headed directly to the cache. Tealby Found I thought about getting this cache yesterday, but I was feeling a bit stiff & sore after my walk, so put it off till today. A nice big cache so it was easy enough to find, but it took some time to recover reasonably well - hopefully it is not too obvious. TFTC. BigON Found Easy find while in the area after a nearby GC cache, the mound of cover is a dead giveaway. TNLN TFTC mr_roo Found Got to this gz for this one and the cache didnt have much cover on it. SL and replaced trying to put more cover on it TFTC Tankengine Found What a stirling cache! Thanks. Bewilderbeest Found Its always good finding caches in this area, its a nice spot. I had no trouble finding my way to the cache, and quickly spotted it. Even though I had a good bit of daylight left, I made this my last cache for the day and headed home for a cuppa and a bit of time with the kids (well, okay it was going to be the 2nd last but Grunge City was inaccessible). Thanks again Crystal Warrior. Captain Tomato Found Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC. We were getting a bit peckish by the time we pulled up for this cache. Yarralumla bakery was calling us. Oh well, might as well grab this one on the way. TFTC SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 106+1896=2002 with Captain Tomato Thanks Crystal Warrior for encouraging me to drive along the lake here this morning – it is so lovely looking at the lake. Nice big container. Soon we would be off to the Yarra Bakery - yum rbirtles Found Finally I can get around to finding all these lovely GCA caches that appeared last month. This is the first of the bunch and I was able to find it during the lunch hour break. Foliage and overcast weather appeared to make my GPS wander around a bit but eventually I spied a suspicious area where the suspect was uncovered. Cheers and thanks for the cache! M_Family Found This cache gave me the excuse to visit the Yarralumla Bakery for lunch. Cheers and TFTC! winglen Found Parked at the closest point on the road, found the gap in the fence and straight to it. A lovely big cache, and still nice and dry despite the rain today. Thanks CW. wing6rider Found Nice big cache full of entertaining thingys! mtbikeroz Found A quick passing find, nice n quiet this afternoon. albida33 Found Nice hill, another area with a high cache density. No vagabonds in the way today. Albida. norkmeister Found Found on a lunchtime run with a GCA and a GC cache. Parked only 80 metres away and the cache was in the second place I looked. It was HUGE. Hope it doesn't get muggled. A few homeless live in this park. Crystal Warrior Publish Listing Happy caching!!! cazbol Found ***FTF*** Woot! Waited up for the caches to be posted as I saw that there where up to thirteen going out for the anniversary. It was well worth the wait. Ah there it is... Scrambled out to get this one as the night is defeinetly getting on. Drove out and on the way turned just in front of another car at one of the major intersections, I wondered now who could be out and about at this time of night? Would they follow me all the way to the GZ? Yes! Ah I'm going to meet another cacher tonight, YAY! But then no, <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt="Sad" title="Sad" /> I pulled of when the GPS said "arriving at destination" and they didn't... Oh well, all good. I traipsed my way in and spotted a likely spot and... yes, there it is. Woot! Then as I am signing the log what should I hear but a car alarm! Rushed back out but it was carrying (loud and clear) over the water. Thoroughly loved this anniversary cache and all the excietment. But I'm afraid that's it for me! Off to bed now. Thanks for a great hunt Crystal Warrior. SamWalkers Found Second behind Cazbol AGAIN. It is a bright clear night for a walk and lots of fun being away from too many eyes. Found at 1:54 and that starting to feel too late. Black Bunny Found A quick find on the way to work. Pleasant stroll to GZ and the log quickly to hand. TFTC GA2141 Jack and Jill... Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2141 Jack and Jill... Geocache Geocache Jack and Jill... Tealby Macarthur Australian Capital Territory Australia Traditional Regular 1.5 3 to fetch an anniversary geocache...

You are looking for a 2li sistema container.

I hope you enjoy the views & take care coming back down the hill - you don't want to end up like Jack & Jill!

(better yet - continue around to Humpty Dumpty & Little Miss Muffet - a much easier & more enjoyable descent if you do the loop in this direction)

 

]]> Crevice - extraction from above is easiest Oz Lurker Found An interesting Winter's morning walk this morning - that hill was a killer!!! We found this cache without too much trouble and enjoyed the views whilst signing the log. Then, the next question was, were we going to make it back to the car before the Heaven's opened or not??? The rain clouds looked like they might hold off, so it was on to Humpty Dumpty. TFTC BigON Found Ah, it only feels like a few weeks since I was up there last time, hang on it was only a few weeks..<img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_cool.gif" alt="Cool" title="Cool" /> Still good training value up the side of this one. Easy find at the end and a different view than the old one. My favorite version of this ryhme. Jack and Jill went up the hill, to 'fetch a pail of water'. Jill the dill, forgot the pill and here's their darling daughter. TFTC Tealby Tankengine Found It was a lovely sunny winters day, perfect for wenting up the hill! Albeit not to fetch a pail of water! Quite warm actually – I was in shorts and a T-shirt! Cache was found quickly, views were enjoyed, and the walk continued! Thanks Tealby. (Only my 8 1/3 anniversary for me!). SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 112+1899=2011 with Captain Tomato Ah Tealby – it is always a pleasure to walk along this ridge. Captain Tomato Found Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC. Always worthwhile coming up here for the great views. TFTC winglen Found I did walk up the hill - that slope is always certain to raise a sweat, and coming down in the dark I was nearly Jack and Jill, but kept my feet. It was definitely twilight when I found this and the views toward Queanbeyan and Jerra were lovely in a soft mauve light. Nice spot thanks Tealby. mtbikeroz Found Walked up from the usual spot for these caches around here, WOW, THANKS TEALBY (& Norkmeister) for the STF path tag prize. An unexpected pleasant little surprise. Admired the views for a while, then went off to find Humpty. Thanks. Tealby Publish Listing Happy Anniversary! My anniversary of geocaching is very close too - 11th May 2006 - albeit only 4 years for me. norkmeister Found Yippee! *FTF*. Wandered in from Humpty Dumpty past the old Ladles and Jellyspoons site. Second time up Isaacs Ridge caching, this time at night. Got to GZ at 11:04pm and found another well appointed cache. Left the PT for the 2TF as requested and wander wearily down to the car. Just managed to log this before midnight. Goodnight all. GA2149 Little Miss Muffet... Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2149 Little Miss Muffet... Geocache Geocache Little Miss Muffet... Tealby Isaacs Australian Capital Territory Australia Traditional Small 1.5 2.5 signing her logbook in peace.

3rd in a series of nursery rhyme caches - I hope you enjoy your time on Isaacs Ridge - and can also find a nice tuffet to sit & sign the logbook.

You are looking for a round 300ml sistema container - part of the prize I won at the first Oz Mega event at Wagga Wagga.

For those who haven't found the other two in the series, I suggest you start with Jack & Jill and make your way around to this cache. If you haven't yet done Tealby's Revenge (GC1HH1H) then it may be worth your while to have a crack at solving that one too.

]]> base of big gum tree BigON Found Cute, Low reception had me trailing some other searchers finding attempts, I soon got fed up with forking through the leaves in the grove and expanded the search area to the real GZ, easy find after that. Nice try, I hope yours lasts longer than mine at 'heart in your mouth'. Tankengine Found It was a lovely sunny Winters day for a walk, and this one was very nice! I love walking among the pine trees! The cache gave me a little scare at first, but nothing serious <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> loved the little lady bugs in there! Left them be, but added a ladybug pathtag. Thanks Tealby! SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 110+1899=2009 with Captain Tomato Ah Tealby – it is always a pleasure to walk along this ridge. Started from this end to do a “gentlemen’s” approach – we have enjoyed the other approach plenty of other times. Yep – scared the living daylights out of me. Captain Tomato Found Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC. SS did the honors with opening and signing the log. Just as well too - he he he. Oz Lurker Found Okay, so I like caching to be educational - but the question that vexed me as I wandered in the forest grabbing caches was "what the heck is a tuffet???". Strangely enough, this question had never crossed my mind before, but now I know which is a good thing!! Just in case you're wondering - it's a small piece of furniture for resting your feet on, like a hassock. Thanks Tealby, for the wander, the hunt and the cache. mtbikeroz Found A little stroll up the hill, a wander around, a cache found and signed. Nice little area of Eucalyptus trees in the pine trees. Thanks. Tealby Publish Listing A little late for the anniversary caches & a little smaller than my other two in the series, but I trust you enjoy it all the same... winglen Found Gosh, we haven't done a GCA cache for a while apart from a few trigs lately, nor have we been out for nightime *FTF* for a while either. Being 938m from home this was worth rushing dinner for, after I finally noticed these GCAs. Thanks Tealby, enjoyed the fun of coming up here at night, I will come back for the others - perhaps with dog tomorrow, and thanks for the pathtag. Left a Winglen Tower tag. (and left you a nearby GCA moveable at 35 22.532 140 06.878. GA2176 Watering the Horses Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2176 Watering the Horses Geocache Geocache Watering the Horses jusojara Cook Australian Capital Territory Australia Traditional Regular 2 2 This is a 1L container hidden just out of sight of a couple of very busy roads and a very busy intersection.  If you have a little bit of clearance on your Geomobile you will be able to park closer to this one but if you don't please be VERY careful parking and alighting from your Geomobile.  There is a little room to pull off the road but not much.

Once you are at GZ you may observe muggles passing by who are off to 'Water the Horses' (hopefully the four legged variety though) and you will have to be a little stealthy as they can appear from nowhere very quickly.  After finding the cache you can continue on to see where the muggles go but I wouldn't recommend driving past the two gates as you will most probably have to reverse back up to them as I did when undertaking a recce for this cache.

There are some pretty good views to the west from around here, you just need to get a spot with a clear view.  Not a bad spot to sit and watch the sun go down.

]]> Do you really need one? If you do e-mail me and I will send you one. BigON Found Small detour on a family outing today, I didn't have the beast with me or I would have been very tempted to use a nearby dirt 'track' up the slope for more direct access. Looks like there's a litterbug around with a task for twiggys and KFC, messy pillock. Easy find at the GZ after 2 foot driving up the slope, I like the looks of this area so much that I'll be back for some 4 wheel fun later. TFTC Oz Lurker Found A special effort for cache #700 - let's make it a GCA for a change!!! We looked around for one and in addition to this having wonderful views, being by a cacher whose other caches we have enjoyed, it was on the way out today!!! The cache was a little exposed at GZ, but all the rubbish probably drew the eye away <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt="Sad" title="Sad" /> Spent a bit of time covering the cache after we signed the log, then admired the views. Oz_Snow Found When we arrived at GZ, we were instantly disapointed to see large amounts of rubbish around GZ. Still, it was an easy find and there was no 'ute guy' to annoy us while we made our find. TFTC norkmeister Found Was heading out this way to collect a camper trailer I have just bought so swung past to collect this cache. No ute on the weekend, but I did find the steaming pile of dung from an indeterminate source (minus the steam). Tankengine Found Sadly there was a lot of litter around here... And smelly too... But otherwise a lovely little spot, well deserving of a cache! Thanks. Captain Tomato Found Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC. Had no troubles at GZ, appart from the fresh pile of ..... right beside the hide. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 104+1895=1999 with Captain Tomato Thanks jusojara for showing us how to get to this spot – nice views from around here. rbirtles Found A nice and easy find with no ute or dead animals albeit a horse had left a nice fresh pile of [blankety blank] very close by. Log book signed and I was soon on my way. I might have to come back here with a few rubbish bags to pick up all the bottles, cans and general rubbish. PTrick Found Yay!, our first cache. Guy in the ute was there again, also cache was surrounded by dead animal/s... not very nice <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt="Sad" title="Sad" /> albida33 Found This took two visits to get a slot without the dayglo green ute in attendance. I have seen it there again from the road a few more times since... Albida. mtbikeroz Found All very quiet today, no muggles. Must have missed the swaggie??????? Thanks. Bewilderbeest Found Well, the ute guy had to go eventually. Found the cache, signed etc and replaced it and was just returning to the car when someone drove past. It's suprisingly busy up here! Left a swaggie Thanks Bewilderbeest Other Nice views from here, but sorry I wasnt able to get a photo... jusojara Publish Listing SamWalkers Didn't find it FRUSTRATION! There is a muggle parked right on GZ in a ute. He has been there for hours. I think he is sleeping the night. First time I stopped he responded very strangely but thinking about it was I making any more sense to him? I think I am making him uptight driving past covering him in dust. I hope he likes an early call. Black Bunny Found A quick FTF on the way to work without the hinderances encountered by Samwalkers. Left a pathtag. SL TFTC SamWalkers Found Well... the bloke in the ute had to go for breakfast sometime. He was literally (not figuratively) parked 5 metres away. I couldn't think of a good ploy to get him to move or commence the search other than to keep driving past him. Another second to find at 8:50. mr_roo Found Second one on my caching cycle around the edge of belconnen. From my first I found another dirt track and followed it around the mountain until it came to one of those horse ways under the road. I got on the main road and rode the bike about 1 km. I got to the dirt road near gz and just kept on riding think I managered to get to 2 meters away from gz before getting off and making a easy find. TFTC And Happy Birthday!!!!!! Bewilderbeest Didn't find it The bloke in the ute was back at 4pm today. Well, a bloke in a late model green ute, I presume its the same one SamWalkers encountered. I loitered for about 15mins, but he showed no sign of moving and I had other things to get to. Should have stuck to my instinct and came out here at lunch time. Maybe tomorrow... M_Family Found The ute muggle was still around at 5:30pm today. As I had walked up from the main road I snuck in and got the cache without being seen:-) TFTC! GA2189 Old Red Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2189 Old Red Geocache Geocache Old Red cazbol Red Hill Australian Capital Territory Australia Traditional Regular 2.5 2.5 I almost called this cache the "retirement home" as there is a lovely stand of old gums tucked away on the side of the hill. They spoke of a time ages past and the serenity in the area at night reminded me of the slower pace of life not so long ago.

