9 am on a Sunday morning and quite a few people up and about. Had to wait for a break in traffic to retrieve this one - all good.
On my last day in Australia it's great to change a blue face to a nice Smiley yellow and also to fill a geohole in the calender. TFTC
New cache in place.
Watch out for muggles when retrieving or replacing cache.

Had a good look around the GZ but nothing found. Recent gardening works may have taken place and perhaps the CO needs to visit and confirm cache is still there.
A lot of muggles about so we couldn't do a full search. It's also possible that part of the hiding place has been removed so possibly it's missing. Will try again next time we're at the coast.
Out with my dad for a morning coffee when we realised there was a cache nearby so we looked we found with help from the hint. Thank you it was a great easy find.
I found this cache this morning when out riding. It was sitting on the footpath near pandanus. I didn't have my phone so couldn't check coordinates for where it should be located. Just popped in base of pandanus on right hand side before the waterfront pathway which heads in southerly direction.
Out for dinner with my hubby and we were early for our reservation so we decided to take a little walk and grab this cache. Nice easy find. TFTC.
Avast ye landlubbers & scurvy sea dogs, today we set sail in the legendary pirate ship 'Sabotege' (pirate speak for Geo-Beast) for a raid on them there northern realms.
The mate went in for the grab & is sporting a few cutlass scars as a result, lucky she got the treasure first!
Made our mark & ventured forth.
TFTC me hearties!
AARGGHHH!

We found ourselves in the area today and decided to stop nearby for a snack before continuing on our way. As usual, we checked to see if there was a cache nearby because it really was a nice little area. Without too much effort, we soon had the cache in hand and our name added to the log [^]
Thank you Wesso Family for having placed the cache for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Very quiet here today so able to grab this cache. Lovely spot just to sit. TFTC Wesso
This was a spur of the moment geohunt so wasn't armed with my usual scribble apparatus. Hopefully a photo of the cache will be enough to record the find. Kid wasn't on correctly so put it back safely. Tftc.
Great spot to explore! Some lovely Christmas lights scattered throughout this area too
Parked up and walked over to GZ, coast was clear so started my search and soon had the cache in hand. Great area to bring us to. Dropped off TB Ghostbusters- Winston Zeddemore to continue its journey. TFTC Wesso Family
Time for a Wacky Wednesday with teamdfl [^]
This is a pretty spot! We stopped to buy a coffee and to have a chat to some dogs and their muggles before taking the walk to GZ. No problems making the find here. TFTC, Wesso Family.

We were distracted by the promise of coffee close to this one. A short intermission and it was back to the task at hand. A few people passing and a few in the shelter, but this is one that you can easily do even with the muggles about.
got it .quick sit down to look at the fish. reach in, sign, put back. all done.

After about 10 minutes of searching, I decide circle around GZ one final time before giving up. Just before the end of the circle, I saw the cache and realised how much of an idiot I was. Oh well, nice cache and amazing spot. Grabbed this one after having a beautiful lunch at Green Zebra!
Took TB with me as I am heading to Sydney airport tomorrow.
TFTC, Wesso's!

Amazing spot, setting up for a wedding near by. Got there at the right time. TFTC

Second time here. Last time we only had one minute as had to get to an appointment. Easy find in the end. Great park. TFTC.
I can't believe it has taken me this long to get around to finding this one. Luckily nobody on the overlooking balconies so I could rummage around without prying eyes. No problem finding the cache and it is in good order. Tftc Wesso family
Out for an evening ride up to this cache, it was a pretty quick find, luckily the muggles didn't strike secret seven thanks wesso!
Same stealthy GeoKid found this one too (just found Island Hideaway equally discretely).
After we left we saw a pair of muggle geokids right where the cache was they had something my in there hands I just hope I wasn't the cache:(
I was out doing a little spot of night Geocaching and this cache was visited tonight whilst hunting under the cloak of darkness. The only issue with caching tonight was the intermittent rain that would always decide to fall as soon as I jumped out of the car. In the end I just gave up trying to avoid the rain... Once your wet, your wet. (Plus, there's no Geocaches in the car!)
Here we go again... Yes, again. Another Geocache that I have found in the past and not logged! What made this cache even worse was my name was the last finder in the log. I am just going with that I pre-signed it for tonight.
I think you'll be sick of me soon Wesso Family. Thanks again. Your cache is the same way I found it last time, in perfect order.

Nice, quick find in a beautiful location.
This cache marks our 1000th find. Took a while, but we finally got there.

Found at 1020.
Had brekky at the nearby cafe with geodaughter. (She's the one who introduced me to geocaching).
I knew this cache was close by, so we walked over to GZ and I spotted the camo case fairly quickly.
Panic! No pen in my pocket or the cache - I will return soon and sign the log
Muggles at the bbq's not far away gave us 'that look', so I hope we haven't been busted.

