Quick and easy find for GeoDad tftc

Finally! Third time's the winner!Sunday with nothing in my calendar until later afternoon. This combined with a desire to clear some geocaches off my to-do- list and wanting to drive my new car around some bendy roads a bunch has sent me towards Tamborine and associated Mountain. After very much enjoying the drive up (but saddened that the stone pillar halfway up has collapsed), and a few other geocaches,I must once more face my nemesis; this silly geocache.A testament to my sometimes uttered motto of "making D1.5s into D5s since '09". Two visits, lots of time searching and many, many jokes by mates at various gatherings. Maybe today I can finally seek the personal satisfaction of finding a very simple geocache.Down the hill this time (I've come from below every other) and I realise that each visit I've been in a different car. Fun fact. Or not, whatever. I park up and head to the familiar battleground. And in perhaps the least satisfying conclusion to the saga, I find the geocache on the ground, out in the open. A container type I've seen before, and all in perfect condition. And at the co-ordinates.But still, I hold the deceptive beast aloft in triumph and finally after a two-year embarrassing battle of disappointment, this !@#$ing geocache is now a smiley! At 12:10 I sign my name and place it back in the most logical spot. One I must have just never looked at and touched before. Dead to me. Thanks for this geocache, the torment and sleepless nights, KezzBear

Easy find TFTC

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 one target cache, we stopped to collect anything else we passed along the way. This was a nice speedy find and after signing and replacing, we made sure to continue on to check out the million dollar views. Thanks KezzBear

Out and about on this beautiful Monday with karen rinora. We toured around, and of course found some smilies along the way. Thanks for adding to our great day! A quick roadside find. TFTC!

Nice hide, with no spiders!TFTC.fav from me!

11/2/2024 Find #6828A day out and about with KezzBear and KBreeAHH on a bit of a maintenance check for KezzBear before she ups and leaves us for a new life of adventure. The day was filled with fun, food and memories but with a tinge of sadness too knowing this would definitely be our last adventure together for some time. We had discussed this one on the way as Captain Terror was unable to find it and we very much wanted to prove otherwise. KBreeAHH bounds over and looks for the cache. I agree with Captain Terror, its not here she says.. and then looks a little lower immediately after and sees the seriously obvious cache! Oh dear!Thanks for the cache KezzBear.

Found it! Great hide and a lovely spot. TFTC!

Well, !@#$. Back to avenge a DNF from June 2022, and what have I got to show for it? Probably a nemesis geocache, another DNF and managed two ticks as well!This afternoon I'm grabbing geocaches from my to-do list between Canungra and Oxenford, and this grubby blue frown is on my map. Fine, let's grab that on the way! In my loan car, we learned that an automatic Hyundai Getz takes it's sweet time chugging up this hill, but it will get there!I parked in the usual spot and began my hunt. All the usual spots - trees, guardrails, grass. Many minutes and four-letter words went by and I was about convinced this was a no-find today. Then two things happened at once I found a massive tick crawling up my leg, and a dog-walking muggle was headed inbound. Abort, back to the car. Avenge mission failed.By the time I got home, I found another tick but this time latched on. If you're looking for it back, KezzBear, I sent it down the sink at around 8:00pm. With the words I said to it, it's likely not in a good mood either.So ah, third time the charm in another 18 months?

When we made our impromptu plan to cache around Tamborine Mountain we just picked a bunch of hides in the general area and made a plan so loose that it looked like a preschooler had tied out shoelaces. If a hide looked like it was only a five minute drive away it was added to the list.Well everything looks 5 minutes away when you arent paying attention. Sometimes there are a few twists and turns and then sometimes you have to drive down half a mountain.We took our medicine and learned from our mistake to plan a bit better and look at magical mystical things that some people call contours. Well once you come down there is only way to go and that is back up (unlike a yo-yo which never goes back up). tftc

Tftc found it on second occasion. Lol

Definitely not the Tupperware you’ll be looking for, found it

Didn’t find this one.

These should make it simple

This one had us scratching our heads as it said don’t go down the slope but the gps had us pointing 20 meters down the slope.

Found it after looking a bit further away at first. Doesn't look like a Tupperware container to me.

Well, after being finally sucked in to the world of selling Tupperware during Covid, of course we had to stop and find this one!!
As others have said there is no lid, just a log in a baggie. I have replaced the cache back together with the lid and base (the base was safe and secure where it’s always been).
I would suspect that previous Tupperware containers had not kept the moisture out due to not being correctly sealed every time, which is a shame as I would have loved to have found my first Tupperware in the bush using those expensive satellites!
Thanks for placing

I made a quick find. The cache does not have a lid. Thanks for placing this cache SaintsMadHouse

This weekend, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T), baby Cottontail and I had planned to spend a night in Tamborine Mountain. On Friday, we walked Palm Grove, The Knoll National Park, had a browse up-down Gallery Walk, and visited a winery. On Saturday, we participated in the local parkrun followed by a walk to Witches Falls Lookout. Overall, we had a terrific trip with great accommodation and excellent hospitality, so a return visit in the future is likely.

