We needed to go to Mount Tamborine today to collect a junior from camp so we decided to take the opportunity to cache our way there. After finding our target cache, we stopped to collect anything else we passed along the way. I dont think I wouldve found this without years of caching experience but today I walked straight up to it. A neat hide. Thanks Aussie Liahona
Headed down south east qld with RoddyC and Hatzofff to do a message then find a few caches. Many years ago I used to come down here to Trip the Light Fantastic at the Gilston Hall. Beautiful scenery while driving around this area. Found a park near GZ and it didn't take long to have the cache in hand and signing the log. This sure was a clever hide. Cache replaced as found. TFTC
Enjoyed our day out caching with RoddyC, hatzofff, echocage1Neat hide, we looked there before, TFTC Aussie Liahona, FP awarded !!!
Out today with hatzofff, RoddyC and poolpool. It's much cooler today adding to our enjoyment of the day.Thanks to COs for putting out caches for us to find. This was a devil of a thing to get out as someone had put it back the wrong way round. TFTC
Out to do some caching today seeing it is much cooler weather. Around south of Nerang. With hatzofff, echocage1, and our interstate friends, poolpoool. Interesting hide.Log signed and cache replaced as found at 5:04 PM on November 18, 2023. TFTC, Aussie Liahona adopted from creative Nottinghamers.
A day on the coast but chose inland. Caching with RoddyC echocage1 poolpool.I looked there before TFTCache Aussie Liahona adopted from creative Nottinghamers
Started looking around the wrong area to begin with, as MrMagoo72 and I were being stealthy with some muggles parked up nearby. Once they moved off, we swung into serious searching mode. When I stood up, something caught my eye and when I moved it I realised I had found where the container was hidden. But then I had to extract the container - luckily I had brought some TOTT with me - I was worried I would push the container in too far, but I managed to get it out and then had to use the TOTT again to extract the log from the container. What a great set up - very sneakily hidden. TFTC.
Was a little off from the coordinates but managed to find it, nice little find
Took a while for the phone to settle but once it did, an easy find. Awesome hiding spot and very cute container.

I saw an ad from someone selling a new garmin, and as I was heading to the coast, hmm maybe. I got my new garmin and as I parked up to see what caches were in the area, I parked right next to this one. a look around and I found nothing, hmm, ok some research and then a second look. ahh hang on what it I search over there and sure enough it was nicely hidden away.
Another great hide, a favourite point for this one. I signed the log and replaced as found. I then headed home from the long day. Thank you for the hide.

Wagging work wet Wednesday was upon us, and SaintsMadHouse and I had some serious goals to kick today… once I had finished at acupuncture that is.
The plan had been meticulously laid out by SaintsMadHouse for a productive and successful outing.
Found this nice little well-executed hide easily.
Thanks for the cache Nottinghamers, and for keeping it going Aussie Liahona.

I absolutely love this hide, I thought I was at the “obvious spot” for a while but wow! I unfortunately lost a pair of tweezers here so finders keepers to whoever finds it hah

Spent more time trying to get the log out once I had it in hand. All ok TFTC
Our second find of today,
Upon arrival I left Frannymfrog in the dust (in the car) as I looked for the cache! Frannymfrog arrived just as I was about to start a proper search. THERE IT IS! A very sneaky hide indeed!
TFTC! Found with Frannymfrog logged as 3K!

Out and about with potatochips101 visiting friends on the coast today, and thought we would grab a few caches to round out the day. Potatochips101 was too quick - out of the geomobile and cache found in next to no time. Quick easy find - TFTC. There is lots of traffic on the road, but easy enough to shield yourself behind the geomobile. Found with potatochips101 logged as 3K.
This took waaaay longer than I care to admit... even being aware of some of the CO’s work... it was a single word in a previous finders log that had me change my search area... tftc...
Took a few minutes for common sense to kick in at this one. Actually took me longer to get the log out to sign lol. TFTC.
down the coast for wrestling so what else do u do before the show starts ... cache
bubba found this in about 2 seconds ... sometimes u are just lucky
i didn't even get to look lol

This was too hard for us today, any tips for future catching are very much appreciated!
Almost gave up on this one, but found it in the end. Sneaky hide. The tips helped in the end. Tftc

