Found it Beautiful day out and need myself break from work

Love it awesome

found

Started to pour with rain decided to give it a miss next time

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. Followed the instructions in the hint for a speedy find here. Thanks Snickersallan

Lpoked all over, thinking someone might of taken it, might want to check up on it

Nice cache and 16th of the day; TFTC

Quick easy find. Thanks.

Visiting my daughter and grandson today and I was given the task of making my way to the pool shop and get the water tested to bring their pool back to great swimming condition.While in this area, checked the map for any caches and found a couple. Brilliant! Made my way to GZ where I made a quick find.With log signed cache was returned.TFTC Snickersallan

Enjoyed our day out caching with RoddyC, hatzofff, echocage1With 2 sets of eyes having no luck, RoddyC snuck in and made the find, hahahah, TFTC Snickersallan

Out to do some caching today seeing it is much cooler weather. Around south of Nerang. With hatzofff, echocage1, and our interstate friends, poolpoool. I enjoyed that.Log signed and cache replaced as found at 4:53 PM on November 18, 2023. TFTC, Snickersallan

Out today with hatzofff, RoddyC and poolpool. It's much cooler today adding to our enjoyment of the day.Thanks to COs for putting out caches for us to find. I missed it but RoddyC found it where I'd just looked!TFTC

Found with Geoferal no. 2 and nephew
Appologies for the DNF geoferal no. 2 is autistic and pushed the wrong bittons while trying to help.

Of course it starts to rain as soon as I get to the cache for my post-work daily log.
Found a bit buried. Tftc

Stopped here with MrMagoo72 to make a purchase and just happened to check if there was a geocache here. A little look around, and found the well-disguised cache - the leaves certainly helped it to merge into the environment. TFTC.

Quick find after reading the hint. Great location with a public toilet. Always good

Tftc

Not used to caching in Qld, as I come from the desert where there is no leaf litter and always a geotrail to all caches. When I got over to initial 'oh no!' and sat down to think about how to approach this one I decided to just feel around and see what I coukd come up with. Bingo! Tftc

Found it

Found this one easily.

Should have logged this last night but after I got back from a long run around Highland Park I was tired. Shower and bed took priority.

Quick find here with cache in good condition. TFTC

29/3/2023 Find #5971
Wagging work wet Wednesday was upon us, and SaintsMadHouse and I had some serious goals to kick today… once I had finished at acupuncture that is.
The plan had been meticulously laid out by SaintsMadHouse for a productive and successful outing.
A very quick park and grab here. Citoed the wine bottle in the bush too.
Thanks for the cache Snickersallan.

TFTC. Didn’t have a pen. The nieces and nephew loved the surprise.

Clear and direct instructions, Tftc!

Found with BrisAvon. TFTC.

Parked right next to it. My son jumped out and presented me with this cache to complete before I even got out of the car. Tftc

Geosis and I started the day early with a sunrise event at the beach and then some markets and some caches. trying to understand the psyche of people and couldnt decide which end to start in the hint and geosis dug in and found it first.

A fun time today with my geosis. We had some great laughs and found some caches too. TFTC

Checked on this hide after a recent DNF and pleased to report cache is still in position & waiting to be found.

This weekend, jesswrigley and I had a trip down the Gold Coast, comprised of geocaching Events, a family catchup, a Wave Break Island kayak paddle, and a Nerang mountain bike session ride.

Today, I had a few hours looking after baby Warren, so we spent the morning with a Nerang walk along the Nerang River, whilst also completing the [Nerang Walkabout](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/bb9d36b8-68c6-4c49-854f-881baf76da8a) Adventure Lab. Then whilst baby napped, we took a drive south to Worongary and completed the *Worongary Wandering* circuit. It was then time to attend the [Nerang Num-Num](https://coord.info/GCA29Y4) Event for a lunch bite, before driving home via a Q1000 oldie at Pacific Pines.

I parked and left the vehicle engine running while baby Warren slept in the backseat. I spent a few minutes searching around the gardens/bushes and suspected what the cache type may be, but after getting a little concerned that my search was taking longer than expected, I decided to leave it for another day. Perhaps the cache is still here, but just hidden well within leaf litter. Thanks anyway Snickersallan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Find No: 8648. Visiting from Newcastle, staying at my brother's in Nerang, this was my umpteenth attempt at this one, was confused as to which was the first parking bay, thanks for the cache Snickersallan!!

Checked on this hide today and discovered cache was missing. New container now in place, all good to go again, happy caching.

Forgot to hart it

No luck with this one again today but thanks for the adventure

Found it

Tftc

Found it but didn’t have a pen

Maintenance carried out, new log sheet added, all good to go.

Followed instructions to the T, but unable to find this one today

Great find TFTG

Out and about with potatochips101 visiting friends on the coast today, and thought we would grab a few caches to round out the day. This was our last find of the day! Quick easy find - TFTC. Found with potatochips101 logged as 3K.

Our last find of today!

In search of an easy to cache to retrieve before making the (hopefully quicker) trip back home, we arrived at gz and grabbed the cache!

