Watawieh from Norfolk Island South Pacific. On my way to Dayboro I stopped to look for this one. Now that is a flashlight. TFTC This is my find #6632. These TBs visited: Norfolk Island Flag Tracker the Labrador Found & logged using Cachly for iPhone & iPad

As an Astro type, too much light can be a bad thing! Least there was a cache. Found on the 2024 epic Norfolk Island jaunt. Of course there was caching enroute. This was one of them!!

A layover in Brisbane so a great excuse to grab some caches. Nice oneIn the company of fellow cachers. Thanks to the CO for placing these caches for others to find.

Applied the offset and parked at the gate. Found quickly. Cool cache. A favourite for me!

Over north side with hatzofff on a few selected caches while visiting friends.I can't remember when the last UV cache was that I found. Maybe it was the one off Johnston Road at Browns PLains. There also was on in Victoria I remember from our 2016 trip.Anyhow, using the offsets made this one easier. Enjoyed the bush walk past grasses and daylilies.Log signed and cache replaced as found at 11.32 am on Sunday 11th August 2024. TFTC Orange Crew.

Catching up some caching on the northside. Targeting this multi.TFTMulti Orange Crew

Spending a couple of days up in the local area before attending two events and meeting up with geo friends.Weather was not too cold on the north side of Brisbane, and the countryside was lovely to drive around. Will have to plan another trip up here, as there are still so many more caches available for me to find.Thank you, Orange Crew, for this good multi and the little bush bash to GZ. A favourite point coming your way for the great hide

Drove up the track to the gate and then a small bush bash to GZ. Log was found in a different type of container, signed and returned as found. TFTC Orange Crew

We drove up along the track and then walked in to GZ. With the offset applied it was a quick find here. The log was found and signed and all replaced as found. Thanks for the fun here Orange Crew.

I am a few challenges short of qualifying for a Challenging July Challenge. I also have a number of nearly finished challenges involving multi's. So, the aim today was to complete a nice big loop around the northside of Brisbane picking up Challenges, Multi's and the odd interesting cache along the way.

The easiest multi of the day. Perhaps it is no longer really a multi, but I am not complaining ! A bit of a bush bash and I quickly found the well themed container and nicely hidden logbook.

The return journey to the car offered another opportunity to collect a few choice pieces of firewood for the fire pit tonight. Many thanks Orange Crew

On a beautiful winters morning in south east Queensland I ventured out for a morning of caching working my way north.

Arriving at this target location I had a bit of a bush bash to a likely spot and the sighted something a little out of place.The cache was located quickly and the log extracted ready for signing.

Very pleased to make my mark and returned the cache to its rightful place and back to the car.

A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache again available to be found.

Cheers

Orange Crew I found your cache Let There Be Light... on 10/4/2023, 11:15 am. This is my find 4963 and find # 7 today. Did the calculations and came up with reasonable coordinates. Bush bashed to GZ for a quick and easy find. Strange, I opened the cache but no logbook could be seen. Ah, sneaky, found the logbook, signed it and returned it. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

I attempted to find this one when I was a rookie back in late 2016 or early 2017 but I did not have the required tool. It was only the other day I had another look and I realised things had changed with this one and did the required calculations. Today I was going pass this area and thought why not get this one as I need it for my calendar, so did a quick detour, a bit of a bush bash and there it was hiding away but looking out at me. It has been over 7 months since it was found last. It is in good condition, however I did not find the new log that was left by the last finder, was able to sign my name on the bottom of the paper log that was in the hide.

Thanks for this one, as it had 28 favourites which was my late Dad's favourite number I am giving it another one.

This cache was long time on my to-do list, but Multis aren't our favourite type of caches. Reason: too often we get stuck on something.

So I always like when we can do a Multi in one go. Yes, this was such a Multi - a fav point from me.

We parked the car and went up, a bit of bush bashing, and there was bright light over our heads!

As logsheet plus spare piece of a logsheet are full, we added a new log.

Signed the log on 9/7/22

I was keen to find this cache that has been on my ‘To-Do’ list for quite a while because of one of the attributes, which I need for a challenge. It became time to actually complete the cache now, as I also needed the ‘L’ for the JULY challenge, and I’m shortly leaving the area.

