Took a while for me to find this one and had to resort to the clue (nuts) as i had a limited time frame with sleeping babies and only an hour to complete a bunch of caches. Nice hide.
4th of 9 on a hot bike ride, but great cycling beside the cooling creek and cover
Cheers for the cache, wingaap. Have now done quite a few of yours over a couple of days.

Found while dodging afternoon muggles. All is good with the cache.
Dropped off TB to continue its journey.

Out for a ride along the Enogerra Bike Way out to The Gap and grabbed some caches along the way. Took me a little while to find this one as there were so many options to choose from. Eventually found a little way from where I expected. Well hidden. Tftc
2nd find today its always good to have extra legs along doing the hard yakka TFTC
Highlight here was not the cache itself, (sltnln, abc, lol, etc) but the nearby tree which the mooselings spent ages conquering. Shaded, cool and a rope attached to assist in the clamber back up. Ah, to be young and unaware of the consequences of gravity again...

Out for a pleasant bike ride with friends, combined with some cache hunting. Great day.

4th of 6 finds today at 14:07. 8/9 marked off the geocaching calendar too.
I had cycled past this cache many months ago, several times in fact, but there were too many muggles to stop and find the cache. Today, and surprisingly, because it was a fine day but not too hot, the path was empty. That meant I could stop and attempt this cache. After working out what I should be looking for I found the cache.

Wow. That was fun finding that. Only had 15 minutes to get there from my drop off point. Find it and get back to my getaway vehicle. Thanks!!

We were banking on finding this cache but it didn't happen straight away. Not sure why I checked out the wrong spot so well as it was obviously never going to be the hide. MrG found it where the GPS said. TFTC wingaap.
quick and easy find, thanks
logged the 23rd on the log, was meant to be the 25th- not that it really matters

Well this was an adventure.
Was at my brothers rugby game and decided to stop and get this one at 6pm. Not a good idea without reading the description.
Still I persevered.
Getting Half way down I decided nope not in the rain and dark.
Then i dropped my torch......
Well I went down but first and looked around only encountering a large spider.
Resorted to using pictures and finally snagged her. Only to realise in the torch dropping debacle is lost my pen too damn! ( it was purple ) took a picture as proof and could no longer see the spider.
At that point I booked it to the car.
Thanks for the cache !

Goodness. This stretch me to the extent of my wall climbing abilities. Took a while pulling on every piece of retic before I spotted the hide. Thanks wingaap for another strain on my wet jumper and the glowing smiley on my map.
Beautiful big trees around here! Now do I go down there, lots of pipes, hmmm maybe, nice climbing adventure, found the swing rope off the tree. Found what I was looking, tftc. Took tb.
TB drop and all is well with this cache on a lovely sunny (which is rare!) morning! The creek has nice clean water and is flowing nicely.
Number 25 for the day. Easy find thanks to the clue. Fortunately soccer was over for the day.
A quick find before watching the soccer. Left a rememberance ribbon from St Paul's Chapel in New York.
I must have come down in the shower that occurred on my way here; I was looking for the wrong size container, of the wrong material, at the wrong end of the GZ. Resorted to photos to give me the hint I needed.
Took ring, left bowling pin.

Fairly easy find once we got the right brick wall - Geokid 1 had a brilliant time finding this one before I did! TFTC
A Quiet day of caching with Mastamak & BosNewellgus. Our aim was to complete the On Your Bike series, having completed that series it was time to move on to the next series. We Arrived at GZ and we understood what we would be looking for, with a bit of searching, looking like a frog up and down the wall, it did not take to long to come up with the cache. I was happy it had not been to wet else some of the other exit holes maybe wet?
The cache was in good condition at the time of visit and found on a bright fresh day.
This was the 5th find of 30 finds for the day.

Out and about on a day of caching with TriBre & BosNewellgus.
Gee there is enough of them in this wall. Only looked like a couple from the top.
Finally found the right one.

Tribre went in for this one. Was looking at all of the suggested hints except the right one.
Wanting to attempt these caches in the right way, I hired a city Cycle in the CBD and headed out to Newmarket where this ride would start. There are a couple of large hills between the CBD and the start of the bike trail and those city cycles are at least 25kg! Anyway I was soon on the cycleway and enjoying the ride and caches.
Plenty of choices but found the correct spot after a couple of unsuccesful attempts. Thanks Wingaap for this great series of caches along a beautiful cycleway. TFTC.

I do like the way you title your caches, very cleaver. Took TB to move on. Thanks wingaap
jmandea on patrol very kindly dropped off a new log book. How the old one went missing is beyond me. Regardless, thanks jmandea on patrol....you kind efforts are much appreciated
With egginthesky as my caching partner in crime tonight, we parked her vehicle close by and legged it over to GZ. A scramble about the place and egginthesky spotted the well hidden container. Signed the log and replaced as found.

Out tonight with little miss [purple]Nyssaflutterby[/purple], we decided to continue our journey in the area to clear some of the bike way caches, but this time, due to rain, we went by car.
this cache was found without any troubles and the container was quite exciting

The morning walk is usually in this area and I was going to go and pick up the GC I had left in there some weeks past, as it had not moved, but when I arrived I instead found it had been picked up yesterday and instead a lovely Butterfly TB had been left in its place; so I picked that up and will move it on. Today was a lovely day for an early walk; not many people around when I made my descent....then I popped up clutching the prize only to see a seething mass of runners in the not too distant ends of the path approaching from both sides....looked like some fitness class approaching...the Geobeast and I beat a hasty retreat and left. Alls well with the cache, which despite the fact that I've found it now quite a few times, still tricks me!
Well I started out thinking I knew where to look but no. So check the hint ahh but then what is this about climbing trees. In the end it has been found and log signed. Muggles back up the creek a little but to busy trying to play against the currant.
Picked up TB and dropped in TB.

