Logs
Had absolutely no luck even though we had some idea of what to look for from reading previous logs. Concerned Muggle even asked if I was looking for a lost diamond. Bless her!
We had a good look - both after ordering lunch at the cafe next door. Then after we enjoyed our delightful lunch and coffee at aforementioned cafe. Great lunch spot. However we too came up empty handed. Mind you the garden is a bit icky all round really with lots of rubbish in it. Did a bit of rubbish cleaning up and got rid of some of it. But did think about what else could be in there as we quietly looked. Then after lunch when someones dog had left a very smelly deposit next to the garden well.....we weren't as interested in looking any more.
Walked here from McKenzies Island searched high and low but found nothing. Not a very good location so close to public toilets
This one leaves one in "fury"
Been here three times before.
This time with an extra hint from another cacher we had luck.
Smiles all round - celebrations tonight!!

No luck for us today, our only DNF for the day that is in theory actually at the coordinates.
Thanks anyway d.d.dudes.

Found GZ but could not locate "Fury".Who ever trimmed the hedge may have found him.Not real keen on searching for caches that close too a public Toilet.
Have tried three times on three visits from S.A.
Have read all the logs and believe we know what we are looking for?? but empty handed every time.
Will return again and maybe get some local help. Hate not finding caches!!

Found with the help of Aussie Liahona have tried for this previously and come away empty handed, with an added clue, was able to go straight to it this time. TFTC
Found this after attending an event at Joyner earlier today. The park area here is really nice, grass green, sand clean and white. I narrowed down the area for GZ but it was Mr Aussie Liahona who made the final discovery. Thanks for placing a cache in this lovely area.
Ha, ha. Came up to the north of Brisbane for the Urban Challenge 2 and then on up here to visit our daughter. After our visit we had to add a few caches to be ready to do our 1000th with a challenge cache tomorrow morning. Asked for nearby caches and this one popped up right across the road within sight of our daughter and her husband waving us off from their balcony. Hunted for a little while when hubby tossed it out onto the grass and we gladly signed the log. All is good with the cache. Log is getting a little roughened on the edges but it is fine.
A perfect day to do this one - drizzly and miserable I had been past before.. but since there were muggle children at GZ - I moved along. I was back today and started the hunt. The GPSr would not settle down - but I decided on an area to start the hunt. I was ever mindful of muggles - and the unfortunate structure the cache is next to next. THANKFULLY it came to hand after only a bit of a hunt. The log is getting a bit tattery but is still usable. TFTC d.d. dudes
A tricky one but was there a while. Didn't want to give up. The dudes are too clever on this one.
Will try again.

951. Finally, even a building has been built next to the location since I was here on my last visit,
Reading the logs since my last DNF helped alot.
Good Hide ! DDDudes - TFTC.

Nice bike ride to location.
Looked for a while but no go. Need to think a little more laterally methinks.
I did find and return some lost keys from a nearby shop... Good deed done for the day anyway.
Will return when there are fewer muggles around.

This one took way longer than we had planned. No one around on this overcast day made looking relatively easy. It also made my GPSr struggle to decide on one particular GZ. Finally got the fuzzy little guy in a spot that i had searched a couple of times already!! Thanks d.d.dudes
Sneaky little hide! Took a little while to find. Arriving just on dark doesn't help, and the iPhone has been a few meters off all day due to bad weather. Starting to rain now as we sign the log Had hoped to find 2 more caches today, but match is now postponed due to rain. TFTCSL.
Looked and felt before we finnally found the ace! At least the kids were happy in the park.
We spent Easter in Caloundra and managed to sneak in a few cache finds whilst here. We had a BBQ lunch here and played on the swings and on the beach which the geokids really enjoyed. The cache was finally spotted after a decent search. The eldest geokid loved the container. TFTC
This was my second visit here but with success today. An interesting camo. TFTC
Took us quite a while to find this very well concealed cache, but there were few muggles around and we were fairly safe. Lovely park, and a cache to make me smile. TFTC ='.'=
Well the building is finished and the cache is still in place – wonders will never cease. Luckily the building provides some cover from muggles as it was still quite a search to come up with the goods. And a new type of camouflaged container as well.
Great cache, thanks d.d.dudes.

I started caching with StormyKnights. My sister and I have decided to make up our own profiles so we can see who has found each cache
May the Geo-contest begin [B)]

Hi, I’m “stellbell 67†and I have been caching as a member of StormyKnights. My brother and I have decided to create our own log-in to reflect accurately how many caches each of us have found (not that we are competitive – hardly!)....
Therefore this entry has been added retrospectively.

Nice to see some effort put into the cache description and the 'hide'.
Basically knew what we were looking for from the clues and previous logs, however, certainly not a 'quick grab'!
Stopped by the canal for a cold drink before moving on.

Without the benefit of the previous log, we searched quite thoroughly and decided it wasn't there. Of course it was and we found it eventually, but what a hide . Nice piece of work dudes [^]. I probably should also mention that there is no need to attempt disassembly of the nearby sprinkler heads either . No matter how suspicious they look (why is there only one of each type?) the cache has nothing to do with them.