Reading the description was very useful, (although disappointing, as I couldn’t use my new TOTT on the cache), and rather than work out the coords myself, I used an app.

Yesterday, Shazzar66 & I went for a hunt, about 25min before sunset. There were many likely hiding places, although there was lots of weeds and vines that had overrun the area. Needless to say, we couldn’t find the cache.

After contacting the CO, I discovered that the app hadn’t worked out the coords correctly(!), and we were out by 15 meters or so. With renewed coords, Shazzar66 and I met this afternoon and found the cache pretty quickly.

Thanks to the CO for his quick response, to help put me out of my misery and get another tick on my list of attributes yet to find. TFTC

#3 for the day. 2nd go at this one with Duppers. Co- ords were a little out yesterday so we were back here today. Cool cache.

Let There Be Light...
D 2.0 T 2.0 Regular Multi-cache

A very enjoyable day with Domsky Dou chasing 6 multis in a day for a challenge they have signed while they attended a Mega way down south, while I was trying to complete my 6th loop. The Young's Crossing was closed today as they released water from the dam. Traffic was aweful at Petrie with all the diversion and road improvement but we still managed to have a good time.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here Orange Crew. We had Mr Gadget with us, we would have been able to use the necessary TOTT. We decided to walk from the posted coordinates (because obviously we didn't read the description beforehand ) and made the ascent then bush bashed to the cache while Mr Gadget drove and found a much easier way.
Adding a FP for the fun, and help throughout the day. It felt like you were with us today!

Now that was a quick multi. It always pays to read the description.
This said, it was still a steep incline up to GZ. It looks like no one‘s been here for a while and the grass is long and the golden orb weavers were perfectly positioned at eye height.
And there suddenly, was the light! Fortunately the battery was still working and so we could sign the log.
Thanks OC!
Domsky

This one has been on my list for some time but never get the opportunity to visit. Had a couple of spare mins this arvo so headed here for a look around. I had spoken to the CO recently about this cache as one of the attributes has been hard to come by for me. Arriving near GZ I saw a bit of a geo path although with all the recent rain it was starting to get a bit hard to spot. Followed it through to the hiding spot which was quick to find.

This type of log I have never come across before and it took me a while to work out what was happening here but the grey matter in my head finally kicked in and I was able to sign my name. Great cache and a fun walk in. Would have been cool to follow through from start to finish when it was first released.

Thanks Orange Crew. Another quality, on theme hide and another favourite point coming your way.

I visited this years ago and didn’t have the necessary TOTT. Now I see that it’s not necessary and I made a quick find. Thanks for the cache

Family day out.

Love me a good multi especially when there's not much walking involved.

Great container. TFTH

love the log book ... new exactly where to look

out on a family morning out.

found reasonably easily once at gz.

found with team b

Arrived at gz to find the well tethered cache. Couldn’t find the logbook at first and it wasn’t until we read the description That we looked more closely. Clever hide.?Replaced as found. TFTC

Drove as close as we could to GZ before going cross country the rest of the way. I had originally targeted this find today knowing my companion had the required tool, only to discover on reading the description that it was no longer needed. A quick bit of maths and the finals were input. The perfect cache container awaited us neatly tucked away at GZ. The perfect logbook container also awaited us although we made harder work of finding that than we should have. TFTC Orange Crew

What a lovely and apt container, very well tethered, too! We are not sure that we followed the path in, per se, but we did navigate our way successfully to GZ where we quickly spotted the geocache. What was much less quick, however, was locating the logbook! We disassembled far too many elements before we realised exactly where the sneaky little sheet of paper was, but even then, when we did find it, it was too full to sign so we have added a small sheet of paper in with it.  It was delightful to stand there with the sun streaming in through the foliage, casting everything in a beautiful dappled light, surrounded by the smells of the Australian bush. We were intrigued by the large amount of random building material scattered around the area, though!
TFTC, Orange Crew. =^.^=

Today, after spending the morning performing some house unpacking, I decided to utilise the nice weather and return to Dayboro to find a few more geocaches that I had missed during the Easter Mega weekend that had such poor weather. Subsequently, a few of the series visited included the *We️Geo*, *Pacman*, and *Geosaurus*. A few other interesting puzzles and tree fishing geocaches were also visited, before I ran out of time and needed to return home. A much more nicer and enjoyable area when it isn't raining cats and dogs!

