Followed the description, searched everywhere but despite 4 of us looking, we couldn't find. Then I realised the last find was in February... So maybe it's been muggled? Will keep an eye on the logs & return if we were just out of luck for today!
That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

I have been wanting to look for this one for a while...and today, before taking geochild to karate, we went for a quick walk to see if we could spot it. Geochild make quick work of the cache and had it in his hot little hands in no time. TFTC.
Awesome fun, found it easily. Lots in it, didn't leave anything didn't take anything. Bryant181
Had an appointment to attend in Currumbin, so thought I'd grab a few on the way home. Was able to get a few good caches.... 7 in all, a good little hunt.
Found quick searching in a logical spot. TFTC.

Last cache at the end of a couple of hours searching in the lower GC area. Lovely big park - not many muggles around. Good hide.
This was the last cache for the day - found 7 in a couple of hours. Good location and first time I have found a Cache like this - impressed - good location too where its placed. TFTC
Great hide!!! Kids had a ball on their student free day sifting through all the little treasures!!
Little story with this one. My sister is a teacher at the GC and one day her students handed her a leopard with the tag attached. She recognised it as an item from a Geocache and kept it until we got to the GC. So the TB is safe.
Nice easy find but the lid was off the tube. SL TFTC took smurf and left skateboard and TB patch

Headed down the highway this morning before work and this was my first stop. Not a muggle in sight, well apart from a guy way over on the other side. As soon as I hit the bridge a golden retriever at a nearby house heard me and had come out to investigate. Great I thought, he's probably going to alert the whole neighborhood but he just watched while I went about doing my thing. Nice big container which is always nice to see. Signed my first log for the day then headed for the next one.
Cheers Oricas

#608. Found the bridge, only a dad and his son kicking a footy around down in the park. Great park here. Co-ordinates were spot on and using a light and my portable reflective device found and grabbed the cache. Did the paperwork under the bridge, replaced it and headed back out. Good to see a large cache for a change. Thanks for bringing me here and for the cache Oricas.
Nice sunny day and got a little lost on the way. No travel bug though. Great Camo.
what a great container. good hiding spot too. left a TB to continue on its way. TFTC.
A quick find after chatting to a muggle walking her dog.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Nice stroll down the path and over the bridge. Was a little concerned for the blind reach as there were heaps of ants but not an issue in the end
The "blind reach" was a little scary with all the spider webs around but given all the work Mr Fuzzywhaler had done it was time for gazelle to step up. Thankfully cache was exactly where expected.
Found today under the watchful eye of a golden retriever in a window in a nearby house. Loved the big container full of swappables. Took two Tb's and dropped one which I can't log yet as I wrote down the wrong no. earlier in the day. If you pick it up before the owner answers me re no. please log it. Thanks oricas
Quick easy find and a large cache to boot. Took the opportunity to drop a couple to travellers.
Thanks for bringing us in here off the highway and showing us a nice little residential area and park. Loved the cache and area. TFTC Oricas.
We acted like trolls and found treasure. While there we needed to be very quite as people walked on us. SL L 1 x TB TFTC
Having parked very close, Whint and I made our way towards this one. Even thought the hint didn't tell us anything the GPSr did not, I decided there was only really one place this cache could be. Sure enough, after maneuvering into the right spot I spotted the cache. A little arm twisting and I had it in hand. A nice sized cache container and all in good condition here. TFTC Oricas
Found with Captain Terror whilst hanging out in the area... nice and easy to find... although I wasn't as keen on the lovely frilled neck lizard who ran across my foot and scared the bleepers out of me Cheeky thing.... all good here

Our last find on our way home from a days caching in NSW. Nice hide. Good to find a decent sized container. Cache is in great condition. TFTC.
We too had a navigation fail trying to get into the area! Eventually arrived with Ms Wig and followed the arrow to its end.... Ok... So I would guess... We soon had the cache!
Nice sized container, thanks Oricas

49th find of 69 found in during the week of my holidays on the Gold Coast.
I took a few attempts to find a connected road into this spot - coming at it from absolutely the wrong direction twice before finding the real road in. But thankfully the rest of the story is far nicer ... and shorter. Cache found where geo-instincts told me it would be with my eyes closed. Nice to see a largish cache container.
Thanks for placing this cache, Oricas. Found in good condition.

Found this one easily enough. I dont usually think too much when reaching into unknown crevices, but I've recently put my hand into a spiders nest so I now use Noo82's trick - using my iPhone to take a photo of places I can't see into... worked a treat with this cache. Nice sized cache with plenty of swaps. Took a 2 pence coin and left a slinky toy. TFTC.
First to visit Oyster Pearl since 05/01/2012. barking dog, only one muggle walking her dog across "the bridge", waited till she was gone, and started our forensic search around "the bridge", took us 10 minutes to discover point of interest. Plenty of treasure inside the cache, black pvc container. My wife and I took blue benadryl bear, a minature penguin and a yellow ninga toy. We replaced our takings with 1-ring of safire, coin two pence olimpic games 2012, and a very special item, Nuts about Golf. just a suggestion when you go to this cache bring with you a rubber glove for safety from creepy crawlys when you reach for balck pvc pipe, not that we had any creepy crawlys during our search, was 100% safe.
boy this park gets a lot of dog walkers in the afternoon!
had to hide from a few while checking out the contents of the nice big cache
took a PNG banknote to use for a cache I'm hiding this week
surprised there are so few caches out here, but that's good because it means someone will have a chance to hide a few more that we can come and find.
well made cache, safe hiding place. [^]

Needed a cache for the calendar today and so drove down to do this one in the late afternoon. Plenty of muggles as in kids on skate boards, dog walkers and their dogs, but all were far enough away to allow for an unseen trip to GZ. Cache found in the obvious spot all safe and sound and in great condition. Plenty of swag. Thanks for the cache Oricas, and thanks for the smilie.

