TFTC #7 for the day found with @missy_jordyLog book in bad way and needs replacement
Great spot and amazing view of the city, but it really needs a container and a new logbook as the paper and completely unusable
A drive to the worongary area to chase a few caches that I needed for a particular challenge and for an attribute I needed. This little trail of caches was a lot of fun to do, except for one cache that took me half an hour to find, and even that was with a help from a previous finder. There were five caches in this group, the tree fish was an easy grab and with a fantastic view. The one in the fence was an easy grab. The one in the bush off the side was the hard one to find. Over all it was a nice drive around and thank you for the scenic drive around. There were a few rather large kangaroos at the waterhole of which one stood up to me. I signed all and replaced as found, thanks for the fun around here.
Enjoyed our Worongary Wandering with RoddyC, hatzofff, echocage1Mr poolpool used his height to advantage, before enjoying the 'Best View of All', TFTC GurTheWanderer
Out to do dome caching today seeing it isvmuch cooler weather. Around south of Nerang. With hatzofff, echocahe1, and our interstate friends, poolpoool. Nicely hooked, Mr Popool.Log signed and cache replaced as found at 11:37 AM on November 18, 2023. TFTC, GurTheWanderer
Out today with hatzofff, RoddyC and poolpool. It's much cooler today adding to our enjoyment of the day.Thanks to COs for putting out caches for us to find. A collaborative effort got our paws on this oneTFTC
A day on the coast but chose inland. Caching with RoddyC echocage1 poolpool.Good to have tall people with you.TFTCache GurTheWanderer
Definitely a beautiful view. Needed a tool to get the cache. Luckily the environment provided one tftc
Last one for the day for MrMagoo72 and I. Yes, it certainly is the best view of all - amazing no matter which way you look: Surfers one way and a massive mansion the other way! Didn't take long to spot the cache - and worked out how to access it pretty quickly using nearby implements. Soon had the log sheet in hand and we signed and replaced. Putting it back took a little longer, but we got there! I wonder if it might fall to the ground on a windy day? But in the meantime, a great cache while it lasts. TFTC.
It seems the cache has blown off its original spot as I picked it up off the ground as we arrived. Some recently cut branches were apparent.
Peppa came prepared with the TOTT and replaced cache sans the container (as it was smashed to pieces) on the nearest available branch.

Found with the MCSN Munna Culla Snack Ninjas. First time the crew has been out together for ages.
Peppa has planned us a lovely day for us all
As we pulled up and jumped out of the car Giraffe declared "Found it!" on the ground .
Peppa whipped out his trusty pole and with the help of Trailers located a suitable spot to put it back in place.
Spectacular view btw

The planets must be in some sort of celestial alignment… for what feels like the first time in months all the Munna Culla Snack Ninjas are out together…
It’s only taken 2 and a half years, but I’m back to avenge my DNF… it was Giraffe18 who found the cache as she stepped over it… well that’s not good…
The tree looks like it’s lost a couple of the lower branches, and therefore is no longer climbable… after putting the log into a bag, (there really isn’t a container left) we looked for the best option to return the cache to… there were very limited choices and it’s much lower than I’d like…
Logs either stamped Munna Culla Snack Ninjas or signed MCSN to save space…

Out for a Friday drive with the crew Peppa, PirateLinda and giraffe18. We haven’t managed a Friday out in some time. So good to get out again. Nice drive down to Nerang. Not a tree climb after all. Giraffe18 stepped out of the car and found it on the ground. Cache was put back up the tree by Peppa . Signed the log as MCSN. thanks for the find
This weekend, jesswrigley and I had a trip down the Gold Coast, comprised of geocaching Events, a family catchup, a Wave Break Island kayak paddle, and a Nerang mountain bike session ride.
Today, I had a few hours looking after baby Warren, so we spent the morning with a Nerang walk along the Nerang River, whilst also completing the [Nerang Walkabout](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/bb9d36b8-68c6-4c49-854f-881baf76da8a) Adventure Lab. Then whilst baby napped, we took a drive south to Worongary and completed the *Worongary Wandering* circuit. It was then time to attend the [Nerang Num-Num](https://coord.info/GCA29Y4) Event for a lunch bite, before driving home via a Q1000 oldie at Pacific Pines.
This was an interesting location. There weren't too many spots to pull over as there were hard yellow lines and a small construction fence along the street, so planning for success, I thought I'd just pull into the nearby driveway so I could duck towards the tree. Within a couple of minutes, the neighbour had come down from their house, and was quickly striking up a conversation to what I was up to. I was caught red-handed, so I figured I'd just speak the truth and mention geocaching. By the end of our conversation, she was fine and happy to talk, and was then telling me that it was the residents who constructed the small fence and yellow lines. Apparently, it is those pesky teenagers who pull up here to have a little hanky panky, and leave all their fast food and KFC rubbish here, so I could respect why the residents were having enough, although I do think it is a fantastic view that belongs to the whole public.
With respect to this geocache, I was searching upwards trying to work out where the cache was, and then discovered the cache on the ground. I seemed to think similar to monkey maker, in that I don't believe it is an accident why this cache is landing on the ground (but at least it isn't being muggled). I do believe that the resident had no knowledge of geocaching, so I don't believe she is responsible for any movement on that cache. Perhaps just one to keep an eye on, but otherwise, the cache container and logbook were in good shape. I tried to place the cache back higher, but it was a tough tree to free climb, so I just hung the cache on a low-lying branch, only a few metres up. Thanks GurTheWanderer for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Definitely an awesome view. It would be even better from one of those houses up on the hill. I had to laugh at all the star pickets and cable along the edge of the road, I'm guessing they're there to stop late night stalkers.
We did have to double back on this one as there was a car weirdly parked on someones driveway but on our return it was all clear.
Monkey went high while I stayed down at the bottom. Nothing at first until I spotted it on the ground. Log still damp but signable. Replaced back up the tree but I think maybe someone is removing it.
Thanks again Gur

