Due to the cache going missing and I am unable to maintain any longer it. I will open ths area up for others
Went searching with brownsnake mob first one i have had to DNF on very sad. There was a few major limbs missing on the cache tree but i did find in another tree some baby parrots.
Out in the beautiful sunshine with Nyssaflutterby, but even with a previous finder we couldnt find this cache today
We looked for 45 minutes but had no luck!
looks like treeloppers had been there not to long before,
might of chopped down the cache?

Nice easy find extracted first go lots of muggles enjoyed the view before returning to hiding spot
Found this one quickly on the way home from Woody Point. My kids grabbed the whistle and we left a rubber ball. Thanks
Took frog TB. TFTC.

Nice random find while we had a spot of lunch. There are quite a few muggles around
Grandchildren proved to be a great distraction . Being from NZ were somewhat nervous about places like this! Left One Dead Duck to continue his travels
Found the little sucker. I was finally brave enough to risk snake or spider attack and plunge my hand in where angels fear to tread.Thankfully muggle free

Geokid loved this tree, easy find with her trusty geocaching stick!! Have had lunch here plenty of times before we had even heard of geocaching!!
Found during our morning of geocaching. We really love this views from this area, a part of Queensland we might not have seen had it not been for your cache.
It was so close to lunch time and The Red Dolphin was so inviting we decided to stay a while and partake of the great fish and chips.
thanks

Good to see this one back n line. Quick find in spite of regular movement of muggles in the area.
nice spot... decided to go caching with the fam tonight and the hubby stayed in the nice warm car and sent me out to find it... easy & fun find although its a tight squeeze trying to get it out
Fairly quiet spot this afternoon. What a great spot for hiding a cache! Well done. tftc
does this only need a new log?? I'm going to do a few in the area on thursday... I'd be happy to replace the log book (can you please pm me with what size log book it will need though... i.e.nano/bison etc)
Found it after a very long search. Must have been blind. Found it before it whilst disabled. TFTC.
Log book is full.
Had to wait for muggles to finish playing in tree.

This needs a new log book.
finally managed to find this after climbing the tree obviously unsucesfully!!!
and whilst being the ultimate in UK GIRLY girl convinced that a snake/spider/creepy crawly possibly even a shark would bite me braved putting my hand down the hole...... RESULT a well hidden cache and a safe if not slightly sunburnt cacher!!!
TFTC and Thanks for the memories

As we ate lunch across the road, we observed a muggle family sitting right on GZ. They departed just as we finished eating, so we swooped. Unfortunately, just as I identified the hide, a mugglemobile pulled in aimed squarely at GZ, sitting there while Mrs Muggle got takeaway. She eventually returned, and just to annoy us (I'm sure), they sat in the car eating their fish and chips. We elected to walk to another nearby cache and return to this one, but as we did so we saw a fresh set of muggles descending on GZ with an esky and even a tablecloth. Guess we're not going to claim this one today then. We shall be back.
Glorious day caching with Fore!, Moo & LittleRedShoes. Left PT- specially made for this holiday for the Spoons.
Little Red Shoes, Moo and I tackled this cache whilst the rest of our caching party were out and about today. This was the second one of our hopeful 15 today, but we only got 14... It looks like little red shoes will have to wait another day for her 200 milestone. Great area overall, TFTC.
#2 of 14 for the day - half the spoon set caching while the remainder were floating about looking at dugongs, turtles and dolphins (perhaps a mermaid or two...)
Found at full arm strech! Left PT, swapped rabbit for rabbit!

night time find. second time to this spot. iphone a little scattered on this one but found it eventually and it was obvious 2nd time round.
We got there and my compass wasn't working....lucky I remembered some clues from the log entries and we still managed to hunt it down...left my husband to 'get it'!
Muggles everywhere, but we managed to locate the cache without giving anything away. There could be nasties in that hole, so use a good torch before putting your arm in there. TFTC. TNLN.
No find for me.

Found while out on the hunt with Gunnie69 and Kaisho53 for as many Redcliffe smilies as we could. Gunnie has found this one previously, so caching became a spectator spot for Gunnie while Kaisho and I went in for the find. We came to GZ and found muggles sitting right at GZ, so we stood closeby and took a look at the tree to see if anything stood out. Not long afterwards the muggles got up and left (was it something we said), so Kaisho and I could have a proper look while Gunnie kept an eye on the surrounding muggles. We identified a likely spot for the cache, so I was tasked with checking it out under the cover of Gunnie and Kaisho. A few scratches and attempts later and BINGO! Cache was found.
Log does not need replacing. Only every second page has been completed, so the logbook was turned over and we started signing from the back. Half the book is empty and ready and waiting for signing.
Thanks for the cache and good hidey hole 1uzferunner!

Arriving near GZ we spied a muggle sitting almost on the cache...
Deciding to wander up anyway Gunnie69, Bubbly_One & I arrived just as said muggle decided to move on (caching gods are smiling today )
gunnie & i provided a human shield as B1 scabbled for the cache - talk about "up to you elbows"
Bubbly One & I soon signed log & cache was replaced..

At last I foound this one! I have come a few times to the area but it is very popular and there are always plenty of people at GZ. It is a great spot. The cache is in good condition but it needs a new log book as the one in it is full.