 

Old Red is a nice walk but it is on a bit of a slope so watch your balance. Also please be careful of the native grasses in the area.

 

Please be careful replace the cache as you found.

]]> Tucked right in the back. BigON Found It was a long way up and then in to retrieve this one, I'm glad nothing dropped on me or you would have heard the scream from there. Nice view and a great stand of trees. TFTC mr_roo Found Out today doing a 15km walk, yeah only a small one for mr roo. This was my third find for the day. Lovely old tree and hope it lasts a few years more. Sat down on the rock infront of the tree and enjoyed the view. Thanks for bringing me here TFTC Bewilderbeest Found This is a cool spot, I love the tree! And of course, always great views from here. It was a great afternoon for a ramble over Red Hill, this was my second of eight finds on Red Hill today. Thanks Cazbol, nice work. Tankengine Found Well - that was nice. A lovely walk on a lovely sunny Winters day! And - I don't think I have been to this corner of the hill before! Love the views, with a few remaining autumn colours in the suburb below! Thanks again cazbol! SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 109+1899=2008 with Captain Tomato Thanks cazbol – it was a very enjoyable walk across from the café and detouring via the Davidson Trig. Loved the Autumn colours below. Loved the character of the old trees. Hoping there is still room for nesting parrots in there as well – a number of blue feathers were there Captain Tomato Found Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC. A very nice walk across from the restaurant on the hill. TFTC and the views. Agent Basil Found The weather ? Mad dogs & Englishmen & Cachers! Had planned a really long walk this weekend but was thwarted by the persistent but welcome rain. Cabin fever set in, damn it, there's a cache on the hill behind me, that will do. So in the driving rain, I went for a lovely 2 hour walk, wearing all the right gear. Old Red it is, no chance for any muggles today. Signed log and continued by wander. The kiosk on top looked really welcoming but I left my wallet at home. Thanks for the excuse to get out and about. McPhan Found Headed down here for the last find of the morning with both the Winglen bits. Thanks guys, you always make caching more fun and enlightening - like the comment re:- Pooh Bear as you came upon me waist deep in......the hiding spot. Glad I've lost weight as if not it may well have been that story all over again. TFTC and the mature magenta. winglen Found Sorry McPhan - I looked around the big trunk and there is the back end of a McPhan half swallowed by the tree! Nice spot for a hide thanks, lovely views across the suburbs then back to the lookout and off for a coffee <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> mtbikeroz Found Walked over from O'Malley Overview, a pleasant walk there and back. Admired the autumn colours below, Thanks. cazbol Note Sorry everyone, didn't know I had to push these out. Hopefully this works and they go out for the anniversary... Enjoy the hunt! cazbol Publish Listing SamWalkers Found Nice camouflage. It had me going for a moment. By 2:00 this morning I was getting sick of signing second on the log books after Cazbol. But a *FTF* here more than makes up for it. It is a good strenuous walk to GZ and a great view to look at while getting my breath back. The GPS told me that "O'Malley Overview" was just about 1km away so I decided to walk over Mt Davidson rather than drive around. I hope I make it in time for another first. thanks GA2192 O'Malley Overview Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2192 O'Malley Overview Geocache Geocache O'Malley Overview cazbol Red Hill Australian Capital Territory Australia Traditional Regular 2.5 2 Come and watch O'Malley Grow!

I like to walk in this area and I can assure you that there's plenty of interesting architecture to be seen from this location. This is a nice spot, an easy distance from a maintainance road so there's no reason to bash the bush in the area. You can walk over from the Red Hill reserve parking or if you are careful pull of Hindamarsh drive onto the dirt area before a maintainance access about half way up the hill.

]]> Another lovely tree to stash a cache in... BigON Found Parked at the nearby gate, for this easy find. Good view over O'Malley and I could see where I was looking for another cache earlier in the day. Not many tracks near the GZ, but it was still an easy find. There was a muddy section on the nearby trail that showed all the traffic that passes, surprisingly there were tracks from somebody walking barefooted! TFTC mr_roo Found After coming off red hill I was exhausted but still wanted caching so, got to this gz and started my search for this one. I kicked it and found it quickly TFTC Tankengine Found Certainly a nice view over OMally. Nice easy find. The only tricky thing was getting back into the traffic! SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 113+1899=2012 with Captain Tomato Thanks cazbol – it is a good view over O’Malley – one of the new houses (or is it an embassy) going up there is monstrous, and ornate with columns. Captain Tomato Found Found with SecretSquirrel-BJC. Last find for the day (22 all up). Crikey there are some mansions being build over in O'Malley. Black Bunny Found A quick find in the light morning rain. SL TNLN winglen Found Parked in Garran, hopped over the equestrian grid and a short stroll along the firetrail to GZ. A not so fine view over the Hindmarsh rush hour traffic to all the ugliness that has subverted what used to be superb yellow box forested eastern O'Malley. But a nice big cache Cazbol, thanks, and still nice and dry after the rain. mtbikeroz Found Yep, lots of BIG mansions over there, Thanks. albida33 Found I you were heading for a few other caches this would be a good place to start. Albida M_Family Found I dropped in on this cache after dropping ms m_family to work. I took the dodgy Hindmarsh Drive parking approach. Fortunately the road was quiet. cazbol Publish Listing Sorry everyone, didn't know I had to push these out. Hopefully this works and they go out for the anniversary... Enjoy the hunt! cazbol Publish Listing SamWalkers Found Lots of 10th anniversary caches coming on line <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> The first 2 I look for I DNF <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt="Sad" title="Sad" /> Then I get 2 FTFs <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> The next couple of caches I have been beaten to by a few minutes <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt="Sad" title="Sad" /> two new anniversary caches pop up at morning tea time <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> And I get FTF <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" /> The smilies have it.

What a great idea. The ridge down to GZ from Davidson is a great walk... and I get a *FTF* Now I have to get back to the car. __________________ NEWS FLASH..... As I sit here logging this find up pops a new GC cache by Cazbol - and back on Red HIll. Are you trying to drive me mad? GA1843 Pre-Mega Pathtag Party Box Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1843 Pre-Mega Pathtag Party Box Geocache Geocache Pre-Mega Pathtag Party Box Tealby Russell Australian Capital Territory Australia Other Regular 1 1 This moveable cache has a few conditions attached to it before you can log a find, so please read the description thoroughly. I will try to make the instructions as simple as possible.

To Log a Find:
1. You must first add a pathtag to the cache - the contents of the cache should increase by at least one pathtag for every find log.
2. Only pathtags from pathtags.com may be added to the cache. Ideally the tags should be left in their original wrappers to provide some protection.
3. If possible, please include a "photo" of the pathtag/s you added to your find log - you can use the blueprint image from the pathtag site.
4. If you attend a subsequent event and add another tag you may log another find.
5. You are welcome to add a tag that you did not design - but please check to see that there are not already multiples of that tag in the cache - please don't add more than two copies of any one tag.

To Move the Cache:
1. The cache can only be moved from cacher to cacher & should never be hidden or left unattended.
2. The cache should not be held for more than one month - if you anticipate problems with this you can post a message in the GCA forums to likely find a willing recipient in your area.
3. You are also welcome to host a Pre-Mega Pathtag Party (PPP) event - see http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1829 as an example.

Swapping Pathtags:
1. Any pathtag in the box can be swapped out for a replacement tag.
2. No more than two copies of any one tag in the cache please.
3. Include details of your swaps in your log notes.

Background on this Cache:
The "Pre-Mega" refers to the 2nd Oz Mega Event - I'm confident that there will be one some time in the future!!
The accumulated pathtags will be used in some way at that event (I will need to consult with the organising committee on this) - it may be in support of a game, or perhaps the tags will be raffled off. Hopefully there will be a nice big collection to make something very worthwhile.  Suggestions are welcome - feel free to add them in your logs!

