Next up on our mini geouting along the coast was to here...ish.There wasn't so much parking available so we ended up shunting further down the road than expected. No matter, this gave us great access to two caches! First I led campari59 to the beach and the beautiful beachside banksia. Then back to civilization and then to this final. Bringing back two more sets of eyes I was sure to find success this time. Turns out I put my hand on it almost immediately upon arrival. Holy moly. How did that happen. Last time I was here soo long.No matter, bonus signed we all skedaddled back to wherever it is we were going.Realistically my two geocomrades will never do the adlab itself so I'm glad to at least bring them to this final for it and explain the story of the adlab and the therefore themed hide. They seemed most impressed.Thanks Duppers for a fun and informative adventure lab with an equally arresting final gz.

Out enjoying the Sunny coast. After completing the AL time to crunch the numbers and head to GZ. After a bit of a search the cache fell out to my feet. Signed the log and returned to where I found it. Thanks Duppers. A favourite from me

Today teamdfl and I have found time for another crazy day of geocaching. After meeting up at North Lakes for coffee and cake, we headed north with no great plan in mind, and will see where we get to.We enjoyed the walk to the beach following the AL, and then sat down to nut through the details to solve this one. I do like a bit of mental arithmetic We then followed a surprising path to GZ and eventually made the find. TFTC and AL, Duppers.

We completed the AdLab part for this and nearby to the last WP we completed we found a spot to sit and look at the ocean. While sitting we worked the numbers to obtain the finals for this bonus.It wasn't far away and soon we were there searching. It didn't take us too long before we founf the cute little turtle.Thanks for the bonus cache and for the fun AdLab.

We finished the AL two days ago, and knew that we are coming back here today to attend two events.So we did the maths at home, got the okay - because we were paying attention - and found the cache after a little search. We signed the log.Tftc Duppers

Nice one to find at beach after AL walk. I wasn't confident with my maths, but she of little faith found it and the continuing theme bought a smile to my dial.

Out with Muggle65 and Brislions today for a smiley or two. Weather started out grey with a few spits of rain but ended up being glorious. I soon found the prize and our names were added to the log. Thank you for the fun

A really enjoyed enjoyable Adventure Lab which we completed a couple of nights ago after a lovely dinner at Bocca, we returned today to hunt for the cache. Lots of potential hiding spaces here lucky with one of our first checks. The perfect cache for this bonus thanks so much for placing this one.

We are back in Caloundra on our annual family holiday and today the family decided they wanted a day off from going to the beach so I left them all in front of their screens and headed out to find some caches. I needed a bonus cache and a tree climbing attribute today and my filter told me I would find both of those at Bokarina so that was where I went.This turned out to be quite a difficult AdLab to complete. The first challenge was finding a carpark. I couldn't find one anywhere in the new estate area and ended up parking south of Wurley Drive and walking all the way back. It was a nice walk though and I enjoyed checking out the AdLab locations and also the new park and playground. I am curious to know what they plan to build on the cleared site east of the playground, maybe a carpark?At the final location I could not get the answer because the seats were occupied. When it appeared the occupants were not going anywhere soon, I took a walk to the south to look for another cache. On returning I found the seats had new occupants so I sat to wait again and completed the calculations for the bonus cache location. Seeing that it was close I set off again to look for the cache. At GZ I couldn't see a cache anywhere and I ended up clambering up and down the dunes for some time without finding anything. I sent out some help messages and got a quick response which confirmed it was in fact close to the path. A more careful look and I finally found it. Then I went back to the shelter and found the seats free so I could also finally finish off the AdLab. All up the whole adventure took me about 2hrs. Thanks for the fun adventure Duppers!

Duppers I found your cache Hey Bokarina! Adventure Lab Bonus on 10/1/2024, 10:10am. This is my find 6335 and find # 1 today. Completed the AL and formulated the coordinates for the bonus cache. Arrived at GZ and found the cache after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

After completing the AL we sat in the shelter and worked out the coords for this one. With the ok from the checker it was a nice walk to GZ. With many possible hiding places we did look around for a little while before spotting the container. We thought we would be 2TF but it turns out we were 3TF. Thanks Duppers for the AL and the cache both were most enjoyable. Fav from us!

FTF. We completed the AL yesterday and came back today to finish off by finding the bonus cache. We did what was necessary at home to get the green tick for the coords for this one. Set off to Bokarina on another hot day, parked up and I made my way to GZ. The cache didn't take too long to find as the coords where spot on for me, signed log and returned as found. Great AL and a lovely spot for the cache, FP from us. TFTC Duppers Smile

May or may not have been an alpha tester on this one. I dont like the term beta tester,cos I always like to be the alpha testerlol.Brought my youngest daughter with me after dupper got hold of me in the morning and mentioned her brand spanking new AL. Had nothing better to do than test out lemonade while on holidays from the red centre. My youngest absolutely loved the AL,with questions about turtles and wot not , and a trip over to the new playground for a look.Rad Adventure Lab.Thankyou**FP**
