Awesome cache!!! Fave point from me too

We looked and looked ,our GPS was going every were. Then a friendly local came to our rescue. YA. Gotcha. What a great hide ..A favorite point from us. Thanks for the challange. Installed new log in a zip tie bag. The existing log was full and a bit wet.

Tftc great camo

Outnabout for some solo caching after QOGM 2023. Very nice hide deserving of a favourite point from me. Its always a great day for caching. TFTC Miss_DirectionFor anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australias only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria

Very sneaky! We said to ourselves “nah it can’t be” and then it was!

This was the last cache of the weekend for krcamber and I. We missed the turn because we talk too much, but we made it to GZ anyway.

We read previous logs and krcamber made the tricky find about 4m away. Nice!

Thanks for the cache, Miss_Direction

Swearah and I are on our way home this morning and this one is a quick stop off the highway. Missing the turn because I wasn’t paying attention at all, luckily there was a second option! This hide was a great one, and reading past logs really helped here. Not sure I would have found it without those hints. Coords were slightly off too. Fave point for the effort here, a great hide! TFTC!

I had intended to stop at this geocache given the high Favourite Point (FP) count (71 FPs as of the time of my visit). I did a search at where I had GZ before expanding my search (too much initially), and then zeroed into the geocache. I am not sure if it was just the tree bounce, but I had the coordinates slightly out by 7-8 m, with my coordinates suggesting the cache at S 27° 02.735' E 152° 52.934'. A well-camouflaged hide worthy of a Favourite Point, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Miss_Direction for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

----------

During this extended weekend, it was a trip north to find the 65 Roses geoart in Kilcoy, followed by two days boating on Lake Somerset to defeat the Dark Side series joined with [GurTheWanderer](https://coord.info/PRWMPWQ) and [stairman1](https://coord.info/PR4R27Z).

Today, I headed north via Caboolture, and I made stops in D'Aguilar and Woodford, before stopping at Stoney Creek in Bellthorpe National Park. Towards the latter morning, I set off finding the *65 Roses* geoart concentrating on the eastern circuit via Mount Kilcoy first, before then heading north, and back into Kilcoy for lunch. After tackling the central geocaches, I proceeded west through Woolmar, before finishing the series via the southern stem. As I was staying in D'Aguilar tonight, I returned via Mount Archer and a detour into the northern section of D'Aguilar National Park. A nice and cool weather day for collecting this series, and most of the geocaches were in good condition.

Headed out in the geo-car for a few caches today kitty’s_landing. (While Luke’s away the kitty will play, lol)

Decided to hit a few around Elimbah to Woodford and surrounding area.

Quick find.

TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Found it with Shazzar66

Tftc took a while to click on. Had help from a local to locate

Tftc took a bit as co ords out but cool hide

A clever cache. Took a little bit of thinking. Favourite point from me. TFTC

Was a bit stumped to begin with but with over 200 finds you start to click on to some people’s genius ️
Sorry no pen with me today so took photo as proof of find ️

Miss_Direction I found your cache Bye-Bye Highway on 29/11/2022, 12:25 pm. This is my find 4489 and find # 6 today. Came back after it was found after my DNF. This time I didn’t spend much time searching as I did a lot of searching before. Searched a different area and noticed something odd. Is it the cache , yes or no. Dismissed it at first but decided to check it out more thoroughly after thinking about it. Yep, it’s the cache, very sneaky and very well camouflaged. A favourite from me. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

A rather tricky hide here and thoroughly enjoyed the hunt. A fav point

Miss_Direction I didn’t find your cache Bye-Bye Highway on 25/8/2022, 4:47 pm. Searched around and around again but couldn’t find it.

No joy.

Alyce and I dropped the kiddies off at school and made our way back home, but we remembered this cache we've neglected for a few months. We pass it every day and finally managed to drop by to have a look.

We struggled for a few minutes to locate anything that that looked cache related and had to be weary of a muggle filling up his truck nearby, but we were persistent and kept looking, than all of a sudden the guy filling up his truck wandered over and asked if we were looking for a thing that had a log in it, with a big smile we said yes and he asked if we needed some help, and we both replied with a yes and he pointed out the general area so we wandered on over and uncovered the sneaky hide soon after.

Unfortunately coords are out a bit, but this area would've been our next target.

Thanks for bringing us here today, and have a fav point, we enjoyed the hide.

