Hi radnoski,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Stortigirls and I had planned a day of caching at the Gold Coast. For various reasons, our plans were shelved for the day. So, after finding a nearby cache, we headed to this one.We searched and searched without luck. We made a PAF and our friend confirmed that we were indeed in the right place looking at the right thing for the right thing. The cache was no where in sight. It would bee great if this cache could be replaced, as it is a great spot for one. Thnaks for bringing me here, anyway. TFTC
 
20-Oct-18
I mean, what the hell is this even doing here? Great spot, TFTC!

It has been such a long time since the planets have aligned to allow Mrs Just a Trifle, barbbowman and Raynersinoz time to go out to play for a day, so when the opportunity arose, who could say no to a day of fun Razz We had a great time, finding some interesting caches and wandering around some peaceful bush land paths.

Thank you radnoski for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy Big Grin

Out with barbbowman and Mrs Just a Trifle today down the Goldie. It's a great day for caching, sunny and warm, let's see what we can find...

We were in the area today and this one was on the way to our target cache. Hmmmmm, that is so not what I was thinking of finding, LOL! With a bit of acrobatics, bb was able to reach the cache and we soon had the log signed. TFTC radnoski Smile

I love this cache. We were stumbling around in the general direction trying to avoid the arachnid family members and spotted it. TFTC was a fun find.

31 March 2018- this cache was quite difficult to get to as we had to jump over a tall fence. However it was worth it!! Very fun and such a great cache

Wednesday 16 August 2017 - another glorious warm sunny Winter's day in the mid 20s finding 3 from 3 caches. Here with MuggleDaughter visiting MuggleSonInLaw in GCUH recovering from brain surgery yesterday.

For this cache I successfully found the trail off Griffith Way to take me into these woodlands however a large amount of dumped rubbish covered a fair bit of the path approx. 50m making it tricky to walk through/over. Then my concern with the warning signs around Griffith Uni regarding snakes inhabiting the area I did not feel safe to go cross country for a shortish distance in the dense leaf littered forest dressed in short shorts and sneakers that was giving me little leg protection from any snakes I may encounter regardless of the large stick I was carrying. I was then further concerned by a warning by a student that it was not safe for a lone female to go bush. Oh well, plan B needed to be put into action.

Soooo... I decided to try accessing the bush from Olsen Avenue and got just 60m from the cache before a 2.5 m fence stopped me progressing much further. I considered climbing the gate but thought better of it on this occasion. Oh well - maybe some other time appropriately dressed and with a few friends.
 
15-Aug-17
I actually read the other finders comments, and figured I did not look hard enough the last time I looked.
So I took another go at trying to find this cache. I even (as with another poster) tried balancing on the __ and looking high and low, but still no luck detecting any magnetic attachments.
 
11-Aug-17
Unfortunately this cache was not found.
From the cache name (its magnetic) it had to be attached to something metal.
I found an "out of place" metal object at the posted GPS location (and it was the only metal object with 10m or so of that location within this bush land).
However after searching the entire metal object, nothing was found.
 
01-May-17
Was in the area today so thought of finding this cache Smile . We parked as close as we possibly could and walked over to GZ. We spent 10 minutes searching, and were about to give up and until we saw something out of place and investigated soon discovering the small cache Razz . Thanks for the cache radnoski Cool . TFTC!!! SmileSmile
 
23-Feb-17
TFTC, nice walk, wow, I did'nt expect that, now this cache certainly won't get muggled.
 
09-Feb-17
Boiling hot day, pursued by mozzies everywhere, but I managed to find the cleverly hidden nano! Interesting feature here, it's certainly not a common bush species!
I went back to my car via the other nearby radnoski cache, and drove off hoping to shake the cloud of mozzies that had settled in for the ride. After a few km the last of them had disappeared out of the window and I was free again.
TFTC!
 
29-Dec-16
On a very warm afternoon we decided to take a trek to this cache - turns out it was a little cooler under the shade of the trees. Thanks.

Of course- this was done at night! May not have been a good idea- an ambulance siren made us jump! Found with a geofrriend ! TFTC!
 
05-Sep-15
Glad never say di was around! I would have died from fright!
 
06-Aug-15
That was a good lunchtime adventure. I must have looked pretty funny, balancing up on that ____ and trying not to drop the ____ and trying to sign only to find the log full. You guys sure have some strange um foliage here in Straya! And big ass spiders. Thanks!
 
21-Jun-15
Yayy found this for the 10+ favit point souvneir. Will update log soon tftc
 
18-Jun-15
Not what you expect to see in the bush. So obvious where to look before heading into the bush. TFTC.
 
