While Geodude dived right in, I stood back and contemplated the clue. Found it straight away!
 
15-Feb-16
Cool hide. Even though it's the middle of the day no one was about which made it a quick find... Thanks to the hints, lol. TFTC.
 
12-Feb-16
Very clever cache
 
12-Feb-16
Second time looking for this cache and finally found it. Very good hiding
 
18-Jan-16
Not a quick find for us today. We looked and looked but obviously not in the right places. There was a lot of activity in the nearby area and it was so stinking hot. We looked for perhaps 10 minutes and then gave up. Thanks anyway.
 
16-Jan-16
Quick find with the geokids. Thanks trekking Trev
 
06-Jan-16
That was easy! Not as "hard" as everyone says.

27-Dec-15
Found it after a little bit

Almost gave up, great cache!
 
19-Dec-15
Found Smile
 
01-Dec-15
Hints weren't helpful, didn't end up finding it
 
30-Nov-15
With only a handful of caches left in this area to find, I made my way here to pick up a smiley. Arriving at gz, I was think "Oh great, another one of these." I have an abysmal track record with these types of hides. Nonetheless, I quickly spotted container, signed log and returned as found. Noted hundreds of swarming cache guardians. Great hide TT. TFTC.

What a Veritable, Viable, Vibrant, Visionary, V cache, that finally fills in my needed V for noVember! Smile

Today the area was empty, so the search was easy, but it didn't take long before this V as in my hands.

Thanks Smile

Went for a drive to Deception Bay, and grabbed a few caches on the way.
Searched for a while, but it was eventually located. No muggles loitering.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Treking Trev, for us and others to find.

03-Oct-15
Will try again.

Big Grin Finally a smilie for this cache.

Tftc

Not my first visit, but with more knowledge. Knew what I needed to find this time.
Placed back into its hide, a little more in cover to protect from weather.
 
22-Sep-15
Looked for around 20 minutes, still could not find even after looking at the hint

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Treking Trev. We found your cache "Valve" at 11:03:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11450.
[Blue]
Today was just the sort of day for a sight seeing tour around some of the roads in the local area. We picked a random cache and let our GPS decide our route by going to the "next closest" one.
In our travels we found 5 (and DNF'd 2).
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Easy find!
 
15-Aug-15
Hehe! Found it! Took me a couple of minutes of rummaging around in the dark but I eventually got it. This is my first cache. Totally hooked, will look for more now. Thanks!
 
09-Aug-15
Due to family commitments, we had one week without geocaching. So today we went out to get some more smilies, accompanied by my Lone Reindeer and Colorado as Harry Hamster with Ellie Elefant had been dropped off before.

Could have asked my son to look for this cache, as he is working round the corner .... but of course we did it on our own. No muggles as it is Sunday.
 
09-Aug-15
Quick find thanks to hint. Smile

Great container. I have not before seen one of these used as a cache. Took a little while to find because of the unique container.

Very nicely done. To avoid muggles, don't go during business hours.
 
26-May-14
Muggles a getting suspicious....had to give up. New to the game, will be back to try again.

This was a surprisingly difficult cache to find. The rick wall isn't particularly big, but the hide is very well executed.
Found at 3.30am in the dark by HotandSweaty.

Good little hiding spot
 
14-Jan-14
In Brisbane from Townsville to visit family. This is the closest cache to where we are staying, so an afternoon walk was in order to find the cache. Arrived at the GZ with a pre-conceived idea of what we were going to be looking for ... and we were wrong. Took a few minutes, but we eventually found the prize. TFTC Treking Trev. SL. {#471}. B

The valve was checked off. TFTC
 
11-Jan-14
That could have been so much harder, I hate rock walls! But went straight to this one. TFTC
 
07-Jan-14
A nice quick find tonight by torch light. I imagine that this would be muggle mayhem during work hours! Thanks for the hide Treking Trev.
 
07-Jan-14
Had been here before during business hours, too many muggles. So tonight out caching with the glanville girl, it didn't take long to spot this one.
 
08-Dec-13
Out and about with Whint today Big Grin It took some planning last night to find an area that had sufficient caches we both hadn't found. The place was empty on a Sunday afternoon, except for one young couple in their car Razz It was a pretty quick find here. No idea what the hint meant, but obviously we didn't need it. TFTC, Treking Trev.

Found with IolantheK whilst having a fun day of caching. Parked across the road and made our way to GZ... not sure what the clue meant but the cache was found quickly and all good here Smile

Tara (9) found this for us (now a huge fan), we did have some clues from friends who had already found this. Very quiet on a Sunday morning, didn't get any strange looks.
 
28-Sep-13
Went to have a look this cache is in a public place. Will come back another day
 
17-Sep-13
This was a very good one. Took us 4 times going back to it. Suggest going at about 6:00pm you don't get weird looks all the time.
 
16-Sep-13
I think it has been taken
 
31-Aug-13

Bit of a hunt and about to go to fight another day and we stood back and bingo! GeoLady had it in hand. TFTC
 
10-Aug-13
I hate to admit it but after a couple of unsuccessful visits at night to this one I brought the geoboy before sundown and he had it in hand in moments. I blame the dark not my cache blindness. Great hide. TFTC.
