Early morning run to collect a couple caches. Lovely boardwalk but DNF today. Very overgrown and recent rain has washed out the gully a lot. Need to regroup, read comments and have another go sometime.
Had a good idea that we were looking in the right spot but came up with nothing, might be worth checking on this one especially with all the water around. Great spot though hopefully it’s back up and running soon.
No luck here today with geo friend, looked in every spot as per the hint.

We walked down and gave up within 2 minutes. We did not come prepared with mozzie spray and they were thick! Maybe next time.
This was a lot quicker find than we had imagined a nice hide in a quiet location. Given a favourite due to the rustic board walk. TFTC from the inspectorrexteam.
WE FOUND IT YAYYYYY we found the place where it was supposed to be and my friend found it before you could say “pińa coladas on a sunday” very nice view
Spend a few minutes walking around in circles, then eventually spotted the cache sitting in the open. Placed it back where it looked like it came from.
Find #872 - TFTC

Nice hide with Erm_the_worn she was to scared to go on so I had to nice hide tftc
Loved this spot. Sour_Lemom found this one all by himself and was very proud. Will be returning to go on a proper walk.
So excited my first cache came here yesterday but couldn’t find it, very fun TFTC
Not as far off the beaten path as we first thought, took a while for my location to be accurate
Couldn’t find it, many mosquitoes and the hint wasn’t too helpful was quite fun and going back tomorrow to have a longer look with bug spray
First cache for the day.
I had my "going out thongs" on - the thongs I like to keep clean and dry. Well, they are now relegated to the caching thongs, because I certainly decorated my feet finding this cache!
After doing a few circles, letting the GPSr warm up, I spotted a likely hiding hole, and soon after had the cache and log in hand.
Lovely boardwalk so close to suburbia. The spiders didn't seem to mind my strange behaviour, and the sunshine and fresh air was good for my sanity.
Thanks for the cache - TB visit

I made it difficult by coming in from side st 2 early, & had to bush-bash. I then feared it wood b in the scrub, but no, & a quck findT4TC
Yay another find for today before work. Got my friend into it now. Must look odd to girls walking around in woolies uniforms thanks for the cache that wasn’t a micro.
I thought this would be on the boardwalk given the name. But we soon found ourselves in a lovely cool grove and Miss 10 made a quick find. Thanks for the cache
On the beat letting my feet do the navigation by feel. Over the Ankh Morpork bridge that connects the upper crust of Ankh to the pestilent Morpork. Headed to the Shades.
Fired up the laptop this morning & found we had issues with getting our geocaching account to function properly?
Tried out the official app on both our phones & then tried c:geo but both didn't want to play nice.
What to do when we can't access cache information properly???
Go caching anyway … there are ways & means to achieve positive results regardless. LOL …
A nice quick find for Mrs VC.
Love the boardwalk, loads of character & ambience here, the fact that it's a little wobbly & unstable in places just adds to this! LOL …
Lots of spider webs here.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

Found with Quesera she was much braver than me and went in for the cache, we saw a little green snake nearby, thanks for placing this cache here
What a beautiful boardwalk. Thankyou for taking us here. At gz i took had a little search before i spotted this cache. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
Out for a roll on Evie this morning.
Nice and quiet along here early in the morning. No trouble getting here on the bike.
Thankfully a nice quick find. The log is a bit damp, but OK

Wow! What an amazing boardwalk in the middle of paradise and GZ was just as cool. In the end I had to dodge and swerve like a Russian gymnast with an impending drug test on the horizon but I found a solemn spot to search.
There are sometimes when some newer geocachers leave a cracking one line log that gets you hard and makes a search easy. I was rewarded here because I made a quick find like a gold hunter at the royal mint. tftc

GPS messed me around a bit, but got there in the end. Epic mosquito area bug spray is a must lol
Whoa SOOOOO many mozzies!!!! Went a little too far as GPS was bouncy but geohubby found it before I went crazy with mozzie bites
Out and about Saturday on the Northside on an overcast kinda day doesn’t stop the hardy from an adventure though .
My geodoggy Bodhi was not sure re this one as we entered from the local street between some houses with some very noisy dogs ! Once we got on the quaint little boardwalk though he was in his element! .
There was flowing water under the boardwalk which was delightful! Bodhi was very excited when we headed off the boardwalk for an adventure! With lots of mozzies, we quickly found the cache, signed the log and headed back to the boardwalk. Log was damp but fine today.

Of course we approached from the wrong direction first before realising where we needed to be.
The cache is a bit damp and icky but we still managed to sign our names in the log.
I liked the boardwalk and would have walked along it further but there were other caches to find instead...

Out with wombles and co today and on this rainy day we decided to try to do some that we could be sheltered from. What a beautiful boardwalk and we took the wrong way in the beginning and once we took the right way in we got saturated by the water in the trees. We then realised we werent that far off in the beginning. TFTC
Today's adventurers included barbbowman, Mrs SlowPuncture and me - time limits meant we couldn't travel too far, but it was nice to be back caching closer home
bb and Mrs SP had both found this cache before, but as we were on our way to another hide, they were happy to come along with me to pick this one up. The boardwalk is quite lovely, but it's amazing to see how many weeds are growing in the area - it's lantana city. You can also see that a lot of water has been through the creek, courtesy of ex-tropical cyclone Debbie. Luckily, there wasn't too much of the wet stuff at GZ and I was able to duck in and sign my name on the log without getting my feet wet. TFTC TheFedoraCorps

Caching with Team Nelta.
I liked this path. It was fun to walk on. TFTC

Out with 3/4 of team Nelta (hubby at work), finding a few smilies for the school holidays. Have been to this park a few times with a friend but never seen the boardwalk before! Geokids thought it cool. Found cache easily. Unfortunately it was full of leaves and wet mucky stuff. Removed both leaves and mucky stuff, signed log and put it back. Sad to see a cache trashed. But thanks for the adventure.
I'm on a mission today. This is my 1 year anniversary and i wanted to reach 500 finds.
Work and other commitments have kept me from reaching this target earlier.
With only 10 finds left to reach that milestone, i found a cluster i had not yet attempted.
This is #3 for today.
After checking the map, i devised my plan of attack, only to find swampy ground between me and gz. Check map again and find an actual way in.
Not before too much longer i found myself at gz, and spotted my target.
I could hear people approaching so i tried to keep quiet and not attract any attention to myself.
Managed to sign the log and replace everything as found. It looks like the log book has been wet at some stage but is still ok.
Now 3 down, 7 to go.
Yay!!

Popped in to check how this cache handled the weekend weather . A bit of water came through here . Popped it back in its spot but log book is wet . Didn't have a replacement on me but can replace another day if co needs it done
love a boardwalk in the burbs. lots of places to hide the cache and it took me longer than it should have. it waterlogged but still writeable. tftc.
Found on my run with live2trek and geodog. Needs attention as it was open very wet.
Quick find due to it sitting out in the open see attached photo of cache condition might need some co maintenance
I found this cache with my mum and a muggle friend I was introducing to geocaching. We really enjoyed this cache, and the treasures we found, and there weren't many muggles. TFTC
