Great camp, it is a pity it needs some TLC. Log is very fragile. TFTC

Loved the camo but lid warped & doesn't fit, was stuck in sideways. Needs new log. Sorry had nothing with me to remedy. Also NOT attached. TFTC

TFTC. As others have commented, lid no longer fits. Log nearly full too. Great spot on a sunny Sunday.

As we were in the area we decided to finish off a few geckomaster62 Caches we still needed to find. This was the first on our list. This was quite an easy find and the log was soon back in its hide. This was another well disguised Cache. TFTC

Little miss bennybopper on a roll today left my pen in the car so x marked the spot today

Water was flowing quite quickly due to the heavy rain over the weekend. I amused myself helping fern fronds along in the current and wished one of my younger children had accompanied me today.They would have had fun. This was a great hide but as others have said, the lid is loose and will not fit back on.There was some sort of celebration going on across the park. A group of men had already had a few too many at around 10:30am - a couple were stripped to their underpants and one was walking around on the roof draped in a sheet!

Today I met up with beach.bub23 for our first outing together

Another leisurely walk brought us to the parade of paperbarks [^] We picked the right one straight off, and the cache was soon revealed. Another neat hide, but the we couldn't get the lid back on... TFTC, geckomaster62.

What a lovely walk, definitely paperbark parade. After a little bit of a search, cache was located. Such an awesome container although the lid doesn't seem to want to fit on anymore! TFTC

Nice walk and quickly found. Lid is not fitting. Tftc

#7830. Troodles located this one. Good to have a bit of shade to do the paperwork on a warm winter's day. TFTC.

Nicely done camo.

Had trouble replacing the lid, though - it kept falling off so will pay to have a CO check. TFTC.

Tftc... nice work on the camo....

A nice well hidden hide. After a bit of looking I soon found it. TFTC.

I think we just best our GM62 speed record. Great little hide. TFTC.

Quick and easy. Lucky I have tiny fingers or we would never have got the log out. TFTC.

Could only get log out woth tweezers. Sweet camo, easy find

Very neat little hide. The lid doesn't secure properly. I am not sure it that is how it is supposed to be but the top wasn't cammoed either.

An easy find in the dark, thought the hide was genius! TFTC

Found it! Great camouflage! Shame someone left the log on the ground out of the container but all replaced and ready to go for the next adventurer! Tftc

Having no success at a nearby cache, I ventured onto this one. This was a very nicely placed and suitably cammoed container. TFTC!

I was in the area for a few caches and I spent way too long here. I had the GPS and phone. Every single tuft I checked but to no avail.

What a pleasure to find such a cool cache

Had to pop up to Brisbane for my 16yo daughter, and had about 3 hours to kill, so was able to grab 13 finds, including this one. Some pretty nice hides. Thanks to all cache owners fir hiding and maintaining their caches.

A really well done hide. Fav from me.

I had to take the cache maker to Greenslopes for a doctors visit, so decided this was a good opportunity to grab a couple of caches, especially as I don't get much caching time these days.

The first time we tried to find this cache -- a long long time ago now, it had been muggled, so we were very glad to get this mark off the map.

thanks for the cache geckomaster62

Found in the company of an old hag
TFTC

Dad and Tashbo out after bailing last night. This is an ingenious cache. Great work and thank you!

Thanks for the lovely stroll in. Deserted park at this time of day. Cache all in good order. As always great work with the container. Thanks for the cache.

Wingless women and mummakazz found another amazing cleverly disguised cache coordinates spot on

Excellent camo. Tftc

Very nice hide, thanks for the cache!

Tftc

Nicely camouflaged.

Got to stick it somewhere but even the well done job of camo didn't stop a find. Unusual plot of turf with the line of shady paperbark trees.

We were in town today for a doctors appointment for our daughter and Geo Wife had to accompany her.

I was just the transport so Geo Wife gave me her blessing to go off and grab some caches which meant we would save on parking fees as well.

I chose this area with nice group of caches and easy parking so I was hoping for a good run.

This was a nice pleasant walk to GZ and after a quick scan I spotted my prize.

Was a magnificent camo, WELL DONE GeckoMaster Favourite point coming your way.

Brilliant camo in this park, it didn't take long to locate this one once at gz. Tftc

Quick find once we were away from trees and GPS settled somewhat. Thumbs up for the creative cache. TFTC.

Easy find with kestal

I have enjoyed finding a few of geckomaster62's caches today. Some very creative hides. We made a quick find with this one as the GPS lead us straight to GZ. TFTC

Out with Aussie Liahona, KarenHippo and Bristracker grabbing a few caches after the Dawn Event.
A well cameoed cache. Great to find lots of your caches.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks geckomaster62 All good with this cache

Hard to think of anything more to say - my caching mates have said it all. Yes it was another creative geckomaster cache and I saw it at once. I wish we had stopped there because our next efforts were unsuccessful.Geckomaster caches rather spoil you for lesser efforts.