]]> Crystal Warrior Note Found at the event tonight. Swapped for a good luck path tag. Bewilderbeest Found Found at dinner with a great bunch of people...what a way to find a cache! What an amazing collection of pathtags. Thanks very much Tealby, I owe you one - literally. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 120+1915=2035 Finally I found a pathtag that I was pretty sure would not be in this cache, and am glad to be able to log this amazing box of tags as a find Thanks Tealby Tankengine Found Ah - finally caught up with this cache! Once again, just sitting the comfort of a warm house, and all of a sudden, there it was! Wow - that's a lot of pathtags! Could spend ages just looking, swapping, and listening to their stories! Thanks Tealby Dicksontwo Found Just catching up with logging resulting from the Great Oz Mega at Wagga. What a fantastic, hectic, time at PPP2 and we "found" this terrific idea too! Mrs added a pathtag and she is fairly certain it was our signature one, will try (limited abilities!) to upload image, so if incorrect please tell us (might have been our Oz Mega tag?). Candy Cane 101 Found Found this great cache at the pre Wagga pathtag swap event. Mr Bunny dropped a tag in for me. SL Thanks for the cache Tealby. Black Bunny Found Found at the pre Wagga Wagga event. Great idea Tealby and a great event to launch the cache. SL TFTC Tealby Note After the Oz Mega event at Wagga Wagga the cache is now up to 54 tags, so I've now added one of my new tags that arrived today to make it up to a "round" 55. I have also moved the cache to the location where it will next make a public appearance - at the next WWFM on 15th May. This event has not yet been published, so stay tuned for details... mtbikeroz Found Found, or given to me at the OZ MEGA WAGGA WAGGA event. Dropped off two of mine and took one out, Thanks Tealby. Interesting collection within AusTrackers Found What a great idea! - Added my tag and swapped another. Thanks for the (cache)party box. O319 Found Found as it was handed to me at the OZ Mega event, added a Pathtag and passed it on.... winglen Found While doing some swaps at the Oz Mega event, I had this very interesting box thrust into my hands by Tealby! What a cool idea, and very welcome because I had missed the earlier pathatg swap event. Left three Winglen tags, and swapped out a Titanic pathtag and something else (that I can't remember, sorry). Thanks Tealby. Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder Found What a fantastic idea! We found the cache at the pre-Mega Pathtag Event at Wagga Beach last night and are about to do some trading. Photos to follow. Thanks Tealby. youngoldfella Found Met all the criteria for this one. Was able to put pathtags in and swap some out to help begin my collection. I left a set of five of the gca Aboriginal Art pathtags in the cache. TFTC Varuna Found Left a Grinning Cat tag and took a Grin-cat=Smiley tag. Thanks for the opportunity for swapping around. Loved it. Fuddley Found Our first real look at Pathtags and we were able to find this box and drop a tag into it took nothing out. TFTC TheBlueFox Found Dropped my pathtag and signed the log. Thanks! murf Found Found this at the PPP2 Event. Very cool idea! I left 2 personal tags and took a "Muggled" tag. Thanks! Orange Angels Found Found at the PrePathtag Party. Added one of Oz Mega Pathtags. Thanks Just a Trifle Found Being new to pathtags, we weren't sure exactly what to do with this box when it was passed to us. We placed two of our pathtags inside. Hopefully, it will find its way to Queensland in the future so we can see the collection, and perhaps be able to do a swap. Thanks for organising the Party Box. Tealby Note After all of the finds at the PPP1 event there are now 32 pathtags in the box! <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> The cache will be available at the PPP2 event from 6.30pm on Thu - then on to the Mega event for the weekend. Feel free to ask me for the cache. If anyone is interested in taking the cache home with them at the end of the weekend please let me know. Preferably someone who'd like to either host their own PPP event, or will be attending another event in the near future. urch Found A good collection of pathtags are mounting up in this novel cache - added 5 of my tags, then then couldn't resist swapping a few more for a few of the local tags. Thanks for a fun cache, Tealby. Tealby Note Initial 6 pathtags added by Tealby: Tealby V4 Glitter, Tealby V3 Green, Tealby B-Team Good Luck, Tealby Event V2 Glitter, Tealby Pie & Pi Day and WWFM VI. mr_roo Found Found this cache at the event. Made a swap and put in two tags Thanks for the cache albida33 Found Whoo hoo, another fantastic cache. The idea of collection for the next big event is great. I put in one of mine and a GCC club Pathtag from the 'Battle Scars' coin and took a WWFM tag I have not managed to get from an actual event. Thanks so much. Albida. wing6rider Found On its way it goes. From here to where no one knows! Swapped out a Mr Roo PT for my w6r and left a w6r tag. Good luck! Dvixen Found Added a few of my personal and my Geo-What? Oz Mega tags. Took out Utmost Stealth Still Required! and May 2009 GCC Tag 1. Happy travelling, little box! Varuna Found Took 2 tags and put my 2 tags in. It was an excellent idea to swap the tags around. Thanks to Tealby. Everlasting Found Sorry I cant remember what did I left pathtags... anyway Thanks. Teaby and urch. Tealby Publish Listing The cache will be available at the posted coords at 6.30pm for the PPP1 Event.

]]> Look at my other caches - I think I am running a theme. BigON Found Nicely done, the winter grass is really growing well in this area all the way down to the cache. Found the cache easy as the paint seems to be breaking down and the structure is starting to show through, Birds?. Nicely cammoed regardless.Onto the grimbal? cache from here. Oz_Snow Found Found in the late afternoon, after finding 2 other caches by SamWalkers. Took the three coins to move on soon. TFTC Captain Tomato Found A nice little detour as I was doing gimbling. Enjoyed the walk across the fields. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 99+1881=1980 Thanks SamWalkers for another creative cache - very well done - and with an excellent view. M_Family Found A very impressive container! I wish I read the instructions about a gate, the barb wire is an effort to step over:-) wing6rider Found Found the red back spider (and the cache)! Dealt with spider for the relief of future cachers (and signed the log of the cache)! A nice opportunity to be out and about on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Bewilderbeest Found A bit of a blustery afternoon, but it was still great out here. I enjoyed the walk and the views, and also enjoyed the cache. So often people put effort into camoing micros, its good to see a bigger cache getting the same treatment. Im impressed by the craftsmanship, and by the cache as a whole, a very enjoyable experience. Took the swaggie - my first. Thanks very much SamWalkers, top work! Bewilderbeest Other This is the first GCA swaggie I have found. Not that surprising I guess, until recently I havent done many physical GCA caches. Thanks! Crystal Warrior Found A very impressive cache - nice work. I supervised while W6R despatched the redback spider before we signed the log fusilade Found Didn't see any termits, but there was a red back spider gaurding the bottom of the container. Left a swaggie. TFTC. fusilade Other rbirtles Found A nice afternoon stop on my way to a couple Mt Painter caches. Didn't realise I was at GZ and was still looking for the next tag when I realised I was staring at the cache. DOH!!!! Absolutely great hide - 4 thumbs up from me! TNLN Cheers and TFTC. Tankengine Found Got to love these SamWalkers containers! And again this one was fantastic! Love it! Nice views too. Fun little multi. TNLN, thanks SamWalkers! mtbikeroz Found Parked at the closest spot, now why would I use a gate if I can climb and jump etc etc. Just as I was about to climb, Black Bunny team passed by and stopped for a quick chat - 2nd time this morning. Then up and over, found tag - hmmmm, that's pretty small font, but OK. Then a pleasant walk, and another top hide by Sam Walkers - I like it. And a nice location too. Thanks. albida33 Found After venturing over a familiar gate I had a nice walk over to this one via WP1 with Mr_Roo. Wow the grass is good. It is almost a pity nothing is eating it. Albida mr_roo Found Out with Albida today and he had this one in the gps so off we went found the waypoint quickly and also gz TFTC SamWalkers Retract Listing Got the date wrong. Sorry Black Bunny for the early walk. SamWalkers Publish Listing Oh what the hell. I'll have to make a new one for the Anniversary. Black Bunny Found Ran into Samwalkers earlier today at ACE and we discussed this new cache. Unfortunately time got the better of me this morning and I had to delay this one. After work gathered Mrs Bunny and the Geohound and headed off to do this one and Kama. After gathering the required information at WP1 we headed off to GZ. As we approached I spied the evidence of previous visits to the site but fortunately it was only the cache owners as when we opened the log book it was pristine. Another *FTF* on a warmish Canberra day. Loved the cache container Samwalkers, you have excelled yourself again with this one. SL TFTC SamWalkers Publish Listing Happy Caching Anniversary.

A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ.
 
A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.
 
Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape. Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to get to.
 
These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.
 
To log a find on the Geocaching Australia website, you will need to include a picture of the trig point, along with your GPS receiver and (preferably) yourself. Long distance / telephoto type pictures are against the spirit of this cache. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.
 
The original collection of trig points has been sourced from Geoscience Australia and may contain inaccuracies.
 
Please respect local laws and regulations when searching for trig points. If you believe that a trig point is located on private property or in a dangerous location, you may archive the cache, by clicking on Log this Cache and place an "Archived" log on the Geocaching Australia website.
 
If you feel that you can add to the description of this trig point or adjust the difficulty / terrain ratings, please feel free to edit this cache and amend the information suitably. Vandalism of the cache description or other information will result in your account being terminated.
]]> At the top of the hill SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 98+1858=1956 Another fantastic trig with 360 degree views - well worth the walk <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp5352/1222174546.jpg" width=640 height=480> Captain Tomato Found Managed a near perfect day for this trig. A great spot overlooking 2 States/Territories. Tankengine Note According to ACTPLA, the land east of the Gudgenby river is "TAMS-VACANT (OTHER) Environment- Unleased" however, land west of the river is private property. See attached pic. So I started from the Angle Crossing road, North of the trig. mtbikeroz Note OK, That's fine, I can accept that. I must say though, the brand new fencing, complete with barbed wire is a bit disconcerting though. (AND I seem to recall some "NO TRESPASSING" signs on the Nth East section when I was there a few months ago. Illegal signs???? Will get up there sometime soon now I know its OK, Thanks. Tankengine Note Well, I had a good look along most of the length of the North section, and there were no signs at all. Also, from there, there is scrub, trees, and eventually some open ground. However, there is no sign of farm animals (eg sheep or cow pats etc), just kangaroos and rabbits! The bottom fence is in good condition, but other fences after that are falling down, and in disrepair. mtbikeroz Found Coooeeeee - THAT WAS FUN FUN FUN... I posted that note below, then went out the door for the hunt. Parked the car at the old 4WD trail, then walked up the trail and was at the Trig 30 mins later, a pleasant walk along LUSH green grass and a gentle climb. Fantastic views all around. History - Back in about 1995, the 4WD track up to here was open and accessible. I Got my old Mountain bike a fair way up here (not to the trig), and there was PLENTY of evidence of WILD parties, fires, burnt stuff and pretty sad living. It was GROSS. A couple of years later, the fence was constructed and rocks put in place and access was NO-GO. There weren't just fences/rocks/signs. Then along came geocaching in 2001, and way back in 2003 or so, I tried to find a legal way in, but no luck. Along came the GCA Trigs in 2009, again I tried because of the Trig I knew was up there, no luck again. Then TankEngine confirms it is public land, so up I go. Finally - Again. (And I don't have to go up again either!) Geocaching Australia Publish Listing Published Tankengine Found Wow - nice location. Fantastic views. Easy to get too, what more can one ask from a Trig! mtbikeroz Note The border is not what I dispute, I have tried to get there many times over the years, circumnavigated the whole hill, even spoke to one of the locals, it all seems private property?????? So, where did you park? How many brand spanking new fences did you cross?

Like a few others, it is of the cairn type, but alas, it seems to have fallen into disrepair. The cairn is still there, but the disc is gone... However, according to 2 maps, this is an official trig, and it is on top of a hill – Blundell Hill! There is also a meteorological station up here, and an old water tank. Interestingly, one dirt road up to here has been totally blocked off and set to return to nature!

No hills visible around here! In fact, this trig is as flat as it gets! Of course, the trade off is, you don’t get any views, oh well you can’t have everything! But it’s still a pleasant area, well worth a visit! Nice trig too! Trig is on TAMS unleased vacant land. (See pic), but all the land around it is private property, so don’t go wandering off...

 
A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ.
 
A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.
 
Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape. Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to get to.
 
These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.
 
To log a find on the Geocaching Australia website, you will need to include a picture of the trig point, along with your GPS receiver and (preferably) yourself. Long distance / telephoto type pictures are against the spirit of this cache. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.
 
The original collection of trig points has been sourced from Geoscience Australia and may contain inaccuracies.

]]> cantanga Found Another rare drive up trig and the last in my trig run for the day. darkpixie Found Yet another weird looking trig point... and this one isn't even on a tall hill! Climbed under some fences to get to it but was once again happy that we could drive pretty much right up to it! Last stop for the day and was inspired to visit the winery - one day. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> BigON Found It would be a bit boring if they were all this easy, but this one made for an interesting change. red tag Found Well, I'll be ! A second drive by trig for the day ! [:D] Thanks for the cache, GCA ! wing6rider Found We liked the idea of a "flat" trig! Found while shopping at the nearby nurseries. So busy today! Crystal Warrior Found A trig without a hill. That's my kind of trig Greenish Found Our first find after landing in Canberra on our way to the Oz Mega Event. I'd never seen a flat trig before, so that was cool. I will upload my photo once I get home. Cheesy pigs Found A nice easy trigpoint to start off our holiday. Bewilderbeest Found Well there has been plenty of comment about the flatness of the ground at this trig. But for me, perhaps because Im an inexperienced trig-pointer, the unusual thing was the actual structure. I havent seen one like this before. A couple of folks at the nearby wine tasting gave us strange looks, which I can understand. Id rather have been with them! But I had Little Buds with me, so it didnt seem appropriate. Oh well, another time... Oz Lurker Found Was in the vicinity after the Pie and Pi Day and decided to grab a couple of Trigs. rbirtles Found Hadn't actually logged a find on GC or GCA for a few days now and was starting to get the shakes. A quick drive from work at lunch time gave me the fix I needed. M_Family Found This is my first trig... I was driving back from a clients in Fyshwick, check my TomTom and thought I can do that! and I did! SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 86+1749=1835 with Captain Tomato I think the nearby property owner has "claimed" this for his own but I took heart with Tankengine's land use picture from TAMS.

