By team_coxy & madmana on 18-May-10. Waypoint GA2071

clan nuts wasnt able to find after 30mins

Team Pepe found this on their second visit. A very enjoyable excercise. We took the orange Metung wristband because Team Pepe knows somebody down there. Had to leave qui ckly due to nightfall but will bring a rainbow hearts pen with a dangly koala.

This was the third cache we looked for today. Again we spent some time finding our way to a suitable parking spot. We then made our way to the track and headed towards GZ. The track was very busy today with cyclists of all shapes and sizes regularly whizzing by. We also encountered several walking, running and dog walking muggles. It is good to see these tracks being so well used even though it makes finding this cache difficult.

Today the area around the hide was very wet so our knees became very damp as we searched for, found and retrieved the container. This was punctuated by breaks to wait for muggles to go by. Interestingly noone stopped to see if we were ok.

We found the container safely tucked away. The container and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for this cache Team_coxy. We enjoyed our visit to this area.

Haven't been to Koomba Park since we placed our cache in there about 11 years ago!Good to see that cyclists are still using the park and it seems that dubious men still prowl around there
Thanks Team_Coxy.

Last of 24 GCA for the day, and another oval and another cricket game on. Walk around to GZ and took a couple of minutes to spot the cache then another one to get it out. All up though, no problems and the log was soon signed.

Headed back to the car, watch an over of the game, but then headed back to the motel.

Thanks Team_Coxy......neat little spot.

Out and about with the kids after spending the day catching Kritters and tadpoles. We drifted past here as the daylight was beginning to fade. The late hour at least kept muggle numbers down.
At GZ it took our team a few minutes to find the cache. The kids loved the contents, but sadly we forgot our swaps.
TNLN, signed and replaced.
Thanks, team coxy, for a nice finish to a great day.

Out for a ride today, stopped here and had a good look from the ends before shoving my hand under blindly. Thanks for the cache here

Took the kids for a short bike and scooter ride and quickly found this one. Great weather meant muggles everywhere. Had geokids on lookout as well as searching. Once in hand, they loved it. Swapped a hundred dollar bill for a large yellow crayon.

Found this one by accident while looking for a GC. Great big cache container, and very well stocked. My son loved all of the erasers. Thanks for the cache, Team_Coxy.

Wow, for the second time this year I was able to open the account of a GCA cache for not only 2015 but for 2014 as well! Out and about this evening, I decided to drop by here for a look and after getting down and dirty , I spotted the nicely sized stash at 19:10.

Let's hope it's not another 18 months before its next find as this is quite a nice spot.

TNLNSL. Thanks team_coxy & madmana.

As I walked down to this cache the long way, I heard a group of kids learning about life in the wetlands. I kept waking and came back after picking up a couple of nearby GC caches. Only one bike muggle to avoid (on a three wheeled recumbent) while searching for the cache.
Swapped a skull rubber for a bunch of mini angry birds rubbers and a GCA pathtag.
Thanks team_coxy & madmana for the cache.

I had ridden past numerous times and on 2 previos attempts I had given up - too many muggles. Finally 3rd attempt no one round and made the grab. Sat down to fill in the log. Took erasor and left Meetung arm band.

First GCA cache, so thanks! Saw lots of ducklings. Also had a bad attack of hay fever, but nobody said the great outdoors was safe!

about to start an evening of caching with ollave and gc.com is down. No worries, use the ipad to look up nearby ga caches and this was the closest so we decided to head here. Loaded up the garmin and headed off for an easy find at GZ. Thanks to team_coxy for this one.

An early morning of caching thanks to lack of sleep and impending heat and thunderstorms (with luck!). I've passed this area a few times but kept going without stopping to geocache, so it was time to grab the few nearby. Approaching GZ I had a good idea where the cache should be hidden but it did take me a little while to spot it (in between trying to be unnoticed by the occasional jogger and cyclist). A quick nip in to grab the cache and take it away from near the track to log in peace.

Oops! I did it again - dropped a travelbug into a GCA cache... Please rescue it and move it to one of the other site's cache ASAP!

