Curlews' Calling Coochie Victoria Point, Queensland, Australia
By THENANKS on 05-Aug-06. Waypoint GCXGYB

No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Perhaps time to archive?

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

I think this one has gone missing.

that's a big negatorium on the finding.

Did Not find this one.. Made sure criss crossed the area and always pointed me back to the same location. It fitted the description but just did not locate anything. Looked at more possible locations around GZ, but still nothing.

Sadly we were moved on from this spot very impolitely, a wedding party decided they didnt like their reserved spot and took over our picnic & Cache search area
We'll be back again soon, picnic blanket and all

GPS seemed very insistent on a particular location and location seemed to fit with the clue but no find. Looked further afield and checked a likely looking location nearby. Racked our brains on where it could be but came up with nothing. Would like to attempt this one again sometime in the future but think we might need an extra clue...

Looked everywhere - no luck

We gave up at 13:16. If it is there the camo fooled us.

As soon as we arrived I saw the mess of chicken boxes and hungry jacks boxes left on the ground. I said to the team "I'm going to pick up that rubbish" and set out to grab a couple of cartons and shove rubbish inside them. The other two were synchronising their GPS/iPhone and looking very serious while I wandered from tree to tree grabbing bottles and trash. Which is how I came upon the cache without any help from GPS or iPHone (left mine at home so I was behind [8] but it was no handicap today). It was strange to see the usual geocacher camo neatly piled at side of cache which was thus visible to the naked eye. Go get this one and see the fabulous view. If you can, pick up some of the rubbish I couldn't get on this visit. It was extra good to find this cache after our meeting with Mr Nanks this morning.

Spent a short while admiring the view from the railing. What a great view it is! Worth coming up here to see. Then strolled towards GZ. Cache under camo but it has suffered a little from all the rain we've had lately. Fortunately, although a little damp around the outside edge, the log was dry. Thanks for bringing us here today The Nanks. Enjoyed meeting you this morning.

Nice quick find. After a quick scout around gz the tell tale sign that indicated where the cache was evident to all good cachers. Lovely park.

We found this nice little park by accident and had breakfast at the local cafe. A quick check of the GPS and there was a geocache here and some information about the birdlife. Thanks for making our trip even more special.

Found with Learn4Life while we were riding around town and exploring. TFTC

Fangsoki and I decided to travel to Coochiemudlo Island and track down the four caches on foot.

$6.80 for the ferry and four hours later we were back on the main land with a score of four from four.

We had parked the car pretty close to this one so we decided to track it down before heading towards home.

TFTC THENANKS.

While signing the log a cache dwelling frog hopped on in.

Having just been over to Coochie Island, we decided to tackle this one before we moved along. I parked the car quite close to GZ. We started the hunt and Radnoski came up with the goods. It was a bit wet inside. I changed the plastic bag and we dried everything else out. Signed the log and returned the cache. TFTC TheNanks

Your right nice - view - walk - find just perfect

Last one for the day and a nice quick one ,that makes 26 for us today

#4495 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba and Big Matt. Plenty of muggles about they didnt stop is bagging a find. We then sat and watched the ferry.
Thanks

Found this cache with steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4288th overall find.

Found at about 12:26 PM. Found this one OK between muggles but the thing that annoyed me was the yuppies with their pretend dog up on the table being fed. Nice thought if your coming out here to eat your meal from the table.

Thanks to THENANKS for the cache.

TNLNSL

Found with The Rats and Big Matt and as The Gangsters on our Brisbane invasion trip.

Nice park near the water with plenty of people enjoying themselves (read muggles [:(!].

The hint made it fairly easy and after having a look at the lookout we were off. TFTC!

This was cache # 36 of 41 on another hard day at the office. A nice area to visit, I had no idea what a Curlew was, must be a QLD bird. My thanks to THENANKS for the cache.

Haven't been out here for years and had forgotten just how close Coochie actually is. TFTC

Turned out I parked the car within a few metres of this before catching the ferry to Coochie. Good thing I checked on the way back to the car, and grabbed it on the way out. TNLN. Thanks. Nice view.

