Doggone 5 - Moet's Birthday Nerang, Queensland, Australia
By grundies on 11-Oct-09. Waypoint GC1ZQNG

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Looks like container has gone missing again. Disabling until i can replace it.

2nd DNF today bit upsetting 1 more than home....need COs help

We hoped it had been put back but had no luck

Easy find. Left an M sticker in memory of Moet and also for our pup Monte

Easy one to find but a nice walk to get here.

Thought I'd take our new Geo Pup Eevee out for a bike ride to check this one out. So glad I did! Had no idea this nice off lead area was there! Pup was super excited to have a run around whilst we looked for the cache. Glad I spotted it without too much kerfuffle as it was getting dark and I was reluctant to climb around, I really need to get some better caching shoes!
Anyway Tftc! Glad to see another like mine dedicated to mans best friend. A nice memory for Moet.

Nice walk around the park. TFTC

A nice quick easy find in a lovely area TFTC

Nice walk thanks for the GZ

After completing the other caches in the park I figured I should probably grab this one too. I'm glad that I did as it brought me to a spot I wouldn't have come to otherwise. I drive over the nearby bridge regularly and have often glanced down in this park area. Now I'm here! Cache found nice and easily I'm not sure it is a difficulty 2. TFTC. TNLN. SL.

First find. A good one

Yay!! TFTC

My first find yay

G'day from WA. First Qld geo. TFTC. A nice walk along the river. Cheers Bloffy

Easy find and a good walk

Easy find, no muggle would find

A nice calming walk by the river and an easy find

We wandered over to the cache from another in this park. This would be our second cache today as we were only grabbing a couple before dinner while we were down this way. Anth spotted the cache and retracted it easily to sign the log with Sal. We then wandered around to the viewing platform on the river where a family of 6 or so were fishing and enjoying New Year's Day. Thanks for the cache grundies

I was out and about at 5am this morning to have a walk around and discover some local caches. This was number 3. Easy find. Everything in good condish. TNLNSL TFTC grundies

Snow for Christmas?? On the way to this cache a truck driving over the bridge lost a pallet of white foam sheets. Some sheets were drifting in the air, traffic jammed to a crawl as they ran over others and bits of white foam floated down like snow. A lovely park along the river, found the cache quickly. TFTC grundies, left a dog for the doggone cache.

I was sitting at home trying to work out a place to go caching with Captain Terror. You see it is getting hard finding places that neither of us have touched. We generally have to work out which coast we were going to and today was the Gold Coast's turn. We sat online picking which caches seemed the most interesting for us to get on our last day of caching together for 2013 and this cache made the list.

We parked the car and headed off towards GZ. We were followed by a canine loving muggle so kept an eye on him as we got closer to GZ. He ended up walking away in another direction. I used the opportunity to dive into GZ and make the super easy find. I brought it back out to the Captain and signed our names in the logbook before I headed back in to replace it. Thanks for the cache grundies

While planning a trip down this way with Net88 this cache commanded a little attention and so I sussed out where to park and added it to the list for the day. Getting towards the end of the trip, I parked us near the skate park area, but away from the hoardes of wheeled muggles and we headed for the cache. It was a refreshing change to walk to a cache that was significantly less of a terrain challenge than many others today. Along the path, under the bridge, beside the river.

As we got near the spot a muggle with dogs was hanging about, but choosing her timing well, Net ducked in for the cache and made a quick find. Inside was in good condition and as the logbook was signed I grabbed the TB inside. Replaced as found and off to the lookout/landing over the river to watch the tide slowly roll in and soak up some of the breeze before heading back to the car. I hope Moet is still running around the big, unfenced dog park in the sky! TFTC grundies

fun caching day out with Yoshi and Croswat TFTC

Another day out with yoshi and topher.

Was a very quick find. TFTC

A day out with Croswat & Topher. quick find TFTC

A lovely ride out to this one. A few people fishing under the freeway. A few people at the end of the path, but nobody in betweeen. A nice easy find here. A nice change of pace after a few Nottinghammers caches Left a TB here.

On day 5 on my Queensland caching trip I was able to grab 65 caches for the day. Had a great sleep and started early to beat the heat. Plenty of great caches today and thanks once again to all the CO's.

Caching for the second day in a row with my good caching mate Roostaman, who was still staying nearby, and also with Poynts95. We had no list, just went where we felt like caching, enjoying the day with some great company. Some great caches found and many fav points will be given out. Thanks to all CO's for hiding and mainaining their caches.
------------------------------------------------------

# 6235 Found on our 2013 winter escape trip to Qld.
Met up with Blacklegend and Poynts95 once again and had more fun finding caches.
Not many muggles around here today and another nice dog park.
Another day of the 31 day challenge completed as well.
TN LN SL. Thanks for the cache grundies,
Roostaman.

Glad you replaced this cache as its a nice walk along the track [when I finally found it] along the river,and a lovely platform at the end to.TFTC.grundies.

Little holts excited with travel bugs - taken to relocate

Took my dog over to visit Moet's cache. Found easily and so nice and new and clean. Took Tb and left two.
beautiful park but for the M1 noise. Thanks grundies.

