Tricky. Glad we went on a Sunday because we looked around for a while before figuring it out! SL and RAF. TFTC
A little baffled by this one, then I realized what it was called and that was the moment we figured it out. Clever. And also probably easier to do on a Sunday bike ride than during the week.
Fave points led us to this one and another fave coming your way. Saw it straight away but overlooked it. Lucky geo partner was straight onto it. I can honestly say that in many finds and several years I have never found one like this. Awesome! TFTC and the smiley
Really good Cache, took us a while to figure it out but so obvious once we found it.
This was a quick and easy find, just the way I like 'em. Thank you for the smiley and the fun!The day:I was visiting from the U.S. and had a goal of driving all the way up the east coast starting in Melbourne and ending in Port Douglas over a few weeks. Today started in Brisbane and ended in Maroochydore. (My Canberra friends and I had a FaceTime last night and they laughed at how I said Maroochydore. Australian names are hard! LOL)I had originally planned to attend a CITO mid-morning in Brisbane but it was canceled due to rain. I picked up a few caches I had saved to drive to including in the cemetery where the CITO was supposed to occur. I found several diverse types today on my way to Maroochydore and its pretty shoreline. It was another great day in Australia!Many thanks to all the geocachers who placed and continue to maintain their geocaches for folks like me to find. I know it's not always easy, but I do appreciate you.
Very fun cache, took us a little while but no one around as it was night time.
302. Rainy early morning helps regarding muggles, plus business building empty. I have never encountered such a cache, amazing. Felt absolutely criminal even looking. Thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities this activity has for seeing things differently.
Up from VIC, for a work weekend- we stayed on an extra day, as I wanted to find a cache in QLD! Whilst searching for this one, a local guy made a comment to me about the weather getting warm, atleast I thought he was referring to the weather!!! Turns out he is this caches owner and knew exactly what we were hanging about for!!!Gave us abit of insight to this hide, and I soon had it in my hand. Thanks for a great hide.
This geocache was on my priority/bucket list due to its high Favourite Point (FP) count, with 89 FPs as of the time of my visit.It was at this time that baby Cottontail started to nod off in her baby seat in the back, so we had a little time to scope out targeted geocaches within the area. I initially thought that the cache was in the neighbouring property behind the compound's fence, until realising that a better approach was from the west. At GZ, there wasn't a lot and one item that made us uneasy, so after an initial search, I inspected that item and the cache was found. Clever and and well-disguised; The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks SSS__Spinna76 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. Favourite Point for the great hide.Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/[jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) stamp.----------Today, [jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T), baby Cottontail and I travelled north to Mooloolaba for the day visiting Sea Life Aquarium and relaxing at the beach. The morning's weather was dreary and drizzly, which made the aquarium decision a good choice. Following pancakes for lunch at The Wharf Mooloolaba, we headed to a nearby beach and enjoyed an ocean dip and sand castle building. We then headed home, detouring through Mountain Creek for a select few targeted geocaches.
Wow!!!! Amazing hide. Found it immediately but needed Geohubby with the courage to investigate further.Loved it!!! Also our 300th find! TFTC - so food. A fav from us!
Visiting the Sunshine Coast for the long weekend and finding a few geocaches while here. Very clever
this one made me laugh felt so dumb looking for ages before I found it.tftc
Public holiday. Searched for 30 minutes.I'm guessing it's next door which is locked.
Out for a morning of caching - kids were a little unsure of this one but trusted the geoinsticts and sure enough came up trumps. A clever urban hide - have a fav point from us. TFTC
Last day in the Sunshine Coast, we decided to find a few more caches before flying out. This one was a cool hide, made easier since I've seen one like this before. Interesting spot nonetheless. Tftc
It was always watching me. Found it after about 7 to 8 minutes thought it was in the gated plumbing spot but no. I got suspicious and with me being just 5 foot decided to jump up and hit it and there was the cache. TFTC.
Major works have now been completed. Cache back in place but still be cautious of the odd worker. All business know of it's placement.
Found it. Great cache. I am glad that we did it while the business was closed, otherwise the people at the business would have had a great laugh. Thanks spinna76
I was visiting the Aquarium and collected this cache on the way home. I was intrigued by the fav points on what appeared to be a mint tin cache. Luckily we had the timing right, as all the businesses were closed. We found the mint tin easily, which posed no challenge.
Oh, now I get it! This was a fun cache; it took me a while to sign my name in the log.

Out with a newbie cachet and selected two caches with a large number of favourites to start her on the journey. Found both caches which was great and they both were very high quality.
Favourite point given.

We are up from cold old Melbourne to hopefully sunny QLD and to do some geocaching. TFTC
spinna76 I found your cache Look 2007 on 23/6/2022, 12:05 pm. This is my find 3574 and find # 6 today. Well, what can I say, this is such a clever cache. Had me scratching my head after locating the decoy. But after some thinking the real cache was soon in my hands. Have a favourite from me. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
A drive to the sunshine coast with Willis007 and Bella (geodog) to continue collecting caches on the sunshine coast LGA. Today was to continue with the Sunshine coast LGA challenge and to support E smileys Celebration event. We worked our way around the coastal areas collecting caches and spending time at caches that were not there . It was a fun day and will still have to come back again to this area to finish off the challenge.
This one was on our way to the event, how funny I walked up and saw it straight away, as it was point towards the wall lol. However, I still grabbed the decoy just to play the game. Well it has another favourite here from me thanks.
We signed the log and replaced all as found, onto the next one. Thanks for the cache all good with this one.

Heading to the lovely Sunshine Coast this morning for a Celebration Event with chamad and geopup, we stopped to collect some caches while in the area.
A quick find after arriving at gz, log signed and all replaced as found.
All is well with the cache.
Thanks spinna76 for the clever cache - an fp from me.