Knew where it was once we got there - wasn't too sure about the blind reaching, lucky i had a man with me found with kadin92. Also, took TB - will move along tomorrow
Back down south today so I planned my available time and this one was sixth.
I had a stupid mishap walking into the driveway barrier within 20 metres of leaving my car on the way to my first for today. Didn't fall over didn't scrape my shins just one very very painful strained muscle.
I was grateful that I didn't have so far to walk for this one as I was still hobbling along determined to still make a good time out of a bad start.
I had aborted numbers 3 & 5 because of my aching muscle but I was still wanting to get this one even after reading the description.
I am grateful I did because despite my limited movement it was still a good find and hide.
I thought it deserved a reward so I left Roo TB there
Thanks Oricas TFTC TSLS + TB SL

Last cache for the weekend. Certainly is a big container and its full of all sorts of goodies.
Must admit getting into this estate on my GP's maps was a challange. Anyway it became a quick find after the drive around. TFTC Oricas
Just like the last finder I had no idea where we were going but IF was navigating and assured me that we could tak a short cut through this way onto Old Coach Rd as we were heading for the Cougals. Seems our silent version of “Karen” lead us astray.
Anyway after doing a U turn we decided that given there was a cache was here fate must have drawn us to the spot. Unfortunately a little cache blindness had us looking in other spots before I decided to have a proper lok

Not having any idea where I was or where I was going, I enjoyed leading 'ruzzelz' on a merry oyster chase around the houses in a vain attempt to take a short cut to Old Coach Road
We were on an early morning mission to the cachelands of the Currumbin Valley.
I made a passing remark to ruzzelz, about there being a cache on [brown]"that bridge over there"[/brown] as we sped past Wonga park.
But how was I to know that someone had blocked the end of Cowell Drive with a row of great big rocks
Suddenly there was no longer any rush
May as well grab that cache on [brown]"that bridge over there"[/brown]
A relaxed stroll later and we started a search.
Neither of us could see any caches
Must be a micro
More looking and 'ruzzelz' produced the biggest micro cache I've ever seen
Thanks Oricas for a beautifully camo'ed, and mega sized cache [^]

Not having any idea where I was or where I was going, I enjoyed the drive to GZ. 'Karen' had me park right outside the lonely dog's house and boy did it have something to say. I pity the poor neighbours. They must be at wit's end. It's such a beautiful view over the park (well, not quite so from GZ ) but the dog's barking made me want to leave as soon as possible. Grabbed the cache between muggles, TN/LN/SL and said, "thank you" for a nice, big cache. So many micros these days . With the dog still barking, I returned to the van and headed off for a bit of peace and quite.
Just read through this, what a whinger I am . It really is a great cache with lovely surrounds and well worth visiting.

Found on the way to work - very cool stash of goodies in the cache - would be a good one for the kids - TNLN
FIrst cache for Geodad and we loved the position.
took necklace and left glittery/fluffy pen.
TFTC we'll be back to that park!

I stopped near the cache in my Geomobile. Before I could get out a large white vehicle stopped behind me. (Caching police?)
No need to worry. It was just Fangsoki and the Lokipagans. We must have all had the same idea after leaving Burleigh.
Some junior muggles took their sweet time to move on and then the search started.
A very impressive sized container with heaps of goodies inside.
Thanks for the cache Oricas. Nice one.
While signing the log one of those pesky cache stalking ninjas hopped on in.

Thwarted earlier in the day by muggles while out hunting with Lokipgan, we decided to try this one again.
I stopped the car behind another one - only to realise it was the Radnoski-mobile. We teamed up once again and made our way to GZ.
After the "world slowest muggle children" begoned from the area, we started the hunt. A few of us kept watch and a few of us hunted. Radnoski soon found the prize. It was in good condition.
A very nice park - and a good job on the container. TFTC Oricas

A popular spot with the mini-muggles it seems. Eventually the path was clear and after a short hunt, Radnoski located the cache. Thanks Oricas
Retreived by the geokids while we watched some locals kicking a rugby ball down on the field below (before the big game tomorrow between Aust vs NZ).
Excellent cache container - plenty of room and very waterproof.
Grabbed the TB, but had not planned any caching today so swaps were left at home.
Thanks to the Oricas for the new hide.

Yahoo - a FTF for us (only our second!) We are staying with friends very nearby, in fact I have been walking their dog through the park most mornings. Was planning a geocaching day and saw this one - our friend looked at us strangely when I read out the directions...realising it was in the park just down the road! (We had commented previously that it was a perfect location for a cache.) Couldn't believe that it had only just been listed and with a TB. Went immediately, fully expecting to see Aussie Liahona already there! Very excited when we discovered that we were the first ones. Thanks Oricas, nice hide in a lovely park!! Took the keyring and Larry the Lure TB, left a penguin, money bag charm and car charm.
Called back to drop off TB "Travelcoin". Thought it was a good spot to leave it, but forgot to take it with me earlier in my haste to get the FTF!
