Twist 'n' Turn Seven Hills, Queensland, Australia
By geckomaster62 on 23-Jul-10. Waypoint GC2C711

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Awesome cache, very clever! Didn`t spend as long as we anticipated on this one, but still took about 30 mins. After exhausting all possibilities,we went though everything again, and there it was, something a little out of place....just give it a twist and turn! Clever hide
The bag is very tattered, but still works. If your planning on tackling this one, maybe take a small zip up bag to replace the old one

Long overdue repairs back soon !

Is it still there?

This one took way longer than it needed to. In the end I phoned Geoson to get an extra hint. It became so obvious then and could not understand why we had not figured this one on our own. TFTC

One of the most original and inventive hides we have come across so far in Brisbane. Brilliant effort.

We found this a lot faster than we expected but I guess it just comes down to experience and we've seen similar caches before. That and the GPS was spot on and we were the only ones in the park. Thanks for the smiley

Brilliant. Found on my second visit. I'm having a high find rate on your caches now. Really enjoying your creativity and challenges. Thanks

Oh, you're such a con artist!
That was my immediate thought when I realised where the hide is.

This was my second uninterrupted visit to the location. After the last visit yilded nothing, I resorted to reading old logs, and they confirmed my suspicions. I had actually already considered the hide my dismissed it and concentrated my efforts in other spots at the GZ.
Armed with stronger belief on where to find this little treasure, I started to assess the objects in sight and after a little while the bell rang: this does not belong here, let's see if I can twist or turn it...

Sweet, a plastic bag was within reach, and following a little negotiation, the container was out in the open. [^]
The bag is torn out and will probably disintegrate within a few months. Also, there's an extra logsheet, which will still host about 10+ names. Otherwise all in order here. Twisted and turned the hide back as found, and a wide grin on my face it was time to continue the trip.

The idea deserves a fav point, for sure.
TFTC, GM62!

Came from the city by train to my dentist. I now live nowhere near here but used to live 3 streets away. Dentist went well so my reward was time to find a cache. I got swooped by a butcher bird but no muggles at 4pm. Found easily but love the hide. Cache and log all in good order. Tftc

Another opportunity to stop by, and this time the GZ was void of muggles.
The trip was also void of revelations as to the whereabouts of the cache. 10 mins was not enough for my brains to get this today.

Thanks for the gardening session, GM62!

It's a sunny day! Can't the muggles be indoors playing with their computers instead of getting sunburnt??? [?]
I got within 2 m of the hide, spotted the likely options where to start from the search, but there was no going forward as the picnic table was occupied by a dad and tow sons, just loitering around there without anything specific to do. If they just had been doing that someplace else...

Well, now I find my way to the GZ without the app next time around.

Found by kestal!!! Clever

Found it with angloj after a short search. After finding a few of GM62s caches today I was ready for almost anything. This hide is definitely a case of not everything is as it appears. Great hide. TFTC.

This one was very sneaky I actually found the hiding spot very quickly, but just didn't twist and turn enough, so spent another 20 minutes wandering around poking things, reading logs, thinking about PAF's. Happily I eventually headed back there and made the discovery. Definitely a face palm moment TFTC again, geckomaster62.

Tricky tricky

Found with smlfryNOcoke at 3am. Very clever.We replaced log.

Very clever. Turn, turn, turn! Needs new paper log, old one is full.

Needs a new log, old one full!

!!!!!!!!

Fifth time at this one. Great spot. Local assistance helped

I just about gave up on this one. I had looked in all the obvious places without luck. I had to sit and think about this one for awhile and then started looking again. Wait a minute....what's this?? it really does twist and turn. Gecko you really are the master! Thank you.

Spent a lot of time on this one fine combing every structure in sight. My GPs and dumb phone both agreed on the spot but a thorough search of the area didn't come up with anything out of place except something hanging off a locked electricity box which I decided would not be wise to touch..............
Totally stumped by this one.......................

This was our first Geocache search and we were determined to find it. Took us five visits but we found it in the end - very clever hide.

Had a good look around but nothing in our hands today. TFTH

Sneaky Sneaky Sneaky, great hide and found with OrionJ.

It would seem that I have something of a name to live up to when it comes to finding GM62 cache.

Majestic Tree was a quick one for me, likewise with Stars of Cannon Hill, both in one visit.

