By CaleD on 17-Feb-08. Waypoint GC19FG3

Archiving (at last!)

Found it eventually. Wasn't in original container. It is ripped up and Stuffed in a Mints Container. Good cache to do whilst on holidays

Found too easily, it should be changed

Found it quite easily needs maintenance though couldn't write on it, after the rains it lately it all fell apart in my hands, tftc

Needs maintenance couldn't write in it after the last rains good easy find for my first one though

Lid missing. Log very wet after rain. Greetings from Sweden. TFTC

Had a early walk before the family was up and about. Found cache quickly. Was not really hidden, and was not a film canister. Replaced as found. Thanks tho!

Quick find tftc!

Found whilst waiting for lunch! TFTC. Definitely needs maintenance.

TFTF, family asleep good time to go for a walk and geocaching, early morning heaps of people around. Cache is need of replacement lid is missing and log is damp

Cache is in poor condition lid is missing and log is damp.

Found it...

Found it

Found it

Found it! No muggles around on a cold winter night. Lid has broken off though and it's stuffed full of tattered paper logs, so it could do with a visit.
TFTC!

TFTC!

Found it.

Nice one!

Brought some new cachers with me and they are already hooked

Tftc. Lid has come off mint box. Will need maintenance.

Awesome my first geocache! Did it with my husband. Let the hunting begin!

Awesome location - watch out for the cops on their segways! Yew!
Not in a black film canister anymore - it's a small red lollie tin - didn't leave note as no pen!
Our first find :0)

Quick find while out grabbing a few caches with Kramen. [email protected] TFTC CaleD

My turn to find this one with Hawkeye Posse.

Thanks for a great view! The cache needs a service visit, but its in a top spot.

Quickly found now for a swim it's lovely & sunny and the beach is lovely here TFTC

cache find # 1380. A nice easy find, after having a few DNF's. TFTC.

We spent a lovely day looking for caches and finally on the 3rd one we found one awesome excitement with the kids and the geo kids tribe

Geo_Kids were super excited to find this cache, we have done several hard ones today and had no success so glad to have done this easy one TFTGC

Tftc!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

great cache

Quick find after a swim & sun bake nearby. TFTC SL

Quick find

First timer found this one! Thanks

Found the tree but didn't find the canister. Bad time of the evening as too many muggles around. Cars too. Searched for a minute or so but no luck.

Grabbed this one quickly this morning. Found easily as per the description with the updated container noted in previous logs. TFTC. SL.

Found it
Now in red eclipse container with smiley faces
The places

This is my 700th cache but beRly wasn't. I was about 5km north of here with I my 80m left to walk to my 700th cache when my phone rings and I have to head back to pacific fair to collect my fiancé and mother in law. There was a surf carnival on so I may not have been able to grab it anyway. So we then drove 1.5km north if here to Alfred st and parked. I then left them straggling and ran ahead to this. Found easy and signed with my leaky pen. I'm not sure where it has leaked yet. Still looking. Tftc.

Windy night, Easy find.

Found this cache whilst down on the gold coast for the day with Nyssaflutterby and Lady Membsec. We were heading around grabbing the paradise series and it would have been rude to ignore any caches that were between them.

We parked the car at the closest car park and enjoyed the short stroll over to GZ. We stood there for a minute waiting for muggles to pass and looking up at the hill that we were just at. I spotted something that looked a little suss and on further inspection saw the cache container. We signed the logbook and replaced as it was found.

This was a quick stop off for Net88 and myself on our whirlwind caching adventure on the Gold Coast today. We parked Spangle as close as possible and strolled the few metres to GZ, enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze. Net88 found the cache without a hassle,we signed the lg book and then replaced the cache as we had found it.

Thanks for the cache CaleD

Quick and easy. Nice breeze and TFTC.

Found on a beautiful walk up the coast. Nice easy find. TFTC

Found with 3 Lost Girls. On holiday. Walked 2.5kms to this one. Hubby had the car. Quick find and cache tin rusting. Quite conspicuous with the bright colours. Hope it doesn't get muggled. TFTC

Tftc

Just coming off a high from finishing the Paradise Series so I thought I would celebrate with an early morning dip at Miami Beach. Could not pass this one up as it was so close to where I parked the car. Easy find. The concealing object seemed to be very lightweight but no good alternatives around that were suitable. Cache in good condish though. Tftc

Went "swimming" here at the beach - more or less (the waves, the waves...)

TFTC !

We were holidaying at the Gold Coast, so (of course) took the chance to find some geocaches!

We had to take the Mum to the doctor (she's doing fine, thanks for asking), so while she was there, we went to find some caches (rather that waiting in the car with six kids...). This was close-by, so we started here. I gave the GPS to EM (kid #2) and she found it easily. In fact, too easily: It was very visible. We tried to hide it a little better, but not sure we were successful. Perhaps the CO should check.

TFTC. A lovely spot. #368.

Easy find on early morning walk. Cache was visible on approach and due to people around did not spend time trying to find better hide may pay to check.

Found on our bike tour from Paradise Waters to Coolangatta and back. When logged - our Easternmost find. TFTC!

Sunday sessions withhearts. Our first find! Happy days:)

I took a walk along the sea shore barefoot and climbed back to the street to find this cache. Boy, it is so beautiful here. I love the sea. TFTC!

