First this was in a great location but was muggled a couple of times. Now in its current location it keeps getting wet. So we've decided to archive this one.

Found but in very bad condition. Very wet.

Waterlogged; couldn't write on log.

Super waterlogged, but easy find! TFTC

Found it easily but very wet inside container

Nice find to wet to sign. Amy 20/7/16

A little damp inside the plastic bag. Sorry I didn't have a snap lock bag to replace your wet one.

Nice park easy find.

TFTC!!

Tftc!

Quick find, signed the log while listening to one of the neighbours practise trumpet! Log is waterlogged! Tipped a heap of water out. Might want co to check it and fix it up a little! Tftc

Found geopile and then the cache tftc

went in under the cover of darkness for a quick find after an all day event nearby. was a little water in container- don't think green plastic bag is helping as it was wet inside too. didn't have anything with me to clean it up so just drained it. Log is an all weather one so was able to be signed. TFTC Aussie Liahona xxx

Nice and easy TFTF

Fun to find

Found it! My first tracking adventure! Logged on it.

Thanks for the cache. It was wet inside so I dried out what I could. Log is ok.
Cheers

Easy. Thank you. Still very good place and view.

My first day on the Gold Coast and was in the area so stopped to make a quick find. The park was deserted and quickly spotted the cache. Lots of moisture and water was found inside cache. Aired and drained contents and let it get some sun before replacing everything and replacing as found. TFTC!

Not as easy... Took time.
TFTC!

Thanks for an easy one

Nice quick find on a quick trip to the Goldy. Cache is damp inside.

Quick find with Mal the chippy.

Very cool way to explore around areas you did not know existed

Nice easy find. Good hiding spot. Cute treasures in the box. Thanks

Lunchtime find. Log a bit damp & hard to write on

Found it! A bit wet though

On the way back from a day at Wet 'n Wild we stopped past here before doing some shopping. Cache container was filled with water (emptied it out) but log still writeable. Did with Mycro Man. Thanks for the cache.

Did with CrystalFairy

Had to hire a car to do any more caching this holiday. I better find many to make the money worth while.
A nice sized cache. but there was a bit of water inside so I couldn't leave a trackable.
Thanks for the cache.

Up from Canberra and found with Rapidlywild on a two week geomission around the Gold Coast and, of course, for the MEGA

The Mega had come to a close and the fun had finished so we were back on the Gold Coast. Our energy was low so we decided we'd have a cruisy day of caching around the area.

Another nice, easy find on our geomission around the area

Thanks for yet another, Aussie Liahona

Back on the Gold Coast today to continue caching. The holiday is starting to wind down in preperation for the long drive back to Canberra. 2nd last day on the Gold Coast so it was out and back caching. Today was a good day with about 40 finds today.

Today we found alot of caches from Nottinghamers who I must admit have some very creative hides We had a wonderful day out and about collecting caches and placing our stamp in the log books.

Thanks Aussie Liahona for placing this cache for us to make a find on

First find, completely waterlogged but still a find

Cache full of water so we drained it out but the rain is still coming in. Out on a cache day with gullivers and cantcacheus, log was signed and placed back to its hide tftc

cache find #2909. With a break in the storm, we quickly located this cache. We needed the cache find for our d/t 25 challenge today. TFTC.

Out with friends today to complete the D/T 25 challenge, we chose this cache as one for the chart. Found jointly with Gullivers Travells54 & Forbiddenground. Tftc

Found at 1.02pm
Nice easy find like description says. Water in container unsure how as lid was on correctly when I found it. Emptied water. Signed log. Replaced as found.

TFTC CO. container and contents all ok other wise

A bit of rummaging around but found fairly quickly with the geokids. Tftc

A bit of a rocky hunt found with my mum and sister. Tftc

Found with my mum lisylou and sister. Quick find on a hot day. Tftc

Hosea's Hideaway had collected last night's rain like a rain gauge . . . about 14-15ml! Dried out the container and contents and put the log in a new bag but it appears the container may be past it. A quick and easy find while ambling around Ashmore. TFTC Aussie Liahona.

