Great hide, took a while but it thought about the hint then found it straight away

Out with Shazzar66 today. This was a quick find. Signed the log and returned to where found. Thanks peasoup62. All good with this cache

GCLOGAN Friday Looking for another full day of caching, I packed my car the night before so I could get an early start for the day.Today I teamed up with Team Benders. We arrived at location to make a quick find.I found your cache, Swindled today.peasoup62, TFTC, TFTH & TFTSF

Over from NZ for the GCLogan events this week. Just time for a few more on the way back to my accommodation. Spent a while around the obvious new structure, before my long ago school science kicked in and I figured out where the cache was likely to be. A nice quick find after that. TFTC

Yeah its all in the name . Like something different! TFTC

TFTC smile20488 Out and about on a Sunny day grabing a cache to try and keep a challenge going signed as GS1947 on small logs little bit hard to fine Cords out by about 4 meters have a FP Thank you peasoup62 for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Nice one, took a while

This is the second time here. 2 if us searched for quite some time with no luck. TFTC

Search in and around but no luck today

Still not able to find it

Looked on everything yellow and cant find it!

New log and fixed issued

.....

We visited here today and located the cache without to much trouble ,but we were unable to sign the log due to some rusting ,we have notified the CO and have been given permission to log TFTC

We could have been here for ages and ages searching for this cache......but we got lucky and found it fairly quickly. Signed and returned. Good start for the day. TFTC

Im Well its another Sunday out caching in south east Queensland. The weather is definetly warming up.On the Southside today working my way towards a few challenge caches I have on the radar and this cache has taken me one step closer to turning them into smilies.After finding a safe place to park the car it wasnt long before I was at ground zero and the cache was soon in hand. i made my mark and placed it back in its hiding hole. I returned to the car and off to the next challenge.A big thanks to the cache owner for making the cache available to be found.Cheers

DNF got muggled by the cops

I'm not sure if it was the hot day / heat, but it was certainly a frustrating geocache to search for. I did what everyone else likely did and search around the structure, with a lot of good nooks, but when that resulted in no find, I decided to leave it and make my way to the other nearby geocache. In the end, a PAF was required to get the trick, and upon my return, I soon found the well-camouflaged cache. Given its hiding spot and many plausible locations, I felt like its difficulty could be increased to 2.5-3.0. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and my time consumption continued with my need to return to my vehicle to get a TOTT to extract the logbook. Thanks peasoup62 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. ---------- Today, the theme was Worldwide Flash Mob (WWFM XX) with the attendance of dual events in Brisbane. After attending parkrun and baby Cottontail's gym, I managed to score a nearby car park to Brisbane's Goodwill Bridge WWFM event, [Australia WWFM XX Brisbane's Bubbly Bridge 2023](https://coord.info/GCAABM0), and then it was a drive north to Springwood for the [WWFM XX - Come Fly With Me](https://coord.info/GCAB66Y) event. A good opportunity to grab a few geocaches around Springwood with a post-event lunch, and then it was off home with the promise to spend the afternoon with the family.

Out with the mob after Peppa and Karicka 's event at Ikea. Lots of hands and eyes soon had it found. TFTC??

A quick stop to pick this one up after an early morning event.
Cache was found quickly and is in good condition

Thank you, peasoup62, for placing this cache for our benefit and enjoyment

After the nearby event a group of us headed off to find some caches & we couldn't pass by without finding this one. We may have been directed in the right direction by some previous finders amongst us & of course it was found in a spot I had already looked!
Thanks for the cache peasoup62

Found it with group Geo
Thank u

Thanks for share Geo found it

Gr rrr. I feel swindled. Thanks for the hide and maintenance. Glad to have found this treasure.

Well, I don't feel caved by this one. I am just remembering old Split Enz songs. Thanks for the memories and of course, the cache.

Not so tricky when you read the hint.

Found, but no pen... THTC

Cheeky buggers. My very first one, now I know what I'm looking for.

Found it

All good here

Found with podsboots. Sneaky little bugger.

Oh you sneaky thing! My second attempt and it took me ages still. Finally when I was ready to leave, I reread all the comments, and followed exactly those before me and didn’t take long to find. Focus on the hint. Haha! TFTC!!

2nd one for the day!!
Use those eagle eyes!!

Visiting my son and DIL, for 2 weeks from WA so I’m teaching them the game, I guessed that it would be this type of container and when I made the find the shock on PossumMagics face was astonishment. Thanks

Safe to say I've been swindled! I looked around the bridge, under, over, in every direction but I couldn't find the little magnetic blighter. Better luck next time!

No luck today.