Quick easy find funny looking film canister nice beach TNLNSL thanks

Quick find but log book was full I left a loose sheet of paper until cache owner can replace tftc

Our very first geocache

Nice and easy and great views

I had been up on Magic Mountain earlier this morning and I could see the tree from up there. But with a group of female muggles doing their morning ritual only meters from GZ I decided to come back on the way to work. So by the time I got back they were gone and I only had to deal with the occasional walking muggle. Lucky for me I didn't have to dig around so I had it fairly quick. Added my name then replaced.
Watched a kite surfer trying to find his feet before I took off.
TFTC CaleD

Nice and easy this one. Might need a bit of camo as cache could be seen from quite away off. Could easily get snatched by over enthusiastic street cleaner.

Seems someone changed the cache to a chewy mints...

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Great spot. Close to another great ache and a great view of the ocean. Tyftc

Thanks!! We left a shell great one to do at night!

Great night for geocaching!! Local beach & love it! Thanks!!

Poor old Nobby's beach has taken a battering! Thanks CaleD

Quick easy find:) This kind of cache never gets old, thanks!

Some night time caching with friends, this being the second of three finds.
Thanks for the cache, it's dry and in good condition

Thanks easy find. Good fun

#623. With a black film canister in mind, I started feeling in amongst the roots despite seeing the brightly coloured chewey tin tucked away thinking someone had put it there as rubbish. Amazing transformation from a black plastic to a brightly coloured metal cache container. Confirmed on the original log that this really is 'CaleD is Going Nuts at Nobbys', SL. TFTC CaleD

# 6224 Found on our 2013 winter escape trip to Qld.
Met up with Blacklegend and Poynts95 once again and had more fun finding caches.
No muggles around here now and another quick find logged and off again.
Another day of the 31 day challenge completed as well.
Thanks for the cache CaleD,
Roostaman.

Easy find. Or lucky lol. Tftc

Found at 3:49 PM GAFF1. Well we really have had a fantastic time working our way up the coast finding caches. We have been along here as early as 35 years ago and it was nothing like it is now of course. So much has changed - even when we were last here in 2009!
The cache was found quite quickly as it was totally exposed - probably appeared as rubbish to any muggles, but it is a brightly coloured Eclipse tin and not a black film canister.
Thanks CaleD.

Great find lovely winter day !
Team LGL

Great little cache spot. TFTC!

Long delayed logging, signed as robd. Date may be out by a few days, but I found it during our stay in Coolangatta. TFTC.

Easy find, as stated previously no longer in a film canister.

Nice find. No longer a film canister! TFTC.

Quick find on the way home TFTC

Quick find with the geokids!

Found trying to tire daughter out before her midday sleep. Been raining for three days straight so nice to have a dry five minutes to find this one.

Out and about after a half day at work.
A quick find after managing to park almost right next to GZ.
Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy find, we do enjoy the eclipse tins. Tftc

Not many muggles around so this was an easy find to pick up. TFTC

Quick find at 11am inbetween showers.
Container is no longer a film container though.
TFTC

This was a place that I got a couple of stories from my muggle parents about visiting the nearby units many years ago. It seemed to be a really nice spot, right near the beach.

But of course there was a cache hear and what other reason would we have for heading here. There was two potential places and of course I choose the wrong one to look at first, but moving to the second it was not long before the cache was in hand. Really is handy having a second person along, means someone can hold the container while you sign the log

TFTC

Went for an early morning walk and picked this up just as the sun was rising. A bit of a challenge finding an opportunity to nab it between muggles, even at this early hour. TFTC.

Found the cache easily and stood watch while hubby retreived it. As we signed we discussed the cracks on all parts of the container and since we had a similar sized spare container in our stash bag we did a swap. Added some butterfly beads and tucked back in its nutty spot.

Man, we felt very obvious out here, lots of muggles about enjoying the nearby walkway and school holidays didn't help either. I have some of these containers in my cache kit in my car which was a bit useless here admittedly since we were caching in Rainforests car. TFTC.

opps logged wrong find here
but we did find it.

safe but not well.

cache container had deteriorated lid and crack in the bottom. we don't have anything like that to replace it with. Bliss Baby and I both felt a little exposed here circling the GZ.

Nice easyfind for the morning.

Good spot TFTC

Lots of muggles about. Looked very suspicious! Great find. Left an ace

Nice spot, easy find. TFTC!

Found in its published hiding place after a short walk along the Nobby front. Quiet a lot of storm damage to the beach. TFTC CaleD.

Nuts to you to LOL. On a windy day on the coast no one much was out running or walking so had the place to ourselves to retrieve the very visible cache container. Hidden a tad better now in the same place. SL TFTC

Came to the coast for a scuba dive but that was cancelled due to weather. Found this cache instead. It was a quick find despite the Miami Board Riders meeting and BBQ right nearby. Sadly the container is in serious need of repair. The bottom is split and the lid is cracked around the lip in about 5 places. Won't last much longer. Unfortunately I didn't have any caching supplies with me as I was not planning on caching while underwater today.

The last 2 days a storm swept across the Gold Coast and Brisbane, dropping a lot of rain. We stayed safely in Brisbane and restarted our holiday today. This is our first cache today and gave us the opportunity to check the damage of the storm.
The cache survived.
