Stone The Crows Gold Coast City, Queensland, Australia

Staying nearby and decided to go for this cache after getting in from Coffs Harbour. There has been some rain so the nearby gutter was bit of a river. I had come this far and there was no turning back! No muggles in the park so all good. Found an easy, sloppy, access across the torrent and made my way with my new, and very expensive, Garmin GPS. A little back and forthing to try and get the location, with the many mosquitos making a blood withdrawal from me (me in a singlet), I ditched the Garmin and pulled my phone out as that was not as accurate, or the operator on his new toy, as I could get it. Lady appeared on the walkway, who would be crazy enough to go out on a rainy day like today, beside me! Anyways. Thought hard about the clue and saw it. A bit of fallen debris gave it that little bit of extra hiding ability! Found it, gave it a wash in the nearby raging river, and returned it all clean and ready for the next victim.I mean cacher. Happy caching

Enjoyed our day out caching with RoddyC, hatzofff, echocage1Scrub turkey mode employed by all, and a callout to the CO, before finally making the find, TFTC Aussie Liahona

A day on the coast but chose inland. Caching with RoddyC echocage1 poolpool.Bit of acting like a turkey for a while without a find. Thanks for the a PAF - foundTFTCache Nottinghamers adopted by Aussie Liahona

Out today with hatzofff, RoddyC and poolpool. It's much cooler today adding to our enjoyment of the day.Thanks to COs for putting out caches for us to find. This was a hunt and a half and found with a PAF to CO. Thanks Kay.TFTC

Out to do dome caching today seeing it isvmuch cooler weather. Around south of Nerang. With hatzofff, echocahe1, and our interstate friends, poolpoool. Well, stone the crows, there it is!Log signed and cache replaced as found at 3:34 pm on 18 November 2023. TFTC, Nottinghamers adopted by Aussie Liahona

Having spent the day caching around the border, I’m making my way back north but there’s still time for a cache or two…

The almost two years of unlove brought me here… that and the recent maintenance by the COs…

A nice quick find despite the noise being made by one of the local hounds…

Thanks Aussie Liahona

We have replaced the cache. We hope you will search while keeping an eye and ear out for muggles. Please replace camo to hide the cache from muggle eyes so the next geocacher can come and find it too.
Cheers and happy caching!

Day 73 Mainland trip
Out and about with Tassie Trekkers hunting down caches after extending our stay here in the area. We had a great day, checking out some lovely local areas and parklands. We found an assortment of hides and hidey holes. TFTC

Caching in the area with whitewebbs and this was one we found.

An easy find at GZ, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Have tidied this one up a bit and installed new logsheet. Happy caching!

Got it. Looking in the wrong place... good now I have time for one more before work

You stumped me again.

Thank goodness we spied this one quickly, the mozzies were everywhere! TFTC!

Mozzies central, quick find for krcamber whilst swatting the mozzies away.

Stones? Crows? Upper branches? None of my possibilities worked.

Checked this out after not bothering last year with all the DNFs. Saw the cache had been renewed and moved. Well hidden as usual Nottinghamers. Signed the new log, strange no one has found it since October last year. TFTC

Apologies to all those dfn's. This one has been truly muggled. Will attempt to replace asap

Will do a rebuild asap.

??

Dnf

We will be back

No luck DNF this time

Well that took some doing, found on our second visit. TFTC

This was my third visit to look for this cache and the second with DiamonJs. The hint was helpful and certainly led us to this well camoed cache. Thanks Nottinghamers for another clever hide.

Searched a while but to no avail. Nice park though.

Have checked and it's still there. Happy caching!

Looked for awhile for this one but DNF. Noticed that no one has logged it since it was moved... wondering if it is still active?

Ongoing sewerage works have forced me to relocate the cache to another spot in the park.

New location and description altered to suit. Happy caching!

Thanks to heath II who informed me that major sewerage works are in progress at GZ so I will try to enable this one in a few days time.Happy caching!

Found on the second attempt, this was a very difficult one as it was hidden so well! Thank you

Thanks to Gazac for the info. I have replaced the container with a different type complete with a new logsheet. happy caching!

Woo hoo! Finally!!
I had been on a frustrating run of DNFs trying to secure a find today and this cache was the next in line... thankfully i managed to find the stash here. Yet it didn't give itself up easily. I was forced to work for it here and it is a good thing that i wasnt counting how many spots i looked. I knew the tricks that the cache creator can get up to so i had figured the kind of hide it would be but that didn't really help me too much... i feel like i toucked everything twice haha
Cheers for the work on this one and of course for yet another well made cache. Good stuff.
The ziplock baggy is torn up and no longer watertight as it has holes. Other than that, all good.