Had planed on grabbing a few a bit further south today. So when I saw this one was back up and running I had to stop in for it.
Parked close by and wandered over. Still raining a little so there wasn't a muggle in sight. Mmm I'v seen this TB before, I think I left it with a Kangaroo a while ago. I'll leave it for the next cacher. SL and replaced container.
Thanks grundies for bringing it back.

New container now in place an a new hide, co-ords updated. Interesting to note that this original tree that's hide the cache in has been completely subsumed by a fig tree in the 3.5 years since the original hide.

Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 59.215 E 153° 20.575

Coordinates changed to:
S 27° 59.200 E 153° 20.559

Distance from original: 125.4 feet or 38.2 meters.
New co-ords

After finding the three Nottinghamers caches in this park and despite the rain, we, WTF21 and Dr THR, decided to walk around and grab this one while we were here. Loved the tree, but how are we suppose to get to the base of it? That proved to be a challenge, but we made it and stayed relatively dry. We searched GZ for a good 10-15 min but there's not cache in anywhere to be found. As the cache hasn't been found since January, this park has been flooded since, and our thorough search came up empty, it might a good idea for the CO to double check that it is in fact gone and replace if missing. This is a great park and well deserving of such a hide. Besides, with three Nottinghamers caches nearby the number of finds are sure to increase. TFTC Grundies. I hope we can find it soon.

Disabling till I can replace container

Couldn't find it thought that floods may have taken it

Nice walk from the parking to the GZ. No one around. Nice easy find. TFTC

I had a few spare hours today so I looked on the map for a nice pocket of caches that weren't smiling yet.

Nerang seemed to just suit that specification so I was on M1 and heading down as soon as I could.

I had attempted this some time back and unfortunately it had been muggled so I was pleased to see it back up and running.

I was on my way home but it was just begging me to come and find it so I just had to squeeze it in.

There were no muggles at the parking coords and after a pleasant walk to GZ I had encountered none as well.

I had the benefit of knowing the location so I headed straight there and within seconds had my prize in hand.

Thanks Grundies for bringing this back to life TFTC SL TNLN

Happy New Caching Year. Alot of beer bottles around here I'm guessing from last night, I would need a trailer hitched to my bike if I was to make a dent in this lot. Nice easy find in a lovely spot. TFTC Grundies.

Container replaced with new one a slightly different hide. Enjoy.

Disabling for the moment until I can check and replace container. Thanks to Couchmen for the note.

We are so close to 600 I just had to go out this afternoon when I had some time available.

All the rest of the Couchmen decided to watch a movie at home so they were happy and I was happy to be out with my favourite sport.

We have almost cleared out all the caches in this area so I was going for a complete wipe out.

I saw the previous DNF but I thought I would give it a go anyway.

It was a lovely day for the walk to GZ and I actually went beyond it, to start off with, to the lookout and chatted to a family of muggles who were fishing off the deck.

I then headed back to GZ and made sure the muggles were not able to see me or not paying me any attention.

GZ seemed very obvious so I gave it a very long search and came up with nothing, I then expanded the area in case the GPS was off to no avail.

Thanks Grundies This may need to be checked out if it's possible.

Searched quite a while than gave up.

With my KCC family taking them on a late night caching trip to show them the ropes. Dropped a few numbered guitar pics and took a trackable. Flying to Sydney tomorrow. Will find a good cache for those Sydneyites.

Nice walk along the river on a very hot day. Left Peace TB. TFTC

Nice location, thanks for cache!

After a pleasant walk, I reached GZ which was a nice secluded spot away from any watching eyes. Although not a birthday, it was still a small celebration for us as this was our 1500th find. Thanks grundies for the cache.

This cache has always given me multiple dings on the GPS as I passed by on the highway but for some reason I thought it was a multi.

today I stopped and read the description fully and realised that it wasn't.

A pleasant stroll along the river and I soon had the cache. Had to clear the ants off it before I could open it.

Signed the log and then strolled down the end of the path to find a fisherman settled in with 4 rods out and the music playing from the radio as background. A peaceful setting to relaxing. TFTC. No more dings now.

3rd find for the day.

Have walked my dogs many a time here.

TFTC

Nice walk in the dog park tftc

Found with muggle family. Nice easy find.

Was a little wet as we walked to GZ, no spiders to be found, lucky took treasure coin and left army man. TFTC

Nice walk from carpark to cache area. Especially interested in the constrution of the bridge - useful shade from the hot sun as well. Soon found the cache. Thanks for the good series. SL TFTC

Very wet and muddy this afternoon. But the dog enjoyed having a run around. The cache was at the bottom of the tree when i found it... not sure if it's supposed to be in the tree or not but i left it on the ground. Took small doll and left a pirate coin (Arrrr)

Had driven past this area many times
Beautiful spot to sit and watch the day go by
Took a while to locate this one
GPS did not want to locate this one today

Accompanied with ALL7, We enjoyed walk along to the cache - Kayleen found it before us. No swap. SL. Thanks grundies.

