A mercifully fairly quick find on this windy and cold Friday night. Hi to the guy who was polishing his car from time to time while I was parked.
SL. Thanks for the cache. The logbook is damp though signable. Cache wet.
(Logged on Sunday due to GC.com outage.)

out with smeeagain a quick find and though it looked like the owner was home we didn`t think they would care for two seedy looking characters knocking on their door...oh the cache is wet though we did try to dry it out

Found this one during one of our infamous TSD 1824 midnight cache runs. Container isn't particularly watertight, and the contents were sodden. On the positive side, this gave the squishy rubber frog inside the cache a realistic slimy texture

Found with captainflux on a midnight cache run, nice spot.. could've sworn I heard some noises from the undertakers nearby though.

found it ,cords put me right on it . cache half filled with water ,log book still ok though . dryed it out put it back in its place . did swaps , took TB jogger and TS doctor will be on their way soon
This was a proxy visit by a friend from UK visiting family in Brisbane who agreed to drop off a couple of TB's whose stated mission is to travel. The Doctor in the Cache is ours and this is his first cache. The owner of the Waldo Jogger is about to get a surprise at the stamina of his jogger !!
Thank you for your help. Happy caching !!
Thank you for your help. Happy caching !!
I found GZ OK, but struggled initially with finding the cache. That was because there was additional cover over the cover....
Once I had sorted, the rest was easy.
I have come to the conclusion that Cebidae likes to put fellow cachers into situations that require maximum stealth.... [^]
This is the second cache for today where I felt very exposed.... Found with Silver Sovereign.
Cheers

Easy find after unsuccessful @ last 2 caches. Leaving pin year of life savers 2007. We waved! I hope you saw us...
Happened to be driving up this road this evening when I remembered this cache that I've been meaning to stop at for ages. Cache was found quickly, safe and dry. TFTC
Rustled amongst the leaves and eventually found it! Thanks for the cache Cebidae.
Found on our way home from taking the Geo Kids to the movies, a nice little find on Christmas eve. TFTC

I new exactly where this one would be so it wasn't a difficult grab. Putting it back was much harder even though it was late at night. One muggle decided to sit on the steps leading up to the house and talk on the phone. Forgot my invisibility cloak so had to wait for quite some time. Mind the prickles. Left 2 GC's and took 1. TFTC.
On our morning walk we went to Kelvin Grove. As we had only the coordinates and no additional information we had a little search until we found a "dig area".
Took Pacific Jamboree 2007 Geocoin, left TB Shooting Star.

Found the cache at 7.40am. Nice park. Left: JMCz's Australia 2007 geocoin and Pacific Jamboree 2007 Geocoin. SL. Thanks cebidae for organising the cache and hunt.
An easy enough find, after I made sure no one was watching me from the near by houses. Although I was sheltered from the main road, I still felt exposed from behind - TNLN, TFTC.
Found on the Brisbane Caching Invasion with Steeba and The Rats. Was off to a bad start with this one when I put my hand on the ground and ended up full of prickles but got it in the end.
Thanks cebidae for the cache.

In Brissy for a caching blitz with Steeba and Big Matt. This took a little while to find, especially after Big matt put his hand down in some bindys and started dancing around the cache.
Thanks

Had some time to kill between appointments - and this was one of the few that I could find today. A great little spot, so out there for everyone to see but so easy to get without being seen! Took geocoin, TFTC
Second cache of the day. Quick Find, but when i was approching GZ i was attacked by a crazy bird. So be carefull

794 Had a fun days caching with The Green Geckos and Rastas000 and your cache was amongst the hits for the day. Thanks for the find as we achieved our 800th during the trip.
As we leave the shed each day, this cache has been showing as the closest for way too long. Not any more TFTH
A pleasant stroll from another nearby cache. Nice spot, when there is no activity nearby! Took the TB. Left nothing because we forgot our geojunk. Thanks guys.

Ever had that feeling your being watched? We did, and like Rob said, no time to go visiting.

Thirty fourth for the day and cache one hundred and thirty-six on day five of our Brisvegas trip, the cache was found at 1755 in the company of chewinprickles and robmc. We felt we were being watched from all directions on this thankfully we came up with the goods and made a quick exit. Thanks cebidae for the cache.
It was a bit too late to go visiting, so we (eventually) found the cache, signed and snuck off.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found it easily, unfortunately aroused the intrest of two muggles who came around the corner mid-logging. Oh well, can't help that really. TFTC
Found this one on our 24 hour Caching run around Brisbane and the outer suburbs.

Another find on a 24 hour night out geocaching with the visiting South Australians - Skippy and SA Parrothead. A great night and day of geocaching. Log was signed - thanks for the cache.
Took a little bit to find but we knew we were in the right area so kept looking and eventually found the cache.
I was quite fortunate that one of the caches on my list to find was so located so early in my trip. I stopped by to grab the coin out of it and took a scenic meander through the suburbs to get to it. I didn't realise the owners lived near by otherwise I would have come asking for an umbrella! Even for a simple hide the cache was concealed quite well.
Thanks guys,

Had to hunt around a bit to find this cache. Coffee at the blue house but it was too early to go knocking. Needed to talk to the new world monkey about a particular cache just to make sure I wasn't barking up ( or down) the wrong tree - it will have to be an email now. TFTC.
Dressed in my geocaching greens & Akubra hat I must have looked like a gardener 'cause the guy on the mower waved to me before I even got out of my vehicle. The hint is good but gee I had to have long arms in the end. TFTC TNLN
Lots of people around here at night time. The young kids across the road revving their car. Then the neighbour with the noisy dog. Found after a bit of searching. TFTC
Had to stay at work a bit late, as I had another engagement over this side of town this evening. Thought this was a great opportunity to knock some caches off this side of town. Went to this one thinking I would just go in, sign log, and leave ... but when I saw the George TB, I knew my son would never forgive me if I left it there, so it's coming South-side with me! TFTC.
Did you see us come past. Only now do I realise that we should have dropped in for a coffee.
Found it on my way home from work. A quick stop, pick up, and departure. A fun find as I used to live next door to the funeral home and played in these streets as a kid. TFTC and the memories
P.S I am pretty sure that I used to know someone living in your house, waved but noone home.

