Coordinates changed from:S 27 39.408 E 153 12.357Coordinates changed to:S 27 39.413 E 153 12.354Distance from original: 34.5 feet or 10.5 meters.Moved cache

Reset the cache.Not too close to the bridge but still in the area.

Cache Owner to check if it is still there.Suspect it has moved slightly.

Over from NZ visiting and trying to get in as much caching as other commitments allow. I did most of the rat plaque back in 2017/18 but there were still a couple left to get.Today I walked a loop from our accommodation to try and clean up the Cornubia area. Did 8.5 km with 215 m elevation gain per Strava. I spent a good 20 minutes here inspecting anything that was likely to conceal a cache, but unfortunately no luck for me today. Thx anyway.

Could not find

No idea

Think either the log is gone or someone has taken it

2023 19/11/23 we looked for about 20 mins couldnt find anything

Cache has been replaced and moved slightly

Relocated close to real site

Out with daughter and grandson. Pretty sure we were in right position by comments and photos. Ih well, we'll try again later

Had a good search for this one. Expended the area and still no luck. Did spot a few locals, they weren’t any help.

Might have been taken.

Searched for about 20 minutes including using the hint and reading past logs but could not find it

Not to hard tftc

Co checked. Still there. Coords are bit out.

Thanks

thanks for the find

Look beyond the light !!!

I’m out chasing rats and spied this a short walk away. So I ventured out of the bush and into suburbia for a quick find. Thanks for the cache

Out and about collecting smilies to gain some elevation to help "Reach the Peak" for this month in the new souvenir series.

Find #11341 @ 09:00
Thanks jadhoo for giving us a reason to visit.

Found though my coords were out 20 to 30m. Helped looking at past logs and photos.

Out for the day with nikid1 targeting a D/T I needed then working our way through nearby caches. We spent quite a while here looking all over the place. The dot on the map wanted me in a place where there wasn’t really anywhere to hide a cache, the gps wanted me somewhere else & the cache was eventually found nowhere near either of those places. Widening our search & looking in likely spots saw nikid1 finding the cache sitting exposed. Log signed & replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache jadhoo

Out for a day of caching with KerriMG. There was a cache out this way we were targeting then it was just a lovely day of caching. This is a lovely area so thanks for bringing us here.
We walked around in circles for quite a while before I spied this just sitting there out in the open waiting to be found. TFTC jadhoo

Easy find. TFTC.

Catching up on some logging today, so a bit of a generic log, I'm afraid.

hatzofff decided I needed to get out. Nice to get another rather historic Thunderbird.

Log signed and cache replaced as found on May 25 2021. TFTC, jadhoo.

Out today to pick up a few caches with the foursome team

Nice time of the year to be taking a walks in the bush.

Like everyone else I was wandering around waiting for GPS to settle.

TFTCache jadhoo

TFTC smile 9147 out and about with miss millie geo dog and a lovely day we had great cache
Thank you, jadhoo, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

I was just about to give up (GPS was bouncing around like crazy), when a clue in the logs helped me figure out where to look. Great hide, TFTC!

After about 45min we still had no luck. For an easy cache I was surprised we couldn't find it even with other users clues.

Really relied on some of the clues for this one. TFTC

Thanks for replacing log

The hardest thing here was exercising patience and trying to look extra interested in nature, bridge construction, you name it, until there was a break in the steady stream of walkers using this popular track . It is lovely in here and I can see why its so popular.
Cache was in good condition and I quickly signed log and replaced before any more walkers came along.
TFTC jadhoo

It took us 40 min to find this, but only because my oppo phone is not liking the geocaching apps (yes, I try two!!) It is very frustrating to the point that I think I need to buy a 2nd phone just for caching!!

Anyway, we used previous logs and photos and eventually got there, which of course was no where near where the app was sending me.

Glad we persevered though!

After striking out further down the path it was nice to come here and make a quick find...

Tftc... left some American coin...

This is a very popular pathway for walkers in the afternoon. We had to wait several times for people to pass. Easy find. Read the hint. Tftc

Doing our daily exercise in this area. A good walk in both dry bush and among the lush greenery along the creek.
A cache that just happened to be next to our path, out in the open even

Thank you for this one

Found nothing here after quite a long search.

TFTC

We (my girlfriend, my husband and i) found it. Our last day in Australia Tomorrow we (my husband and i) are going home to the Netherlands.
We have had fantastic weeks in Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. Thank you Henriëtte and Ton for staying with you in Cornubia (Brisbane)

Lamp post

Hiding stump

Thanks for fun!

Trying to finish a group around the bike trails (on foot). Really wobbly signal had us radiating every direction. A hint in the logs was helpful. Found out in plain sight at back. Added some swaps and tucked away.

Lots of trees to choose.

Once the GPS had stopped bouncing around, 0 was displayed on the screen right above the cache.

A quick find on a quiet afternoon along this pathway.

TFTC!

Easy to find. needs maintenance

Found it but will come back and sign and add a pen. One of the items pictured in a previous log was lying on the ground nearby so it may have been tampered with.

