Tftc. Luckily they keep that hedge trimmed making it an easy find. Could do with new log.
Found it on 19 September 2024 find number 1212 at 10:00amfor this pirate lady. Tftc
I was heading home and decided that perhaps a cache find was in order today. This one fitted the bill and looked like it wouldnt take too long. So I parked in a side street and made my way to GZ where the cache was quickly located thanks to the hint. TFTC
While my partner was checking out the preloved goods I went for a walk to look for my own version. I found a fine example and made my sign of respect accordingly. Thanks DMonkey40.
Your hint makes for an easy find which is ideal on a busy street, thanking you for this cache
I was needing a traditional cache today for a challenge, and this was one of the closer ones to home. I didnt want to travel far with the rain. With the help of the hint, it was a quick find. The logbook has fallen apart but I was able to sign it ok. Tftc
For a simple hide this was quite challenging in peak afternoon traffic. Luckily, if youre a building inspector with clipboard, camera and the rest of the kit, nobody stops to look closely at what you are doing as you poke around.
I had to move a little further away from my gz coords. But the title and the hint b had me looking in the right place.
This was a nice easy one to find! A few families walked past but I was discreet! TFTC!
Grabbed this after a very nearby event. I looked for this many many years ago on a busy afternoon obviously with no luck. Today it was a quick find.

After a fabulous event at the pub nearby I snuck off with EeePees, Snickersallan and eatmorchikin to find this one. Quick search in the torchlight and the cache revealed itself.

PS - I like the date hidden, 10 days later would have been perfect!

On completion of the fantastic event at The Junction, I joined up with Davinells, EeePees, and team eatmorechicken to look for this one. The cache was quickly found, mainly due to the good hint and the many eyes looking for the prize.
Thanks DMonkey40 for the neat hide.

After a McFormal down the road tonight with my Venturers (big Scouts) I asked the group if they wanted to go find a cache.
I think the photo gives you their answer
You would think with this many pairs of eyes we would have had it in hand in seconds, but with my phone in someone else's hands the group quickly went past GZ and started searching elsewhere. Luckily Catboy67 stopped socialising long enough to glance at his phone and zoned in on GZ pretty quickly and extracted the cache.
Always fun to be out and about with this group and I think maybe it was the first time caching for at least one of them.

This afternoon, I parked on the southern side of the CBD to catch up with karicka for a walk in Whites Hill Reserve. After then going for a drive with karicka, we departed ways and I headed west through Holland Park, Annerley and Dutton Park, to then attend an orienteering Night Nav West End activity.
After parking along a nearby side street, I took a walk along the main road, and along the way, I read a few past logs. Perhaps it was with that research that I had a quick find at GZ. The cache container was in good shape, but the logbook was looking a little damp and tattery, so it may be in need of replacement soon. Thanks DMonkey40 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Dnf again had the right side of the road this time but did not fancy rustling through someone’s bushes when the police kept driving past
Bit of an unusual place for a cache, at someone’s front yard, but I’ll do it anyway. Hopefully it’s the CO’s house and not someone unsuspecting! Quick and easy. TFTC
After attending my appointment this morning I decided to grab this cache as I needed it for a challenge. Managed to find a parking spot close by and at GZ found the cleverly hidden cache. SL then returned as found. Wins all round. Loved the hedge. A favorite point from me.
Found on 23 November 2021 at 11.45am. TFTC, DMonkey40.

Found on our first night geocaching adventure. Even picked up a trackable unintentionally
I travelled up to Brisbane today to visit my daughter who lives close by. I arrived early whilst she was coming home from work and decided to explore the neighbourhood. A nicely trimmed hedge was a short walk away. I arrived at GZ and felt a bit conspicuous. There were some cars and pedestrians passing by but paid me no mind. I looked up and the neighbour in the next door house was looking at me from the landing. I'm sure he has seen such visitors before. I found the nice size cache and was quite satisfied for my afternoon walk. Thanks for the cache
A nice easy find today while waiting for a bus load of passengers from the RSL.

Caching has never really been about the numbers. I drive generally over a thousand km's a week (some for work, some to explore, some for the kids, and some just because I have to) so there's always a cache or two to break up the drive. Having said that, I also enjoy numbers, fulfilling challenges, and quirky statistics. It's for this reason, I'm going to aim to fill my dates found and dates hidden this year, and a few other challenges in the local area.
Needed one for the spot on the calendar today and passing through the area on the way home. This is a cracker of a hedge, definately got some hedge envy going on here. All in good condition here, and being so late at night, relatively easy with no muggles around.
Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache **DMonkey40**

After work i decided to pop in and find this cache on the way home. I found a park in the nearby street and once at GZ i used the hint and the accurate coordinates to find this cache quickly. What a beautiful house and nicely trimmed hedge. Thankyou for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
Out for a quick GeoSesh and thought we would get this one. Nice and easy find. Left Keyring and took 4 Leaf clover. TFTC
We are replacing the fence so I need to disable this cache for a few weeks. Back soon