Got excited because a trackable was meant to be there, but alas, as is often the case it wasn't. TFTC

Thanks for the cache.

Out with the family for a conference at a nearby church. As we arrived early, this was the perfect cache to collect after a short stroll to stretch our legs. Youngest Geo-esky was excited as always to go hunting for another cache.
TFTC!

Was down from Toowoomba today attending a conference at a nearby church. Arrived a little early so decided to go for a little walk to stretch the legs. The cache is quite wet inside and everything is pretty yucky but was not prepared for maintenance. TFTC.

Found but it was full of water, emptied out but may need some maintance TFTC

Nice hide cheers

TFTC found at 11:11 on the 8th of the 8th!

That rocked, tftc

Yes the cache was full of water cannot see why, anyway dried it out as best we could and hid it a tiny bit better. SL TFTC

The weather was starting to turn nasty on me. The sky was black and it was just starting to rain. A nice quick find here, but it needs some TLC.

The cache was full of water and the trinkets were rather wet. The log book had fared quite well in its baggie and was only a little damp.

Found on a nice easy walk in the park, TFTC

Picked some gum nuts from tree
When leaving. Quite a small container. A challenge.

Pretty easy. Great for starters.

It's a little bit wet so we never signed it. Probably need a refurb if anyone's coming looking.

Quick and easy find.

TFTC. Nice quick find with Gumby Maca.

Found it!!!!!

Found it! First one

First one, good fun..

found this one pretty easy, but was full of water

Water in tub. Did some wringing out and dried as best as I could. Great cache for little ones. Tried to log tag but not recognized.
TFTC

Quick easy one. Log is as others have suggested still wet. Managed to sign. Just. TFTC. SL.

Hearing that the cache had a bit of water in it recently I stopped by to check it out. It was good and dry but the water had done some damage to the swag so I put in some new stuff after cleaning the cache with some wet wipes and drying it out again. Also put in a new log.

Thanks to those that have visited. Happy caching............

Took geobrats out as they were going stir crazy. Easy find, good kid distraction. Found a coin.

Have arrived in Sufers to help my sister move house. But there is still time for a cache or 2.
Picked up the TBs and left a coin behind.
Thanks Aussie Liahona

Dropped of Quackers the duck trackable

Dropped of Flash Mob V111 Travel Tag

Found on our trip to the Gold Coast for a wedding. A short walk down from the wall to GZ where the cache was found quickly in the obvious spot. Cool wall. As said in previous logs, the cache was quite moldy inside and the logbook is wet. TNLNSL. TFTC AL!

Was full of water so cleaned that out. Easy find, tn. Filled log.

Nice easy find. Could see the cache as we approached GZ but his it a bit better when we put it back. Took TB. TFTC

Nice little walk to this one

Found on a trip to the coast

This was the start of a massive walk around this part of the Gold Coast; I'd already walked from Australia Fair to reach this cache...and this was only the start! Lovely weather for a walk and finding a cache was a bonus. Thanks Aussie Liahona.

Found it. Still in pretty good condition

TFTC

A bit disheartened after our last cache search, dnf, presumed muggled overnight. Found this one just as described, nice and easy! The first of many more for one very happy new geoteen! Tftc.

Its just over there says bristracker... I didn't have this in my GPS so took her word for it. We both scratched around in the location and were about to call a the CO to see if it had been reported as a problem. Then I got my phone out and it was pointing me about 6m in a different direction. I wandered over and immediately said found it!!!. Contents were quite wet though so it could do with a little TLC.
Note to self.... "Don't believe everything bristracker tells you.."

Nice and easy for the last one today. Now just had to walk back 6k's with blisters - ouch.

Cache 29 of 29 Today Walking: 34.50km / 380 minutes moving.
I am logging this find as part of Rambler's Reward Challenge Cache (GC2XBA7).