An early morning find by McPhan and Winglen on a morning of collecting trig points. Boy were we all tired out after this one! Back to the car and onwards! Captain Tomato Found Final find for our day out. McPhan Found It was going to be a very warm day so we decided to get all of the really difficult one's out of the way early (where's the tongue out emoticon?). Had a friendly dog come and view our efforts. TFTC and the climb. mtbikeroz Found Nearby, so little problem popping around here. Strange, very strange indeed. albida33 Found The fence makes me think the locals don't know it is not theirs. Nice pole. I have seen several trigs on water towers in flat areas, so why not on the ground ? Albida jusojara Found Out today with Ju and mr_roo and he initially didn't believe me that there was a trig in here. I haven't seen one like this before, it certainly is good to be able to reach a trig without the walk for a change! mr_roo Found Well Id be, This one puts my suburban trig to shamne. Never seen a trig on flat ground and yes didnt believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. Geocaching Australia Publish Listing Published Tankengine Found What's this - a trig on flat land! Did it fall of the back of a truck? Oh well, looks like it's permanently fastned, and belongs here!

McKeahnie Trig is rather incredible! It is of the rock cairn type (similar to Gudgenby), but it is perched atop of a huge boulder!

]]> norkmeister Found A tough walk to a unique trig. I couldn't climb up there so who knows how they built it. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 93+1798=1891 with Captain Tomato and mtbikeroz A wonderful top spot to visit! An amazing rock cairn/trig. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp5306/5122010301.jpg" width=640 height=480> mtbikeroz Found A wonderful amazing Trig. Hiked up early in the morning with Secret-Squirrel-BJC and Captain Tomato on our way to the adjacent cache and laying some more further up. Nice views of Corin Dam from here too, top spot. Captain Tomato Found A bit out of the way but well worth the visit. winglen Found Found at sunset with McPhan and Sol de Lune after an enjoyable late afternoon walk to find the GC cache at the same location (for a FTF too!) Graeme Barrow's book says this trig was created in the late nineteenth century by surveyor R.C. Gordon and his party (September 1896). It is thought that ladders were constructed from saplings to access the boulder. Anyway, a top spot. McPhan Found And wait we did. Epic story that is recorded on the GC cache. Geocaching Australia Publish Listing Published Tankengine Found I think this has to be the most amazing trig I have come across! If anyone can explain how this was created, I would really like to know! Did they airlift the rocks one by one? Mind you, getting there was another story! Certainly the terrain is not always the easiest... But before you all rush out to get it... You might like to wait for a hopefully corresponding GC cache! TP5303 Bendora Trig Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/tp5303 Bendora Trig Geocache Geocache Bendora Trig Geocaching Australia Brindabella Australian Capital Territory Australia benchmark Other 1 4 OK – other than a triangle on a map (which has mislead me many times), I had no evidence that there might be a trig here... Not only that, but my trig hit-to-miss ratio has been dropping rapidly! After a number of fizzers, I didn’t hold out much hope. (Certainly couldn’t see anything in Google Earth). Well, my low expectations appeared to be for-filled, when, 10m from the supposed trig location, I didn’t see anything... Well, what a surprise when I hit GZ, and there, in the middle of nowhere, appears a trig! Gotta be lucky sometimes I guess!

Beats me how any surveyors are going to use this though!

]]> BigON Found I was tempted to drive the beast up to here but there are too many eye's from nearby roads, easy walk up to the fence and I managed to catch a horse and flying crow in the picture!. Bewilderbeest Found As usual, a trig point was harder for me than it should have been. I parked close by, made a short climb and could see the trig point not that far away. Alas there was a barbed wire fence between me and the trig. No access point was apparent, and as I walked along this fence in unusually good condition, I was starting to wonder how close one needed to be before one could claim the find. Thats when I finally spotted a place where I could get through the fence, and went all the way to the trig to claim the find. Yay! M_Family Found I picked up this trig on a lunch time outing from work (I work close by). Oz Lurker Found Hmmm, glad I looked at the logs before I decided to hop the fence... I came, I saw, I took a photo.. Job done. TFTC. winglen Found Oops - if there was a theme to this morning's outing with McPhan, it was 'don't read the cache listing'!! We did climb over the fence and went up to the trig, in the belief that all those not archived are on public land. We hesitated on the Duntroon Hill trig though, because it didn't feel right. Photo obviously taken at the foot of the trig, oh well. McPhan Found Time to clean out some trigs. Harder to find a way in than expected but at least it's a fairly flat one - and short. FR Gumby impersonation not appreciated by the Winglen. albida33 Found I walked up from Hindmarsh drive and collected my photo. Albida. mtbikeroz Found Passing by, walked nearby, saw Trig, held up GPS, pic taken. Geocaching Australia Other Responding to the Needs Archived. I see no need to archive it. If people are happy to claim this as a TP find, then so be it. GCA will not play rules umpire nor arbiter. You claim what you feel is legitimate. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 80+1731=1811 Well I drove by this morning and thought that I would log it. I personally think 100m distance for a photo isn't quite the ideal. Perhaps it is ok as long as this isn't the thin edge of the wedge of ridiculous. Perhaps Ms Trillan-N7's Sword of Damocles will fall on this trig like it did on the archived one at this location. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp5294/1351875001.jpg" width=640 height=480> SecretSquirrel-BJC Needs Archived start of a slippery slope - 50m, 80m, 150m, 200m?

A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ.
 
A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.
 
Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape. Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to get to.

]]> cantanga Found Lots of muggles around, but seeing there is no risk of these caches being muggled I wasn't to worried this time. Found the pole that everyone is taking photos and of where the GPS was pointing. Also attached a photo of a survey mark labelled Mt Ainslie which is similar to how the Black mountain trig is labelled, and it was only about 15m away from the random unmarked pole that is believed to be the trig. darkpixie Found Another non-trig point trig found today! Love that you can drive and park to within 100m of this one. BigON Found Lots of tourists around this one, a small price to pay for being able to park within 50 meters of a trig point. Great day for caching cool and dry. thefourbees Found It was our first day in Canberra on holidays so after settling in & filling the fridge, we headed off to find a high point to get our bearings. It was a beautiful sunny winter's afternoon. Captain Tomato Found The views late this afternoon were fantastic. The airport was aglow with golden sunshine. mr_roo Found Been up here anumber of times during my caching and before. Lovely views of canberra pineapplescouts Found We weren't quite sure what was what with this Trig point .. but we were up the top and it was a nice completion to an afternoon of trapsing around Mt Ainslie with the Geoboy. 7 of 8 for the day! norkmeister Found Well I had problems identifying what was the actual trig here. The steel post that my GPS had me at didn't seem too trig-like. It could be the signal tower and I found 2 nearby survey marks. So I took photos of all of em. Everlasting Found Beauty view from top.... Will put the photo - wait for another geocacher. Varuna Found Found it in the company of Everlasting, crank1, and Alchemy2. There are 2 or 3 different survey marks nearby. Mt Ainslie with survey mark is located at S35 16.202 E149 09.500 (see photo) 22m away from the original coords at Mt Ainslie Trig Marker?

Fantastic views from up here. We will upload photos when we get home to Perth. (Nice easy trig to get to) Oz Lurker Found Ahh, Mt Ainslie, I love coming up here during all seasons to look at the everchanging view of Canberra. Made the journey this evening for the Trig. Lot's of Muggles up here to watch the fireworks tonight. Bewilderbeest Found Well, this doesnt look like your typical trig. Fortunately that didnt prevent me from finding the right spot! Always good to come up here for the views. Cheers M_Family Found We visited this trig on a lovely Saturday afternoon caching on Mt Ainslie. Shifter Brains Found Took the family to the top for the view near sunset and found this cache in the process. rbirtles Found Been up here so many times but today was the day I came up here specificially with a camera for some shots of the "Trig Station". Also took photos of the various survey markers in the area. albida33 Found Not the best trig on earth, but it marks the top of this hill. Albida.

While waiting for the GC cache to be clear we were watching a muggle ride his bike off the edge just behind the beacon - an amazing sight to see him coming down the nearly vertical slope. mtbikeroz Found A cool wet morning, not a soul in sight.

]]> rbirtles Found A great day out caching with Tienhua. Walked up to this trig after doing the nearby cache where we stopped and enjoyed the views - wonderful. Couldn't ask for better company or place to go caching so 5 thumbs from me. Photos to follow soon. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 77+1728=1805 After making it to Rose Hill Trig and enjoying that wonderful place, I parked the bike and wandered over here following the best contours that didn't unnecessarily lose height. I felt uncomfortable wandering through rural leasehold land with cows and sheep but the Gigerline trig is actually in the same paddock as a herd of very curious youngish cows who encircled me and all watched me whilst I stopped for a drink Despite the ethical discomfort and concern, the walk had sensational views and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. At one point, I wanted to dress my wobble-head figurine in a nun's habit and make it run up the hills like Sound of Music. Photos taken and then it was off to the Guardpost. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp5289/6951874996.jpg" width=640 height=480> mtbikeroz Found Well, I have been up behind this Trig on my MTB on fire trails 1km to the East, but never actually wandered over here. This time however, I decided to walk up from the WIDE & WET Murrumbidgee after the rains, to see the Trig and the REDDISH rocks and erosions gullies I have often seen from the Tharwa road. A pleasant trek up and back in 90 mins. Great views even on a heavily overcast day. Geocaching Australia Publish Listing Published Tankengine Found Wow - that was impressive. - I started from the Tharwa sandwash, and soon crossed the currently not so mighty (very sad actually) Murrumbidgee.

]]> SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 73+1727=1800 Well I never planned this milestone but I am SO HAPPY for it to be this trig. After downhilling to a lower firetrail from the ridge track towards Bullen Range, I was able to then head off to this trig and eventually make it up the North West approach following firetrails and car tracks. WOW! GOBSMACKING VIEWS! Then I had a very exciting downhill ride along the South East Approach fire trail - wildest I have ever done. Then a very pleasant ride back to the car.

Earlier this morning, I rode out here to Collect Barnes hill trig. Then this afternoon, ANOTHER ONE out here. OK, 4pm, I took off on the MTB again from home, rode towards the trig. (I might mention, I used to ride around in here a LOT before the 2003 fires, wow, its changed a lot since then, so open). Rode towards a saddle NE of the summit, then turned around for the assault. Found some quite fresh 4WD tracks to follow, that was quite easy, except the last 100m - that was too steep. Got to the top - FANTASTIC views. I like that wind swept tree up there, COOL. Then I had a wow of a time riding around tracks and more tracks before I headed home. THAT WAS FUN FUN FUN. A 36km round trip from home, Coooeeeee. Was I there, or was I there!!!!

This Trig point is one of the older variety, 3 legs supporting a single wooden spire.

The walk up is lengthy, 4.5km from the gate at the water tank at the back of Banks, ACT.

During winter the peak often has snow, though it doesn't last normally for more than a few days.

From the top you can see Canberra and make out Telstra Tower, Lake Burley Griffin and the Captain Cook Jet and Parliament House.

On a clear day, from locations on the way up to this Trig, you can see Mt Bimberi to the West, Bowning Hill NW of Yass, and just great views. The trig location itself is obscured by trees.

NOTE - This Trig point is NOT the 3 yellow concrete posts Survey marker point on the edge of the track on the way up. This Trig point is actually the PEAK of the Rob Roy Range, and is about 500m Sth of this survey marker, and is about 200m off the track up there.

]]> winglen Found While in the general area for some GC caches, I was pretty determined to get this trig too. Well it would save me having to come back up that steep ascent behind Banks, which we now see has been appropriately sign posted as Steep Track! Anyway, driver's privelege allowed me to decide I was taking the extra walk, and the others could either join me or take a quick nap in the shade. Thanks McPhan and Zsazsa7 for keeping me company! And when I got here I realised I had already been here once before, but I can't give away the name of the cache nearby <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> McPhan Found Sitting eating lunch-ish on a nearby hilltop when Mrs W states that she still wants to head for this trig. Zsazsa7 pipes up with - "It's only 400 odd metres over there. So decision made we let Sol de Lune head off to Big Monk while we headed for.....the 3 concrete posts mentioned in the trig description. Neither Mrs W or I had this marked so we went the extra 500m or so to the trig. Interesting to see that the main post just sits there.

