Shady Nook Northgate East, Queensland, Australia

Found the lid for this one but nothing else

Have decided to retire this cache as it is struggling with all the recent rain. Thanks to everyone who has visited.

XC returning to NZ... had time for a couple near the airport.. Came here in rental.. Located cache easily enough but it was full of water.. Log soaked but I managed to scrawl entry on waterproof pen. This cache seriously needs maintenance.. I suggest this container is not weatherproof enough for this location.
Thanks for bringing me here.
TFTC #1238

Gotcha !!! Log book is SERIOUSLY WET and needs attention. TFTC

Nice easy find today after a trip to the airport. Water has found its way in to the container and the log is saturated. With no replacement sheets, i dried the contents as much as possible and signed the wet log. TNLN Thanks beegram

A nice little spot, found in the rain, someone pass me a towel.

TFTC

Lovwely little spot. Didin't know this one was here and so on the way home. Wanted to drop off a GCoin that I had hoped to send further afield but forgot it the ohter day when popped down to Adelaide. Hopefully someone will send it on its way. Nice spot and TFTC

Nice park. TNLNSL.

=) awesome hideaway in some great trees...TFTC !! TNLN SL =)

Mrs RF had this one before I even had the clue decrypted. A nice park and a well named cache.

Nice quiet little park. We stopped for morning tea and a bit of a relax before proceeding to the cache. TFTC

This was the last cache of 10 on my last day in Brisvegas. A nice park to stop for lunch and a cache before heading to catch my flight. My thanks to beegram for the cache.

Cleared some cobwebs . Left a soccer eraser. TFTC

At last another find after a string of misses. Some lovely old trees here. Collected 'Princess Esmeralda' TB. Our thanks to beegram.

A quick find at 11:45am in this secluded little lcoation.
Caching with NyletaM
SL.TFTC.

Since starting caching we've had snakes, cain toads, flies, spiders, rain and roaring gales to name a few, but by far the clouds of mossies that seem to lie in wait around the GZ are the most annoying. This cache was no exception with no fewer than a dozen mossies clinging to each leg as we found and signed this cache. Thankfully it was quick and easy or we may have run out of blood before escaping. TFTC

Finally found Princess Esmarelda!!!! She was a little soggy so she had a sun-bake for a bit and then snuggled back up into her little cache.
This is our first ever geocache so VERY EXCITING. Left Pebbleman and took diamond ring. Not too bad without a GPS - google maps was good for this one.
THANKS

Nice easy find.. pity bout the Mozzies. Did this one instead of parking on the Gateway for the afternoon. TFTC!

Found the cache quick but was also found quickly by the trojan mozzies.

Silly iPhone played up but found it in the end. TNLN had no pen so didn't sign log. Thanks.

Second quick grab between jobs in the Northgate area. Nice secluded little spot, well screened from the prying eyes of muggles with lawnmowers.

GPS led us straight to GZ. The Aerogard was working I'm glad to say. TFTC

A shady nook indeed, and the Princess TB is still safely ensconced in the cache, waiting for a white knight (I'm not one). TFTC ='.'=

Nice quiet spot for a change... and yes there were lots of Mozzies, but actually not too many more tan home (we live a few blocks from here)...
Dropped off Princess Esmeralda who has just arrived from South Africa and is still jetlagged!
Glad to see a South African Flag in the cache!!

Looks so different at ground level - this one or this one? Too small? Too big. Not enough space between. Too far in. Too far along? Doesn't help when you are trying to use the hint from another cache - cos it seems to fit. D'oh.

Had trouble getting details for this one. Think human error on my part was to blame. Lent an extra pair of eyes to the search though and tagged it as a find at 2-36am. Lots of Skeeters here. TFTC

It was starting to get late but we pushed on for a few more.
Tonight it was more of a semi-rain proof nook instead of a shady one. [:p]

Found it @ 0235 with relative ease and only a few mozzies (which certainly seem to be rather bad at the moment everywhere)
.

