Back on the Gecko trail - this was our fifth find. Arriving at the park I was amazed by the number of family groups, exercise classes and dog owners using the facilities - great to see such a well appreciated park. Fortunately with all this muggle activity, GZ had enough cover to allow us to make the find of the clever hide without attracting any undue attention. Cache and log all in good shape. Number ten for the day.
We were going to grab the next nearby 'Gecko' in the trail but muggle presence meant we had to call it a day. Will return.
TFTC.

A few muggles around this morning but managed to grab the cache undisturbed. Retrieved Lexie who will be moving South. TFTC
Out and about with Mastamak, Jelly_Fish, DaisyLexie, Sar Bear, MonkeyJess, CacheLord and BosNewellgus. I had been looking to release a TB to Celebrate a Wonderful person in my life, my Mother.
Tonight was the night for her release and I had searched for a Cache close enough. What better then a geckomaster62 Cache. We arrived after supper and made the short walk to GZ. Knowing geckomaster62 i knew what to be looking for and had the cache in hand quickly. Spent a bit of time saying my goodbyes and sending off my TB.
Replaced the cache and made our way to more geckomaster62 caches...
This was the 1st find of 4 finds for the night. (Sorry for the late logs I am trying to catch up)

Thank you for placing this cache for us to find. Love your work.=) =D DaisyLexie
The benefit of finding a massive amount of caches is that I've generally seen something similar before; at least it was true of this hide today. I could barely see in fading light and was reluctant to use a torch since there were some noisy youths at the nearby gazebo. I found the cache on approach but extracting the container was another matter. I was almost ready to leave it when I managed to squeeze it out. I couldn't find any better way to return it so I left it the way I found it. Thanks for the cache geckomaster62....one more to go before the train.
Hahaha. Found it. Very clever! All in good condition. Many many kiddie muggles in this vicinity.
A quick stop by on the way to work (gotta get out of this habit!) and the cache was in hand. Knew it would have to be a camo of some sort, but didn't know exactly which one to look for, especially given all GM62's recent caches! Should've just thought classic ... TFTC!
Found straight away unlike my city skyline friend up the hill. Lovely hide. Off to do the geckos now. Tftc
After finding City Skyline Dansync and Dr THR went in for this one. Took a little searching but we found it. Love the camouflage. TFTC GM62
Found this on Sunday and logged it by phone but I just noticed that it isn't showing up. Saw some galahs digging holes in the ground close to the cache. Will post a photo soon. Loved this container outside and inside. Nicely done. A favourite from me. I left a TB in the cache. TN. Thanks geckomaster62 I appreciate the effort you put into your caches.
My first cache! And ran into some previous finders who curiously asked us if we were muggles
I only found this one because it had been tipped upside down... Really blends with the environment
Founding my 2nd bike ride around this area. Perfect day day for caching, started early and going to get a fair few in.
Cache in good order. Nice hide. TFTC

Was out this afternoon on the tail of Gecko Trail and got distracted before I even started with this little cache, well it was an easy quick grab. TFTC
The rock that the container was is now destroyed and the cache is now left exposed
could use a bit of attention extremely exposed
got geodogs a long so it was quite so awkward

Sigh!!!It appears I will have to go back to the drawing board with this one.

Contents are very wet - probably need a more water tight container.

#7 on our way to 17 on a hot day!

Out and about with IolantheK and teamdfl on the bikes collecting some caches in the Seven Hills area.
Easy find, thought this one could do with a bit more cover again IolantheK made the find [^]

Down on the southside with T-Tech and teamdfl for some bike caching
Hunting a few Geckos tonight An easy find as the cache was exposed. A clever container for the container. TFTC, geckomaster62.

Walked straight up to this one - good job I didnt trip over it! Nice crafted container to hold the container to hold the container.. TFTC
Up north from down south in the Hunter Valley NSW for work. What a better way to spend a lazy Sunday than to get some exercise and grab some caches. A very well done cache hide. Good to see some time and effort go into a hide. TFTC.
Up visiting from Canberra so what a great way to kill a few hours. Great weather too! Unfortunately, I got muggled out of finding this one. It'll have to wait until my next visit. TFTC
Went out tonight with Abe Rosenstingel to strike a long awaited blow into geckomaster62 territory.
This was our final geckomaster cache for the evening. And what a cracker it was too. Some people were having a BBQ nearby so would have been curious of our torchlight. But, I think if they came over to investigate, they would see nothing of interest.
TFTC, geckomaster62!!