05-May-15
Wow romping through the Bush in the middle of the night, nothing strange for a cachet. Round and round in circles and bang there it is, someone's idea of being funny. Took a little bit to find the cache, and I hate these ones, but good experience overall .
 
10-Apr-15
Had to hire a car to do any more caching this holiday. I better find many to make the money worth while.
I followed the fence-line near to gz then realised I was on the wrong side, so back I went to get on the right side.
At GZ I thought it had gone missing. With a lot of poking around I caught a glimpse of a suspect cache container. Then several attempts with available tools to reach it I eventually had it in hand. Strangely I had more trouble getting it back in place. After several attempts where I almost lost it, I ended up putting it in an easier to reach position. Hopefully the next to find it can put it back in the right spot
Thanks for the cache.
 
21-Mar-15
We had red lights all the way here on approach and once at GZ we had to stop again wait and look left and right, down the track than up. We soon made quick work of this one. Out on a cache day with gullivers and cantcacheus, log was signed and placed back to its hide tftc

It's Pi Day!!!! March 14th 2015 = 3.1415 Big Grin

Today I was out and about with T-Tech, teamdfl and Brother Colin to attend 3 Pi Events (souvenir #1) and find an Unknown cache (souvenir #2) [^] Once the second souvenir was done, the others accompanied me on a little walk to grab the two nearby caches. As we headed into GZ, I had a look at the Description and Hint, and wondered what I was going to find... ohh, yep, that sure didn't grow there! Not too hard a grab, but the boys had lots of fun making it harder for the next searcher! TFTC, radnoski.
 
14-Mar-15
Came all the way south to turn the Pi day into a third of a pie and attend 3 Pi day event in a day [:p]
Traveling with IolantheK and teamdfl and Brother Colin Big Grin
IolantheK and I searched for this one ourselves as the others had already found it.
I think that "this" approach to the local intersection hasn't been used for a while, but that's probably just a sign of the times Red Face
I spotted and retrieved the container, but returning it took a bit more effort Razz
TFTC radnoski Cool

A great day of caching with Swellerfungus. Our original plan for the day had involved climbing a hill or two but with the weather looking unfavourable we tossed about a few ideas and initially agreed on a trip to the Gold Coast to grab some caches to fulfill various Jasmer, DT and old cache requirements as well as picking up some solved puzzle caches. The morning started at 5am in rainy conditions but by the time we hit the coast the weather had turned lovely and we both wished we'd brought our swimmers. As we picked up a few caches we realised they all seemed to be different DT combinations and our thoughts turned to chasing the 25 unique DT challenge. So totally unplanned and unscripted we started the countdown required, steadily progressing through the grid, slowed up every now and then by the odd DNF. After 14 and a half hours we had completed our 25 different DTs and picked up some great caches along the way.

We seemed drawn to GZ by some sort of irresistible force where the eighth wonder of the world awaited us. So many questions whizzing through my brain - how, where, WHY?? Mr Fungus performed the heroics on this one to enable us to add our names to the log. A favourite for sure. TFTC
 
24-Jan-15
A long weekend offers a great opportunity to get out and about for some caching. The weather however had other ideas...or so it seemed. With a rain cloud over proceedings Seffnjarah opted to head out to collect some outstanding solved puzzles (some unsolved by me until the night before!), some challenge caches, some 'oldest 100 in QLD' caches, some Jasmer filling caches, some higher D/T caches, and ultimately some interesting caches. Shortly after starting we realised that our choices had given us a great start for the 25 Different D/T ratings in a day challenge (GC5C5PB). In all a fun and challenging day around the 'Dark Side' of Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Oh GOLD! I am still laughing at the absurdity of this one! I will be recommending this one for ages. GOLD, GOLD, GOLD! Its a MUST DO! Brilliantly clever. Fave Pt for me!

03-Nov-14
This was on the list of must do's for the day. Wondering how to access this one with all the road works going on. After rechecking, we spotted the hidden WP. In we go and making good progress till the fork in the road. You guessed it, we went the wrong way Twisted

After turning around we start getting closer. Finally at GZ and yes they don't. Set about the search, checking all the wrong spots. Barb finally spots the sneaking thing.

With our names added and another terrain spot filled, it's on to the next.

TFTC
 
03-Nov-14
wide awake at 3am so what do you do ... go caching

I just knew it would be there
but checked the other spot first

I visited this cache today and everything is still in place.

Although the cache can not be accessed via Olsen Avenue, there are tracks starting from the waypoint below.