Parked nearby and a nice easy find. Quite a nice park too. TFTC.

Very quiet little spot, not a muggle in sight.

On way to airport to pick up Perth muggle friend.
Found nicely and easy.
TFTC

mozzies were a killer. Someone found it before us that day so tracks were helpful in disturbed leaves!

found quickly - nice area, RID would be useful next to the cache. Logbook signed very quickly

Parked and were merrily on our way following GPS when we discovered the ute sitting at the end of the road was occupied!! -doh- how are we going to manage this with his keen surveillance?? good thing it is such a shady nook. TFTC Took happy meal toy as it didn't quite fit in this cache.

The day had started to heat up when I arrived here, but the shade supplied around ther cache made it much more comfortable. I wasn't there long enough to take full advantage though.

Had an hour to kill and went out to grab some local caches.

This one was easily found by geoson amongst the usual camouflage in this little nook. Nice little park here.

TFTC

Quick find. Escaped before being carried away by the mozzies! TFTC

1602+38=1640

Thanks beegram - it certainly was a shady pretty nook early this morning

Quick find this afternoon and no mozzies or muggles around. TFTC

Found amongst the mozzies! Left sticker, took geocoin. TFTC.

Found by Geofamily who dropped off Spin'n'travel geocoin so it can see more of the world, and took a Sherrif's Badge. TFTC

nice easy find by geo jnr staying in a motel close by to the cache
we might as well get it before going home to W.A

Nice quick find for a laate afternoon. tftc.

Dropped by on the way home from work. The sun was going down and the mozzies were out in full force so it was a quick grab and I was on my way.

Thanks for the cache.

Had a shocking afternoon with the eldest geokids.
Did not find the first three caches but did find the fourth to get our confidence back.
Dropped off Mr Nosy as this is were he wanted to go.
TFTC

Found it at about 6:15pm. You were right about the mozzies!!

TFTC. T: TB

Amazing Area, easy to found!!!!

Since I was on an impromtue trip to brissie for work and I had an hour between my last job and dropping the hire car off, why not make the most of it with a cache!

A couple of minutes later and I found myself in a nice peaceful location.

Nice easy find, and I was on my way again!

Have been to this one before but last time there was a campervan pulled up at the end of the street with the "campers"sitting in full view of GZ so we decide we would leave it alone.

Today we had the chance to return.

Nice quick find today with Baroki Scout.
TFTC

What a nook!
Ta much..
Found with VWNUTS

Easy find.

The cache was found in the open at the GZ. Maybe a muggle had uncovered it?

Entered into the book of LEDGIN'S. Found in the company of Silky Seekers after I was lucky enough to get picked up at the Airport. Located cache OK. TNLN. Thanks beegram

Found while picking Ledgins up from the airport.Good hide. Took Singapore Cable car travel bug and left NZ coin. Thanks Beegram.. Silky Seekers.

An easy find in a pleasant little area. We dropped off the Lucky No. 38 TB. TFTC

A quick, easy grab while out caching with Claeton, nearly got carried back to the car by the mozzies. TFTC

Out and about with Smeeagain a nice east find which was good because the mossies drank our aerogard
TFTC TNLN SL

Nice easy find. The mosquitoes were still out in force . No swaps. Cheers.

The mozzies got a real feast, I killed one that was so fat on sucking on my blood, that the blood got splatterd on the doorhandle.

Thanks

Beware the Mozzies here. we were eaten alive at the sight and they followed us back to car to keep feasting on us.

took some time to get rid of all of them and raven-sa have lots of war marks after the raid

A very pleasant and shady spot to take a break from my "tour de darkside" on the pushbike this morning
The exposed tree root made a very convenient spot to park the bike without it falling over [^]
It's the little things that make a cache find so much more memorable
I found the cache after a look in the nook
Not a mossie to bee seen !!
TFTC.

