Couple of dnf's and a lot of water lately make us disable this until we can confirm its fate.

We couldnt find this one and we saw that the last find was boxing day, this area has had about a meter of water thru since then, we did find a pen and an empty ziploack bag, perhaps it was washed away?

Didn't find the cache but found a dead crow... sooo gross!
I gave up after a while and geo-bf continued.... we both left empty handed...

Took a bit of effort to find this one --- I couldn't help it, but just had to check the obvious place before widening the search out. Box safe and secure --- contents dry and clean. TN, LN, TFTC.

Found it. after 3rd try. Was tempted to look around the big tree... but it is not there.
The cache need some love. Hope some hardcore Cacher will put some good staff in there. Left some sparking pebble and card.

Gave up at 16:19. Time to get home across the city to cook dinner.

Well Nosugrefs you finally beat us with the fifth of your caches we have tried this afternoon. We had a good look around but if it is there, which it quite probably is, we missed it.

I could not find the cache, but my GPS was having trouble with accuracy. I will try again at a later date. There is a nice park nearby for the kids (I think I saw a kids peddle car train track)

Got this one finally after a number of tries over a number of years. I am suprised this one has lasted so long in the spot it is. Good job.
TW

not in the tree eh.

Tried to find this yesterday but people were studying nearby and had disturbed them so called off the search. Came back today with dogs as sniffers and found within 10 mins. Lovely park.

found this one with the tribe member 2 found it the gps did a lot of dancing around for a long while
ended up bieng right on top it the whole time

I had this one on the radar earlier in the year while working up the road however, I ran out of time. Today I had a day of leaisure and after shopping for a new SatNav, decided to take a detour on the way home and grab a few caches I had previously missed. [^]

I arrived at GZ around 0920 and it was very quiet. One car in the carpark but the occupant was too busy on his phone to worry about me..

I dissappeared into the background and commenced the hunt. A bouncy GPS had me walking around in circles and when I got it too settle, my approach path to GZ revealed the cache in plain sight. I love it when that happens... [^]

Stayed put for business so I didn't attract any attention from the car park and moved on calmly when done.

Cheers Nosugrefs.

nice warm weather and lovely warm park and easy found...

Found it at dusk!! A bit hard in the twilight but a top spot. Another great one for the whole family. The other end of the park has great equipment for the kids. Took: Hong Kong Coin Left: Glow Lizard. Thanks

There were plenty of people hanging out at the other end of the park but no-one anywhere near where we needed to be. The cache was easy to find because it was sitting out in the open. After signing the log we gave it some extra cover.

Thanks for the cache.

A nice quiet spot and easy find. TFTC. TNLNSL.

Found it No. 1298 ... had us guessing ... TN and left Chinese Coins

I have been wanting to do this cache for some time, with the expectation that a busty blonde would appear near the cache like in the movie of the same name. Alas, no such luck. However, I was captivated by the appearance of a blue triangle butterfly nearby. TNLN, TFTC Nosugrefs.

Found at 11.01am. Nice and easy walk to the cache. TNLN TFTC

It was a cool damp morning and we had the area to ourselves. We must have almost stepped on the cache while looking for it!
TNLN TFTC

The kids loved the park nearby. Reading the logbook, it looks like the cache was discovered by the local bushcare group. They called someone to find out what it was all about and thankfully have left it for others to find. Thanks for the cache (the clue helped ).

Nice place here, found it.
Move on next hunting.
TFTC

So this one has a clue for it?? hmmmmm. Not so much saw it as heard it, but cache survived the stomping.

nice creek too.

Thanks

Found today, 3 pm local time, with grandson Nathan. Took Roly-Poly, left highlighter. Took photos. Thanks. MING.

To keep the movie theme going the Usual Suspect was a swimming pool. Walked about then heard the cache. Good hide. Left Hong Kong 20c coin. TFTC.

Yep, not where we thought, took abit of time for us, but we snabbed it in the end!!

Took a photo, thank you!

A popular playground it seems, lots of mugrats about. Took a bit of looking before we came up with the goods on this one.
Many thanks for the hide.

Missed this one the other week as there were to many muggles around. No one today so I had in hand after a short search.
TFTC

We couldn't believe how many people were using the playground facilities today. Thought we would have no chance of looking for a cache but were pleasantly surprised by the privacy at GZ. TFTH

LEDGIN'S visited very quickly this morning. Many mugglers around AND we were approached by a gentleman who informed us that ALL rubbish is removed by his volunteers on a very regular basis. We told him about geocaching and he said that he would let his people know that they should not disturb the cache should they find it.

We did not have time to do a really good search - and we did come away empty handed. Will be back again soon at a more appropriate time.

Taken dinosaur key ring
left rolly polly toy
TFTC

great hide lots of muggles so stealth was needed.tnln,tftc

I thought it was down the middle of a tree that had become a well at first. Would have to have been very waterproof if that was the case! Glad it wasn't!
TFTC!
TNLN

I made a Solo Attempt at this one yesterday only to come up empty handed. We returned today and the cache was located at 12:40pm after much searching. Great hide, how can something be hidden so well in a relatively open spot?!!

This cache was hit on the epic weekend of the "Great Southern Raid". The team ......Powell (nano expert) Bruce, Cooroy (Jack Brabham) scouts, (toughen up)Konie, (how far) curtdog, and (whiplash)
Thanks for hunt!

I was doing my second sweep of the thin leafed green plants that cover the area when the cache was spotted. TFTC

The area was extensively flooded recently, so may have disappeared. Or maybe I'm just blind!

Will look up the hunt and if that helps I'll go back.