In the area for the weekend, this was a must do cache. Parked nearby and after expanding our search a bit we came across the very sneaky, sneaky hide . Loved the camo, a definite fav point from us . TNLNSL TFTC .

Out and about with Candymae82 grabbing a few caches. I thought I had logged this one when we found it but some how I missed logging it. This is a great hide, I dismissed it at first but went back for a closer look. Tftc Miss_Direction ️

Out and about for the morning with jodsta83.
Had a bit of time to waste so decided to do a few caches along our drive. After a bit of searching around we spotted it. Nice hide indeed! TFTF

A lovely day to be out walking the dog, and finding a cache which I did not come over the busy highway to find back in December, so today, I parked off the bust road, with lots of roadworks, and made a very well made cache hide a yellow smile, a favourite point for construction, and Thanks Miss Direction, for the hide, which is in good condition, I notice that previous finder is my Son and granddaughters, two months back, this hobby does run in my family, my daughter also geocaches

Both kids out at work today at the same time! An opportunity to go for some exercise with Mrs FNG (Walk along the Wamuram rail trail).
Cache 8 for the day.
Moved the car again. I have been here once before with no luck,
Obviously having an extra set of eyes makes a difference.
Located it eventually after some phone bounce.
Loved this hide!
In very good condition - thanks for the cache!

Hurry up and wait day at work nearby so quick drive to get this one.

Sneaky sneaky hide

Visited by cute puppy as I searched, little white fluff ball.

Thanks for this delightful and interesting hide.

ruzzelz Rides S3 - Cache the Caboolture Wamuran Rail Trail

The Caboolture to Wamuran Rail Trail showcases the history of the Caboolture to Kilcoy railway corridor, which has been closed since 1964, and provide a shared pathway from Caboolture to Wamuran.

A great roll out of people on a range of bike types including one or two that really could do with a bit of lube on the drive train. An early start meant the weather was cool and we avoided the rain showers until the end of the ride.

Coffee and cakes during a bike ride is a mandatory obligations and there were no objections when the local bakery in Wamuran was suggested as the first non geocache stop. A few hardy types even rose to the occasion and took a second caffeine hit on the return to Caboolture.

Thanks to the CO’s for placing caches and a big thanks to all the will riders who turned up for ruzzelz Rides S3.

PS - Production ruzzelz Rides Season 4 has been delayed due to the 2022 Flood even. Once things dry out the next episodes will be screened.

Joined a great group of cachers for a very enjoyable morning of cycling & caching along the rail trail & around Caboolture. Logs were signed as RR3 for Ruzzelz Ride 3, thanks to Russel for organising & the CO's for the hides.
We crossed over the road to reach this one & it was by far our longest search of the day but Beardman75 eventually found the sneaky hide.
Thanks for the cache Miss_Direction

Found with the RR3 Group (Ruzzels Ride 3) today and log signed as that for ease.
Thoroughly enjoyed the ride along the rail trail and seeing the different areas it passes through.
We looked and looked but it was Beardman75 who had his caching eyes on for this tricky one.
Congratulations on a cool cache container.
TFTC

I joined the RR3 group for a lovely morning of cycling, chatting and cache hunting. This one took some time to locate but our group name is now scribed on the log. TFTC Miss_Direction

Ruzzelz organised a ride along the rail trail with a few extras thrown in. Log signed as Ruzzelz Ride #3 (or just RR3). We searched far too long before locating this. Thanks for the cache

Bye-Bye Highway
D 2.5 T 1.0 Small Traditional Cache

Lovely day for a 20k - 2 hour bike ride with RR3 (or Ruzzelz Ride #3). Totally amazed with how nice this bike trail is. Very well maintained and lots of users too. Equally amazing was the company, lots of fun and laughs. I fell twice. Doesn't matter, it wouldn't be a bike ride if I don't . Getting on and off, and turning left or right are not my forte . Need to ride more and adjust my seat again or maybe will get one of those e-bikes?

Thanks for the cache and taking us here Miss_Direction. Enjoyed the adventure. Slight detour from the trail to access the cache.

Day 15 of our Beachmere housesit.

Today, we were going on the Ferryman Cruise on the Pumistone Passage, but at the last minute, due to bad weather, it was cancelled. So, instead, muggle sister suggested a drive in the country. Of course, that meant finding a cache or ten.

