Clever hide. Took us 5 mins or so.TFTC

Up here on the Sunshine Coast for a couple of days. Arrived at GZ and after a short search, cache was found and log signed.TFTC

In Landsborough for a few days and we started off by caching around town. Thanks to the COs for the hides.

On our Gold and Sunshine Coast holiday and decided to stop at what was an interesting oppportunity for a cache. If it wasnt for this cache we wouldnt have ever known about the historical land mark sitting in plain site at a well utilised public transport facility. Thanks dickbev for giving us a reason to stop. TFTC

Cool container. Thanks for the great cache.

I was on a mission to grab some traditional numbers for a challenge I am actively working on - with a deadline. So a morning was organised with Gcoven to catch up and hunt some numbers. I did a search for caches that neither of us had found and werent too far away and we landed up in this area. Without too much of a plan we headed up picking of the caches as we came across them on the map. Had success with all bar one and even managed to find a few that had the last find was a DNF - normally on a numbers run I would have excluded those, so it was pleasing that we were able to find them. Also managed to find two rock wall caches - I should buy my lotto ticket now. All in all a very good and successful morning that reduces my needed numbers by a decent amount

Both of us had been unsuccessful here in the past. Today I took note of the meticulous search comment from a previous log and after a few pokes, located it! A very interesting location indeed. Tftc

After having some dinner for date night we thought we would knock off some caches before training it home. This one had us stumped, but persistence was key and we had this sneaky cache in about 15 minutes - well done!

Found on this beautiful day in Brisbane Arrived at GZ and it wasn't long before the cache was in our hands.Clever hide Thank you for the cache and bringing us here

Nearly gave up on this one. Process of elimination. Fav point from us.Very creative.TFTC!

Sneaky hide. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTH

nice hide ... time for home now

Had a look around. Could find it

Great hide in an interesting area! TFTC .

Thankyou! Second found cache in three years thanks for sparking my interest again Muchly appreciated

Found with Bamse (BM)!

A return adventure for look number two. X didnt mark the spot but we werent too far off. Tftc

What an interesting piece of history! Thanks for highlighting it for us, otherwise we would never have known about it. Spent some time at the museum as well, so we are know acquainted with Landsboroughs history

Thanks for this one, surprisingly I have only ever found a few hidden like this.

Really struggled with this one. Scoured the logs for clues but still couldnt find it, even with the help of our phones as tools. Looked for at least 30 mins with CoolAsaPickel. Any info would be appreciated

Should have followed my gut, checked here first but didnt go along enough!Great container

After dropping my brother of at the train station.I checked for a cache and hubby founded using his phone as a camera as he did not want to put his fingers in any places.

100th cache. I enjoyed learning about the history behind this caches placement location. The cache container is so unique I have never seen a cache like it before. TFTC.

Odloveno pi cest na mstn ndra. adky za pknou keku a ukzku zajmavho msta. Zaslou si FP.Zdravm z 4esk republiky.Caught on the way to the local train station. and thanks for the nice cache and example of an interesting place. He deserves FP.Greetings from the Czech Republic.

Checked this one out today after a recent DNF, cache still in place waiting to be found.

First stop on a school holiday caching journey. Not a great start. Looked and felt everywhere and read the comments. Did some climbing but not luck.

Found TFTC

was having lunch with my mate at the pub and we came and looked for a while then bingo !! she found it . tricky hide but great spot

Ready to be found, when returning the cache to its hide please ensure its the right way round and is easy accessible for the next finder. Thank you.

A very tricky hide which took us some time to find. The cache is in good condition. Signed and replaced. Thanks Dickbev for placing this wonderful cache.

After scratching around for 10 mins eventually a finger was laid on the cache - tricky hide indeed will need to return with an appropriate TOTT in order to sign the log - thanks for placing and maintaining the cache

Disabling the cache as it has been returned incorrectly which makes it virtually impossible to retrieve, will fix soon.

Note to self: cache is not hidden in a nang canister.

Had a pretty solid half-hour look, but then muggles started showing up in droves with the commuter traffic, forcing me to retreat. I will be back to Landsborough station, however, and with that will come attempt two B)

After a Big Day at Australia Zoo the Bus dropped us back at the station, so we couldn't resist finding this cache as it was so close. Took a bit to find it and if it was in any further we might night have been able to get it but all good in the end.

While waiting for the Uber to bring us to the coast, I saw a good opportunity to find this one. It took a while although I recognized the best hiding spot immediately (actually second hiding spot, but this was one was better for a micro). The muggles were irritating, but in the end landed the cache. Thanks from the Netherlands for the story (never would have looked at the plaque) and the maintenance.