This one stumped me today. The area was a little too cliffy for the loose and adventureous 2 year old I had with me so I didn't have a thorough look. Plus there were lots of cricket, rugby and walking muggles. I'll be back.
Dropped off a traveller in between dodging the doggie patrol (cricketers have retired). Groovy pink log book provided and container tucked away neat and dry.

Did a walk by with intent to drop a new TB I'm releasing (I want to release it near my normal walking route, but the other caches won't quite fit this one, however this is a nice size geocache!) but the area is thick with Cricketers, so will come back in next 24h; shall bring a logbook (it will be a stealth job outside the cricket hours ha ha). Picked up a few TBs there a week or so ago, but didn't notice if there was a logbook then? (it was early and raining quite heavily however...so probably wasn't quite with it!).
Stand by...

All good and dry - but no log book in this one. I didnt have another one with me to put in - so maybe someone can put a new one in it? TFTC
See what you mean about the gaffer tape. But geodaughter and dog decided to go down whilst I just observed on top of the rocks so as not to look too suspicous. The stream was flowing well today. A few dog walker going along before tea time. TFTC
By the time Eco s:topped directing traffic from above and decided to climb down, Rev had grabbed the prize. Dropped TBs Red Jeep and Diabetic Tb:-)
So many muggles! But safe & cozy down there. I'm so excited I feel like I'm on a FTF hunt! TFTC Wi gaap
Tried for this one at about 11:48 today (Saturday) even though it is marked as temporarily unavailable. Not a good time to be caching here. There are hundreds of muggles playing or watching cricket of the junior variety. Came back about an hour or so later. The cricket’s finished and most of the muggles have departed. Cache easily found as it was lying on top of the flood debris. Not sure where it should be hidden so I put it back in the wall so that it couldn’t be seen from the path above. Its easily seen from the right direction though.

Given the level of the flood...I doubt this one will still be in place.
Disabled until I can check it out....or the creek goes down...whatever comes first

Well I think we were lulled into a false sense of security here after the earlier detailed-hint walk-up finds. Found plenty of the aforementioned items but, having read the past logs, maybe a bit more is required. With time up for our morning walk, Mrs CF strode back to the car with Mr CF following after a final search. We'll be back to continue on the trail sometime so it's likely we'll start here.
Not a muggle in site today. This would be a different story on school days. An easy find with the many clues in the log name and hints section. TFTC.
MrsGreenGeckos and I got leave passes this afternoon to have a wander around some of the geocaches around my home. I have had these caches on my 'radar' since moving in here (at my father-in-law's) since March this year.
With my new get fit campaign finally allowing me the fitness to pedal great distances, this was one of our finds.
Can I overstate the evil genius bit? we searched, literally, high, low and left for this cache only to find it in the first spot I had 'checked'. Obviously a 'boy look', though.

Having a ball after stumbling onto this power trail. Found on a caching day while visiting from Sydney. TFTC
the cache. Lets roll on and grab another two and pick up lunch at the shops, well two became one and lunch was had back in the park daddy. We do the return trip home finding a cache that had a muggle sitting at GZ on the way through to note the two blokes we just passed must have found it less then five minutes before as they headed back to their silver 4wd parked at the park. Time to crank it home and crank it we did, cruising back to the car apart from a plant transplant into a
This one took a while. Wrong time of the day. I went to look and my shadow kept an eye out for the muggles. I only I believen in my instinct if the obvious I would have found it quickly. Tftc
For such a small bank it sure took us a while to find. Luckily there were no muggles passing by.
Another short walk, but a not so quick cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 1087. Oh yes I remember this one very well. Three mountain goats clambering and stumbling and searching and re-searching and getting more and more frustrated. Then suddenly, voila!, Robmc produced the sneaky cache like a magician. So there it was after all. TFTC
This one took the three of us way too long to find. A huge number of pipes in the rockwall. It must rain a lot up here?? We have seen no signs this week, thankfully
Thanks wingaap
Thanks wingaap
My last cache for the day as it turned out
With many muggles kicking a pigskin around nearby I had a peaceful poke around the bank for a cache
A few tried and tested rock climbing moves later and I could reach in and grab the cache
Another smiley in the bank

Muggles would have no idea this cache was here
I really love the big tree nearby, so we took a picture of Amelia checking out the place with the GPS - she is one cool cacher girl.
A favourite from me for the cache location itself and also for the lovely big tree nearby

Nicely done - I nearly gave up on finding it - searching every possible hiding location. Then, there it was! SL TFTC
The creek was running swiftly through here and sounded great as it crashed over and around the rocks. La Kedi scrambled around for this one coming up with the goods pretty quickly. Thanks wingaap.
I distinctly remember clambering around this area before, hunting for a cache! Happy to say that it didn't take me as long today, though I did still get to clamber . The creek was looking marvelous, heaps of water bubbling along, and I even saw a Bunyip! Or maybe it was a log... TFTC, wingaap. =^.^=
Reading back through the logs - I, too, thought this was the home to a certain possum. Glad to return to the area
In true Fangsoki style, I climbed around like I was looking for the possum. Well at least from this approach I made an easy find. I signed the log and re-hid it - giving it a little more cover. The cache is in great condition. TFTC Mr Wingaap
