Looked under the big flat rock but it was not there so as the saying goes 'left no stone unturned' and it was not there either.
No joy with this one. Had a search early one morning with Pagan but no success and then returned the following morning for a longer visit. Still nothing for us I'm afraid. Beastly hide . Thanks for the detailed investigation of the area anyway!
Finally! This cache was on the list for a month already but when we arrived her 1st time there were some muggels around fishing. All their gear was spread around at GZ so we did not attempt to disturb them. As we were in the area again, we gave it another shot and we were spot on and we could sign the log! TFTC radnoski.
Second find of the day, sought some owner guidance to clarify the location.
Cache found soon after in good order.
Thanks for another good hide cuz!

Starting in Cairns with a campervan we ended up in Broadbeach staying at the 5 star Pepper’s…what a huge difference…not only the ‘accommodation but also the place itself…our first highrises after 2000km…we felt like arriving in Miami.
For getting to know the Gold Coast we consulted our personal trip advisor GC…what a good decision.

Went to find this one and there weren't many muggles around to worry about until we heard a huge crash and look towards the road and saw a car accident. So we were distracted trying to help out with it. Once every one had gone we went back to look but didn't have much luck. Will come back another time to do this one
Decided the last night of our holiday here in Queensland would be spent caching. We found 2 out of 9 caches, this was the last one before we gave up. Left a special trackable here from country Victoria.
Arrived at GZ after finding a convenient car park and started a search.
Well we searched high and low... and low meant a bit of digging!! Wonder if the nearby people must have thought "why is that man dismantling that rock wall??"
We then decided to check the satellite view.... yup, that's where we were searching... it was about now that Radnoskis name was mentioned a few times, although not in the most pleasant of ways!!
Were about to give up and Ms Wig gave one last rock a bit of a kick..... well, what do you know!!!
Thanks Radnoski, think we made hard work of this one! but got there in the end.

This took a little longer than it should while we checking the satelite view I kicked a rock & there it was TFTC
By the look of the debris was thinking this cache would have gone under, then notice in the previous log it's had maintenance. Due to the rain muggles were thin on the ground.
Determined not to have a DNF on this holiday I returned today and in the daylight got a glimpse of something under the rocks. NOTE: The cache was completely full of water. I have taken it home tonight to dry it out and I will replace it in the same spot tomorrow.
Came by tonight but despite being in what Im sure was the right spot I had no luck
Found it

Was looking for a bigger rock but eventually came up with the one we needed. TFTH
Came back to Broardbeach today grab this cache, don't know how I missed it yesterday while in the area. Oh well, it gave the misses another chance to go shopping at Pacific Fair, then on the bus to Robina.
We were paddling by so figured, "why let a chance go by?"....Mr L&L found the cache easily while geo-son and I were watching the flock of swallows do their aerial acrobatics just across the water. It was a lovely day for a paddle. The odd person dipping a line. Not sure if anyone caught anything. One lady was returning her Christmas lunch shellfish 'empties' from whence they came! I guess the crabs would find something to eat on the shells. TFTC Mr Noski
Called in today while paddling the ditches around Jupiters'. Found a nice sandy spot to land and the cache was in hand soon after. Grabbed the "Pathtag Emmisary" geocoin and set off again for a welcome feed of xmas fare after all the exercise.
Has been too long since my last cache, great spot to sit down and plan the next move tftc
Got to stop listing to geomum as I usual am correct with where the is. Took a TB left a coin. TFTC
I parked in the suggested area and crossed the ditch. No water today. A short search and the cache was in hand. All in good condition. TFTC radnoski.
Find #3 today - a radnoski hat-trick! Found this one quite easily using the hint...I did wonder if this one ever got wet?! Signed log, and re-arranged its camo. TFTC!

Mr Tardis found this one, while staying nearby at Jupiters for a work conference. It's great to have a few caches within walking distance from the hotel for interstate visitors. SL. TFTC.
Finishing the conference week as I started it, this time from across the ditch
cheers radnoski and thanks for letting me play in your backyard.

Noo82 and I went for a quick walk to this cache before the start of the Gold Coast Blaze game at the convention centre. TFTC radnoski.
A quick find before heading to the game with KateRX.
The cache is in good condition and well hidden.