Out with Bunadoorian to pick a few caches in the area - find 3 for today. Found the cache and the upset the resident gecko! Very clever hide - enjoyed this one a lot more than the last DNF !! TFTC Nottinghamers
It's lucky that I have created a couple of caches quite similar. So I was quick to recognize it. I could have done without the heart workout when I evicted a gecko from it's resting place while returning the cache. A good hide and in good condition. TFTC.
Wow we were hot and bothered and ready to give up when geo grandson had a brain wave TFTC
Found with The X-Trailers yesterday when caching before the drudge of food shopping .TFTC
After searching in obvious lookedvout and up and spied the very well camoed cache
Fav point today
Found with Earthlight

Looking, looking... knowing this was a traditional hide, hid untraditionally. So when we noticed something worth further inspection we were not surprised to have found the prize. This one didn't take too long. We think your signature move is that it's all in the detail & for this reason we give this cache a fp. We put our signature (initials) on the log & returned the cache to its perfect home. Tftc Nottinghamers xo
Tricky hide. Not sure if I would have found this one without reading previous logs.
Thanks
Thanks
Thankfully I had ODST 501 with me as I was looking in the wrong spot then after sitting down for a sec, he spots something and there was the cache. Great spot, signed and returned. TFTC.
Another Nottinghamer cache crossed off! Always clever and in the detail. A favourite from us.TFTC
This was a really cool one.. looked in all the wrong spots but after the re-read i worked it out quickly.. Tftc
In this suburb today and thought I'd try this one and it seems I did what the previous finder did and search in all the wrong areas first. Just about to leave empty-handed when I spied something that seemed worth investigating and bingo, the prize was found. Thanks Nottinghamers for yet another nice neat hide
Oh my i believe i went about this one all wrong and took way longer than necessary.
I apent way too long inspecting the trees and feeling exposed to neighbouring muggles.
When i stopped to think things over, i decided that i should try looking where the neighbours wouldbt see me so easily and this seemed to do the trick. Within a minute I spied what turned out to be the camo.
What a relief.. maybe i am getting used to the hides by this CO now, but I still run into strife occasionally. Good to get a smiley for todays calendar here.
Cheers nottinghamers.

Found on the 2nd attempt. I was admiring the sunset over the hills and checking out possible hiding spots when it suddenly started chucking it down so I had to retreat to the car and wait. It eased off a bit so I had another look and spied its clever hiding spot.
TFTC!

Was searching around GZ in the dark for quiet a while before we happened to look down and spot the bison tube on the ground, unsure where it came from. Put it where we thought it belonged. If CO can't find cache, please message us and we will let you know where we put it.
Thanks to Amisimzo for the note. Have checked and all is well. Curious as to how it 'escaped' in the first place??
I seem to be out in Nottinghamers territory again today.
Another nice hide.
Is the hint the same as the one for River Tree Park. Pity the hide isn't the same

quick find mainly because last finder had not covered up, never mind after signing all was covered as should have been. TFTC
Another clever hide - luckily a strong arm was not required to retrieve this cache. Thanks.
Out doing some caches before going home to Brisbane. A quick find and then on our way. TFTC
Out caching with Cantcacheus2014 today for a few more smileys. Nice quick, easy and creative find! Tftc!

A few hours to spare so we decided to chase up a few smilies around the Nerang area.
A nice quick find here thanks to great co-ords.
Signed & replaced as found.
Took a little time out to feed an inquisitive pair of magpies.
I don't know why people don't like them, they have the most melodious voices & I have never, in almost 61 years, been attacked by one.
Maybe they can tell who's friendly & who isn't?

Up from Canberra and found with Rapidlywild on a two week geomission around the Gold Coast and, of course, for the MEGA
The Mega had come to a close and the fun had finished so we were back on the Gold Coast. Our energy was low so we decided we'd have a cruisy day of caching around the area.
Swung by this one and RW came up with the find here-although the ants are back
Thanks for another tricky one, Nottinghamers

Back on the Gold Coast today to continue caching. The holiday is starting to wind down in preperation for the long drive back to Canberra.
Today we found alot of caches from Nottinghamers who I must admit have some very creative hides We had a wonderful day out and about collecting caches and placing our stamp in the log books.
Thanks Nottinghamers for placing this cache for us to make a find on

Tftc. First thinking that I don't want to search cache from somebody's backyard, but fortunately I was wrong. Cool camo.
