Gone-ski.

Big rock gone. Camo rock gone. Cache gone.

I will open up the area for someone else.

Cheers.

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.
 
23-May-12
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 Razz. Thanks for the detailed investigation of the area anyway!
 
12-May-12
had to come back to put in the jeep geocoin.
 
04-May-12
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.
 
29-Apr-12
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.

Last cache for our Gold Coast trip. Took the Compass Rose geocoin and will place somewhere south.

With a little bit of encouragement from another friend Geocacher we approached with new reslove.

Flat rock HUM! OK which one? With a lot more light to work by we had the prize in hand in minutes YEAH!!!

Rocks You have not won today!!!!

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
 
27-Feb-12
Nice find

thanks. Lovely day after too much rain.

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.
 
03-Feb-12
This took a little longer than it should while we checking the satelite view I kicked a rock & there it was TFTC
 
27-Jan-12
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.
 
25-Jan-12
Cache returned to same hiding spot. Log book and contents all dry.
 
24-Jan-12
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.
 
21-Jan-12
Came by tonight but despite being in what Im sure was the right spot I had no luck

28-Dec-11
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
 
25-Dec-11
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.
 
19-Dec-11

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.
 
11-Oct-11
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

Cache Hunt 751; GAFF1; Weather, Sunny; Helpers, None; Cache condition, Good; Find of the day, 1st; STATUS, Found; GPSr at GZ - 4m

Got the hire car this morning and ducked out for some 'supplies'...or was that some caches Wink 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.
 
27-Sep-11
Biggest flat rock. Very heavy. TFTH

Nice views

03-Sep-11
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.
 
01-Sep-11
Found after a wander away from TechEd 2011! Had to wait for the gpsr to settle down before finding the obvious hidey hole. TFTC!
 
31-Aug-11
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.
 
27-Aug-11
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

#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.
 
24-Mar-11
This one was really not where I wanted it to be Razz 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 Smile
