Really cool hide - the clue was useful, but could not write on log as it has been scrunched up
Easy find . Though couldn't fill out the log as someone has stuffed it back in and paper rips apart.
This cache was pretty easy and quick to find with Dawesy321 tonight. It was super cold but we managed to find it quick enough. Thanks for all the awesome caches!
Nice quick find in the failing light. Added a sheet of waterproof paper to the log.
Knelt on a bindi, my knee. Tftc. Lol valaria street is just there, maybe i could get me a sword
It was great to see a guy riding a horse along here, just clip clopping slowly along the road. Luckily nowhere near GZ so a quick and undisturbed find. TFTC geckomaster62
Just moved to the area from another city so I have been keen to find my local caches! Took my pooch for a walk and she had just as much fun as me checking out our new surroundings. Quick find but we might stick around and play in the grass for a bit. Thanks for the cache!
Out and about on a beautiful day, caching with Couchmen and two of my kiddies in the Brisbane area. Did some walking, and some of the Gecko series. Some great hides found for the day. My thanks to all cache owners for hiding and maintaining their caches. Appologies for the late logs, doing some heavy duty catching up.....

Out today with Blacklegend and 2 of his children on a perfect caching day.
We had just finished finding the caches up the top of the Belmont Reserve and some along Old Cleveland Rd when we decided to change our original plan and head north instead.
It was a real surprise when I saw the area we were heading into as I had just been here the other day while some of the family were in town.
I had no idea we were this far north but it was nice to come back and try and finish off more of the area.
This was our first in the area and while the kids were distracted by a gecko I spotted the location and Blacklegend extracted the cache.
Thanks GeckoMaster TFTC SL

TFTC. #102. Got swooped by a magpie and shocked the heck out of me. Until I then read the previous log LOL. Great hide.
Cool cache, slowly getting the hang of this....3rd for the day.
Watch ya head, swooping magpies in the area

Had a day off work so decided to spend it Geocaching in the Norman Park/Seven Hills area. For most of the day I felt as though there'd been an apocalypse and I was the only person left alive on Earth, it was so quiet. No Muggles, perfect for Geocaching.
A nice easy one, TFTC GM62

I had some spare time this morning to get to a few caches in this area. Managed to do a few of the 'gecko trail' caches. This was the eighth one I came to. Clever hide. Took me a little while to work out how to retrieve this one but then I spotted a little something that led me to the cache. TFTC, Biggles.
First cache on a long time, accompanied by Geobub on her first cache run. And then I list my own on the way, so couldn't sign log. TFTC
Went here this afternoon with Miss14... had a quick look around but there was muggle activity so we wandered off and sat down on a park bench for a while until the coast was clear. It wasn't until after I was swooped by a territorial magpie that we noticed the sign that warned of magpie attacks. After what seemed an eternity the Muggles cleared out, so back we went and found it without too much ado.
I found myself on this side of town with a few hours to spare, what else is there to do except find a few caches? I have heard about this series and have always wanted to give it a go. I knew I wouldn't be able to find them all today but thought I'd have a go at a couple. I parked Spangle close to GZ and then went off to search. Ah ha! There it is, a quick scope of the area to watch for muggles. All clear. I quickly retrieved the log, signed and then replaced the cache as found.

Start of the Gecko trail and a nice easy cache to get things started. Cache and log both ok. Thanks to the hint it couldn't be anywhere else Number four for the day.

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.
We still had some time left, so off we go. I believe I may have stopped here a while back but due to the muggle home across the way I had never attempted the cache. Tonight everyone was inside and the area was quiet. It was CacheLord that found the cache, with the comment "Come on, here it is! Are you Blind?" Thanks Mate.
This was the 3rd 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
I had picked up MsMaddy from the RBWH today and dropped her safely back home and her own bed, so I thought I would mark the occasion by retrieving one cache at least today. This one was on my way home and a nice find. TFTC
Great location for a spot of early evening caching. Quick find before heading for the train station. Thanks geckomaster62 for the variety in your hides.
No problems getting this one. I'd started the trail in a different spot prior and it is good to return.

After 2 hours doing the gecko trail we managed to find 10 out of 13.
Go back soon for the last three

Just time to grab one more on the way home before it gets dark! A quick find, and a good introduction to the series. Will come back and explore further with the Tiki Kids. Extraction tool needed ... lucky I had a pen with a fine tip! TFTC.
Found in all good order. I think the game with this one is how shoved on there can you get it to make it hard for the next guy? I was nicer. He he.
After the Ms Maddy's garden party Dansync and Dr THR we decided to finish off the geckotrail. When we did the trail 3 months ago this cache was missing. Today we went in knowing what we were looking for. As we drove towards GZ another car in front of us circled around and parked right next to the cache. We waited a little to see if they were geocachers, but with no sign of movement Dr THR walked up the cache to check if it was there and if they were geocachers just waiting for us to leave. Nope, they were looking at a map and within minutes drove off. Once they were gone we had the cache in hand. Luckily the first aid kit contained tweezers. This logbook was not coming out any other way. TFTC GM62
I decided to give the Gecko tail a go for one of my night time jaunts. I have done a few too-bushy night time trips recently and thought some nice urban caches would be just the thing. The night was great for it too. The moon was full and the sky was clear, so I barely needed my torch at all.
I should have read the description better before starting because it would have been better to park as suggested at the bowls club, but as it was I parked next to GZ#1.
Being night, muggles weren't an issue, so I followed the hint straight to this one and had it found in under a minute. Huzzah a good start to a night time walk. Signed up and headed to #2.

Really hard to retrieve someone has pushed it too far in. Look for the fishing line it makes it a lot easier. Again we forgot our pen!!!!
Its about time I started your series.
As I attended the Barefoot bowling Event but did not start your Gecko Trail Series.
This is the first I found.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks geckomaster62 All good with this cache

I had the day off work today so we dropped off Miss A at school and headed off for the gecko trail. Mr T was asleep in the car at this stage. I did have plans of walking the trail but with him asleep we drove to the first three in this series. Tis one was a nice quick find for us.

A mini milestone... ...50 geocaches. It's not alot, but it's a milestone. Cache located in seconds. Still can't believe this was hidden by the Geckomaster. TFTC
Found on way to dropping little caching kai to school. Nice hide and thanks for fixing.
As I start this epic journey along the Gecko Trail I was farewelled by the CO himself. I think I saw a tear in his eye - or was that just some evil smirk? Only time will tell. I am taking some family that are new to the world of GC, and what better way than a trail like this one.
Our first find was a success (phew...maybe Swellerfungus does know how to do this!)
Off into the wild blue yonder....

So geoson & I tagged along with Swellerfungus to learn the ropes of GC… We've only found 3 so far so we were thought it'd be great to tag along, learn bout this new adventure and enjoy. Very happy to enjoy another find.
Found on my 2nd bike ride around this area. Perfect day day for caching, started early and going to get a fair few in