Out caching with Aussie Liahona, Bristracker and Team Benders after event this morning. Very awesome hide here, really love the creativity of Geckomaster62 hides. TFTC

Our gps brought us close to GZ where a quick find was made. We all took turns signing the log, Bristracker, Karenhippo, Team Benders and myself. What a great way to fill in some time after the early morning event today. Cache was found in excellent condition. Thanks for a well camo'd hide geckomaster62. [^][^]

!!!!!!! tftc!!!!!

My second attempt here with a much better outcome! Thought I'd swing past on the way home for one more souvenir!

What a great job on the camo, hopefully it'll be muggle proof! TFTC gm62 bag is torn but log all dry.

#65. TFTC. Great camo. Well done. Quick easy find for me today.

My quickest find yet! Great camo!

I found myself in the area for work this morning, and looked to a cache I could do in my business attire, and this one looked good. It was only in the way to the cache and I noticed it was one of the craft master GM hides. Right...game on!
A pleasant stroll in the park took me to two obvious choices, however I zeroed in on the right one. Wonderful cammo as always thank you GM!

Loved the container. TFTC!

Great camo

Nice easy find on this wet day, the kids and I sludged through the wet grass and found a very interesting little cache.

great camo. TFTC

Great hide. Will drop a favourite point here. TFTC GM62

Very cool. Caching while geo-kid is net balling . Am impressed with the amazing hide

What a wonderful little hide this is, quite interesting art and craft work, but suits the location very well.

Tis also makes it #400 for me.

Found on my 2nd bike ride around this area. Perfect day day for caching, started early and going to get a fair few in


Vey clever hide. I am guessing this is what should of been at a previous cache that I visited today


TFTC

Very cool cache and much easier to find than I had expected. A wonderful demonstration of how blind the average muggle is All in good order, log signed and I was merrily on my way. TFTC thy Master of Geckos

Nice quick find after the muggles with the dog left.

Lovely Cache!!!
Tanks for it!!!

I love this Cache!!!
Very well done!
?
Lovely greetings from germany

I had stopped caching before midday with 29
Had to drop the daughter off and drove straight past this one and a few others.
With Number 30 and 31 in the bag I decided to pick up a couple more before midnight.
Does that mean I am officially a cacheaholic?
My daughter played netball nearby but when the kids were there it was never a good time to attempt this one. At 11.30pm now thats a different story. S After fighting a canetoad for a piece of paperbark in the creek I soon refocused and spotted another well constructed Geckomaster cache.

I nice park that I am sure sees a bit of water during heavy rain. I thought this one was going to be tricky but I was pleasantly surprised to find it very quickly. Very nicely put together cache.

Very nicely constructed TFTH

Up visiting from Canberra so what a great way to kill a few hours. Great weather too! TFTC.

Went out tonight with Abe Rosenstingel to strike a long awaited blow into geckomaster62 territory.

I really liked this one. We found it immediately thanks to a stiff breeze, but otherwise, the camo job is perfect. Well done!!

TFTC, geckomaster62!!

The natives were restless that night (the 4 legged variety) as we approached the GZ. A very well concealed container that only presented itself by good fortune. Otherwise a long, scratching search would have ensued.

Once again thanks to 5Meerkats for making the find.

A great container, TFTC

Nice one. Once spotted it was made extra difficult due to it currently being guarded by a swarm of hundreds of wasps!! Geomum made the mercy dash in and out to retrieve!! Yikes!! TFTC.

Oh, GM62, you've done it again!
Arrived at GZ and the phone pointed in the general direction, though it suggested I should go wading...
As there's more trusting human than technology in these matters, I had a look at a couple of nearby trees. Nothing, so it was time to cheat, read old logs and the hint, that is.

Okey, I probably have already seen it and gone blind, so let's start again. Put better eyes in me head and took a fresh look at things. Et voila, there it had been all along...

Another fantastic construction from the CO, and should be awarded two fav points! Btw, best use of the said container.

Thanks for the fun!

#98... Counting!

Well GM62, this could be the funniest log you read this week..

I parked Sooty and sauntered off to a stately row of said object..

Prodded and poked and peered for about 10 minutes. Nothing popped out of the object of interest.

But perhaps it's on the other side, I thought? You see, a temporary fence of orange plastic webbing had been strung between the trees, making it difficult to examine the fence side of the foliage... hmm

Just as I was about to do Bad Things having made the decision to investigate the other side of the object of interest, I glanced at the GPSr.

Um, er... How is that possible? It says I still have 90m to travel to GZ! Oh dear!

With some regret I moved on from the tree I was now feeling very familiar with, and shot across the grass!

Rounding the corner I was almost hit in the eye by the cache which was... Well... It was right there

Bizarre and some kind of wonderful all at once? Truly I have never seen such a thing in the wild

Signed the log, replaced with care, and scuttled off to my next location on the other side of this site.

TFTC (as always) geckomaster62

Awesome! Took me awhile, but like others said once you find it you wonder why you didnt see it sooner-well done! Forgot pen, will sign on weekend

After moving to the area a few weeks ago I thought it was time to go and see what the locals had to offer and I was very impressed from the start.

After finding the magical zero mark on the GPSr I started to search. After a few minutes it just jumped out at me. After seeing it I can't understand why it took me that long and that's what makes it such a great hide.

Worth every part of a favorite point.

