We have been chasing smiles for a few years now. This was a quick stop and grab here today for us. Tftc
Out and about early this morning to pick up a few caches while the geowife completes a course. Made my way to the south side and quickly made my way to ground zero, where it didnt take long to locate the prize.Log extracted and signed. Replaced safely and off on the next adventure.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available for the enjoyment of others.Cheers
Found this a couple of days ago but forgot to log it. Got a park not too far away for a quick grab. TFTC
Up in Brisbane for Magic Round (and of course caching!)- bit of touring around to different parts of the city.TFTC!
In Brisbane for the weekend with steeba as part of our annual pilgrimage for Magic Round.In between games we were able to get out and find a few caches in the greater Brisbane area.Had a lot of fun finding these caches. Thanks TFTC

On a mission to Plug the Gaps in my 366 calendar and finding this cache has plugged a necessary gap that needed filling. Quick grab after finishing work for the day.TFTC. SL. TBs Prado Owl , The Great Leap Forward Geocoin , Rawhide , Surrey Travel Tag, Sheeps on the Journey (Orange) and Kiwi Bird visited.Find # 1992.
Theres always time for a little bit of guard rail action. The only thing you really need to avoid are any spider webs, especially the ones you cant see. Its not like it was 20 or 30 years ago. These days spiders have tertiary degrees and have spent their time planning on the best way to get cobwebs on your fingers and clothes. tftc
Faked lots of photos of the flowering bushes as traffic passed but couldnt see in obvious locations.
Far too much muggle activity to perform a search today. Ill come back at a quieter time
Found it
Took us longer to find than it should have. Be safe when parking

Thanks for the cache. It slipped onto my tree fishing list but made a refreshing change. Well maintained. Thanks also for the smiley.
This cache was on my way home so stopped in and made a quick find.

tftc came back a second time with lots more experience with these types of caches
I had to make another trip to the transfer station today, so I stopped in to have another look for this one. This time I found it pretty quickly. I don’t know how I missed it last time, must have been totally cache blind. Thanks Patrol14 for placing and maintaining this cache.
Might not be there anymore could the owner go and check if the cache is still in the right place
Checked all the usual spots and couldn’t see it. The metal was too hot to touch today so maybe it’s been pushed in too far again but I couldn’t check today without getting burnt.
A quick park and grab while caching in the area with NurseyJulie. As we approached, a truck appeared to have suffered a mechanical failure and half the road was blocked while a couple of guys shuffled underneath in the heat of the day... Yikes. 
At GZ, the container was quickly located and my name added to the log, while NJ who had previously found it, sat and enjoyed the aircon.

taking the backroads through my husbands old stomping ground and stopped for a quick P&G.
Checked all the usual spots with no luck so I decided to try the other side of the road. Once we had crossed, we found it straight away. Thanks patrol14
GPS had us on the wrong side of road but once we crossed over the cache was quickly found. TFTC
Found with SilverByte. Parked safely off road. Walked along, but had to check the other side of the road. Bingo! Had just completed AL in Archerfield wetlands. TFTC patrol14.
Found quick and easy, was a little muddy on the walk towards and also the log book was completely saturated not sure how there was no water in the tin or clip bag may need replacing sometime soon.
Third and final find for my little Christmas Morning excursion to get milk… I have a day with zero finds and it just happens to be Christmas Day…
I’ve deliberately left these caches for just such an emergency…
It’s time to take the milk home and get ready for the champagne breakfast…
Merry Christmas Patrol14… I hope you and your family, whatever side of the country they’re on have a wonderful and safe season…

Caching has never really been about the numbers. I drive generally over a thousand km's a week (some for work, some to explore, some for the kids, and some just because I have to) so there's always a cache or two to break up the drive. Having said that, I also enjoy numbers, fulfilling challenges, and quirky statistics. It's for this reason, I'm going to aim to fill my dates found and dates hidden this year, and a few other challenges in the local area.
Needed a cache to fill a spot in my calendar, and working at Durack meant this one was just down the road. Pulled up with plenty of ease to park and off I went. Started the search before realising the GPS Compass had taken a second to calibrate and it was actually on the other side of the road. Once I had relocated it was a nice easy find with the cache in good condition.
No spiders here either....well not that I saw...one day I will get bitten, but it worked out alright for Spiderman I guess
Thanks for the cache **patrol14**

Found it although it took a bit to retrieve as someone had pushed all the way back but lucky I had a handy magnetic tool. Thank you
Today, I played at an all day sports tournament in Willawong, and following that event, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) picked me up, and we subsequently drove past this geocache. We made a quick park and grab, since the cache was hidden in the logical hiding spot (as per the geocache title). The cache container and logbook were in good shape. As it turned out, this cache was my only find for today's glorious Saturday weather that we had! Thanks patrol14 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

After making an early start today with Chamad and NayFee, we met up for breakfast with Triple Turmoil and started working on the Oxley series. This cache was on our pathway, we couldn't leave it unfound. Arriving at gz the cache was quickly spotted. Log signed, cache replaced as found, we were on our way to the next cache.
Thanks patrol14 for placing the cache and bringing us here.

Out with Chamad, Willis007 first thing this morning and TripleTurmoil joined us later on. We had an action packed day full of adventures. We walked through cemeteries, creeks, bushland, highways, you name it, we probably did it. The day started bright and early at the dead centre of town then we got started on the Oxley series which took us to many wonderful locations.
I do apologise for posting a generic log, I really enjoy finding caches, but when it comes to logging I suck at it, especially when I’ve found so many. We did 27 caches and at times they all merge into one.
I want to thank each and every CO for placing caches at these locations and for keeping them going.

Out chasing the oxley series with Willis007, Nayfee and triple turmoil today. This was an easy park and grab even with the neighbours watching from the sidelines. Thanks for placing this one here.
A surprisingly nice view from GZ.
Parked about 60 metres up the road and came down to this one on a busy afternoon. Got a break in the traffic and then made the grab. Interesting field behind.
TFTC!

Happened to have detoured out this way on the way home from work and we (Mr STW was driving me today) decided to look for a cache in a neighbourhood that we don't often frequent. This cache popped up on the map and we converted that into a quick and easy smilie.
Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache.

This one's for the souvenir. Log full. Signed as RP. TFTC.
Oops, realised that old log book in there is actually a new log book! It's the old log sheet that's full. All good here

This seemed like a quiet back street when I pulled up. But I couldn’t believe how many cars came past while I was here. Luckily a quick find.
Thanks for the cache patrol14. This was find #4091.
