Quick pull over after we went to a local brewery this afternoon. On our way into the city to go to another brewery. I’m noticing a theme here
I got the hint straight away, impressive after a drink or two on a slow Friday afternoon.
Quick find. Clue collected.
TFTC, found with muggle Nicky.

Out for about three hours this afternoon to sort out the majority of this series. I had previously found two, found eleven today, plus two misses (including the final). A short time ago talking to the CO he commented how the series is doable on pushbike, so I decided to tackle it on my scooter. So after lunch, I started near Guns and followed a counter-clockwise circuit of the icons. This may well be the most detailed tour I've done of any suburb that I've never lived in. And it felt rather homely to me, given my Logan background also. I choose to not resemble any yobbo remarks! What a lovely way to spend the afternoon; perfect weather and enjoying the calm of a chilled-out Saturday.

I rode down Royal Parade and west towards this geocache. Upon arriving at GZ, it was all happening in there today. Lots of "a game" or maybe just a good walk ruined. Thankfully trees blocked view from them, and staring blindly at my phone meant some passing cars thought I just looked lost. A little prod and the geocache was in hand. All pretty easy really. And just left me reflecting for a few minutes if I can recall ever watching the entirety of a full game. Of any type of sport at all. I don't believe I have! Thanks for this geocache, Pprime (P`) Smile

The Golf club has a good variety of eatery on offer.

As we had a 3 hours' time gap between the celebration of Grannysmith1947's 10th geocaching anniversary and our eldest son's 45th Birthday, we decided today to tackle caches in the Banyo/Virginia area.

We found this cache and signed the log.

It’s been a long minute since we’ve gone caching but now with an additional newborn buddy joining us on our caching we are getting back into it. The hint was spot on and cache was easy to spot, clean and dry.

Monster Trucks at Boondall booked in to cheer up the turmoils. Great deliberation over whether to train it from home or drive closer, cache then train the last bit. Opted for option 2 after setting this series. I love having a purpose to my caching. A goal to aim for.

Well after the biggest little turmoil slept in until 9 , my goal of all was squashed pretty quickly. Oh well. We got a couple and have a big reason to come back up this way one day.

Quick find. The clue would be very confusing with eyes shut, but even miss11 got it.

We were heading home from dropping DFC to work training and decided to go back and find the rest of the Ban-Yobbo Series. So, we set out to find this one and turn it into a yellow smiley face finally after coming here previously and unfortunately having a blue face on our map.

Before leaving the geocar (track my adventures D78QWZ) we re-read the description, the hint, confirming the Difficulty and Terrain and the previous finder’s logs.

We set off to walk to the GZ. MummaBear66 was directing us where to go. So, we started our walk over to the GZ, discussing about where this geocache could possibly be located and if the geocache was still in there due to the pervious log and owner maintenance stating this cache has been muggles 4 times in the past. We got the GZ and started our search for this cache.

Thankfully after a decent search in the wrong place we worked out we were in the incorrect place and regrouped. Shortly after we had the cache in hand, and we added our ink marks to the geocache log and replaced the geocache exactly as we found it. Then we headed back to the Geocar and JLK to start writing this log.

FINALLY FOUND THIS CACHE!!!!

Thanks for the P Prime (P’) for the placement of this awesome cache series.
Thanks for the Hunt.

Headed down to Virginia today to get a new grip for my golf driver, so it would be rude not to pick up a few caches in the area.

I started looking around the trees (when there was a gap in the traffic heading in/out of the course) but soon spotted a more likely hidey place.

Thanks!!

A fast find on a windy, overcast afternoon.

A bike rider stopped by this one and I thought he was on the hunt too, but he quickly vacated and the cache was found. Signed in the little bit of blank log and replaced. Not too many people golfing this afternoon.

TFTC!

Awwwwww - loved coming here for this one. This is where I got married! ️
Wait - does that make me a Yobbo? I’ll wear it
The golfers were around in their buggies so I tried to act like I was interested (very difficult...)
Made the find and kept moving. Couldn’t find a clue in this one, but I was “concentrating” on golfers so...
TFTC, Pprime!

Came across this interesting and educational series on the way to Brisbane today. We are quite familiar with the yobbo species but not particularly the Banyo variety. We had some time to kill before meeting our daughter for lunch so we just had time for a few caches but will be back to complete the very entertaining series.
It was lunch time so there was a lot of traffic coming in to the golf club and golfers at the hole just over the fence, so we had to use some yobbo stealth. Once at gz, it was a relatively quick find in a common location.

No, what, huh? Pre coffee pre work morning cache session currently 1/3. Gave up when someone asked me if I was ok.
 
03-Dec-19
Finished work out by the airport today, so whilst driving past I thought I’d grab some caches on the way through.

There’s still a few I needed to grab from the Ban-Yobbo series so I grabbed a few of them and any other caches in between also.

That took me longer then it should have.

Find #399 - TFTC
 
26-Nov-19
12 days short of a year and i walked straight up to the hide. What i difference a year makes compared to the month of experience i had back then. I even messaged the CO and he basically told me where it was, like the hint wasn’t good enough??? Cloth-eyed. That’s all the clues. Will grab the final this afternoon after picking up one for the DT matrix. TFTC