I didn't have a photo from that time and so it was an absolute pleasure to pop up here and check out the trig - followed by an absolutely awesome bike ride all the way to the very bottom of the Banks watertank hill track - breeze in my face, and some hairy moments on the last few hundred metres. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp5000/1781874999.jpg"> Tankengine Found Happened to be passing when I stumbled upon a trig!

Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1733 Behind the Berlin Wall! Geocache Geocache Behind the Berlin Wall! wing6rider & crystal warrior Symonston Australian Capital Territory Australia Virtual Other 1 1 The Berlin Wall came down on 9 November 1989.  The twentieth anniversary was commemorated recently.

Segments of the Berlin Wall can be found around the world - see photo.  This one at the Harmonie German Club, is reputedly the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Wall was a concrete barrier built by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) that completely enclosed the city of West Berlin, separating it from East Germany, including East Berlin.

During its existence from 1961 to 1989, the Wall stopped almost all emigration east to west Berlin.

When a revolutionary wave swept across the Eastern Bloc, the East German government announced on November 9, 1989, after several weeks of civil unrest, that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin.

Crowds of East Germans climbed onto and crossed the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere.  Over the next few weeks, parts of the wall were chipped away by a euphoric public and by souvenir hunters; industrial equipment was later used to remove almost all of the rest.  The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which was formally concluded on October 3, 1990.

It’s an interesting piece of history in Canberra and being a 'cache' is a good reason to go there!

Originally, we place a cache behind the wall but it disappeared.  On reflection rummaging in leaves and rubbish may not be the best idea so, we have changed to a virtual.

To log please include a photo of you or your team "at the wall".

After all, it's all about the experience of visiting a piece of history in an unusual spot.

Rummaged around in the obvious bush, but as I only turned up rubbish I didnt persist too long. Bewilderbeest Found Im glad that even though the container has gone, the cache remains in some form. Its definitely worth having a cache here. I had no idea this was in Canberra, I suspect very few know about it. Its great to see a piece of such an iconic structure.

I never knew that there was a piece of the wall here, and I found it to be thinner than I had imagined (for some reason). Seeing as I was barely six years old when the wall came down, I have no recollection of awareness of the wall existing in place, but it is good to see historical artifacts such as this around the place. TFTC. mtbikeroz Found Coooeeeee, a *FTF* at 8pm. WOW - I didn't know a part of the Berlin Wall was here in Canberra. Thanks for the excuse to see it. As I rocked up here, there were MANY cars parked around, and coming from within the Harmonie German club, was the sound of MUCH JOYOUS SINGING and MELODIES. ALL SUNG WITH GREAT GUSTO!!!!! Signed log, then off I went. Thanks for the really interesting find.

]]> Agent Basil Found 1 of 2 trigs today. Very magic views to the East AND west winglen Found Found on an early morning walk with McPhan, Sol de Lune and Norkmeister, while making a FTF dash on a nearby cache. Good views. Photo to follow. norkmeister Found Found while on the way to a FTF on Bullen's Back with McPhan, Sol De Lune and Winglen. mtbikeroz Found I was here in JULY 1997. How do I know that? Simple, the evidence I left in 7/97 at this very trig is still there!!!!!! And I was also here chasing TankEngines nearby GC cache a few years ago too. But, that is no excuse not to go for another MTB ride, so off I go on a nice cool Sunday morning, rode all the way up the track and trails (As I did in 7/97). Admired the early morning views yet again. TOP SPOT. Then, this is the part I liked, Cooeeeee, a fantastic ride back down the goat tracks, the dirt track, the bitumen road all the way down to the Murrumbidgee at Point Hut, and then a short bit more home. Loved it. Thanks. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 70+1722=1792 with Captain Tomato Discovered this trig when I found GC198B7 Barnes' Boulder in February 2008.

]]> mr_roo Found What a great trig. Been wanting to get out to this trig for a while but just no time. Always doing caching somewhere else. Today with jusojara we were out this way, but I didnt have it in my gps. Ja looked in his and found it so we were set. Got to gz to find this great looking trig. Happy it hasnt been damaged tho think it be hard using this one these days as the houses all around. Really enjoyed this one! jusojara Found I lived near her for a few years and never knew it was here until caching brought me here with mr_roo today. It is good to see it still here. rbirtles Found An early morning walk put me in the area and this trig was high on my list of wanted finds for the day. Glad to see that it survived the urban encroachment. M_Family Found The kids and I visited this trig while doing the mystery multi near by. mark_rattigan Found Ducked past this Trig Station this afternoon - have been here before while completing one of the local multis. Thanks winglen Found We remembered this trig from an earlier visit, and were glad in the heat that this one did not demand a long slog uphill. Found with Mr Winglen and McPhan, thanks. I like the history remembered here. Tankengine Found Phew - not as hard as some trigs! - used less than 2 litres of water! That has to be a good thing! McPhan Found I admit it that I was totally on my way to another cache when we arrived at this one - luckily I wasn't driving!. Been here before and agree with the Squirrel that this is a special trig. There are a few others like it around about, so as Molly would say, "Do yourself a favour..." TFTC and the showcase. albida33 Found This trig seems to have had quite a bit of attention of recent years. It is a very impressive cairn. Albida Geocaching Australia Publish Listing Published mtbikeroz Found Passing by chasing some GCA moveable caches so popped in here to view this old historic Trig Point. Fascinating history. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 69+1710=1779 Yes this is a very special trig, and I am very fond of it. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp5266/9821823092.jpg" width=480 height=640> GA1673 Team Firesafe Moving Cache Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1673 Team Firesafe Moving Cache Geocache Geocache Team Firesafe Moving Cache firesafe Rocky Crossing Australian Capital Territory Australia Other Small 1.5 1.5 This is our entry in the Moving Cache Race - http://www.cachinggames.com/mcr/.

The game runs from 01-Dec-2009 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2010 23:59:59.

The idea of the game is to see how far our cache can move within the game period.

The game software will keep an automatic track of your cache and will automatically calculate distances and stops as your cache moves around the country.

 

Logging this cache is easy:

First Step: Log your find with a 'Found' log (this will give you your smiley!)

Second Step: When you have moved the cache log a NEW 'Moved' log, adding the new co-ordinates and even a hint in the hint box if you wish. The hints box will update the main hint for the cache so that it will update in GSAK and the like.

 

Thanks for being part of the Game.

