Was in the area for this one today but with so many DNF's and an unanswered call for maintenance, perhaps this one needs to go.
 
07-May-12
Had a good look around, couldn't find it. Affected by the 2011 Brisbane Flood??
 
02-Apr-12
this one doesn't seem to be there could owner please check
 
30-Mar-12
Out and about on the geo-cycle today. Smile

The GPSr was out by about 30m Surprised but the hint pointed me in the right direction [so i thought]

No find. I too think this one has gone.

Can the owner please check?

Didn't find it, in my opinion it obviously wasn't there.

Funny to watch Daddy on the ground trying to find this micro micro cache. Great little find.
 
26-Dec-11
Quick find at 1215 with the area to myself. Makes a big difference with the nearby shops closed for the holiday. There was a muggle washing his car but he went inside just before I lighted from my car. Love Nanos. TFTC
 
24-Dec-11
Wow. That is certainly a micro cache. The kids freaked out about it. Well Done. TFTC
 
18-Dec-11
GPS was pointing in a slightly different position but found with little difficulty one I'd read the hint. Cache was on the ground - its method of attaching may be losing its effectiveness - but reattached in the hope it stays there. TFTC!
 
24-Nov-11
GPS was pointing elsewhere, but a quick night find using the hints..

Another little tricky one. TFTC.

Just found enough room to write log. TFTC
 
25-Jul-11
Without the hint, we would never find it because GZ was far off...Mr Bushies2 found it easily. Thanks Alchemy2.
 
24-Jul-11
Coords way off (45m) but the hint was excellent. TFTC

A quick find in the obvious place mentioned by the hint. The cache was on the ground but we replaced it back where we believed it should go Smile

Smallest cache ever. Tftc
 
04-Jul-11
#1 of 6 caches in a 2 hour spree this afternoon. GPS was a little misleading but the hint made it pretty much a snap although not all team members believed in the micro when it appeared, thinking perhaps something had fallen off the bigger object. I agree with an earlier comment that this is just about the smallest micro I've ever seen, and therefore pretty instructive for future searches. It took longer to roll and unroll the logbook than to locate the cache. Memorable!

cool found it.
 
21-Jun-11
Nifty micro tftc
 
18-Apr-11
My one and only find today Smile My work pants were a disgrace after attempting a nearby cache - but I looked subtle as I swooped by and grabbed this one. It was in good condition. TFTC Alchemy2 Smile

Located after a short while, This cache is the smallest micro I have found to date Razz TFTC

We live on Westlake Drive and this was our first 'cache find'. It was cool and in a very safe place. Very James Bond.
 
19-Dec-10
Easy find. Very ingenious. TFTC
 
13-Nov-10
GPS playing games on this one but found without too much drama.
 
10-Nov-10
TFTC - was easy to find now that I know what I am looking for - I am a bit loathe to stick my hand where there may be spiders ewwww lol  This was my 3rd attempt  - I needed to have a "mother's look"!
 
20-Oct-10
Nice easy cache but stealth needed. TFTC
 
08-Sep-10
This was our second visit, but we found it this time. Looked a bit funny to a couple of muggles. Easy find.
 
04-Sep-10
No posties around today, just a short wait for some muggles to get moving before we retrieved the cache.

Thanks, Alchemy2, for another one in this series.
 
16-Aug-10
Am looking for someone to adopt this cache as I have moved to Melbourne.
 
29-Jul-10
It helps that my work van looks like an Aus Post van. TFTC
 
23-Jul-10
Found during a raid on Brisbane with The Rats, Big Matt and Shell and Steeba.

A quick find and on our way to the next one. The coords were a little off. TFTC.
 
23-Jul-10
#4429 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba, Big Matt and Farmer Frentzen. We had to use plenty of stealth here as the carpark had plenty of muggles hanging around.
Thanks
 
23-Jul-10
Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4225th overall find. This cache was our 59th out of 101 for the day.

Found at about 2:40 PM. Found this OK we used the bushes to our advantage, the coordinates seemed a mile out but the clue gives you all you need.

Thanks to Alchemy2 for the cache.

Found with The Rats, Big Matt and Farmer Frentzen as The Gangsters on our Brisbane invasion trip.

There were some muggles in the carpark that we had to avoid but we got there with this nano. TFTC!
 
19-Jul-10
Easy find using the hint but it’s a bit difficult being stealthy in such an open position.
TFTC
 
12-Jul-10
Almost certainly muggled. I reckon someone's already "adopted" it.
If you've left town, please archive.
Unless you know something that I don't...

Found pretty easily!