S27 58.213 E153 22.680
 
27-Jul-14
This cache is not available due to construction which will majorly change the area. The area currently has large machines, fences and a lot less trees than a few weeks ago.... I will keep an eye on it and see if archiving is required. (I hope this one survives)

According to the inter-nerd....

The next stage (Phase C) will upgrade the Smith Street Motorway, Olsen Avenue (south) and the
interchange connecting the Smith Street Motorway and Olsen Avenue. This phase includes:
- constructing an auxiliary lane eastbound on the Smith Street Motorway, between the on-ramp
adjacent to Jamieson Drive and the off-ramp to Olsen Avenue, using the existing road formation
- widening the Smith Street Motorway from four to six lanes from Olsen Avenue to Kumbari Avenue
- resurfacing the eastbound and westbound lanes on the Smith Street Motorway between Jamieson
Drive and Kumbari Avenue
- constructing a free-flowing loop in the southeast quadrant of the interchange
- constructing a new signalised intersection on Smith Street between Parklands Drive and Kumbari
Avenue
- widening Olsen Avenue from four to six lanes, between the interchange and Crestwood Drive, using
the existing road formation
- widening a 200 metre section of southbound road shoulder on Olsen Avenue, south of Crestwood
Drive
- changing the speed limit on the Smith Street Motorway from 100km/h to 80km/h west of the
interchange, and from 80km/h to 70km/h from Parklands Drive to Kumbari Avenue
- installing a CCTV camera on the Smith Street Motorway opposite Parklands Drive to improve
monitoring and management of traffic conditions

06-May-14
Booyah Found it!

I am a HUGE fan of pinterest and this is where I first discovered Mr Radnoski -Geocache mastermind.

Whilst visiting my mother on the gold coast today I just had to check out a Radnoski cache. Muggle mother asked "whats so good about Radnoski caches?!" so rather than trying to explain I got my phone out to show her my pins on pinterest.. whoops shouldn't have shown her that pin...I had no idea the pin i was looking at was this very cache site.. unfortunately I had spoiled this cache for both of us!

Oh well- I'll still give this a favourite point ...The picture did not give away the cache hiding spot and mother muggle was extremely impressed at the size of a nano.

I have to say I admire your creativity Radnoski.. A cache should not ALWAYS be just another tupperware container. I hope one day I get to meet you and say hi (I promise i am not a stalker!!!!)
 
08-Apr-14
What an interesting GZ! I was starting to wonder how this may have arrived here. Then I thought in the interests of the CO I better not think about it too much! I'm sure it's all legitimate! Thanks for a very interesting cache. Lucky I'm tall. A favorite point for this one. TFTC. SL.

Found GZ, two attempts still no luck Smile
 
10-Jan-14
We eventually found the easiest way into the gz, although not all that easy in thongs! And not use to this prickly area as the Victoria bush ,which is my usually stomping ground, is much different. Spotted what we were lokoking for and soon had the cache in hand! TFTC
 
10-Jan-14
Found with Tamzy! TFTC Smile
 
23-Aug-13
After meeting Radnoski at the international geocaching day last week, we couldn't help but have a good belly laugh when we found this one. It totally suites his personality lol. What a fantastic way to end our day of caching. Definitely something a little out of the ordinary! Thanks for the cache Radnoski, and a favourite point from us Smile

I have replace the log with a new one.

Cheer!!
 
04-Aug-13
Found with Poynts95 and Sportacuss on a half day caching run in the Gold Coast area. We did a bit of fishing after the caching. Only 11 for the morning, but some good caches found, and some good walks as well, courtesy of some Radonski caches. Thanks to all CO's for hiding and maintaing their caches.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did not expect to see that there. Funny stuff. TFTC and we continued on our walk.
 
04-Aug-13
Great cache. Hint great. Log full.
 
04-Aug-13
Thanks for the cache, very cool Smile
As stated prior, log book is full. Speaking of full, Pratty22 and I filled a garbage bag of rubbish during the trek in from where we parked..
 
20-May-13
I was definitely not expecting to find this in here, however it is a great place to hide something on. Wonder just how it happened to end up here though, oh well it is here and serves its purpose for the time being.

TFTC
 
01-May-13
As I was already parked in the side street and just came from another cache this one was next. Unfortunately I went the hard way to get there. Probably not a good idea to head into the bush via the track at the end of the street. Theres a better option back at the intersection. I followed the track to a dead end. So a bit of bush bashing was in order. On the way up I found other tracks which I guess were from other geocachers. Finally got to GZ and realized just how close it is to the main road. Doh. Anyway a quick search and the cache was in hand. I don't think I'v ever seen a tree like this one. Thanks for a great hide radnoski. SL.

