Well, I have never had to archive a cache before, but there is just no real way to replace this one here. I might have to place it somewhere else. Thanks to the 8 who gave this one a favourite.
Our last day of geocaching on the Gold Coast, on our way home to NSW
Enjoyed our lunch besides this lake. Then off to find another cache.

Very cool! Well hidden, found by mr geo, retrieved by mr geo after some struggle retrieving by geokid 2!
Strolled on down from bus'ed and headed into the bush. Searched in the wrong place initially but then spotted it. Nice one. Thanks agap2.
Walking around the well-manicured lake from Bus'ed, we thought how nice it would be to live here, watching the ducks on the lake, the jumping fish and the weird little white things... I later figured out these were the rowing thingies . We arrived at GZ to see we could, in fact, have driven, but it was a nice stroll so we didn't mind. I do have some advice for future seekers of this cache, however; if you have long hair, cover it! I lost count of the number of times I got snarled while searching! The Marble found this one, too, but just as I also spotted the likely place from my awkward vantage point. I haven't crawled so much since I was a baby! TFTC, agap2. =^.^=
Found this one after a run around the lake. Hard to get to, easy to find. TFTC. SL
Came in from the wrong side initially. Knew the cache as soon as we (kgage and I) saw it.

3rd find ever and for the day... I think if my phone fell in that water and still worked... I would still stop using it... No pen so didn't open but looked ok condition...
I'm just slowly making my way south for a week-end out on the bike.
After the last two caches nearby I was hoping for a find and I found it
At first I was surprised to not get a reaction when I first saw the 'cache' but then.....well you need to go see for yourself really.
This cache was a quick find and is in ok condition.
Thanks for the cache.

I sent Mr L&L after this one. "Go in and don't come out until you have a cache"! [:X][:X][:X] Next thing I hear, “you gotta see this" so in I went dodging all the sharp pointy bits. Very clever, Mr Gap. Sadly we couldn't sign as the log book was sodden [xx(] TFTC
Oh really, that’s just too much . Loved the hide, but sadly, the log was soaked and unusable.
Second for today. Nice clue and Jackpot, Geogirl 2nd Youngest spotted it in seconds. The log was wet. TNLN SL
The most pocket money we ever earned (and this went up each year) was two bob. Like being on the top rung of the pocket money racket, the CEO. Geokid spied this one before we could say old fogies. Log fairly wet.
These fellows were sitting high and dry - we obviously need more rain! The log was a bit damp and needs some attention despite this. Hope the cache gets back to their natural condition soon TFTC agap2
Loved the hide for this one, Had a good laugh. Log was a bit damp but signable. TFTC
Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 12:51pm. Everything was wet but the log was reasonably dry. TFTC
So cute, I wasn't to keen having to go into the bushes here, the grass was long and I could hear movement in it but I walked a little further down and found a good spot which ended up taking me straight to it.

Had to watch geodog here. The big retriever was quite interested in this area.

Geodog enjoyed this area. While he was sniffing at all the delightful smells, Stairman1 grabbed this one and quickly signed the log. Thanks agap2
Mr Gap placed this one awhile ago so I did a beta search on it a nice little hide in a lovely area
A nice place to visit on our 3rd run around this week on our run to the 10k mark.

A quick find and I loved the hole set up although I am surprised it has lasted.Thanks for briging me to this lovely area. SL TNLN.
Saw a couple of cute ducks on the water when checking this one out
I wonder if in a few months they may have a duckling or two with them
Great hide

Out for a few caches today. This one was published while we were away so it escaped an earlier visit by us and it was certainly time for us to come find it now. Tried a couple of entry points which provided some opposition, but could see once at GZ an easier return route. Looked high and low and spotted three Bob's. What! Oh, the third one was geohubby Bob! Retrieved the log and signed the sheet and then set everything back happily. Thanks for a fun cache agap2. It brightened our day.