Felt kind of weird foraging around outside someone's house and peering into a bush so luckily it didn't take long to find and sign it.... Tftc
Having driven past here so many times, for some unknown reason, today, I decided to stop and have a look for this cache... was a quick find, thankfully... I replaced the snap lock bag and returned as found... tftc...
My mum was in the PA hospital a while ago and when I visited her I spent my time wisely looking at this cache. No one wants to be subjected to their parent’s ramblings about how tough life was back in their day, centuries ago.
Each time I was close by the car parking was harder to find than the G-Spot. Today we were back on the weekend so I risked it.
On the walk in there were some magpies close by and I feared the worse. Normally the thought of a magpie beak piercing your skull is scarier than any zombie could muster. These ones must be fed by the locals because they actually approached us for a pat. I saw through their ruse but thankfully I don’t have much in the brain department to offer. tftc

Nice hide! In early gave up... "Waist not want not... you need to get your hooks into this one"
GPS kept bouncing from one side of the street to the other. Cloudy day so that’s probably the cause. Used the hint but was unsuccessful.
TFTH!

After coming to this one last weekend and not being able to find it due to someone mowing right where the cache was, we came back to have another go. This time with no muggles around we found the cache much easier. A great spot! TFTC.
We tried this last weekend but homeowner was mowing their front yard so felt a bit uncomfortable but this time around we found it. TFTC
A nice, quick find as I wander around Annerly...no dogs, only a disgruntled magpie, who must just about be in swooping season..T4TC
While waiting for Mrs XnLovers Mum we decided to find a nearby cache... it was actually harder than we thought it would be and we nearly walked away empty handed! TFTC TNLN
A nice easy find. Finding a parking spot was harder than finding the cache. All good with this cache. Thanks
Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC Orange Crew *369* streak. *2220* Finds
Gotcha! Nice hide, I stopped in here a while ago but abandoned my search due to high muggle activity. Today just before lunch seemed to work well. Tftc
After caching by mountain bike in the morning I relaxed and cached by car in this afternoon.
Parked really close and looked in from different angles until I saw the nice hide
Thanks for hiding- this geocache

I was on the way home from an afternoon of caching with my youngest geodaughter when I saw this cache approaching on the map. A short detour and a bit of a hunt and I was soon signing the log, doing my best to look inconspicuous. Tftc DMonkey40
The size of this cache really surprised me when I spotted it, and I loved the container!
Wifey and I visited this on the way home from brunch. Very much a park and cache, except be careful parking in the nearby pub car park, we got a windscreen letter saying we were about to be towed (even though the carpark was almost empty and we only left the car for 5min!). Be careful!

We came across your cache, DMonkey40, needing a Traditional for a certain challenge on the north side.
After the parked Muggle left it was a quick find.
Log signed and cache replaced at 2:17 PM on November 12, 2018. TFTC.

Thanks for this one. Had tried to find this ages ago like 1800 caches back. Cannot believe I did not find this then if the container was that big 2 years ago. Thanks again
A morning out was spent in the Inner South seeking knee-friendly
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache **DMonkey40**.

Amazingly managed to get a break in traffic and located the container with the help of the hint. Thanks
Sadly, we couldn’t figure out where it was. Hiding from the muggles was almost impossible. Guess we didn’t get the hint right
Found @ 1340hrs
We were visiting across the road and I noticed there was
a nearby cache, that needed finding.
As I toddled off across the road, the property owner was just backing out, so I tried, not very well, to look inconspicuous...
Once he drove away it was a nice quick find.
Once the log was signed the nice sized bison was returned exactly as found.

Stealth indeed! Weren’t expecting to be so out in the open with this one. I had to walk away and leave He-Squirrel to it so as not to draw any muggle attention. Took the car; left a beetle, to keep with the bug theme
Found, using as much stealth as I could on a Saturday afternoon. This is a busy little spot. The neighbours in the high set house next door went downstairs...then they went upstairs...this time with their young child...slowly one step at a time. People walked past. Cars were driving into the pub car park. Of course, heaps of cars drove past. And meanwhile, I was standing randomly on the footpath drinking a slurpee. Must have looked odd. Anyway, I think I managed to grab it when there was no one around. The clue about being at waist height helped a lot because it meant I wasn't down on my knees looking at the base of said nicely trimmed hedge plants. I then wandered down to the bus stop to write in the log book. Just looked a little less conspicuous there. And then returned cache to its home. I enjoyed this one...on the way to work.
Stopped by this nicely trimmed bush on the way home and found the cache with minimal fuss. The next door woofer was quiet too. Signed and replaced. TFTC DMonkey40
Our gps might have been broken but it was sending us into someone house so we looked around that general area but couldn't find it
First cache find in brisbane! Found late in the afternoon with a muggle friend who lives nearby. Found a couple a days ago and forgot to log. Tftc!!
Took a couple of goes between reading posts but had success in the end. This one had been on my list for a while
