Headed south this morning for a few early morning caches After completing a new lab series this morning I made my way to a safe spot to park and quickly found my way to ground zero. The cache was quickly located and removed from its hiding place.Log extracted and my mark made for prosperity. After returning the cache to its hiding place I was off on the next adventure.On my way to a looking major milestone. 10000 with only 13 to getA big thanks to the cache owner for placing this cache for the enjoyment of others.Cheers
I found the other one here so can't go home without this one. Soon at GZ. The cache came to hand. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks RoddyC for continuing the cache and Sewrainbow for hiding. All good with this cache.
Tried searching for a little while whilst not raising suspicion. No luck today. Will try again another day!
After driving all the way to Hyperdome to find a cache with a telephone, I could hardly turn around and drive all the way home without looking for this one too. As soon as I parked and started looking for the cache the smell of cinnamon hit me hard and I had to go off in search of the nearby doughnut shop. I hoped they wouldn't be GF but unfortunately they were and so with a bag of doughnuts in hand, I began my search properly.I read the cache description and the logs and there were so many red herrings that I was walking around in circles and up and down the stairs for some time. Eventually I noticed something a bit unusual and not long after I had it. Turns out it was right near where I was first looking. Well done RoddyC, this is a clever cache!
Out n' About with the CO, checked on this one, still well hidden away, certainly is muggle central, TFTC RoddyC
High off a FTF nearby, I navigated to this cache early this morning. As I drove up, recalling the name of the cache, I thought “oh hell no.” But there was certainly evidence that cachers had been in the area. I stopped and searched for a few minutes before giving up. I need to get some friends into caching because there is no way I’m tackling this alone!
But also, I can’t help but think my approach was too obvious. Time will tell.

It's my Birthday today so I called in sick and decided to go caching instead. I planned on finally hitting the Rat series but had to fuel up before heading bush.
Grabbed some food, a coffee and a car park. Flicked on the app and noticed this one was just around the corner. I didn't look too much into it before driving around the corner but once I did I nearly choked on my breakky wrap with laughter.
Happy Birthday to me, hahaha. I looked for as long as it took to inhale my breakky but I had to go.
Would have loved to kick off the day with a find here but Focket, I gotta Rocket to the bush
Thanks anyway RC, I'll be back

Managed to find this one relatively quickly I thought I was going to be in free dnf this time. Super happy to take this one off in a very high muggle area
Out with Willis007 and we are on our way to the night time event at Beenleigh. This was Willis007’s first event at logan so she must have been excited. Running a little early, I mentioned this cache as I knew where it was now. I had been here once before but did not pursue the find well enough. Given the hint I should try harder and that I was in the right spot, we went back today to try again.
I walked straight up to it and heard it rattle around, yep it was a tight fit. So happy as I managed to get the object free this time and the cache was attached.
We signed the log and returned all as found, then continued on our way to the event, oh via another stop. Thanks for the hide and the fun here.

A quick stop on the way to the Christmas in July event tonight. Trickiest part about this one was getting a park.
Thanks RoddyC for keeping this one alive.

Last time I was searching at the wrong level. Today I walked straight up to it. Thanks for the cache
I’ve been here once before… a couple of weeks ago…. That day I walked away scratching my head… today after mentioning the cache to my Brainstrust I was given a clue… cryptic… it had to be repeated to me…
I had the right idea, I just had to retrieve a tool from the car… tftc…

Second time to try and find this one. Take the higher road, that worked better for me.
Surprised that the cache holds a little moisture considering it’s hiding spot.
Good thing I had a permanent marker to sign the log.
Thanks for all the caches you put around the place RoddyC

Mornings are a good time to be here, just the odd muggle.
Stopped early in the week for a look, had a search of the area and got to know some parts of it fairly well.
Had a think about is and got a nudge confirming my thoughts.
Another early morning and the cache was in my hands.
Replaced the soaked lig with s waterproof one.
Thank you for hiding this geocache RoddyC

Finally!
I've been meaning to find this one since it was published. After a failed quick attempt last week (because I ran out of time before having to go to work nearby) I decided to PAF. Thankfully TeamNuske came to my rescue and kindly gave me a nudge in the right direction.
Thank you so much for placing and maintaining this one. Unfortunately I was unable to sign the log due to water damage but I took a photo as picture proof. If I'm here anytime again soon I'll replace the log!!!
Thanking you!

