Thank you. I am deactivating this account. Once i rejoin. i will get my cahes up and running again.
Out this way this afternoon to collect my cache for the day.
It was just on dark as I arrived at gz, I did a little searching using a stick, I wasn't game to put my hand in unknown territory. Aha, that's the cache. Long story short, with the log and TB in hand, I dropped the original cache container into another part of the tree, unfortunately it will not be seen again for a while. The CO has been contacted. Thankfully I had a spare cache container in the car, I have put the log in this container which is slightly different, and put the cache back where it was originally hidden.
Thanks FNYetta for bringing me here, and apologies for my clumsiness.

Stopped here while doing the nearby AL.. once around the GZ and back to the likely spot... a reach and grab... tftc...
Out on the geocycle after hunting the AL at the wetlands. Got lucky with a half lap at this one. Swapped out the skanky wet log and left a new one.
Swapped out the TB for another too.
Swapped out the TB for another too.
After our third attempt, we finally found it. A bit soggy inside the container and left the Geocoin inside.
CITO We collected a geo coin from Tennis Anyone and left it here to continue its journey. GCTAKE. I hope it makes its way to its intended destination
Stopped in here while out and about today with swearah. Did the rounds a few times before spotting this sneaky hide. Tftc
This one took a bit of searching before jodsta83 called out the magic words “found it!” Nice hide. TFTC, TeamFNYetta
Nice quick find, as you’d hope for the DT rating. Thanks for placing Team FNYetta. First cache on my caching tour of 6 days
This is a spectacular strangler fig! I my stupid phone GPS sent me all over the place, before finally settling down and I found the container. All is good with the cache. The log is nice and dry and the container has been returned as found. TFTC
Love finding lunch spots with caches to find as well when we head out for a day. TFTC FNYetta
DisSister, being a little taller, spied what I had missed. With the log signed we headed over to the tables for a well deserved lunch break. Thanks Team FNYetta
Found it, may need to climb, log was so wet and soggy that it fell apart - had some paper on me so made a makeshift log for the time being and popped it in!
Had to postpone my mountain experience by another day, but tomorrow that foot WILL be OK!
Car caching to collect a few finds.
Doing Sunday laps of Banyo, what better way than this to celebrate our freedom?!
A quick find on this one
Thank you for this cache

Tried to approach this thing at all angles such an awkward little spot to hide it but once you get it it’s worth it! Thank you!
GPS had me wandering around a few different trees at first but I spotted the likely hiding place. Was a bit daunting putting my hand there.
Log signed and replaced.

After a lengthy look in all the wrong wrong trees and moisture we had cache in hand. Cache and logbook in good condition. TFTC!
Headed out on an adventure with Caveman9614.
After copping much rain to the face while looking up all the wrong trees, and finally trusting the gut and logic rather than the GPS, we found the cache. Logbook getting full, and a cute pink rock in the cache. Thanks for the cache.

Just so happens that I’m not vertically challenged but still had to climb for it plus had to dig for it under the leaves. TFTC!

Climbing only required for vertically challenged persons
Discovered on my way to work

Had to get mum to climb up and grab it for me... spoiler climbing is so required!! TFTC
Nice easy find. Very few muggles this morning. Also really love this beautiful trees! We need more of them. It’s lovely driving through older suburbs with more established trees and gardens.
Lovely painted rock currently in the swag. TB visit.

After finishing work early out by the Airport, I thought it would be the perfect time to collect a few Caches in the area that I missed out on last time.
Took me a few minutes to locate this one. GPS is off by a few good metres, but eventually figured out its hiding place.
Find #412 - TFTC

Tuesday. As it was about 40C+ today, both Slow Punctures decided what better way to celebrate the heat than to jump into the car and grab some caches. We pulled up near GZ and started to look. I had a poke and a prod and didn’t hear that magical sound I was listening for, so went around the merry-go-round until Mr SP said to give it another try. I used a different stick, as obviously the other one wasn’t the right one, and we struck gold. I only just managed to reach in. What I wouldn’t give for a couple more inches sometimes. (Mr SP has been heard to make the same observation...) [xx(] Log signing duties done, we replaced the container and headed on to the next cache.
This was the 2nd of 6 caches found on today's trip.
Thanks ***Team FNYetta***, for showing us this place.

Found it! Took some smart looking but it’s there. Put a pink treasure in there for the next person
Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC Team FNYetta ¥287 days. #1823 Finds.
TFTC smile 5033 out and about with Brislions and miss Millie geo dog been to the CITO Event good day for collecting rubbish Thank you for placing this cache for our enjoyment
Circumnavigated the strangler several times but being vertically challenged felt this was beyond me
Found after about 15 mins. Coordinates off and as a shorter GeoMum, I had to climb
Defeated by mozzies. Co-ordinates off a bit. I am new to geocaching so may have just missed it. Thanks
Coords a little off but the name and the hint were helpful. Put me in the right place immediately to make a quick find. TFTC!
The GPS wanted me 8 m away, but I decided on a much mor logical option and found the cache quickly. Nice park and so quiet here, no-one around.TFTC
Found with bennyboppers and jemillalucy today after a bit of a scratch around. Tftc
Out with Benny boppers and Lisylou for a walk. Took a big of digging in leaf litter. Tftc
Today is my last chance to find enough caches to claim the 'Wold Turtle' Souvenir.
So I left home at 4 am and arrived at my first cache for the day just before 6 am.
A couple of caches down I am now in this area finding the odd cache or two.
A quick find here for me today.
Now on to the next one before heading to Nudgee to go kayaking. [^]
Thanks for the cache.

2018 is the year for me to clean up my caching calendar finally. Having found another cache near by tonight, i thought I would clean this one up as well. No problems here - found exactly as described.

After dropping some family at the airport today we decided to take a small detour on the way home to have a look around this area. Of course it wouldn’t be a drive without a search for a few geocaches as well. At GZ, we noted a very likely looking general area, and then narrowed our search down. We pretty soon had the container in our hands. We signed the log had a small walk around this lovely park and continued our journey.
Thanks Team FNYetta

The name and hint gave me a pretty good idea as to where the cache would be and they were right. TFTC.
Quick find
Didn’t want to stay to long as there were muggles in the playground
Found with frannymfrog logged as 3K

Was a bit off the coordinates but once realised it wasn’t too hard to find. Put the little one on shoulders and found straight away.
Found it easy enough! Log is still quite damp and falling apart. It either needs replacing or to be taken out to completely dry! TFTC
GPS was jumpy, but the cache title says it all. I had to climb He-Squirrel like a ladder so as to be tall enough to reach it though . The logbook is soaked, so we took a moment to try and dry it on our geomobile, as well as replaced the ziplock bag. Swapped the Loch Ness Monster for a fish .
Last stop for the day. There was a lady sitting in her car right near GZ but I was out of sight so no problems. The bag containing the log has torn and the log was too wet to sign. When I tried, the pen just left gouges in the paper. I took the trackable
Just dropping in for a quick find before basketball training. Nice rasy find.