I noted this multi-cache whilst driving into Dayboro, and only saw that due to WP1 having issues, it was just a simple projection to GZ. Rats, if only I had known before my drive. However whilst I was at lunch at the bakery, I sat down, and performed the necessary computation. Hence, whilst driving back to home, I thought I would just have time to make this my final geocache visit. I parked up, and walked through the bush and up the hill/cliff, through to GZ. At least there, it was a reasonably quick find. A nicely themed container, and having seen a cache camouflage like this before, it didn't take long to access the logbook. The cache container was in good shape, but the logbook is now very full. It is a shame to hear about WP1, and what would have been themed nicely with this multi-cache, but thanks for keeping this one alive nevertheless. Thanks Orange Crew for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Stopped in today to find this one which we had solved a few weeks ago.
Nice container and a very sneaky log book.
Left a TB and added our names to the log.
TFTC Orange Crew

TFTC. We are still at Dayboro showgrounds enjoying the weather and the caching. This morning we headed out to do a loop around Lake Samsonvale. Before reaching the Lake we stopped here to find this nice little multi. No issues finding the way in

Tftc Orange Crew, very cool. Fave point for this one

This one had us bamboozled for a minute or two. It has come in very handy since we got home as we had another of them and found it quickly this time. Thanks for the cache and a hide we'd not seen.

Hoping that the weather is better than it was yesterday as we would really like to get a few caches whilst we are interstate. Thanks for this clever hide. We have now seen one of these since we got back.

Gotta love the occasional bearing cache.

Following the nearby CITO and a mandatory coffee stop I decided to hunt down a few more caches in the area.

I had started this one some time ago but turned around as i had not seen the obvious track into near where the cache lies. Cache was actually out of the hide in the open when I arrived. I was worried that the log was missing but after thinking about things it soon became obvious where the log was to be found.

Nice hide

I’d done my homework before arriving here today with Blkthunder in the new car/truck/Ute....

Blkthunder stayed with the new car/truck/Ute on the phone and to commiserate that we’d been “off-road” in less than an hour...

A nicely themed cache... have another fave point...tftc...

Found it

Big Dum Dum don't know navigation. If someone understands please message me. Would love to learn

Too much thinking for my potato brain.

Sad

Today I headed out with El Peregrinos with a plan to have lunch at Dayboro and grab a few caches along the way. We found an assortment of caches along the way and this was one of them. A few interesting events along the way made the day even more enjoyable.

I'd done the projection for this one and after parking nearby we headed off towards GZ. Lovely morning for a stroll in the bush and it wasn't long and we were at GZ and the interesting cache was in hand. There was a bit of a double take before a lightbulb moment and the log was retrieved and signed and cache returned as found.

It gets a FP from me for the adventure.

TFTC Orange Crew

The cache was quickly found at GZ. I signed the log and returned to as found. TFTC

There is no need for a long bush bash. It even says so in the hint!

Tried to project on my GPS but was not happy with result. Now home and determined that it was correct after all. I just should have bush bashed.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC *520* streak. *3061* Finds

I was asked to assist with logistics for an oz_bean_counter epic day with goals, and, well, I love to plan stuff. And the weather was pretty good for our attack, and the date was spot on for an anniversary of caching - have at it! We hit the road as soon as the local coffee shop opened, and our next stop was here.

Having actually completed the primary goal of the day, and it being still early afternoon, a secondary goal was hatched - and quickly determined back out to Dayboro was the path to take. This was the next stop heading back out. Pity that the wp1 is no more, although good news since I hadn't packed my UV tool for today. We did the calculations (this sort of mathematics is fine) and headed off to GZ. We didn't find a track as such, but we kind of didn't look as a straight line worked fine for us. No issues at GZ, although a lesson was learned by one of us.

A great continuation of an amazing day.
Thanks Orange Crew for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #7723}*

Oh wow, what a day!

I had dreams of one day completing the unique difficulty / terrain challenge. After COVID struck, there was ample time to solve puzzles, and before I knew it, I had solved enough to generate 25 unique DTs in the general Dayboro area that I could tackle (plus a few randoms thrown in for good measure).