Find 12 of 40 on a full day of caching, driving down from Maleny on the old road into Landsborough, then getting the bikes out for a 30km ride around Landsborough and down to Beerwah and back, then driving back up via Peachester picking off as many caches as we could on the way. An excellent day out with some brilliantly constructed caches to enjoy.

Not sure about the previous logs. Cache was in a good spot, fully intact and the only written log since replacement was by noelwas. Happy to extract this one and not make it harder!

TFTC dickbev!

Found after muggles had discarded the log nearby. Placed in a likely spot closest to my GPS reading. I missed a wonderful opportunity to meet the cache owner as I was traveling with my son who was taking time away from his business to pick up parts.

We had just had lunch over in the pub then come over to look at the bomb shelter, Wow a train tooted it’s whistle just as I found it and scared the shit out of me. TFT unusual Cache.

Headed out and about with the Slow Punctures today. The plan didn't go to plan, which was good, because we had a great time despite the plan!!! This was one of many caches grabbed on the drive from Brisbane to Landsborough to Maleny and on to Mooloolah and back home. Epic day, and thanks for making it better by providing some caches to find!

Thanks

Nice quick easy find

Found with Crafty Dusty and the geopooches. Fascinating piece of history! Fave from me. TFTC!

I have replaced the cache with hopefully a more robust one, still hid in the same place.

Found but not signed as my bf "killed" it. Sorry....

Out today with the rest of the MummaBear and the cubs gang + Nathan and Alyce.

We headed to the sunny coast gathering caches for this months challenge and some oldies along the way

Signed the log as MB&C

Thanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment and giving us a reason to stop.

Found with DFC_JLK2019, MummaBear66, Captain Monkey 96, T1NY96 + Nathan_and_Alyce.

Out and about with MummaBear & the cubs exploring the wonders of the Sunny Coast and surrounding areas.

The goal for the day was to work towards this months challenge, so the main focus was to find caches with high favourite points and any others we’d come across.

We had a great day out and I’m sure we’ll be back again soon as we’re not even close to completing this months challenge.

Thanks for bringing us here.

Since I was coming up the coast on my motorcycle, I met up Duppers and jumped in her geo-car for a few caches today.

We decided to hit a few around Landsborough before I headed off as I was up to visit family in Aura.

A quick find in a likely spot.

This morning, Shazzar66 was coming up to the Sunny Coast to visit some relo’s, so we decided to meet up to do some Ewen Maddock Dam caches. Because she was riding her motorbike up the highway, we decided to meet at Landsborough and just take my car, so that she wouldn’t need to take her bike on the dirt roads.

Shazzar66 only had her motorbike boots, however, which weren’t particularly suited to bushwalking, so we decided to find some nearby caches instead.

Being close by, after we stopped for coffee, this was our first find of the day. It didn’t take us too long to find. The log was signed and we were off to the next one. Interesting spot here, dickbev. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. TFTC

Interesting cspot- I never knew .
Tftc

Searched high and low along the obvious places and not so obvious places. Read the hints, read the logs but nothing helped.

We looked in the fence, in the air holes on the front and on the roof but didn’t find it. Hopefully it’s just our looking was deficient

Checked out this arvo and the cache is still in place waiting to be found

All the time I've been here I never noticed the air raid shelter. TFTC

Hahaha clever very clever. After reading some extra clues it was located easily. The mirror clue was gold. Tftc

We're just about to give up on this one didn't want to look too obvious with 3 of us searching, saw somebody said they used a mirror and knew my hunch was right, I'd checked but missed it. Girlfriend went for one last look using front of phone camera as a mirror, 30 seconds and bam there it is.

Any further then 2nd space away from the wall and your too far

Found it, very clever spot

Thanks for the heads up. Found it after a music session at the Steamin’ Cup. Sorry we forgot our pen.TFTC

This is not a 1.5. Second time searching and no go.

After the recent DNF I have checked on the cache and it's still there waiting to be found.

Super cool! Thanks for showing us what was here. Found with a thorough inspection. Great little container.

After crossing through the rather confusing intersection nearby and waiting out the rain in the car, I came out to find this one. I was expecting it to be quite difficult, but for me it was a short systematic search. Log signed and replaced as found, thanks for the cache dickbev!

Drove past a million times never knew about that bunker, interesting, just had a feeling where it was hidden, found it pretty quick, tftc

Nice bit of history i never knew about, thank you.

after about four attempts we finally secured the goods!! felt pretty good ngl after exhausting every where we could think of, a circle back on our thinking and my boyfriend finally found it! … i’m just hopefull we hadn’t looked mad searching about the place TFTC !! Finally bested

Must be blind lol

In town for some orienteering over the weekend. First find of the trip after lunch at a nearby cafe. TFTC

School hols have not started well with this DNF.
Hopefully we get the next one to keep the kids interested.