Found on the ground at base of tree. Log is very damp and frsgile. Hung it back in the tree. TFTC
Find No: 8384. Visiting from Newcastle staying at my brother's at Nerang, loved it, gets a favorite, thanks for the cache and the series!
Found with krcamber while out for a few caches on a wet day. Definitely a great view. Tftc
Watawieh from Norfolk Island South Pacific.
Another visit to the Gold Coast and to do some geocaching. A wander around Worongary in the helped fill in another dot day on the grid. I didn’t need a , I didn’t need to climb the tree, I just reached up and grabbed the cache.

Wow what a view. Quickly reached this one, may not be where it should’ve been. TFTC
Unbelievable, spent ages trying to find this one my first time round. Found it in seconds this time. Glad to finally turn this one into a smile! Thank you!
I really enjoyed the views up here and some of the houses are amazing. I was planning to walk the whole route but it was hot and I am a bit unfit so I only walked a bit of it today!
Someone was flying a drone around here and they flew it pretty close to me, a bit creepy (and illegal).

Came to check in on it because it has been missed by a few. It’s there in place waiting. I am open to reviewing the DT if required.

This one has gone missing twice so I’ve changed the attribute and the DT reflects that accordingly. Bring a reaching tool or you won’t be able to get it. And please put it back where you found it.
Adding my name to the DNF list here... I will admit I got distracted by the view for a moment or two...
Gorgeous views Our Last find after an arvo of Geocaching and we found the travel bug! TFTC
Could not find this one at all!! The view was lovely and I’ll definitely be coming back another time!
Have been holding off doing this little series which is close to my home ever since they were published. Even though it was 38° today I still enjoyed the nice hides around the surrounding area.
By the time I arrived at GZ, the winds were howling and dust or smoke robbed me of seeing a spectular view but I'll make a point of coming back for a return visit on a clearer day.
Another neat hide and a quick find whilst having a couple of cache guardians watching me

Absolutely agree about the view. Would be gorgeous at night as well as in the day. Thanks for bringing us up here to appreciate it by placing a cache here. So glad it was a quick find because it gave us time to appreciate the view and chat with the bird who was very hospitable and sociable welcoming us to the location.
We signed the log and returned as found. All good here. Visited some trackables for miles.
Cheers and happy caching!

What a fantastic view to be greeted with at this cache. It was a quick find but we had a feathered visitor - a butcher bird sat on the side rear mirror while I was in the driver's seat - sat there for quite a few minutes. After it left we were able to head to the next cache.
OMG I glad Aussie Liahona made an easy find at her door as it made it easier for me to admire the view, wow got to take hubbie back for a look. We told joojoo57 not to get out but then she got a visitor that she didn't want to disturb. TFTC
Best view of all is right! So amazing up here, some great houses too! Made a quick find at GZ, TFTC Gur!
With an afternoon free we decided to head south in the hopes of picking up a few smilies.
This was #4 of 9 caches found.
Pulled up & spotted the cache lying on the ground, out in the open IPS.
Grabbed the container, made our mark & replaced as described on the cache page ... under a rock.
Great views of the Goldie from here.

Snagged the first of this series yesterday as we were shopping in the area when it was published. Wouldn't you know it, today we we called into the local pub for some supplies when we saw the emails with 4 new caches. Off we went the 6 kms up the road. It's great we are getting some more new caches in the area.
Second cache today and what a view, expansive and judging by the houses above, expensive too. Funny we have driven on San Fernando Drive a number of times but never up here. Spotted a likely hide as we parked and made the find. Happy to see another blank page. Left some swaps. TFTC GurTheWanderer and thanks for the view. A fave point from us.

After deciding to do this series on foot, it was a tough workout to get this far. Geodog is loving it though.
Amazing views for these lucky neighbours. Quickly found. Tftc