11:35am Easy find today with caughtatwork. Waved to the blue house, but had no time to visit as caughtatwork was heading home to Melbourne today.
So many caches...we'll be dead tired by the end of the day!

A nice cache to find this morning. We waved at the house, but no-one was watching.
A cute little hide that caused no problems whatseoever as it was in the first place I checked.
Took nothing, left frog and ball..

Found this one pretty quickly. No worries, 'tabmow68' it's still there, so you did good . We had to be careful as well, but with someone to keep watch, it's always a bit easier. TN/LN/SL and went and knocked on cebidae's door. Couldn't stay long as they were expecting visitors and we were on a cache/café mission. Love that Newmarket/Wilston area . Thanks for the chat.
Found easily with Lat&long Junkie then went to say hello to Cebidae- thanks for the chat. TN/LN/SL.
Our 8th cache on the last day of our 4-day break into your sunny state. We were able to park very close to this cache which was lucky as there wasn't much parking around as there was a big truck in the street. The cache container revealed itself after a short search. This was fortunate as the muggles in the truck were starting to pack up and get ready to leave. We quickly signed the log and departed the area. We did not come and say hello today as we were not technically legally parked. Hopefully we will be able to drop in next visit.

Found it reasonably easily but had some muggles appear at the wrong moment. As I stood up with the cache, the builders across the road came out of the construction site. 5pm was not a good time to do this cache as it was their knock-off time. I had to try to look all official, went back to my car and waited until they left, hopefully none the wiser. Just unlucky timing.
Anyway, TFTC. TNLNSL

Nice easy find at the start of my cycle tour from Brisbane. TNLN, thanks cebidae!
#6 of 11 finds on my first night in Brisbane. I found this one at 2045. It was dark, so I couldn't see the blue house with the car port. However, I did see the cache! I made no exchange. Thanks to cebidae for the cache. Cheers, dak.
They they don't get much closer to home then this.
Less then 4mins on the bike and we had the cache in hand
Good to know there are other geocachers in my neighbourhood.

Nicked out at night to grab this cache with The Marble. I waved but nobody waved back [:p]. TFTC! ='.'=
As it was so close to Fig Trees and Air Raid Shelter, thought I should do this one tonight as well. The only person to wave back was La Kedi. TFTC
Found after big brissy brekky. Thanks - nice little hide.

By now we were wandering around the inner north west suburbs looking for caches that came up on the radar, and here was one. Parked close by, and managed to avoid the workman muggle working at the nearby house. Found very easily, signed and away agin. Did the obligatory wave, but it wasnt returned, as far as I saw. Found at 1600 hrs, 8th for the day, and 46th for the trip.

Feel a bit self-conscious with all the houses so close and thinking that cebidae might be watching. A stealthy sit on the ground and appear to be waiting for someone did the trick. TFTC.
Found by Sunshine Toledo at 12:30pm. This was quite an easy find but well hidden cache. TNLNSL TFTC
I'm glad the cache description was so detailed. Found the right spot and then tied my shoelace.
Replaced the cache in a similar motion and then I was gone.

Found @ ~1:10pm.
I had to loiter about for a bit on this one while some muggle pedestrians walked home. I hope I didn't look too suspicious a I grabbed the cache. At least it didn't take too much poking about. TNSL. Thanks for the cache cebidae. Didn't see anyone to wave at though.

Some late night caching and this one proved to be an easy find. Thanks cebidae
I thought we were being watched as we looked for the cache. Maybe it was the owners. Anyway it was a quick find and we were off to the next cache. TNLNSL TFTC
Nice easy find. Had to operate in full stealth mode due to a local muggle sitting out on his front stairs. Gehound to the rescue again. Yep....nothing like looking for the geohounds lost ball to save the day
Thanks
First find for the day with the teen HMF's.
Josh HMF found it easily thanks to the clue. Did not stay long as we have some map cleaning-up to do.
Left a Diabetes TB.

A nice shady little spot to sit and cool off after the bike ride to find this little cache
Some surrepticious poking around revealed the cache after about 15 minutes. If the area wasn't surrounded by houses and locals wandering by it would have taken far less time. Stealth was of the essence
Not a hearse in sight today thankfully [:o]

Pulled up at this one much the same time as Rastas000. Always great to run into a fellow cacher in our travels! Introduced ourselves and proceeded to search. After a minute or two, Rastas turned up the cache.
We left a yo-yo and took the bracelet. Thanks for the cache!

I rechecked the coordinates, and they seem fine to me. But, just in case, I've added some info to the listing:
The cache is in a small garden bed, and would be reachable from the footpath, if the road had one. You will not need to enter the grounds of the funeral home.

DNF... Both GPSr devices I have show this coordinate at 7+ metres onto private property... Is it worth a check of the coords???