Today I could not let things down with this little hide, and it did not take all that long to secure me something that I become really interested in looking at here today.

Making some little confirmations on just what I was looking at and ensuring it was what I thought it was took but seconds, and I did just a little of what the name says and come up with the goods.

TFTC

Found after a while of detailed systematic searching. Great little find. Another for geo dad. Yeah add this to fav

Nearly eaten alive by ants by looking in what turns out to be the wrong place for too long. I was SURE that was the "unusual" feature!!!! PAFed and got redirected....happily signing the log soon after.

Very nice hide Mr GM....kudos to you! Cheers, svn07

Quick cache while MstrCam was at the Drs. Poked around for a bit, touching things I'm sure I shouldn't have. Read the description again, and it all became clear! Found it - very clever indeed!! A muggle showed up to enjoy the park, which made return to hiding spot challenging, but got there in the end. Did not have a pen to sign the log, but I was there TFTC!!

Super tricky hide. Easily one of the more difficult caches we have found. Full credit to AlliD for finding this one. TFTC!

was with Saints Madhouse for this.....very good hide...... We did this at night time so was fun and games trying not to shine our torches and alert any local muggles into what we were up to in a park at that hour of the night

While on a Girls weekend of Art Classes at a nearby venue we took this chance at night to grab a few caches in the area. We arrived at GZ in the dark and searched by torchlight, with no idea where to start. The GPS danced to its own tune and we walked in circles trying to decide where to start. I decided to go with a hunch after seeing some of "Nottinghamers" caches in the last month and this paid off. I noticed something that belonged but also didn't belong, I looked closer and tried to figure out how on earth to access the log, Ahhhh the name! pf course. Quickly grabbed it while LawsonClan03 looked on shaking her head. We logged our names and left without any of the neighbours noticing us.

Attempted this during a five minute break from the rain this afternoon. Turns out its bloody impossible to cache in the rain in a play area without looking like a complete weirdo. Decided to come back another [dry] day with the kids to avoid those suspicious muggles.

Hats off to my love Brian1789, who figured out why that location was the right one - in the dark, no less - after I had already looked at it and deduced why it was the right spot but not how to retrieve it. Turn, turn, turn indeed Tool Hand Luke and I were impressed, and Fairytrip at home will be happy to hear that we won't be obsessing over it any more - this was our second visit.

We found this last week on the 24/01. It was the cleverest, most difficult but also most exciting cache we have ever found. Such a very clever hide and thanks to one of the comments by NurseyJulie about something on the structure that shouldn't be there...after about 1/2 an hour it hit us like lightning. That's it! So very exciting. Thank you for the fun. We are still talking about the 'Twist n Turn' cache!

Gps was all over the place
I was drawn to the GZ but took a while to spot the clever cache.
No muggles in sight at 10 pm

Got to GZ - had a look around. There was an extra item on this structure but didnt serve any purpose. So poked and twisted and turned it around and cache in hand! TFTC

Already had one gecko DNF this morning, and was hoping this wouldn't be number 2. After being muggled out by a personal trainer with his gear on the sit up seat at The Spokesman, I arrived here feeling down on my luck.

A quick look in a likely spot at GZ, and I noticed something not quite right. It's not what was there, but rather what wasn't that had me thinking. It had to be the cache. But how to get at the container? Of course!

I had quite some trouble getting the container in and out of its hiding spot, but I took my time and got there in the end.

TFTC GM62. Aother classic urban hide.

I had a few minutes to spare while passing and attempted this one without any success at all

This jaunt started with parking Sooty the cachemobile outside a nearby cafe and taking it easy for a while.

Then I wandered down past the church and scoped the area around GZ.

Feel at a disadvantage this week as having to rely on the dumbphone and my caching goggles, as the Garmin is in the shop.

Let the games begin!

The device suggested I look at a couple of structures on the other side to where the cache actually was. I did wander over to the cache and actually played with it for a bit [;). Then wandered back to where I was sure it had to be

The name of this cache was in my mind at all times but pretty sure I interpreted it differently to Mr Gecko.

The battery on the mobi was dying and had started to beep! I quickly sent an SMS to the CO and got a hint on location... Yes, been there, should have looked harder!