TFTC

We walked across the park and jumped a couple of creeks (one not so successfully!). Saw a muggle and his son trying to catch tadpoles in the creek, but they were far enough away not to bother us.
At GZ was looked around for a while before Bettyboo noticed the well camoed hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 1205. This was our last day of caching in Brisbane before flying back to Melbourne tonight. With Robmc and Feathertop and yep I was the one that didn't quite hit solid ground crossing the trickle of water, but I did find the cache. Brilliant. Loved it. How camo and how clever. Paperbarks are great for subtle camouflage that is for sure. Yes I think a favourite point is warranted. TFTC

We had a nice 200m stroll to this one leaping two drains on the way, though one member of our team managed to land in the mud!
Once at GZ the hide that will never be found by muggles was quickly spotted.
Liked this one
Thanks

A short ride from a previous favorite point GM62 cache, I came across another cunning GM container. I really like hides that are just completely invisible to the average Joe. And this is a classic.m Another favorite point here. These suburbs are a great part of Brisbane's caching scene - all thanks to these sneaky camo'd GM hides.

I was passing thought the area when Brig (GeoDaughter) asked if we could stop off and grab a cache, she marked this one to start with and once i had seen the CO name I asked her if she could pick another one as i normally don't have much lucky with GM62 Caches. Needless to say she said don't worry I will find it... I had evil thoughts in my head (wait and see hahahaha!!)

I really do like GM62 hides! They are right in front of you to be seen but not understood by the average muggle. Arriving at GZ, it did not take me long to locate the cache, I did not let on to give GeoDaughter a go. She told me it must be at another location and then I informed here it was right in front of her she could not believe the container!

The container was in great condition and the logbook was dry.

TFTC GM62

Found this one at 1340 hrs with Tiamet.

Very impressed with the container. TFTC

A great little hide. We enjoyed the ingenuity of this cache. Found with BCF88 on an afternoon caching spree.

OH MY GOSH

THAT IS AWESOME

28th find of 33 found today whilst out on a most enjoyable day with the amazing Fasted69 and the delectable Barbbowman

Well, after a short break from geckomasterliness, we are back in GM central coolness it seems Can't say anything more without saying too much, so I'll tikc that fav box instead. Liked the area it was in too.

Thanks for placing this cache, geckomaster62. Found in good condition.
{Overall find #1321}

Can't say too much as I don't want to give anything away, except for very nice work.

Up to the usual standard we've become accustomed to from GM62.

There goes another favourite

TFTC

Out and about on this cloudy, rainy day which was nice as muggles were mostly inside. Had no idea what to expect for this one and we were pleasantly surprised at the camo. Well done again, we weren't too sure how to get to the log but eventually worked it out.

TFTC

Decided to grab this one with Whint, Net88 and Gambler today, so headed off past the crowded and noisy netball courts and along the grassy area towards GZ. When we arrived Whint was talking about how she had issues here last time. After a bit of a look around the clever cache was located and a logbook extracted. Nice camo job indeed. TFTC Geckomaster 62

found with captain terror, nett88 and whintandbaddal

TFTC:)

After spending close to an hour looking for this one on my last visit I was keen to find it this time around... so while in the area with Captain Terrorist, Net88 & Gambler2000 we made our way here... I soon spotted the little fellow and was relieved that it was complete.... thanks for replacing this one Geckomaster62

tftc, very creative, haven't seen one like this before

Found whilst out caching with two thousand gamblers, Bad Dal and Whint and Captain of the Twenty year olds. We walked past the Netballers to this cache. After a few short minutes the Captain had used his power of awesomeness to find the cache. We all looked in awe at the camo. Whint seemed to think it wasn't there last time... think she was lying though Thanks for the cache

Found with nannalyn and geonewphew

I loved this cache very original. TFTC

Hi I am back !!!!!!

Arrived at this one and had the place to myself to search. Spent 15 min looking carefully around but didn't come up with a cache.

At about this point I gave up for the day and headed back to swedish school. Was glad I could at least find my own cache there!

Sadly this one has disappeared . Back to the lab for version 2 . Back soon .

Spent way too long looking for this one.... eventually we tried to PAF {or two} with knowledge in hand we kept looking.... this one still evaded us.... so a DNF for us today

Arrived at GZ to find a local in residence. After scratching about unsuccessfully for about fifteen minutes the local started to get a bit annoyed so I deemed it prudent to move on.

Found this afternoon on a very wet day. Lovely camo on this one but spotted it after a quick search.

I got an instant bad feeling about this cache. Dogs in the yard looking at me, muggle fence builders across the creek looking at me. Time to fix the bike seems the only way out here.

Now what am I looking for here. Not there or in there or around that side, what twists and turns could be going on here. Oh there it is - very clever. However still no lights turning on for that other cache.

We wandered down and got to GZ, to find a muggle nearby working on a fence. But we were lucky and the muggle had us out of sight so were able to do a search. Kaisho53 found the cache and discovered why he didn't have this one in the GPSr! He found it before!

Anyhow a very nice hide!

Found while out on a early sunday caching jaunt with Gunnie69. Kaisho53 and MrMeccano.
