Football Fever - Sydney Lawnton, Queensland, Australia
By Eco & Rev on 10-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3GRKH

This is definitely inaccessible. GZ is behind the fence. The fence is right against the road. The trees have been cut down. May need to move this somewhere else to continue the series.

Footy season is over so we are archiving these caches

GZ appears to be in a newly fenced off construction site

No spiders here this time. TFTC

Still in good condition, though bag has holes. TFTC

Quite a belated one here. Out with the mooselings for some holiday caching in the area. Thankfully there were a few here to bump up the numbers. Spent some time here but came up short. Another day... tftc Eco & Rev

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 9:38am. The cache was found after searching for a few minutes. We have looked for this one before. TFTC

[Blue]# 11879[/Blue] Found on our 2015 Winter escape trip to Qld.
Another fine Autumn day for a drive around the northern Brisbane suburbs.
I found this one 8m away from my GZ.
Cheers from Wagga Wagga in the Riverina, NSW.
Thanks for the cache Eco & Rev,

Found the cache but so did the spiders

Had a good look but couldn't find anything

Found with Lamps+Eday

People appear to have found this one after maintenance request placed on cache.

This was another one of those where I read the hint and looked at a likely spot but then went and searched all the nearby spots first just because they were a bit easier. Should've just gone to the first place that caught my caching eye!

Well we didn't pick up any footballers here after we found the container but we did pick up a few hitchhiking ticks Thankfully I caught them before they latched on, but future finders beware! Previous logs were very helpful and the container was soon found. Tftc Eco & Rev!

Find #1420

Continuing to round up a few smilies while we have the chance to enjoy the northside.
We are new to the area so hopefully we can pick up a few quick finds without getting lost too often. LOL ...
Took a few minutes to find this one. 'Base of tree at fenceline' threw us a little. Maybe the fenceline has been moved. LOL ...

Signed & returned as found.
TFTC Eco & Rev

We were not expecting to find this one that quickly but we happened to find it in just a couple of seconds with a bit of luck. Beware of the rusted barbed wire! TFTC!

TYFTC. Took just a bit of poking. With the WallabyWannabe family. Merry Christmas!

Christmas day hunt. Sort of an easy find. Thanks.

Looked in the obvious (and easiest) spot and it wasn't there. Spot two proved successful with a nice size spider as I did the limbo. TFTC!!

TFTC:) with reelistic

Skating with Tomorr. Beware of the thorns

Muggled

Could have been muggled? Might need to be checked.

No muggles! Checked all trees and couldn't find it!

dnf

Found the likely spot. However it is not there anymore. Most likely been Muggled.

Out for a quick afternoon's caching with Angela of Angela & Dave.

Angela and Luke stood guard nearby (read: created diversion) whilst Kerry dived in for the prize. The neighbours were none thew wiser!

TFTC, Eco & Rev.

Out and about on a caching day out with Team LJCC.

I wasn't able to find this one the last time due to a muggle decided to sit on the curb directly across the road!

This time we had a clearer run, but still a muggle walking his dog was on his way.

Mrs LJCC made the find and with a quick under-hand pass, we were whistling away, signing the log as the muggle wandered past with no clue as to what we were doing!

TFTC

Found without too much fuss, though it felt like neighbours were watching me constantly. TFTC

I pulled over and emerged to the sound of dogs and little kids hidden away somewhere. Over the road I went and very shortly I was staring at a container in plain view. All good within, I recovered it as well as possible, and wandered back, pausing only to be a little surprised at the state of the front yard over there. Some nice views to be had along this road so TFTC.

Thanks for the cache

Tftc ☺

Took the long drive home from school and pulled over to look for local caches and what do you know? Parked straight across the road from it! Wandered around but before I could nab the cache the silly bus arrived along with about 50 school kids who decided that the bus stop was the BEST place in the whole world to have a gossip. With three antsy kids we decided to abandon the autographing of the cache, but we'll be back tomorrow to officially sign the log.

TFTC

Pretty easy. hint took us right there. TFTC

TFTC! Hasn't been found for a few months so area has overgrown a little. Lost my pen on the way in - lucky W0o0DY was with me. Nice one!

Found with Wombles n Co whilst trying to clear our map of the area.... safe and well here

tftc

Not that one...this one!
Still a quick find once we were in the right place.
tftc

Another one in this series. TFTC

Quick find TFTC

Found fairly quickly. Took note of the number. Tftc

had to try a few spots before getting the right one here

lucky i didnt have to go through the spider webs..haha
Thank you:)

Spiders just pop their webs up anywhere, don't they realise there's a cache here?
TFTC

Found Ok

Found, while taking a drive around the area.
Enjoying the football hides.
Cache in good order, well hidden.
Thanks, Eco & Rev for the hunt.