I had a serious blonde moment about then. Either that or the universe fractured and sucked in a few million of my brain cells

What happened next is that in the course of retrieving the cache which was housed in a plastic bag that had already suffered a rip, I managed to tear off about half the baggie Oh dear!!!

Alas, I didn't have the 'kit' with me in the boot.

So... I drove home, put the mobi on the charger, responded to a call from my mum, picked up a ziplock bag and marked the cache name on it, and drove back to Morningside. I parked in a different street lest anyone had noticed me earlier. Then I had to outwait a muggle on the nearby park bench and wait for a break in the gaggle of school children to put the cache back in its hide. Whew!

It's all good geckomaster62, clever hide and tricky retrieval with mere fingers... TFTC

I was right on from the start, but because of my impatience, skimmed right over the cache. After a few minutes of failed poking around, I saw the cache right in front of me. That is one clever hide geckomaster. Cache in great condition. Thanks

Had tried before to find this one while attempting to show some friends about geocaching, no luck that time due to the high muggle activity. After a hint from the CO (big thanks), I found it after a few minutes of playing dodge the muggle. Bag was torn but log was dry and in good order, had to replace it quickly to avoid being observed. Very clever hide. TFTC

To write want I want to write would give it away. I will simply say 'love it' and award a favourite point.

Cache dry and in good condition.

Thanks geckomaster62... always a pleasure to do one of yours

Decided today to do a "oh, we missed that one or oh, we have the information for that cache' run and this was one of them. The hint is really required and a very interesting hide, well done. Having done a few of geckomaster62 you start to look for different and it isn't quite right things.

TFTC and a favourite from us.

33rd find of 33 found today whilst out on a most enjoyable day with the amazing Fasted69 and the delectable Barbbowman

Last one for the day, and another chance for Team B to laugh at me. I think I did much better this time. Once GPSr settled onto the right GZ I found the cache with relative ease, although pulling the logbook out took a bit more effort than was expected I think. The plastic baggie has a hole in it by the way, probably OK but. Log signed and returned with Ed giving 'muggle' alerts in rapid fire succession. All good.

Thanks for placing this cache, geckomaster62. Found in good condition.
{Overall find #1326}

This cache has been the subject of way too many visitis on the geocycel and today was no different, spent 20 mins trying move a muggle on and eventually had to go elsewhere to look for some stars and yet another DNF on the darkside before spinning back to this one.

Good to hear all about how someone else found this one. The true story, as it happened.. We had just bought lunch from a way that is sub and were sitting at the table munching away. Whint finished her feed and commenced the hunt. Net soon followed and me with my massive 11-inch-but-sold-as-a-12-inch took more time. By the time I joined the hunt, the others were still fossicking about like hopeless lost dogs. Net had noted a something but discounted it, so I investigated deeper and sure enough, it harboured the cache. I did the twisting and turning and Net made the grab. When we got back in the car a popular Chubby Checker song was next on my CD.. how fitting. TFTC, very nice thanks Geckomaster62

found with captain terror, nett88 and whintandbaddal

TFTC:)

In the general area for a day of caching with Net88, Captain Terror & Gambler2000... we grabbed some lunch at a nearby Subway and made our way to this little park to eat our meals and find a cache at the same time Whilst the rest of us were feasting we sent Gambler2000 off with the GPS to search for the cache.... not sure how she manages to find any caches but she was walking around in circles in the middle of the grassed area

After eating we made our way to the correct area and started our searching... Captain Terror found it quickly but not before I had already ruled it out... doh! lol

Captain Terror found it quickly??!?!?! I was the one who spotted the camo and said oh i bet it is here. Then Captain Terror used my find to find the cache... So it is thanks to me!! As you know by now i was out with whint and bad dal and gambler and captain not hungry anymore but still cranky because he had to tell someone how to make his lunch and know just guess telepathically! Thanks for the cache master gecko

Found with Bedmaker.
This was a very cool cache and well put together. Very nice work gecomaster62!
TFTC

Found with Tassiegirl13.
This was a very cool cache.
We walked up and checked all the obvious places but no luck.
Then we stood back and thought about the name.....mmmm?
I checked something I looked at first and sure enough that was it.
This one gets a favorite from me.
TFTC.

