Still nothing here and the CO hasn't been active for over 12 months. Needs archiving I think.
This one has me confused? After reading all the "easy find" logs I stopped by to grab it. Arrived at GZ and was surprised that I could not see anything out of the ordinary. Searched for quite a while well aware of the security cameras everywhere. Finally had to chuck it in. I'm either cache blind this arvo or it's gone?
Found it on a cache blitz with Hiltonclan had a great couple of hours talking cache.. After starting at the bremer river.. In the area and had to find it but it needs a bit of TLC log is or has been wet but TFTC..
We parked just down the street and did a lap around the enclosed area to locate GZ. It certainly is exposed here.
I looked and spotted the cache No effort required at all.
We were puzzled that this cache has been here for so long? It's not attached in any way, the gardener and staff inside must know it's here, and it is open to climactic changes including flooding. Bizarre!
Anyway, a quickie for us today. On we rolled...
TFTC Duck! Quack quack!

This really was a super easy find, although the log book is basically falling apart and damp. I am so surprised that this cache has lasted as long as it has, even more so considering the condition and the location.

This was not what I was expecting. A quick tour of the building got me to GZ for a nice quick find.
Parked at the Freedom Station and approached from the south as suggested. I don't think I was spotted. Spotted the Cache on the approach so it was a quick find and sign and I was off again to the next Cache. TFTC.
I parked up at the childcare centre and wandered down. I spotted the cameras, then the cache and figured that by the time they sent in the cavalry I would be long gone.
Cheers Duck!
Cheers Duck!
Found but with no pen i was left to take a photo which i can submit to the CO if required. Those cameras look pretty old - i wonder if they actually work or are just a deterrent... TFTC!
sneaky hide for all the world to walk by, but we stopped to sign the log. TFTC
this was a fun one.... we made our way to the GZ, trying to be all ninja like in the darkness, haha was working to well for us but we found the cache and yes.... the log is in need to replacing...
but all in all

parked at the petrol station for this one dashed across the mowed the paddock lined up the cache and quickly grabbed, signed and replaced. I am sure we looked a bit out of place the log is wet TFTC
Good easy find just had to watch muggle traffic and cameras. Log very wet. TFTC
Snuck up on this one from the south-west and we thing we avoided the cameras. We would have looked strange to other observers - hopefully mistaken for a school excursion with one businessman and 4 children in school uniform. Log is still wet. TFTC
Oh dear, there is just no cover at GZ, it's enough to make a cache hunter nervous. Happily it was a quick find so I was in and out in quick time. Log book is very wet and really needs to be replaced. TFTC Duck!
Parked nearby for this one and thankfully no pedestrian muggles about, but GZ was as open as could be. Thankfully the cache was a quick find beside the traffic. Couldn't add my name so replaced as found. Easy one, TFTC Duck!
Found this little cache quick and easy. Log is very wet but stamped it anyways TFTC Duck
Found this with Whint and Baddal... the ground was all sloshy so we had to be careful where to step. Gambler2000 spotted it quickly

Parked at the nearby servo and Gambler2000, D-Man2006 & I walked down to GZ, we came from the right direction and Gambler2000 found it pretty quickly... GPS was having troubles so I am glad it came to hand quickly Ground is very soggy and mushy here from all the rain

Found this one easily, ignored where the GPS wanted to swend us and zero'd in on the cache.
After many goes trying to find this cache finally found it in a unlikely obvious place
Happily, walked down the correct side to find the cache, so avoided looking toooo suspicious. Used logic even more than my GPSr to zero in on it, and have to report that the logbook is saturated. Peeled apart a few pages in the general vicinity of the last log and managed to sign with my super-duper "signs on wet paper" pen. TFTC, Duck! =^.^=
Walked in from the correct direction and stopped it from about 10m away.
About the only spot you could hide it I think

Managed to walk almost completely around the bunker and even started stomping through the clover before common sense prevailed and I found the cache in the form and place I expected (but still missed on one or two passes). Hope I gave the cameras a good workout. Thanks again!
Took us a while before Mr Bushies2 found it as our GPSr was playing havoc. Thanks Duck!
Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
Nice easy find once we calculated a route in to avoid detection.