This was a sneaky hide. In hindsight it should have been easier with all your hints. We searched and searched and was just about to call it game set and match when I spied the the fury little bugger. TFTC.
[really hard, almost gave up], but then i plunged my hand into the bush and felt that tenis ball and, EUREAKA!
[thanks]
[thanks]
There was no way that we were going to sit on the grass at GZ and poke around. GZ had us in the middle of a grass patch but there was so much dog poo around that really you wouldn't poke around there. No idea what we should have been looking for here. Nicer area near the water though and worth the stop. TFTH.
Oops. I didn't find this one either. It sounds like an interesting camo though. Maybe next time.
didnt find this one tonight,
looked for around half an hour but no luck
ill kick myself when i find it i bet

I must have been so intent on the hunt last time I was here I didn't notice that great big toilet block - but maybe it wasn't there then. Cache's camo is improving with age. TFTC d.d.dudes.
Searched for this one on a week of caching at the Sunshine Coast. Looks like the workmen have finished in the area now as there was no fence now, however after a great deal of searching we have come to the conclusion that the workmen might have done some cleaning up and have thrown the cache away too!
Could see this at all today. A mini bus full of muggles kids turned up so I decided it was time to move on. I will return with the rest of the clan to help with the find
At the coast this weekend for the vets state hockey carnival. I had a few spare hours to nab some local caches Lucky for me the fence was open and the workmen let me in when I explained I was looking for a game piece. cache safe and sound TFTC.
There is a temporary construction fence covering an area about 10m square at GZ. According to the GPS GZ is in fact 1-2m inside the fence. No-one around to ask what is going on and how long the fence will be there. Muggles at the playground equipment so couldn't realistically sneak in.
Maybe this one should be temporarily disabled!

Once again no find. Must be missing a vital clue. How long has the temporary fence been there? I wonder if it is in the way.
Went caching in the dark for the first time. Came at this one from three directions and found the spot to sit (on the wet grass) and came up with this object and discarded it without a second look, then it dawned on me that i'd just thrown away the cache like rubbish. hahahah. Grabbed it up and wrote in the log. The geokid and I are still laughing over our near miss. Thanks dd.dudes. Great hide.
Our 7th find during our 4 day Aussie cache hunt .
Took us a while and luckily few muggles around. Very sneaky hide but we found it. T4TC.

Spent quite a while searching with Gibbo003 with no joy. Maybe the ratings needs a upgrade. TFTH
Tried to find this one 7 months ago and it is still unfound. Thanks any way for the hunt.
After a first pass came up with nothing, I resorted to the thermos to sharpen the Wits. Returned, picked the lowest number on the GPSr, sat and reached and ... came up with something. Recent experience has taught me to be deeply suspicious and ... yes, I had the cache! Great camo, hide, and accurate co-ords. TFTC d.d.dudes.
Here with Team Robbins and no prize for either of us.
Twiny, fury , noodles - seems I just don't get into your mindset dd dudes.

A neat little hide but fortunately we managed to score it easily. TFTC d.d.dudes
Found at 0950, a quick find logged and returned before anybody knew I was there.
Another cache that took us 2 attempts today. Were lucky to run into The Lost Bunch at another cache and they claimed it was definately there.
So back we went to exactly the same place were had been previously and what do you know - it is actually there.
Not sure if the name is Fury or Furry. In any case the cache could be described as furry and it definately created some fury in me when I couldn't find it first go.

SPend some time looking around. First found cache without realising what it was and tossed it away. I had a second look a few minutes later. The hints then made sense. TFTC

Looked again with a wedding in the background. I believe I've cracked the code, but still can't find it. Love a decent hide!!
Returned today after being recalibrated. I'm sure I checked AROUND that spot. Quick find today at 0930hrs with the place to myself. You clever little fellow dudes, well done. I trusted the GPS too as I was right on the spot.

I was going so good today until I tried for this one. Had 10 minutes with no one around but I think I'll need an hour or two! Maybe next time.........
Checked and .....uh.oh...had to replace with fury's buddy!Looks like a muggle moment but not by humans...ha!
On a beautiful fine and sunny day - walking in the park - searching high and low (staying on the path) - bugger!
VERY early in the morning (dawn) before there were any muggles, I spent ONE HOUR here, looking for false rocks, false sprinkler heads, caches in cracks, magnetic things, caches in gaps, AN HOUR, but to no avail. NUFFIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I searched ALL poles, TREES (including the parndana tree for a "false" root) (I found a thing in one tree - but it was stuck fast), I SEARCHED EVERYWHERE & EVERYTHING.
Could the owner please either and/or check it and give me a further hint before I leave, Thanks.

Dastardly muggles... we arrived for our 4th cache hunt of the day on the coast to find too many well entrenched into their spots right at GZ. Searching impossible, so others be warned - lunchtime saturday not the best time for this one as it's a popular spot. We will be back.
the gps was acurate on this one.having a little inside info ,it was a nice find.love the camo.

What a good hide - found with Womblywoo. Had to call a friend. It was pourring down - record rainfall that day apparently!!! TFTC
I was "furyious" that it took so long to find this in the rain, we needed a hint!
TFTC Lovely park!

Went looking for this one with the mindset that it could be tricky, so we were pleasantly surprised when we found the cache within a minute of arriving at GZ. Great camo!!
No swaps as it's a micro, thanks for the cache!

After reading the cache notes I didn't know what I was looking for. Was it a micro or a small cache? Who is fury? I spent a lot of time looking for this one and when I finally worked out what it was I couldn't stop smiling. [^] Thanks d.d.dudes for a very unique cache
FTF, Haa Whoo, Great cache d.d.dudes. Found at 4.25pm. Nice location, muggles busy playing footy in the park but paid us no attention. TFTC

1655hrs. Not a FTF. Beaten by 30mins. Well worth the trip though as it is a lovely area. Beach was a bit chilly due to the wind. Plenty of muggles but they were busy kicking a ball.