Weeerrr'e back! Now, do we need a tool? No, we must be barking up the wrong tree... Hang on says geowife - what about that over there??! Hmmm - didn't notice that - that isn't right either! We were onto the wrong "wrong" item! So a quick twist and turn - yey, we have it! Great cache - clever hide and we enjoyed the challenge. TFTC.

Arrived at the park - that was the easy part - hmmm, now where could it be... Ahhh - there is something odd. We are sure that isn't right, so must be part of the cache - now, how to get it out... A twist here, and turn there, and nothing moves! Ran out of time - will have to contemplate that one for a little while!!

Arrived at GZ and quickly spotted the out of place item. Now, how to extract log. This way, that way. Oh, the other way. Certainly made that harder than it needed to be.

TFTH

if only getting the log out was as easy as finding the cache container

great hide

It was cold, I got up late and that was the good part of the day. Curse you geckomaster - this is truely the DARKSIDE. [:(!]

These were the only twists and pedal turns a got from my visit http://connect.garmin.com/course/1260497

OH no this is back. B#####

Aww, Don't be like that Mr Ruzzelz.

At first I thought I had it early on i was pulling and pulling turns out I was wrecking council property opps :]. I reread the description and found it. An awesome cache.

Third time lucky... This one had been frustrating us since we first tried it. Nice hide. TFTC

It was all quiet at GZ when I arrived and I quickly set about searching. One thing immediately looked gm62-spicious to me but there didn't seem to be any way to twist or turn the piece I was looking at.

I widened my search with no joy and then returned to my original searching spot and had a lightbulb moment when I spotted something that didn't quite link up to where it should have been joined. A quick twist and turn confirmed it and I quickly had the cache in hand.

Log signed and carefully replaced. All is good.

TFTC - another great design.

After a long time searching, geopartner hopped back in the geomobile and I said I would have one more search. Following the coordinates, I found it. Brilliant hide. TNLN TFTC Thanks geckomaster62

Im Back Come find me!!!!

Repaired and good to go.

Sorry Folks this one will be back on line by Friday 16/3.

Once again I was challenged by the geckomaster. I appear to have been lead up a garden path with this one. In 45 minutes I managed to dismantle a park bench, tend to and talk extensively with every plant on either side of the path, cleanout and replace every sprinkler system in sight, run a multimeter over the wiring system, examined every stick and turned over every leaf within reach of the path.

With a terrain rating of 1 I take it this should be wheelchair accessible or do i have to start climbing the trees as well as having climbed all over the garden shed?

You are an evil man geckomaster

Checked the cache today, all still in place . Some parts neeed repairing . Will return soon with the required materials.

I had planned to do a little bit of darkside caching this morning. Unfortunately I forgot to turn on the lights. After more than 30 min in one spot it was time to return to the safe side of the river I'll be back (maybe next year

No one around so a good time for a search for a GM62 cache

OK, I've got GZ, now what [?] looking, looking, counting, checking, oh that looks weird but [?] ahhhhhh clever

So the event on Sunday helped me glean information from those in the know and this is one that I was able to find out the twist and turn.

My 4th visit to this site, and with a little twist and a little turn.... voila!!

TFTC Geckomaster62

This cache has been mocking me for far too long so after more than 12 months since we logged it as a DNF it was back to GZ for another look. Having had success recently with a couple of other GM62 caches I developed a theory about this hide but alas, my theory was flawed. It did however open us to other options not previously considered and by jingo, by crikey, we found us a cache - WOOHOO!!!!

Thanks for the cache, another clever hide

flower1 did all the hard work on this one. Thanks for the cache.

Found 0740 Found quickly but then how to get into it with some fiddling I managed it. Cache OK. TFTC.

at 15:39. What a clever cache! We actually had a quick look a couple of days ago but a muggle on the seat was taking an interest inhibiting us from the sort of detailed search we thought would be required. Then on the way home today we thought we'd have another look.

TFTC Geckomaster62. The cache is fine, if a little diabolical.

Spotted by geowife.
Yet another very clever cache - thanks geckomaster62.

No joy today. Have no idea but will try again soon.

Introducing my bro and his son to geocaching. TFTC

My first night-time cache after finding myself in the neighbourhood late tonight (which I would suggest is the perfect time to attempt this one). Coords were good and I spotted a suspicious object very quickly. I attempted a whole series of manoeuvres in trying to work out what to do next and eventually got it right. A beauty! Thanks geckomaster!

