Part of my mission today was to retrieve the TB which Brother Colin had left in here before it was archived.
Muggles everywhere and I wandered around looking for a sign. After about 10 minutes I spied something and put myself into a position which didn't look too unusual to check it out. Luckily the cache was there and so I stayed in that position while I signed the log and replaced it.
A great spot which really does deserve a cache. Pity this one has been archived.

Out and about on the bicycle today grabbing a few caches in the area.
I was able to park the bicycle close by while I searched for this one.
Not to many places for this one to be hidden. A quick find.
The cache was dry and in good condition.
Dropped in a TB. Unfortunately it was archived after I dropped in the TB. Hopefully someone can stop by and grab it.
Thanks for the cache.

Really, really sorry if we stuffed this one up. Muggles were playing out the front of their units but we thought that due to the amount of activity in the area we could blend in. After finding the cache (which took a while) we logged our visit and devised a plan. Most of us performed some family theatrics at a tree south of the cache to distract the muggles while the geolad re-hid the cache. But - to tell you the truth - it didn't look successful with some muggles seeming to keep their eyes fixed on the geolad. They looked like nice people though - so I hope that if they did find the cache that they would read the info sheet inside and then put it back.
=( couldn't spend the time I needed to search properly , I did have a look but muggles in the units above looked at me a few times so I thought I should leave. maybe next time. Lovely spot =)
First I started my search at the wrong object. Then a new try and quick find at real gz

Geospouse (IolantheK) and I found GZ without any problem and located the cache. Took advantage of the park bench to fill out the log whilst enjoying a pleasant vista spreading from Bribie Is to Caloundra as the colours of day faded as the sun went down.
Nice cache.
Nice cache.
How's the serenity .
We arrived at GZ around dusk on a beautiful summer evening. T-Tech found the cache quickly and we sat on the nearby bench to sign the log and enjoy the view. The breeze was light and cool, the water was lapping at the rocks, the lights of Bulcock Beach slowly winked into existence. Sigh... how's the serenity. TFTC and a lovely end to our day

Thanks for bringing us here The Lost Bunch. Cache is in great condition and was found without too much difficulty. Lovely sitting on the seat, could have sat there for longer but there were caches to find

While in the area we decided to have another crack at this one and yep sure enough it was exactly were we thought it was last time but couldn't get to without attracting unwanted attention.

It took a while before we found it.
TFTC during our holiday tour through Australia (coming from the Netherlands).

My gps was a pain in the neck today. Just as I was about to give up I spotted the little beast and quickly had it in hand when a friendly muggle wanted to chat my ear off. Anyway she was so on her way. SL Took Aldi coin left mini erasers and a poker chip. TFTC luv rubz xx
Little bit tricky to retrieve with out muggles getting suspicious, had to be very sneaky. Great View!

Found this one after a frustrating look around. Yet again, Sister prevailed...she never gives up!! Great to look at the water. TFTC
This was our first find!! The kids loved it and Megan and I had fun too.. It was harder to find than we expected but patience paid off.. there was some cool contents we added a NZ 50 cent piece and a keychain!!! we uploaded a photo of the triumph!!
Found it!! Wasn't easy with the co-ordinates given, but the photo helped us find it in no time. GeoKid2 was the proud locator. Added a gold & pearl brooch. TFTC
Had to be very careful who was looking from the balconey or coming along the path. Log dry. TNLN TFTC Thanks The Lost Bunch
Despite the last 3 logs, we found it just where it was supposed to be. TFTC.

Didn't have time for a really good look as we were hurrying back to Brisbane for our flight home to Sydney. However we really enjoyed the opportunity to check out Bribie Island. Cheers... Gaztek
GPSr was sure of the tree it was meant to be at, and after a thorough search we couldn't spot it. We were eventually muggled out, and we did notice the tree had a pruning recently.

A sharp-eyed Sof quickly spotted this little treasure trove. This is the first cache to contain a stash! Great team effort by JKL and co.
First find for 13 year old geo cookie, lovely view. Took nothing left 50cents. TFTC
Quick find after dropping off the hire boat. Cache has no pen so took a photo instead
Tftc!