Nice easy find for Blue Bell and Little Buddy... did our bit for the environment and donated some much needed blood to the locals...

This was a quick find and I am glad for that as I am sure that the mozzies were about to carry me away.

TFTC

Found this one after locating the right tree. Mossies where bad at the right and wrong tree. Nice little spot. Took flower stone, left sherrif badge.

Nice morning for it. Found it with the geoniece

Out on an afternoon northside cache raid.nice easy find TFTC.

Found out on nice stroll with geowife and geoson. TFTC. TNLNSL.

Found out on nice stroll with geowife and geoson. TFTC. TNLNSL.

Found it No. 1265 ... uncovered ... TN and left Chinese Coins

The day was warming up and it was a pleasant spot to stop. However a zillion ants appeared from no-where so it was only a short stop. TFTC

A nice little location - a bit close to the near by property but a nice shady spot - TFTC.

Out: TB.

For all the shade, my GPSr took me straight to GZ. Usually I have to circle around GZ and pick a line into places like this. TN/LN/SL. Apart from the mozzies, it's a lovely place. Certainly a lot cooler than the hot, still and humid bush I was in last Sunday [xx(]. TFTC.

We half heartedly set out for this one the other night in the dark, with only a tiny torch and a sliver of a moon. After inadvertently squishing many baby cane toads while wearing thongs (eewww), we decided to come back and try in the day.
Today was the day!! And gee the light made it a whole lot easier! Found quickly thank goodness as the mozzies were having a feast!! Thanks beegram.

It was 32 degrees so I decided that a lovely Shady Nook was just the place to be. Unfortunately I didn't read the previous logs before I went, so I was ill prepared for the swarm of blood suckers that met me at the cache. Thankfully, it was a nice quick find but I will have to write faster in the log in future. I escaped just before those blighters sucked me dry. TFTC

Grabbed this one while doing another cache close by. Nice little spot, just watch the mozzies, they were hungry today. TFTC

Geocycled around to take out a few caches which progressively became closest to home as others before tehm were eliminated.

Found my way in to this area via few shortcuts made for geocycling.

Cache cover was missing and the cache was a tad exposed but I located a suitable cover in line with the clue to conceal the cache

156 - Found at 5:55pm. One of the approaches to GZ was very wet and muddy but the other way in / out wasn't as bad. Cache in good condition. TFTC beegram.

at 17:30. TNL crocheted hairpin.

A nice little hidden spot. TFTC Beegram.

Last find of the night. Very dark by now. Found the cache with a failing torch. Co-ords spot on. Thanks for the fun.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 9:45am. Not been in this area before: cache not too difficult to find. Out: Geocoin TFTC

Found at 0614. A quick find using the clue in a quiet park.

Cache found to be in good nick and dry. TFTC.

Looks like a nice shady spot to stop off at lunchtime. Cache found in good condition. Signed log and took "Night Cachers" Geocoin to continue it's journey. Thanks.

Dropped by to add "Take me to the river" geocoin.

Aquick find. The shady trees were a blessing today. supposedly 34° today. It certainly was warm in the sun.

Took out the Lapu-Lapu geocoin and dropped in Team Rubik's Night Coin.

Passed through to drop off Lapu-Lapu geocoin.

Found with Gunnie69.

TFTC

Bronze for Silver Sovereign and I as we swooped through the area on the way North. Nice easy find and not a muggle to be seen.

Cheers

Will I or wont I? Hmmm decisions...decisions. I'd left my gps at home and was debating with myself whether to give this one a go.

From the view on google earth it looked pretty straight forward. So the caching side won and I dropped by this afternoon.

Nice easy find...even without the gps

Found the cache dry and in good condition.

Thanks

Well I didn't expect a FTF with this one, just happened to be in the area, bit slow getting there though. Thanks for the prize beegram. Spent a bit of time in the nook, this place would look very different after a heavy rain!!
