Shores 1 - Eagles Nest Helensvale, Queensland, Australia
By Herbz on 09-Sep-08. Waypoint GC1G59A

I didnt look too hard for it because there when I looked up I saw at least 20 big spiders above my head, and since the resent activity was DNFs I decided to give up

I couldn't find anything but there's lots of trees down so it could still be there. Thanks for the cache Herbz

As I work in the conservation area, I had a look around for this cache, but sadly, I couldn't seem to find it

Once the weather has calmed down we will check to see if this cache has survived.

looked for about 20 minutes couldn't find, have been heavy storms recently so a bit unsure of its status

Easy lad

Pretty hard

That one took me ages! TFTC!

Lots of searching but we got there! Lots of cool pieces left in there too! Thanks

Nice one

Sort of found it

Found it near stump

Last day here in Australia and had some trackables to place, so I headed here, very quiet down here on a Sunday afternoon, found quickly, I also placed a new waterproof log in, tftc Herbz

Gotta love an oldie…

Using my small window of opportunity to cache around the northern burbs of the Gold Coast…

I spent much longer here than I should have…

Ignoring the obvious I looked in all the wrong places before finally widening my search in the correct direction…

Tftc…

A historical cache here! Noting that Herbz considerably have upped the terrain on more recent hides.
Leaving the rest of the series to another day.

Thank you for hiding

The log is fully soaked, probably from the storm recently. But the container is great! Tftc

It is not often that I can cache without the turmoils. Today both of them needed to be at the GC for different events at the same time! So after the 2 drop offs, caching for me it was.  What else would one do to pass the time for a few hours??

Found on 25/07/22

The tree you think isn't the right one.
It's not the tree your looking for. (Jedi mind trick.)

Nearly had to fight some kangaroos off but found it!

Thanks for the find, what an adventure!

This was tricky lots of spiders

Took us ages

Yayy found it with BCCS. Great hide.

Did not find it I think someone might have just taken it could see anything at all

TFTC. Great cache to find, tricked my geo son and I for a while

Spent time searching the wrong fallen tree. Great location and cool hide. Log book was soaked. Tftc

In a tree with some bark covering

was hard to find

Found it!

Easiest one of the day, and the only one where I managed to get away with dry feet. Thanks for the cache

Found it! A bit tricky but was able to locate

Found!

Found and log book signed. TFTC

We have had some pretty bad storms lately and it may of been washed away

We rocked up and saw the log inside the bush and was no way walking inside it lol

Tricky about the tree. Thanks for the cool swap of Asian coin.

Definitely too inaccessible for us

DNF

Thanks for the find! Massive spider on it

Lovely hide in a serene spot. Log is saturated and needs replacing.

Got it quick TFTC

Found by the beautiful Liliana

Took a bit of searching but found it. It does need maintenance the log book is wet and we left some some new swags in this cache

Found it log needs maintenance

Took a little working it out but we found it

Had a meeting at Hope Island and some spare time so grabbed this cache. TFTC Herbz

Found this one easily

Got there when it was getting dark which made it harder to find, but we got it! The logbook is soaking wet so hard to sign but fun find!

Good

Fart

Definitely not there

Not there

Unable to locate

Looked as much as we could and couldn’t find anything, heaps of spiders too

Kids had a great time looking for this.

H

Scary but fun!

Eeeezzzzyyygy

We didn't even know this part of Helensvale existed. Parked nearby and wandered into the trees. Great spot, tftc

Oooooh deceptive!!!!

TFTC!

All good here. Loved the wild cockatoos. Had to widen my search. This is a good sized cashe

Hahaha sneaky. TFTC!

Spent ages looking under the wrong tree
TFTC

Clever

We found it but it was night time and we didn't used the hints.The last time someone found it was in 2018.

Spoiler: photo of area. Broken container found, but I don’t know if this was the cache container.

Thanks for the cache. No birds nesting in April

Tricky with the tree

Thanks for the cache!

Not as obvious as first thought. TFTC!

Popped out to get this one early, nice quite area and an awesome container Nice work TFTC

DNF. Not having a good day, mozzies cut this hunt short.

Today the Mrs parts of 4ando and Slow Puncture were down the South Side putting to rest a couple of previous DNF’s. After dropping in on Herbz for the second time today we looked at the time and neither one of us ready to pack it in for the day so we decided to find a couple of Herbz caches while we were in his neck of the woods that neither of us had previously found.

Turning the corner here to get a park close to GZ we noticed all the festivities being set up in the park for Halloween (and later when we came back through here, there would have been no chance of grabbing a park, so thankfully we were here before the party started, didn’t think I’d ever say that!) We crossed the road where no one was and entered and managed a pretty quick find when we were coming from the right direction.

Wednesday. Out today with Mrs 4ando and collecting some caches. This one was right near where we were needing to be for another appointment, so couldn't let this one slip by. What a lovely sized container for the area! Lots of people getting ready for tonights Halloween event!

This was the 3rd of 6 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***Herbz***, for showing us this place.

FTF kids found an extra surprise - a huntsman

Found it. Cache has seemed to be muggled. TFTC

Eventually found today with Uksquirrel. We have a habit in finding the hardest way into these type of places.. Should have been fairly straight walking. Easily found cache at GZ. Log signed and returned. Appears "locals' have been here and left partial cigs...which I emptied out. All good other than that

Nice easy find with ShazzyP

First find of the day. Parked my car near GZ and went for a walk in the area. Nice hide. TFTC. All good at GZ.

It was confusing finding it because there was a giant fallen down tree right next to the tiny fallen down true where it was so it took a bit to find but it was worth to see the shotgun she'll that was left in it.

Under a log

With friends on ride found eagles nest

There are two faller tees

Not where I thought it would be

Found the fallen tree and what looked like a destroyed cache nibbled by wildlife and top or insert missing. There was nothing to sign. Felt I could claim a find.

After failing to find BushTucker and being eaten alive by annoying flying things, I was determined to find this. The 5 months of overgrowth made it that little bit harder to find.
Might pop back past in a few days and drop a small thing of repellant spray in there

TFTC! Near the cache be careful. Bird is sleeping...

First name in the new log! Almost feels like a first to find thanks for placing and maintaining

Replaced log book. All dry now.

Log book VERY wet. First find of morning.

The cache was quickly found.
Logbooks are soaked & in need of replacing.
Despite what they are these containers are rarely waterproof.
Made our mark & replaced as found.

**TFTC Herbz **

I was looking in the wrong place for a while before realising my error. Cache contents are dry but the logbook is soaked and needs drying out.
TFTC

Found it, all soggy and wet post cyclone but still here. Nice decoy. Bonus points for mozzie swatting? Cheers Herbz
