Quick find in a muggle free area while visiting the nearby markets. Tftc all good here
After a quick lunch break at the 10 toes brewery nearby we were on our way on our bikes slowly caching back to the marina. This was our first stop along the way. Only a couple minutes looking before we spotted it. Thanks.
7 for 7 so far today with Woodwahdi! first place I looked although I had to look twice. woodwahdi has gotten the hang of caching so now it is a game of who can find the cache first. tftc!
A busy day with the markets. Parked in the wrong spot but I was in and out quite quickly. All good with this one
A week away in Sunny Qld with my fav person Bogonghazy visiting my gorgeous daughter and partner. Found with Bogonghazy and chonchiandchachi. Thanks for placing the geocache
Found with LittleBoss2 and Chunchi n Chachi while here in Qland. Quick find again, thanks Wesso family for showing us this great parkland
This geocache was my first stop of the day, and a strategic stop in preparation for my planned kayak adventure. The river looked calm and quiet, but I suspected that is what low tide does by scaring others away. I decided to visit this cache first, and with perfect coordinates, the cache was a quick find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. An interesting mushroom formation on the side of the tree; Thanks [Wesso Family](https://coord.info/PR53GJK) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.---------- Today, the scheduled [Canucks in Caloundra....again....redux](https://coord.info/GCAP1N3) event in Kings Beach provided an opportunity to head north and visit the Sunshine Coast. With the kayak loaded, I spent the morning paddling Eudlo Creek from Kuluin, and a variety of bird life was spotted. It was then time to head south to the event, making stops at Maroochydore and Bokarina. I then started to head south towards home, geocaching in Baringa, and recently added suburbs Nirimba and Banya.
A quick scenic stop on our way to the airport in between rain showers, fortunately the showers were keeping most muggles away so it was a quick and stealthy retrieval and signing of the log. Thanks for maintaining this cache in this lovely part of the world.
Over in Queensland for a parkrun Event and we are taking the opportunity to do some exploring and grab a couple of caches.Out for a morning run grabbing a couple of the easy ones around Maroochydore. This was my first find for the morning and I almost run past it. I turned around and headed back and made a quick find.TFTC wesso family
Quick find, due to mozzies attacking! Brought granddaughter to adjacent sporting fields for district trials for AFL. TFTC
Heading home after a lovely weekend spent in Bli Bli. We wanted to find just one more cache before we left so we made a very short detour here on our way past. We got lucky with a nice quick find once at GZ. We had actually driven past here yesterday but the place was chock-a-block with a big sports event happening across the road. Today, however, we had the entire area to ourselves. Thanks Wesso Family
Found it in first place I looked thanks to paying attention to description and hint.Cheers
Out and about on a warm Saturday afternoon on the Sunshine Coast picking up a few caches and working my way towards a few challenge caches I have my eyes on.After launching the geo craft, paddling my butt off and securing a few land based caches it was time to make my way home and get ready for a Christmas catch up. Cache found safe and sound and log signed and returned safely.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found by fellow cachers.Cheers
Whilst I had some time to kill in between an appointment and work I thought I might grab this one on the way past. Looked for this one a few times but in the wrong spot. Today however it was an instant find. How did I not check there? Thanks for the hide wesso family!
My GPS was bouncing around a bit, but I’ll put that down to being an iPhone and not a dedicated GPS. Widened my search to an obvious spot and re-read the clues to hone in on the cache. TFTC.
Found while waiting to go for a kayaking cache hunt. The area is crawling with people today playing sport across the road. Fortunately, although the car parks were pretty full, all the muggles we’re watching the sport and the coast we clear for an easy cache find.
All in good condition here. TFTC Wesso

A hot day, I changed my plans to include more car caching.
The cache was out of sight from the nearby shelter.
Thank you for hiding

Wesso Family I found your cache Fishermans Surprise on 10/7/2022, 1:50 pm. This is my find 3730 and find # 9 today. Found it after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
After recent DNF I thought I better check this one out and guess what?????
It's still there safely tucked away.
Cheers Wesso

Heading back to where we are staying we had to drive past this one. Now that would be wrong - so we stopped and made a quick find of a well hidden geocache. Thanks for placing it here. It was a great place to come to find a geocache. With the log signed, a pathtag added, we replaced the cache as found and we’re on our way.
Cheers and happy caching!
Cheers and happy caching!
That was a really good hide
Very pleased we found it. We didn't bring a pen so we sort of improvised using a stick as a bit of dirt, hope we didn't spoil the log too much.

