Missing again & so after some consideration, we have decided to archive this one. The location seems to be a target for cache theft, as surely it cannot go accidentally missing 4 times in such a relatively short cache life time.
So we sadly say goodbye to Australia on Sandpiper after just over 1 yr & 5 mths & 141 finds.

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 find today, another quick and easy after a DNF just up the road.

TFTC!

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.

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

Couldn't sign my name on the log, the pen wouldn't work. Have a pic if CO requires.

Thanks spiderwebbs4 for the cache.
 
TFTC getting the kids out of the house and managing to stay away from other people. Best social distancing activity there is.

Very cute but unable to write on it with a normal pen. Sharpie would be better

With a country wide lock down no doubt on the horizon due to COVID-19, today was probably the last opportunity I'd have to get out to find some caches. So after spending the morning doing chores (haircuts for the boys, tidying the house, stocking up on supplies), I drove over to Newport to try and find some of the caches that'd popped up over the last few months.

Nice to pick up this one after it'd gone missing the last time I was here.

Thanks!!

Friday. A quick trip today out on the bike with Que Sera. I arrived first so had a quick look for the cache container. Spotted it very quickly with the help of the hint (this turned out to be one of the few caches that we spotted quickly as some later caches turned out rather difficult to find). Unfortunately, my pen didn’t like the surface of the log book. Luckily Que Sera’s pen worked and so we left our mark on the small log and headed off to grab some more caches.

This was the 1st of 15 caches found on this outing.

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

I am on holidays and can't go anywhere due to covid . I am only going grocery shopping and 1 bike ride a day. I am using hand sanitizer before and after touching the cache just to be safe . Today I met up with Mrs slow puncture and we used our social distancing . It wasn't long before we spotted this cache. Thankyou for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Grabbing some caches here for leap-day numbers.
Interesting to see how some live, what would I do with a house like that when all I want to do is be outside?

This was a good find.

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. Second cache of the day and this one was a quick find. All good here, TFTC spiderwebbs4 Smile

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

We had to come back for this one as it had been disabled on our first visit.
Getting to know what to look for in this series and this one didn't disappoint
It didn't take long to discover, retrieve, sign log and replace before moving on.

Went to the North side today to try and fill a few gaps in my Challenges so why not pick up a few others in a close area. Some tricky hides and some that I had trouble with their magnets and a few that drove me crazy trying to return their log to the cache. Thanks for taking me on a tour of the Canals. Will return to finish off. TFTC