Enjoying my two day visit to the Sunshine Coast with geo friends. We decided to venture out into the quieter suburbs and pulled up here to look for this one. Wow, now that was very clever, absolutely % and definitely a favourite point from me, very well done!

Found this on the 29th April. Had started to log and never got back to it. Took us 3 trips into the car park to even attempt this one. We weren't brave enough the first time around lunch time with it being so busy. Decided to try after 5pm. When we returned there were two guys chatting in the car park so left and came back after they had gone. We were able to put our hands straight on it. Brilliant idea nice having a decoy too. Good cache... Thanks for the hide.
I had done my recon on this one and so was 99% sure of where the cache was. Still, I was a bit nervous to try in case I was wrong. Didn’t need the hint in the decoy as it turns out my suspicion was right (phew) but I looked at it anyway. A well done cache Spinna
Excellent work. I ignored the obvious decoy and went straight for the money shot. Bam! Done and dusted! Easy find for me on a late Saturday arvo! Thanks!
Having picked up my car from the recall service, I continued finding caches hoping to 'Reach the Peak - Puncak Jaya Basecamp souvenir - 2,309 points to go!
Saw the decoy from the car, but also a muggle inside the business looking directly outside. Resorted to PAF, as looking for the cache alone with mask on would look really suspicious I think.
Thanks for the cache and taking us here spinna76. Clever hide! I was afraid of that but adding another

Due to Covid-19 Lockdown I have disabled my Geocaches during the period of lockdown.
Chooo ooo [found] - with Dty73 and aquilus1 on our Dayboro Mega caching holiday! But sus getting this one! Thanks spinna76!
Day Six of our trip.
Aquilus1, Tankengine and I left Caboolture and headed north to Bundaberg.
We had rain, sun, wind and caching excitement. The scenery was amazing and we saw some very interesting things along the way.
This cache: Well, we parked, we saw and guessed straight away, still one of us HAD to check the decoy. Wasn’t feeling real comfortable, but a quick snatch and grab and we were off again. Tftc spinna76!!!

The fav points on this caught our attention so heading north we decided to stop in and have a look. Spotted straight away but second guessed whether it would be or if we should mess with that... it was a simple find in the end once committed to check.
After last night's torrential rain it was no wonder there was so much water laying about as we drove. Up into the mountains to Gardner Falls the rain of the past few days was at its peak.. Amazing! After a drenching at the rainforest walk it was down to the sunshine coast where there was no rain and indeed it was sunny!
The welcomed sun didn't last with light quick showers blowing through but with the sun and the warmth occasionally still it was nice enough. Found ourselves in Maryborough which was a great town embracing it's Mary Poppins history and amazing buildings. An odd day of torrential rain which, floods, rainforest coast blue sky and sunshine... then Bunderberg overnight.

A night time find. Have not seen one if these since Halifax about 2010
Thank you for hiding this geocache and keeping me entertained spinna76

It’s a knack. And one that serves us coppers well. Just standing still and hiding in plain sight.
I spotted it on approach but dismissed it until we found the decoy and did some research. Very clever. Thanks for the cache
Yep, finally getting around to logging some old finds!
Thanks spinna76 for being so patient while waiting for me to turn up to find your “special” cache. Even Ejcat’s muggle friend thought it was pretty cool and is kind of interested in tagging along with us geocaching again sometime… well, as interested as a teenager these days can get anyway!
Thanks mate, fp in the mail when I earn another one!

Due to the Covid-19 Virus and the instructions given by our Government to stop all non essential travel I have decided to disabled this Geocache. This decision was made after receiving a number of logs on caches I own or that I am a custodian of.
Anybody logging this cache while being disabled will have their log deleted from the cache page and removed from the physical log within the cache.
The cache will be reactivated after we are given clearance to freely travel.

Out with the Tessmann crew and must admit we really liked this one. Great eclipse! TFTC
Very well played Spinna76!!! Very interesting hide! Luckily it was a Sunday which made for a easy and muggle-free find. All good with this cache. Dipped TB "Crazy Ham". TYFTC.
Visiting from New Zealand vfor a few days, and am making my way back home today. Loved this one. Both parts found without issue, thanks in part to everything being closed today.
Hmmm shall we log this from our armchair?? Nah quiet Saturday afternoon was perfect timing. Damn eclipse tins!!
Hatzofff and I are on the Sunny Coast for an Event at Alex. Heads, and decided to stay for two days. Today is the second of the two days.
When we pulled up to park, hatzofff was a bit dubious about the "private property' aspect of this cache because she thought it was behind the fenced area. Not so, I said - just look over there.
So we did, and spotted the decoy. Ha! But the real cache took a bit, only realising what it was after exhausting all other possibilities at GZ. Good one!
Log signed and replaced on July 7, 2019 at 10.45am. TFTC, spinna76.

Nice hide. I like it.

This cache was a lot of fun! Mr STW actually abandoned me to look on my own while he ducked into a shop, so I enlisted the help of my mother-in-law. It was me however, that came up with the idea and then uncovered the cache as she watched from the car. A bit of thinking involved here, but not too much time taken up with frustrating searching. A favourite for us!
On my way home from a weekend up on the Sunny Coast and looking for just one more to do. As it was well after dark, so my options were limited as to what was doable in the dark on my own. Must admit it was the favourite points that caught my eye so I thought I'd have a look too. Rolled up and studied GZ in the headlights, hmmm, I wonder? Parked the car for a quick getaway if needed and trotted over. Surprised and amused by the decoy and what was on it confirmed my first hunch so I went in for the kill. Bingo!
Can see why this one has earned favourite points and I'll add one to the collection too.
TFTC spinna76, all good here.
