Looked long and hard but ultimately failed, all I found was mosquitoe bites all over my legs
Was almost ready to give up when a look through the branches at the right angle proved successful. Tftc!
Such a good feeling finding a cache that doesn’t like being found. Nene2313 made the find here. TFTC
We had a good search around but no luck at all here today.
2nd visit & the 2nd DNF for us
Thanks
2nd visit & the 2nd DNF for us

Replaced today with a new cache container as it appears the old one may have succumbed to the elements.
Took about 10 mins thorough search. Last time I was looking at the wrong elevation. It’s about waste height and I had it 2 m from my GZ

Not found today but with such a needle in a haystack so to speak it could be because of that or is it?
The name of the game is perseverance! Second visit and after about 15mins with three sets of eyes it was finally spotted. Pleased to turn the frown to a smile.
Well this was the second time here to find this cache. The first time no luck in finding. This time there was 3 of us and after some time the words 'found it' were spoken (and it wasn't me who said it - lol). TFTC
This one was really tricky - couldn’t see it anywhere despite pics from other people
Replaced the log as nearly full today. Thank you everyone for finding our cache and all your comments on your logs. King tide today so a bit of a wade to get to it.
Despite the late hour I needed a cache for today so headed this way to see if I could put my mark on a log.
Probably should screen my targets a little better because it was high tide and a spidery challenge. After checking it there were easier options nearby and coming up negative, we dove in and fortunately discovered the hide relatively easily. Tftc

It was very tricky but in the end just when we were about to give up we spotted it. It was very "camouflaged"
Second time here...we searched high and low. Came back with Ricki86 and he found it! Very well camflouged.
TFTC. Was closely guarded by several spiders who required a bit of a poke.
Found after reading a few hints from previous people a few unexpected spider friends
Found it but could not get it beachside 2 big spiders are in the way on the entryway
I arrived here right on igh tide and I was a bit worried that I might get my feet wet but, I think I must have been lucky as I spotted the cache quickly. The tether is rusting and will need to be replaced before it breaks.

Selva Girls and I had made a few finds in the area this morning and pulled up nearby to hunt for this one. We split up for the hunt, and after a bit of poking around I finally looked from the right angle and spotted the little beastie. Log signed and off we go to the next one. Tftc david779 and Berecc
Next, stortigirls and I headed to this one. Our phones couldnt decide where GZ should be, so we split up. After a bit of a search, stortigirls managed to spot the cache. With our names added to the log, we continued on our way. TFTC
Checked on this cache today and all is well and still in location. Recent Council works have not affected in any way. This Bison is well camouflaged so a keen eye is needed.
The GZ lead to bushes along the high tide mark. Searched all around the bushes, and in the bush branches (it could be a hanging cache) revealed nothing.
When I arrived at the GZ area I thought I could hear someone in the mangroves but it turned out to be a bush turkey digging madly through the leaves next to the neighbours yard. The search for this one took me ages but after looking in and out from different angles I finally spotted the camouflaged cache, wow, how did I miss that, it certainly does blend in very well in its location though.
Thanks david779 and Berecc for a beaut hide and TFTC

This took me a little while, walking here and there, looking from different angles before I spotted the sneaky fellow!

Obviously hidden. Very nice indeed. "How did we not see it" yelled one of the kids. Almost wet feet too.
We found it but we didn't bring a pen!!! How annoying. But we found it. Awesome!! Rubystartrackers
We had a good search around but no luck at all here today.
Tide was out, but a bison can be so hard to spot amongst the foliage.
Thanks

I would have to say that I had a very cursory search here. With absolutely no way of narrowing down GZ I did not really out in enough effort to locate this one.
Caching the area with Earthlight today
This cache was a well placed,cammo cache.
Blended in well with its surroundings.
While checkibg out gz for the cache a voice asks ,Have you found it yet?
Turns out it was the cache owner enjoying a cycle along the path
We located the cache ,signed the log and chatted for awhile.
tftc and the series guys
thoroughly enjoyed the mornings caching )

Whilst The X-Trailers and I were casually searching for the cache, the Co and her son we're cycling by and noticed us. Standing back she watched as we located the great camouflaged cache. Blended in very well. A fav point from me and was great chatting. TFTC
Out and about collecting the new caches hidden since my last visit.
Coords bang on, thank you. Stood for a while at the high tide mark looking for inspiration and then miraculously there it was.
Second find out of four so far. Beginning to believe that I can improve on a 50% batting average.

I had to get my feet wet and exactly where geobuddy was! Really blended in! Nice one! Thanks for the cache!!
Tide was us so no choice but to take off shoes and socks which were wet already from the first attempt. PAF After second attempt. Got it the 3rd time while waiting for help.
TFTC. very well hidden.

Geocaching this morning by the lake and this was the 1st find. Thought this was going to turn into a big search but luckily my eyes quickly landed on the right spot...TFTC!
Quess who's back, back again
MM's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back

As promissed I'm back for round two. I figured midday would be walker free and indeed it was. Besides a few cars parked on the street sitting lopsided from their tyres melting into the bitumen, I had the place to myself. The sun was out in all it's splendor today sucking the moisture out of anything it could get a ray of light on, me included so again I waded in the cool water near GZ. I waited for my phone to settle then headed back for a look. This one was kicking my butt again but...I did eventually find it when I was just about to walk off. Crickey that thing blends in well. I signed in while hiding in the shade nearby then headed for the car.
On the way I looked out and noticed the little sand bar 20m from the shore line. That just looks way to inviting not to go in. So I kicked off the pluggas and went for it. Thigh deep in my boadies was nice, ah bugger it, I whacked my keys and phone under my straw hat then sat down, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. James, bring me a beer

This took us way longer than it should have because we were looking in the wrong places having mixed up our geocaches that we were looking for. Duh! Once we got that sorted it wasn't long before we were able to sign the log at this one. Thanks for placing it david779 and Berecc and for bringing us here to yet another lovely park beside the lake. Cheers and happy caching!
Why is it always me that seems to log the first DNF? Just lucky I guess, Yeah right.
Anyway it probably wasn't the best time of day to be down here. A thousand and one senior citz heading out for a morning walk either seem to use this end as a starting point or a turn around point. I did manage to get a fair amount of a search under way, hence the DNF but I didn't want to push my luck with a few of the oldies that were hanging around chin wagin.
I did get a few good photo as you do when walkers are around so not all was lost.
Nice location that of course I'll be back to soon. TFTH dave

Shooting the breeze with family, at Runaway Bay & a late notification came through.
Should we?
Damn straight we should ...
After nailing the FTF on the recent newly published cache (Humpy) we headed here to make it 5 out of 5 finds for today.
Having found 'Daisy Elms', 'Amorous Arbor' & 'YOU put your finger in' earlier today we had passed on this one as FTF had been claimed & we were supposed to be 'socialising' at Runaway Bay with family.
Another day maybe?
Well, that was NOT to be the case as 'Humpy' was released which drew us back to the area.
Parked the Geo-Beast roadside & headed over to GZ.
The compass kept insisting I be in a particular spot but I just wasn't seeing anything there.
???
Geo-Mamma was having a good look around & was also being led back to this same spot ... we were either both right or both wrong! LOL ...
Not long after, it was Geo-Mamma who said "Got it!" with a cheeky smile on her face!
I really DO need to go to Specsavers!
Made our mark & replaced as found.
Thanks for a fun little caching run down south.
1 x joint FTF, 1 x solo FTF, 1 x joint STF & 2 x solo STFs ... gotta be happy with that!
NOW ... back to the party! LOL ...