Found on a geocaching day in Brisbane... a really lovely spot... muggles at the table left just as we arrived. Easily found with help from the clue... bring long arms. Left Gecko TB
There was a muggle family sitting at a nearby table when I dropped by so I took a break and when I came back they were gone. Found quickly. TNLN. TFTC
This one took us a while.. It was in deep.. Had a great time by the water. TFTC! TNLN.. Looking forward to the next one.
Had a good look but was unable to find it, anyway thanks for the view & the longer walk had.
We found it! At last, we got the Red Dolphin. No muggles today - too early, windy and cold.
No muggles around today because of the wind and rain. No idea how cachers find this on a regular Sunday. TNLN. Thanks 1uzferunner.
Easy find watching a huge ship leave Brisbane. Wondered if we were being watched from across the road! The tall one knocked her head, but I am sure she will recover. TFTC
Found it on the quietest night I ever seen in Redcliffe. No muggles anywhere TFTC
Beautiful spot, took awhile as there was so many muggles around. Awesome cache. Recommend getting some chips while here : )
#2425. AFter Monday's DNF much reading of past logs was done. That gave us a pretty good idea of where it would be, and this time Troodles delved deeply enough to find it. TFTC.
There's only one way to find this cache and that is to put ones hands into unseen places. Us lily-livered kiwis weren't keen on doing this as we are very wary of the Aussie wildlife. But today we were more adventurous and managed to winkle out this well hidden cache from its hidey hole.

Muggle factor not too bad early on a Monday morning, but after two lots of searching we still came up empty handed.
Really high Muggle factor here today so we had to choose our moment. TFTH
Geo partner found this when shining torch around in the dark. Cache nice and dry. TNLN TFTC Thanks 1uzferunner
A quick 'oppotunity' cache as we were transiting through this area. Our GPSr took us a good ten metres from where we finally discovered the hide. The description says the container is a screw top - we did not find a screw top. Zita double-checked that we had the right cache and not an inferior GCA hide - yep, the right one. TNLNSL TFTC
Not that many muggles about as it was a cool day. Found a lorikeet sitting on two eggs at what I think was GZ in the hole in the tree. So while I did not find the cache I was rewarded with this find.
this was our 3rd time back to find this, too many muggles at other times. a good hide, but a little nervous retrieving it
Too many muggles and iPhone not as responsive as need - think we had the right tree but couldnt find it today
This is definitely Muggle central it is far too exposed to passing pedestrian traffic to enable any sort of
secrecy.
secrecy.
We were early at this place to look for the cache, no muggles around.
Our arms are not that short, but anyway, we couldn't find this one.

I had an early knock off at 3 today at redcliff , so i went for a bo-peep at this one. No one around GZ made for an easy hunt, luckily. I can imagine how popular this spot would be on a fine weekend. I eventually found the 'hidey hole' but it still took a little while to locate the treasure. TNLN Thanks 1uzferunner
No deal tonight with a torch. Nearby muggle was a bit sus, so we didn't linger forever
Could not get close to try to find this one, on two for attempts, for many muggles enjoining the nearby fish and chips.
Unsure if the cache has been pushes right in to the hiding spot by long arms. but as I have only short ones could not find the cache. Have replaced container hopefully some one with long arms will check around for us.. Happy Caching
I went looking for this one as my first solo outing geocaching and couldn't find it. I poked and prodded and looked in every conceivable place on that tree but couldn't find it. A previous log entry saying the container was gone and everything was just in a bag makes me thing perhaps it's been muggled?
If not it's super well hidden!
If not it's super well hidden!
Searched high and low the entire area for one hour couldnt find it at all put hands in big hole even not there at night aswell dam if it is there very hard to find not happy
We looked in all the hollows we could find but couldn't come up with the goods. We weren't game to stick our hand down the big hole too far incase there was anything untoward in there. Anyhow, worth looking. TFTH .... eatmorchikin & Stigglepot
We think we had the right spot - but couldn't find the cache. Hopefully the kids just didn't look well enough and it is still safely there.
Other times when we have been in the area, there have been too many muggles about, not so tonight. It was a little later and the takeaway store across the road was closed. Cache was easily located, however there was no container - just all the contents in a zip-lock plastic bag. TFTC 1uzferunner
Nice spot and nice fish and chips. Alkzura, the geobub and I enjoyed the spot and the food whilst waiting for some muggles to clear the GZ. Once they were gone Alkzura had the cache in hand quickly. TFTC
This one took a little while to get to today. We (NyletaM and I) stopped and visited the Red Dolphin (which was very worthwhile), and waited patiently for our chance to get to the GZ.
Once the GZ was clear, the cache was located quickly.
Reading the logs it seems it was recently found by a couple on their wedding anniversary) - They dropped off a memento and put it back in place.
Thanks for the cache.

A very lucky find due to the fact that all the muggles present were either obscured or facing the wrong way! Nice hide. TFTC.
I have been out this way a few times now and finaly had ths chance to get this one. The geodaughter and I had to take two looks at the clue and logs to get this one in hand. Not to many muggles around today I think it was to cold. TFTC SL.
