My muggle husband husband are on holidays from Brisbane and today was our last day . We were staying at Bundy and today we took a drive to bargara. My husband found a nice place to read the paper while I took a little walk to find this cache . The hint helped me find this cache quickishly between muggles. Log book was full so added more paper. Thanks for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

20-Oct-19
sorted this cache out yesterday but as I didn't have a pen returned today around lunch. Waited for a break in the passing foot-traffic and retrieved the cache before walking off to the nearby shelters for a shadier spot to sign the log. Found the other nearby cache before returning this cache to it hiding spot.
In the US, the are referred to a LPC and are somewhat common to the point of being dis-liked. (Lamp Post Cache).

thanks for the cache and pointing out the nearby facility.

Much stealth required to secure this cache with a high muggle area for sure.
 
21-Apr-19
Managed to find this rather quickly which is always a surprise for me. Then had trouble opening the cache and then found the log full. Managed to find a space to add my initials. TFTC

On a 3 day geocaching binge around Bundy, plus an out and return to the tunnel and a couple of other "to do list caches"
Today is going to be spent chasing the ones on the north side of the river. RazzFinished the north side yesterday, today the south sides turn
An easy find
All good with the cache

Found this one after reading the hint - had to wait for a while to retrieve because of all the muggles walking along the path. Good hide, deserves a favourite point. TFTC Bethden Smile

Found easy at night
Very lucky with my family
 
26-Dec-18
An easy find while out for a stroll due to a good hint and comments in the logs.
Thanks
 
23-Dec-18
The cache is a twist off and now much easier to open and it is on the marker
 
17-Dec-18
I brought the fam out to this one because they were staying in the resort across the road.

We found it easily enough, but couldn't get it open. My husband is a mechanic with very strong hands, and my dad is a truck driver with equally strong hands.

We saw in the log that others were having trouble, so my husband took it back to the car and finessed it open with a little lubrication.

Log was signed, and hopefully people who find it after us have an easier time opening it
 
28-Nov-18
Found it but can’t open it sorry TFTC

Found the cache very quickly, but trying to get the container to release the log was futile!

Found this with hubby Ex-egll but couldn't open container. He has sent a photo to owner. Visiting here from Canada and loving your beautiful country.

Cannot open the micro to open log

I think this is the smallest cache we’ve found so far. Nicely hidden. And a beautiful spot. TFTC!
 
25-Sep-18
Felt a little suspicious with this one, but a break in foot and car traffic had it in hand , signed and replaced. TFTC
 
01-Sep-18
TFTC. A beautiful sunny morning , so we decided to head down to Bargara. We decided that a walk along the foreshore was in order and there were plenty of caches to search for along the way.
Luckily we managed to quickly locate the cache and avoided the muggles as they wandered along the path. Great hide.
 
31-Aug-18
Love caching in another country. Thanks Australia for having so many to choose from. Quick and easy find.
 
Cool little micro hide - but also very hard to do without raising suspicion - glad we attempted this at night. TFTC Smile

Too many people. But think we know where it is

Found yesterday quick and easy find with the hint in mind and finding GZ
 
22-Jul-18
Continuing our stroll along the esplanade, this one required a little loitering as gz is somewhat of a sunday muggle hotspot. Still with the hint and teamwork, all was good.
 
15-Jul-18
Quick find thanks

Nice and quick while here to see the turtles. Tftc Bethden
 
13-Jan-18
We had a quick trip to Bargara before school starts to see the turtles again. We spent a little time caching Saturday morning. This was our first.

Mrs Petalkids grew up in Bundaberg, so always nostalgic coming here.

This was found easily (not many options!); navigated by ED (aged 6) and found by JM (aged 6). TFTC Bethden. #553

I really liked this cache. It made me feel naughty and tingly all over. On second thought I was just getting giddy thinking about having another cold beer.

There were plenty of people around and so we had to wait a while before really looking up the skirt. I think these days that sort of talk would probably land you in jail but today the PC police were also busy having a beer. tftc
 
25-Dec-17
Visiting Family for Christmas, so we decided to get some caching done while here. Tftc.
 
06-Nov-17
We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.

Now settled into Bundaberg for a week, today we headed to the coast to let Geocaching be our tour guide.

Thankfully we found your cache.

TFTC Bethden Cool

29-Aug-17
Visiting all the way from the UK. loving seaside town here. TFTC
 
24-Aug-17
Over visiting from NZ for a couple of weeks and Tiki touring up the coast and around. Trying to find as many as possible up here north east of Bundaberg before returning south.

With the hint, it was not too difficult to identify where the cache would be hidden.
The path was not too busy today so it wasn't really a problem to sneak in and grab the tiny cache once there were no muggles about. The hardest part was rolling the log up again after signing. TFTC
 
11-Aug-17
Good hide! TFTC and Greetings from Germany!
 
10-Aug-17

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL WINTERS DAY!
 
03-Aug-17
Mr Parko was scratching his head upon reading the hint, but Mrs Parko spotted where it may be hiding in no time. Very clever little hide here Bethden, happy to be here at night when no muggles were around Big Grin
 
30-Jul-17
We found it but it was far, far too busy to grab it and log. Another time!

In Bundaberg from Sydney in advance of our visit to Lady Elliott Island. Yep, stealth is required here but it's amazing how little notice passersby take of geocaching activity! Interesting cache notes. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