The route we took from Caboolture, via Diagular to Mt Mee and Dayboro, before returning via Petrie.....

Saying Bye Bye to the lowlands, we stopped by for this cache, which came a heap of favourite points. We checked the nearby tree, which was not at GZ, we searched another which was even further away. Then another spot. Eventually, we crossed the road. By this time muggle sister had joined the search. I watched muggle sister staring at a partiular spot for at least 45 seconds before moving on to stare aimlessly elsewhere. Thirteen metres out, but I checked out where muggle sister had been stairing. Sure enough, she had stared at it, but not recognised it a a hide....

Just as we signed the cache, caller from accross the road called out "yay" . Not sure if he is related to Miss Direction, but he certainly knew we were there, and what we were looking for.

Thank Miss Direction for a well cammoed cache. You have earned another favourite point.

On our drive to Woodford today we stopped in to locate this very well camouflaged container. Our GPS had us searching around in circles however Wazza soon narrowed down the search zone and the log book was signed. A favourite point from us for a very creative hide. TFTC

The girls and I had a work breakfast meetup at the pit stop café on Mt. Mee rd. After the event I said, girls I need one cache for the day and I have some fun ones for you to see. A little drive and I was at some caches I did yesterday. The excitement was too much and the caching bug had hit them. Let’s go and find some more we can swap at. So off we went, a search of nearby larger caches was started.

Now this one is not a large cache but it was a fun one to do and with a large number of favourite points we had to see why. We pulled up and the coordinates had as near a tree, hmmm. A look around and something was a little different. I wondered over and starting a better investigation, sure enough it was the hide. Maddie was very impressed, yet could not figure out why someone would hide that in there, I laughed and then explained.

Yes a worthy favourite point here, with log signed and cache replaced as found we were off, still looking for that swaps cache.

Up at stupid o'clock so I could get to Woodford Golf Club for a 6am tee off (it certainly wasn't my idea). Struggled all morning and lost far too many balls, so on the way home (for a cuppa then a nice snooze) I stopped to pick up a cache or two as I'm not up in this part of the world too often.

A very nice well disguised container.

Now to try and avoid the queues of traffic to get home.

Thanks!!

#2965

TFTC! Mooo...

Pulled up almost next to it sweet 2meters away I still chose the wrong side of the road to start on. Even looked at that I though hmm bet that’s it but coordinates didn’t put me there. Love the hide tho. Thanks for the cache.

Good spot. Just need to adjust gps location

This is great hide although I was looking on the wrong side of the road to start with- tftc

On my way home from Dayboro and Mount Mee this is my last find for the day... and it wasn't until I had stopped that I saw the number of Fave Points sitting here...

I will admit I looked at the tree and thought "What the????".... While making my way round the tree I was joined by a Maltese Terrier from the neighboring property... that's not good... so I picked him/her up and returned him/her to their mate behind the fence and returned to Renaldo... That's when I spotted the cache... nice urban camo... and appreciated the attention to detail.... Well worth another fave point.... TFTC....

Ran out of time. No luck today ️

Spending my day caching on the Northside of Brisbane and this one had me tricked for a while. A young guy on a motor bike (lived in one of the houses close by) came up to me and wanted to know what I had lost so I explained the game to home. He noticed my leg was covered in blood and was a bit concerned about it but I told home I had a fight with some lantana a little time earlier and my sock and shoe were also well bloodied but I was ok. After he left I checked out another spot that I had looked a few minutes previously but this time I checked it a bit better and was soon signing the log. Replaced all as found. Excellent cache. TFTC

GPS bounced around a bit. What a clever hide found by Beautiful Geowife. TFTC

TFTC Very clever hiding place! Thought the map had me lost. Said it was 15m out from where it was. Otherwise very fun find.

After the New Year Events in Kilkivan, today's caching area includes the Harry Potter and Agatha Christie Series, with hatzofff and Snickersallan in the geovehicle.

Good one. Would fool most people. Favourite point.

Log signed and cache replaced as found on January 3, 2021. TFTC, Miss_Direction

Staying over after the newbies events in Kilkivan to do caches in the area.

Heading back to our motel but GPS was taking was in all directions. Tracked it down.