I’m pretty certain I was looking in the right place, but struggled to figure out exactly what I was looking for. I’ll be back.
I went back, and was thankfully able to find it this time (with a bit of help). Had to wait for a few muggles to pass, but due to the public holiday, I didn’t have to wait long to make my move. Log is completely soaked through, so I wasn’t able to write on it. Very cool cache, thank you!
We tried up, tried down, tried in the middle (had a defiant monkey with me). Ended up having to leave it as defiant monkey was getting impatient.
After the 4th time coming and not finding this one I crumbled and asked for help. Only to realise I was at the wrong level
Was in the area and spotted this one on the map, so decided to give it a crack. Began at the wrong altitude to begin with and then soon tried something different. Fortunately made the find rather quickly, this could be a lengthy search for sure!
Thanks for keeping this one going RoddyC and thanks for the original hide Sawrainbow

Can't get there because too many muggles watch me so next time come again maybe night time !
With RoddyC today setting up a WIG in Logan. No shopping today so it was a quick find and no security guards in site.
Certainly one in a million (and more).

First cache of the day. Having a pre-breakfast smoke outside the shopping center and checked for one of the two caches I knew were here. Well, it turned out I was standing right next to it and something looked like a typical hiding place. Done before the day had even started. Tftc and utv
Woohoo.
Always nice to grab a find after a few DNF's.
Luckily we had a few extra sets of eyes helping us look for this one.
Log signed and replaced.

We searched only about 200,000 so only had a 1 in 5 chance of finding??
Went up, went left, went right but didn't spot it today.

Second time lucky yaa. We took our time this time.. WE could not believe we where right on it the first time and mist it..good hide spot loved it..thtc
Thanks for the cache. We were having a meal in the centre and couldn’t just walk past without a quick search. Found in good order.
Cheers

Doing a bit of night detective work.
Just had dinner here and had to check it out. Happened upon it almost straight away. Third one of these found today/tonight
Technically I shouldn't earn a jewel with this because I found it before the clues but saved it in drafts. I'll find another emerald anyway.

Such a great evening to be out with friends for dinner. Took the time to find this cache before heading home. Log is slightly damp but ok. Thanks for placing the cache for us and others to find.
Cheers and happy caching!

If it wasn’t for an almost insignificant clue in the activities, I doubt I would have found it. TFTC
Success!!!! Thank you RoddyC for the hints and tips . Lost sleep the last few nights over this one . Cheers! Spellzen and Teazr
Thought I was on to something but after a quick message shot off to RoddyC, I found that I had indeed found nothing . Late night shopping made this a muggle filled attempt so cut the search short. Looking forward to finding this one on my next run at it this weekend . Cheers! Spellzen and Teazr.
Looking for ten minutes in the hot sun was all I could give today...I'll be back to try again another day...TFTH!
This cache took us longer to find then all the other caches we did this morning. High muggle area but hey, its fun caching. Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy found. TFTC
Out caching this morning with IolantheK and Richmond Lad before heading heading inside later on when the day gets a bit warmer.
Took a little searching - maybe the heat is finally getting to us - before its hiding spot was found. Thanks RoddyC.

Today I met up with joojoo57 and Richmond Lad to solve some puzzles and gather some caches. As I arrived joojoo had a list of 9 caches we all needed to get, and suggested heading out the door straightaway as the day was expected to heat up! I didn't need any more encouragement
We were a little concerned for the lack of stealthiness here, but all did some searching, and tried not to look too suspicious! It took a while but I eventually used a tool to get access to the container. TFTC, RoddyC.

With a name like that, it's gotta be...... Or maybe not? Can we find it before lunch?
Ah Ha! Gottcha!

Today’s plan was to get a few caches to accumulate more of the souvenirs available for the Hidden Creatures challenge. Met up with gunnie69 at Logan Central to continue our plan for the day. The journey today made our way form Logan Central down to the Loganholme Hyperdome.
Cache 25 of 27 for the day.
Thanks RoddyC for the hunt and the cache!

My heart sank when Ghostgums and I pulled up at GZ as it was literally one in a million... We started the hunt at one level, changed to the other, then after a PAF, returned to the first for a second go. We spent a bit of time at both locations as well...
A nasty, nasty hide on this one but very pleased to have not left it behind. [^]
Cheers Sewrainbow and RoddyC.

After my previous DNF on this one I had it on watchlist and saw that others were finding it easily. I thought I know where it was hiding and I had aborted looking there last time. Today, I headed back to check out the same spot and came with tools. I still could not access that spot so I started looking elsewhere and the first spot that I checked had the cache in it. I don't know why I hadn't checked there last time.