All good here

Out with podsboots, couldn’t find it. WE’VE BEEN SWINDLED

you got us. We will be back!

Clever. Tftc.

Out and about with daughter nene2313 who made the find here. TFTC peasoup62

I had been out caching and do a bit of a maintenance run with RoddyC and Hatzoff and on the way home we stopped off so I could get this one. We were looking all around GZ and couldn't see it but as we were walking away and back to the car a last glance and the cache was in hand. Log signed before replacing as found. TFTC

I finished work nearby and thought I’d grab myself a cache before I head home. I opened the app and this one was only a few hundred metres away so I made my way over.

With the car parked nearby I casually wandered over to GZ and started searching. I made sense of the hint, but for the life of me I couldn’t find what I was looking for, I noticed something but didn’t think anything of it until I read I few logs.

After a slight adjustment I was on track and found the sneaky bugger soon after. Unfortunately the coords are slightly out, but if you focus on what you’re looking for you’ll have it in hand in no time!

Thanks for bringing me here today.

We have admired these bridges while driving past so was keen to have a closer look.
After a and a look around we came up trumps.
Log signed and cache replaced as found.
Thanks for bringing us here

Just a quick check ,,,all good

I was in the area after a trip to Bunnings and as I wanted a find for the day for a personal challenge I decided to check this one out.

It was getting rather late and there was a storm threatening but as it was only a short walk from the car I thought I had time but the search took longer than I had intended and I had to make a PAF call and by this time the rain had started and by the time I had signed the log and replaced the cache I was drenched.

TFTC peasoup62

all good here

No luck for me today

Tuftc. Nice quick one. Had to think about it though.

Swindled until I read the clue. TFTC from the Jester-kiwi and the Princess +

Chacing caches in and around logan today... Jackie and I set about potting a smile on this cache. We noticed from previous logs that it quieter on Sunday's..it took a bit to find the cache,signed log and returned it... All good here. Tftc

No luck today

TFTC. Almost got swindled!! Nice hide and cache.

Almost got swindled.

Came at this one on a quiet Sunday afternoon with the car park empty. Searched the obvious first and then went on to something else when all spots had been searched. Was going to leave and accept cache blindness but the last attempt paid off.

TFTC!

Gotcha in the end
TFTC

Second attempt. Where I thought it would be though. TFTC.

On my way home after a day at my favourite craft haunt and I am grabbing a few caches along the way.

I had noticed the new bridges being built on my commute along the nearby roads, so was interested to stop and have a look as well as find a cache.

Checked a few places but realised they wouldn't hold a cache, so moved to another location and checked around. Nothing seemed to be out of order but something didn't seem right, so when I checked it, it moved. A'ha!! Found you. Like these types of hides. SL then returned as found.

Running early for Renaldo’s service I had just enough time to look for this cache…

Having overheard a single remark about it at the last Logan Event, I knew where not to look…

A systematic approach and I was able to spot the cache… tftc…

I missed it on my first pass but spotted it on my next pass. Thanks for the cache

I had found it yesterday but did not know that I needed tweezers to log it. Re found today but a lot of people were driving by, obviously going home.

This is 299 for me so was really happy with how close I am to 300. I also had a feeling that with the hint suggesting it being magnetic that I could not reach it from the walkway. Also after doing a few caches of another user, I knew I might be looking for something that was not an eclipse tin as I have found a few of those as well as a magnetic tin.

Picked up and replaced while there was a minute of dry weather. The pen I used needs to be thrown out as it was hard to log with it. Need to grab my caching pen.

Thanks for the cache.

This is my one year of daily finds.
Took me a while to find this one as my phone wanted me about 8m out all the time. Persisted and made the find
Thank you for hiding this geocache peasoup62
Find number 24120

Saw this come out, but it hadn't been taken at lunch. Had a call from Chamad. Met him at the coordinates and he soon had the cache in hand

A rare [FTF] for us - joint one!

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 2:49 PM on November 16, 2021. TFTC, peasoup62

!FTF!

Caching today with RoddyC and chamad in an attempt to get a FTF. Need your sunglasses everything bright and shiney.

Just had to get on the correct side.

With an early mark from work I saw that a recent new cache was still sitting unfound, a quick call to Roddyc and Hatsofff asking if they had been for a look. We made a time to meet at GZ and search around together.

At GZ there was so much to look at and we wondered around and found too much where you could hide a cache. I read the hint and stood back for a better look. I walked up to where the coordinates put me and then searched using the hint. I found the cache surprisingly out in the open. A simple hide in a great spot, thank you. I enjoyed finding this one. I signed the log with my buddies and then replaced it where it was found.

Ring, ring. Yellow!
