After walking around the park grabbing a few, I stopped by here and after a bit of looking, spotted something that could be the cache.....and it was. Nicely put together. Log was signed, cache replaced and all was good.

Thanks for another one corikra.....

Day 6 Townsville
Today we headed west towards Rupertswood. Finding caches on the way there & back.
I have seen some really good hides at the fire stations. This is a good one too.
Thanks for placing this cache corikra

As we drove up to this one hubby thought that he had the cache spotted and his thought was good. We always help out our fire fighters when we can. Our home in Nth Qld is in a place that is surrounded by ranges and forests, without our fire fighters that help keep us safe, all could be easily lost. SL TFTC

I found this one while out caching with my sister naomisart and nephew geoboy. This was my second time searching here and was my 30th find. TFTC.
 
26-Sep-15
Second time lucky. Spent ages looking on a previous visit but walked straight up to it today after thinking outside the square. Sadly the log has been squashed in the container and was looking shabby. TFTC!
 
14-Jul-15
Looked and wondered "why is this so?" It was the cache hiding place, of course. TFTC.

Tried to have a quick look but the neighbour was out the front, no luck will have a harder look next time....

Driving up Herveys Range for my Sunday caching trip, as usual skipping the ones closes to town, this was my first find for the day.
Took a while before I spotted the obvious
Thanks for hiding here

Found while out caching with BDeano

Took us a second check to make sure the container was actually the cache. Clever hide for one out in the open.

Batman93 and I took the geoferal 5 on a road trip around Herveys Range Road while on a show day public holiday we decided to stop in and get this one. It proved a little tricky at first and gps was jumping around. . But then .... holy fire batman93 found it doing a double take on a double up!!
Very sneaky but clever hide TFTF

Definately had to double check Wink TFTF

Very innovative - fun find.
 
03-Jul-14
Staying at a caravan park in Townsvillle, to do some caching in the area.

This morning, we took a drive to pick up a few caches on the outskirts of town.
Cache was well constructed, and a pleasure to find.
Something a little different, worth a favourite point from us.
Many thanks for placing this cache, corikra, for us and others to find.

I love the innovation into some of these caches. This one rates high with me. SL TFTC

Nice hide!!
 
18-Nov-13
Another afternoon and another chance to collect a cache. Today we decided to take a drive out of town a little way to give ourselves a break from the city.

We managed to park the geoMobile almost on top of GZ using the building to block the view of the nearby muggle neighbour. geoP spotted the hide straight away meaning we were in loc for the minimum time needed.

We then headed of for a tour of the area so thanks for brining us back out here Corikra.

Another clever hide from corikra. I'd already checked the container and decided it wasn't it when RobS72 had another look. TFTC. Smile
 
18-Jun-13
Corikra's caches are always of a high standard and this one was no exception. After a brief search, something caught my eye that didn't look right. MattCNS said he'd already checked it, but a light tug of the lid revealed the prize TFTC Corikra TNLN SL {#238}.

After almost a 6 month lay off from caching I decided to make use of the nice weather and get out of town for the morning and get my caching mojo back.
This was my first find for the day and a very clever hide.

Cheers corikra and happy caching.

We pulled up a little too far down the road (Damn you Apple Maps!!!!!)
We jumped out and had a look for our GPS,
Using the clue we found it in just a jiffy!

This was our 11th cache in our caching run today - and we found it at around 12:40.
(So this is our 4808th total find.)

Having been a paid member of the VICSES, Ian fully understands the dedication of those who give up their time to serve their community.

The cache was quickly found - the GPS led us straight to it. Smile

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks corikra for the hunt today.

#190 After failing at 'up in smoke' we went home for the night for dinner, wondering where we were going to find our cache for tonight. The Boss Lady said we had to go to my sisters place..... Sweet.

A quick trip round the corner to the CFA sheds, and with a few seconds of watching the monkeys scramble about, I walked over and had the prize with my first guess.