Quiet day so not many muggles around,. Quick find , didn't have a pen tho so took a pic !
Tuftc. Forgot to log it yesterday while out with geostepdad. This one was not a back breaking find. Great for a morning cache.
Pulled over for a latish breakfast and opened the app and bingo... only a hop, step and another step from the van. Took the long way around by a nice find. TFTC Cheers from The Jester and the Princess ??????+??
Parked near this one for a bit of a pedal around. The nearby AL was my target, with a few bonus caches along the way.
Headed off on the geocycle and had to duck for cover as a nasty band of rain zoomed by. 10 minutes later it was all blue skies and sunshine again.

Out with friends at the markets and saw this one close by. As it was at the end of the morning and everyone has left. It was our turn to try to find this one. Found it in good condition and well hidden. TFTC
Took geodog for awalk, and found this one. All in good condition. Put back I found TFTC
We were around the corner at a mystery cache tree climb and found a few minutes to pop by for this trad on the way home. Busier than expected thanks to the markets, but managed to find a break in the passing foot traffic to make the grab. All good here. Thanks for the cache, Wesso!
Coords were spot on.
Thanks for the cache and taking us here wesso family. Enjoyed the hunt.

No find today, didn’t feel like braving the stinky swamp to look further
New container in place.
Please ensure cache is well covered, to avoid accidental discovery by those peasky muggles.

Mozzies galore and many spidies greeted us too as we comed through fallen trunks and newer trees. Unfortunately not found, everyone says easy find, what are we missing..?...wrong side of the park perhaps
A QEF prior to a game of Petanque. Unfortunately no pen with me but message sent to owner with photo of log book. Lovely location beside the water. TFTC
We are enjoying the beautiful weather up the coast and grabbing some jewels for the souvenirs, thankfully we didn’t have to park across the road, there was a sport carnival on and no chance of searching over there! Bring on the quiet side of the road no one was about and we soon had the cache in hand.

While spending a few days around the beautiful Sunshine Coast visiting family we were able to pick up a few smilies along the way. This was the first we found in a fairly traditional type of hide. Luckily we weren't bothered by the mossies mentioned by some others. TFTC

Great hide. 8 legged cache guardian wasn't happy but we came to an agreement. Yes he is still moving.
Haha! Great hide. Nice easy one to finish a massive day kayaking on the river. TFTC
Quick easy find
Got smashed by Mozzies
Mr Wardy quickly found whilst complaining profoundly about said Mozzies.
Signed the log and hightailed out of there.

Took only a moment to figure out whe it would be. But the mosquitoes were quicker finding us. A fair few fliers.
Almost got eaten alive as Riser5 grabbed this one. A quick sign as R18 before retreating to the car. Last cache in the area before flying home to NZ.
Cheeky quick stop after school drop off and before groceries. All is well here today. Great little cache nest.
Out for a day at the water sports centre at Bli Bli we thought we’d do a few caches after. With kids a cache near a playground is always a good find. Easy find. TFTC
A nice find on a busy Sunday morning no one interested in what we are doing. Signed a brand new log sheet. TFTC
After enjoying a late afternoon paddle nearby my muggle friend and I decided to collect another smiley before returning to brisbane. i nearly run into giant spider. thankyou for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
Despite the 90ml of rain last night and heaps more in the last two weeks the log was almost bone dry.Found while visiting the famous Fishermans Rd Sunday markets.
While gps was going crazy trying to hone in on gz, I wandered around the trees a bit and spotted a likely location. Once I got to it I found the cache resting in its comfy little nest. Thanks for a great hide WF.
Taking the family up to Mooloolaba for the day and thought I would make a quick detour to find this one and hopefully a pretty little pathtag while I was at it.... TFTC