Visiting from Newcastle, staying with my brother in Nerang, found with him (frayeromm), lots of bushbashing (in the wrong direction), loved the end result, gets a favorite, TFTC radnoski!!

This one was actually hilarious. Watch out for snakes in summer!
 
01-Nov-12
It was a hot day in the dry old bush but found this relatively easily. I was able to get the cache BUT whoever comes next will need to do some jiggling to stand this back up again. Two people could do this relatively easily. SORRY radnoski!!
 
27-Aug-12
Best I've seen so far. Well done. TFTC.
 
26-Aug-12
Found with Fizz62 on a big caching weekend. Love this one. Took two of us to retrieve the cache, but it was worth it. Thanks Radnoski
 
25-Aug-12
Found with goodlookerz for which I am glad. It took two of us to retrieve the cache. A favourite from me
 
25-Aug-12
Had a few hours to kill and I could think of nothing better than getting a few more smilies on the board in my favourite game.

I had parked close to Dude where I would be able to pick up the 3 caches on this side.

I couldn't believe my eyes as I approached GZ and just had to laugh at the unusual growth.

I searched and searched for a while and could see no sign of the cache and then all of a sudden I saw the lights and had the cache in hand.

Great hide Radnoski. Favourite point goes out to you on this.

TFTC SL
 
12-Aug-12
We had just been discussing vague hints yesterday evening - base of tree, under rock and it's magnetic being the most popular I think Razz. Of course there are always exceptions - for example this cache Wink. Soon had a likely GZ in our sights Big Grin and duly located the cache. I would say without incident but only just Surprised. I can just imagine you pair setting this up and giggling away as you do Wink. Good one! Thanks radnoski

Nice Hide, been to this one a couple of times, lucky I live close by. Had me scratching my head alright got it in the end, ps not exactly in plain sight though??. TFTC.
 
30-May-12
Aaaaaaah this cach is killing me... Ok I'm pretty new to this. Am I missing something? Been to GZ twice now (lucky I live near by) and buggered if I can find it. Randoski I love your other caches but this ones got me stumped.
Ps structure is still there. Failed to mention before.

While at work today thought I'd go find my first nano as this one was unsuccessful. Found it pretty easily and when I saw it, thought damn must go back to "its magnetic " no longer needing my gps (can find it blindfold now) got to GZ . Hey presto. thanks Radoski for the clue. Should have Thought about it a little more. Soooooo happy I found it. ( is that normal? ) ha ha.

Nice walk through the bush brought us to GZ. We had to wait a while for the "green light" before we could move on. Very interesting nano, we did not have to search long for this one though. TFTC radnoski.

Encouraged by Aussie L I decided to tackle this one today. someone has apparently moved the superstructure because it is obvious from the path. But the cache container is not obvious. I wouldn't want to do this one on my own - I could end up in hospital. But with a steadying shoulder nearby I was able to do the deed. I hope the structure is stable, you wouldn't want someone to move those stones. Eek! the thought of two guys putting this together is hilarious. Makes me glad I put out "We love radnoski caches" nearby.

Having heard a little about this one from previous finders we headed in and soon spotted our destination. Once we arrived at GZ, it was Gaz whom changed elevation to retrieve the little sucker. We then had to watch the traffic as we left the area.

I'm just slowly making my way south for a week-end out on the bike. The second day on the bike for me down the coast. Smile

Now to start a crash course in caching. Razz The teacher will be Mr Radnoski Smile

Class 102 turned out to be a little harder. I do not want to know how far you dragged that to get it here? But I did find it and was not eaten by the ants either. Razz

Thanks, now onto the next lesson....
 
20-Jan-12
Not really knowing what to expect with a micro in the bush, I was very amused as I spotted GZ in the distance. I don't know how you did it, but it was absolutely brilliant. It was one of those caches that produces an audible chuckle when I see it. Thanks very much for an imaginative and one of the most unusual caches that I have seen. Well, unusual under the circumstances Smile.
 
01-Jan-12
A nano in the bush? You mongrel ... and I thought you were a nice guy Wink. Found GZ easily enough after walking from “your car”. Spent a while trying to decide what you’d done and then proceeded to check all the nearby trees for anything suspicious [B)]. Finally got the idea and soon had the cache in hand. As a matter of interest, I tried moving “IT” and decided you and the fanged one must have had a hell of a time setting this up. Love ya work [^]. You made me smile.

I don't normally enjoy hunting for nanos in the bush but I found this one enjoyable.

Thanks radnoski. Well done.