That one was an easy find today.
Thanks for showing that place!
Thanks for the cache. TNLN.
Greetings, Colonel Dago from Germany

Another lovely place today which thanks to geocaching we were able to see, thanks for this one. Nice view and good hiding spot. Thanks again.

nice look out just to many poeple around

First find for the day, and as the Farschke Family! A good start to get the hang of the GPS, the kids found it easily and sparked their interest for more. Love this spot, but watch out for muggles in the busy car-park.
Cache in good nick, took the lucky coins and left a pedometer.
Thanks for the cache!

nice easy find, there was some water in the cache but contents were undamaged TNLNSL, TFTC

Easy find , cache all ok TNLN

#10 today and a great finish. Nice view, great place.

TFTC / I-want-your-cache #552

Nice easy find away from the many muggles in the area, the replacement was a bit harder as some muggles came by, but managed ok. Then had some nice fish and chips from the shop nearby for lunch.

Thanks.

An easy find took S's mum for a cachein' morning this was the first of our 'day on the bay' TNLNSL TFTC

Added wagtail, lapwing, rosellas, honeyeaters and godwits to the list of birds sighted at cache location. Easy find.

Quick find on the way to Coochie today, didnt see any Curlews though.
TNLNSL
TFTC

We timed our arrival well as the area was deserted making for a quick and easy cache retrieval. Unforunately we'd sampled ice creams earlier in the day near another cache and thought it would be a bit much to do so again. At least we have an excuse to return now. TFTC

I've been to this spot quite a few times but for some reason never picked up this cache. Nice spot to revisit!

No curlews and no muggles made this an easy find today. TFTC

Easy find and watch out for curlews very nearby

We are up in the area visiting my daughter and we had some time to kill while waiting for her to come home from work so we thought we'd do some caching. I lived in the Redlands for many years and know this area well - but we were fascinated to find the birds nesting in this area - we saw two Curlews and their babies! Quickly found the cache. TNLNSL TFTC

Two Curlews near by didn't like me strolling around and one decided that I needed chasing away and came after me. An easy find in the end. Great place and nice view. Thanks for the cache. TNLNSL

Nice, quick find. TFTC

found after a short hunt TFTC

Another strike from Black Ops.
A good easy find on the way past.
Thank you again very enjoyable.
Cache OK.
TNLN not even foot prints.

Ogre No:3 found this very easy.
Lovely spot thanks for taking us there.

Timed it well to be here at sunset and it was a nice one too.
No Curlews calling this evening.
Thanks THENANKS

I thought I would take TB 'Tweety the Cache Surfer' down for a surf.
Strange thing though, no surf in Moreton Bay !!!
Oh Well, I will take him up to Caloundra instead

FOUND IT AS CASEYLEE86 AND 80SERIES1990

Found it, Great Views, left Stan the Star Fish

Found by our geohound, nice spot for a picnic for the day.

geohound found it along with myself and 80series1990. took travel bug - worry dolls and dropped off stan the starfish (OCF3VP) take care of him!! beautiful views. TFTC

Found at 1130. A quick find managed to skirt the muggle in the area. Nice park overlooking the sea. The cache OK but log book was damp, managed to sign OK. TFTC.

Took piggie Geocoin, nice easy find whilst the Curlews were watching on.

Found with Geobrother "Where Are We"

Thanks for the cache.


Cheers,
Dazweeja

Easy find,

TFTC

Forgot to mention Thankyou coin briefly visited this one.

One of the Mum's first geocaches. Quick and easy grab just after getting the barge back from a few fabulous days on Coochie. A huge flock of birds were playing a bit further on in the park and were most entertaining to watch.
TN
Left Amy coin and Worry Dolls TB
TFTC
Cheers,
The Stroopids Step Out

Sorry all- a little bit of vacation brain!
Two things
1.Typical dutch coin is not in this cache- it is in My Look at All the Pretty Boats just down the road. Since I don't have this coin any longer I will contact the owner to get the number of the coin to try and remedy the situation. My apologies.
2. The website seems to be acting up (or maybe it is just me again!) as I couldn't get it to let me leave more than one coin/tb in this cache. So also here are the Worry Dolls TB.
Thanks!

How strange I was here 2 years ago before hearing about Geocaching crawling around in the undergrowth trying to get a photo of the elusive curlew maybe I even stepped on the cache and didn't know! Well I found it this time with my scrapbooking muggle ladies. T.F.T.C.