After acquiring the services of a driver with a passion for planning (neeeeerrrrrrrdddddddd) a vague dream turned into a plan - and today that plan turned into a reality! But to put the icing on the cake - today is also the 20th anniversary of geocaching (blue switch day!), and, because we were so incredibly efficient (i.e. talented :p) at finding the first 25 caches for the day, we decided to one-up and go for 50-in-a-day, a milestone I had not yet achieved. Very epic! I am smiling from ear to ear. Thanks so much Pprime and OC for the driving, planning, COing and general PAFing that got me to this pretty awesome triple milestone.

Having now completed the drinking of the first celebratory wine, it is time to reminisce through logging. The day started at 6 am with coffee, and included a mandatory trip to the dayboro bakery for pepper steak pie (oooh yes, just perfect). All up a thoroughly enjoyable day, with beautiful blue skies, at times brisk winds, cool temps, and great company. Today, it became evident that I can't sing, but I do anyway, with reckless abandon.

Alrighty, enough rambling. This was a quick puzzle to solve. Arriving at GZ, I nearly discarded the cache. Oooops! Thankfully my caching partner in crime gave me a bit of a nudge and encouraged me to look a little closer. Oh, that's the log! Whoopsy. Yeah, let's put that back where it belongs, after signing, of course. Have a FP for the adventure!

All is good at GZ! TFTC. TB visits x5.

A nice quick find after attending the Look (Again) Before You Leap event.

Thanks!!

I came out this way with my partner yesterday trying to get the coords for this cache, but she got too impatient, so we left. So after work today I asked Chamad if he wanted some unloving for a challenge he’s doing and he jumped at the opportunity, so we meet up by GZ and wandered into the unknown and with a quick check here and there we located the container, which is rather fitting for the cache name.

I’ve dropped off a TB, which is barely holding it together, so I’m not sure if it’ll last much longer.

FP coming from me. Loved the container.

Find #630 - TFTC

Call came in and I was off. Geonayfee made the find and cache all signed. Another year to add to the challenge tftc. a fp for me

Now enabled. There is no longer a physical WP, instead use the offset provided in the description to calculate GZ

Reports received that WP1 is missing. Will check soon

After setting up camp at the Dayboro showgrounds for a few days we are having a wonderful time meandering around this beautiful area. A wonderful variety of hides and we love the creative ones. Thankyou Orange Crew for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area Thankfully Ian and Penny had the tool we needed to reveal this cache. Fav point alloc.

Hi there Orange Crew.

Today's venture had us heading out from our camp at Dayboro Showground to spend another afternoon caching with Liz & Bruce. All up we found 16 caches & DNF'd 1 in this cache run.

Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia. We awarded this cache a favourite point for the ingenious cache design.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache about 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

So - it was pure happenstance that I :

a) Had said item a la illumination with me
b) That I even attempted cache this this morning

I found the first waypoint okay - but apparently my illumination device was not up to the task. I found a cloth bag that I had my head with the waypoint and the item of illumination. Nada Bah. Damn cheap ass item of illumination

So I decided to try and jetski by deduction. It took me a considerable amount of time to search. I could tell porky pies and claim that "I found it all by my own self".... but I didn't. Someone did help me. It turns out I asked for help 19m from GZ. Now I gotta say - that's not a bad effort on my behalf It took me a while to locate the log. That's not a bad place for it at all. Everything was in good order

I enjoyed this one - even if I didn't quite do it as intended. TFTC Orange Crew

So unprepared... Found the first bit though.

What an interesting multi this was our first time using the light and then I loved the cache container and it’s inside component. Definitely a favourite from us TFTC

The last time I was in the area my tool was too dim so I went to Smiggle and bought a flash new one! With tool in hand and consistent rain I started to ascend once more. My shoes were no match for the muddy embankment so I slipped covering my dress, knees and iPhone in mud

I wanted to do this one for my 500th so Quesera and I met up with Bear0503 and worked up the cords from the first waypoint and off we went, amazingly we read the instructions and took the logical way and found this great cache and the log book which as a nice touch. Thank you for placing this cache here for us to find

Sharpem chose this cache for her 500th and we met up with Bear0503. We had the correct tool and we took turns to see if we all had same numbers.Amazingly we read instructions properly and took the logical way to gz which is so unlike us. we were praising ourselfs all the way. At gz we watched sharpem find the cache and we all ooohed and aaahed at the nice added twist. definitely a fp. we found a few more caches then celebrated at Lake samsonvale. Thankyou for the fun

Did the first part of his multi ages ago with the kids but we declared that is was too close to dusk for retrieval. So the final has sat on my phone for some time, however with extra kids at the house for a couple of weeks I wanted something quick - not completely sure if this would be an accurate description of the pickup as I gingerly made my way counting down the metres and then how to open!!