No luck today.... I didn't have any notes with me so perhaps my search wasn't as thorough as it might have been, but no container that I could see in the 'usual' spots (and a few unusual ones!)

I'll return next time for a better look.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find caches close to work or home that I can grab each day to keep the caching run going, but lukily I spotted this one on Geocaching Australia, which was only a minor diversion off the path from work to home. I parked next to the pavilion and walked the muddy route around the oval to GZ. As I approached I saw a man walking in the other direction so I slowed my pace and studied the iPhone. As I stopped at GZ he passed me, and looking over my shoulder I noticed that the man had glanced back at me. Hmmmmm .. what strange behaviour as I wasn't doing anything unusual. A few moments later I noticed him walk off the path towards the oval, where he watched me from behind some bushes for some time. This find would have been so quick without a man spying on me from behind the trees!!! Anyway he eventually moved off after I made a few fake phone calls on the iPhone. Once he had gone, the cache was in hand and signed. It's in great condition with all the contents nice and dry. Thanks again to TC for a great cache. Not so sure about the locals though.

A day out on the bike riding along Eastlink trail and other tracks.
I have ridden past here at least 100 times, a lovely spot and easy to spot muggles approaching and make ones self look busy without causing suspicion.
An easy to get to cache and full of goodies. I didn't have any swapsa toady as I was on the bike, so nothing left-nothing taken.
Thanks for this cache in a lovely location and making me stop and rest5 for a while.

W00t! Another GCA cache. And another anniversary cache at that. I was just thinking of heading home when I saw this one on the radar, so being a GCA cache I had to come and find it.
A pleasant walk to the area and a nice little lookout greeted me at GZ.
A quick check of the obvious places and the cache was soon in hand.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks team_coxy & madmana for this cache here today. I love a good GCA cache and this one fitted the bill. Nice size, nicely hidden, nice area and nice swaps. Can't ask for more than that.

Found this cache while on my way to work this morning.

A lot of 2 wheel muggles ride past this point at this time in the morning.

14:05 King Jnr with Snr and Geoprince refusing to get out of the car

The Rain - it was bucketing down with the others refusing to get out of the car I made a dash for this one in a nice spot. I had been here before for another cache and it was great to return for this one.

Our thanks to team_coxy & madmana

This was the first cache of 3 GCA's today and 5 caches altogether.
It was a much easier find than the previous (GC) cache we did here a few months back!!
We had no erasers so no swaps made - the cache is in excellent condition!!

2nd To Find... That was close. I almost got five FTFs today, but I'm glad somebody else got one My partner and I found this nice cache @ 13:45 after trying not to look to suspicious to the Muggles that we riding & walking by. We managed to grab it and made out that we were eating our lunch. I like the theme to this one.

I'd completely forgotten about these Anniversary caches (I had intended to put one out myself, but didn't manage to get around to it) so I got a bit of a surprise this morning when I noticed all the celebratory threads and I thought I'd better check what new caches were out there. There turned out to be quite a number in the area and I figured I'd better join in the celebrations and get one on the way to work - but which one? I considered the 2 Datruk ones as the closest (and directly on the way to work) but I'd been to those spots just a short while ago (and JMelb was doing them after she'd been to the loo ), so I checked out the Solomon's, but it didn't seem to have a convenient parking spot close by, so I checked this one out and, as it's right near the new hi-pressure cache, I figured it was a good candidate so I loaded the co-ords, hopped on my bike and headed off.

I've done a couple of caches in this area before, but that was a long time ago and it's a great area and it was a lovely morning (albeit a little cold) so I really enjoyed the ride and even managed to get my new motorbike off the bitumen and nearly make it into a ride-by. On approaching GZ, it was obvious what sort of hide it was going to be - but the grass surrounding the spot was sopping wet with dew and I didn't relish getting down low as I'd end up with really wet pants. I even considered putting my waterproofs on, but managed to spy the container from a dry vantage point and just settled for feeling around with my gloves on until I had it in hand.

Thanks Team_Coxy and Madmana - a really nice spot for a cache

Enjoy this one
