Can vouch for previous logs.

The co ords say this is in the garden bed - which has recently been removed and replaced with turf assumung the cache is now gone.
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.
Quick find for us here.
Thanks for the hide ash&shaun1003

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.
Took a little while searching, coordinates on the caches from ash&shaun1003 always seem to be out, some out by a large radius which can make searching for micro sized items rather frustrating. However we managed to locate this one and sign it.
Thanks ash&shaun1003 for placing this cache for us to make a find on

Harder.find than i thought. Toad popped out at me at one stage lol. Dound in the end though
Found after a fair bit of searching on our way to it's owners place. A photo on a log helped us to narrow down the place to find it. left a toy and took a whistle. Thanks! I find it such a shame that parks like these all over the place are not maintained over the Christmas Break. Would be nice to let the kids run around.
Visiting from Newcastle, staying at Nerang, found with my brother (frayeromm), 2nd attempt and almost gave up again but found at the last minute, TFTC ash&shaun1003!!
Had definitely looked for this one before. Today I looked for things that could be hiding a small container, and there weren't too many of them in this park. Wonder what happened to the trackable in here? If it doesn't show up maybe CO could advise the owner. Thanks guys for another cache on the Coast.
A short look and cache was located.. Left Tiki TB, calling all Kiwi Geohunters this TB wants to make its way back to beautiful NZ.. Took Simpson TB:)) TFTC
Mr. Herbz made the find as we walked to GZ. Fortunately there weren't any children in the park. TFTC.
This was a nice easy find having read the previous logs and noting co-ords were a little off. By 6.5m for me today. Nevertheless a nice suburban location and the cache log now has another name on it. Took: Australia TB. Left: Disco Stu TB. TFTC. SL.
I found this, about 5 metres from GZ, by following the hints dropped by others. I left a Tb. Thanks ash&shaun1003.
Found this one nice and quick,nice little park,nice little cache.Took the TB.TFTC.
Had an opportunity to get out today with my 2yo boy Riley and grab around 20 finds. Was happy with the day, finding new caches and some older ones I had been to before, but not been able to find. Got them all this time. Thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches.

This one had me hunting for a while, but spied what was a likely spot on the edge of the garden bed, and all was good. TFTC.

Out and about today after a Saturday shift at work.
This one took longer to find than it should have.
Thanks for the cache.

Well. It's official! I'm cache blind. Today I walked right to it and was signing the log in seconds. [xx(]. What can I say. Easy, quick find. Thanks for the cache ash&shaun. Must be getting blind on my old age. But,yea, found it today [^]
When we downloaded this cache the co-ords were a little different and had us in the middle of the road. On reading logs to try to find out what the go was we saw that the cache owner had changed the co-ords. Now tonight logging this we see that the cache note co-ords have been corrected, pity this had not happened before we downloaded as we always feel a little funny in playgrounds. We feel two adults and no kids hanging around a playground is, well you know what we mean. Now it will be better for the next cacher. SL TFTC
i will check on it tonight and activate it again when i know the cache is in its place
a miserable DNF for me today after coating my hands and arms in fine prickles. I nearly gave up 3 times but refused to give up - until now. Ouch is right! OUCH! I did try the helpful alternate co-ords provided by the Couchmen who weren't being couch potatoes and have just found this one but that didn't help me today either. Oh, I do hate to give up. Now I know I'll see a log that says 'easy find' and I'll kick myself.
Hi Ash & Shaun
We got a call from AL wanting help with this one and she is usually pretty good with finding the caches without help.
When we were there a council worker was working up the top area and may have been removing rubbish and maintaining the area.
We are both sure he didn't see us at GZ so I now believe he may have been maintaining the whole area and so may very well have removed the cache and the camouflage.

Geo Wife and I had some time to go out, do a bit of our favourite game and have a nice lunch.
Nerang is just about our closest caches now as we have just about cleared the Gold Coast out apart from a few new caches.
Another Ash & Shaun to go for and we had enjoyed their first one so were looking forward to it.
Geo Wife had read the previous logs as she is so good at doing (I'm hopeless at it) I'd rather just go and get it and we noted that they had found the coords to be slightly off so we were prepared.
We took a walk and soon spotted the hide and uncovered the container.
We did a swap in the contents and returned the container safe and sound.
The coords that worked for us today are listed above.
Thanks Ash & Shaun TFTC SL TSLS

As per previous logs, the coords put you in the middle of the road and with fairly obscure hints it was not working for me, it would have been nice if the previous finders had added the real coords.
I darted over here from HP1 hoping to beat SalandAnth, which I did. I had only been at the park for a few minutes when they turned up with big grins on their faces. Fancy meeting you here.
I mentioned the co-ords are in the middle of the road and that I checked a few spots already and was just about to have a look somewhere else but Anth says I reckon it could be there so we headed for it. With Golden Dire Wolf on one side looking I checked the other and bingo. We all took #1 position on the nice new log then rehid. Time for a chat.
Thanks again ash&shaun

FTF along with Golden Dire Wolf and Monkey Maker. We were sitting down eating some chips at FTF number 4 while Anth was browsing caches on the phone. . Ahhh, we missed one! Quick, bring the chips with you... Let's go! Anth remembered this park as he lived 50m from it 10 years ago so we knew how to get there. . We were feeling pretty chuffed with our previous 4 FTFs, so we were going for our 5th. As we pulled up to the park, we recognised a familiar face.... Monkey Maker! .... He looked a bit lost as the coordinates were saying the middle of the road. Anth suggested a likely area, and we all headed over for a look. Monkey Maker reached in and came up with the goods almost straight away. Great team effort and it was good to catch up with a caching friend. Thanks for the cache ash&shaun1003