Found at 1550Hrs. Lots of muggle activity here, but found fairly quickly after school girls smoking cigarettes after school left the area.
Very nicely camouflaged cache.
Thanks geckomaster62

found with anddad, we figured this one out after a short poke around, but had to leave and return a bit later due to the number of school kids hanging around

Found with TuisReturn, logging finds now back in NZ tftc

Finally a smiley face for twist n turn, after at least 8 visits here we made contact with geckomaster62 before anymore grey hairs appeared!! I told the geokids were to look for this and bingo one came up with the clever twist n turn required. Fantastic thanks so much Adam, I think we will have to set a similar one up back home. Now for the next geckomaster cache that we have been to a similar number of times ....Open for inspection, we have found the decoy cache here!!

No tools are required to find this cache, only persistance.

Were still donning our geocahing 'L plates' but we love a challenge and since we walk past this one every weekend & drive past daily we thought we'd give it a crack. Twisted & turned everything no luck, I have my suspicions but suspect I may need some 'tools' we will find it one day but for now well stick to the beginners caches!!

Looked around. Couldn't find anything that twisted or turned. Grr frustrating!

I had been beaten by this one before - I was looking in other areas. Today I located GZ easy enough - but it took some prompting how to access it (Duh, Fangsoki!). It was in good condition. Happy to get this one. Very simple but very clever. TFTC geckomaster62

I think Geckomaster caches should come with a health warning. Danger this cache may cause any or all of the following: grief, frustration, anger, guilt (at the time wasted hunting instead of doing other things), sadness, inferiority complex issues, joy, happiness, satisfaction, elation."

I think this was attempt 3 for this one. After a short hunt I thought I had found it, but the object would not twist or turn (take bike gloves off stoopid, oh very clever. I would recommend tweezers or something to extract the cache once it is located.

Yet another great hide

Too good for us this morning. Looked in all likly spots, almost resorted to a shifter and a hammer but was held back by goldielover. Will keep an eye on this one

Searched and searched for this one with Stairman1 and geodog. Thought I had it but then discovered I didn't We turned over every stone and looked in every hole without luck. Geodog got really bored with this one. Will try next time we are out this way.

All up to speed , Thanks to jason&janine for notifying us .

This one took a little while to sus out. As the geotoddler played on the nearby swings, i twisted 'n' turned everything i could get me mits on.....with no luck. After standing back and having a re-think, i spotted it. Great hide GM62, thanks

Must be getting a feel for GM caches as this was an easy find, and lucky for me no muggles around! Thanx for another great cache! SL

What an excellent hide. Found this one with Muddtrax after carefully reading the logs. It had us baffled for a little while but having already found one of geckomaster62 caches already we knew that it would be looking right at us. And there it was.... a twist here and a turn there and it was ours TFTC TNLN SL

Our 2nd geckomaster62 cache for the night Devils for punishment I think so. Twist and turn . . . Hmmm now what exactly does this mean [?] Ohhh . . . I see . . . Very, VERY, Clever . . . Well Done Krossbo for thinking like geckomaster62 . TFTC!! Awesome . . . Very, very sneaky!! [^]

Another one of yours defeated us again.

Searched a round for about 15 minutes and finally decided that it had something to do with that thing there. But what?? Then the clouds parted (figuratively not actually, it’s still raining) and there it was. Excellent hide. Take a favourite point for the effort.
TFTC

Well this one wasn't even in my GPSr which I'd preloaded weeks earlier knowing I was going ot be spending considerable time up here from Sydney. Came up as the nearest on my phone so I thought it sounded interesting enough to give a go. I was supposed to be headed to the airport but thought I'd go for one more. Sat down at the bench and read all the logs and then looked around. My heart sank, no idea! Then my phone rang and as I talked I walked around looking. Still no idea. Finally without really having much of a look I thought I'd better head for the plane. Then something caught my eye... what if? Hmmmm. Yes I think it is. But how?? Oh, not that way... Ahhh! Got you! Very nice hide indeed! Worthy of a favourite point!
I think sometimes we tend to give out favourite points not because we like the hide so much but we feel so self-satisfied and smug for finding it, being so tricky!
Thanks!

I twisted and turned in one spot while La Kedi twisted and turned in another spot. She won. Cache extraction proved to be a little tricky but we got it out in the end. TFTC
