Great hill to walk up, needed the exercise! Nice easy one on the way to the supermarket.Tftc!

It was very hard but we finally found it

Visiting South East Queensland for a week from Port Macquarie. Our last full day on the Gold Coast, today we tackled caches right down the coastal area, from The Spit in the North down to Coolangatta/Tweed Heads in the South. The weather today was prime for caching, with clear skies and lovely temperatures in the low twenties.This was a nice quick find after parking just down the hill.Thanks for the cache

A quick easy find. Thanks.

After 3 miserable failed attempts, I had given up on this one.Had to drop someone at John Flynn today so thought I should take another look.Sitting out in plain sight! Signed and placed back under cover. TFTC

3rd time unlucky. Just can't get a beat on this one.

A short visit to my parents and so flew into Coolangatta from Albury. Had to pick up car from Tugun so decided to see if I could get caches in three states in a day. Started in Victoria this morning and got the other two late in the afternoon.Was going past so a quick diversion and parked nearby. Been here before (though came from the other side). Knew what I was looking for but couldnt locate last time. Today was in the very first place I looked - two leaves moved and there it was. Glad to get this one done.TFTC king-fisher8

MrMagoo72 and I had looked for this one on a previous occasion, but had failed to find it then. This time we parked closer to GZ, and headed over for another look. I had a fair idea what I was looking for, but it took quite a while to find as it was so well camouflaged. When we extracted the logsheet, it looked as though it had been replaced with a sheet from another cache. Nevertheless, we signed and returned it all as found. TFTC.

Park within a CastleVisiting the Tweed LGA with chamad and geopup today to collect caches for a challenge. After admiring some incoming planes we soon found the cache. Log signed, all replaced as found. TFTC king-fisher8# 10141CheersWillis007

A run down to the northern rivers area with Willis007 today sees us taking in a nice cruisey day of caching. It was a slow start with traffic causing a moment or two of issues. We started with a nice trail of puzzle caches in the tweed south area and then worked our way down further south to the little town of Burringbar. It was then over to Pottsville and up to Tugun before then heading home. It was a nice day and a chance to catch up on all happenings and events. All logs were signed and replaced as found, thanks for the hides. Making our way home we still had a couple more to grab. This was in a very usual spot and while I had already cleared the area of debris it seemed I had not dug down enough. While I had just said I'm done for the day lets go, it was then that willis007 says I got it. Where you are joking me, I cleared there. You were right in what it was, you just didnt dig down enough, gees I love it when she puts me in my place, lol. All good with this one and we left it as found just not as deep.

Couldnt find it. Dont know if it was blown away by the storm or just couldnt find it.

Down the Gold Coast for a few days and find as many caches as I can.Ist caching stop with RoddyC, Hatzofff and GrannySmith1947 we made a quick find. Log signed by all before replacing as found. TFTC

On our way to our accommodation for a few days. The temperature is rising hopefully the coming storm will cool things down a little.Nice quick park and grab.TFTCache king-fisher8

TFTC smile 17303 out and about on a lovely day having a great day with geofriends Thank you king-fisher8 for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Found it but full of ants when I opened it so beware

Didnt find this one.

Didnt fine

There is a bit of cardboard inside to log it.

Couldn’t find this one

No luck today

Second times the charm
Pay attention to clue

Add new note but not alot

Centree, log gone tftc

No log inside

Totally found it, but she’s looked better. The inside is nasty, didn’t write on anything

Scratched around like a bush turkey ages for this one. Maybe that was the problem? Disappointing to log a dnf as the hill is steep

I parked close by and strolled over to the area and searched for 10 minutes before reading previous logs and then realised that I had been here back in 2016 and couldn't find it then either.

No go

So much for the quick park and grab. All out of ideas here and the hint isn't a lot of use either

Awesome find. TFTC!

Nice easy find. The log is water damaged so could not sign off.