While I was still trying to find the right GZ from the GPS, Rifferous was straight to it. Nice hide, love the idea. Thanks agap2
Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
Found today while out with Gunnie69.....
Even though park was pretty busy once you approached GZ you became invisible..
Although we had visions of coinage with this series of caches this cache soon corrected this misconception
Well thought out cache in a good location...[^]
Log soon signed and restored..
We then left B1 & B2 to their own devices and made a subtle return to open visibility adjacent to a busy path...
Thanks pigwig2 for a neat cache

Kaisho53 and I were pondering the cache name for this one and before kicking off the day, it was suggested the caches had something to do with currency... We do trivia you know and bob's are definitely associated with coins in our pre-decimal currency... [^]
On arrival however, we found nothing to do with money... Huh... [?] Oh... that Two Bob... That’s an aptly named cache...
We snapped a couple of pics (as you do) and did what we needed to do with the log. Then, it was time to let Bob and Bob relax again... Although I am sure they appreciate the attention...
Cheers Pigwig2.

Well we started off in the wrong place, but were soon corrected once we ran into Agap2 and Pigwig2
A great cache and would be great to see it with some water through the area
TFTC Guys!

Absolutely LOVED this cache - so clever - so much work has gone into it. Very cute. Easy find with our GPS Hunt app on our HTC Desire phones. Well done Agap2 and thank you so much - it's delightful.
Great camo, first of its kind for me. Listen to the clue and duck on entry to GZ. You could lose an eye. TFTC.
No luck for this team, even with geokids crawling through the undergrowth
Found with Bedmaker while in the area today.
Loved this one, very cool container.
Thanks agap2, and sorry about the late logs.

Another very cool cache find on our walk around this afternoon.
I spotted it first but TG did the retrieval, she likes these ones.
An enjoyable area too that seems very popular on a Sunday arvo.

An easy find for me today. There were a few muggles out walking but none around where I needed to be. TFTC.
Forgot the pen I minded the geopup while MGROCKS went to get the pen.
Cool placement

We had been looking forward to doing this one and a trip to the Superbutcher provided the perfect excuse today. After finding the sneaky way in we actually found the cache pretty quickly and the hint made a lot more sense then. Very good Mr Gap we liked this one a lot. TFTC.
It was the perfect day to meet Mr and Mrs Bob. Now to meet Bob Snr. Very cute ^_^. Thanks agap2. A lovely area.
I had heard of a cache similar to this one - but done in a different way. I loved the container(s)? Lots of muggles around today in the area - but thankfully none were interested in Lokipagan and I. Loki found this one first. It was in good condition. TFTC agap2
The familiar "ping" while I was playing a quick game of Spider Solitaire sent me to my email, where I found a brand new Agap cache. Grabbing iPhone and wet weather gear I set off. Having already found Pink Floyd and One Bob I knew where to go. Puzzled by the hint I tried to take a long way round, admiring dozens of birds out on the marshes (as the ground was by then) and then on my way back to starting point I saw a PP vehicle park behind mine and a bunch of Trekerz got out and prepared for the hunt. I took one way through with a young Treker and the other two Trekerz went north. As soon as I set foot on my path something large and heavy moved off to my right. I still have no idea what it was so if you see it let us know its identity. When I saw the cache I was delighted, a lovely piece of work Mr Gap. We are claiming a joint FTF for this one. Lots of fun in the rain.
Wow!!! What a miserable rainy old day. Not the best weather for humans but some particular animals don't mind this type of weather.
I was sitting at work with a few hours to go when I saw this new cache was published. After reading the description and hint I was interested to see what I would find so decided to head up the highway after work.
It was getting dark and with the help of a little LED light the cache was found at 5.40 PM.
I unfolded the log and saw the word "FTF" ....then nothing underneath the word. (Surely not a FTF at this late stage)
I turned over the page and there were two names on the other side. Well done Bristracker (Oops!!! I originally wrote Aussie L in my log entry by mistake but it was actually Bristracker) and PPT. (over 2 hours earlier)
Nice one Agap2, love your work. Thanks for the cache. Is that your mansion overlooking the GZ?

Sounded like a good one, so even the persistent rain did not stop us heading out. Arrived near gz to find Bristracker, after the phone gps settled down the cache was spotted. Very clever Based on Radnoski's comment we signed the wrong side, blame the weather - it was very wet, and in the excitement of the joint FTF with Bristraker and trying to keep everything dry it just happened!
Thanks Agap - is Three Bob on the cards?
