Thank you for this wonderful geocache me and my friend had finding it great place
Looked for this one last year when we were there so came back and this time success TFTC
Took a little bit of digging around- putting my hand unnecessarily into some dodgy holes, but got there in the end. Nice and quiet from muggles, not from cars - but are they going to notice. Glad. Found it. TFTC
Sunshine Coast was today target. I needed two caches up there for my next D/T loop. I found 16 caches and few AL waypoints. This one was next on the list. Signed the log and return it to the cache.

Out hunting on the Sunny Coast along with & Bris today. I needed this one to almost get me to 26 Loops . Now to find a 1/2.5 & party time !!!
Muggle65, Brislions and l had a really fun day caching up the Sunny Coast. We got perfect weather and nearly everything on our list. Thank you for the fun
Found today, while up on Sunshine Coast, grabbing some hidden date hides, and also nearby hides which we walked past, this was a quick find, in a very tiny CAVE, Thanks electro man, hide is in good condition, also visited 20 odd TBs
Okay, so the day started at 6am so that we could catch a few caches to help the geo-dad (Cliff5009) fill in a few holes in his Hidden Dates chart.
A bit of a drive up Bruce Highway early on a spring morning, during the school holidays, so traffic was not too bad.
So this was cache 3 for the day.
First time looking for this. Parking was more of an issue to actually finding this one.
Just had to make sure there none of those wriggly sticks floating around before we stick our hands in. Got it, now have a squiggle in the log. Cache in excellent condition.
Thank you very much for placing this cache.

There is nothing even closely resembling a cave on the tree. Are the coordinates maybe off?

Out with chamad, E_Smiley, Duppers collecting caches on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.
After an early start we made our way north, collecting caches as we went.
This was a quick find, after signing the log we continued our journey.

A plan was set for today to try to complete as many of the sunshine coast caches as possible with a target of 140 (my target). Todays little group was Willis007, Esmiley, newcomer Duppers and myself. We meet at the arranged meeting point; we worked out where we were going and had a plan for the day. It was a little slow start but once all the formalities were done it was all systems go. The day was a lot of fun, with laughs, the usual banter and some nice walks. The plan changed a little as we went, we got a third of our targets, which I was happy with, as it was a big ask considering the caches were doing. We had a few DNF’s which took up a lot of time, a couple of multis that had us stuck for a checker tick. We were lucky to have Esmiley along who had completed a few of the caches and gave us some insight.
Thanks to all the CO’s for the caches and some fun hides and to my caching buddies for the day. We signed all logs and replaced containers as we found them.
We parked up and walked over to GZ this was a nice find here thanks.
All good with this cache and now it is onto the next one.

9:06:00 AM. Happened to be in the area. Had a nice walk from the 7/11 around the waters edge. A great path and some nice boats around here. Got to GZ and waited for a couple of bike riders to pass then looked at the area around GZ. The smiley gods must have been looking out for us today and the cache was in the first place I reached. Log signed and cache returned. Thanks for the cache smallwombat
Dropped by here today to refind..
Twice actually.
Second time round was much faster.
Definitely wheelchair accessible.

T1 means a person in a wheel chair can find it? Given the garden plants that leaves few options.
Wow that took some searching! And some bravery was on edge waiting for something to come out at us
Thank you who ever left gloves ️

Almost gave up and looked one last time - deep, and lo and behold ! You won’t find this by just looking from far
Wow this one took me a while looking on the wrong side! So many possible spots. I eventually found it by feel and not the torch. A fun hunt here today. TFTC
Finally got this during my lunch break. If it wasn't for my GeoWife, I don't think we would have ever found this. I can see why fellow cachers have problems finding this one. Nice hide as always previous logs are a great help.
TFTC electro_man!!

