Found it! Good hiding spot. Tiny container. Managed to add a little something.
No log but pencil good hiding spot and a nice spot needs attention and a bit of care
Good spot, well hidden! Took us a bit to find it but it was a great find cheers! Signed and re-hidden!
Found with Ellabbb. Unfortunately it was on the ground near GZ when we arrived. Logbook was too wet to sign. Have re hid as best as possible but CO might want to check on this one. TFTC, #491
TFTC smile 17523 out and about on a lovely day having a great time finding a few Caches Thank you Snickersallan for placing this cache for our enjoyment
Business drives us to the Gold Coast today, so while here, geocaching is in order! In the company of hatzofff and Imbunda.Found this one a while ago, just forgot to log it. Was a fun find!Log signed and cache replaced as found on 10th February 2024. TFTC, Snickersallan. Are you a Golfer?
Headed down south east qld with RoddyC and Hatzofff to do a message then find a few caches. Many years ago I used to come down here to Trip the Light Fantastic at the Gilston Hall. Beautiful scenery while driving around this area. Soon found a park near GZ and it didn't take long to have the cache in hand and signing the log. Cache replaced as found. TFTC
Had a delivery to do to the Gold Coast today so decided we could do some caching in the area. We had plenty to do on the coast but where to start. We headed to a closer unfound cache and worked around there. It was surprising just how many were unfound for the three of us. Caching with RoddyC Imbunda and dodging showers as we went.Nice quick find.TFTCache Snickersallan
29/11/2023 Find #6740Wednesday Wandering Madness hasnt happened as frequently in the past few months, but today I managed to snare Crew153 for a day out with me. Luckily for me he also enjoys using his GSAK to decide where we should go. We parked up and wandered over, Crew153 staying high while I headed to the lower level. The cache was found quickly and signed before we were again dashing away. Thanks for the cache Snickersallan.
Out for a Wednesday Wander with 1MinnieMoo to clear a few of our mutual unfound caches in the area.WE parked close and 1MM headed to the right spot for a quick find.TFTC Snickersallan
Checked on this today and cache has disappeared. New container in place and all good to go again, happy caching.
In response to a message from Amyjavie, (thank you) I have checked on this hide and it was in fact missing. I have replaced it with a new container and log book and its all good to be found again.
This weekend, jesswrigley and I had a trip down the Gold Coast, comprised of geocaching Events, a family catchup, a Wave Break Island kayak paddle, and a Nerang mountain bike session ride.
Today, I had a few hours looking after baby Warren, so we spent the morning with a Nerang walk along the Nerang River, whilst also completing the [Nerang Walkabout](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/bb9d36b8-68c6-4c49-854f-881baf76da8a) Adventure Lab. Then whilst baby napped, we took a drive south to Worongary and completed the *Worongary Wandering* circuit. It was then time to attend the [Nerang Num-Num](https://coord.info/GCA29Y4) Event for a lunch bite, before driving home via a Q1000 oldie at Pacific Pines.
I was on my drive return back to Nerang to catch up with jesswrigley following her MTB ride, and I thought I just had enough time to stop at this geocache. Thankfully, the cache was a quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. I didn't quite understand the geocache name, and thought this area must have been a golf course once upon a time, but going by the description, it seems to indicate that the street name, Peter Mills, may have been a Golfer? Google seems to tell me that he is a firefighter on TV show *Chicago Fire*, but I digress. Thanks Snickersallan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

This was my first attempt at a geocache. Sadly didn't find it even after looking for a while. Still so fun to give it a try! Thankyou and I will be back to try again soon!
Did not find, searched for 30+ mins and only found the barcode. Unsure is someone may have stolen it or it went missing. Still great to go out for a little adventure
At a recent get together to paddle Hays Inlet, one of the participants mentioned making their next HUGE milestone a unique cache type during the Mega in Townsville…Well if that didn’t plant a little seed that sees me trying to get a couple of hundred caches in two weeks so I can make my little milestone something unique too…
I’m cruising the backstreets of Nerang collecting caches and Adventures…
This cache slowed me down… even with the specific hint… I went back & forth several times before I spotted the main part of the cache on the ground… I kept looking and then found part of the log, the base and the rest of the log… returning to the car I got a small snap lock bag and put everything into a spot that made sense as per the hint…

Honestly kinda hard we kinda just had to start waking rocks to se if there were fake
Me and my friend want today and found it. It was so much easier than I expected I just grabbed a stick and started searching around throwing rocks at other rocks to see if they were fake
Almost gave up due to the last post, I believed I knew what I wanted and the little sucker was there. Log getting close to being filled. TFTC
Not sure if we couldn't spot this cache but even with the hint, activity notes and GPS we weren't able to locate this one.
TFTC! Out near a local park for the geo kids, easy stop & grab. Arby, our rainbow bear loved the spot
