Come out and Play! Trinity Beach, Queensland, Australia
By searchwise015 on 21-Feb-08. Waypoint GC19HWB

All good things come to an end.

Time for a bit of TLC.

After the rain that Cairs has had, the ground was very boggy in this region. The cache was pretty much exposed and so I placed it back where I found it. Cache owner may wish to check the position of the cache if convenient. No swaps. TYFTC.

Nice day for a stroll in the park, it was quite hot in the middle of the day so not many mini muggles were around.

Found the cache after doing the puzzle. Looks like it has gotten wet in the recent storms as the contents were a bit damp and there was still moisture inside.

Found it No. 947 ... water inside container ... TN and left Chinese Coins

This nice little park was deserted early this morning so after collecting the required information a nice easy find followed. We were surprised that at 9.15 it had already had two other visitors
Thanks searchwise015 for the cache

Called by for a TB. thanks

Hot Sunday afternoon, left the city to enjoy the breeze at the beaches. Could not help but find this cache before heading back. Beautiful park and good place for a hidden treasure. The numbers game was straight forward. My challenge was to punch the result into my Quest. Eventually figured out a way, trial and error is one way to learn new things. TNLN TFTC. avoloz

Went at night so no muggle problems...container is really full now. Left a few Canadian coins in exchange for an Australian penny, along with a Travelbug who's been looking for a new venue.

Found again by Nav Nuts whilst holidaying nearby. Friends could not find so checking it was still about! Dropped off LARC's Wreched Skull CG #2 Took Ring of Fire TB as we have an extinct volcanoe near by home...

Found quickly with Gazza572003. A few muggles today and rightly so as the weather was perfect. Took roaming wizard TB. TFTC.

Found with bubblensqueak whilst visiting Cairns for a spot of diving & Geocaching. Used to live just a stones throw from this cache but never even knew that this memorial was here, aint Geocaching grand for taking you to new places that you would never otherwise visit. Took nothing but left Ring Of Fire TB. TFTC.

Tried a couple of times today but family near the GZ were not in any hurry to move despite the gale force winds. Will have to wait for another day.

New cache container, so it's off and running again, Ta.

Needs a new container, will be back ASAP, thanks.

Thanks, quik find before taking my son to school.
Took- Taipan strap
left- Magic Wizard TB

Another fun cache made all the more interesting with the three birthday parties being held in the area. Took the Ro-Mer TB, left a penny (as usual) and a gecko. TFTC.

Grrr! Visited this site three times through the day - morning, afternoon, evening - darn mugglett birthday parties!

Picture this - lone male turns up to kids playground three times in one day - seen rummaging behind trees, muttering, looking shifty, cursing, keeps reaching into bag for strange object (GPS), wanders back and forth across the park switchng direction often... Not wanting to make the front page, I figured I would let this one go. My advice - take geofamily and a picnic!

Found our first Australia cache at about 0920. Rico and Kowalski are still jet-lagged, logging late. Lovely park, very nice hide spot and "grape" pun in clue. Took 5 minutes to remember the servce of those for whom the park was dedicated. Quick log-in, because of close presence of muggles. TNLN.

Found this one with family - a nice outing as the kids had a good play on the swings. Small children are also great cover for cache searches, aren't they! Found and took an unlisted TB.

HA dto come up here to get a missing set of numbers. Having solved this cache we now can complete the bonus.

Well, well, well, and who was hiding here? It was Sparkee Krew 5. After hanging out in Queensland, Australia, for some time he reckoned it was time to move on, and that he has done. "And who's taken his place?" I hear you ask. Well that's for you to find out.
What in interesting cache this is! There's lots in it though we TN and LN apart from you know what. There were a number of curious muggle children around so we had to be very careful. We liked the clue given which just gave the cache that something extra.

Found by Mr Emu & Demon Boy on our "FNQ holiday" @ 10.30 a.m., GAFF3 http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/GAFF . Demon Boy loved finding this cache - once I could get him off the play equipment. Nice to see a good-sized cache in such a handy location, and a pity we didn't have any swaps with us on our holidays. Thanks for the well-hidden cache in a nice park, searchwise015.

Got the info and headed off, amazing school holidays and hardly anyone about. T hairclip L purple seahorse and TB. TFTC

Easily found after completely stuffing up the co-ords & ending up 800 meters away in a swamp with roos, mud crabs & a feeling of "this is no place for a cache", revisited the calcs after a coffee at the beach & found iteasily. Nice hide in a nice place, thanks!

An enjoyable, quick multi in a very pleasant location. Found at 5.50pm, fortunately football kicking muggles departed just as I approached GZ. Could imagine this one would be challening at other times. No TBs in cache. TNLN.

Arrived at the plaque and retrieved the necessary figures to find the cache. Mean while the park seemed to explode with people all hell bent on keeping me from the cache.
So I decided to head north and get the info to find A wee bonus. On my return I found two lovers rolling around in the grass right at GZ.[:(!]
I was getting ready to give up when they decided to leave.
A quick dash in and the cache was mine.

Found fairly easily, though retrieving would have been a lot easier if the busy little people didn't have bored big people standing around watching. Did a swap and replaced cache while STW Dad distracted muggle who'd decided to do exercises far too close to the cache site.

Our third and final quick find. We're staying at Trinity Beach and had spent the day up at Palm Cove, found this one on our way back to our apartment. Actually, Isaac's friend Dane found this one - his initiation into geocaching. Took frog, left two signature buttons. Also picked up the Dublin Dragster TB and will help get move it towards it's goal (back to New York, at the end of this week). Thanks for a fun multi.

Still learning the ways and means of caching and I am challenged by the limits of my Garmin but located it eventually.
located with Diesel48.

0940 Found while heading north to enjoy some of the beaches on our first sunny day in Cairns. NO sign of Wedding Ring!!! TB tho'. Brought through a few that were travelling with me. Liked the guardian wolf spider.

Varoom!!!! Located by Diesel48 with Nurcon at 1130hrs. Left Travel Bug DUBLIN RACER after making the trip to Trinity Beach Cairns and took a yoyo for the Grand geomunchkins. Tks. Diesel 48

Found it even with the watchful eyes of nearby young muggles. TNLN.

Found whilst holidaying in the area. Great hide out : ) Geo kids loved park.
T TB Daffy Duck to come home with us, will be released asap!

Great playground in this park, in fact two, we tried them both out as we tried to out wait an muggle with a small child. In the end Mr Explorer and the Little Explorer's had to create a diversion as Mrs Explorer did the retrieval and return. TFTC.

Went back to this one again to get Coordinates for ' A wee Bonus cache'.We are sort of having a 'Groundhog Day', revisiting all these Searchwise015 caches. Fun though.
Another busy place today with lots of kids and parents all playing nearby.
Easy snatch and grab to get the final Coordinates we needed.

Off to find "A Wee Bonus Cache'....

All the muglet children around made this one an exercise in patience. Helped to have some cache kids to distract their attention. Left Daffy Duck Geocoin- we hope he makes it back to New Zealand. He can see the planes from this spot.

Today I came back to the place together with Ingrid to help me finding the glasses. And really, - as one can see on the photo - we finally found them amongst the leaves where they must have fallen out of my pocket when I made a duck to find the container. I am really lucky now to have them back.

I found it in the dusk. Unfortunately I could not find my reading glasses I lost during the search. Have to visit the place again.

This was our last find before heading off to the Wee Bonus cache. There were only two muggle kids in the park so it was easy to answer the question and locate the container. T: Hiding Nemo TB.