TFTC Miss_Direction

Making my way back down the coast with hatzofff and RoddyC & spending a few days in the local area to do some geoart puzzles and others in between.
All hides were found relatively easy and apart from a few wet logbooks that we changed where we could, caches were in good condition.
Apologies for the generic logs CO's, thanks for placing for everyones enjoyment.

This was our best find of the day, very well done and deserving of a favourite point.

Found January 3, 2021

Tftc miss_direction, cool hide, fave point for this one.

Geoson figured this out early but I dismissed it. 5 mins later he proved me wrong. Great camo container. Tftc

Hahahahaha. I sat in the car for 20 mins with the dog, watching geo kids and geo husband walk everywhere. I read all the comments, hopped out and found it straight away . Great hide!!!

Tftc

Out today on a mission with OBC and mini-OBC. Swung by here for the next of over 120 finds today. A very clever hide here - had us in circles for a moment before curiosity won out. Nice job.

Thanks Miss_Direction for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #8323}*

Out and about on a power trail today - targeting the Roses geoart (wahoo! highly recommended), the Potter Puzzles geoart, and the Hamilton power trail. It was a long but fantastic day with myself, Pprime (P') and mini oz_bean_counter, and the logs were signed as OP'X to reflect this. Started at 4 am with a check on the US election progress, in the car by 4.45 am and the first cache by 5.30 am. Home and dead tired 12 hours later, where wine and pizza were necessary to refuel the body before I crashed for the night. I was delighted to end the day with 124 finds (plus 5 DNFs, and revisited 2 caches) - a new daily record for me. I was really really happy to be celebrating that achievement with family and good friends.

Thanks for all the COs for their time and effort in placing and maintaining these caches. Apologies for the generic log.

TFTC and TB visits

This one is well worthy of a FP Awesome work Miss Direction!

Wow
My heart beating not sure if that one
Yay yay

Hooray thanks for share DeafPVC

A good hide logging with DeafPVC

Awesome camo! Looked like it should be there. A favourite for me. Thanks for the hide!

Great hide had us guessing for awhile. TFTC

Very clever this one - gave us a good laugh.

TFTC

As the big water truck pulled into the service bay we thought the game was over. He must have known what we doing as he just smiled at us. Love the hide. Certainly had us thinking. TFTC

Very good hide, definitely one of our favourites!
TFTC

By far one of my favourites! I was a bit standoffish about checking there but it being my last go i ended up finding it. TFTC

Quick easy find

Sunday. Pulling up to GZ, we thought we were right on the money straight off, but since it was a very cloudy day, my phone arrow went off! So whilst Mr SP was keeping an eye on the nosy lady across the road who was watching us, I looked and knew where GZ would be (which was near to where we parked), and Mr SP drove the car just a bit further along so that the car was keeping us safe from prying eyes. I quickly signed the log and Mr SP pretended to get something out of the car. Fantastic cache container idea. Awarding a FP to this one for ingenuity! I also loved how the cache made good use of some local camo that looks like it belonged to that spot as well.

This was the 7th of 10 caches found on this outing.

Thanks ***Miss_Direction*** for showing us this place

After picking my kids from school I went for a drive up to Wamuran to find some more caches. Had a great afternoon learning about this area. Thank for bringing me here.
Sorry for the generic post.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. Miss_Direction TFTC *555* streak. *3379* Finds

Very well hidden

Such a wonder of a find! Great disguise. I left a small bead as a tracable. Thank you for this find

Tftc

Tftc!

On my drive back to brisvegas I decided to turn this into a smiley. At gz it didn't take me long to spot this fantastic cache. I would not have found it so quickly but I found one similar on a trip to Somerset damn not long ago. Definitely a fp for a great cache. Thankyou once again for a fun morning

Very spooky. Love it. Tftc

Having read that this one was on the other side of the road to the given coordinates we didn't bother with the GPS here.
We checked out a lot of places before we noticed something a little further away that resembled a hide we had found yesterday.
Sure enough there was the cache.
Another nicely crafted hide and a favourite point for the effort made here.
Thanks.

I think I found it but cant be sure because I had my dog in the car and the black dog arrived to bark at him. Looks friendly but not taking any chances.

On my way to the Rural Safari 2019 event at Crows Nest.
A quick find. This is a great example of unique cammo. Well made. A favourite.
TNLNSL TFTC

Awesome

Took us awhile and needed a fair bit of help from the lovely Miss_Direction. Thankyou. FYI: The coordinates are off by 10m on the wrong side.