Hubby found this one thanks to the clues and sneaky pics! Logged the find and did a swap. Miss 8 was thrilled with her Jojo bow!!!

My gps wasn’t playing very nicely this morning but using the hint I was able to make a pretty quick find. TFTC!

Easy find TFTC

Thanks DeafVW
TFTC

Was out and about today and thought of finding a cache I came across this one and headed straight to it . The cache was soon spotted after 5 minutes of arriving at GZ as it was out in the open . The log was to wet to sign and the cache needs some attention in regards to water tightness. Thanks for the cache Jadhoo . TFTC!!!

Awesome cache!

Found it! Go Team Fidd

Spent a while here but DNF, I was probably just looking in the wrong spots. Caught some lovely photos of the locals though!

Yey! First find

Great spot

Close to where the compass directed us but not quite! Watch out for spiky lantana!

Found it!

My second one found. This is fun

Not far off the track, fairly easy for the kids to find. Kids excited to see a wallaby. Added a pencil.

Found it! Our first geocache!

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . Tftc

Now, this was a great end to the day. A day of no DNF's and quite a nice collection of smilies in a really special part of the world. I am now happy to say that with this find, I can now leave this pocket of caches, as all are converted to smiles!

This cache was part of a little Sunday mid-morning forest run.

It was one of those days... You know the ones. Where you just wake up and a have a craving to grab a few caches. And not only that, but a need to get out into Mother Nature and detox from the week just had.

After waking up, a quick check of the map was had, and this area stood out as a great little pocket of caches to grab. It was not far from where we were staying and with the Muggle Partner out and about, it allowed me a few hours to do a little hunting.

Thanks for the cache Jadhoo. All is in good order here!

Apologies for the late logging of the cache.

Well with the day washed out the previous weekend, we were greeted by a sunny fine day, so we set off and collected some great smiley's around Cornubia!

Thanks jadhoo for putting out the cache and the hunt!

After giving the hunting up this time last week due to the weather, Ghostgums, Kaisho53 and I re-adjourned same time, same place this morning so we could give the area another crack.

First cab off the rank, we parked close by and took the short stroll to GZ. Once there, the GPSs wanted us all over the place and we spent some time looking in the wrong spots... Ghostgums took a step back, widened his search and located the container in a spot we walked past on approach...

Hint, it you step any more than 2m off the path, you've gone too far or your in the wrong place. Ghostgums took some coords while at GZ.

Cheers jadhoo.

First cache in a while. GPS was out by 15 m or so. Just had to stand back and look around for the obvious big one.

Not a disaster today, but a very nice cache, in a very nice (ie logical) spot. Tftc

Tftc :^)

Found by geoboy using hints from the logs. Coordinates were very jumpy today.
*picture taken about 10m from GZ

Found it!

Yay! My first geocache find TFTC

??

Wow our first geocach and yay we found it

Just about to give up and one last look and had the cache in hand. TFTC

final found it for my 2,000th many thanks TFTC

Well! Finally!!!
Iv attempted this one So. Many times!
Turns out I was waaaaay off.
No wonder.
I'm so happy to cross this one off my list.
Tftc

Out for the day with Zardecoh, kingkeylocksmiths and Marina25 to complete my 25 Unique D/T challenge.

As we were wandering around searching a couple of cyclists rode by and one of them called out and asked if we'd found it. They didn't stop to offer any assistance though so we continued searching. After a bit my gps settled and after widening my search area I found it. All good here.

13/9/15 Out for the day with Rhyssa6, Marina 25 and Zardecoh as we work to getting Rhyssa6 her 25 Unique D/T challenge. After a couple of DNFs we wer hopeful this would put us back on track. It took a little longer than expected and my GPSr was a little bouncy. A couple of bicyclist went by asking if we had found it - but they didn't offer to help! Soon the hint was read and then the cache was discovered. TFTC jadhoo

Rhyssa6, KingKeyLocksmiths, Marina 25 and myself headed out today with 25 Unique D/T caches in mind so Rhyssa6 could complete a certain challenge. As we were looking for this one 2 bike riders rode past and asked if we were Geocachers and were excited when we said yes, but not excited enough to stop and help us!! Rhyssa6 found it without their help or ours! TFTC #14 for our challenge!

A quick find for this one, definitely not a day of disaster for us today TFTC

Let's just say it was yet another day of disaster!.
Iv lost count how many times iv attempted this one and still no luck.
My gps won't get any closer to gz than 50m which is far to large an area to search.
It's frustrating tgat so many others find this one and even after me but I just can't seem to get my hands on this one.
I think I'm done with it. Sad. Sad sad day.

Very tall

Couldn't find it may be gone!

We found our very first geocache!!!!

TFTC!!! Another beautiful walk along this track, no dramas finding it today (thanks to my new GPS) We left a couple of little 'treasures' for the next geokid that wanders this way

Frustrated knowing that someone found it today and we couldn't. My phone was sending me all over the place.....

Beautiful walk today but unfortunately I came up empty handed. I'm yet to find my first cache but having loads of fun trying!