Today, we awoke to Tamborine parkrun as a new experience/location, and then hurried back to be treated to a glorious accommodation breakfast. We then had a short morning hike using the Witches Chase Track to Witches Falls Lookout, before then needing to hurry back for the morning event [Tamborine Tea Break](https://coord.info/GCA4E18). This catch-up had both locals and travellers alike, and it was a great venue to talk to everybody.

With our accommodation just up the road from this location, I was able to convince [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) to drive down to this geocache, before proceeding back towards Tamborine Mountain. No issues with locating this cache, although the geocache only existed as a logbook inside a protective bag with no container? I also took the TB for future travels. It also seems that we are the geocache's first visitors for 2023! Thanks saintsmadhouse for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A fun weekend away with Davidwazza! TFTC!

I suspect the current container is not tupperware. If it is, then they have changed a lot since my mother used to host tupperware parties back in the day.

Great spot for a quick find. Thanks

Quick find while heading up the mountain to the Coffee Plantation. Left tb we have been carrying for a while. TFTC

#106
easy find with some experience.

Looked in the obvious stop but still very cheeky. Found with Sarahe28 and Gorjess516. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Found with Rach_jean21 and gorjess516

Saturday at the wineries Sunday caching. The perfect weekend!
Cache is in great condition.
TFTC. Found w Sarah and Rach.

Tftc SaintsMadHouse , we had a great day out today, driving around . After a big day yesterday. The scenery here is pretty special. Thanks for bringing us here.
Should have read the hint sooner

Found it

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

Grabbed a few with lisylou and mnance101 after a weekend at oriellys with the herbz, on our way to Mt tambourine tftc

Found with bennyboppers and mnance101 today after a bit of search. The sizing made me disregard gz at first, but founded eventually. Tftc

Ahhh the replacement of a structure here has caused the loss of this cache. I have placed a new one here and it is all good to go now

Out and about with oz_bean_counter, and trying to get to O'Reilly's, a last moment decision was made to come up this road instead. Eventually, we'd discover the road from Tamborine Mountain to Canungra closed and would have to double back, but right now we're enjoying the view and noticed some geocaches along the way.

This ultimately ended in us giving up. It seems it's been replaced and some information conflicts. Nevertheless, we looked all over the place here; in the bush, in the guardrail, down the slope. Nothing. Not the first time I've been tricked by a SMH geocache.

But, while down the slope, I did retrieve some dumped rubbish to pile up for council to deal with. So that felt good.

Ooopsy, we didn't find this today.

Couldn't spot anything here today.

We looked for ages but no luck in locating it. Looked on both sides of the road think gps may be off but still nothing.

A couple of days down south of Brisbane around the coast. We were keeping company with Tenkae, who is a local here and had found many of the ones we were seeking. She politely sat in the car while we went and took our time lifting every leaf and branch until we finally found where we needed to be.
We found this one with Que Sera, to the background giggles of Tenkae who watched us struggle.
Thanks SaintsMadHouse
Domsky

Domsky and i were looking for this one and Tenkae just came along and spotted it straight away in a place we already looked. Lucky to have another set of eyes. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Watched everyone search for a few minutes before jumping out of the car and making short work of it... right where everyone had already checked. Great cache

I really should be working but they are just there!!

Another day at work on the side of the road, time for a quick check for nearby caches on my lunch break.
Apparently there is a cache located within 5 meters of me, well we just have to go and find that now dont we.
Log signed, cache in good condition and replaced as found.
TFTC

Found itv
Wow what a view range mountains ️️
With DutchAus

Found it cool with DeafPhantom

Easy find, thought it was in the forest

Checked as we passed and all is good

We’re coming down from Mount Tamborine... and looking for somewhere to eat... one of our group is getting hangry... this took longer than it should have... perhaps we should eat... tftc...

All thought some else had checked the spot! Found by Peppa. As pirate Linda looked on

Found with Peppa and 2manytrailers on our day of adventuring around Mt Tamborine. After missing the cache originally at the obvious spot widened our search with no results. Peppa read old logs and came up with a clue which had us back at the original spot with all three of us saying 'I thought YOU checked that spot!'

A plan of grab a bunch of caches on the gold coast was our aim for today, however things never really pan out the way you plan sometimes. We made a list and added a few target caches, then added a few as we passed by, this one made it to the list as we attended to other close by.
A fun find and a nice view along the way and with the log signed and the cache replaced as found we were back to the list for today. Thanks for placing this one here.