The UV attribute mysteriously disappeared from my profile... I needed another to fill the horrific gap in my stats. This was the closest one to home, so I took a drive this afternoon to grab it. When I arrived, my $1 tool (including delivery) decided to not work! A bit of shaking and I could soon see the numbers. Great cache container and log book holder. Deserved a favourite point. TFTC!

This was our first cache today, we needed a certain attribute that could be acquired here. I had packed my special tool ($2 from ebay ) and we soon had the final coords in our phones.
We couldn't locate a track so we both started from different ends and met at the cache. Loved the container, something different! We puzzled over the log for a few minutes before something sparked!

Out with Wombles today and this was first on the list, we came here today for 2 reasons. 1st one for the UV attribute which I recently realised that the one we had had disappeared and 2nd one was we had previously had tried this one and at that time we didnt have the special tool we needed. So we got what we needed and then proceeded to gz. Once there it was a quick find but I did get spooked by some nearby Kangaroos jumping through the nearby surroundings. Loved the cache and loved the log. TFTC

There have been a few caches in the area which I've left until I had acquired the appropriate tool. Well yesterday at a supermarket that has popular wednesday and saturday sales I managed to pick up a tool that could be used at this cache.

Found the waypoint and extracted the coordinates with the tool. Took a track heading in the right direction, past a derelict trailer and onto the final spot. Sourced the light and had a second look before finding the log. Thanks for the cache Orange Crew.

It was a cloudy, wet with some showers during the day and we had changed our original plans of possible kayaking or doing other caches. Even as we were backing out the drive way our plans changed again as Nyssaflutterby was going to join us. We picked Nyssa up and this was fourth on our list today. But oh dear, we had left our special equipment back in Tassie, not too sure why it wasn't in our geotag. Well male membsec won't forget it again after a good talking to but....... we had some gifted people who could source the info without the special tool. I couldn't see a thing but also had my own way of retrieving what I wanted. Nyssa disappeared into the mist and male membsec was sulking somewhere when I retrieved the decimals. Yeah.......and off we went. Wow, like the container.

TFTC Orange Crew and a favourite point from us.

Out and about with membsec creating a few smileys! It was a wet, drizzly kind of day but we didn't let that stop us. Unfortunately we had both forgotten to pack our handy, dandy tool required for this one While I went off into the cloudy distance, finding lots of really lovely vacant hidey holes. Membsec worked their magic and ended up with a final GZ. I was nearly there

We made our way to the final cache location and found a very fun container and log. Happily we left our marks and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache OC

At the first way point we discovered a well-hidden pot and we knew what had to be done with it but in the bright sunshine we couldn't quite make out the numbers involved. We retreated to the back seat of the car where I told my daughter to hold the item while I got out the special $8 tool to see if it would cut the mustard. The container had a little bit of mud on it and there was no way she was holding it. C'mon, harden up.

The back seat was dark enough to find some numbers but still we checked it a dozen times to be sure. Looks like we have a winner!

The next step was for the learner driver to turn around on this road which was an adventure before overshooting the mark on the way back, only for another complex manoeuvre to be learnt the hard way. I tell her to just pull into the access road in the wife's CX5. We go a little way before we parked and it was suggested that I would have to reverse us out of danger. My daughter is having none of this. A great caching trick that everyone needs to know is how to get out of trouble when you've parked in the wrong spot.

A great cache was found and I took some photos to text back to the rest of the team. Next time they might get out of the car to help. A favourite point for something different and enjoyable. tftc

Guess what???? We checked the attributes, we are on our way to becoming real cachers

Find #1980 at 10:48 while killing time waiting for MissGeosie to stop horsing around.

The waypoint was.. difficult... in the bright daylight but I eventually managed to get what I needed from it. Let there be less light next time.....