TFTC! Found with Frannymfrog logged as 3K!

A nice quick park’n’grab while in the area... was able to use the parked cars as cover... tftc....

TFTC @ the local shops

Quick find with Barb2e on our way West chasing counties. All good with cache.
TFTC Snickersallan

Day 2 of our trip to QLD and today we are hunting counties. Quick pick up as we leave our accommodation and head West. Also to good to redeem one I'd not found before. Tftc

Nice easy find

TFTC

Got it quick TFTC

Nice quick and easy find. Thank you!

nice and simple good hide!

Cache replaced with new container and log, all good to go.

Highland Park #3 was transferred from SaintsMadHouse to user Snickersallan

It has been taken away. will sort it out asap

Sorry to say that I was unable to locate this one today. Followed the instructions without much luck.

Pick ya

With an afternoon free we decided to head south in the hopes of picking up a few smilies.
This was #7 of 9 caches found.

Super quick find here where all is good.
Made our mark & replaced as found

TFTC SaintsMadHouse

Another grand hide here. The holding device is rusted away. Had to leave it at ground level. Tftc

Gps played up a bit but found quick enough. Tftc

Nice easy find with ShazzyP

Top find with uksquirrel

Got it after a few attempts.

Had to wait for muggles to leave but found it in a minute or two

Can’t see it.

Possibly removed during the recent renovation?

Cool Cache

Spotted after a few min searching

TFTC tricky

Quick find, all is good here

Checked on this one. Safe and sound. No need to step into the garden to log it.

Hopefully just cache blindness for The X-Trailers and myself today. A bush is missing at gz so hope cache not as well.

After rereading clues and log entries several times still walked away with a dnf

TFTC!

Pole position and an easy spot from the geomobile! Yep no need to go in the garden. Nice and quick p&g. Tftc xo

Took about 10 minutes to find. Finally looked at the right angle and jagged it. TFTC

Ahaaa... that’s where it was hiding! Didn’t spot it the first time around but made a quick find after coming at it from a different angle. Thanks for the cache.

Clever. Tftc

Found this a while back but forgot to log. Found with barbbowman and slammer

It was nice to have a convenient parking spot although I should have picked a closer one to cover my searching.

I wandered around the garden for a while before I spotted the cache.

TFTC SaintsMadHouse

Found it easily after relocation, thanks SaintsMadhouse. So interesting that someone managed to find it on 08/11/17 after the entire area was replanted! Glad it was a 36 degree Sunday afternoon and hardly any muggles, although less cars mean less cover! TFTC

This took way longer than expected and it didn’t help that the GPS was bouncing all over the place. Found at 5m from GZ and just glad that I didn’t have to tether my internet for extra data for Squirrellette to find this cache too Happy for the blue to yellow smiley conversion.

P.S. the Highland Court Chinese Restaurant is amazing!

Highland Park #3 was transferred from ash&shaun1003 to user SaintsMadHouse

So pleased to see this one come up on my watchlist as being replaced, looks good with all smilies in the area now. Neat hide and easy for the little ones to find,
TFTC SaintsMadHouse and for keeping this one in play.
Found January 27, 2018

Due to the reconstruction of this area the cache was gone, it is now replaced and ready to be found, slightly different co-ordinates due to the new shape of the area.

Coordinates changed from:
S 28° 0.814 E 153° 20.124

Coordinates changed to:
S 28° 0.817 E 153° 20.121

Distance from original: 24.4 feet or 7.4 meters.

moved slightly due to new shape of the area

In preparation for my adoption of this geocache, it has now been replaced. Coordinates will be updated tonight

Either chantellejade is an incredibly adept rookie, or we’re calling bull! Having dined at Highland Court Chinese after a fluke find on GoogleMaps (score! ), we wanted one final cache before reaching home in Wishart. The new gardens didn’t offer up any plausible hiding spots for a pretty sizable urban cache, so we’re of the majority that believe it’s been muggled. Not too bothered though as it’ll give us another reason to dine at Highland Court Chinese again

A rumbled cache and a redone GZ...think this needs a look-in, ash&shaun1003. Thank you

As mentioned in previous posts, this area has been totally changed. Would like confirmation from CO that it stills exists.

A good find

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

I believe the cache is no longer there after the gardens have been redone. Probably needs to be checked out by CO.

Barriers have now gone after the recent works and unfortunately all the previous gardens with shrubs have been removed and replaced with very small plants and bark. The cache has definitely gone from the newly revamped GZ area.

I think this might be out of action judging by the barriers that are around the GZ area, thanks ash&shaun1003.

Found. Stopped because we were nearby and I needed to drop off a TB. Container not a sistema but eclipse tin which was disappointing.

Easy Find and is an eclipse tin, TFTC

down the coast for ipw
park the car and there is a cache across the road
would be rude to not find it

unable to sign the log due to it being a wet soggy mess but I have a photo of it in my hands

down to see ipw

Reasonably east find but like others it is an eclipse container. Log was dry so east to sign. TFTC ash&shaun1003