Exposed place for a cache but luckily it was quite easy to grab and replace without being to obvious. TFTC
This was an interesting buidling. Thankfuly the cache was right where my GPSr was pointing. It was in good condition. Returned it between muggles. TFTC Duck! and Family
found with anddad. whoever put the cameras in missed this blind spot.
don't wear your new shoes here until the ground has had a bit of time to dry out

Found at 1130Hrs with bluegonz while trying to be very sneaky. Very wet under foot and slippery at present so take care.
Thanks Duck! and Family

Feeling very vulnerable with so many cameras around, cache was easily located and returned. Log book is starting to feel damp. No wonder with all that water passing by so close.
Quick find. Container is getting rusty but no issues with the log as yet. Thanks Duck!
Found nice and quickly while dodging the cameras.

We pulled up here just before school came out so I think we bet the muggles to this spot. Was able to find a park up a grass track behind the building.

Hi, I’m “stellbell 67” and I have been caching as a member of StormyKnights. My brother and I have decided to create our own log-in to reflect accurately how many caches each of us have found (not that we are competitive – hardly!)....
Therefore this entry has been added retrospectively.

Quick and easy find.

Nineth cache today, on a morning cache trek with The Sprakers. The geokids loved this one. TFTC
Took the advice as to approach from the servo so I wasn't seen by the cameras, saw the cache on the approach. TFTC.
Found at 0841 with Marg Marg found this one after we search the nearby structures. Cche OK and dry. TFTC.
Nice quick find at 0910. Came in from the service station side. Could see the CCTV cameras. TFTC
Another voyeur type cache- checked out the camera and spied the cache at the same time
Nice quick find ,we were in and out quickly and didn't stop to drink the water ,as the only water we could find was a muddy puddle
Not too much drama finding the cache. Logbook is nice and dry, but the surrounds left a heap of mud on my nice new shoes!

Out caching with The Marble today helping her reach her 800th cache milestone. A quick find by Mr DisSister as I was still zeroing in on GZ. TFTC
Found the right direction of approach between the field of view of two cameras. Cache in plain view and made a quick snatch to sign under the billboards.
Thanks Duck! & family.

18th find of 69 on a family geocaching day. Had to wait for roadwork muggles to move along
After I washed out at flushing this cache from its hiding place last visit, I returned today to see if I could find it this time
Of course, this being Queensland, the roadwork muggles were still there and no progress seems to have occured [^]
But this time they had parked their ute somewhere else
Through the mud I trudged toward GZ. It was morning tea time at the roadworks site, but nobody paid me any attention
Dodging the cameras on the other side of the fence, I snuck up on the cache
A quick sign of the logbook and I made my muddy escape
Tanks for the cache !!

The good thing about Sunday is that there are no workers here.Easy Find.. SL TNLN Silky Seekers.
Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 12:31pm. We have been here 3 times before and never been able to get anywhere near the cache so stayed in the car. Today it was lunch time so all the working muggles were in their cars or trailers having lunch and we could make a pounce for the cache. Easily found and returned. TFTC.
The 3rd for the day @ 12:44. Love the name of the cache, & all dem cameras... phew.
Another one where I parked right next to it and perfomed 'work' under the car whilst grabbing the cache. TFTC
Alas I couldn't approach the cache today, but I did get to drink in the ambience of the area from afar
Those roadworking muggles had parked their ute right next to GZ [:o]
I drowned my sorrows with a cheese and bacon roll from the nearby bakery instead

Quite a lonely spot when we visited, thankfully. Thanks for another fine cache.

Woo Hoo, half century and counting. Cache No 50 for the juniors and I.
Approached from the west but wanderred around to confuse any camera operator that may have been curious about the presence of a Gunnie and his crew. Spotted the cache before hitting GZ so quick autograph and out of there. No roadwork team on site today which was handy....
Cheers.

To avoid suspicion with the camera's watching, I walked nonchalantly up to the site whistling with my hands in my pockets until I thought I was not able to be seen - and there was the cache. I Quickly logged my find and then walked nonchalantly away from the site, whistling with my hands in my pockets. Thanks for the cache Duck! & family.
I returned here today to crab this one .
yesterday the workman were here so I drove passed .

Accompanied with Alchemy2. Nice easy found it. SL. Thanks Duck & Family for organising the cache and hunt.
Had another try at this one today, found it this time. We had much trouble finding it, but I don't know why, it was right in front of us. TFTC TFTH we have been having lots of fun trying to find all of Ducks cache's.[^]
Got there before the workers who look like they are laying water pipes. However I think the cameras got a good look at me. TFTC
Went to find it. Workers everywhere as retired to daughters house. Went back later after they had gone home and returning from another cache. A quick walk around and found with no trouble. TFTC TNLN Diesel48
ShadowKeepers have been off the geocaching path for a good while and didn't even get a chance to log caches that were found! We are now back on track and geocaching so am logging caches from the past.