Accompanied with Everlasting..we found your coordinates spot on. hide well thank ...

love the walk this morning with the sun shinning TFTC

I was very pleased that the council had mowed this parked recently or else I would never have seen all the really wet muddy spots T N L 1 x TB TFTC

Found it No. 3080 ... nice walk good clue ... TNLN TFTC

Great quiet place. Took TB & mag glass, dropped off water gun - lots of water close to fill up! TFTC

We parked and set off for a trot for this one. Radnoski stopped and took some photos while I went and found the cache. Radnoski could not understand why I was so far away - we then realised that the cache had moved since he had done it. I found the cache after a small hunt in good condition. TFTC Grundies

#300

Found after a nice walk in the park

Had to fight with another 8 legged warrior to get to the cache.

TFTC SL TN Left Coin [^]

Forgot to drop the coin

Nice walk but a bit cool and damp

What a great park and the bird life is wonderful .There is a gum tree with prime nesting holes for all size birds ,Could of spent the day watching the birds.,loved the clue

Nice walk in the park, easy find....Thanks

This was cache # 5 of 26 on day six of my QLD trip. Once I worked out the parking it was a nice walk out to GZ for the find. My thanks to grundies for the cache.

Found (08:05) today...
1st find of the day before heading off on a caching run up to Binna Burra...
Had wandered over here with Gunnie69, Svn07 and Bedmaker as a starter course for the day....and get the GPS warmed up for the day...

Nice quick find

TNLNSL

Thanks to the Grundies for the cache

First find of the day whilst waiting for the rest of the SEQPS (aka the MCBC) to gather. Wandered over with Gunnie69, Kaisho53 and Bedmaker. Four GPSrs, two pointing that way, two pointing that way....mine wasn't one of the devices pointing in the right direction . Quick find by Kaisho.

Thanks for the cache, cheers, svn07

Found with Gunnie69, Svn07 and Kaisho53.
Glad it was palced where it was as it looked like some fisher muggles where just around the corner.
We got it though and I don't even think they knew we where there, TFTC.

I was over the river grabbing the other nearby caches and saw a couple of kids fishing on the jetty. They were still there when I headed inbound for this one but, were busy with what looked like a BBQ as there was lots of smoke... Perhaps they had caught their breakfast... [^]

In the company of Bedmaker, Svn07 and Kaisho53 the cache was a quick find, although I was 11m away at the time... A nice little spot and well concealed from muggle haunts...

Cheers grundies.

Plenty of people walking their dogs today. Nice place - 2nd spot we looked at too. TFTC
T badge & car; L BallnPaddle and Koala

For as long as that bridge has been there, I've driven across it thinking this would be a nice park to have a walk around in. Finally managed the walk today because of your geocache . It really is a nice place. Found the cache in the second place I looked (isn't it always the way?) TN/LN/SL and noted, ibis, magpies, kookaburras, crows and a lady with her golden retriever bounding about the place. TFTC.

Nice easy find. Took Puppy Pound TB and will try to move it north.

TFTC.

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 27° 59.253 E 153° 20.520
Distance From Old: 375 feet or 114.3 meters
Update to co-ords for new cache location. Dropped "Puppy Pound" GC

All fixed and ready to go.

Looks like this one may have gone missing. Have disabled until I can get out with a replacement.

tried again but still have not found it.It must be really hidden or somebody has taken it

couldnt find it a few dog walkers were looking a bit funny at me will try again another day

Great area by I just couldn't find it & the kids were sick of me looking. Will try again another day.

Took a little bit of hunting to find it as I hadn't looked at the notes or logs before going out (I just saw it was there in my friends GPS that I was borrowing). Finally found it, fairly exposed ... actually totally exposed.
TN/LN/SL
Returned with a little more cover.

A glorious day, and we all enjoyed the walk. The eager Millenials Geokids ran ahead but had to wait for Generation X for the clue. A quick find then! TFTCSL

wat a great walk the GPS was trying to lead me through the bush but found it sortly after i corrected the path took bubbles and highlighter box and left card and rubber TFTC SL

Nice quick find, great area for unleashing the hound.

Cheers!!

Found this one while out with Mr Gap. It was quite wet underfoot so took as much of the high road as possible. A nice area to visit. Thanks for bringing us here

Found this one with Ms Wig, a bit of a wet walk did not dampen our spirits when we found the cache .... alas no Moet

It was a bit exposed, so hid a little better.

Thanks grundies for the cache

Nice spot along the river. We had come to this park a couple of years ago with the kids but they were too scared to ride their bikes under the highway! TFTC

A nice (but wet) walk and find, cheers

Soggy old day. I found the cache and then found a dry spot under the bridge to open it up.

TFTC. I left a green frog and grabbed a pink clippy thing for the geo-wife.

Nice spot thanks Grundies

Nice easy one in a great area. SL TNLN TFTC

Had to walk past quite a few Fisher Muggles all huddled under the Bridge out of the Rain, They were so involved in what they were doing they hardly noticed me.
When I got to GZ I was out of their sight so was able to grab the Cache and sign the log without drawing any attension.

Nice easy find, good park for the dog. TNLN TFTC