Out on a brief caching excursion after nice lunch at Mooloolaba and jobs at home in the morning.
As we began searching the tree at gz, a dog walking smuggle stopped and asked what we thought the swirling patch was in the water - after discussing as few theories, we got back to the search at hand. A few circuits of the tree later, I found that I was staring right at it - pretty good camouflage provided by the foliage.
Sat down on the lawn to enjoy the view while examining the contents.
Took the Lego lunatic TB, left Fairy Mother's 1st travel bug. Also took wooden fish and shark, left knitted doll scarf and domino.

Found this one today @17:15. Had to buy a pen from the store at Double Bay to sign the log since mine was still MIA. TNLN. Cheers wesso family
Quick find while driving from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast while on holiday from NZ. Tftc
Lovely walk along the lake. Easy find for the kids. Some nice swaps in this cache but we didn't take any as hadn't brought any along with us. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC
Found with mountainman on an afternoon out.
This was one that played havoc with my colour blindness too. Lucky for mountain man .
Thanks wesso.

#228~ Nearly missed this one it was hidden so well. Kids had a play in the park afterward, strange swing arrangement (would be fun to scare kids all swinging at each other at the same time). TFTC wesso family
The kids hunted for a little bit before they came up with the goods and then they were off like lightning to play. TFTC wesso family
#223 @ 11:33am Very hot out here today. Lovely spot. Took a little searching to find without being caught by Muggles. ~ TFTC wesso family
Ooh! Argh! Found it, and some spiky plants too. Well worth the effort to discover a beautiful spot. Tftc!
Good to see another cache at this nice location. I've been past here a few times and there's always someone nearby but with the rain today everyone was indoors. A quick find at 0930hrs.

Another nice spot and a hint I didn't recognise. Well I had heard the name but didn't know the face if you know what I mean. I didn't want to look like a part searching multiple bushes so a quick Google search and I soon put my hand on the cache. A quick wander around the platforms to enjoy the views and I headed on my way. Thanks wesso family for placing this cache.

I was in the area today and just checked in on this baby. All is safe and sound, be aware of the residence in the units nearby
Our car navigator had trouble with this one, so we ignored it and followed our noses to get close to GZ. Then the GPS took over. It really is great being able to go caching when half the place is off at work or school, so we had the place to ourselves. The GPS got us to GZ quite quickly and then we were able to make a quick find. We took the TB and signed the log. TFTC
After letting the Captain find this one while pretending to look at cache notes, signed log and left TB. Nice area. Cache in good condition.

I suggested to Nyssaflutterby as we stood at GZ for this one that I wasn't entirely convinced that the beach here is natural There was a most welcome breeze blowing here though, such a relief on a hot day. We began hunting about, looking high and low but not much success. Nyssa resorted to checking the cache notes again but the ever clever Captain Terror spotted the beast. Added names to log and rehid as found. TFTC wesso family
I went for a solo bike ride this morning for morning exercise--usually it's a jog or a ride with one of the kids. This meant I could venture further than usual... and time to grab some further-away caches!
This is a lovely location, and an easy find if you can avoid muggles (which was pretty easy to do this morn).
Dropped off a trackable: PWN747 Crown Seal.
Picked up a trackable: TWGQB0

1405hrs. No1417. Out for a drive and the sun was finally shining so decided to clean up some local caches. An easy find while checking out the water and boats. TFTCSL
At 3.20. I reckon we were discreet. Left 2 new batteries, took pathtag. Tftc
Today we had a walk of about 13 km throug Kawana, Mooloolah river national park and Brightwater, to find 5 caches.
This was one of them.
Guess we have now found all the caches on Kawana Island!

We had a wonderful day of caching in this vibrant and scenic part of Queensland. We loved the Sunshine Coast when we were here back in 2007 and it is still as lovely especially on a bright sunny day like today. We enjoyed finding this well hidden cache. One thing about caching on the Sunshine coast, it is such a compact area there is no need to fill the fuel tank so often - nice.
Thanks to wesso family.
Thanks to wesso family.
Found it a few metres from where we were staying at my daughter's home on Kawana Island.Had our three grand-daughters' with us and one of them was particularly excited to discover the hidey hole( maybe a future cacher in the making.) SL TFTC
found at 1123 with my brother in law. he seems to be getting the idea of geoching now this his his second find for the day. Nice bright park in the middle of all the large houses. TFTC.
I recall another cache here but a lot closer to the road. It was locked away behind construction fences for some months while some building was going on. Relatively easy find under the nose of a muggle maintaining his boat nearby.

Out and about for a couple of hours with the.3.bears enjoying the sunshine, while Mr Parko was at a chess tournament with the teen.
We arrived at this one and found GZ quickly. There were only a few other muggles around and wasn't too hard to be discreet.
Thanks for the hunt wesso famiy

The coast really is starting to spread out
Took trackables for a visit

A little break on the coast for a bit of caching and maintenance, Thanks wesso family for once again bringing us to a place not ordinarily visited, these waterways are lovely. TFTC
Found on a very windy day out caching! Not many muggles around. It's a nice spot here. TFTC wesso family.