This one has been on my horizon for a long time and today after a leisurely lunch at Harvey Range with the Ulysses Club the Reluctant Companion nailed the find. Great hide but very easy when you know where it is!!!!!! TNLN TFTC.
 
TFTC. Traded out some stuff (a band aid and a rock for a Kena, key ring and a badge) but beware of the snakes if you go out there. There was one right next to the cache Sad
 
12-Oct-11
Had dropped by once before but couldn't look as I recall but this time it was found after a search. Funny it was the first thing I looked at but it took a peek at the hint before I twigged. The log is hard to remove and there seems to be two separate logs happening in there.
Signed and replaced.
Thanks!
 
25-Sep-11
Wow great hide!! Quickly spotted and we were concerned about not having our usual caching tools on us but no problems. Seems we are having problems with logs today as this one also took a bit of time to extract. Thanks corikra
 
24-Sep-11
Found this one today on our second attempt. Our very 1st cache! I think this could become addictive! My 3 year old son was very dissapointed with the lack of pirate style treasure chest and gold Smile All seems to be in good order. Swapped one coin for another. TFTC
 
27-Jul-11
I don't get out this way often but I found myself nearby today so came for a quick look. Only took a couple of minutes to track the cache down but I did use the clue. Thanks for a clever hide corikra. All is well at GZ. No swaps today.
 
11-Feb-11
Found after work on Friday night, The coordinates are spot on and the log is still dry after all the rain that we have had. Didn't quite get the clue until we had found the hide, great idea. Thanks.. Cool

Thanks for the cache.

Okay, some days we are more stupid than others. Today was not that day. When here last we found the old cache location and mistakenly thought it had gone walkabout again. After advice from the owner that it was still there, and that our suspected location was spot-on, back again to claim another find. Another for me and the BurgerGirl ..... double or nothing will bring me out on top! Hoorah!

Yeah, what the Geodad said ..... Thanks Corikra.

when we got there to look we were there for quit some time and did not find it but there is a spot where i think it was.
luv Burgergirl xoxo
 
29-Sep-10
No go on this one today. Took the BurgerGirl with me to check her prowess (and the new GPSr) but to no avail. We think we got the right location for the hide, but no indication of a cache anywhere about. Will have to check directly with the owner on possible scenarios ....

We recon we found the spot, but the cache was missing.
 
08-Jul-10
Couldn't find this one..... but after coming home and reading a few logs.... I think we might have been looking right at it and didn't figure out the clue.... never mind ..we will have to take another trip to this one another time... Made the old 'grey matter' work anyway.
 
23-Jun-10
I looked for bit and then read the clue.
It is a very good clue.
The cache is in its correct location and in good condition.
GZ is accurate.
Thanks Corika for this cache.

Repaired the cache yesterday after training. Looks like we had some kids vandalizing the place over the weekend [:(!], our secretary told me he found the cache lying in the grass, contents tipped out. There are not many swaps left, so will take some with me next week, to fill it up a bit.
 
19-Jun-10
The cache was laying on the ground and BelKen walked straight past it. Couldn't stick it back to where you could see it should go so we left it on the ground. Thanks for the cache.
 
19-Jun-10
Walked straight pass this one initially. Looks like some one has pulled it off instead of just opening it. You could see where it belonged.

Thanks for the cache

Just logging a GC through. It's too big to fit in, but since it's a Bushfire Appeal Coin I felt it should at least theoretically have been in here.

As this one isn't too far from home Cat and Bear decided to venture out to Rupertswood to grab this cache. Got to the GZ and after a little hunt Bear came up with the good. Great cache glad that you got permission to place it there : ) !!! This one would be interesting to find on a Tuesday night. TN L 1 x TB thanks for the hunt and effort you have put into this cache.

*FTF* Finally beat Summer's Koby to a cache! He has been the benchmark for speed over the last few months! Nice cache which I'm familiar with as I have been thinking about this idea for one of my own caches. I think it will fool some less experienced cachers!
