On a bit of a break from our scrapbook retreat saintsmadhouse and I arrived at GZ, where we were careful to look out for the 'land mines' left from fellow doggie companions. Located cache and signed the log, TFTC blacklegend, a lovely park to bring us to..I think we need some rain as the grass was looking a bit thirsty.
 
27-Feb-16
This one had us ducking and weaving to miss tge dig bombs as we infiltrated the park and checked a few likely spot. After a little while we spotted the hidden beast. No need to rip the tree apart looking for it.
 
24-Feb-16
Out and about with RoddyC and Team Benders. We had a lovely day at the Gold Coast and collected 5 mysteries and some traditional ones.
 
24-Feb-16
Out with RoddyC and Nadine 1989 visiting the Gold Coast today.
Arrived at this nice park.
After a wander in to the GZ.
I located the cache and found that the log was wet and stuck inside.
A new log has been placed with our signatures in a little baggie.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Blacklegend Cool All good with this cache

After the disappointment of not finding "Harbour Quays - Estuary Offshoot", we shot around to this park hoping it would be a nice shady one for a bit of relief from the heat. Unfortunately, being a new park, there trees have not yet grown enough to proved much shade - not that palm trees give much shade anyway!

We found the cache, but replaced the badly decomposed log book - even putting it into a little zip bag hoping it would help it keep dry. Added all three names (RoddyC, Team Bender and Nadine1989) and returned the cache as found, but added some more camouflage cover so it would not be quite so obvious to anyone looking a little more closely at the palm tree. After all, this is a very exposed area for muggle observation of any geocaching activity.

Found at 1.00pm on 24th February 216. TFTC.
 
20-Feb-16
Log needs replacing (very soggy). TFTC
 
01-Feb-16
A new log roll (the current one is a sodden mess) and probably a new O-ring (the absence of which is likely why water has got in) are required here.

I found myself wandering around behind my wife at Harbour Town today during a visit to the Gold Coast. When I'd had enough of that, I told her give me a call when she was done and headed to the nearby pub for some quiet contemplation ... and a pint of icy cold beer. Checking my phone, I then saw there were a couple of caches nearby so when the glass was drained, I headed off in pursuit of them. This one didn't take long to find once at GZ ... though I had to seek cover from a passing storm while heading there. Added my barely legible mark to a very sodden log roll before returnng the cache to its hidey hole and heading back to the pub via the nearby TB hotel. Thanks for the cache Blacklegend and for the smiley.

Found this on a walk to Harbourtown while I was over in Aussie on a course. Sadly this looks like it will be my last cache for a while as I dislocated my knee on the following Wednesday, two days before flying home. Still the cache is in a great location, plenty of sun and room. Many thanks. #93