Even though the GPSr was taking for-ev-er to find any satellites on a beautiful sunny sunshine coast day, the description and clue led me to it without too much trouble.

This one proved very troublesome as our silly old iPhone led us from one tree to another, fruitlessly. We were seconds away from leaving empty-handed when I had one last go and managed to come up with it. Always a nice view here, no doubt about it. Thx TLB!
Nice quiet spot. Easy find after we had to wait 10 mins for some people in the apartments to go inside from being on their balcony so we could get to the cache. TFTC
We needed a cache for today and this was it. Came by after dinner in the dark. We'd tried to find this one once before with no luck. Tonight we came straight to it. Funny how that happens sometimes. Thanks for the cache The Lost Bunch. We hope you find yourselves soon. LOL!. Brought some trackables to the Sunshine Coast for a visit.

After a short stroll, we found it easily. Geokid took the marble & we replaced it with a 50p UK coin. TFTC
Nice hide. Construction in progress near cache but does not interfere with cache.
Came here too late in the day. There is lots of fencing beside GZ but it looks like the cache should be alright. It was dark by the time we got here and our torch was pretty weak. We'll try again on another trip up here when we can see.
This one had us stumped - was disappointing as it should be reasonably easy. Will have another look next time we are on holidays in the area.
This cache was part of our holiday to the gold coast and sunshine coast. Although we did not go as a caching holiday only we still managed to find over 100 caches in our ten days. The density of the caches some of the areas made a quick 10 or so fairly easy. The only cache I really wanted to get was Queens Land, one of the oldest caches in Australia. The family really enjoyed the weather, theme parks, shopping and of course the caches. Thank you to all the people that have placed the caches in these areas.

Lovely views of a busy day on the water.

Have to agree with a previous comment regarding the co-ordinates. We looked at the clues again and quickly found the cache. We counted 38 kite surfers that day!
Caching while visiting geo daughter. Didn't get to view Bribie Island today, rain was too thick. Great fun caching in the rain, picked the right tree to shelter from today. TFTC TNLNSL
Number 7 for day.
Had called past here earlier in the day to find two young male muggles sitting on the nearby seat with numerous beers. Seeing as they didn't look like they were going anywhere we retreated and returned an hour or so later.
This time the cache was found by miss 3 and 6 before dad even had a chance to start looking. Sat on the seat and admired the view for a while. But winding and cool for the middle of summer today though. Did count 15 kite surfers riding the entrance to the passage though.

Man, I picked the right time to do this one. I made my way to GZ and was able to search unhindered. I found the beast after a small hunt. I shouted this one a new bag - as the other one was very worn. In good condition otherwise. The view of Bribie was perfectoday. TFTC The Lost Bunch
Found in the company of Razcav84 and Indigiggle on a Sunshine coast spree while I was up for Raz's 30th Birthday from Adelaide.
We zipped around the coast with 2 kids and I laid a cache then back down South I go.

We went for a walk in the afternoon after the wedding we came for. Didn't find it on the way out but did on the way back. TFTC.
A nice spot for a cache. I was a little worried about all those possible viewing places behind me but the only muggle was absorbed with his paper. Cache found easily.
Took a couple of trips to realise I was looking in the wrong place! Found it and enjoyed the view - it's a lovely spot
The GPS took a while to settle, but the seat came in handy and the view was great. Nice to see the northern end of Bribie for a change! TNLN
Waited until the coast was clear and soon had this one safely in hand. As with all the caches we found along this foreshore area it was a nice spot and relatively muggle free on a weekday.
Found this one after searching a few other trees first. A nice spot to sit and ponder while you have lunch (as we have regularly done for years) TFTC
Lovely spot. Geomum kept lady busy sitting at the bench as Geograndkids grabbed it. Good teamwork. TFTC
Looked here, looked there, looked everywhere Then we went back to where we started and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC
First GC of the day and it is a DNF! On the plus side this normally means I end up having a good day! I checked near enough every tree within a 20m radius but no joy! Lovely view from here though.
Beautiful spot!! Found using the hint and then spent some time taking photos. Weather was perfect today. TFTC The Lost Bunch