Found today despite a previous DNF. Was found quite easily. All is well with this cache. TYFTC.
Second time for us, this one had got me beat so far. However, I won’t give up and will back in a week or two! Third time lucky I hope
I must have had rocks in me head too !! [:o]
Trying to find this cache kept me busy for 20 minutes or so
But in the end ... a DNF for me

No way were we putting our hands in there, and even poking with our walking pole didn't unearth the cache.
Shining lights in holes and poking around in them with sticks yielded no results, and after a decent serarch we decided to call it a day. We both need 2 more finds to get the March 13 tally up to 26, but we'll leave them until late afternoon and (hopefully!) cooler conditions.
Had a quick look for this one tonight but couldn't locate the correct cave Will have to come back during the day.
Happy to report that all is well with this cache and dry as a bone. Quite unusual for a cache of this type to remain quiet for 9 months but for me a good find and a Smiley face. TFTC

Sunday. Fourth cache found today for Slow Puncture with Muggle Friend Adriano in tow. We needed to use our phone torch on this one, as there were a couple of obvious looking spots, but nothing was revealed until we turned on the torch and revisited the spots we’d just seen. Bingo! Cache spotted and replaced as found. Nicely hidden! Thanks for placing a cache in this area as it will be very useful for our next D/T grid loop.
This was the 4th of 6 caches found on today's trip.
Thanks ***electro_man***, for showing us this place.

We were searching the wrong side but once we moved over to just maybe check over there, it was a quick find. Quite exposed so I pushed it a little further back.
Avast ye landlubbers & scurvy sea dogs, today we set sail in the legendary pirate ship 'Sabotege' (pirate speak for Geo-Beast) for a raid on them there northern realms.
Found the treasure tucked away beside a very busy sea lane!
Made our mark & ventured forth.
TFTC me hearties!
AARGGHHH!

The cache is still safely hiding in its rocky hideaway.
Logbook is clean and dry.

Poked a long stick in every hole before putting in our hands, but still no luck. Will have to try another day.
Out on the geojet after a couple of wet days to pick up a few caches. There seemed to be hundreds of possible hiding places but perseverance was rewarded. TFTC electro_man.
Glad I had my geobuddy cause there was no way I was sticking my hand up in there. No way!!! TFTC
Time for a Wacky Wednesday with teamdfl [^]
This one gave us some grief in the searching, and we ended up trawling through old logs for a hint. Ohhh, oops, back to the first spot and have a better look TFTC, electro_man.

Yes I think we do again today. Should have checked the first place better, but you know.....
Spent way too long looking. Happy to locate it finally.

Second crack at this nut. Easy they say. Just put your hand somewhere dark they say. Next time gadget
geohubby to the rescue. No way were my hands going to encounter any 8 legged scary things. lol tftc
With a shaking hand it was retrieved!! Thank goodness for iPhone torch to check before I reached!!!
Geopartner stuck his hand where I dare not and uncovered the little sucker. TFTC!
TFTC took a bit of searching but eventually geohubby got brave enough to reach right in. It was well tucked away.
Boom
Boom
Had a good look and a good think but no luck. Geo senses might be out of whack today, have to leave this one for another time. Thanks for the challenge electro_man.
DNLRW#7 A quick look at GZ but missed it on first and second passes....a detailed search on the third pass and success !!
Pulled up close to GZ. A short walk and the Geo-PS soon said 0.0. A quick search has cache in hand. Thanks again.
Out and about with GKTCRobbo......finally found this one after a previous attempt. Was looking on wrong side! TFTC electro_man!!!
Parked up nearby and walked over to GZ which put me in the middle of the path and I thought to myself - do I go to the left or to the right. After a few minutes search the cache was in hand, signed log and returned it to its hide. TFTC electro_man
Quick stop on our bike ride and spotted the right cave. Found with Happy Jackie
Good to bring along a little person to put their hands in little spots to check. But of fun night caching while waiting for eldest geokid. Tftc.
Found with the Eight is Enough night raid. I popped past this one when it was published around New Years and thats when I first saw two dollar lurking around the traps. I should of got back here sooner but I worked away for a long time and you know how things go.
Thanks electro_man