Couple of likely spots but found it
Soon enough TFTC

Cold, wet, getting on in the day. Where is it... grrrr!

We figured the coords to be about 6-7m out by Mr Garmin's reckoning. Most of the coords in this series have been spot on.

We found the cache after a soggy runaround for about 5 minutes. Hopping up and down until the logbook was adorned with our monikers.

I did notice that a large tree near GZ seemed to be 'foaming.' Since when do trees foam?

Ran across the road as there is lots of (fast) traffic zooming around the corner, and on we rolled

TFTC Eco & Rev

Quick find today but the coords do appear to be out by 6-7m, however it is a rather easy find when you take the hint into account, there are only so many places that it can be.

TFTC

Quick find here. What lovely scenery!
Thanks!
I may have signed every logbook with the 7th not the 6th... D'oh and Sorry!

Last time I was hunting for this one I was muggled out by a couple of guys in their car on the other side of the road.

This time the coast was clear so I homed in, just as a bus pulled up at the stop. I think the driver thought I was a waiting passenger. I waved him on and he departed.

A short search and I had the cache in hand.

TFTC

Found with Matt_Eth . TFTH .

Nice easy find! TFTC.

Second of the series,tftc

[8][B)] GOAL [B)][8] sl.tnln.TFTC

you know I hate those 3 little words Nice! Easy! Find! they cause me the most angst don't think I had my cache eyes with me today still I will keep on trying

Good easy find thanks

Another good find TFTC

Birthday party in progress across the street but they weren't taking any notice of us. TFTH

Swanning along on me pushbike this morning I was kicking around some more caching footballs
By the boundary line I rolled up to this little spot and leant the pushbike against a convenient tree.
No muggles up in the grandstand over the road today [^]
I tackled the cache and signed the scorecard after a successful find
TFTC.

As I approached this one on foot, a lady parked across the road and went into the house overlooking the cache .

But I was going to go for it anyway, with such a muggle prone are, there is little you can do to completely avoid them . So after a very quick search I found the cache and was happy that it provided some cover.

If they did see me, then they probably thought I was some weirdo, not the first time I have been considered that (and usually not just about caching)

Thanks

I got out of the car to find this cache, an improvement on the last cache attempt but muggles in the house across the road were looking out their upstairs door directly at me so I had to retreat quickly to the car. A shame, as this means I'll be two numbers short for the puzzle caches in this series. TFTH Eco & Rev

Found but had no pen to sign log.

Found by geoson, easy find and first one in the series.

Thanks Eco & Rev

We were muggled out the first time we came past here, so we did another couple of caches then returned. Clear run this time.
Another team bites the dust.
Thanks, Robmc.

Seventh of the 18 football caches found today with Robmc. We also found 3 finals so it was a good day out and timely visit on the cusp of the 2012 finals too.
"Cheer cheer the red and the white"
TFTC

Another one down. Located after a bit of scratching around.

at 15:39. Our second to last of the preliminary matches.

TFTC again Eco & Rev. Another cache in good order.

Made a quick exit from the car and dived into this one, thankfully there was no one in the area, and the cache was soon found. Thanks Eco & Rev, enjoying this series.

Returned to look for this one on a week day after being glared at by the muggle over the road washing his car on the Sunday. With no one in sight the cache was quickly found and the clue noted. TNLNSL TFTC

A muggle was standing on the footpath talking to his mate seated in his ute so I decided that, as I already had 2 DNF on previous caches in the series this one will have to wait for another day along with them.

On a day of caching from Caboolture, doing the Footy Fever Series today.
This a great series for footy fans
Thanks Eco & Rev

Was on my haunches signing the log behind the tree and trying desperately to get the job done quickly, lest the muggles across the road come out the front for a morning fag, and a truck going past gave me a toot.

Bugger. Cover blown, but got the job and on my way to the next. No 11 out of 23 on the morning ride.

TFTC Eco and Rev

#418

All quiet over the road so a quick easy find. SL TFTC

For the second time we pulled up beside this cache late at night, only to see the silhouette of the muggle across the road watching us keenly from his doorway. We decided to keep going.

Reading other logs, it sounds like this muggle is aware of the cache, so maybe we'll just go and grab it next time

Whoa.... we could smell the cigarette smoke from the muggle across the road and hear him noisily clearing bodily orifices in his front yard. Palopinto made the call to hightail it out before we even started -- good call that. Will need to return another day.