I’ve found it so hard

A well constructed cache container that did not cause us any grief except, according to our GPS the co-ords were out by approx 10 meters and had us looking on the incorrect side of the road, which then caused a nearby dog to start barking, it did not seem to want to bark at us once we weere on the correct side of the road. SL TFTC

Starting to understand the devious mind of Miss Direction. Found this one really quickly.
Fav point from us.
TFTC

A quick detour along the road to this one. Not too far on the busy road and it has a nice wide shoulder here.

A quick find at GZ and a favourite point for this one. [^]

I was happy to say Bye to this highway for a few moments today,
so that I could find a cache along the way

While the crazy traffic crawled past nearby,
I enjoyed the peace and quiet of this byway [^]
But where was the cache ??
I couldn't see !!
Evem after searching several tree !!

T'was while standing around looking dumb,
that the cache was spied,
sticking out like a sore thumb [:o]

When the giggling stopped,
I retrieved the logbook for a signing
And admired the clever cache designing [^]

Fave dance for this one

**# 24623** Found on our 2019 trip to Qld for winter.
A fine Autumn day for a drive around Moodlu and out to Wamuran.
Not that many muggles around here today and many good safe hides.
Thanks for the cache Miss_Direction,
***Roostaman***

A nice stop. Wandered around briefly then spotted the cache! Had geodog with us on the lead, someones loose cattledogs came up and attacked her. So be careful of this if bringing your own dog.

Quick look but couldnt find will return another time

On our drive today out to Kilcoy to clean up the last of the 65 roses, we took a small detour off the highway and headed to GZ. A little bit of searching soon revealed a very clever hide, which has been beautifully constructed and blends into the area as part of the rest of what is around here.
Lots of fun!
Thanks Miss _Direction,

Domsky

Put a smile on all our faces. Very clever.
Had fun doing this. Kids were running all over the place following the crazy gps. Haha
TFTC

An offer to head out of Brissy for an adventure and more caching today Violet the Tabby came along for the ride this weekend

I hurtled past this cache last weekend in Sooty and today we took the winding route in here to GZ. What a superb cache! A FAVE point here

TFTC Miss Direction!

Lots of publishing around Wamuran yesterday and surprisingly when I woke this morning, none of the new caches had been found. With little planned for the morning, I decided to head north. Firstly, a coffee and a quick run over the puzzles, solving what I could.

Having grabbed some first to finds around Wamuran and Bracalba, I was heading back through Caboolture to Elimbah to test my luck with a few more. With all the favourite points this cache has accumulated, I said bye bye to the Highway and stopped.

A water truck was just finishing filling when I arrived and soon I had GZ to myself. A nice quick find of a well constructed container. Have another crooked favourite point for your collection here. Pink is my first colour choice by the way. Many thanks Miss Direction

Today, we decided to head to Esk to attend a Creation Celebration Event as part of the Creation Carnival promotion by Geocaching HQ and collect a few souvenirs while we were at it.

Our GPSr wasn't being very co-operative and had us wandering in circles initially. It didn't take too long though using our geo-sense and we soon located this cleverly constructed cache. With our name added to the log book, we continued on our way

Thank you Miss_Direction for placing the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy A favourite point for the clever cache construction.

Today was a work trip from Brisbane to Kingaroy for some work meetings and back again. After the work meetings were done, my work colleague and caching collaborator was good enough to drive and stop to let me find a few caches along the way. Very cool cache construction here. I was certainly distracted by the bra for a while before I finally got my hands on the cache. Last cache for me today. Time to head for the hotel. TFTC, Biggles.

Original idea, haven’t seen one of these before. TFTC!!!

Found the bra. Found the cache. Nice one! Thanks.

Awesome!! TFTC!

Had me walking around looking for quite some time until I read a comment and it was found. Tftc

We had a free day so a drive and a day of geocaching was in order . I had on my list of caches to do the “llama drama” Cache from a post on Facebook, because I just love those 4 legged creatures . We were on the gateway fanging it North when the first of today’s torrential down pours started ️ . My mum had a saying though, “if it rains, we will wear a raincoat and get on with it!” So onwards we head! ️

I found a safe place to park this time and saw a curious site in a tree (pic attached lol ). I then turned my energy to the cache and thought what about... and found it straight away. Booyah!

Awesome find just off the highway. Tftc
