Found with Lisylou and the BennyBoppers kids. Very sneaky hide. Luckily we had the right tool!
Found with misssusan and junior bennyboppers, had us fooled for a bit, but we got it, we didn't know what we needed but we had it in our hot little hands, tftc.
Came prepared for this one.
You never know when you need extra goodies which help with this game.
Bristracker and I spied it at the same time and got down to work to extract the log.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks geckomaster62 All good with this cache

Pleasant morning for our geckomaster hunt. Lovely suburbs to visit. Great team to hunt with and Aussie Liahona to drive me from cache to cache. Perfect. And the caches were great to find. Thanks Geckomaster.
Out caching with Aussie Liahona, Bristracker and Team Benders after event this morning. It seems this is my 1200 cache and a very awesome cache too. We had the required tools to do the job. Nice place to visit also. TFTC
Out doing some early morning geocaching today with Karenhippo, Bristracker, Team Benders and myself. We had a great time searching for, and finding, some caches around the area here. This one was found quite quickly by Bristracker and Team Benders who spotted it at about the same time. Team Benders had the necessary to obtain the log book and we were all signing it before replacing it. It was found in excellent condition. Thanks for another great cache geckomaster62. [^][^]
Second attempt at this one. With more knowledge of geckomaster style, was able to nab it Excellent hide!! TFTC as always!!!
Came back a second time with more geo experience, AlliD nabbed this one again! Great hide. Thanks!
On our way to start the nearby Gecko trail and decided to stop in on this cache along the way.
Coordinates were spot on and we quickly found the cache - thats when we realised we should have read the cache notes completely
Luckily we had the appropriate gear in the car's tool kit and the log was subsequently discovered and signed. Number three for the day. Great hide, a favourite from us!

After visiting an injured friend this afternoon I decided to drive past and collect this one on my way home. Plenty of parking nearby, but the park was a little busy with walkers so I had to pick my time. However as I was wandering around a fellow came over and I asked if I was looking for something. I decided the truth was best and explained what I was doing, and he was delighted as he'd seen a few people doing the same thing right here! He was pretty interested [^] so perhaps there's a new convert[?] Anyway, the cache intrigued him (and I was glad I found it ) and I had the required tool so revealing the log book was easy. I made sure to return it just as I found it. TFTC, geckomaster62.
Thats not right... A couple seconds later had the log signed. TFTC!! Fav point from me.
Nice cache.
Forgot a tool the first time there but went and picked it up today.

I passed this earlier but a family was enjoying the sunny day. Fortunately I got a second chance. Hunted for quite a while til I looked at the 'item' and thought 'something doesn't look right there... Very good!
Fortunately had the right tool in my swag, and was able to get to the log. Took the peg, left a bowling pin.
Great one to end the day on!

Excellent hide. This one almost had the better of me and then I saw it. Had a tool in the car to open this one so I could sign the log book.
I think I am starting to get the hang of GM62 caches, although I do still have a long way to go. Love this one! When I grow up, I wanna be like GM62! Hiding in plain site! TFTC.
Looked with 5 other geocaahers... No luck. Thought it was going to be easy! Is it still there?
Last time this place was muggle central but not today. Cache was located in reasonable time but the T rating may need reconsiderstion.
My first cache, took me a while to find it as I had no idea what I was looking for.
Tis was really a quick find but I glad that I read about the need for a tool before leaving the car. Even more glad that I had randomly choose to put the right tool in the car for no reason yesterday.

This was our first cache and we were very excited and surprised! Not at all what we were expecting which has just made us more excited to join in! Signed logbook
Next on the list was this cache. We were lucky enough to meet other people finding the cache. After 1 minute, the other people found it. The only problem. Neither of us had a tool.
Great cache. Thankfully my car tyre kit had a tool to help. Number44 find for me, on my 44 birthday! First time running into another geocacher. TFTC
Final cache after walking gecko trail, DNF, looked high and low, found some old Velcro too but no cache
I was geocaching using my GPS with a load of Pocket Queries so I had no idea of the description or need for a tool of any type. I found the cache very quickly, I seem to be getting the hang of how you think. I was able to us the corner of my travel bug tag to access the logbook. After I replaced everything I went shopping to buy a tool as I plan to do the Gecko trail later, just in case.
Great cach. Thanks for the effort. Had no pen so will return another day to sign.
#3 on our way to 17 on a hot day!
Took a few minutes but Master HuntHiHuntLo has been tagging along with me long enough now to start coming in handy & he found it.
A great find and a favourite vote.

I had stopped caching before midday with 29
Had to drop the daughter off and drove straight past this one.
It was night time and raining and I was in the daughters car so didnt have any gear.
Found the cache very quickly which surprised me as it was a ripper and shouldnt have been that easy.
I finally got to the log book I was looking for a trackable to take to Victoria but wasnt there.
there was something in therewhich would have been handy earlier.
Number 30 in the bag.