Arriving at GZ (after removal of some very questionable reading material nearby), I spied the container easily. Had to laugh at this one.

Now... where's the log? Fortunately, I realised what the game was here and had it in hand quickly. Nice work.

This one gets an FP for the theme and containers...

Thanks for the cache, Orange Crew.

Out and about today with IolantheK to find all of the 'We Love Geo' - Heart Geo-Art.
There are some fun puzzles in there with a few I have seen before.
We found them all. And I found a few extra trads as we went around. [^]
All done in 5 hours.
Good thing IolantheK had the necessary tool.
Thanks for the cache.

I was driving past and saw this icon and decided to have a look. After finding WP1 I realised that I needed a UV light. I lent mine to someone and didn't get it back so I'll have to return.

Heading out to play Pacman. Collecting a few on the way to Dayboro.

I was sort of prepared for this one. but my torch had been accidentally left on in my bag. Batteries only just working. [xx(] I struggled with the WP, but there was only one number that I could not make out at all and it was a final digit. Not to worry I will be close enough.

Off to GZ and a short hunt revealed the correct place. Took the TB to move on.

Nice spot for a cache. We found a few likely spots but success was ours

Enjoyed this one for the July challenge. At the first wp the S co ordinates were a little unclear but obviously it worked because gz was very accurate. Like the twists with this one. More like this please. Tb drop.

CO check and maintenance.

This cache has received a new tether under the OCCULT programme (Orange Crew Container Upgrade & Line Tethering).

Carry on!

After a number of notes indicating the waypoint was unreadable, I made a new WP and replaced the old one today.

I got the old one home, and ran it under my UV torch and it read perfectly well. Remember, you must use a UV torch, and if you have problems reading it in the outside environment, try it under some dark shade.

Fantastic effort, OC!

Managed to get some nice coordinates from WP1, but not after nearly loosing it deep in a certain 'natural structure' - Took some cunning and some tools to pull it out! PHEW! Disaster averted.

Got to the final and took a LOT of head scratching before the penny dropped. Great little twist at the end!
Easy favourite point from me!

Selva Girls had told me about an unsuccessful trip to this cache as she did not have the required tool. Since I was in possession of said tool, I offered to meet up after work to complete it. This afternoon I arrived early, and finding what was required at WP1 whipped out the handy dandy tool to reveal....not much after performing gymnastics to find "the right light" first near gz for WP1, then in the car (I bet the few cars who passed me were confused ) when Selva Girls arrived I was none the wiser. An SOS to the very helpful CO saved the day and we were soon on our way to GZ. Loved the container and the added surprise, take a favourite point for both of these, and the whole concept of the cache. Tftc (and the help!) Orange Crew

I had been here previously, only to discover that I am not in possession of the required tool. (This is something that I need to address). On a recent caching day, I mentioned to stortigirls that I did not have the tool. She told me that she did and suggested that we meet up after work today for a joint attack on this cache. When I arrived, stortigirls had already been to WP1 and was attempting to get the required info. We were having no luck utilising the tool that she had, so she messaged the CO. The CO was very helpful and we were soon wandering off to the next WP. Once there, the cache was quickly located and the log signed. I love how everything fits to the theme. FP from me. Thanks for the cache.

Following the nearby event by the CO, Rhyssa6 and I had obtained the clue. But our equipment was not playing very well with us. IolantheK to the rescue! We had what we needed and set off. A short walk up and over and we found a very apt container. I knew where the log book was... seen this before! Log signed and we were on our way home! TFTC Orange Crew

Out for a short drive with NurseyJulie and IolantheK after attending the nearby Leap Day event. IolantheK had already found this one so NurseyJulie and I headed off to find the first WP and get the needed information. Unfortunately our 'tools' just wouldn't work well enough for us. Luckily IolantheK had a much better one and we soon had the information we needed to locate the cache.

Once at ground Zero the container was an easy find and we soon had our names in the log.