]]> mtbikeroz Note Seeing as the race is over, I thought I would take this cache for a Mountain Bike ride deep in the heart of Namadgi National Park for a fun time. It's now on a little used FIREtrail, with some pretty good views down the Naas river valley. Ebjoy the pristine wilderness .... for a while.... Cache under rock it is currently sitting on. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/ga1673/4292402299.jpg"> mtbikeroz Note Got it - Again - back to Canberra we go, he he he he roncarol1976 Found Found this one fairly quickly. removed the two containers, thought I saw more below and put my hand down further, sliced finger tip on what I think was broken glass. Trigg-A-Nomics Note Dropped this one off while grabbing my new pathtag album from the McKee Clan! Dazzatron Found Found this but wasn't very well hidden sitting next to the Knives and Forks. winterdragon Found Discovered on the table in front of me at lunchtime. Signed log, and rehid it half a meter to my left... TNLN - Thanks Firesafe! Trigg-A-Nomics Found Retrieved from the hands of the owner after it had done the rounds of the table. Thanks firesafe - hopefully the Nomics can travel as far as this one has! FeatherWaite Found Tracked it down at last - at the Towel Day Pub Lunch! Thanks firesafe. Margieh Found Was one of the lucky ones who caught it flying around the table at the Towel day pub lunch.... Thanks firesafe for the cache calumphing_four Note Taking along to the Pub Lunch as the owner is coming. calumphing_four Found Hmmm. So MtnLioness was going to leave it somewhere evil .... But I found it (and grabbed it) whilst she had it. It has been a moving cache for the last month travelling from home to work each work day with a quick trip to Victor as well. Will take along to the Towel Day Pub Lunch. mtbikeroz Note dropped MtnLioness Found Shall bring it home with me and place it somewhere evil!! Hee hee!! Bewilderbeest Note Not option B then? mtbikeroz Note No not option B, as owner hasn't responded. It will be A or C, most likely C at the Mega. firesafe Note Happy with any option that keeps it moving <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> mtbikeroz Found AHA, got the well travelled cache, now, what to do with it???? Option A - Hold on to it till end of May when I go to Adelaide. Option B - Move it asap. Option C - Give it to a cacher going to Adelaide in 3 wks. Hmmmmmm. M_Family Note Dropped this one off while doing another cache nearby. A great place to sit and unwind at lunchtime. M_Family Found picked up on the way back from a trip to Sydney to celebrate Canberra Day! Will move on soon... M_Family Note we are of to Sydney this w/e would you like this to either go north up the highway or come back south? firesafe Note It has been up to Sydney already so probably south - Thanks ruffasgutts4x4 Note Sorry bout that a minor misunderstanding on my part....now moved to a country location Cheers from ruffasgutts4x4 blossom* Note Dropped this at the event for Damo to get a few post-race moves in! ruffasgutts4x4 Found *Blossom* Dropped this at the Paperless Geocaching event, I picked it up! I'll find a new home for this cache just as soon as this rain ceases. Thanks for showing it us! blossom* Found This was a great spot with views over miles of bushland. Dropped in a Firewise badge from Strike-a-light abd a water psitol that would be handy to help put out a fire <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> No swaggie in there now, not sure where it's living at the moment. Great to pick this one up as I missed it during the race. norkmeister Note Due to 17m GPS accuracy while taking this reading I have put an extremely specific hint in below. mtbikeroz Didn't find it SCOURED the prickly tree AND the undergrowth AND the prickles on the ground for a good 30 mins. Could not find it. Would be keen on a clue as I basically "SWEPT" the area with a non-prickly broom/stick, NO CACHE FOUND. norkmeister Found Sorry mr oz. I picked this up this morning on the way to Sydney and have only just had time to log it. mtbikeroz Note No worries, happy travels. norkmeister Didn't find it Didn't find it either. No particular gum was at GZ, but there were several within 10m. Checked the base of each one. One had a particular pile of bark that looked promising and loose, but there was nothing there. Perhaps the last mover could come and check on this one. Crystal Warrior Note Popped it into one of my favorite spots under a big spiky tree. Car park nearby for easy pickup norkmeister Note Want me to move this on to Sydney? firesafe Note Sounds OK to me - set it free <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> SecretSquirrel-BJC Didn't find it Not obvious to me - looked like someone had been here before me Didn't look too hard because it might just have been moved already M_Family Found picked up on a trip to the mall (for school uniform!) Crystal Warrior Note To celebrate the last day of the Moveable Cache Race we are organising an impromptu afternoon tea and cache exchange at S35 18.280 E149 07.360. The idea is for all the Moveable Caches that are currently in the ACT to come together for a quick cup of tea and a cache ‘swap in swap out’. Meeting time is 3pm, today, 31 January 2010. The above location has easy access and carparking available. So grab a Moveable Cache and cup of tea and come on over. M_Family Note Come and get me for tea at 3pm. Black Bunny Found Will move to the creek Black Bunny Note Down wing6rider Note Dropped after attending moveable cache picnic today. Black Bunny Found Will move it westwards Black Bunny Note 2 for the price of one here. You can log the GC cache Wild animals here as well. M_Family Found Picked it up while doing the lunchtime public servant walk (well that was my cover). Will move on this afternoon to the inner north. M_Family Note Moved to our local park. Take the kids and enjoy the last week of the school holidays. norkmeister Note This is right next to where "Exhibition Building" is. norkmeister Found Cool another one of these I haven't had the chance to move yet and virtually delivered to my door. Well 250m away. Took geoboy for a walk to the park and picked this one up. Will place closer to work tomorrow. Tankengine Found Found it eventually - not where I expected it to be! All good... Tankengine Note Moved mark_rattigan Note Wanted to move this one one before I head out of town overnight, so have dropped it off close to home. tallpaulf Found This one was near geogirl's daycare, so we wandered up and got it when I picked her up. Will hide further south this evening. tallpaulf Note Dropped in a place familiar to followers of Roger the Rabbit, along with Post Haste (not a post box, or magnetic, but it is green). wing6rider Note Enjoying the views....... mark_rattigan Found Grabbed this one this afternoon - have been chasing it and finally caught up. Crystal Warrior Found Picked this up on a trip down south. Will place it out later today Crystal Warrior Note Took this home to meet its friends. They had a quick chat and then they all went their separate ways. wing6rider Found Worn out after a BIG party. I'll let it rest until tomorrow! mark_rattigan Didn't find it Raced out to grab a few moving caches that we hadn't yet been able to get our hands on. Couldn't find much in the way of hiding spots for six caches. Returned home empty handed to find more logs - obviously this was grabbed pretty much after it was hidden, and was long gone before we got there. albida33 Note Moved across town near a busy hill. Albida. albida33 Found Interesting spot for the cache, it completely eluded me at first. I swapped a Path Tag. Albida mr_roo Note Not much of a move by me, but moved to a very pretty spot. Thanks for sharing Black Bunny Note OK, after coffee, much coffee, this morning I have dropped this cache at a nice drive by location. Have fun with a new cache in the ACT wing6rider Note On my route home, so if it's there, it's mine! Usual spot? I hope....... jusojara Found Sorry W6R - we beat you there. wing6rider Note Bugger! Beaten by thaaat much chief! jusojara Note Dropped this one where I suspect there is a mad Roo hopping around looking for caches <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> mr_roo Found Oh gosh was just about to head to bed and saw this one was so so close. Cheers Jusojara. Ran up the end of my street and when I got to gz I had a short search and found it will move soon TFTC fluffyfish Found Found this moving cache as it was travelling with Black Bunny. Being new to geocaching and not spent much time on the GCA website, I didn't know these existed. Thanks for the introduction to this new type of cache. #124 TFTC Black Bunny Found Either we were on a mission to help re-cache Canberra, or we were totally insane - or both - the Black Bunny team drove to Wollongong after work to recover this one. Returning to Canberra after 0200, we need to be treated gently today. Also, on the way out of Wollongong we were accosted by fluffyfish, who SEEMED very friendly, but we were afraid he was going to stop us from taking the cache, so we let him sign the cache log, and told him all about moving caches and pathtags - and, in effect, bored him into letting us go. Actually, we were delighted to meet a Wollongong cacher, and we chatted for far too long before wending our weary way home. As soon as one of us can focus eyes, this cache will be placed somewhere in Canberra. TeamHurtle Note Didn't get to Canberra yet, so leaving in Sydney for some mileage... Left it in Picnic in the Gong. firesafe Note Caught up with Team Hurtle while seeing our kids off to Jamboree. He has picked up the cache from Shepherds Hill Reserve but cant log for a couple of days. It has been stocked up with firesafe pathtags and is going to be dropped off in Canberra. Waterlogged Note Quick Walk before the witching hour party last night to drop this one off. Happy New Year to all. TeamHurtle Found Taking on a trip to Canberra. .....edit.... Bypassed Canberra, but I see it got there anyways... Waterlogged Other Quick pick up while I move the moveable cache Waterlogged Other Dropped back into 'Team Firesafe Moving Cache' for a trip across the border. Also deposited a Icelandic 50 Kroner in for good luck Waterlogged Found Pick up Team Firesafe moving cache for the second time. Will place it somewhere local soon oldfrankos Note The cache has travelled back to Adelaide with us and is now nestled happily in a nice resting place waiting for another adventure. Happy travels Team Firesafe oldfrankos Found Found cache near trainyards in Port Augusta. We will take it to Adelaide with us and drop it off tomorrow. ACME_Caching Note Dropped near the train yards in Port Augusta. May you travel far. ACME_Caching Found Found in the bushes near "Who's Shout?" Heading North for Chrismas, so I'll take her on a Christmas day road trip. T4TC. ACME_Caching Other Discovered in the "Team Firesafe" moveable cache. No trades, just made a small donation. Will place back into the cache and move them together up North very soon. ACME_Caching Other Dropped back into the moveable cache and will be on it's way North soon. Yurt Note Well I was rushing to the airport and only had time to re-hide Whose Shout? so the moving cache should still be there. It's not in the same spot as Whose Shout anyway. someuser Note Ooops. I'm not familiar with these movable caches and didn't know you had to log for found and then again for moved. So It's now in the same bush as the cache whose shout. Yurt Note Well this is a fine pickle. I went to the coords and grabbed the cache I found, thinking I could move this one to Sydney as well. It was only when I read the note below I actually opened the cache (back in my hotel room) and discovered I'd picked up Whose Shout! Oops! You wouldn't expect this would you. I'm back to Sydney tomorrow night but I may get a chance to put it back - might be a bit muggly at the time I go though. Then I can grab the moving cache and leave this one. At least I can log this one as a find in GC! firesafe Note Yurt - you are lucky. It took me 3 times before I found Whose Shout. The moving cache is a round container about 5cm high with Geocaching Australia stickers on it. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> someuser Found Found this one while in the hills, decided to bring it to the home of beer in SA (In the same garden as Whose Shout GCYVXN) ma7:7hew Found Picked this one up to kick off a day of caching. Let's see where I end up. ma7:7hew Note Took this one for a drive into the hills and left it next to LTC:Q7. hgl Note Dropped off in it's new hidey hole hgl Found Since this was left only 300m from home, I had to pick it up! Will find a new home for it tomorrow, unfortunately I am not travelling until the 16th! firesafe Publish Listing Ready to go - lets see how far it goes .... firesafe Note Added some pathtags to the cache ...

]]> BigON Found I noticed a few things missing since the last time I was up here, a couple of tanks and a very large arial. I note that works down the hill are making access into the area a bit tricky. pjw Found Cruised up here this arvo. I wondered how this site got the name Reservoir Hill but when I looked at the link to the Google map it still shows the old water reservoirs. Question answered. mr_roo Found Was up here with jusojara doing two towers many months ago. I go past this trig all the time. Thought Id finally log it Oz Lurker Found CazBol and I were out grabbing caches, and I convinced her that yet another hill was worth climbing!!! The views were fantastic - well worth it at night I would think. M_Family Found M_Son and I visited Jamison Trash and Treasure this morning. On the way back M_Son says 'Can't we find a cache on the way back?'. This trig was the closest thing to a cache and I wasn't going to miss the opportunity! Bewilderbeest Found Didnt have much trouble getting to GZ, only had to lift my bike over 1 gate. It was a bit windy, causing the GPS to sway (see photo). But my main problem was that I couldnt find the log book, so I wrote my name on a nearby cow - I hope thats okay <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> Lucky I had a can of paint with me! Cheers Bewilderbeest Captain Tomato Found A very pleasant Autumn day to go for a bike ride around the Canberra suburbs. This trig topped off a great morning. rbirtles Found A quick pop up here on my way home from work. This area certainly bought back some memories as it was the place I first learned/trained to fly and hang glider back in the early 1990s. Unfortunately progress will eventually see most of the lower lands in this area go under housing. Tankengine Found Found along my way to some other caches! albida33 Found I was up here again today to check out the tower-less hill. Albida. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 60+1694=1754 I went to a novel cache nearby quite a while ago but never bothered to come and visit the trig - two objects were in my way - and back then I didn't always worry about trigs. So I really had to visit this area again and get a photo - I couldn't claim a retro find.... <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp5175/3031813856.jpg" width=640 height=480> Everlasting Found Another Trig at Bruce area Thanks. mtbikeroz Found Rode my bike up here on 22nd February 2007, chasing a nearby puzzle cache.

Access is via the old Cooma road, car park at S35º 25.853  E149º 07.965 beside the Monaro Hwy and the old Cooma rd. DO NOT drive through the gate on the old Cooma rd, even if open, it is regularly locked by the farmers who live up near the old railway station. The Trig point and the access to it is where the old Tuggeranong pine plantation used to be, access is a bit muddy at the moment. 

A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself. (From GCA Trig points summaries)
 

]]> MtnLioness Found Found as part of my race-to-500 scamper through the bush this arvo with GoblinDust & The Blue Fox. Tealby Found An unexpected bonus "find" just after visiting Overseer. Tankengine Found Nice walk thru the pine forest to get here! Nice views at the end. rbirtles Found Found this trig at the cache Overseer so this was a nice surprise as I have just started logging trig finds. As usual for a trig the views over southern Canberra and the Brindabellas were great and I can only dream what it would look like during a great sunset. Cheers! norkmeister Found Make that 15 caches in a day! Knocked this one off while doing the ONLINE series of caches plus other nearby ones. Started at 7:30, finished at 11:30. 13km and 15 caches! McPhan Found Got up here (of course) while doing BigON's series around here. A lot harder than the one on the Hay Plains. TFTC and the puff winglen Found Found with McPhan and RexTrex while walking around all the BigON caches nearby. A bonus one on a hot day, thanks. Everlasting Found Another beauty view from GZ.

Good views, day or night. Geocaching Australia Publish Listing Published mtbikeroz Found Oddly enough, I have been up here before on the MTB riding around in the now gone pine forests/plantation in the 1990's. Back here again chasing the nearby GC caches, noticed this Trig point isn't yet recorded in the GCA Trig points - well it is now, and I'm claiming a *FTF* too. Magnificent views of a beautifully GREEN melrose valley to the East and a green Tugg valley to the west too.

]]> rbirtles Found Found with Tienhua on a great day of caching. Top views over the southern Canberra suburbs and this trig is well worth stopping by for a visit. winglen Found A bonus find while up here with McPhan, Zsazsa7 and Sol de Lune for some GC caches. A brilliant day which wasn't too hot, and at the trig a strong breeze cooled us down! McPhan Found It's all relative as I thought it was pretty warm, but at least there was a breeze up here to help keep it a bit cooler. We wandered over here from Rob Roy to catch up with Sol de Lune (and twinkle toes Zsazsa7) whom we found gyrating on and around the trig. Top views as usual up this hill. TFTC and the climb SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 45+1670=1715 with Captain Tomato and FarmerFrentzen ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR VIEWS!!!!! <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp5112/4441771509.jpg" width=640 height=480> FarmerFrentzen Note I don't usually do GCA caches just to keep my numbers simple, however as evidenced in the photo in SecretSquirrel's log this one was found in the company of SS-BJC and Captain Tomato. Logging my visit as a note only so I don't have to play the numbers game. TFTC. Captain Tomato Found A fantastic spot to view the southern part of urban Canberra. Really enjoyed the visit. albida33 Found A hill climb for 5 caches and a trig.

Steep hill but well worth it TFTC BigON Found Well I'm real glad that I took some relevant pictures while I was up there yesterday, It's a substancial climb but the view is well worth it. A day when it's not raining and windy would be better of course. mtbikeroz Found I've been up to this very trig point many times every year since 1992 when I first scratched my initials in the white framework. Its been repainted recently, partly obscuring my initials. So, chasing the nearby GC cache nearby, I popped in here yet again. Thanks for the Trig point. I have pictures from today, AND 1992! Tankengine Found Well - I found it without realizing it... I wasn't going to go out and specifically hunt trigs, but I suppose if I found it anyway, there's no harm in logging!

