Checked before we left for the uk and it is gone. sorry unable to replace hallfamily

Will try and check this weekend.

Was in the area so dropped by, but the cache is no longer.....found the rocks from the last find but it has been muggled.

I decided to do an after-work raid on this one.

As I approached the GZ, I saw some items scattered across the ground. On further inspection I found the container in one spot, the lid in another and various items from the cache spread around the rest of the area. I searched the area with the LED torch I had but I could find no sign of the log book.

I grabbed all the bits and pieces and fixed it up the best I could with the items in my car. I dried out the container and various plastic items. I replaced the log book and cache note and put in a zip lock snack bag. I also chucked in a pen, pencil and one of those cache dwelling frogs. TFTC

I returned the cache to the GZ and hid it (as per the clue) with a few rocks covering it.

If the next person to visit has a black plastic bag, this may provide a bit of extra water proof-ness and a bit more camo.

No one round, so after some hunting one of our geokids found it. Great views. Took sticker, left bouncy ball.

Found by Mary & David at 1630. A muggle by herself sat near GZ, so Mary chatted on and on while David plunged off on his own to do the honours. Our thanks once more to Hallfamily7.

That's a hell of a cache to try and find at night. Find it I did, though. Arrived near GZ and spooked a couple of kids doing what kids do in darkened places [:X]. They quickly left so I was able to search for a way to GZ. That took some time, then the hunt for the cache went on and on and on. Eventually spied it where I'd looked at least five times previously . I'm sure this cache has legs and was dodging my torch/poking stick combination. After all that, TN/LN/SL and made my weary, wet way to my van. Oh, did I mention it was raining most of the time? I love geocaching .

Nice hide Hallfamily7!
Great little spot to enjoy the views.
TN L:eraser.
Side note: found out later on that this is the spot our brother (in-law) proposed to our sister-in-law not long after moving from Sydney to the Gold Coast - awwwww!
TFTC!

Found with Mr Agap2 scrabbling around on my hands & knees trying to swat numerous mozzies and look for the cache at the same time was glad to get out from behind the bushes. A nice interesting area TFTC Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

Headed up to this great spot with Ms Wig. There were a few seemingly likely spots that ultimatly left me empty handed. With a bit more searching though, eventually found this sneaky hide. Great views up here.

Thanks Hallfamily7.

UP the top with a quick 360 before zooming in to locate this cache.

As I was standing there signing the log my caching partner for the morning was mutering something about how long it took to locate this cache when he found it before he realised I was actually holding the container

Great views but only 270 at GZ.

Just dipping my TB I brought through this cache

Boy i need some sock-overs!!.

Drove granddaughter up this way for school this morning and thought I should reward myself for the good deed by claiming a couple of caches. Found this one with temperatures rising on a hot day. There are so many of the clue to choose from. Checked out a few before I found the right one. Patrick is safe and happy. His outer shell (plastic bag) held a little condensation but his house is nice and dry. Took retractable key ring and Left: Vyrembi geocoin that wants to go to New Zealand. It wanted to travel around N.Z. exclusively, but unfortunately we picked him up on our way to the airport in Christchurch with no time to spare to place him anywhere else. So he came back here with us. There are so many New Zealanders on the Gold Coast I figured this was a good place for him to have a chance to get back to N.Z. Good luck with your travels. TFTC.

I'm sorry. Logged in the wrong coin. This cache contains the Green Vyrembi-Coin flying in New Zealand. Yes, I know, it's not flying in NZ here, but it's supposed to be. We located this geocoin on our way to the airport in New Zealand and didn't have time to drop it off to another cache. It wants to get back to NZ. Can you help it? The Sauerkirche geocoin is not in this cache.

Another morning of jellyfishing on the Gold Coast
I caught up with Patrick mid morning.
He wouldn't come out of his shell for quite a while though !!
With the little park all to meself on a showery day, at least I didn't have to worry about the muggles
After much peering in places whrere I thought the cache should be, I finally spotted Patricks house and got to say hello
I told Patrick how I had found him with help from the clue that the Hallfamily7 had given me
"You mean what we thought they thought we think and thought they thought. We think?", replied Patrick
Oh now I'm confused too
TFTC.
Nice views of Bikini Bottom from up here !!

Good Bush and nice park and BBQ.............

This was cache # 19 of 21 for the day, on my tour of Tamborine Mt while the wife took the kids to Movie World. the cache was found at 1630. I love the work that goes into some of these housing estate parks, the cache was found after a short search. My thanks to Hallfamily7 for the cache.

A really nice easy find, and this indeed would be a GREAT place for a barbeque! Thanks hallfamily7!

Found today (12:05) with geo-daughter (Ally-searching)

Nice location for a cache and an easy find - cache was quite exposed when located.

Signed log Ally made some swaps (see her log)

Rehid cache with more cover so so less likely to be found by stray kids in the area...

Thanks again hallfamily7 for a kid friendly cache

Nice easy find, once I found the way up to the top. None of these streets are on my GPS and I was going around in circles trying to find the road in! TNLN. Thanks.

We went into the bushes for this one, TFTC!

A nice family cache with lots of cute swaps.

Found quickly. It was raining to area was muggle free.

Found in company with Cockney. Easy find. Cache is dry and in good condition. SL TNLN TFTC

Found it No. 1215 ... easy find ... TN and left TB

It was a bit hot out today..... and no luck after a bit of a look around. The muggle in the nearby house stuck his head over the fence and said hello so thought we should leave this one for another day.

Hadn't been up this hill before! My GZ was a bit further off the path than the real GZ, and the clue can be interpreted two ways. Taken literally (and after phoning a friend ) the cache was soon in hand. Thanks hallfamily7.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice location, great views across Pac Pines - nice place for a house!

Must have just missed Eauman_Oz as he nailed the FTF on this one. Maybe I'll beat him to the next one?