We decided to go out and visit this cache.
We had the special tool in hand and arrived at GZ.
When we retrieved the first WP and using our tool could not read the numbers.
They were just purple spots. It may have been moisture got in or with people reading putting their fingers on the film. We had to resort to a PAF and the coordinates were given as we explained what had happened.
We headed to GZ and soon were at the final.
Cache retrieved and then I could not find the log.
Then I remembered.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Orange Crew All good with this cache

There have been quite a few Orange Crew hides around my house lately that I have needed to clean up on. This is one that I was unable to get to when it published. However, being Australia Day, this was the perfect time to head out this way and pick up two Orange Crew caches that I haven't found yet. My gpsr told me to go to the middle of the road for WP1. However, I did notice a geotrail that led straight to a certain object just in the bush. I quickly located the container, but then realized, as usual, I was woefully unprepared. Thinking, thinking...ah yes...my sunnies are uv coated. Holding the plastic strip up to the light with my sunnies on proved useless. Turning the strip this way and that, I just managed to make out some numbers that correctly led me to WP2. Thankfully there were no long tubular slitherers in sight, but I did get a nice orb spider sandwich as I wasn't looking as carefully as I should have while walking. It was probably more repulsed at being in my mouth than I was that it was in my mouth. Container was quickly located and log signed. A very enjoyable multi. TFTC OC.

# 1263 - An unexpected midweek call from IolantheK and on the go we were yet again. IolantheK had her plan of attack worked out as usual which included a few caches that I could use for my challenges. Isn't she sweet?

This was a cute little multi. I liked it particularly, because it was short and sweet in the hot weather that I don't seem to handle as well as before. IolantheK happened to have THE tool and the good eyesight necessary! Hence, the next step was easy. Loved the containers at the end and for that a FAV from me.

Out and about again with Dutchie1950 My list of 11 caches for today took us from Deception Bay to Dayboro, but they included a few that she would find useful for a Challenge she is working on so we arranged to meet up this morning.

Happily I had a read of the Description of this one yesterday, so was well prepared [^] We missed the WP on our first sweep, but a better look produced the goods. It took some effort to work out the numbers, but were soon on our way. Loved the container at the final, and the extra kick in the tail was cool. Very appropriate! TFTC, Orange Crew, and a favourite point from me.

Great cache! Everyone seems to be using "that" container lately. I wonder who started that trend? Also the second one of those other containers I've seen in the wild. TFTC and the rare attribute.

Joint *FTF* with Djmccullagh @ 10:35.

We had just started back out of the driveway to begin the January Challenge....when BING! I feel like we'll never finish the January challenge!

We got to WP1 easy enough but where is the clue? Checked and checked and then 'oh - there it is'.

Off to WP2 - again this was easy enough to get to and the find was easy but where the devil is the log book?! Searched and searched and came up short. DJ had a quick chat with the CO and sent us in the right direction. I knew there was something suspicious about that! Signed and places back.

2TF with Slow Puncture. After grabbing joint ftf at the nearby Logjam we all jumped in the car together and headed back to grab this one. A little creativity as we had no emission tool with us (oops yes there was one left back in my car by side of road at Logjam), we managed to work out the required info. Another quick race up to GZ only to see djmccullagh and family heading back to their vehicle. Oh well, after a quick chat with them we headed on our way to complete our mission and were not at all disappointed with our find. A second fantastic container for the day - hmmm OrangeCrew it isn't nice that you haven't shared your $70million lotto win with some of your fellow cachers! Yes we've sussed you out!! . Thanks for another enjoyable adventure and cache OrangeCrew.

Sunday. Slow Puncture were having a nice Sunday breakfast at North Lakes when Ministro went beserk with the publishing

Following the last cache find of CO the OC's, we thought we would have a go at this one - it is just nearby. 1MinnieMoo, OneMinnieMoo Jr and OneGiantPanda ditched their car and came with us for the ride. Luke dropped them off to climb the hill whilst he went back to investigate what he thought was an access road a little way back.

When Luke found the access road and bashed his way to the end of it, he found our group talking to both McCullagh's, who had beaten us to the punch [xx(] Curses! After a bit of a chinwag, the group set off and found the hide - noice container again - and then had a good chuckle once we worked out where the log actually was

BTW, OneMinnieMoo Jr should now be known as "Omen Innuendo" But that is a story for her or her mum to tell

This was the 2nd of 2 caches found on today's leg of the trip.

Thanks [Blue]Orange Crew[/Blue], for showing us this place.

Joint FTF. 10:35. MTF
