Sorry folks, this one is missing again & using my 3 times and you're out rule will have to be archived as is obviously not a safe spot for a little cache to reside long term. ?????????

Lovely spot to sit and watch the boats on the canal with the breeze cooling us down. Cache found safe and dry. TFTC

Had lost my caching senses here but luckily La Kedi’s were still strong as she spotted it in a place I’d already looked. In my defense, I didn’t realize the hint was no longer relevant so was looking for the wrong thing. TFTC spiderwebbs4
 
26-Nov-20
Lovely location fun exploring around here. thanks spiderwebs4
 
26-Nov-20
Oh goodness, that was pretty sneaky! We were still going by the original hint, which isn’t what we needed to be looking for at all. Luckily I spotted the tether and then the tiny little cache - also quite a bit smaller than the anticipated bison tube.

It never feels good when the previous logs all read "easy find", "quick find", "where it was expected". We can't claim any of those things. Too good for us today.

We are having a lovely few days in this area and we thoroughly enjoyed collecting this series. Thanks to the CO we enjoyed each and every location and admired the boats and canals. Thanks to the hint we located this cache, signed the log and replaced where found. We admired the colour of this little one. TFTC Spiderswebbs4

23-Aug-20
Checked today after lunch, as we came down to the boat but too windy to go sailing so had some time for maintenance. Does indeed seem to be missing. Replaced with a tinier slightly paler version, tethered. Hopefully it doesn't blow away....

No luck for us here today. :'(

Well, it’s been about a two year rut since I went out seeking my last cache. Today in the drizzly weather I am driving my partner around catching Pokémon (lammeee) when I cracked it and said if we are going to be gallabanting around the region I may as well be finding something real and so I downloaded the app and a quick password reset and off I went.

Second cache attempted today and this one had me questioning if I had lost all of my geosenses. Looked everywhere, it was raining so eventually we gave up and moved on.

I’ll be back!

Like the last 2, couldn't find sadly.

Thanks for the cache!

We are out for a lovely Sunday afternoon drive, and this is our first time to visit this area. We came here since the area looked so beautiful on the map and thought we would also use this as an opportunity to collect a few geocaches.
A quick find, with a lovely hint.
Thanks

What better way to spend some time outdoors away from others than to venture out and log a few caches away form others, Today was spent exploring the canals in the northern suburbs of Brisbane.

Quick find on an afternoon walk with Geopup and muggle Mum.

The co-ords for this one were spot on, although I did ignore them for a minute thinking I knew where to look. Turns out I should have followed my phone.

Log signed, cache returned as found.

Thanks spiderwebbs4 for the cache.

Friday. A quick trip today out on the bike with Que Sera. Que Sera had previously found this one, so it was just an SP signature in the log today. Loved the colour theme of the container.

This was the 2nd of 15 caches found on this outing.

Thanks ***spiderwebbs4*** for showing us this place Razz

Grabbing some caches here for leap-day numbers.

A day with Whint, caching around Newport. We hadn’t been out caching together in a long time.
Tricked up by this one!!

On a day out with Wombles we were making our way through this little series. The clue threw us for a second but GZ wasn't there so we headed to GZ and Wombles soon had the little sucker in hand.

It is the start of a New Year and also an opportunity to get the first souvenir for 2020. Billy the Geopooch needed a walk and so did we, so we decided to go look for a couple of caches close to the water to get a nice sea breeze. Billy loved his walk, especially as he got to go paddle in the water while I searched for the caches. This one took a little while to find - I think I was too distracted by other bright and shiny things. All is good at GZ, TFTC spiderwebbs4 Smile
 
01-Jan-20
The family and I were enjoying some New Year's fish and chips at the waterfront today, and amidst much eye rolling they all agreed to come for a detour on the way home so I could find a cache or two. I ended up finding 3 along the same road, all quick park and grabs to earn myself a souvenir and a few more smilies. Thanks for the caches spiderwebbs4 Big Grin