Tealby Found Found this while in the area getting some info for the nearby multi - hope to get back again soon to finish that one off too. Good views as usual from this spot. TFTT. urch Found Out caching with Tealby when we found nearby GC cache then headed across to this trig point for further views, a photo, and another smiley. rbirtles Found While getting a nearby traditional GC cache I saw this trig station up on the hill. Didn't realise it was here but had to make the opportunity to visit it since I was so close. Nice views of the suburbs. Photos to be added tonight. M_Family Found Oh look I can see my cache from here! Found after golden hills. Thanks for the walk on a breezy afternoon. Tankengine Found Nice easy trig on the way to some other caches! winglen Found Found with McPhan as we collected a few nearby GC caches. As the temperature rose we got lazy, or economical with energy you might say, and relocated the car closer to the trig. McPhan Found The last time I was up here I had run into my brother walking his dog around the nearby access road. Today was much warmer and while Mrs Winglen removed grass spikes from her socks/shoes I made my way to the top (so she couldn't hear the panting). TFTC and the seedier side of this suburb. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 46+1683=1729 I know I have been to this hill twice before, but I could only vaguely/barely remember the trig, so I couldn't honestly post-log it.

In other words, an extreme caching day collecting 10 Trig caches, and one determined to be no go. Pics taken at all of them, some easy jaunts in suburbs, some a stiff climb in the rain/snow/gales, some with great views of a rain covered Canberra or suburbs. It was spectacular views from some of them seeing a rain soaked Canberra or nearby mountain ranges. All in all, a great day with three FTF’s too. A short walk up here - after I worked out where to park. Geocaching Australia Publish Listing Published SamWalkers Found Harcourt Trig Part of Canberra Nature Park, Harcourt Hill Nature Reserve The hard thing about this trig is parking the car.

Now that it is parked there are limited footpaths allowing you out of the suburb and behind the houses. There is a stile to cross the fence line at 35º 10.868 149º 05.034 Dogs not permitted.

]]> pjw Found A pleasant afternoon stroll up the hill from the highway. Amazing to see how quickly Crace is progressing. Nice spot. Bewilderbeest Found A little bit of a detour on the way home from work, and what do we have here? I thought Id better make the effort today, otherwise it was going to be a while before I got on the board this month. I had the typical muggle hassles you get with these trigs in town...I arrived at GZ at about the same time as one muggle. I had to wait a few moments for her to leave before I could grab the trig, then another turned up and I had to wait for him to go before I could replace it, all the while hoping he wouldnt notice what I had behind my back. It was all good in the end though, and some cool views from up here. Everlasting Found I was there before - date is 31 July 2006 - beauty view. Thanks. Tankengine Found Been up here before, but was passing today, so came up again! Very windy, looks like a storm brewing! rbirtles Found Found this Trig when finding the cache "One Shrub Hill". At the time I wasn't aware of logging Trig Stations and thus no photo but you can always confirm my log signature with the cache owner if need be. Great views - would be nice during a sunset or the evening watching the cars lights drive by down below.

Albida mtbikeroz Found I TOTALLY agree with Squirrels comments below, + I've added some of my own too. From now on, I will definitely be carrying a camera at every trig point I visit. I really support the introduction of TrigPoint "caches" because there are usually great views from such highpoints and it is particularly applicable in certain parks.

However, whether the thought police like it or not, I intend to claim every trig that I visited since starting caching at the end of 2001. As evidence, I will either post the photo if I have one, or reference the cache that I visited nearby, or name another cacher who can vouch for me being there.

Geocaching Australia Publish Listing Published SamWalkers Found Percival Trig I have wanted to walk this hill for a long time. The way it suddenly bursts out of the creek makes it look a lot tougher than it is. I parked the car at 35º 12.128' 149º 05.509', the other side of the Barton Highway, you should try the same. From the carpark follow the bike path under the bridges beside Ginnenderra Creek. Cross the creek at the little weir to keep your feet dry. Moving upstream a little you will find there is no fence and a trail all the way to the top. If you park sensibly this is a child friendly and dog friendly walk.

]]> BigON Found Zommed in and revisited this hill for the trig. Easy access as always, the road works nearby are going well, there've almost finished the bridge. M_Family Found The whole family started up the hill for the Trig. As you can see only two of us made it:-) The oldest child tripped over and broke her hand (that's what she says). The youngest doesn't like prickles and barely made it 50 meters. Geomum made it half way between them. The lights in the photo are the jail. We are not going to be able reduce ACT's carbon emissions as long as the run a jail that way... Oz Lurker Found Great views, lots of wildlife, no escaped prisioners.... Varuna Found Found it whilst hunting the cache nearby in the company of Everlasting and Alchemy2. Took a photo or two of the Trig Point. Thanks for the cache. AusTrackers Found Great views from up here - found the nearby cache as well. Alchemy2 Found Found it while hunting the cache nearby with Everlasting and Varuna. Took a photo of the Trig Point. Thanks for the cache. Bewilderbeest Found I was passing by and thought Id stop by for a quick find. Unlike last time I was here, I found the correct way in this time, using the step-through gate to the south of the trig. It wasnt the easy find I expected though, so many potential hiding places among the rocks here. But eventually I turned over the right one, and there it was!

A wedgetail was circling, which really topped things off. Also found a plant I couldn't identify, and I'm not even sure whether it is introduced or native so now I'm on a mission to find out. Everlasting Found Beauty view from GZ. Thanks. jusojara Found We grabbed the SS cache up here some time ago but as we were in the area today Ju, So and I headed up for the photo. The grass seeds were shocking this time of year - Ju spent the next week picking them out of her boots and socks. So is small enough and had a shoulder ride all the way so didn't have the same problem. Captain Tomato Found Came past here with SecretSquirrel-BJC on his cache maintenance run. Have been here ages ago and visited the trig, but as we were here again today it was appropriate to log the trig cache and post a photo. albida33 Found In the spirit of previously visited spots I was here on 2/8/08. Albida mtbikeroz Found I Agree with Squirrels comments on other Trig Point caches on GCA (+ a few extra comments of my own) - From now on, I will definitely be carrying a camera at every trig point I visit. I really support the introduction of TrigPoint "caches" because there are usually great views from such highpoints and it is particularly applicable in certain parks. When I first started caching, I often didn't carry a camera, (Digital cameras did not exist)and visited many trigs whilst caching. I also visited many trigs BEFORE geocaching even existed, when I was riding my Mountain bike/s in the 1990's, so all recent finds. However, whether the thought police like it or not, I intend to claim every trig that I visited since starting caching at the end of 2001. As evidence, I will either post the photo if I have one, or reference the cache that I visited nearby, or name another cacher who can vouch for me being there. I actually visited this trig point while doing a nearby cache, two caches actually. The one Squirrel mentions only about 4m from the trig point, and a multi by HumphreyBBear took me to the marker directly under this cache's trig point.

It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.

Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape. Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to get to.

These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.

]]> Tealby Found Grabbed a photo of this nearby trig when doing Tankengine's newish cache - it's been on my "to do" list for quite some time. M_Family Found Nice walk to the trig and I happily picked up the nearby GC. Captain Tomato Found Some great views of the Canberra suburbs BigON Found Found this while doing the nearby Isaacs Incline ver II cache, I didn't have a camera handy so left my mark on each of the legs, A 'two for', two for the price of one at least. Outstanding view as always with any of Canberra's hills. mark_rattigan Found Found while racing up the side of the hill in the faint hope of an FTF on Tankengine's new Isaacs Incline. Made it. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> Unfortunately, my phone doesn't take great pictures of Trigs in the dark. Tankengine Found Wow - was it ever eindy up here today! Nice views. Top spot. winglen Found Being almost locals we know these tracks, and made a nice afternoon walk of this trig, dragging Jasper along (or did he drag us along!) After about two inches of rain, we weren't troubled at all when more fell along the wall - getting pretty steamy inside the raincoats as we climbed the hills though! We made this into a big loop from Farrer to the trig and home by the towers south of the trig. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 61+1694=1755 I have never been up to this spot before and I really enjoyed the awesome views from a different perspective. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp4915/1151816202.jpg" width=640 height=480> albida33 Found In the spirit of previously visited spots I was here on 29/6/07. Albida mtbikeroz Found A 5ºC day, drizzle, gales up the top of many trig hills, horizontal rain up there too – or was it horizontal snow? In other words, an extreme caching day collecting 10 Trig caches, and one determined to be no go. Pics taken at all of them, some easy jaunts in suburbs, some a stiff climb in the rain/snow/gales, some with great views of a rain covered Canberra or suburbs. It was spectacular views from some of them seeing a rain soaked Canberra or nearby mountain ranges. All in all, a great day with three FTF’s too. SamWalkers Found Since I seem to have a big mouth about getting trig names right I should put my hand up and say I made the mistake of calling this one Sheaffe on the waymarking web site. I wrote "I got the trig name wrong. It should be called YA90. Sheaffe is a survey point (three yellow concrete guide posts) located north along the ridge at S35º 21.570 E149º 07.137. It is still worth the walk. Sheaffe is a more interesting name and relevant as a surveyor of the ACT. YA90 is named after a droid from Starwars who's scenes were all cut in the final editing." norkmeister Found Found on a Sunday morning caching trip.

]]> M_Family Found This was a family friendly trig! cantanga Found Saw this on a bike ride today so I stopped and climbed the hill. Great view of the valley and constructions going on in the area. Trig was fenced in though Captain Tomato Found Lot's of activity over near Cotter dam. norkmeister Found Not sure why I didn't log this the other day when I got the FTF on Cotter Construction, but being back here today I decided to log it. rbirtles Found While visiting a nearby cache by Tankengine I took the opportunity to visit this Trig Station I had been planning to do for a while now. The walk up here presents some nice views of the new dam wall which is just starting construction so I think I will be up here a few times in the future to watch the progress. Oz Lurker Found A nice drive up to this Trig point was a pleasant surprise - I thought I'd have to walk up the track <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> Great views from the top. winglen Found A bonus find for McPhan and Winglen - we were on our way out to Mt Franklin for two new GC caches, and as we went past we noticed the trig which wasn't showing clearly on the GPS. And then bagged it on the way back home. McPhan Found Noticed this one as we passed by on the way to a couple of FTFs. I wouldn't like to be the owner of the car that collected the gate. TFTC and the ding. albida33 Found It is only a shor walk to this one, and not too steep, so as I was passing nearby I decided to pay a visit. Albida Tankengine Found Found along with 6 other trigs this morning - Nice views over the dam - will be interesting to see in 2 years time! SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 51+1683=1734 I have driven past here many times and looked at this trig. It must have very bad in a previous life because it is incarcerated in a prison. Great views of Cotter Dam overflowing and down the river. <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp4918/6161786070.jpg" width=480 height=640> mtbikeroz Found A 5ºC day, drizzle, gales up the top of many trig hills, horizontal rain up there too – or was it horizontal snow?

It was spectacular views from some of them seeing a rain soaked Canberra or nearby mountain ranges. All in all, a great day with three FTF’s too. Can see the Cotter Dam from here. SamWalkers Found I always knew this as Tank Hill. There is a disturbing story connected to this place. In the late '70s or early 80's someone was taking shots at a white guide post on Tank Hill with a .22 - they missed the post and killed a picnicer down in the Cotter Reserve. Before the fires the foliage was so dense that you could not see what was over the rise and they had no idea until they were tracked down by the police.

]]> pjw Found A pleasant morning stroll after a big frost whilst waiting for my car to be serviced in Tuggeranong. cantanga Found 3rd time up this hill and I finally can log this cache. fehrgo Found Encountered this trig point while searching for something somewhat smaller nearby <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> I believe that this is my second ACT trig point, the first being back in August 2005. Captain Tomato Found Came past here on a trek across to another GC cache. Have visited here before but didn't have a camera back then. rbirtles Found Was up in this area with the main purpose of getting a clue to a Sol de Lune puzzle for a cache hidden up in Namadgi National Park. Cannot complain as I got some great views of Canberra, some exercise and a few additional caches in the immediate vicinity. angel75 Found Stopped off here on the way to find Fallen Puddle, Great view. winglen Found A slow post-Christmas-lunch walk up the hill between showers. Surprised a mob of wet kangaroos who looked at us as if to say "Wot the ??" I'm sure we were the only visitors for the day! Tankengine Found Stumbled upon this whilst on the way to another cache! Ha - me thinks I've been here before... Lots of times actually... Oh well, didn't take a photo then, so did this time! norkmeister Found Logged this one while caching on the Urambi Hills. mr_roo Found was here with norkmeister while caching in the area albida33 Found In the spirit of previously visited spots I was here on 19/12/08. Albida Everlasting Found Beauty view from Trig. Thanks. SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 21+1560=1581 with Captain Tomato From now on, I will definitely be carrying a camera at every trig point I visit.