After getting a tip I got the kids back for another look and with some subtle hints they found it. We didn't sign as it was very full and little fragile. Thank you so much as hopefully it will be a full holidays of looking outdoors now
Tftc

Took a while but we persisted. Interesting place. TFTC

Found it great spot quick and easy crazy looking container having a great day gone 4 for 4

Easy find if u think about it
Tftc

Found sneakily hidden in a usual hiding spot at gz. Gwen from The X-Trailers found whilst I checked a bit further along in same type of place.
Could tie your shoe laces if someone walks by . TFTC

Tftc dickbev, had to read a full logs to get hands on the prize here.
Hint threw me off a bit.
Nice hide, another favourite point

Today, the plan was a kayak paddle on Lake Baroon to attend the *Leisurely Obi Obi Paddle* event. The weather turned out great (quite eerie in the morning), and we had a friendly group of 15 kayakers who paddled Lake Baroon and down Obi Obi Creek.
Following the event/paddle, I took a walk around Maleny before grabbing lunch at its award-winning bakery. I then spent the last few hours of my afternoon visiting a few oldies in the area and darting around a few lookout spots, before then returning home via Mount Mellum, Skippy Park, and Beerwah where I completed the *Beerwah.* Adventure Lab.

I was running slightly ahead of time for my destination, and reading ahead, it looked like this cache may not take too long to find. Famous last words! The structure was pretty cool and interesting to read the plaque, and then my attention turned to the cache. I certainly would not have said it was an easy find, and I probably spent 5-10 minutes searching around. Even when I narrowed down the likely hiding technique, the cache wasn't in the most logical spot, requiring trial and error before eventually coming across it. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Interestingly, there seemed to be a discrepancy between those who have logged this cache online, and the logbook? Thanks dickbev for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Not to hard to find tftc

TFTC. A nice quick find when I put my thinking cap on. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley and staying at Beerwah. Here to visit relatives. An interesting site.

dickbev I found your cache Bombs Away (2) on 12/6/2022, 2:45 pm. This is my find 3509 and find # 10 today. Sneaky little hide, took a little bit of a thinking time. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Needed a holiday away so caught up with nibletricecakes and grabbed a few caches along the way. TFTC ??

With a break in the rain this morning K8TYBEE and I thought we would head out for breakfast and a cache. This was a clever little hide and cache design in this lovely little town. A fav for me. Thanks for the cache!!

After a recent DNF, I have just been up to the station and the cache is still there waiting to be found.

So disappointed we didn't find it. We didn't go into the garden, but had a good look around. We will look next time we are at Landsborough.

After a recent DNF, I have just been up to the station 10.30am and the cache is still there waiting to be found.

Came back for a second thorough look today after failing to find the cache the first time. But as to my surprise I still couldn't find it. I checked all simple and even some harder spots but still came back with nothing. Would definitely check out this cache to see it it is still here

Possibly stolen as found on old geochache account and no longer there

With fng_affl, and had to resort to a mirror, aha there it is, but then had to grab another TOTT, to extract the cache, which had been returned up, more than needed all is in good condition here today, Thanks dickbev

Out today to keep some caches to help with my "Hidden Dates" challenge.
This is cache 4 for the day.
I think I might have gotten the old version of this... Not sure.
Anyway, walked in, avoiding the garden as per the clues.
Looked at the plaque and got my hit of history for the morning.
Looked in all the obvious places. Nope.
Started on the not so obvious, and there it is.
Log is in excellent condition. Noe has my name in it. And back to its hiding spot.

Thanks

Tried twice this morning but no find. Cycle touring east now. Tftc even though unfounded.

It's customary every school holiday to make a trip to the Maleny Dairies for some delicious ice cream. We'd filled up on ice cream, had a walk and on the way home, we swung by for this cache.

Once at GZ, I had a good idea of where the cache could be but stopped one potential hidey spot before where the geomonsters picked up the search. A team effort.

Thanks!!

That’s a great little hide. On the way to 250 9 to go tftc

After a recent DNF, I have just been up to the station and the cache is still there waiting to be found.

Not sure if still there

Second time visiting... sister from charters towers travelled here and was the one to help me find it... super hard to find but definitely keep looking on where you think it may be... need to feel around

Took awhile to find. But trust your finger tips and you will find it.

Finding it was the easy part. Working out how to open it with only a few hours of sleep was the hard part. I had hoped to find this yesterday but as the sunset i had to prioritise finding somewhere to safely free camp with my bike. I came back this morning to grab it before riding on.
TFTC

That was clever - def a fav for me! ️

Nice little find after lunch at CJ’s

Always nice to find things that are not usually noticed. TFTC