[easy find great spot for ice cream, boating, picnic, going to the island and just enjoying the view [^]enjoy all] under a nice big tree

had fun finding wonderful view.

What a place to spend Australia Day!
Stopped for a BBQ while we were there.
Great one for the kids, thanks for the fun!!
The Jackson Family

Nice easy find while waiting for the Barge.
TNLN

Thanks

Tftc, nice easy find while on an outing with the kids. 2nd cache in oz

Parked nearby and found the cache at 1050hrs. I enjoyed the views and a short walk around the area. I'll have to return with the family. A great sea breeze was blowing and taking the edge off the heat.

TNLNSL

TFTC

Nice and easy. Even left MaPN kid 1 asleep in the car for this one. TFTC

Found it No. 868 ... TN and left Chinese Coins

Found after the A-mad-mazing race event. TNLN TFTC

Teamed up with Team Robins for a few caches after the A-Mad-Mazing race event cache. Lucky for me as I had been stranded without my Sat Nav and they had one handy... [;D] Mrs Gunnie69 needed to find her way home and took said toy to help her.

First of a few planned for the afternoon.

TNLN. Cheers.

We arrived at this cache and had to wait for a muggle to move on before we could grab the cache. it was only minutes before no one was in sight and this made saerching easy with the cache being found in minutes.
A nice little park near the water made this cache a pleasure to log at 12.13pm.
Our thanks to THENANKS for the cache.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "Try saying this cache 20 times fast after 12 rum and cokes, then again after 12 rums I can't even say Coffee" Coffee Clan.

Found as the sun was going down and lots of island-muggles rushing to catch the ferry home. Think like a curlew? Not sure what that means but found it anyway!
TFTC TNLNSL

Parked right in front of it, managed to get it ok but putting it back took sometime as the muggles came for no where.

TFTC

A quick find before we boarded the ferry to COOCHIE ,for a day trip to visit some natives on the Island
no swaps today
TFTC...............

Found it on the way to Coochiemudio Island with ozcymru and everlasting. TFTH took TB

We were down this way, today, for a family gathering so took the opportunity the pick up a few more caches.
This was our third cache for the morning and another great park with a fantastic view. Plenty of muggles about but none close enough to GZ to worry us. Cache was located after a short search.
In - Shell and Cacher Schlumpf TB
Out - Eraser

Out kids love the encrypt logs. Found this one, lovely view. Swapped the keyring for a surprise toy. TFTC.

TeamSVN caches Coochie - (and Vic Pt)! Straight off the ferry, dropped the kit and the tired geodaughter off at the car and made a quick grab before we headed back home. No curlews but a cache is great. Thanks TheNanks - SVN07

WanderingAus wandered by on day ninety-six of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find. I bypassed a lot of micros looking for a cache big enough for my special 800th Find Calling Card, and this was the lucky winner.

My find No 800, L800thCC, TNLNSL, dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

Found easily while killing a few minutes waiting to be shown a catamaran. TFTC

12th for the day after eating lunch with Dannza. Geo sister grateful for the nourishment but Geo Brother-in-Law nabbed this find whilst Geo Sister and I where off with the Curlews. Left Nano Sea Monster Hunter TB to search the beautiful bay for Coochie Sea Monsters.

Lots of muggles near a bit sneaky this one. 12th for the day. TFTC

Wish I found the 10 dollar note before stringy. Love the picnic area.nice and easy find. Muggles could find this easy. But it hasn't been muggled yet.

Thankyou fro the geocache
Regards CIRLY10!

having a lunch nearby I thought I might find it. Took awhile too find but it paid off with $10, I found it about 5 metres from the cache. Found the geocache not long after and brought through tbs.
Thankyou for the geocache
Nice spot
From stringy

Had to be very careful and stealth due to muggles.

Well, it has just gone dark and I have just raided your sons cache at the Y... So I was still itching for one more find, sure enough, I'm scratching around in the scrub and I run into a curlew Anyway just gave my last swap to Geaky's cache, but thanks for the fun!!

Loved the views from up here. Wondered where all the people were, as there were so many cars and few people?? Lovely spot for a picnic as well
Thanks once again for leading us to another great spot

A quick easy find with geokid Steff cache was a bit wett so we dried it as good as we could