That is a great hide. Luckily I had jasonic with hints and right tools! A fav point from me geckomaster TFTC
A quick find, screwdriver at the ready - log signed and back into place. Took Geocoins as they had a Canadian flag on it - just for me (being a canuck ) TFTC
Was on the dark side today, and with a couple of solid sneaky finds under my belt already, I couldn't resist stopping on my journey through Gecko country for a few smilies.
Of course, I searched for a while with no success. So, I then took the time to read the cache description. Went straight to it then. Funny that. Luckily, the work car had the correct tool.
Another great urban hide and a favorite from me. TFTC Geckomaster

Visiting from Canada, it was a great treat to find a cache here - and such a good one! During WW2, this was the location of a U.S. Navy Mobile Hostpital, and my Dad (deceased) was stationed here for a while. Spent some time and enjoyed my stay at this nice little park. THANKS FOR THE CACHE!
C.Ponies were doing a spot of caching on the 'wrong' side of town and found this wasn't far from where we were. Drove to loving park the lucky locals must enjoy and headed off for GZ with GeoKid1 reading description as I walked. 'Special Tool Requires', bugger! Well, we won't give up until we find it and know what sort of tools is required. After some searching we can across the cache.
Wow, I'm taking notes for when I start placing caches!
Yep, tool needed, luckily I had it in the car.
Extracted log, signed it, swapped swag and replaced cache to very clever spot. TFTC

The phone took me to the exact location, and knowing how the CO can deceive us with his hides, started to look for anomalies. Nothing caught my eye, so had to stop, think, and read a few old logs. One of them provided a clue on the physical aspect, and then it all came together on a new round of looks.
A nice one, GM62! Thanks!

Great hide! Took a few minutes, but then we noticed something unusual and BINGO! We had no tool but used a key because we are also McGyver. TFTC
Went out tonight with Abe Rosenstingel to strike a long awaited blow into geckomaster62 territory.
A quick grab, surprisingly. Fantastic job on this one. We had to improvise with the toolage, but did not damage anything in doing so.
TFTC, geckomaster62!!

Number 5 on a night of geko cache hunting with 5Meerkats. quickly spotted thanks to previous logs and getting to learn Geko's style. Some improvised tools were used and the log was signed.
I really like this cache, favourite point from me.

Found with stairman1 and geodog. We parked across the road and disturbed some neighbourhood dogs who didn't appreciate us being on the outside . We headed across the road and took a seat to assess the area. A muggle walking his dogs came past and after he passed we started our hunt. Stairman1 found the container but I wasn't convinced he had the right one . Sure enough after being a little inventive we had the container opened. Signed our names then placed it back. Another sneaky gm62 hide and a favourite from me. Thanks
Found with goldielover. We arrived at GZ and I spotted something that didn't look right. Goldielover wasn't too sure until I showed her. We didn't have a special tool so I improvised. It worked and I signed the log then closed it back up again. Thanks geckomaster62.
Found my second cache today and it's another geckomaster62... Clever
I read the info and did take a tool along, but it was the wrong one. Still, it worked and I signed the log and then sat in the park for a while. Coincidentally, my GC buddy Guddink called at the moment to see how I was going. Gave me pleasure to say, 'Hey, guess what I found?'
I'm a newbie at this sport and this wasn't difficult, after I stopped searching and started thinking. It posed a minor physical challenge but I won't elaborate

Another park in geckomaster territory! feathertop found this one very quickly, and bettyboo had some gear to get to the log - what did I do? Not much!
Nicely constructed hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 1228. Obviously this is another one that gets a favourite point from me. We strolled up the slope to the very nice structure and Feathertop made an exceedingly quick find here. I had read the cache notes and had brought the kit and caboodle with me so we were able to retrieve the log easily, sign ourselves in and return it to its spot quickly. A sneaky hide, but not for those in the know!! TFTC
On a Sunday afternoon this picnic shelter could so easily have been in use.
Luckily it was empty and the cache that no muggle will ever see was in our hands.
BettyBoo had a couple of useful tools at her disposal and in no time the log was signed.
Thanks

The cache is in good working order and ready to be found . No damage as incorrectly reported on previous log. cheers GM62
Hadn't read the notes before tackling this one so was totally unprepared. Once I'd spotted the cache I managed to extract the log using my keys. I am McGyver!
Another well constructed GM62 cache. Many thanks.