Can't seem to find it

Had a good look around but couldn't find this one

This ones super easy if you have found other caches of nottinghamers, with the clue it was found within a minute, had to be stealthy though lots of teenaged uniformed muggles around. Had to take the log around the corner to write on it. I really enjoyed this one thank you!

Couldn't find it with 6 people

Could not find... What a shame

Ha ha finally found this one!! Thank you my first find, very cool

Unfortunatley didn't find it

Did not find

my first attempt & dnf

Thanks to Sven...whatever for the note. Have replaced log, bag and pencil. Happy caching!

after a few months I'm back and we tried to find this one during the day time this this time. It actually didn't take long at all. there were a fee ants living on it and the log is a little bit wet. maybe it needs replacement of a new plastic bag for the log. really love the creativity of this one thanks so much

Have checked and the cache is still in situ. Happy caching!

I have been looking for 2 weeks can't find it

Looked for 30 minutes with a friend, couldn't find

Couldn't find

Looked for about 15 mins but could not find. Perhaps too well hidden for me

D1.5 Nottinghamers? How long did it take to find it? Fav

Nice quick find with E another fav point for the day, and TFTC

I found this one on the ground out in the open. According to the GPS I was still about 15 metres from GZ but something caught my eye as I was walking and I stopped to check it. There was nothing there but as I turned and continued heading towards GZ I saw the cache in the grass a couple of metres from the path.

I looked around around both near where I'd found it and also in the area my GPS was sending me to and which was also indicated by the hint but couldn't see where it was meant to be so I've placed it in an inconspicuous spot for the CO and emailed photos.

A new log as been added since I found it yesterday stating the log has been replaced as it was too wet to sign. I now think I must have found the original hide as although the log was indeed too wet to even attempt to unroll I don't think it could've been replaced after I was there yesterday as I didn't know where to replace the cache.

Forgot to mention that I have also replaced the 'container' with the new log. Happy caching!

Thanks to jazz drew for the note. I have replaced the log. Happy caching!

Found it but there was nothing in the cache I left a little red ball behind

The log is too wet to write on needs replacing ☔

Emm no luck ...but first timer so see how we go on the next one

Tftc

Checked and found to be in location. Happy caching!

Sorry I was looking half an hour or more and I could not find it. Can you check if it's still there?

I searched for one hour and did not find any thing may need maintenance

Finally found! This is the first one I took my son to and we came away empty handed. Now after 4 attempts and some nottinghamer experience under our belts we did it! Thanks

This one well and truly muggled. Thanks to Liri-lina for the note and sorry you missed out.
I have replaced with a new container and log/pencil that hopefully will deter any other muggles. Happy caching!

Since my last dnf I have had experience with your caches (and I love finding them!) I went with confidence which was immediately shattered when I saw I gaping hole where the cache should be . I looked around to see if the bits had been dropped or thrown nearby but no luck. So disappointing when you go to do much trouble. Thanks for making this game fun for me

Thanks for the unique cache again worthy of a point not going to have any left at this rate NottingHamers haha
This is why I cache for unquie AWESOME caches. Found at 1.20

Well the uncertainty kicked in on being able to find this one after so many dnf's but with some nottinghammers experience we were marvelling at this cache in no time. TFTC we are lucky to have hiders around like you!

Have checked and found all well with cache safe and sound.
Happy caching!

There was a council excavator clearing the area. It may have disturbed it?

Have checked and found it still in place. Happy caching

Will have to come back another day and look for this one. No luck today

Did not find

WOW!!!! Loved it. Really well concealed. Best one yet. Great clue. Would of been stumped without it.

Another great Camo!! & Great lil park TFTC

Found but very wet due to heavy rain

Had time to swing in off the highway and do one cache,and stone the crows a fairly quick easy Nottinghamer one,didn't think they existed.Thanks Nottinghamers.

Another afternoon out and about after work looking for a cache or 6.
Driving through the neighbourhood looking for a way to approach this one (as my maps do not show a park ) and then I stop parks signs and an entrance.
A bit of a walk across an empty park and playground to GZ.
A quick find.
Thanks for the cache.

Not what I was expecting. TFTC! Cool hide.

Cache is in good condition. Easy find