]]> pjw Found Saw this one from a distance whilst returning from another trig. Very easy to access. cantanga Found Easiest one so far. Can practically drive to it. darkpixie Found Have helped Cantanga with a few caches before.I finally caved and got my own account... Not a bad view for my first logged cache! Bewilderbeest Found I was in the area for some caches and strolled over to log the trig point. Some trigs have been quite challenging but this one was relatively straight-forward - once I found the right hill! For some reason, this is one of the trigs that my GPS refuses to show, and on my initial approach the trig was obscured the trees. So I walked up the wrong peak, but spotted the trig from there. Fortunately its only a short, easy walk across... norkmeister Found Found while DNFing Oxley Rockhopping again winglen Found We strolled up here after Christmas lunch - I didn't think I ate that much but something was certainly weighing me down today! Tankengine Found Nice easy find. The rain had stopped, but grass was sopping wet anyway... mr_roo Found I was here on 16/8/09 with Albida Captain Tomato Found Third trig visited today. Have been here 4 or 5 times previously, so am well qualified to log this find. albida33 Found In the spirit of previously visited spots I was here on 16/8/09. Albida Everlasting Found Another beauty view from Trig. Thanks. mtbikeroz Found This would be a *FTF* riding home from a cache finding mission, spied this trig nearby, thought, why not, then rode/walked up the hill and just about had bike blown away - SUPER windy.

]]> jusojara Found Found this one while I was up here with Ju and the Geomutts on 19th May 2009. rbirtles Found Last area of the day before heading home. Walked up from the main road as I couldn't resist just doing one more as I drove past. Great views here over the Cotter District. Also retrieved the nearby GC.com cache before heading back down hill. Definitely worth coming here for the views. Photos to be uploaded tonight. Oz Lurker Found Another nice wander to climb one of the many hills around Canberra. GeoPup was as happy as a dog in mud, especially when she went to have a drink in the dam and the sides gave way . Soggy, muddy dog was NOT amused - but we were!!!! Agent Basil Found Well, I'll be, my first GCA log. Was here while doing the Brown Hill GC. This overlooks the Winslade property where I crewed a RFS heavy tanker during the 2003 fires - With the property owners, we did save the place.

The weather was quite biting & there had been some rain about, so I still had my hood on... Bewilderbeest Found Following in the footsteps of some more illustrious cachers, Im also logging my find on the trig point, for when I visited the peak to find 2 Leg Drive's Brown Hill (GC) cache.

]]> mr_roo Found Got to this trig point just before dark with jusojara. The sky was beautiful and the view was great to jusojara Found Grabbed this Trig today with mr_roo while we were up here for a nearby cache. The dark sky made a brilliant backdrop to the Trig in the evening sunlight. winglen Found Over this way to pick up MTrax's Stone Fortress, we decided to go south of the road as well to collect this trig which we've missed on other outings. Gorgeous sunny day - just perfect for climbing hills <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/pics/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> BigON Found Another visit to log this one, I also picked up another couple of caches while in the area. M_Family Found I visited this trig while picking up GC caches nearby. Despite seeing two people while walking up the hill and a car that didn't give me a lift - no one else was around to take my photo. So I took a photo of the trig, my hat & backpack & phone which is my caching device. Thanks for getting me out on a perfect day. Oz Lurker Found Been meaning to grab this one for a while.

Albida mtbikeroz Found Rode up here after work, a mere 1.5km from the regular bike path, but inthat short distance, 3 magpie attacks. The first two, were quite "pathetic", the third, after 3 solid whacks on the helmet and given I was pedalling very slowly up the steep hill, I decided that was enough. I'm surprised the bird hadn't broken its legs - it hit my helmet that hard. It was REALLY aggressive!!!!! So, I picked up a big stick and walked out of its domain. then back on bike and rode to the trig. A pleasant day, great views, nice. Went back a different way. SamWalkers Found Windy? It was windy enough that the dogs wanted to walk backward down to the car. By the time we got to the trig we had to tie them to a post to stop them blowing away. An easy lunch time jaunt though.

]]> BigON Found I made my way up the back of this slope to access the GZ. Nice view but no time for the nearby puzzle today. jusojara Found Found today with mr_roo while doing Spymaster Bootcamp. Luckily we decided not to walk to this Trig from a nearby cache as Spymaster brought us up here. M_Family Found I thought I was clever in doing 'spymaster bootcamp' guessing that it would pass this trig. This did occur I just couldn't find GZ! At least i could find the trig....

Everything was lovely and green and a good view over the southern suburbs. Worth visiting. winglen Found Up early to beat the heat - another day of 37 deg predicted. Found this with McPhan as he took his new pooch for a walk. McPhan Found Mrs Winglen was very understanding - thank you - and walked up here with the new dog and me. It was going to be a very warm day and starting it off with the bit up from Chapman was a great heart starter and had the sweat pouring of me in rivulets. Been up here a number of times but may wait until a cooler day to return again.

TFTC and ....(too many risqué bad puns with that name) Tankengine Found Chooo ooo *FTF* - well, first to find without claiming a previous visit! Found along with 6 other nearby trigs today! There was an orienteering WP here today - so I had some muggle issues, but I guess they weren't going to take the cache!

]]> BigON Found Parked nearby and walked up the hill again, second out of three times today, a bit tough getting up there again too many other hills today. TFTC mr_roo Found Out nearby doing some caching and thought id get a picture of this one. Great views I can see my work from here. Wasnt a hard walk up, and even past a tractor coming down the hill. SecretSquirrel-BJC Note Well I have been up here about 4 times before but this time I finally had a camera. You know that squirrels hang upside down?! <img src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/tp4969/3472288004.jpg"> Bewilderbeest Found Well as usual finding the trig point is never as straight forward for me as it should be. It was a nice afternoon for a walk as I headed up the track. But as I got towards the trig, I had to leave the track to make way for a car coming the other way! A few moments later I had to jump off the track again as another car came down the hill. What the? Anyway, eventually I was able to dodge the traffic and make it to the trig. Captain Tomato Found Finally managed to get a photo at this trig. Have been here so many times already. McPhan Found Well while I await the photo to come with Winglen Headquarters, I'll log the find. Headed over from the Lemon Squeezer (OMG I just thought of a blue joke to insert here but this IS a family site) and even managed to Cliff Young up one elongated ascent and then "sprint" (not my words) up the short end tail to the Trig. As always top views from an elevated area in Canberra. The highlight however is the photo of Mrs Winglen that should accompany their log. TFTC and the maroon mound. winglen Found We've been keen to get this one for a while and the opportunity to lag behind while McPhan went up the hill at a run, was too good to miss. As the smallest of the party I couldn't reach the chin-ups bar, hence my unhappy face! tallpaulf Note Walked past this trig with geoboy while walking from Deakin to Garran this afternoon. Did not realise a photo might be required to log it (I've never logged a trig point), so will claim the 'find' on another occasion. Great views from here! M_Family Found After dropping off the kids down South I just had to found a trig. I happened to have my bike on the back of the car so up we went! Great views! mark_rattigan Found Found after dusk, after riding my bicycle (for the first time in months), up the hill finding a few more caches through the evening. Unfortunately the photo isn't great, but you can see my silhouette, the trig's silhouette and the lights of the airport in the background. TFTT. norkmeister Found Found while caching in the area. Saw a wedge-tailed eagle being dive bombed by another, smaller, bird of prey. Tankengine Found Is it Davidson or Daverson? The foot says Daverson... Fantastic views! rbirtles Found Did a 3 caches up here at Red Hill during the lunch and the Trig station from further afield beckoned me to take the walk. A very easy walk up here and the views are well worth the effort to take to get up here. Attaching 2 images. Cheers and TFTT! albida33 Found In the spirit of previously visited spots I was here on 27/7/07. Albida Trillian-N7 Note @SamWalkers Thats the oddity of ACT trigs. There is actually Red Hill East Trig on the other side of the mountain and the peak of the restraunt roof is actualy coordinated for the purposes of survey work (as it is more visible than either trig).

I have also passed this trig point while chasing nearby caches - GC1DJNQ, GC15D80, and I have often ridden past this cache. No photos though. SamWalkers Found One of the funny things about trigs is the randomness of the naming. Tuggeranong Trig is on Oxley Hill but Tuggeranong Hill is adorned by TG84. I lived the first half of my life in the shadow of this hill always presuming it to be Red Hill BUT the topo maps the UBD and the ACT government data base show this as Davidson Trig on top of Davidson Hill. At 750 m it is taller than Red Hill too. My legs (and the dogs) noticed the big gap in between them. Just the same they will always be Red Hill.

In other words, an extreme caching day collecting 10 Trig caches, and one determined to be no go. Pics taken at all of them, some easy jaunts in suburbs, some a stiff climb in the rain/snow/gales, some with great views of a rain covered Canberra or suburbs. It was spectacular views from some of them seeing a rain soaked Canberra or nearby mountain ranges. All in all, a great day with threel FTF’s too.

Great views though and the coffee, custard tarts and cashew nuts tasted great after the effort. Wonderful views and a great morning with a thrilling bike ride back down. Tealby Found A group gathering at the top - we (Sol de lune, Fitzy, mtrax, RatPakLeavings, Everlasting & I) used the trig for shelter from the biting wind. Scored this virtual cache while getting Tennent's Tip - it's a long trek up, but there are now several other caches along the way to break up the journey. I'm not sure why this has been added as a GCA category when visits to trigs can be recorded on waymarking,com - oh well, I suppose it is another smilie for those who like to chase them! Everlasting Found When I arrived at the Gateway National Park, for a hike at Mt Tennant, I was a bit nervous but, at the same time excited, because I would meet new geocacher’s from the Canberra group and region. I’d like to thank, Tealby, Sol de Lune, Fitzy 1965 Ratpackleavings and Mtrax, who were so patient with me, as I walked at a pace of a turtle sometimes, but, I always made it. Mt tenant is a beautiful place, and a long walk to the top. I was so happy that I made this trek. On the way I saw a kangaroo with a joey which was so cute, and a variety of colourful, wild flowers. When we all arrived at Trig point, I felt so good, but, unfortunately it’s so cold up there! We stayed for lunch to enjoy the breath taking views of the beautiful countryside, I’d like to thank all the people involved for organising this hike. mtbikeroz Found I Agree with Squirrels comments as mentioned in other trig point caches in the ACT (+ a few extra comments of my own) - From now on, I will definitely be carrying a camera at every trig point I visit. I really support the introduction of TrigPoint "caches" because there are usually great views from such highpoints and it is particularly applicable in certain parks. When I first started caching, I often didn't carry a camera, (Digital cameras did not exist)and visited many trigs whilst caching. I also visited many trigs BEFORE geocaching even existed, when I was riding my Mountain bike/s in the 1990's, so all recent finds. However, whether the thought police like it or not, I intend to claim every trig that I visited since starting caching at the end of 2001. As evidence, I will either post the photo if I have one, or reference the cache that I visited nearby, or name another cacher who can vouch for me being there. I actually visited this "trig point" - its actually a fire tower, on well, many times in the 1990's, 31/12/1999 (when I rode up here NON-STOP), and 17/4/2006 chasing the cache "Tennents tip", and MANY times since - its a great ride!!!!!!

The walk up lengthy and you can get some great advice from the geocache that is not too far from here - The top ACT - Bimberi Wilderness (visit link)

During winter the peak is covered by snow, but even during summer you should come prepared for all types of weather.

From the top you can see Canberra and make out Telstra Tower, Lake Burley Griffin and the Captain Cook Jet and Parliament House. You haven't been hiking in the ACT until you've conquered this peak.