last Geko cache for the night. once again 5Meerkats came up with the goods and soon a nice, clean log entry was made. TFTC
Thinking like the gecko, I managed to grab this one quick. Made a small pen to go with it, not the most trusty thing out there. If anyone has a proper small pen, it might be with swapping it out.
Not sure what is going on here? Maybe kiddie muggles have taken a liking to the trinkets inside the cache and stole the log book . This is cache no 2 . No 1 mysteriously went missing , and reappeared after I had rebuilt the new cache. That is fine , now I have another hide to place. I have considered relocating, but I fear that it would be more exposed. For the time being, please do not place any TBs or Coins in this cache, until I can see weather our bower bird muggles return. As some of you already know this is truly a "Unique" cache , and I am reluctant to rebuild in another format. The log has been replaced.
Nice new container but there is no log sheet. I signed on the back if the geocaching info sheet.
Finally got a chance to plaster a smiley on this one... Weeeeeeee!
This is the cutest little logbook and I had the pleasure of being first into it at the new coords
Tricky hide and I made sure to put it back as found

Muggled. Found the laminated geocache notice lying in the dirt. Took it with me.
We had to expand out search for this one, but feathertop eventually found the hide.
Nicely constructed.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 1226. Arrived at this one on a very busy afternoon and I was reminded of my trips to Africa. It took the three of us some time to locate the hide and when we found it the log book was missing. I returned to the car and grabbed a log sheet which we put in. I note Lady Annie Bug's remarks and feel that perhaps the laminated sheet and the log book were scattered at some stage. I feel the cache is probably still there but may be worth a check anyhow. TFTC
This was a really busy park mid afternoon on this sunny Sunday.
I guess we were not overly hopeful here but GZ seemed just off the side of the throngs so we scouted about until I spotted the clever hide.
Thanks geckomaster62

Nice quick find with TuisReturn. A great time for us both on holiday around Brisbane. SL TFTC
Our last cache for our afternoon of geocaching around this lovely suburb of Brisbane. We have really enjoyed our outing and the caches we have found. Thank you very much geckomaster62 for placing them for us and others to find. This was a very clever hide and we admire your skills. Thanks for sharing. TN Left: pathtag SL
Out and about on this cloudy, rainy day which was nice as muggles were mostly inside. Loved the container, looked twice at it before realising. Clever hide.

Found with the Murch geofamily. My first cache. Don't think I would have found this one without their help.
Well, well, when approaching the GZ periphery, there was a dog owner approaching what my GPSr indicated as the GZ.
What can a man do then: act natural, whistle, idle, loiter a bit further away looking like this would be completely normal in an otherwise empty park, act natural, look over the shoulder every five seconds to see if the coast is clear...
BTW, somehow the dog reminded of the one I had seen in a photo on a cache page just a hour earlier.
Well, turned out that there was no escape. When things at GZ seemed to return to normal, the said dog came to say hello, followed by the owner. A lovely surprise to meet, Geckomaster68!
Ended up spending a few minutes digging and poking as I was looking for something close to regular. Perhaps even tripping over a Sistema at some point. But this one was better!
I've considered one of these types to one of my future hides, too. It was nice to see that cache model in real action.
I had the Old Timer Geocoin with me, which I dropped off to this cache at the end of my day. It's on it's way to NZ, so please do it a favour and keep it moving.

A repeat visit, this time to drop off the geocoin which I picked up in Cleveland / Thornlands. Time for it so travel further.
Hmm, that looks a little suspicious. Ha, a cache! Looks like a good spot to bring the kids for a BBQ one day. TFTC
I think I may have had an advantage searching for this, as one of the hides I'd found earlier today was not dissimilar. Even with muggles nearby it was no hassle to retrieve and sign, and even though the lid was askew, everything was dry. Nice work, TFTC, geckomaster62. =^.^=
A few people about but it was a rainy day, perfect for caching. TFTC geckomaster
The park was deserted and the nearby workers were hidden by their truck. Got lucky and went straight to it
Love the name of this cache! A nice easy drive by with help of clue .... Thanks geckomaster62 4TC:)
Taken out for my 1st caching adventure with two catchers. Thanks girls.Signed log. Great camo.
I've attempted this one at least a couple of times before, but either ran out of time or got surrounded by muggles. Today provided plenty of time and space, but it was only a couple of minutes of proactive searching before all became clear. All good within and I enhanced the camo just a little on the way out. TFTC once again, GM62!
TFTC! Found with debs22 and kailey77 (her first find, yay!) and my geobub. Very lucky the cache is still intact considering the number of muggles school kids around. Must be all in the jngenious hide. Took sheep, left pony, signed log.
TFTC visiting my sister in Brisbane and decided to pick up a few caches while here.
Showing a new cacher around with sis today and found this one easily enough only having a few issues retrieving from camo.