Now, I do know my Lomandra from my Dianella, but this didn't help much as there were many lomandras to search. But find it I did at 15.45, after destroying the webs of many innocent spiders. I took nothing, but left a notebook, and did a CITO on the way out as there were many port bottles etc in there. Thanks Nosugrefs FTC.

This is the 2nd time we have been looking for this one. Fortunately we found it this time. I'm sure we would have checked that spot last time.

No find today. Are you sure there is a cache here. Nothing remotely looking like an ammo box was sighted.

These sort of hides aren't my fave's but I employed a technique known as "football" and soon had the hide (gently)! Thanks Nosugrefs.

It certinally took some searching to uncover this little beauty TFTC.

This was our second attempt at this but after deciding to ignore the GPS and go deeper we did finally come up with the goods. We're glad to finally cross this one off our list.

It took a little while of looking around to find this one but success came. TNLN. Thanks Nosugrefs for the cache.

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 11:00am. What a lovely area! Cache was found easily. In: frog Out: keyring TFTC

There were some muggles about but the cache site seemed to be safe to sit an ponder about the location. I know I'll decode the clue[?] Boy that realy helped didn't it.

TFTC

Find 30 of 33 caches today

Arriving at this location there were muggles still around in the western end of the park (thankfully!!) we managed to find the Lomandra and some more and more. With the help of a solid stick and lots of sratching around, the cache was soon in hand.

TNLN

oh thats were it is! much easier with the sun shining.

WE found this in less than 10 minutes,
Damn lomandra, lomandra and then for something different,more lomandra!! but soon we found the sweet spot concealing the cache!
Nice hide, not too hard, just a little searching required!
TFTC, on our way home back north now.

After four DNF's in a row, we checked and found LA Confidential is alive and well in its original hiding spot.

Had a look around but couldn't find it. That doesn't mean that it isn't there, only that I couldn't find it.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

got to the area - needed the clue then the light faded - as arnie says ILL BE BACK.

Bugger! I couldn't believe we had a dnf on this one! Talk about a needle in a lomandra stack, it started raining so will have to return.

After spending a fair bit of time searching for this cache “If†I was heading in the right direction, I have to record a DNF. Unfortunately my GPS requires satellites to work and I could not read any satellites under the tree cover, or if I could the GZ kept shifting. {If I knew what lomandra meant it might help) Anyway DNF

We are starting to get to know you Nossies. You dont hide them in the typical spots but we still keep on looking there ????? . After a bit of a search we uncovered the little blighter. Thanks Nosugrefs for the cache. TNLNSL

aaaargh!,found with the two scallwags below on a great cachin' nite',thanks ftc.

This one was done as part of the late night assault with Nanks and Pirate. Lots of fun caching in the dark. We got into some stuff that is still causing itching today - all part of the fun ofcourse. TNLN. Thanks Nosugrefs

We called off the search for this one after spending a while on it. The darkness, mosquitoes and lack of a reasonable clue made us give up on it in the end.

Well sometimes it pays to read the logs doesnt it - I searched the most obvious place first only to recieve 5 green ant bites on the forearm - then decided perhaps the kids might like to help look for this one after school. Returned later that day and had now decided we had a fairly good idea where to look, when one of the kids saw a snake go right into presumed GZ. You think the kids wanted to keep looking - Nooooooo - lol. Will leave this for another day.

Minor adjustment to coordinates

These Nosugref caches are testing my botanical knowledge way beyond its meagre limits. Oh well, its a learning experience. I had some trouble locating this well hidden cache but its a great spot. TNLN, TFTC.

It wasn't where we thought it would be but we found it without too much trouble.

As we were signing the log book a lady and her son came into the area... obviously thinking that there was something here if we were here.

With log book in hand I just said some things to Mrs Garner such as "Have you got the photos we need", "Do you need any more samples", etc - the lady seemed convinced as she left the area without even looking at us strangely.

Fifteenth of seventy-nine finds on the Big Brisbane Assault with HawMorFords doing the driving and navigating. Found at 1245. This one reminded me of some of the ROBTAS caches I logged in Northern Tasmania last May. There were plenty of potential hiding places, and despite having found it previously, Mr HMF couldn't find it. Mrs HMF had to leave the sanctity of the car and find it for us. I like to know why caches are so named, but the reasoning behind this one escapes me. I made no exchange. Thanks to Nosugrefs for the cache.

I can recommend early Friday afternoon for this cache. Most weekends, this place is full of muggles. I had it all to myself which was a good thing, as it took me ages to find the cache. The first thing I did find, was a packet of Winfield, with matches, stashed in a plastic bag. I was expecting the owners to turn up at any minute, so I was somewhat distracted while searching. Anyhow, found the cache and signed the log. TN/LN and hid it as I found it .
By the way, the hint's not much help as there's heaps of the stuff there

A nice quick find. Had to be extra stealthy to avoid the partying muggles across the street. Left a superman ball and took a hippo. TFTC!

Another pleasant park environment. Had to hide behind the big tree to avoid muggles with bowl lickers. Found the cache the easy way - I stepped on it.. TNLN.

An enjoyable stroll across a pretty little park to GZ... i then looked in the obvious spot before remembering this is a Nosugref cache... ah hah... based on my experience at the previous cache, i let the GPS settle and what do you know... there it is:-)!!!

I grabbed the World Traveller Geocoin.

12.55pm

Had the pleasure of bumping into IF at this cache. After spotting his log at Fun & Games I thought he might be out and about after a couple of new one

Hmmm so that's Lomandra. After the experience to day I'm not sure if I really like it.

We scratched around for a while before IF finally spotted the little beastie

In: Geocoin
Out: Geocoin

I arrived at GZ confident of a quick find
After a quick hour and still looking, who should wander by but Wingaap. A bit more poking around and finally, a cache
Determination won out in the end
Dropped in Two Up spin geocoin.