Stortigirls and I had time before a nearby event to look for this cache. I followed the GPSr in the geoomobile, but was unable to find parking right at GZ, as directed. I ended up finding somewhere to park the geomobile close to GZ. Now to work out where GZ actually is. As there were two of us, we split up. I searched my area without luck. As I was turning to leave, I realised that there was a spot that I had not searched. It took a bit of effort to uncover the hiding spot, but I soon had the cache in hand. I added our names to the log, returned the cache to its spot, then we headed off to buy bananas. TFTC
**# 21322** Found on our 2018 mega adventure to ACT, NSW, QLD and beyond.
Another fine Winter day for a trip to Logan for the WWFM event while at Beenleigh for a few days.
Lots of muggles around today and a few more good safe hides.
A quick find here and then on the way to the new mob cache.
Thanks for the cache RoddyC,

Selva Girls and I were meeting up with a group of crazies for an event nearby, and thought we'd have time to tackle this cache before we had to split. She took the high road and I took the low road, and well, I guess the high moral ground is always the better choice, right? Tftc Mr & Mrs RoddyC
Over from NZ, visiting for a few days and hopefully being able to do a couple of flash mob events. After dropping the shopping half off to cruise the Dome, I wandered over to what I thought was GZ. It's always a bit tricky when the GPS says 3 metres away, but there is 4 metres vertical difference in possible hiding locations.
I had an idea what I might be looking for and tried on one level first, without any luck, so decided to change levels. That didn't work out either, so back to plan A for another look. And duh...., why didn't I pay a bit closer attention the first time, as I had the cache in hand in no time at all this time. However, I soon also discovered that I had left the pen back in the cache mobile, so had to make a quick trip back there to sign the log and then casually wandered back past GZ and replaced safe and secure, unnoticed by any muggles. A fave from me for the clever hide.

Couple of hours to kill while we spend a forfune at the local tyre merchant - both van and car. One cache close enough, but thought we could go to the cinema to kill time. Only two movies suitable, but both had already started, so lets try the cache.
Up or down, got to approximately 3 metres, read the description again, then some logs, and made our decision. Within 1 metre, only one place it could be now. Not armed with our caching kit, we were limited to our tools.
Ladies have handbags - surely there could be something there that might work!
YES. Extracted,signed and returned without attracting any undue attention.
Thanks RoddyC for the challenge and maintaining this hide

I worked out where the cache should be but I could not access it without some additional tools.
Looked for ages but could not find. Just wondering if the cache is still there
After an event at Logan I went off to try my luck at this cache again. It was late and no one about, not even Security to check me out this time so with a bit of help from my device I quickly had cache in hand, signed log and replaced just as quickly. TFTC
Found this one during our time but in Brisbane but realise we forgot to log it. TFTC
Once geo buddy found the only available car park, we did a quick scoot over and with the spot on co-ords the cache was soon in hand. Thanks Sewrainbow for the good hide
Out for my daily cache and wanted a fairly easy one and this was the one we chose, I was at gz trying to get cache and it flew out of my hands and landed out of reach. So panic set in ARGH!!!!! A quick heads up to the owner and she gave me the confidence I needed to reach it. After 10 mins later I had it signed and replaced and on my way back to the car I burnt my hands on the concrete OUCHIES!!!!!! Thanks for the memorable cache

Heading home after a few days away & we thought 'Why not grab a few caches on the way?'
A nice quick find once we decided to double park with the motor running.
Who would have thought it would be this hard to get a car space?
Car parking in ALL directions.
Despite the lack of available parking we were in & out in minutes.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

After going to Howards Storage we decided to have another crack at this one, not a good time I know as there was quite a few muggles, we searched a few places briefly but really couldn't hang around for long without turning heads so will come again, probably early in the morning before shops open up is a better time. TFTH Sewrainbow :^)
Finished my Shopping at the Dome...and now to tackle this one with all the DNF's. Well it is not one of the millions. Did not spend to long realising its not in where CO wants you to think it is. Trust your GPS and I think most of us has found one of these sneaky hides before. signed log replaced cache. TFTC Sewrainbow.
While Mr RoddyC is medically engaged, I (Mrs RoddyC) had time to do a couple of caches. The CO was with me, and assisted me in finding a close parking location, but the rest was up to me. After checking coordinates, I walked straight up to it.
Log signed & replaced again. Found at 1.20pm on 3rd October, 2016. TFTC

Nope, had a go looked up looked down, determined to find this one but rain got too heavy and had to give up search. Thanks for the hunt :^)
Cache is most definitely there. It might not be where you think. It's a tricky one
No luck for me today. I know this area well so i Came here early before work so i could have a muggle free search. Reached gz but still this micro eluded me.
Didn't find this one after multiple attempts. Searched high and low . Wondering if it is still their [?]