24/10/11 8:01 PM Find #512 - Greetings from Christchurch via my new home in Melbourne. I just had to find this cache after it popped up on the GPSr just as we were heading to Cold Rock Ice Creamery. We've had a full on week here on the Gold Coast with each day spent at the theme parks, exploring and yep, a couple of caches. We're loving it here and see why so many other kiwis choose to visit or live here. We'll definitely make this a regular visit, although I think after this week we'll each need a holiday to get over our Gold Coast holiday! SL TFTC.
Was hoping to do a much longer caching period but the fast incoming storm had me running around this area as fast as possible. A nice place to sit and contemplate the world if I had time. Many thanks for the cache and I left a trackable that has travelled up from Canberra.
Greetings from us who live across the ditch then across another. The second cache of three found during a caching afternoon for the weebeanz4 and a mate. Was eldest son's turn to hold the gps which doesn't have Aussie maps installed. We gave the wee guy some direction having wandering up and down the wrongside of the river knowing that we were heading in the wrong direction. Eventually an easy find. Tried to leave a glitter glue but it was too long so left an Australian coin (twice the denomination our son removed!). TFTC

Got the hire car this morning and ducked out for some 'supplies'...or was that some caches I parked close by and walked over to this one. GPSr lead me almost into the water before I read the description and started searching. Walked down a little and then saw cache peeping out when I turned around. SL, TNLN and replaced. Hope the water doesn't rise here. TFTC.

The GPS was dong it's best to confuse me here, telling me I was on one side of the ditch when I knew I was on the other side. How does that happen? Anyway, I went with gut instincts & the cache was located straight away. A nice little area here TFTC.
Took the geocoin as it looked pretty cool – will trot it out somewhere soon.
Cheers.

Found after a wander away from TechEd 2011! Had to wait for the gpsr to settle down before finding the obvious hidey hole. TFTC!
One of two Rocknoski caches today. I had tried for this one before but both times the light went before I could find the spot. Today it revealed itself to me. But the camo has come off the container. Forgot to look for a coin if there was one. Whew am I glad to get this one off my list. slowly catching up with GC caching.
My 5th for the arvo & certainly the most eventful. Popped open the cache, after an easy find & the pencil fell at my legs between the rocks. Had to move some rocks & fish it so all gd. TFTC
Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
Nice quick find, however the rock attached to the cache container was a little way from GZ. Found it and put it back, however their is no glue

TFTC, nice quick after reading the hint, thought we would be here for a while. Found with Hinco.
Nice little spot and clues helped find the right stone Jnr Swampdevil took the coin. Nice one cuz from a fellow Kiwi!!
Found the prize, grabbed the two TBs , left Geneves geo to continue its travels to Africa, SL, TFTC
There was not a soul about in the early hours of this morning while we were here. The coords took us straight to the cache. TFTC
Dawn was just breaking as we approached GZ and after locating the cache and signing the log, we admired the reflections on the mirror smooth water. TFTC
Our frunds frum across the dutch have set a worthy problum. But we solved it. TFTC
Travelling with Middnight Dolphin to find this one I stood and pointed and got the boys to collect the container SL TFTC
Just dropped the wife off shopping so now I can geocache my way through the gold coast. TFTC.
Many rock overturned to find this one. Beautiful winters afternoon in the sun though. TFTC.
I enjoyed the walk across the bridge and the nice views. I found it easily and sat right on the GZ which to make it hard for anyone to see what I was doing. It was nice and sunny and I didn't want to leave. Thanks again radnoski.

#713. Arriving at GZ I resorted to the hint and looked for something that matched 'more than the others'. I found a likely culprit and discovered the cache in the first place I looked. A nice spot to sit and relax, thanks for bringing us here, SL, TFTC. -troll, +2x tbs, +lots of kiwiana.
This one was really not where I wanted it to be I arrived at GZ and sighed. Knowing Radnoski, his co-ordinates are fairly spot on - so I took a few readings and lo and behold I found a cache in no time. Co-ords : good, Hint: good! The cache has had a small fail but (have messaged Radnoski about this) but otherwise is in good condition. TFTC radnoski