Signed log and off we went in search of more caches!

This was a funny one,arrived at the cache ,only to find a little green car parked right out side the mail box.What do you do ,out sit them,They thought the same thing ,after a few funny looks we all decided that we all must be looking for the same thing.Yes ,so we all banned together and had the cache in hand .Great to met a pair of geo cachers having fun.

Co-ords were off so needed hint. Couple right across the road eyeing me off while pottering in their garden so luckily I found it pretty quickly and was off on my merry way again. TFTC!!

[GPS didn't want to play but the clue made it easy.] Only ... it is on the footpath side, not the roadside. [I didn't read the clue properly and so left it where it was.]
 
03-Jun-10
Replaced a new logbook.
Its still there safe.
Ready to go.
Happy Caching

Found OK but the log book is overflowing. Big Grin
 
05-Dec-09
Found: Needed the hint as the coordinates were way off for us. The Oregon recorded S27 32.695 E152 55.071. The log is full.
 
22-Nov-09
Easy drive by but log book is still full. Only a couple of early morning walkers to watch us collect the mail.

TFTC
 
21-Nov-09
Nice easy one, just parked the Bedmobile real close and made like I was looking underneath it, Log books full, TFTC.
 
08-Nov-09
Grabbed this one while out for a morning's caching with Mrs Ant and geobub.

GPSr had us about 15 - 20ms away but name provided enough of a clue for us track it down.

Log is now full..............couldn't even get Mrs Ant's name on it.

08-Nov-09
Found this morning while out with Ant24 and geobub.

There wasn't enough room left on the log for my name, but I was there I promise!!!

Found at 0842 with Marg. As Marg sat in the Goemobile and gave directions I found it quickly. Cache is OK and dry. TFTC.
 
13-Sep-09
Found! Sunday afternoon seemed to be a good muggle-free time to snatch the cache.
 
13-Sep-09
Found with Chimpa. Sunday afternoon is definitely a good time to retrieve this one.
 
05-Sep-09
Lucky we had the clue as it was a fair way from GZ. A quick driveby except for replace the log in the container.
 
05-Sep-09
Yep, it certainly took me longer to put replace the cache than to find it. TFTC
 
05-Sep-09
Lucky we had the clue because my GPS sent me way out with this one!! Thanks!
 
05-Sep-09
Drive by for sure Smile

Good Hide and We have lunch at shop!!!! YUMMY!!!!

Found on the way past from a soccer game. Took a while to reassemble.
 
28-Aug-09
Nice easy find this morning.TFTC
 
22-Aug-09
Pulled up and found the cache. How easy was that? I'm getting better at writing my annoyingly long username on these tiny log rolls Wink.
 
01-Aug-09
We too found this cache on the ground. Not sure if a local knows about it, or if it just keeps falling off when the red thing is bumped??

In any case, it is still in great condition, so we placed it back where the clue says it should be.

Thanks for the cache.

22-Jul-09
Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 11:05am. You wouldn't believe that a postal van arrived while we were at GZ and we had to move on. Easy find. TFTC
 
21-Jul-09
6pm is not the ideal time to search for this one.

Everybody wants to post their mail before the Australia Post pickup.

I was thwarted 3 times before I could get near it. Luckily I had a long enough break in the parade to locate it and then had to wait for 2 more before I could replace it.
 
20-Jul-09
Found it No. 1946 ... Easy find ... TNLN

A post-person was sitting on her parked scooter near GZ (I don't know if it was Pat or not!) going nowhere in a hurry - so I headed off to find a couple of other caches then came back and she was gone. Found the cache and used extraction tool from my first aid kit to get the log. TFTC Mortified.

Bombs Away... *FTF* #19 for Gunnie69.

A hat trick of FTFs today and this one was my turn to stay in the Gunniemobile as Silver Sovereign grabbed the container. [^]

After signing the log, SS was just about to drop the container back into place when a car pulled up behind... Surprised

Mmm, should we wait??? Nope, it was Mortified behind us so it could be slipped back into place with no problems... Big Grin

Mortified was doing the rounds and double checking the coords for all his recent releases... Most fortuitous as it turned out as we could grab the correct coords for Stick Situation which we identified as being out yesterday.

Cache and new coords sorted, we hit the road.

Cheers Mortified.
 
12-Jul-09
YAY!! *FTF*!! Big Grin

Gunnie69 felt like staying behind in the Gunniemobile this time so I grabbed the cache, and we signed the logbook...

Mortified pulled up behind us just as I was going to put it back. Well, at least it was the owner!! [^]