When we pulled up we new we had been here before. It must have been the previous version of this cache. We were on to the cache quite quickly and fortunately had a tool to extract.
really really scared about how quick and easy i found this
ok so i was checking out ebay this week

took elephant sticker

15th find of 33 found today whilst out on a most enjoyable day with the amazing Fasted69 and the delectable Barbbowman
Reasonably quick find for Barbbowman, although I am sure us males would have gotten there eventually. Had to go back tot he car as of course we brought no tools, but luckily I always have such tools in my bag of caching tricks (just not always on my back).
Thanks for placing this cache, geckomaster62. Found in good condition.
{Overall find #1308}

Searched around for a bit till Barb spotted this one. Love the thought that goes into GM62's hides. Of course, having the tools in our pocket at last cache, someone (not me), left them in the car. Back we go, extract log, sign and reassemble cache.
Another good hide and another favourite from me. TFTC

Out and about on this cloudy, rainy day which was nice as muggles were mostly inside. Lucky we had the park to ourselves because the GPSr and the hint had us searching another likely place until geohubby had a thought and next minuted the cache was in his hands. Nice cache container!

With Whint, Gambler and Net88 in the car, I parked near this one and although it was a perfect day out, there were no muggles (Yay Thursdays!). Onto the hunt and we all started looking about before I noticed something that did not line up. I gave it a wriggle and sure enough, it came free. But no logbook yet. Luckily I had a sufficient tool on my keys, so soon had a book being passed around. All done, put it back together and rehid as found. I love this type of hides, TFTC Geckomaster62
Hanging out today with Captain Terror, Net88 & Gambler2000... after having been here twice before only to find out it was missing I was keen to get this one marked off my map.... cache was quickly found this time and I was happy to have my name in the log at last thanks for replacing this one

Lets go caching because its a nice sunny day!
Are you bringing some lunch?
Vegemite sandwiches sound great.
Actually lets find the cache first.
Really could that be it?
A very obvious cache to the trained eye.
Captain Terror found it first.
Kind thanks for the cache.

An excellent hide! Despite picknicking muggles a few meters away, I was able to sneakily retrieve the cache after I'd spotted something not quite right and sit nearby to employ my tools. It wasn't long before we were able to release the logbook from its imprisonment and sign our names. Putting it back was harder, as the muggles were now looking directly at us, but then a plane flew overhead with very impressive vapour trails off its wingtips, not to mention quite a cloud of vapour boiling off the fuselage. This was sufficiently distracting for us to be able to replace the cache, admire the plane a little longer then depart happily. TFTC, geckomaster62. =^.^=

Spent quite a long time searching for this today.... nothing working, nothing looked out of place... nothing here, nothing there.... no clues.... darn!
We were keen to see what this one was all about.... the tools part has us curious... unfortunately today was not meant to be... group of muggle women having wine and cheese... not about to move on so it will have to be another day
We dropped by some time ago to find we didn't have the right tool with us, but today on a big Geckocache day, we made sure we were equipped. All good inside and out: TFTC team GM62!
The rain had just started, so we thought we might stop at this one for lunch. So there was no rush to find this one, which was quite fortunate as it ended up taking quite a while to spot this sneaky hide.
Very clever hide, Thanks GM62

This cache was one of the ones I grabbed while in Queensland for 40 hours. I arrived in at Queensland Airport and then grabbed a hire car for the next 40 days. I had time to do some caching in-between attending a sad family matter in Noosa. While in Queensland I had a chance to cache just the south side of Brisbane, Around Noosa and along the Sunshine Coast. I was pressed for time and chose to forgo sleep one night to maximize my time while in Queensland. The Majority of my caching was done at night and I could not believe the amount of toads in the state now. All in all I had a great time caching up here before heading back down south. Last team to do it was did it up way too tight. I had to go to the car to get a larger version of the needed tool. The pocket one did not cut it. TFTC
Thought we'd pick up this little one up after a big lunch at the local Leagues Club. An easy find and easily openable via a tool from geomums bag of caching tricks.
Lovely spot here.

This is the second time I have looked for this one. We are a bit wiser now with the way the caches are hidden, and we found it straight away this time. Had to borrow a tool from a local (Dave, nice bloke).
There is a similar one to this down at coolangatta.
Cashe was covered in ants, but otherwise in good nick.
Thanks

Yes, I thought the park was familiar. I last looked over it from a higher viewpoint. This cache was a lot easier to find then that other one. Had the entire LLJ cache kit on hand, so no bother getting to the log .
Found on a very successful hunting trip with flower1. Thanks for the cache and the great tour Geckomaster.
The last time we were hunting in this park there was a Mother's meeting going on at GZ for this cache but today, the coast was clear. While my caching buddy was still reading the description I caught sight of the anomilous feature and had the cache in my hot little hand. Hmmmm, now what? Back to the car for a ferret through my caching bag and the problem was solved. Clever hide!