Found with GeoHubby TB142 and GeoFriend RogerZ1956 and Nature Girl.
Couldn't sign Log was just a glob of wet paper.TFTC

Found a glob of paper no where to sign
Found with geowife kezza1211 Rogerz1956 and naturegirl. Really nice place here though

Took five minutes but the logbook was wet and the Rock that it was in was infested by bugs TFTC

It’s in the park was a super cool find

Another find and another amazing cache. The log book is a sopping wet glob of paper so it will need a new one.

Unfortunately I didn't bring my maintenance kit with me

Quick and easy find after a bit of 'digging'
TFTC

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Anzac Day 2021 - Lest we forget
We came down for the long weekend to attend the Currumbin dawn service and do some local caching in the area.

Quick find on this one. Hint is a dead give away making it easy.

Log is really wet and falling apart. We didn’t have a spare with us.

Hopefully the next finder can replace it.

Caching with my gal Semik our geo pup Aneka,

Caching with my main squeeze, Oddiewan , and our new little geo pup. We used most of our spare logs already and did not take one up the hill woth is so this one may dry out if there is no rain for a while.

A neat spot geocaching has brought us to!

Thanks for the fun, king-fisher8

After 20mins of searching the hint lead us to the cache. TFTC

Too hard for us today, sadly the GPS wasn’t our friend and we couldn’t crack the clue. Will be back again another time soon!

Found it

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). Took a little while. TFTC!

Thanks! Lovely rock!

Found it

Out for a quick pedal before an event this morning at Point Danger. Nice to turn a blue face in to a smiley.

Staying at Tugun for Christmas week with the family and thought I'd do some caching. This is definitely one of the cooler hides I've seen! TFTC!

Nearly logged a DNF; GPS continued to push me somewhere inconsistent with terrain rating, but when finally located, hint IS spot onT4TC

Got it quickly TFTC

While staying near by for an early morning flight tomorrow we took the time to find this cache. TFTC

It took us wile but then when we found it it was awesome.

This was hard

Revisited this one, its still there. Thanks cacheguy13

Looked at night but couldn't see anything, l could of looked longer but noped out after spotting a spider too close to me. I hate spiders.

Doing a Tugun loop with geofriend bebbles61 couldn' find this one

TFTC

Along with HippyDonna and KacheAU grabbing some caches.

TFTC

Well after the GPS have a rock lobster moment we finally found this cache!
As previous posts have indicates the log if full and soaked.
I have replaced the log with two note pad pages and a new plastic bag.
So all good with the cache now

TFTC

Good hiding spot but log book is soaked from recent rain and the zip lock bag is no longer waterproof. Container is still in good condition.

Out for the day trying to find parts for the event. Quick and easy find in a place where I’d probably never come. Thanks for bringing me here. Log definitely needs replacing however. TFTC

Needs a repair, very wet

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Quick find once at GZ. A early morning walk as staying nearby. Back to nz tomorrow. Tftc.

Had some time to kill on the way to a BBQ and this was a nice easy find. Couldn't write on log book though as it was wet. TFTC

My second attempt searching for this cache, the hint helped out a lot. TFTC

Coming from the south that's a killer hill to ride up but we got a lengthy rest looking for the cache. Mother nature, you made that hard! TFTC king-fisher8.

Had work early this morning so on my lunch break I came to grab this cache. Tftc

The Big lizard at this GZ was the only Muggle that knew what we were looking for..

TFTC king-fisher8

Lots of leaves. Good hide

Quick scratch around and it's in hand

Well discussed.

I like this one took longer then it should of but we got there

Nice quick find in first place I looked
Tftc

Great find. Accessed the GZ from wrong direction but what a view. TFTC

Staying down the coast with the family & finding a few caches this afternoon. Made our way to the top of the hill where all was quite & started our search, took longer than it should have but soon had the cache in hand.

found with MalDawg

Found with Maldawg

Nice easy cache. Tftc tnln

We had to remain hidden from the muggle on the corner of Castle Ct as she was doing a crossword on her balcony. Relievedly, the cache was easy to spot from the hint.

Missed the turn on my way to another cache that led me to find this cache.
Glad I did
Thanks

Found it. Log needs replacing. TFTC Found with Bad to the bone.

Quick find early this morning. TFTC

Nice hide in a top location.