A quick find on a lovely Gold Coast morning picking up some caches with Chamad.
Thanks for the cache saintsmadhouse

Drove up the road to look at the view as well. Lucky people who live there! Quick find. Tftc

Got it thanks for replacing.

Couldn't find thanks

TFTC!

Hasn’t been found in awhile and I sure if weather had made a difference but we searched and could not find anything

TFTC!

nice hidden spot, bus driver watched me find out TFTC

Really enjoying finding these on our way home. TFTC

TFTC

TfTC- about to drive down the road and check out the view you promised

Heading back to our accommodation at Tamborine, picked up this after reading it was now magnetic, saw some views of the coast this afternoon. Thanks for another cache.

Replaced again. Magnetic now

Out for a caching adventure or two with Hatzofff, Dora the Explorer! Big thanks to saintsmadhouse for this one. TFTC

With Selva Girls and dora the explorer and picking up caches on our list.

TFTC saintsmadhouse and an extra thank you.

Out for a drive around the northern end of the GC to get some caches. Grabbed this one on the way back down. Last one for the day. TFTC saintsmadhouse

Got it! TFTC

A quick find while watching trucks fighting the steep. TFTFC

Last find of a quick after work hunt racking up my finds for the mystery at the museum challenge. TFTC

Quick find on the way through today. Lucky the work men had left from this morning. Tftc

Nice find with ShazzyP

Found with uksquirrel. She made me go in. workmen watching us to our thing

Neat little find

Day 24 of our drive from Bright in Victoria to Brisbane, Queensland. It can be rather boring, so we cache as we go. We camped are currently camped in the showgrounds at Canungra in preparedness of this afternoon's event.

After sailing past previous cache, we called in to find this one. Thanks SMH

This one now has a new container with the old tupperware one inside it, new logbook and trades to replace the soaking wet ones. Thanks for alerting me to this needing attention

will replace log this week

Couldn’t sign log as was soaking wet, this may need some TLC. Found with krcamber

Out for a caching day with reezielou. Found this one in dire need of some TLC, like you say Tupperware is NOT water tight. Log soaking wet, unable to sign. TFTC anyway!

Watawieh from Norfolk Island South Pacific. On my way down from Tamborine Mountain after attending an event and I stopped and found as many caches as possible on my drive. Both the cache container & logbook were full of water. It looks like some of Australia’s animals have attempted to gain entry to the cache and the container is no longer waterproof. TFTC

Not a good advertisement for Tupperware had to tip water out log hard to sign due to dampness and it is a smile for me tftc

Nice hide. A bit wet inside despite all the packaging. Tftc

Cache is still dry - off to look at the views. TFTC

Tftc. First checked the guard rail but as the description says, it's not on the guard rail so I moved a little to the bush and signed the dry logbook.

This took me a little while but I found it in the end.
Picked up TB. There really are some fantastic views around here!
TFTC

New logbook and refilled trades. Left a trackable to be moved on. Nora has almost finished her journeys goals, can you help her?

Found it...

Found it easy peasy but it was full of water

Dahumbug cleaned out the "Tupperware" and placed the book in a new zippy bag.

Applied maintenance to this one upon finding it...not sure how it stood after the big wet.
Thanks SMH

Log is wet, we did scratch our names in it. Glad I could drive up the hill not have to walk it. TFTC

A nice quick find, cache wet but log fairly dry

TFTC

TFTC, luckily I read prev logs first to make it a quick park and grab, cache was full of water, drained and dried best I could.

In the region for another recreational activity and did some geocaching around sight-seeing. Was told this was a steep climb and used the slow climb to cool the engine before climbing the rest of the way. Cache in great shape no problems finding it. Cheers!

Tough drive up Henry Roberts Dr.

Wooooo, Co-ords were taking me bush alright. Straight down. Thought this can't be right, but trust the GPS I thought. Then down I slipped/fell. Something had to be wrong here so had a look at the last too find. Bugger!! Back up I crawled & there it was lol
All good, log was a little damp but okay. TFTF.

Co-ords wanted us to trek 19m down a very steep bushy hill. We hung around the top for a while and located the Tupperware. Might need to use the lifetime warranty to replace the chewed lid. TFTC!

Another lovely day driving around the rural areas of the Gold Coast. Today I headed out towards Canungra visiting alot of back roads along the way. Wow there are some VERY steep roads out this way !!!

This is one VERY steep road, wow I wasnt sure if my little 4cyl would make it up haha but we did . No issues with the cache find, signed and replaced.

Thanks for the cache SaintsMadHouse [^]