Back out in the rain with the gumboots and umbrella. At least I don't have to contend with muggles. Found okay. I have not seen this team play live. Grabbed the clue. TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Eco & Rev

Found with Bedmaker.
TFTC

Out and about with Tassiegirl13 today to find a few in this series.
We're almost there with this series only a couple to go.
Saw the obvious spot and found the cache ok.
TFTC.

1335 - We passed the Geo rats whilst they were here ding this one, and we decided that as there was already about 5 of them looking for it, pulling the car up and another 2 of us searching for it might arouse the suspicions of the local residents. So we went up the road to do the West Coast Eagles, and then returned to do this one after they had left. As it was, Brissy Guy Junior said he saw a man in a van across the road who was watching him closely. We found it in good condition at 4:19pm. Thanks again Eco & Rev.

Fortunately no noisy neighbours or muggles to annoy me in this series today

Really enjoyed the set

TFTC

Out & about with P'prime, Gunnie69 & Ghostgums for some caching today...

This one tool P'prime less time than saying the cache name when we arrived at GZ

Log was quickly marked and we moved along

TNLNSL

Thanks Eco & Rev

Football teams are suppose to have tough names! The swans, really!

Found in the company of Gunnie69, Kaisho53 and PPrime (P') while tackling some of the series that can be found on the northside.

TFTC Eco & Rev

Nipped out at 5am this morning for just a couple (100) caches with Gunnie69, Ghostgums and Kaisho53. This one cropped up on our GPSrs as we flew past - so we took a look - as you do

Hint deciphered and we still went to the wrong spot first. A second look revealed what we needed to see. Perhaps a tad more focus from a couple of us would have saved a few seconds re-searching. [B)]

Thanks, Eco & Rev top stuff this.

{Overall find #1151, being the 15th of 100 today.}

Another quick one for the team of non AFL lovers as P`, Kaisho53, Ghostgums and I mosied around gathering numbers to fill in the blanks on some question marks... [^] This one proved to be little challenge to the sharp eyes of P` and before the rest of us had got into hunt mode, the log book was already out... That might have had something to do with the fact that the rest of us were in the wrong spot...

Some ink on the page with all who were present, the cache was stashed and we headed off. A great day to be out and about on the trails...

Cheers Eco & Rev.

Out cycling, exploring the area and picking up a few caches along the way.

Arriving at gz the was a group outside the house across the road.

Nothing for it but the old bike repair routine.

Cache found dry and in good condition.

Thanks Eco and Rev

Sydney are a bit of a surprise packed so far this season holding their own against the fancier teams. Now the crowds had gathered across the road but fortunately the main event was on the patio itself as a family /children discipline event seemed to be the focus. Mind you I was still not comfortable and image this cache could be difficult at some parts of the game

Another cache in the day out at the footy in Lawnton on the geocycle http://connect.garmin.com/course/1451241

The tree wanted to keep me there a while longer so reached out a spindly arm and grabbed my ponytail! But I got away in the end. TFTC

Didn't get a chance to look for this one as there were some people from the houses nearby on the footpath.

Bit of cache blindness at first, but finally scored. TFTH

No. 38

Quick drive-by. Huge huntsman spider jumped off the cache container onto my chest and gave me a hell of a fright!

TFTC

Found at 0912 With Marg. A quick find even though there was a few Liklyhint objects to choose from. TFTC.

GPS had us about 12 metres off

said to daughter..."that looks like the perfect spot"
and it was

As The Marble said, sprung! After successfuly getting the cache, we crossed back to our car and the curious muggle standing by it. After a little chat about geocaching, we waved goodbye, leaving him rolling his eyes ever so slightly at the eccentricities of certain people. TFTC, Eco & Rev. =^.^=

We parked at GZ, well almost, and had the cache in hand pretty quickly. A muggle from the house across the street had come out to watch and explained he'd met the owner the day the cache was placed and had watched the comings and goings since. He asked about geocaching but we got the impression he thought us lot a bit odd. TFTC Eco & Ray

Rummaging around through the undergrowth finally found it. Tftc

Ditto what vval said.The street was quiet so quick was the fox. TFTC

GPS put me between two trees and, as usual, I picked the wrong one to search first.
TFTC

My first find in the day after work. I had aborted on this one last time because there were muggles on the nearby verandah. Today it was a different story.

I found the cache after a small hunt. It was in good condition - and I noted the clue. Thankfully its not too exposed there. TFTC Eco & Rev
